A cold wind blew in with the rain, and Beverly felt a chill on her chest and abdomen. She quickly glanced down and realized that her only remaining clothes, including her close-fitting tank top and shorts, along with her underwear, had been torn to shreds by the intense fighting. Only a few loose threads held them together, preventing her from running around naked.
With the slightest movement, half of the cloth fluttered away like a butterfly, startling her so much that she quickly hugged her arms to protect her vitals.
"Hmm, Mr. Lu Xun was right after all. Time is like a ditch; if you squeeze it out, you can always find some..."
Zhu Mingyao glanced at the corner of his eye and pursed his lips slightly, "Small ones are cute too."
Perhaps it was because he had committed a sin of speech by arbitrarily altering the famous sayings of the ancients, which brought about retribution from the unseen world. In the thick, inky night in the distance, a red light suddenly appeared, and in an instant, a long stream of scorching flames rushed towards him!
The flames were blazing, the heat was intense, and the flowers, grass and shrubs along the way were dried and set ablaze. The fine rain instantly turned into mist.
"Watch out!" Beverly cried out anxiously as she fought and fled, knowing all too well the power of her monstrous enemy.
Having experienced the trials and tribulations of real combat, coupled with the hidden transformation of the Owl Bear, he was generally unmatched by most superhumans of the same level when it came to a real fight. Yet, he managed to escape from his opponent by using every trick in the book.
This newly acquainted sugar daddy, although supposedly a [Knight-rank] spellcaster, what if he's just a scholar with a high rank but no real skill...?
"Crack-!"
The roar of the rushing water swirled around her ears, instantly dispelling Beverly's worries.
She blankly caught the coat thrown to her, staring blankly as the raindrops and puddles gathered and condensed into a shimmering, transparent sword. The sword flowed upstream, nimbly tearing through a long pillar of fire, before striking the pursuing mechanical monster with a heavy blow, sending him tumbling backward.
"Rest well and stay still." A warm, large hand patted her head and carefully helped to cover her coat to prevent her from being exposed, waking Miss Druid from her stunned state.
Feeling a healing energy, like that of a hot spring, envelop her, restoring her strength and protecting her from the cold winds outside. Looking around, she saw five powerful ghost soldiers surrounding her like an iron barrel, protecting her completely. Beverly felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
Clutching the coat lapels on both sides, her eyelids trembled, and her gaze lowered sadly.
"Since my mother passed away, how long has it been since I received such care..."
What thoughts were swirling in the heart of a girl who had lived a lonely life for so long? Zhu Mingyao, of course, had no idea.
He secretly ordered the Five Elements Yin Soldiers to closely guard/monitor the target, just to prevent this silly girl from suddenly running out and stealing the monster from him.
"Oh dear, it must be because of the good deeds I've done in the past that I'm receiving this reward..."
A yellow light burst forth beneath his feet, and as if shrinking the distance to an inch, he traversed a distance of dozens of meters in a single step. With a flick of his finger, the sword pellet spun and flew, instantly shredding a pile of tentacle-like tools into scrap metal.
"...You can get a free experience bonus just by watching soap operas indoors." The silver ribbon slashed down, carrying with it his cheerful second half of the sentence.
Sparks flew, metal flew everywhere, and a tall figure was split in two from head to hip, falling evenly to both sides. Gears of various sizes mixed with a few human bones scattered with a clatter, and foul-smelling unknown engine oil spilled all over the ground.
"Hmm?" Zhu Mingyao raised an eyebrow, having killed the enemy with a single blow.
What was before him was no longer the mechanical monster covered in a black leather suit from head to toe, but a life-sized mechanical teddy bear with a withered corpse inside!
He snorted coldly, flicked his finger, and a streak of clear light and flames splashed out, burning a large hole in the void, breaking through the illusion and revealing his rapidly fleeing figure.
"Trying to switch places with me is like showing off your limited skills before an expert!"
He pinched his index and middle fingers together, about to cast a spell, when suddenly his face darkened. He waved his hand and sent out a small dragon woven from black velvet to chase after the enemy, while he himself floated back and pushed his palms together diagonally downwards.
"Five Elements Qi Restriction!"
As he shouted urgently, five-colored light flashed and disappeared on the ground, and the invisible energy field just suppressed the large lump of flesh that was gushing out.
Those were naked human bodies twisted and tangled together!
Dozens or even hundreds of human bodies were disassembled like Lego bricks, their limbs and heads removed and then randomly reassembled. A dense network of some kind of thread served as the connecting material, threading through the fat, flesh, and bones at the joints, forming a giant, disgusting flesh worm.
The "worm" bared its fangs and claws, but could not advance an inch under the Qi restriction. A vicious attack was blocked, but the enemy hidden behind it did not seem to have any intention of giving up easily. The giant "worm" suddenly collapsed, turning into a series of strange and deformed corpses that scattered and bypassed the Qi restriction spell's blockade range, attacking from all directions.
The sword light shortened and condensed into a three-foot-long green blade, deflecting the huge, pitch-black iron hook that suddenly appeared from behind. Zhu Mingyao slapped back, and finger-thick blue-green arcs of electricity intertwined into a net, crackling in the air. Countless tiny insects carrying sparks swarmed down, emitting the acrid smell of burnt protein.
He raised his peachwood staff and swung it with a flourish. With a single move, "Phoenix Nods," a dazzling golden light shattered the glass mirror embedded in the roadside billboard. A black figure wearing a brown-collared woolen coat fell out of it, cried out in pain, and transformed into a stream of light, disappearing into the shattered glass, never daring to show his face again.
"Quite a few people, so you came as a group?" Zhu Mingyao glanced at the several mechanical dolls that were charging menacingly with heavy footsteps, his expression more pleased than surprised, and pointed his dark blue wooden staff to the sky:
"If we can accumulate enough points to upgrade the [Shangqing Huangting Neijing Jing] today, I'll hold a Yellow Register Ritual for you to help the deceased be reborn in the Pure Land, how about that?"
A playful remark accompanied by bursts of crimson light descended from the sky, instantly engulfing the small park square in a sea of lightning and flames.
The violent blast of air vibrated her eardrums and stirred up thick dust, forcing Beverly to close her eyes and cover her ears. When she opened her eyes in terror, she saw wreckage everywhere and wisps of white smoke. All the mutated corpses and demonized dolls had been swept away.
A solemn golden pattern surrounded it for protection, while a sinister silver light flashed by in the distance.
"Stay in the circle and don't move. I'll be right back!"
Chapter 266 Remember not to open champagne at halftime
The red-haired girl's heart tightened, and she quickly put her hands in front of her mouth and shouted loudly:
"I'm fine, please don't risk chasing after me!"
That one freakish monster alone was powerful and terrifying enough, and with its accomplices in the shadows, she was very worried that this gentle and kind-hearted sugar daddy would fall into an ambush.
After all, the principle of not pursuing a defeated enemy is universally applicable.
"No, since they dared to do it... I must..."
The angry voice echoed from afar, then quickly faded away as it reverberated through the sparse grove of trees in the park.
Miss Druid, who barely caught a few words, stammered, tilting her head like a dazed beast as she pondered for a long time. Her face gradually turned the same color as her hair, and her heart pounded.
"He means...it's for me? But...we've only just met..."
……
"No, since they dare to show their face in front of me, they must be transformed into... (my reward points!)"
He casually uttered half a sentence in a fit of anger, unaware that it had already created some ambiguity. With the sword light in front of him as a guide, he drilled through the air resistance like a silver-white shooting star, chasing after the three frantically fleeing aura ahead.
These three individuals, one in the open and two in the shadows, are all around the Knight rank/Innate Realm, making them rare elite monsters. They are also clearly evil demons who kill and cause harm. Now that they have appeared, there is no reason for them to be let go.
The sword energy was sharp and fierce, cutting straight through various obstacles.
Trees snapped, benches shattered, and clumps of flowers and grass were instantly reduced to colorful powder, which then mixed with rainwater and turned into a puddle of mud.
Zhu Mingyao didn't care whether the municipal staff would faint from anger while going through the motions tomorrow or simply hurl insults at him. Right now, all he could see in his mind's eye were three strange shadows that were getting closer and closer!
……
……
"Couldn't you guys have come earlier, you son of a bitch?!"
Countless thin yet strong metal wires shot out, wrapping around the trees and streetlights, like flexible tentacles pulling the mechanical monster at high speed.
He growled in a frustrated low voice, "A little earlier, just a little earlier! Then I could have caught that beautiful prey!"
"You're still thinking about prey? Come on, if we had arrived any later, the circus would probably have needed to find another prop master."
A strange light and shadow followed closely behind, its form shifting between tall and short, fat and thin, beautiful and ugly, its peculiar tone trembling slightly, like a group of men, women, and children chattering and sneering at each other.
"If the commander hadn't sensed the situation here and sent us to rescue you in time, you fool who acted on your own, you would already be a pile of scrap metal!"
"My hunting was permitted in advance!"
"I'm just letting you have some fun, but I don't permit you to pursue them at will and expose your existence!"
"Shut up, all of you!" A hoarse male voice interrupted the argument. Along the park's walkway, stainless steel trash cans gleamed like mirrors after being washed by the rain, and blurry human figures darted past as their eerie lights flickered on them.
Large swathes of incredibly viscous, yellowish-black liquid appeared out of nowhere, like surging ocean waves, rolling towards the exotic mythical beast that suddenly descended from the sky.
"Charge out first! That tough guy is catching up!"
Now that Zhu Mingyao has formed his natal talisman, the power of the [Dragon Transformation Spell] has increased further, granting the summoned beings additional power attributes.
The ten-zhang-long black dragon's body shimmered with light, clearly amplified by the northern Ren-Kui energy. Bathed in the rain, it was truly in its element.
Seeing the enemy approaching, it twisted its body with great intelligence, and its long tail covered with scales swept out, stirring up waves that were half real and half illusory, which blocked the viscous black and yellow turbid flow. Its dark purple mouth opened, and a black jade "dragon pearl" surrounded by mysterious light was ready to be released!
Just as the word "Dragon Ball" was about to be uttered, the black dragon suddenly stopped moving and began to tremble stiffly. Strands of transparent silk threads fell from its top and silently entered its body.
Taking advantage of this opening, two steel parts came rushing in and quickly combined to transform into two huge, gleaming animal traps. Like two fangs, they bit down hard on the dragon's hind legs, pulling it from its floating state to the ground, where it fell right into the viscous liquid filled with evil energy.
"Crackling and snapping!" The viscous liquid, like a living soft-bodied creature, surged and climbed one after another. Once it wrapped around the body, it quickly hardened, turning into a hard crystal comparable to steel. No matter how hard the black dragon struggled, it could only barely keep half of its body from being turned into a statue. It was impossible to completely break free.
Using their combined abilities, they trapped the powerful summoned creature that had been intercepting them. Instead of striking while the iron was hot, the three-headed demon cunningly drew an arc and darted off in another direction.
"Almost there..." Seeing the predetermined "target" in sight, the mechanical monster's chest, which had long since stopped breathing, heaved slightly.
However, a thick golden whip suddenly lashed out, severing the entire cement and stone brick park path. Amidst the flying mud and water, a pale golden light curtain with flowing cloud patterns blocked the way.
"Bang bang bang!" In the blink of an eye, three light screens rose up almost simultaneously, surrounding them from all sides, then folding and splicing together from top to bottom to form a standard octagonal shape, like a strange container, trapping them in the center.
"Rise!" With a clear shout, a talisman fell, as if a switch had been pressed, and a blazing red-gold flame suddenly appeared, fiercely burning around the three "people".
"Hehehe! I've finally caught you three little bugs." Zhu Mingyao walked out slowly, chuckling strangely as he shrugged his shoulders, looking quite like a reincarnated elder of the Soul Palace.
"You've offended me, and you think you can just leave!"
He glanced at the few creatures screaming and howling in the makeshift Eight Trigrams Furnace, then casually added more power to the Demon-Subduing True Fire, and happily counted on his fingers the approximate haul.
He had only fiddled with it for a moment when Zhu Mingyao's ears suddenly twitched, and he turned his head to look with suspicion and vigilance.
The neighborhood park wasn't very large, and the battlefield was now located next to an external highway.
Zhu Mingyao's eyes swept around and he saw a round, soft thing struggling to squeeze out of a sewer opening by the roadside.
The next moment, as if it had eaten Wallace, the narrow opening turned into a jetpack, and countless identical things shot out at bullet speed!
"Fuck..."
Before he could finish uttering a curse, his figure was swallowed up by a bunch of colorful balloons.
The vast army of colorful balloons, like an endless Yangtze River, crashed into the magic array, bursting into plumes of eerie gray smoke. The golden light curtain quickly dimmed, and in an instant, a large hole appeared.
The balloon spun around in the long river, scooped up three dark shadows, and quickly retreated back into the sewer.
"Where do you think you're going!" With a furious shout, the black dragon floated in the air, bit the tail of the balloon river, and bared its fangs as it burrowed into the tunnel.
Unexpectedly, with a very slight sound, the black dragon trembled slightly, and the half of its body that was still outside the sewer suddenly shrank back to its original form, losing all its spiritual light and falling to the ground.
"Huh? A spatial treasure?"
Having escaped, Zhu Mingyao picked up the half of the velvet dragon and looked at the smooth, mirror-like break, his face a mixture of surprise and annoyance.
Chapter 267 Strict Group Rules 1
"Boom!"
The little red leather shoes tapped crisply on the smooth marble tiles.
