Chapter 390: Jialan vs. Cao Yuan
On the other side.
At the top of a towering skyscraper, Lin Qiye stood in the darkness, holding a knife in one hand.
Suddenly, a violent explosion echoed from afar. He paused for a moment, then turned sharply to look. “That is…” “They have encountered Team 017 head-on.” An Qingyu’s figure floated down from mid-air, landing lightly on the ground. She stood up and looked towards the source of the sound, frowning as she spoke. “How many are there on the other side?” Lin Qiye asked.
An Qingyu slightly closed her eyes, using the mental link between the rat tide to observe the situation from a distance. “Two,” she replied calmly, “but their forbidden ruins seem to be very restrained against Bai Li Pangpang and Cao Yuan, and their strength is quite formidable. The situation is not optimistic.” “The Night Watch team stationed in Gusu City naturally won’t be weak…” Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, then turned to An Qingyu. “What do you think their chances of winning are? Do I need to teleport over to support them now?”
According to the original plan, this reverse summoning and feinting maneuver was supposed to be used during the final confrontation with [Bell Crand], and if Lin Qiye teleported over now, the original layout would be disrupted, turning them from the active party into the passive one in an instant.
Moreover, this would put An Qingyu in a dangerous situation where she would have to act alone, making her an easy target for [Bell Crand]. Therefore, Lin Qiye should not teleport over unless absolutely necessary.
An Qingyu hesitated for a moment before speaking: “Without Jialan, their chances of winning are less than thirty percent.”
Lin Qiye was slightly taken aback. “What if we include Jialan?”
An Qingyu raised her head, a slight smile appearing at the corners of her mouth. “Eighty percent.”
…
By Silver Chicken Lake.
Cao Yuan’s hand slowly gripped the hilt of his straight knife, invisible threads wrapping around his joints. A strange power surged through the threads into his body, controlling every inch of his muscles.
He gritted his teeth, beads of sweat the size of beans sliding down his cheeks, but the power in his hand grew stronger. “You should leave… With Qiye not here, you can’t hold me down!” Cao Yuan glared at Jialan, gritting his teeth.
Jialan calmly looked at him, drawing a light yellow hardwood bow from her back, nocking an arrow, and aiming at the figure standing on the rooftop.
Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Cao Yuan, her lips slightly parted: “Don’t… worry…”
Seemingly sensing Jialan’s killing intent, the figure on the rooftop suddenly curled a finger, and the power in Cao Yuan’s hand instantly surged several times.
Crack—!!
With a light sound, the straight knife was pulled half an inch from its sheath.
In the next moment, black flames instantly engulfed Cao Yuan’s entire body, a surge of murderous aura erupting from him. He seemed to transform into a ferocious killing machine, wielding the black flame straight knife, his eyes devoid of any clarity. “Hehehe…”
He let out a sinister laugh, his crimson eyes fixed on the only living being in front of him, and in an instant, he charged forward!
At the moment Cao Yuan’s forbidden ruins were unleashed, the figure on the rooftop suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, staggering back a few steps. Blood appeared at the tips of all ten fingers, and the threads that had wrapped around Cao Yuan’s body were instantly severed!
He was backfired by Cao Yuan’s murderous aura.
But this did not hinder Cao Yuan’s rampage.
Jialan felt the howling wind rushing beside her, her expression slightly tightening. She quickly placed the hardwood bow behind her, raised her hands slightly, and assumed a battle stance filled with ancient charm.
The blade, wrapped in black murderous aura, slashed directly towards Jialan’s throat. Jialan showed no intention of dodging, staring at the knife as it came for her, her eyes not blinking.
Clang—!!
The blade struck Jialan’s slender neck, producing a soft hum. Neither the murderous flames nor the sharp blade could pierce her skin, as if it had struck an indestructible steel plate, unable to leave a mark!
At the same time, one of Jialan’s hands shot out like lightning, gripping the throat of the frenzied Cao Yuan, while the other hand seized his collar and suddenly pulled!
The frenzied Cao Yuan was forcibly lifted, thrown over her shoulder, and slammed into the ground beneath them!
Bricks shattered and flew!
The frenzied Cao Yuan let out a roar, and the moment his back hit the ground, a terrifying force erupted, propelling him off the ground like a cannonball, crashing into Jialan. The two figures flew low, smashing through several stone walls, and Jialan’s form was embedded into the last stone wall.
Thick smoke billowed, and the frenzied Cao Yuan turned the knife around, wildly hacking at Jialan. The black flames erupted, engulfing the surrounding environment. “Hehehe…”
Crack—!!
Suddenly, a pale hand emerged from the smoke, gripping the blade of the black flame straight knife tightly!
Jialan stepped out from the shattered stone wall, delivering a powerful side kick that sent the frenzied Cao Yuan flying over ten meters. He plunged the straight knife into the ground mid-air, dragging it to create a long crack to stabilize himself.
Dressed in a blue Han robe, Jialan emerged from the smoke, unblemished. She stepped forward, her delicate brows furrowing as she looked at Cao Yuan with a displeased gaze, seemingly provoked.
She extended her hand, beckoning to the frenzied Cao Yuan, “…Come!”
Bang—!!
Both of them exerted force with their feet, shattering the stone slabs beneath them, their figures moving so fast that they left afterimages in the air, crashing into each other with a thunderous sound!
Meanwhile, Bai Li Pangpang finally managed to poke his head above the lake’s surface, gasping for fresh air.
Suddenly, his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the violent scene of two humanoid beasts battling on the shore, and his expression froze. “Holy mother… Is this girl that fierce?!”
Splash…
A boat glided lightly to his side, and Bai Li Pangpang looked up in shock, seeing a beautiful woman standing at the bow, her hollow gaze fixed on him floating on the lake. “They all deserve to die… The Ancient God Church deserves to die… If it weren’t for you… Captain Han wouldn’t have left…” Her lips parted, and indistinct words spilled from her throat.
She reached behind her and pulled out a suona, slowly bringing it to her lips…
Bai Li Pangpang: …Damn, this is outrageous!!
Fortunately, I was prepared!
Bai Li Pangpang suddenly reached out a hand, grasping in mid-air. A dull thud echoed from beneath the water, followed by a blinding flash of light erupting from the center of the boat, shooting into the sky!
The bow of the boat shook violently, and the beautiful woman’s figure swayed, nearly falling into the water. Bai Li Pangpang reacted quickly, and [Yaoguang] instantly knocked the suona from her hands!
Then, the entire boat split in half, water surged over the bow, dragging all the instruments into the depths of the lake, and the woman lost control, falling into the water. “I just spent so long underwater, I didn’t do nothing…” Bai Li Pangpang stood on [Yaoguang], pulling it up from the water.
Then he took out the [Sealing Scroll] from his pocket, blocking the woman’s mouth while starting to bind her body…
