Chapter 671: Green Fog

Fu Sisi never imagined that things would go south just like that.

Meeting the remnants of the North Sea Division had badly wounded her.

Strangely though, the heavily injured She Yu had miraculously recovered and seemed to be even stronger than before. She Yu had escaped and left Fu Sisi with a series of bad news to deal with. 13 people had been killed by She Yu. What was odd was that some of their bodies had gone missing. One of these bodies belonged to Gui Hu.

”We're missing five corpses.”

Her subordinate's report made her usually calm self become oddly restless.

So many of the missing corpses belonged to members of the Sky Leaf Division. How could this be when there were no signs of wild beasts scavenging?

Could She Yu be behind this?

What could She Yu possibly want with this many Sky Leaf Division corpses? Could it be the Beast Venom Palace instead?

Fu Sisi felt terribly uneasy. The Beast Venom Palace's actions were often strange and hard to predict. Furthermore, they were notorious for their nefarious deeds. What would happen if her teammates' corpses landed in their hands? Would they be able to uncover the Sky Leaf Division's secret and come up with ways to counter them?

Fu Sisi took a deep breath to calm down. She could not bear to continue this line of thought.

She had not managed to capture Ye Baiyi and She Yu had escaped. To make things worse, more than half of her subordinates had been killed, and her teammates' corpses were snatched.

She felt extremely agonized. Returning with such lousy results would definitely incur Madam's wrath. Fu Sisi did not dare harbor any thoughts of being forgiven. This was the first time she had taken on such heavy responsibility, yet she messed it up big time.

These repeated failures had, however, made her more aware.

The Sky Leaf Division's campaigns throughout Beyond Avalon were wildly successful. All the cities they had swept across could only surrender. These continued successes had made the Sky Leaf Division's leadership terribly complacent. At the time, discussions within the division came to the conclusion that only the Holy Emperor and Dai Gang were able to match up to them. They believed that any member of the Sky Leaf Division was no weaker than the top members of other divisions.

Wan Shenwei's final struggle, She Yu's guile, and Shi Beihai's overwhelming power made her realize that the world's ”heroes” were not to be trifled with.

What was she going to do now?

She suddenly raised her head and looked into the distance. Those around her looked up at the same time.

Everyone of them was dumbstruck.

…..

The ringing sound reverberating through the air gave a sense of just how terrifyingly fast the shock wave was moving. Shan Minxiong started to feel tense. An astonishingly large broadsword suddenly appeared in his hand. This sinister-looking broadsword was pitch black from tip to base except for the blood red demonic faces inlaid on its blade.

Without any hesitation, he flicked his wrist and nimbly slashed the huge broadsword in a forward arc. As the black ray flew forward, it was accompanied by an eerie wailing that would make even the hardest of men tremble.

Ping!

A soft, crisp sound rang out.

Shan Minxiong's body stiffened. The vine had not struck with much force, but efficiently pierced his defenses with its sharpness. He let out an uncontrollable cry as a wave of indescribable pain washed over his body. Paralysis soon began to set in.

The anguish he was feeling now was completely different from the pain of common injuries. He felt as though an invisible thread was tightening around his brain.

Poison?

Shan Minxiong's heart skipped a beat. He knew of many different poisons that were capable of affecting the mind.

Blinded by the pain, he took a huge step back in retreat. Right at this moment, the immense shockwave arrived at its destination.

Bam!

Shan Minxiong was hit by the force of a stampeding beast. His massive body flew backward like a sandbag.

A flash of green light could be seen as a green vine narrowly missed his body. The soft, agile tendril was like a nimble snake, swiftly retreating upon missing its target.

Duanmu Huanghun!

A single name surfaced in his mind as he sailed through the air.

Duanmu Huanghun was a key member of the Central Pine Faction, the legendary genius of the Duanmu family, and Grandmaster Dai Gang's disciple…

Waves of information flashed through his mind. The pins and needles present throughout his body were a constant reminder of just how precarious of a situation he was in.

Being a genius or whatever was of little value in this day and age. Shan Minxiong had long since lost count of the number of genius elementalists that he had slain, but this Duanmu Huanghun… Even though Shan Minxiong only had a small window to react and could barely use his strength, the fact that he was placed in such a bad position…

Shan Minxiong felt a lingering fear creeping up on him.

Duanmu Huanghun was even more powerful than what the rumors said about him!

Shan Minxiong did not have the luxury of time to ponder over such matters.

The scene before his eyes was hard to watch. Just as he had predicted, the defensive blood canopy had been shattered, and the Pinwheel Sword had devastated the entire area. A 50-foot wide crater on the ground was ample evidence of its sheer might.

Nothing was left standing where the Pinwheel Sword had struck. The entire place was littered with gore. Even the soldiers who were more than 10 feet away suffered varying degrees of severe injuries from the impact.

The Pinwheel Sword's frightening prowess was laid bare for all to see. Shan Minxiong now understood the hate that He Nanshan harbored toward this weapon of mass destruction.

However, the Pinwheel Sword looked as though it wasn't doing too well either. It was stuck in the middle of the crater.

It was not flying… could it be… damaged as well?

Shan Minxiong's eyes lit up.

An opportunity!
