CHAPTER 455: CHAPTER 455: LOOK STRAIGHT AT ME

"Gaffield, run!"

In the sky, the once alluring and graceful woman was now beaten beyond recognition, her face covered in bruises and swelling, her body bearing no inch of unmarred flesh, as if subjected to a brutal torture, filled with gaping wounds like the open mouths of infants.

She let out a mournful warning cry towards her {Master}, struggling to turn her body midair, attempting to flee in the opposite direction.

However, before she could act, a ghostly shadow appeared in the air without warning, seizing her ankle.

"Offend me and think you can escape?!"

Like wielding a mighty axe, Zhu Haomiao grinned menacingly, gathering his {Strength}, stretching his body, akin to a longbow drawn to its fullest, dragging the enemy with a momentum to shatter the earth as they tore through the sky.

Woo~

The "human-shaped weapon" in his hand arched up a shrill sound as it cut through the air, pouring all the violent power without reservation into the enemy’s body, much like a falling {Meteor} crashing headfirst into the courtyard.

Boom!

Instantly, with the point of impact as the center, the firm ground seemed like a liquid lake, rippling with "waves" several meters high.

Everything in the "wave’s" path was leveled to the ground, a large amount of earth expanding with the "splash," creating a massive radial pit at the center.

At the center of the pit, lay the woman with limbs twisted and deformed, embedded in the loose soil, black blood mixed with bits of internal organs gushing from her mouth, her vacant eyes staring at the night sky.

Then, a handsome face appeared in her vision, her dazed mind slowly regaining awareness, a deep fear emerging from the depths of her pupils.

One foot stepped on her chest, Zhu Haomiao’s body leaned slightly forward, bowing his head, gazing intently into her eyes.

Meeting those boundless black pupils, the woman’s eyes slowly lost focus, as though establishing a spiritual bond with some unspeakable monstrous terror, her expression grew increasingly hideous, twisted, painful...

"No! No! No!"

The survival instinct erupted, the woman with twisted limbs frantically shook her head to break the eye contact, her body arching high like a giant shrimp, trying to escape the black-clad boy’s stomp.

However, on the other side, Zhu Haomiao mercilessly stomped down, thrusting the woman back into the earth.

Crunch crunch~

The ribs let out a weary groan under the unbearable pressure, the black-clad boy’s upper body drooping ever lower, his dark, twisted pupils staring deeply into the woman’s face.

"Look at me, you bastard."

The immense pressure compressed the chest cavity, the viscous black blood mixed with fragments of organs surged from her mouth, the woman struggled in agony, faintly feeling herself like an egg under a heavy hammer, seemingly on the verge of breaking.

Not only were her chest cavity ribs about to fracture, but something more important, more precious...

Her confidence, her pride, her dignity, her Dao Heart, all were trampled under the black-clad boy’s feet, being ground to powder bit by bit.

On the other hand, sensing the enemy’s Spirit Shell had cracked open a seam, faintly catching the scent of that delectable sweet sin, Zhu Haomiao’s mouth involuntarily curled into a maniacal grin.

What a plump {Fruit}!

It wasn’t in vain breaking the shell with such an effort, such a luscious and juicy blood food, it would be too wasteful to simply kill it!

The cold sword back pressed against the woman’s face, Zhu Haomiao slightly exerted force with his wrist, forcing her to turn her head, to meet his gaze.

But just as the dark vortex appeared in Zhu Haomiao’s eyes, preparing to crush the enemy’s Spirit Shell and savor her soft, delectable essence of sin, a cry echoed beside him.

"Lova!"

Not far away, the blond youth roared, unhesitatingly lifting his arm, channeling all his magic into the spell.

Instantly, an abstract wolf head silhouette emerged on his skin, the massive magic swaying the Laws of the universe, flooding into the dying woman’s body like a torrential flood.

"Roar ow ow ah!!"

The distorted limbs snapped back into place, broken bones rapidly mending and growing stronger.

Endless Life Force surged within the woman’s body, her once fair and delicate skin sprouting countless gray-black hairs with a metallic sheen, her alluring features swiftly morphing and writhing, transforming from human shape into a rabid, bloodthirsty {Werewolf} in the blink of an eye.

Watching the writhing, howling enemy beneath his feet, sensing the opponent’s rapidly expanding {Strength}, Zhu Haomiao’s eyebrows slightly raised, sneering in disdain.

"Meaningless struggle..."

Then, the black-clad youth slowly raised the Eight-sided Han Sword, infusing it with {True Qi} without reservation, the sword’s blade emanating a menacing gleam.

{Armor Breaking Force·Triumph}!

Powerful energy condensed at the sword’s edge into a thin stream of light, like a cicada’s wing, and with a flash of the sword light, the werewolf’s limbs silently detached, the severed surfaces smooth as mirrors, only to be covered by gushing blood after a full two seconds.

The limbs felt a chill, then overwhelming pain surged into the brain, the werewolf, now reduced to a mere stump at Zhu Haomiao’s feet, frantically wriggling and howling like a bloated maggot.

Shii~

{Heavenly Gang Power·Imprisonment Formation}!

He plunged the sword into the werewolf’s chest, the sword edge piercing from the front chest through to the back, imbued with immense Qi Force bound to the Eight-sided Han Sword, pinning her to the ground like a mountain.

Then, Zhu Haomiao turned to the blond youth, weakened after using his spell command, coldly curling his lips.

Biting cold chilled the spirit, and before the blond youth could react, the black-clad boy in his sight suddenly disappeared, appearing at his side without a trace of sound or spatial ripple, as if he’d been standing there all along, quietly watching him.

Damn!

Instinctively raising the Red Ruby Wand, but before the blond youth could activate a magic technique, a hand chop struck the back of his neck.

Clang~

A passive defensive magic triggered, a gem on the youth’s body silently shattered, a thick translucent crystalline barrier manifesting on the surface.

The hand chop emitted a crisp metallic clang, Zhu Haomiao’s expression unchanged, merely activated a change in {True Qi}, unleashing power from his hand.

{Penetration Energy·Thunderbolt}!

The hand slightly quivered, an invisible ripple pierced through the barrier, blasting into the blond youth’s hindbrain.

His brain was shaken into mush by the penetrating power, the blond youth’s pupils instantly dilated, collapsing to the ground like a mound of mud.

Casually taking the Red Ruby Wand from his hand, Zhu Haomiao glanced around, looking towards Abe Waka nearby.

"A good thing, don’t you want it?"

Hearing the black-clad boy’s inquiry, Abe Waka shook his head with a complex expression.

"The treasures of the Secret Cultivation Association don’t suit an Onmyoji like us..."

"Then I’ll eat it."

"Huh?"

Before understanding Zhu Haomiao’s meaning, a menacing dragon snake as thick as a barrel emerged from behind him, engulfing the Red Ruby Wand in its mouth, happily chewing.

Crunch crunch~

The world’s most durable magical metal crunched like crispy biscuits in the snake’s mouth, swiftly chewed up and swallowed.
