Chapter 74

The cool raindrops densely wove into transparent threads, connecting the sky and the earth, forming a vast web when viewed from afar.

The rain was now even heavier, reaching the level of a torrential downpour.

Nature, bathed in the rain, was refreshed and renewed, with the humid air completely masking the strong smell of blood.

By now, the ground had already turned into a vast sea, with the dense raindrops continuously creating bubbles on the water surface, forming a wondrous melody with the surrounding "rustling" sounds.

The Skin Peeler and the Gut Slitter remained motionless despite being drenched like drowned chickens, as if their entire bodies were nailed to the muddy water, resembling two ugly statues.

For the two of them, even being pursued by a fierce and troublesome woman like Wang Chao, which kept them sleepless at night, was far less terrifying than what they had just witnessed.

The gruesome death of the Limb Cutter kept replaying in their minds, especially the heart-wrenching scream that still echoed clearly in their ears, constantly tormenting their souls, which were even uglier than their appearances.

Faced with such a death, the two would rather choose to bite their tongues and commit suicide at this moment than follow in the footsteps of the Limb Cutter.

Even the most brutal killers, despite having killed countless people in their lives, would choose a comfortable way to die when death truly approached.

Now, the two looked at Dong Fangxiuzhe with an unhidden fear in their eyes, already losing the battle in terms of momentum before even engaging.

If the two were observant enough, they would have noticed something even more shocking—Dong Fangxiuzhe was actually standing on the water.

The soles of his gray cloth shoes were as if glued to the ice, not causing any ripples, while his slightly oversized hemp clothes fluttered slightly, and his bright eyes emitted a cold light that shot towards the two nearby.

"The next one will be you!"

A smile curved at the corner of his mouth, and the light in his eyes tightly locked onto one of them, his expression eerily similar to that of a wild beast about to pounce on its prey.

For Dong Fangxiuzhe, his hunting had just begun!

A huge lightning bolt suddenly split the gray sky, creating a shocking wound, followed by a thunderous roar like a thousand horses galloping from the horizon... The rain fell mercilessly, and a new slaughter was about to begin.

Dong Fangxiuzhe, who had been standing still, suddenly began to form hand seals, his lightning-fast movements tearing through the oppressive atmosphere.

Although it broke the silence, it made the atmosphere even more chilling and bone-chilling!

"What... What is he doing?"

The Skin Peeler and the Gut Slitter were both startled. For them, everything now seemed threatening, and the sudden movement of this little demon before them immediately brought to mind the Limb Cutter's flesh being washed away by the rain.

"He won't... He won't..."

In an instant, both felt their hearts almost leap out of their chests, overwhelmed by intense unease.

Both could see that this was a prelude to the little demon's attack, but neither had any idea what kind of move it would be.

With eyes like those facing a formidable enemy, the Skin Peeler and the Gut Slitter almost instantly prepared for battle.

In the uncertain situation, rash actions would be very unwise.

At the critical moment of life and death, both selfishly wanted the other to be the one to take the risk, and subconsciously, they still harbored a sliver of hope that the Limb Cutter's death was just a result of the little demon's sneak attack.

At this moment, both suddenly saw a mocking smile on the little boy's face.

"Oh no!"

Almost as soon as this thought formed, they clearly felt a change in the water dragon above their heads.

Both had been so focused on the little demon before them that they had forgotten about the massive threat above.

The water dragon made a few flying movements and suddenly split into two.

Looking up at the two identical water dragons, the Skin Peeler and the Gut Slitter were both startled.

"Is he trying the same trick again?"

Just as both thought the water dragons were just a distraction, one of the smaller water dragons suddenly swooped down.

This time, there was no hesitation at all!

The Gut Slitter reacted quickly, lunging forward and dodging the water dragon's attack route.

The Skin Peeler's reaction was a bit slower, and by the time he tried to dodge, it was too late.

"Hmph, just a mere water column trying to hurt me? Do you really think I'm so weak?"

His eyes flashed with a cold light, and instead of retreating, he advanced, swinging his double-bladed weapons to meet the attack.

In water magic, simple water attacks are very weak because the liquid state of water makes it difficult to cause substantial damage to the enemy.

Most water mages, when attacking, choose to condense water into ice, which not only compensates for the lack of attack power but also adds a freezing effect, achieving two goals at once.

The Skin Peeler dared to be so bold mainly because he saw this.

He firmly believed that as long as he was not completely swallowed by the water dragon, he would be safe!

His weapons easily cut through the water, but the Skin Peeler's joy was short-lived.

The moment his weapons touched the water, he was horrified to find his arm numb, and then his entire body lost sensation.

Only then did he remember the lightning bolt that had struck the water dragon, but it was too late to regret.

The water dragon wrapped around the Skin Peeler like a python, the powerful water pressure beginning to constrict...

The Gut Slitter watched the Skin Peeler, who was being squeezed by the water, with a numb expression, showing no intention of helping. His eyes even seemed to express a sense of relief, as if he was glad to have escaped this fate.

The Skin Peeler could not withstand the intense water pressure, and blood began to flow from his orifices, his body gradually ceasing to resist.

"Thud~"

Finally, with a muffled sound, the Skin Peeler's internal organs and bones were crushed, instantly spilling out of his body, turning the water dragon red.

The Skin Peeler was dead!

And his death was just as gruesome!

But no one would feel sympathy for such a person!

Perhaps this was what they called "evil begets evil." The Limb Cutter's body was shattered into countless pieces when he died; the Skin Peeler's internal organs and bones were completely gone, leaving only a soft, limp body... truly fitting their respective titles.

Now, only the Gut Slitter remained of the three Ghosts of Corpse Devouring. After witnessing the little demon's terrifying power twice, he no longer harbored any illusions and used his unique combat skill to burrow into the ground, planning to escape.

But would things be so easy?

Seeing the Gut Slitter burrow into the ground, Dong Fangxiuzhe was initially taken aback, but then he pulled out a weapon from his storage ring that would make many people tremble with fear.
