Chapter 361: Just Another Meal (1/2)

”Break!”

The two brothers shouted out loud, pushing themselves even further. Cracks spread throughout their weapons as they pierced the field of lightning, stabbing into the Elephander's body.

Crying out loud, the beast's body pulsed with gold lightning, turning the weapons to dust just as the Fifth Sister arrived.

”Bite!”

She grinned as the two blades of the scythe opened wide, putting one of the tusks within and cutting it off. Pain flashed through its body as Fu Zi continued to dismember it limb by limb.

Its eyes were red with rage as it trumpeted in anger. Its trunk moved quickly, wrapping around her as its remaining tusk began to glow.

”Is it trying to take me with it?”

She realized its intention and did what was least expected. Opening her mouth wide, her teeth transformed into sharp fangs as she bit down on the trunk and ripped its flesh off, bite by bite. Her fangs tore the trunk right off, freeing her just as the Elephander burst out with power.

Her body was blown back by the blast, slamming right into the tree trunks. However, Fu Zi got up like nothing happened, then she looked down.

”Ah, I really hoped it wouldn't have come to this.”

Her body was bent in an abnormal way, like she should not be able to walk or move at all. Her spine seemed to have snapped in half and her limbs twisted in numerous ways. But she acted as if this was normal.

Rather, she seemed more annoyed than anything.

”Ah, a waste, a waste.”

With a single thought, her body trembled and cracked, returning to their orginal place as the bones reaaanged itself. At the same time, her appearance changed as well.

The Gold Tusk Elephander before her dropped to the ground in a heavy thud, having sustained too many injuries and lost too much blood. Death would come for it soon. As for the two brothers, they ran up to Fu Zi, bringing her scythe back with them.

”Fifth Senior Sister!” they called her out but paused just a few meters away.

Their faces were filled with confusion.

”Fifth... Senior Sister?”

Chen Qiu's eyes simply widened as did his brothers as they were not expecting this in the slightest. Fu Zi's appearance had changed drastically from what she originally looked like or perhaps, this was her original appearance all along.

Her cute and small stature was replaced by an old woman, whose back was bent over and hair was falling out. She was disturbing to look at, boils on her skin, not to mention yellow nails that were like talons.

She looked at the two brothers, revealing a pair of dull, sunken eyes and fang-like teeth. And her voice, weak and weary but shrill like a crow's caw. Nothing about her was soothing as she resembled something closer to a witch than anything.

”Oh why thank you, my little juniors. Thank you for helping me retireve my scythe!”

She still spoke in that same playful tone but now it seemed more creepy than cute. Grabbing her scythe, Fu Zi looked at it before smiling to her two juniors.

They looked at her, astounded by this sudden reveal.

”Fifth Senior Sister, is that really you?”

Chen Liu asked as he stepped forward but she ignored him, only staring at her scythe. Chen Qiu stopped him from moving any further. His eyes seemed to flash as he made his own revelation.

”This was why Second Senior Brother called her ”Old Hag”. She's actually older than him!” he thought.

They looked at her, unsure what to do or even say.

”Haah, I suppose I should've been watching my skin better. It's quite hard to maintain my youth.”

She sighed, shaking her head in a tired way.

”Then, is there a way to help you, Fifth Senior Sister?” they asked.

Fu Zi was silent, the grip on her scythe tightened as the skull's eyes burst out with life. Unlike her frail appearance, she was quick, far too quick for the two brothers to act as she swung her scythe. The fangs of the two blades grew even more jagged as it bit into Chen Qiu.
