Chapter 401: You Look Really Good
At the moment when the snake eyes met those crimson red eyes, a gray light flickered across the face hidden beneath Cao Yuan’s mask, and his skin began to petrify at a visibly rapid pace!
“Old Cao!!”
Baili Pangpang shouted loudly, without a second thought, he raised the 【Wind and Thunder Scroll】 broom in his hand and swept it forward, the raging wind simultaneously engulfing the two figures.
The snake woman’s form swayed and reappeared on a nearby snake eye, while Cao Yuan was directly blown away for more than ten meters, crashing through a large floor-to-ceiling window on the twenty-second floor and falling down.
Baili Pangpang’s mouth twitched slightly.
“Old Cao… this, this can’t be blamed on me!” he muttered.
The snake woman’s dual pupils turned to Baili Pangpang, seemingly displeased that he had interrupted her petrification process. The strange snake eyes beneath her feet spread like a tide, quickly covering the entire space once again.
“Baili family’s little fatty.” The snake woman licked the corner of her mouth with her crimson tongue, her eyes narrowing slightly, “Do you know how much your head is worth now?”
Baili Pangpang’s body trembled, “Who? Who is the little fatty of the Baili family? You must have mistaken me for someone else! I am Marshal Tianpeng!”
Snake Woman: …
The snake woman sneered, “Whether it’s Baili Tuming or Zhu Bajie… anyway, you all have to die here today!”
The snake woman’s figure flashed again, and without thinking, Baili Pangpang closed his eyes and wildly swung the 【Wind and Thunder Scroll】 broom behind him, then to his side, completely flailing without any method.
“Don’t look at the eyes, don’t look at the eyes, don’t look at the eyes…”
The violent hurricane mixed with thunder raged in every corner of the space, and the snake woman’s figure flickered, her expression darkening.
It was unclear whether this fatty was intentional or not; he had completely abandoned all judgment and tactics, blindly swinging with his eyes closed, but the fact proved… it was indeed effective.
Without any method, the snake woman naturally could not predict his movements and dared not easily appear near him. After all, no one knew where this fatty would swing next. Although the 【Wind and Thunder Scroll】 was not particularly terrifying, it was still not pleasant for a weakly defended agent like the snake woman to take a hit.
Baili Pangpang’s actions truly illustrated what it meant to have no moves surpassing those with moves.
Molly leaned against the wall, coughing violently, as the wind swept past the corner, blowing her long hair wildly.
She slightly turned her head, braving the wind from the corner to look at the center of the battlefield, only to see Baili Pangpang blindly flailing around with his eyes closed, while the snake woman’s figure tested a few positions, disappearing into thin air.
Molly was momentarily stunned.
In the next moment, a chill suddenly came from in front of her!
She turned her head sharply, only to see the snake woman with black curly hair swaying in the wind, holding a hiltless blade, having appeared before her at some point, her enchanting vertical pupils revealing a cunning smile.
Puff!
Molly felt a sharp pain in her abdomen as the blade’s edge pierced into her body, an unprecedented agony sweeping through her mind, and crimson blood began to seep from beneath her clothes.
“While that little fatty is going crazy, killing you first… seems like a good choice.” The snake woman’s lips curled into a cold arc.
One hand gripping the hiltless blade, the other pressing firmly on her head, the snake woman leaned in closer, her eyes inching toward Molly’s…
Under the invasion of excruciating pain, Molly nearly lost her sanity, uncontrollably lifting her head, about to meet the snake woman’s gaze.
Whoosh——!
Just as she was about to begin petrifying Molly, an arrow flew precisely past her eyes, instantly severing the connection between the two, while the white feather at the arrow’s tail brushed against the snake woman’s eye!
“Ah!!”
The snake woman exclaimed, abruptly closing her right eye, her brows furrowing tightly as she turned her head sharply to look.
There stood Jialan not far away, dressed in a loose blue robe, holding a light yellow hard wood bow, quickly nocking a second arrow onto the bowstring, her eyes filled with calmness.
She relaxed her fingers, and the arrow instantly left a trail in the air, shooting straight toward the snake woman’s face!
However, the arrow had barely traveled halfway when the snake woman’s figure vanished without a trace.
Jialan bit her silver teeth, quickly turning around, her right hand lowering the third arrow she was about to nock, instead gripping the hard wood bow with both hands and swinging it forcefully like a long knife!
Slash——!
In an instant, a hiltless blade struck the surface of the hard wood bow, easily slicing a gap in the bow that had lost its 【Immortal】 protective property.
The snake woman showed no signs of stopping, her eyes filled with anger, the hiltless blade swinging out at an even faster speed, repeatedly striking at the gap in the bow, rapidly enlarging it.
It was unclear what material the hard wood bow was made of, but it withstood four strikes from the hiltless blade. Only when the fifth strike came down did it finally break in half!
Crack——!
The bowstring snapped, the long bow was damaged, and Jialan, holding the half bow, pressed her lips together, retreating several steps.
She looked down at her hands; her originally fair palms were now bloodied from the snapped bowstring, blood dripping from the half bow onto the ground…
She was injured.
She gazed at the half bow, her eyes slightly reddening. This hard wood long bow, which she had received from her mother and had accompanied her for over three thousand years, had ultimately been shattered into pieces.
Seeing this scene, the snake woman’s face lit up with excitement.
“Yes, that expression… that expression is just wonderful!!” A flush appeared on her cheeks, and she was utterly thrilled.
Jialan tightly gripped the half bow, suddenly raising her head, preparing to retract the 【Immortal】 property attached to Qin Kai.
Although doing so would worsen his injuries, even leading to death, if she didn’t, they would all die here!
At that moment, a blue light suddenly burst forth from the hilt of the straight knife strapped to her back, followed by a warm body pressing against her back.
She turned in shock, only to see the swaying Lin Qiye hugging her from behind…
To be precise, he was hugging the straight knife.
Under the mental pollution, Lin Qiye, with a hazy consciousness, had nearly all his weight pressed onto Jialan, causing her to lose her balance and stumble forward, crashing into the solid wall.
“What… are you doing?!”
She turned around in embarrassment and anger, opening her lips as if to question Lin Qiye, but upon seeing his face flushed as if drunk, she froze in place.
Lin Qiye shook his head, one hand propping against the wall behind Jialan, slowly lifting his head, his dazed eyes meeting Jialan’s gaze.
“…Hmm?”
Lin Qiye was momentarily slow to react.
“It’s Jialan…” Lin Qiye squinted, carefully observing Jialan’s face, and after a while, slowly uttered the second half of his sentence…
“You look… really beautiful.”
