Chapter 570 - 568: Entanglement
CHAPTER 570: CHAPTER 568: ENTANGLEMENT
Its back seemed to have grown eyes, as a Mutant Bull was accurately thrown over by a black gorilla, and the Tang Blade plunged into the bull’s neck.
Having killed only a single Mutant Bull, Su Mo took a few steps to run over and pull out the knife, while on Lu Chen’s side, two people had the white lion trapped in the middle.
Its mouth suddenly opened wide, and invisible Space Blades were flung out.
Apart from Su Mo’s eye-related superpower, no one could see those Space Blades. Lu Chen and Lu Jin could only dodge based on their sense of environmental danger.
Su Mo gritted her teeth, clutched the knife, and with her right hand formed a shield, charging forward once again.
Above the city walls, Zhao Changsheng noticed something amiss on their side. In the dark night sky, dense thunderclouds gathered, with six bolts of Thunder striking down towards the white lion.
But its spatial rift seemed to accommodate everything, as the Thunder that should have struck its head appeared in another direction amongst the herd.
A lion adept at utilizing its abilities was terrifying indeed.
Su Mo dodged several Space Blades it shot at her, using her Light as a Feather ability to leap up, and her Tang Blade came down once more. That tail had a built-in killing feature, aiming straight for her chest.
Su Mo immediately dodged to the side, and a Level 6 Zombie took this opportunity to open its gaping mouth towards the white lion, attempting to bite it. The lion gave up on pursuing Lu Chen and the other, and turned to swipe at the zombie’s face with a claw.
The massive head of the zombie split into pieces following the mark of that claw, instantly killed.
Su Mo instinctively shouted, "Yang Yichu!"
Lu Chen and Lu Jin both noticed the giant bat that had taken flight behind her.
Its sharp fangs were about to plunge into the top of Su Mo’s head, but Lu Chen’s Ice Giant Sword was hurled directly into the bat’s body.
Lu Jin wanted to come over and pull Su Mo away, but the white lion appeared out of nowhere, trying to bite Su Mo’s thigh. Instead, he quickly pushed her aside.
The gaping maw instead bit down on his leg.
Immediately, Su Mo’s Tang Blade swung around decapitating the giant bat behind her.
The pain in his leg didn’t elicit a sound from Lu Jin. In fact, at the same time, he launched another Spatial Strangulation attack, which this time seemed to be somewhat effective.
At such a moment, Su Mo couldn’t just stand by indifferently. She only had a complex look in her eyes as she maximized the power in her right hand spindle, causing it to surge nearly a meter in length as she attacked the white lion.
The white lion, reluctant to let go of the flesh in its mouth, even clamped down tighter with its teeth. Lu Jin could hear the sound of his thigh bone being pierced. His complexion turned pale, but his superpower in his hand didn’t stop for a second.
Taking advantage of the situation, Lu Chen launched Cold Ice Barbs, instantly piercing the white lion’s thigh.
Su Mo’s spindle arrived, directly penetrating the thick tail and fiercely tossing the severed tail away.
"Roar!!"
The pain caused the white lion to finally let go. However, the surrounding Beast Tide, as if responding to some call, turned away from attacking the walls and all converged on the three individuals.
Rong Bai’s hands, clenching the armrest, had turned white as he immediately bellowed, "Open the gates! Go support them! Go support them!"
The retreat of the Mutant Beast Tide caught everyone off guard, but with the leaders of both factions deeply engulfed in the tide, the camp gates were thrown open, and all the superpower users teamed up and rushed out.
Jianxiong tossed aside the dead Mutant Wolf in his hand, gulped down a mouthful of Jasmine Tea, and ran full force toward the trio.
Standing atop the city wall, Yang Yichu’s spiritual power took a heavy hit with the death of the Level 6 Zombie, but it didn’t rest, and its superpower even directly surged tenfold before plummeting down from the wall and kneeling on the ground.
The sheer terror of such power made the surrounding mutant beasts unconsciously steer clear of it.
Su Mo and her party were utterly engulfed in the Beast Tide. She had no choice but to take out the pumpkin stored in her System Bag and, after sharing it with Lu Chen, glanced at Lu Jin, whose thigh was bleeding profusely, and passed it over, "Eat this if you don’t want to die."
Lu Jin looked at her deeply and eventually ate what was on the plate, his mind shaking with the notification that rang in his head.
Su Mo didn’t care about his expression but noted that when the White Lion attacked them this time, it crashed directly onto the solid Pumpkin Protection Shield.
Unsurprised, Su Mo just gripped the Tang Blade once more and charged at the White Lion again.
Yang Yichu’s Spiritual Threads ensnared a black chimpanzee, forcibly taking over its body and charging it at the White Lion.
The chimp’s surprisingly human-like palm unexpectedly strangled the neck of the White Lion, whose beastly pupils showed a distinctly human shock.
Lu Chen’s Ice Giant Sword stabbed directly through its abdomen.
"Roar!"
All the mutant beasts, as if mad, swarmed them so tightly that the trio had to huddle together, with the White Lion now out of sight, hiding in the horde.
Yang Yichu precisely locked onto that lion, and a copious amount of spiritual power started coiling around it, the piercing shriek sounding like a demonic chant with tremendous oppressive force.
It, the Zombie King close to Level 9, radiated a pressure that made the White Lion feel an unparalleled crisis.
A zombie and a lion, instantly tangled together in combat.
Jianxiong charged into the Beast Tide single-handedly, his giant-like stature exceptionally conspicuous among the four-limbed creatures, so when Li He climbed atop the wall, at a glance, he spotted him and the wounds on his arm.
Li He reached into the air towards him, and a dazzling orb of light appeared on Jianxiong’s arm, Rong Bai watching in shock as the long-distance Healing unfolded before his eyes for the first time.
Jianxiong also felt the warm sensation of the faintly tingling wounds being healed. Without looking back, he plowed into Su Mo’s protective circle, carving a bloody path clear through.
Zhao Changsheng and Li Qian followed close behind, her Thunder Whip extending and generating massive currents of electricity with each movement, while Li Qian’s spiritual power disrupted several mutant beasts, instantly killing them in the blink of an eye.
Following in their wake were hundreds of superpower users from both factions, confronting the Beast Tide with a myriad of colorful powers.
The White Lion, badly injured, was bitten around the neck by Yang Yichu, who, like a beast, plunged its sharp teeth deep into the lion’s thick fur and emotionlessly crammed a torn piece of flesh into its mouth.
One of its hands, bitten into two by the White Lion, dangled as Su Mo and her teammates fought their way out. What they saw was the ghastly scene of mutual cannibalism.
The sight of Yang Yichu’s severed limb, along with the vast swathe of flesh torn from its chest, made her blood race up, her trembling hands uncontrollable, her eyes turning a crimson red as her body suddenly erupted in a burst of golden light.
