The old woman knew Chu Tian was fast, and she swung her whip, forming a protective shield.
Chu Tian tried to charge in several times but was blocked.
During one charge, his arm was accidentally brushed by the tip of the whip, and he felt a scorching, burning sensation.
An icy aura, a burning sensation – what kind of ability was this?
For a moment, Chu Tian’s pride in his speed was challenged by a porcupine.
Lin Yu and Lin Ran, still standing in their original positions, had become spectators.
“Big Brother is being beaten, Second Brother, go help!” Lin Yu pushed Lin Ran from behind.
“I… I don’t know how to fight…” Lin Ran said awkwardly.
Lin Yu slapped her forehead, speechless.
Her second brother’s martial arts skills were actually not much worse than Lin Chi’s, but he was just very timid.
When the three brothers sparred, he dared to fight, but when facing outsiders, he would cower.
If you called him timid, he was actually very interested in those terrifying and strange matters.
However, he always needed someone to accompany him.
“It seems… we don’t need to help!” Lin Ran stammered, watching the fight.
Of the four on the opposite side, the old woman was undoubtedly their captain and the strongest.
Chu Tian couldn’t even take her down for a moment.
The slipper man seemed to be no worse than her. He was currently thrashing dogs, literally.
His limbs could stretch and retract like rubber.
Lin Chi was sent flying by his kick and crashed into the wall.
However, after Lin Chi transformed, he seemed to have lost his sense of pain. The more he was hit, the more tenacious he became, charging at the slipper man like a mad dog.
On the other side, the mute man faced Jing Kaiyu. Jing Kaiyu, who could dominate Chu Tian in the ring, was also being beaten.
Another person faced Gao Kai. Gao Kai, who was originally the weakest in close-quarters combat among the three soldier brothers, was acting unusually today.
His powerful, sweeping fists rendered his opponent unable to retaliate.
These two hadn’t used any special abilities, seemingly conserving their strength.
Perhaps seeing that Gao Kai and Jing Kaiyu weren’t using their abilities, they assumed they hadn’t unleashed their full potential and remained on guard.
After Lin Ran finished speaking.
Lin Yu glanced around and said, “Second Brother, are you stupid? It looks like we’re losing, no matter how you look at it. If you don’t go, I will.”
Lin Yu flicked her wrist, and a golden needle appeared between her fingers.
Boom…
Just as she was about to make a move.
Chu Tian, who was retreating, swung his hand and grabbed at the sky.
“Damn it, you old hag, you think I don’t have long-range skills?” Chu Tian cursed in his heart.
If one looked closely now, a faint phantom of an owl could be seen behind Chu Tian.
It mimicked Chu Tian’s movement, extending its cute little wings and pointing at the moon in the sky.
Moonlight Art…
A beam of light descended from the sky, carrying the phantom of the moon, and struck the whip shadows the old woman was wielding.
After a loud noise, there was no smoke or dust, no giant waves.
Everything was so calm. The old woman stood there, still maintaining her posture of swinging her whip.
Everyone stopped their fighting and stared at the old woman.
Even Chu Tian was curious about the attacking power of this strike.
Pop…
A soft sound, like a bubble popping.
The old woman shattered in place, just like the sound, scattering and dissipating.
Including her specially made whip, which vanished before everyone’s eyes.
The slipper man and the other two instantly looked grim.
Those two glanced at Chu Tian and turned to flee.
Jing Kaiyu and Gao Kai held them back fiercely.
These two suddenly began to fight desperately. The mute man waved his hand, and segments of ice spikes shot towards Jing Kaiyu.
Jing Kaiyu hadn’t expected the opponent to suddenly pull such a move. He twisted and leaped, dodging the incoming ice spikes.
But there were too many. One ice spike shot directly towards his heart.
He had no choice but to block it with his palm.
*Pfft…*
The ice spike pierced his palm and got stuck.
Blood and muscle instantly froze.
Jing Kaiyu’s face changed drastically.
Seeing this, Chu Tian flashed to the mute man’s side and slapped him on the head.
The mute man reacted quickly. With a glance, an ice shield reappeared.
*Crack… bang…*
The ice shield shattered, offering no resistance at all.
His head made intimate contact with Chu Tian’s palm.
His head exploded like a watermelon.
With this strike, although Chu Tian was in leopard form, he had equipped a god-tier weapon in the game.
Thus, his strength had nearly doubled. With one heavy blow, the opponent flew off as a headless corpse.
The body rolled a good distance on the ground before stopping.
However, Chu Tian’s body swayed.
A sharp pain echoed in his mind. He realized then that his soul power had weakened to the point where it was imperceptible.
Conversely, the little bean sprout within his body showed no abnormal reaction.
Could it be that the Moonlight Art strike just now primarily consumed soul power?
Could it be that the ‘Neng Mao Ren’ ability, when used in reality, was a soul technique?
This thought flashed through his mind.
At this moment, he couldn’t afford to think too much.
Over there, the slipper man, after forcing Lin Chi back, retreated and prepared to escape.
Chu Tian naturally couldn’t let him escape. Seeing that Gao Kai didn’t need his help, he got up and pursued the slipper man.
As he passed the entrance of [の], he glanced inside and saw a fleeting shadow darting in.
He hesitated for a moment, then turned back and shouted, “Lin Ran, help me catch her, thanks!”
He had previously learned that Lin Ran primarily studied Taoist magic and Qimen, and was very experienced in ghost-catching and exorcism.
Lin Ran was startled when Chu Tian called him, but he immediately understood what was meant and replied, “Ten thousand less, and this won’t work!”
“I…” Chu Tian, who was running, stumbled. He hadn’t expected the usually quiet Lin Ran to say something like this at this moment.
But Chu Tian still turned back and said, “No problem…”
Afterward, he turned and continued chasing the slipper man. This person’s arms and legs were like springs, taking an unconventional path, and in just a few leaps, he reached the rooftop.
Chu Tian had been locking onto him with his divine sense. Pursuing him on the ground, he didn’t believe the man could stay up there forever.
“Ten thousand? How much will you give me?” Lin Yu interjected from the side.
“Ten thousand is for myself!” Lin Ran said earnestly.
“Then you go by yourself!” Lin Yu rolled her eyes at him.
“I’m not going, I’m afraid, I’m scared!” Lin Ran still said earnestly.
“Then it’ll be twenty thousand, and I’ll go with you!” Lin Yu eyed him.
“Okay, well, this matter won’t work without twenty thousand!”
At this point, Chu Tian was long gone from sight. He said this again.
“What are you two dawdling about? In another moment, even ten thousand will be gone!” Lin Chi, rubbing his swollen face, said to the two jesters.
“Oh!” Lin Ran took out a yellow paper from his pocket and began folding it as he walked towards the already dilapidated shop: [の].
