“Peng.”

Simultaneous to Xue Ying’s thrust towards Protector Huo Zhu, the latter’s wooden rod also landed on Xue Ying with terrifying force. “Hong.” He turned into a stream of light and was sent flying far into the distance. At the same time, the internal structure of his Extreme Annihilation Mysterious Body armor rapidly dissipated the incoming force, so even though Xue Ying was flung far away and even spurt out a mouthful of fresh blood, his body and armor were not damaged in the least.

‘What? He withstood the attack?’

‘He actually used his body to withstand Big Brother Huo Zhu’s the wooden rod straight-up?’ The three protectors previously standing by the side in a carefree manner were shocked silly. They had nothing but confidence when it came to Protector Huo Zhu, their captain. His combat strength was known to be so tyrannical that he could even fight Monarch Hex Cricket.

While they had received information from the religious leader that Xue Ying’s armor was absurdly strong when it came to its defenses, they still thought that Protector Huo Zhu’s wooden rod, while it might not kill him in a single move, would be able to defeat Xue Ying in maybe ten or a hundred moves.

But they had just witnessed with their own eyes how Xue Ying remained unscathed and had merely spurt out a mouthful of fresh blood. At their level, as long as one didn’t suffer the destruction of part of their life force, coughing out some blood was not even worth mentioning! If one’s life force remained undamaged, they would be fine even if they spilled blood or suffered heavy injuries any number of times.

“Mn?” Protector Huo Zhu showed a slight frown. While he did have other moves that were more powerful than what he just used, such as his killing moves or his forbidden moves, an ordinary full-strength attack of his had still not even injured the other party, so he was starting to doubt that a forbidden move would even do the trick.

“This Dong Bo Xue Ying’s offense is pitiful, but his armor is extraordinary indeed. Let us proceed with our plan—we will trap and then capture him,” Protector Huo Zhu sent to the others.

“Mn.”

“Let us capture him first.”

After a single exchange of moves, they already decided to change their tactics.

“Sou sou sou sou!”

The four of them rapidly turned into streams of light and took separate paths to surround Xue Ying.

Xue Ying had also gotten a feel for his enemy after this short bout. ‘This crimson-skinned protector is exaggeratedly strong. A full-strength attack from my Blood Serpent Spear could not even pierce his skin. I should ignore him and try attacking the other three!’

“Hu.” Xue Ying’s hand did not stop. Flipping it over, he sent his spear thrusting out towards the blue-eyed man.

The Blood Serpent Spear arced through the sky in an unpredictable motion.

The blue-eyed man’s eyes were cold. With a sneer, he grabbed onto a long sword with both hands. The body of this sword was extremely thin and covered to the brim with sculptural images. Without hesitation, he slashed it over.

“Hua.”

It was a vicious slash—the world itself seemed to have split into two before his eyes. As it approached Xue Ying, the sword also began stretching.

This time, Xue Ying reacted to the strike in a thoroughly offensive manner, having seemingly discarded any notion of defense. The way he saw it, the sword might have some strange, powerful effect, but it would undoubtedly be weaker than the attack let out by the crimson-skinned protector from before.

Since Xue Ying was the first to strike, his weapon immediately went flying out into the body of this blue-eyed man, who, in response, simply used his body to withstand it. It was quite clear that he had complete confidence in his toughness. As the Blood Serpent Spear neared the body of the blue-eyed man without having suffered any obstructive force, it proceeded to pierce right into his frame, leaving behind a huge, bloody hole.

Seeing this, the blue-eyed man could not help but pale. Even though he stumbled after being struck, the power of his long sword hadn’t been affected—it successfully slashed down on Xue Ying.

“Pu~”

The vicious slash caused Xue Ying to be sent flying backward once again and bringing him ever closer to the gray-robed female protector.

“Catch him,” the blue-eyed man transmitted to her. Clearly, his attack wasn’t meant to kill him, but instead send him closer to the female protector.

“Just leave him to me.” Countless green branches came to life and began to appear on the surface of the gray-robed female protector’s body. Green leaves and branches were proliferating to envelop Xue Ying.

‘Not good.’

Xue Ying did not dare let this restricts himself.

If he were to be caught firmly enough, even if he were to enter the Mirage world to hide, the branches surrounding his body would follow him inside. In fact, if the branches were strong enough, they could even forcibly draw him out!

“Go.” Xue Ying’s spear once again shot out, this time towards the gray-robed female protector. It was moving at incredible speeds, much faster than the growth of the branches and leaves.
