Chapter 87 - Fang Bite (2/2)

The two hammers, instead of crushing the tender skin of the beautiful blue-haired girl, collided violently, transmitting the resulting impact on Duan Long's arms that he couldn't understand what had happened.

Until an instant ago, Lian was in front of him in mid-air with no chance of escape. A moment later, she disappeared, and his hammers ended up hitting themselves. But when his mind started recording all this, it was too late.

With the thrust generated by the drop of water, Lian had catapulted herself forward, coming behind Duan Long's back. Her silk ribbon had already wrapped around her opponent's neck vehemently.

Screech!

The silk ribbon began to rub with the protection of spirit power that protected Duan Long, who only then realized he had been trapped.

”Bastard! Don't think it will end like the other time.”

By shifting his spirit power, Duan Long tried to move the hammer that had his imprint as he could maneuver it from a distance with just his mind. However, he noticed a detail. Strange water vines had sprung up from the ground and had tied both his hammers as well as his wrists.

”Lotus Style, Aquatic Version, Binding.”

Bound by those strange vines, Duan Long was unable to react. In a short time, his vision darkened until he lost consciousness. But this time, there was no Hei to stop Lian, so the young girl continued to take the life of the mighty member of the Tree Sect.

With Duan Long and Ren dead, there was now only one member of the Tree Sect.

But unfortunately for them, Xing had already finish Tian Yaling. The head of the young woman laid separated several meters away from her body. On it, one could see the expression of terror of the young woman.

And if Xing had finished her enemy, there was no way that Ye was outdone. Li Na, the second remaining member of the Frozen Sect, was lying on the ground lifeless. Her arms and legs, and her head also, were bent in a completely different direction. It was as if she were a doll that had been a victim of a child's play session.

As for the battlefields of the other Sect Flower members, Mei and Ying Yue had won against their respective adversaries. However, both women suffered severe injuries and weren't be able to continue fighting.

Li, on the other hand, had succeeded in the incredible feat of putting K.O. Wen Guiying, but the burns on his body were too severe and had made him faint. But even so, it was already a great achievement.

However, despite the victories on the other fronts, the most crucial battle that would lead to the triumph of the Flower Sect wasn't going as planned.

The combination Cao Su and Zan had been able to destroy the four bodies operated by Chang Huan, generating an incredible surprise for the puppeteer. But to do so, not only had they consumed all their spirit power, but they had wounded all over their body, making them unable to continue.

Chang Huan, who should have been tired by the battle, except for his expenditure of spirit power, appeared completely fine as if he hadn't fought at all.

”I have to congratulate you of the Flower Sect. I would never have expected such a result. You have defeated all others, even Wen Guiying. You two haven't been outdone too. You should know that those four were bodies that I personally modified after hours and hours of experiments. They can be defined as the elite of the corpses at my disposal. But unfortunately for you, they aren't the strongest corpses in my possession, not to mention that I'm still in a condition to fight.”

Chang Huan began to approach slowly towards Cao Su and Zan. His goal was straightforward.

”Since you destroyed my elite guards, I have to replace them with other bodies. The best of the younger generation of the big sects. Thanks to you guys of the Flower Sect, I can calmly collect all these bodies.”

”Shit, fuck!” Cao Su swore on the ground.

Zan instead was looking around. All his companions, despite having won their battles, weren't in a condition to fight. It would already have been difficult for them to face Chang Huan, the Genius, in their peak conditions, let alone when they were seriously injured. His and Cao Su's defeat was a clear example of their enemy's strength.

But when he looked better, he noticed something.

Right! They weren't all incapable of fighting. The young blue-haired girl, Lian, was still standing. Despite being injured, she wasn't unable to move. Moreover, the two spirit beasts that had fought alongside them were in perfect shape, apparently without having reported any kind of damage.

However, the hope in Zan lit up when he saw a brown-skinned boy approaching. Although he was covered in blood from head to toe, particularly on his mouth, the shine of his pitch-black hair, the glow of his blue teeth, and the sharpness of his green nails made him look more like a wounded beast ready to bite those who had dared to attack him.

His arrival was perceived not only by Zan but by all the members of the Flowers Sect still conscious who watched him arriving. The same went for Chang Huan, who was struck by the strangeness of that young boy.

”What my eyes see. I sensed that you had defeated Ren, but I didn't think you were still standing. Amazing. Despite your age, you defeated the greatest genius of the Tree Sect. It is no coincidence that you earned the number 1 position in the Flower Sect,” Chang Huan complimented.

Although it was a sincere compliment, it wasn't due to a sense of admiration. Chang Huan said that just because he was happy to find a candidate so much promising as his next personal corpse.

Hei shifted his gaze momentarily to all those present. In a moment, he analyzed the situation and understood the danger in which they were now.

”Zan, Cao Su, can you move?” Hei asked.

”Yes, even if with difficulty,” Zan replied for both.

”Then, get out of here and take the others with you.”

”Leave? What the fuck are you saying? And do you think this necrophile would leave us in peace?” Cao Su swore, coughing.

”Necrophile? Although I am a lover of corpses, my interest isn't sexual. It's more like the excitement of an alchemist when he finds a rare substance or a blacksmith who has discovered a new method of metal processing. In the same way, I find pleasure in collecting corpses of talented martial artists and modifying them to make them stronger.”

”Zan, Cao Su, don't make a fuss. Do as I told you. I'll take care of him. ”

Hei's tone admitted no replies. His eyes were already hooked on the corpse manipulator, who was bursting into laughter.

”Good, yes. This is how it should be; it's not fun to end it right away. However, those are my prey. I can't let them escape.”

With one hand movement, two other bodies appeared before him and ran at high speed against Cao Su and Zan. But before they could reach the two youths, Ye and Xing appeared out of nowhere and with powerful movements tore the corpses to pieces. At the same time, Hei appeared among them.

”As I said, your opponent is me. No, it isn't correct. Your opponent is the three of us.”

As he said this, Hei smiled even more as he bared his teeth. Beside him, Ye and Xing were also doing the same hissing loudly against Chang Huan.
