517 Failure (1/2)

An Sheng's personal abilities were definitely top-notch at the Epic stage. However, even he couldn't approach the scorpion. The scorpion's speed was too fast. With a flap of its wings, it could easily fly hundreds of meters away. Even Zhou Wen probably couldn't catch up to it easily with Ghost Steps.

After repeatedly resolving the blood-colored text of wind, fire, and lightning, An Sheng and company seemed to have found an opportunity to counterattack. With An Sheng's command, the officers unleashed their strongest attack as terrifying forces struck the scorpion.

There was a sanguine flash on the scorpion's back as a huge blood-red text appeared. It was like a shield that blocked their attacks.

With a series of crashing sounds, their forces were shattered, but the blood-colored barrier remained completely fine.

An Tianzuo, who had remained motionless all this while, finally made a move. Flames rose over his body, turning into a strange Life Soul.

The Life Soul's entire body was covered in white armor. The armor was neither gold nor jade. It looked more like it was carved from bones.

Behind him was a blood-red cape. In his left hand was a slender bone saber covered in blood patterns. In his other hand was a gun made of bones.

That thing… It can't be a Gatling, right… Zhou Wen looked at the weapon in the Life Soul's hand. The bone gun barrel was connected to the recoil mechanism. It looked like an ancient hot weapon that was often seen in movies.

Just as Zhou Wen was pondering over it, he heard a terrifying boom. He saw the bone gun barrel shoot out blood-colored bullets like a storm.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Bullets rained down on the scorpion's blood-red text barrier, causing it to flicker as though it could shatter at any moment.

Buzzing sounds could be heard as the bullets poured freely. The bloody text barrier of the scorpion shattered.

This was the first time Zhou Wen had seen someone's Life Soul produce a hot weapon. Furthermore, its attack was crazy powerful. It could actually break through a Mythical-stage barrier.

Although it was only a rather weak Mythical creature, Zhou Wen had relied on Ever-Victorious's characteristic to kill Medusa. His Life Soul alone wasn't that powerful.

The bullet hit the scorpion's body, instantly infuriating it. The wings on its back spread open, and there was a blood-red glow on its wings. Its entire body was covered in blood-red light, and the blood-red symbol at the tip of its tail appeared especially terrifying.

The blood text circled around the scorpion's body and kept spinning, blocking the rain of bullets.

When the bullets struck the blood text, they created a terrifying explosive shockwave that blasted the surrounding forest into pieces.

”Activate the halo,” An Sheng instructed the officers.

”Activate the curse.” An Sheng also used an Essence Energy Skill when he issued the order. He produced a strange gray smoke that enveloped the scorpion.

The other officers also used various powers. Those powers did not have any lethality, but they had a slight effect on the scorpion.

Boom!

The scorpion was furious after being bombarded by the Gatling's attacks. The blood-red text surrounding it exploded with a terrifying sanguine light. Almost instantly, it engulfed everything nearby.

”Retreat.” An Sheng issued an order before the blood text exploded.

All the officers retreated with An Sheng in a great display of teamwork. Zhou Wen followed them and retreated, but he realized that An Tianzuo didn't retreat.

The expanding sanguine light resembled a blood-colored black hole, devouring everything nearby. An Tianzuo was already standing at the edge of the blood hole, about to be devoured.
