Chapter 2596: Courting Death
Salamay chuckled. “It has been a while, young master. You’re still as dashing as ever.”
The Goddess of Wu Mountain, Ji Xiaoxi, and Xie Daoyun frowned upon hearing her laughter. Her way of speaking is so detestable.
Zu An looked around and noticed someone missing. “Where’s Princess Suolun?”
“Tsk tsk tsk. The princess will be moved to know that you’re so concerned about her.” Salamay shook her head. “But shouldn’t you show concern to me too, young master? How heartless!”
Zu An harrumphed. “It hasn’t been that long, but you have changed.” fгeewebnovёl.com
“Changed? Am I more beautiful than before?” Salamay asked.
“You’ve become cheap.”
“...” Salamay’s smile froze on the spot.
You have successfully trolled Salamay for +444... +444... +444...
The smiles didn’t disappear. In this case, they merely moved from Salamay’s face to Ji Xiaoxi and the others.
Seeing his daughter getting humiliated, the Lord of Slaughter harrumphed in anger. “Brat, you’re courting death!”
He stomped his feet, causing the ground to shake. He leaped into the air and unleashed terrifying saber ki on Zu An.
The humans on the city wall, despite being a far distance away, couldn’t withstand the terrifying pressure and fell paralyzed on their butts. Their weapons scattered all over the ground.
Zu An drew the Sun Slaying Bow and shot an arrow. It pierced right through the Lord of Slaughter’s saber ki and accurately struck his saber.
Ding!
A piercing sound rang out, and the Lord of Slaughter was sent flying. His arm was numb, and he stared at his saber in shock. It was cracked.
This put him in a terrible mood. He had already returned to his peak, and several fortuitous encounters had further raised his fighting prowess. On top of that, Salamay had shared with him how Zu An defeated the Monster Lord back then, which gave him a good grasp of Zu An’s skills. Given that Zu An’s cultivation was beneath his, as long as he leveraged on his own strengths, he should have been able to pull off an easy victory against the latter. He hadn’t expected to suffer such a huge setback right from the get-go.
“Be careful of his bow. That’s Suzeng, a divine weapon that can even shoot down the suns in the sky,” Feng Meng warned.
The Lord of Slaughter was appalled. He had seen Zu An use this bow before, but never had it displayed might comparable to what shot the suns down earlier. He was glad Zu An had opted for rapid fire instead of going for a full power shot, or else that earlier arrow could have claimed his life.
“Don’t you pride yourself on being the number one archer? Why don’t we compete on those terms?” Zu An sneered as he shot another arrow at Feng Meng.
Feng Meng took in the earlier lesson and didn’t dare to let his guard down. He rapidly fired three arrows, each one accurately striking the heads of Zu An’s arrows to neutralize their force.
In the meantime, the Lord of Slaughter used the chance to charge at Zu An like a cannonball.
However, the Goddess of Wu Mountain gently moved her fingers, and layers of rippling water suddenly blocked his path. This caused the Lord of Slaughter’s movements to slow as if he was trapped in a bog.
In the meantime, Xie Daoyun channeled her talismans. Two massive golden-armored warriors descended from the sky. One held the Lord of Slaughter down, and the other swung his massive axe down on the latter’s head.
The Lord of Slaughter roared. He transformed into his true body, enlarging into a humongous dinosaur monster that towered over the others. He knocked down a golden-armored warrior with a kick, before brandishing his saber to slice the other one in half.
The golden-armored warrior who was knocked down tried to return to his feet, only for the Lord of Slaughter to raise his massive foot and stamp down on the former's head.
Pu!
The golden-armored warrior’s head burst like a watermelon, and his figure dissipated.
These kills drew out the Lord of Slaughter’s bloodthirst. He raised his neck upward and unleashed a terrifying roar.
The humans spectating the battle were so intimidated by the roar that some even pissed their pants. This was natural fear they felt toward their nemesis.
“Monster! He’s a monster!”
“He isn’t a human!”
“What kind of monstrosity is he?!”
...
A few human warriors had still been planning to aid the Lord of Slaughter, but the sight of his true form caused their feet to halt in place. Some even retreated out of fear.
The Lord of Slaughter’s eyes reddened. These lowly, reprehensible humans! Just wait till I subdue Zu An; I’ll surely capture some to have a taste! Fine, in light of that lord, I’ll just gobble up a thousand of you. He shouldn’t punish me if it’s only to this extent.
Many more hands suddenly sprouted out of Feng Meng’s body, and his bow seemed to clone itself as well. He began firing arrows at Zu An like a gatling gun, not giving the latter any time to rest while buying time for the Lord of Slaughter to approach him.
The Lord of Slaughter understood the intent and charged toward Zu An. The next moment, however, the sky abruptly darkened, and a purple sea of lightning instantly enveloped him.
It was the High Firmament Talisman!
Despite the Lord of Slaughter’s resilient body, the ferocious purple lightning still had him screaming in pain. As this world was rich in natural ki, the prowess of heavenly lightning was far stronger compared to other worlds.
“You lowly slut! How dare you!” Salamay roared as she charged at Xie Daoyun with a dagger.
Xie Daoyun was startled. She was too busy channeling the High Firmament Talisman to dodge.
“I won’t allow you to hurt big sister Xie!” Ji Xiaoxi suddenly cried out as she sprayed a black fog at the incoming Salamay.
Salamay’s plan was to endure the poison fog and first get rid of Xie Daoyun. Since Ji Xiaoxi's cultivation was only on the level of Taoqiu’s ordinary warriors, Salamay didn't think she was a threat. Furthermore, she always carried a couple of defensive artifacts with her.
It was only upon coming into contact with the black fog that she realized how grievous of a mistake she had made. Her protective artifacts enveloped her with protective light barriers, but all of them shattered as soon as they came into contact with the fog. She felt an excruciating pain assaulting her, and that prompted her to quickly retreat.
“GAHHH! MY FACE!” Salamay retreated while clawing at her face. It didn’t take long before her beautiful features were disfigured. To make things worse, the black fog was still seeping deeper into her body. It melted her flesh and blood, revealing her white bones beneath.
This made the Lord of Slaughter roar in anger.
The spectators were horrified as well. They couldn’t believe that the sweet-looking, frail lady would employ such a terrifying poison.
Ji Xiaoxi was stunned too. She quickly tossed a porcelain bottle over. “Here, hurry up and take the antidote.”
As a renowned physician, she had previously concocted medicine to suppress her body’s poison. At the same time, she also controlled the black fog to leave Salamay’s body.
Without any hesitation, Salamay grabbed the porcelain bottle and downed its contents. Her frenzy gradually receded as the medicine took effect. With her formidable recovery prowess, she swiftly regrew her flesh and skin. However, perhaps due to the poison seeping in too deeply, all kinds of warts and scars were left on her beautiful face, making her look hideous.
“You bitch! I’ll murder you!” Salamay glared at Ji Xiaoxi with venomous eyes. She had never expected to suffer such a setback in the latter’s hands.
“S-Sorry...” Ji Xiaoxi profusely apologized, not having expected Salamay to end up like that.
Zu An was speechless How can anyone be this kind? If the situation was reversed, there’s no way Salamay would spare her.
He turned toward the city and shouted, “You’re still holding out. Are you planning to watch as they march to their deaths here?”
After saying his piece, Zu An shot a gleaming arrow that easily dispersed Feng Meng’s exaggerated arrow rain. The arrow whizzed onward with unabated momentum to shatter Feng Meng’s bow before pinning him against the city wall.
