699: Chapter Four Hundred and Thirty-Five: A Total Loss 699: Chapter Four Hundred and Thirty-Five: A Total Loss “Am I too late…”
Luo Bingli’s gaze swept across the ground covered in mycelium, over the monster looking up at her, and finally settled on the corpse of the woman with the last na Fu.
Before this, she didn’t know her, only having heard the woman’s na ntioned in passing at certain events.
A woman of easy virtue.
But now, as Luo Bingli stared at the other’s tragically mutilated corpse for a few monts, she couldn’t help but let out a soft sigh.
Every great calamity that falls upon the world is a slow and gradual process, sotis taking a decade, other tis taking several, to escalate into an unstoppable disaster.
As a cultivator who had achieved Mortal Transcendence, this woman with the last na Fu could have chosen, like the fat man with the last na Zhou, to play it safe and continue enjoying everything her power offered her.
Yet in this era with armies and formations, as an absolute higher-up within the sects, they weren’t required to stand on the front lines of catastrophe like in ancient tis, but she still chose to fight to her death here.
Now the old man with the last na Tian has died, the woman with the last na Fu has also died, and Taishiran, who stayed behind to delay Lou Ji, is most likely going to perish as well.
Out of the five that ca, three have left.
They responded to the calamity, yet perished as easily as the feathers of a swan…
Emotions welled up, but Luo Bingli didn’t have ti to lant for those who had passed, because the monster had appeared before her without warning.
Without any hesitation, it slamd a palm toward her face.
Watching this sudden turn of events, Luo Bingli even had the capacity to consider other things in the brief mont before the palm strike hit.
She thought of the corpse of the woman with the last na Fu, her skull crushed by five fingers.
It seems she died to this move.
The monster’s mastery of this secret technique that allowed instant movent without any trace of Energy chanism, combined with the strange energy swirling around its body, would likely allow it to perform a perfect surprise kill on most who have achieved Mortal Transcendence.
Her thoughts flickered; as the opponent’s palm grew larger in her vision, Luo Bingli made no move to dodge.
She slightly raised her own palm, reacting after the attack but striking first, and directly grasped the wrist of the oncoming hand.
She exerted force in an instant, and the strong pressure caused Xu Yuan’s wrist to emit a cracking sound.
But at that mont, Xu Yuan’s physical strength was no longer weak as it had been during Soul Condensation, and he burst forth with a force not inferior to Luo Bingli’s.
After a brief struggle, a look of understanding flashed through Luo Bingli’s eyes, as if she had gained the information she sought.
Then, with a sudden change in technique, she leaned slightly, pulled at Xu Yuan’s wrist at an odd angle, and instantly offloaded the trendous force on it!
Xu Yuan’s whole body, driven by the strong inertia, plunged forward, and imdiately, Luo Bingli yanked his wrist, swinging him through the air like a toy.
Xu Yuan tried to stop his body mid-air, but it was in vain.
The strong inertia and Luo Bingli’s force on his wrist left him no chance to resist.
In the silent, fog-shrouded space, a tooth-grating swooshing sound was heard, followed imdiately by a thunderous boom of flesh hitting the ground.
Luo Bingli had smashed the abruptly attacking Xu Yuan back onto the ground.
However, having gained the upper hand, Luo Bingli didn’t choose to pursue her advantage but stood her ground, looking at her right hand which had just made contact with her opponent.
Long fingers, distinct knuckles, radiating an unbearable brilliance.
Under her gaze,
“Bang!”
A muffled noise sounded, and this hand exploded without warning.
Viewing this eerie scene, Luo Bingli’s beautiful eyes remained calm, as if she had anticipated this.
The information transmitted by the woman with the last na Fu had ntioned that the monster was indeed surrounded by a thin film capable of reversing and decomposing Origin Qi spellcraft.
But now it seed that the film could even directly decompose her body, which had completely transford into an energy state.
With this thought, Luo Bingli’s body surged with Energy chanism, and the right hand that had been blasted away regrouped in an instant as her gaze fell upon the center of the rising dust cloud.
This strange film was a natural counter for her; unless she could break through it, killing the opponent was nothing but a fool’s dream.
However, the clash just now allowed her to probe a bit more.
The opponent’s speed and strength weren’t particularly strong; compared with a Martial Cultivator, they were only about on par with soone just beginning Mortal Transcendence.
Also, the opponent’s physical body was peculiar, as if it had reached this strength by borrowing so external assistance…
“You…
not…
tasty.”
As she pondered, a dreamlike voice suddenly ca from the dust below.
Hearing this sudden speech, Luo Bingli’s brows knit together instantly, and her eyes shining with divine light pierced through the smoke below to observe the man slowly rising from the ground.
Xu Yuan stared at her with his hollow, dark eyes and uttered three words:
“You…
go…
away.”
“….”
Without responding, Luo Bingli’s eyes for the first ti showed seriousness.
The strongest of beasts is but an animal to be slaughtered, yet Xu Changtian now had started speaking.
This was good news, but also bad news.
The opponent must retain so intelligence, at least the intelligence to seek advantage and avoid harm.
Yet at the sa ti, by observing the subtle, one can understand the profound.
If the opponent understood to seek advantage and avoid harm, yet still chose to use words to dissuade her, it ant that there was indeed sothing about her that could threaten the opponent.
What was it that could threaten him now?
“……”
In an instant, Luo Bingli thought of many things.
One idea after another flashed through her mind, only to be dismissed just as quickly.
