Chapter 225 - Necro Dragon’s Screech Shakes the Four Demons (2/2)
With a cry, Violent Demon grabbed Li Jingtian’s hand that held Sly Demon and chomped.
Li Jingtian let go from the pain and Sly Demon rejoiced in his newfound freedom.
The four demons then returned into circling Li Jingtian at high speeds and letting out eerie laughter.
He may be a martial fanatic, and fearless in face of adversity, but fighting these four demons had him at his wits’ end. He couldn’t make heads or tails when they were weak or strong. It was like hitting frickin’ cotton.
The four noticed his predicament and laughed as they charged, “Brothers, let’s fleece this guy and shame him thoroughly!”
Oh!
The other cheered and Li Jingtian turned serious, eyeing the afterimages around him. But then, they up and vanished, appearing instead as hazy images, as if ghosts from the Underworld.
Li Jingtian punched.
He hit nothing, of course, while the ghosts wrapped around his body. In a blink, his jacket and storage ring left him soundlessly. As if swallowed by those gray ghosts.
When the ghosts drew away, they once again let out creepy laughter. Li Jingtian was left in flimsy undergarments, watching his surroundings in shock.
“I see. So this is their Unity Tactic. As expected from a demonic skill, striking at the heart of things!” Zhuo Fan took a deep breath and shouted, “Elder Li, we are not their match. Retreat at once!”
Zhuo Fan was the first to fly away. Li Jingtian gnashed his teeth and snorted in anger before following suit.
The four figures reappeared as they watched the pair leave with smiles.
“Humph, that old geezer thinks he can get away after humiliating us? Hi-hi-hi, brothers, charge!”
Oh!
Under Violent Demon’s order, they all cried in unison and gave chase. They were not in the least bit slower than Li Jingtian, perhaps even faster.
Li Jingtian threw a look back and paled as he arrived next to Zhuo Fan, “They are clearly in the 3rd layer of Radiant Stage so how are they surpassing my speed? They’ll soon be upon us!”
“No worries, that’s only the third brother’s cultivation method, which focused on speed alone. Even if he does catch up to us, he can’t do jack squat!” Snickering Zhuo put on an ambiguous smile.
Li Jingtian was startled, but clueless nonetheless.
“Elder Li, once they get close, we’ll finish them off in a blink!”
“What?” Li Jingtian cried, “How?”
He had tangled with the four at full power to no avail. He couldn’t find any real way of dealing with these weird quadruplets.
Zhuo Fan said, “They use a unity tactic, so getting rid of one is of course impossible. You need to defeat all four of them at the same time. Going after just one is pointless!”
“Then how…” Li Jingtian muttered.
Smiling, Zhuo Fan raised an eyebrow, “Elder Li, do you recall Wraith Style’s third move?”
Li Jingtian’s eyes lit up and nodded, as both of them broke out in laughter.
“Then… shall we do this together?” Li Jingtian asked.
“Of course. Rather be safe than sorry!”
Zhuo Fan smiled and his hand made a sign, with Li Jingtian copying him.
The four demons were right behind the two when Violent Demon screamed, “You two better give up and I may be inclined to spare your miserable lives!”
“And, and, pay us for the broken bone staff…” Scrooge Demon added.
With a snicker, Zhuo Fan and Li Jingtian shared a look and nodded. They grounded to a halt and shot straight for the oblivious four, shouting in unison, “Wraith Style’s third move, Necro Dragon’s Screech!”
Roar!
With two draconic roars, two soul ripples shot straight for Four Scheming Demons.
They cried in shock, having not expected them to know a sound martial art, the bane of their unity tactic.
A pity realizing wasn’t the same as escaping it.
In a blink, the mighty sound waves crashed into the four. They couldn’t even wail their pain as they spat blood and toppled over like logs.
Even the forest beneath them was affected, turning into a place of death as animal corpses littered the earth. After all, this was the combined attack of two souls! How could the average man handle it?
These four 3rd layer Radiant Stage experts were no different!
Peace soon instilled once again, though carrying with it an eerie tune. Zhuo Fan and Elder Li watched the dead eyed four demons on the ground and gave a smug smile.
Li Jingtian in particular. He snatched back his jacket and storage ring from Scrooge Demon and cursed, “Goddamn it, what are you doing still holding them when you’re out like a light? No wonder he’s Scrooge Demon. Well let me return the favor and make you demons in the truest sense by sending you all to hell!”
“Elder Li, wait!”
Zhuo Fan rushed to stop him, “I still have use for the four. Seal their cultivation for now!”
Li Jingtian nodded after a pause, catching Zhuo Fan’s drift.
[He-he-he, the four’s hell has only just begun…]
