Chapter 167 - 126: Death, Like Water Disappearing into Water (6000 words) _1
"Charge, charge, charge!"
"Heh-heh, these three pretty boys look pretty loaded!"
"After we rob them, maybe we can gather a small fortune, find a mountain, and build a village, marry a few more wives!"
The second and third brothers among the bandits flanked on the left and right, one sleazy and one teasing.
Their power was both great and lacking.
The ’Giant Earth Serpent’ of the Clay Body Perfection level was a Fond Spirit of the Savage, with an enormous body capable of carrying heavy weights.
Its signature Skill, ’Slam Tail’, with a Chaos Spirit Pattern of 70-75, would create a crater every time its long tail swept across the ground.
The other one was a ’Mud Frog’, not the regular gray one, but a mildly mutated black one.
It excelled in bouncing and could spit out mud saliva. As the Fond Spirit of Demons, it had reached the level of Clay Body Perfection and was half agile and half long-range.
"Meow!!"
The two bandit underlings on the flanks were there only to prevent their prey from escaping.
The leading big brother, the bandit leader, riding on the back of a Digging Cat Demon, covered a distance of 500 meters in a single breath, closing in quickly.
—He was not a first-level Patron.
’Digging Cat Demons’ of the Clay Body level couldn’t run fast with a human on their backs. Only after achieving Ascending Rainbow Light could they cope freely.
Moreover, it wasn’t at Rainbow Light Void Extraction, but had broken through to Rainbow Light Small Achievement not long ago!
With such power, if he were careful, he would indeed be eligible to plunder and rob at the Yellow Mud Swamp.
"You two, step back."
Ye Hanjun took a step forward, passing his two disciples, and sped out of the cave entrance.
As his wrist marks glowed, the Sandstorm Witch・Huazhu appeared behind him.
"Ssssss!"
A Heavenly Sand Shield accurately appeared in front of him.
The Digging Cat Demon, which was nearly upon him and about to tear its prey apart with its claws, hadn’t expected a foreign object to appear out of thin air.
Its oval head hit the shield solidly.
A crackling sound was heard as a large crack appeared at the center of the sand shield, almost completely shattered.
The unprepared Digging Cat Demon fell briefly into a daze after the impact, and its sprint suddenly slowed.
"Whoosh!"
Ye Hanjun swiftly rolled to the right, as light as a swallow.
The crisis was not only from the Digging Cat Demon. The bandit leader, who was controlling the ’Hand of Snatch’ from behind, was also not to be underestimated.
However, the usually unbeatable Active Skill, for once, failed.
It was just about 10 cm off, unable to touch Ye Hanjun’s waist. He had "luckily" dodged it.
"Tch!"
A fierce expression crossed the bandit leader’s face. He reached out again for a second grab.
But at that moment, out of the corner of his eye, he finally saw the small figure only 1.3 meters tall.
The black wizard hat slowly lifted up, revealing a young face with an impressive look, like a work of art carved by the heavens.
Even as a battle-hardened warrior, the bandit leader momentarily forgot what he was doing, his grasping hand slowing for a moment. Most of his attention shifted from Ye Hanjun to Huazhu.
Witch?
A female witch??
Is this a Fond Spirit of the Witch Clan???
These three questions resonated in his spiritual world as if a bell was tolling.
Ye Hanjun, who had extended the distance to 20 meters, suddenly spun around, with an indifferent, ruthless look in his dark eyes.
It seemed that at that moment, he was no longer the prey, but the hunter.
"Pff!"
Somewhere along the way, a red ring adorned his finger shot out dazzling red light.
This light was too fast and too glaring. The bandit leader turned his head to the side and instinctively blinked to dodge.
But—Ye Hanjun’s target was not him at all!
"Pff!"
The red light transformed into a spear, shooting into the eye socket of the Digging Cat Demon.
’Bang!’, one of its eyes was shattered, much like a raw egg being crushed.
Its face twisted horribly in an instant of intense pain. As it opened its mouth, a three-meter high column of blood spurted out.
"Ssssss!"
In a blink of an eye, hovering Huazhu rushed to the bandit leader’s face.
Her golden eyes, neither sad nor joyful, glanced at the bandit leader. Turning around again, the scorpion tail on her back whipped like an iron flail, like a gust of wind sweeping into the eye socket of the Digging Cat Demon.
Skill—’Screeching Tail Needle’
After mutating, Huazhu was indeed somewhat different from regular members of the Witch Clan in a strict sense
Her only two physical combat skills, with the blessing of Wind Element, were swift as gales and destructive.
This made her close-quarter combat ability not much inferior to ’Gather Sand into Fist’ and ’Gather Wind into Claw’.
"Pff!"
The bandit leader spat out a mouthful of blood.
Struggling to get up, he clutched the jade pendant on his neck. A circle of emerald green mist enveloped him, and also covered the Digging Cat Demon under him.
But...it was too late!
This protective artifact, snatched from a rich young master, once activated, could not only form a strong defensive barrier but also burst out with a surge of life energy, to repair injuries within the enclosed area as much as possible.
But! The pale green mist entered the eye socket of the Digging Cat Demon, only to find it drilled back out!
It was like a lost bird, not knowing where to fly, ending up drilling into the bandit leader’s body, helping him treat his ruptured blood vessels, and replenishing the vitality he had just lost.
"No!!"
The bandit leader screamed, and the look in his eyes as he looked at the Sandstorm Witch was filled with boundless killing intent.
His gaze, as swift as lightning then fell on Ye Hanjun, and between gritted teeth, he almost spouted fire as he said:
"You! Did you kill my Fond Spirit?!"
"I’ll butcher you! I’m going to slaughter you!"
’Boom!’ The ’Hand of Snatch’ grabbed at the neck of the Sandstorm Witch, aiming to strangle her alive.
