Chapter 709
The power of that red tentacle far exceeded the White Flame Skeleton’s imagination. As it pressed down, the flames that scattered over the skeleton’s body were instantly squished back, unable to sustain.
Bang!
Instantly, the White Flame Skeleton was struck by the red tentacle, its bones scattered, crumbling into a heap of debris that fell to the ground.
This powerful attack had dealt a severe blow to the White Flame Skeleton, who struggled to rise. The flames on its skull scattered again, attempting to pick up its fallen bones, but to no avail; the white flames in the eye sockets seemed unstable.
“Is that all?”
Brain Deficient sneered coldly, then waved his hand once more, and the red tentacle immediately whirled towards another skeleton formation on the other side.
Boom!
A fierce roar was heard, and the powerful surge created by the red tentacle broke through the skeleton formation instantly!
The skeletons were blasted to pieces, their bones flying everywhere. Although they tried hard to rise and reattach their bones, countless black tentacles had already sprouted from below, wrapping up the skeletons’ bones.
Too numerous and chaotic, like a mess of weeds, these black tentacles came not just from the air but also from the ground, exploiting the chaos to climb onto the skeletons’ chests, binding their bodies securely.
Brain Deficient sneered in secret, then shifted his gaze towards Ri An and Ye Ji, who were watching the battle, thinking, “It’s your turn to make a move.”
He didn’t kill the skeletons just yet, as there was no hurry; it would at least wait until after finding a way into Shepherd City before the slaughter could begin.
By now, the skeletons had been beaten into a disorderly retreat. Most of them had their bones shattered, and some had only their skull left, faintly glowing with a weak flame.
Ri An and Ye Ji were also prepared. They knew this was the best time to strike, their bodies already illuminating with Holy Light, ready to rush out and repel the Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage with it!
However, just as they were about to act, something seemed to whoosh through the air behind them at high speed.
With their strength at the late stage of orifice transforming, Ri An and Ye Ji were extremely sensitive to the surroundings. The object approached incredibly fast, nearly hitting their necks, but they reacted in an instant, dodging to the side.
Turning to look, they saw a flash of golden patterns vanish in midair!
“What was that?” Ri An said with a slight deepening of his voice.
“Seemed like two bricks?”
Ye Ji only caught a glimpse of two bricks stuck together, appearing abruptly, disappearing again after missing its target.
This put them both on high alert, for they were both formidable experts with keen perception, yet they had no clue when the bricks had appeared behind them.
Hum!
While they pondered, another breath came from behind, as the bricks smashed towards them again!
“Child’s play!”
Ri An, seeing the two bricks reappear, wasn’t flustered as they had already made their preparations this time and wouldn’t be so easily hit.
Although she felt disdain in her heart, she was not negligent; anything that could appear so silently at their side was definitely not simple!
In the instant the bricks swept towards them, Ri An’s holy sword had already struck out, cleaving towards the brick!
The sanctity of the light faintly illuminated the surroundings, and the holy sword’s light emitted a sword aura both rigid and supple, as if it was the most righteous sword in the world, capable of destroying all the evil.
Thud!
The sacred sword struck the golden tiles in the blink of an eye!
However, the tiles were not directly shattered, nor were they even bounced off. Quite the contrary, they clung to Ri An’s sacred sword like a dogskin plaster. The golden array patterns spread out like a spider web in an instant, extending along the sacred sword towards the front!
Ri An’s originally calm and gentle expression changed slightly. She discovered that after the golden array patterns had spread onto her sacred sword, it seemed as though something had stopped it, rendering it immovable. She wanted to mobilize the power within her body to resist the golden array patterns, but she found that she couldn’t do so!
The golden array patterns gave her a very dangerous sensation!
Do not touch!
She made a decisive decision and immediately severed her sacred sword.
Whoosh!
Ri An took two steps back and looked suspiciously at the sacred sword, which had been fixed in the air onto the tile, completely clueless about what had just happened.
“What is that thing?”
Ye Ji immediately released a gentle beam of Holy Light from her body. This Holy Light was incredibly vast, rushing toward the two tiles like a long rainbow piercing the sun. Such powerful Holy Light was enough to destroy anything, and even a master in the orifice transforming phase would have to face it with all their might.
However, the tiles remained immovable as a mountain in mid-air, like a section of the Calming Sea Divine Needle in the ocean, completely unaffected by the Holy Light.
What’s more, a segment of black tentacle suddenly appeared out of thin air on the sacred sword that was fixed on the tiles, landing on the hilt. Then, the black tentacle on the handle was also covered with a layer of golden array patterns, as if this segment of golden array patterned black tentacle was controlling everything.
Then the black tentacle covered in golden array patterns twisted the hilt and the tip, pointing the tip at Ye Ji, and immediately, the sacred sword carrying the golden patterns swung towards Ye Ji!
“It’s the Demon Tentacle! What is Ji Li that bastard doing!”
Ye Ji let out a low shout!
——
Brain Deficient was not aware of what had happened between Ri An and Ye Ji. He turned his head towards that direction, where there seemed to be some faint fluctuations coming through. Brain Deficient was familiar with these fluctuations; they were indeed the auras of the two members of the Moon God Race.
He was also very calm and didn’t think too much about it.
“You shameless Ghost Whiskers of Remnant Visage! Don’t be presumptuous!”
A voice echoed in the valley!
This voice was unmistakably Ye Ji’s voice.
Her voice rolled like a tolling bell, righteous and full of conviction!
“Ready to take action, huh?”
Brain Deficient snorted coldly. Although he was very reluctant to be defeated by the two members of the Moon God Race, he had to consider the bigger picture and would temporarily cooperate later. Being defeated by Ye Ji and Ri An and then fleeing in embarrassment would be enough.
The other Ghost Mustaches of Remnant Visage, hearing this voice, also understood the intention. These Ghost Mustaches knew their mission before making their move and were aware that they had to throw the fight to let the two from the Moon God Race complete their mission.
With this in mind, the aggressiveness of all Ghost Mustaches of Remnant Visage’s tendrils diminished by a third. They planned to begin retreating as soon as the Holy Light appeared!
And indeed, at that moment, the sky suddenly lit up with beams of sacred radiance, illuminating the entire canyon, and also casting light upon each of the Ghost Mustaches of Remnant Visage. This light was extremely pure, appearing as though a Heavenly God was descending, solemn and august!
It was the Holy Light!
All the Ghost Mustaches of Remnant Visage, upon sensing the arrival of this Holy Light, knew that the two envoys of the Moon God Race were about to make their move!
