Chapter - 54 Two Killers In the Tempest (10) (2/2)

Mei Chaofeng responded with a thunderous and terrifying laugh.

”So Old Bastard, you didn't die! You're the one that used the poisonous projectiles, aren't you? Have you come to avenge 'Divine Dragon Soaring Through the Sky's' death?”

”Precisely! Since you haven't died yet…that suits me well!”

Mei sighed and stayed silent.

The Seven Freaks remained on guard. At that moment, the moon was nearly hidden by the dark clouds, and everyone felt the insidious and penetrating cold. Mei Chaofeng stood immobile like a stone statue, her hands alongside her body, and the moon light reflecting off her sharp nails. The strong wind that blew from behind her raised her long hair. Han Xiaoying, who was in front of her, saw blood oozing from her eyes.

Suddenly, Zhu Cong and Quan Jinfa shouted at the same time, ”She attacks, Older Brother!”

As their voices resounded again, Ke Zhen'E sensed a hit was about to arrive on his chest. He bounded into the air by delivering a heavy stroke to the ground with his staff, and landed on top of a tree that was behind him. The blow delivered by 'Iron Corpse' missed its target; instead, she planted her ten fingers in the trunk of the tree. The Six Freak's faces were pale with terror. Had Ke Zhen'E lingered for only one second, the nails would be planted in his body. How would he have been able to escape alive?

Having missed her adversary, Mei Chaofeng released a sudden long and weird howl, very piercing, but with a power that carried far.

”How unfortunate”, Zhu Cong thought, ”she calls her husband 'Copper Corpse' for help.” Quickly, he shouted, ”It is time to finish her!”

He mobilized all his energy into his arm and heavily hit Mei Chaofeng's back, while Zhang Ahsheng raised a big stone which he brought down at her head.

'Iron Corpse', who had just lost her vision, didn't yet know how to protect herself by using her hearing, like Ke Zhen'E. The big stone, while coming down, made a noise that she could hear and she quickly avoided it. But she could not avoid Zhu Cong's stroke. Even though she had trained her body for extreme resistance to accupoint strikes, the 'Scholar' not only had quick hands but also strong ones; she felt a stabbing pain in her back.

Zhu Cong wanted to take advantage of his position and continued to hit her, but Mei Chaofeng counter-attacked with a slash of her claws, and he moved back.

Just as the other Freaks got ready to step in, they heard a long howl coming from far away. It had the same tonal quality that Mei had used a while ago, and it gave them the creeps. Shortly, a second howl was heard, but this time a lot nearer.
