Chapter 509: Chapter 254: First Team Fight, Each Unleashes Their Divine Powers

"Then..."

Snake’s eyes darted around before landing on Ye.

Ye looked helplessly at Xi’er.

Xi’er looked at Jun Buxiao.

Jun Buxiao looked at Situ Yong.

Situ Yong froze. "What are you all looking at me for?"

Xi’er replied, "Well, you’re the respected elder here, aren’t you?"

This moment highlighted the importance of a leader in a team. With Zheng Xiu and the Orange Cat having mysteriously disappeared, the "vice squad" was like a dragon without a head. Faced with such a foul creature, they were at a loss for what to do.

Whether their opponent was a vicious master thief from Jiangnan, a savage brigand, or even an entire army, as long as it looked Human, they wouldn’t have hesitated. They would have just killed it. But faced with such a ferocious behemoth, everyone was stumped.

Situ Yong sighed softly. With a flick of his wrist, two sabers appeared in his hands.

"Fine. Let’s just deal with what’s in front of us. No matter what kind of abomination it is, we just have to cut it down. Ahem, Medical Compassion... I am saving people."

With that, Situ Yong resolutely walked toward the monster, one step at a time.

"Heh..." Situ Yong’s words made Ye smile faintly. She held a reed leaf between her lips, and a Melody began to echo in the night sky.

At first, the Melody was graceful and elegant. As the others listened, it felt like a cool breeze had arrived, gently soothing their anxiety and unease. In just a few breaths, everyone had calmed down completely, the earlier panic gone from their faces.

Situ Yong let out a soft "Hmm?", looking thoughtfully at the woman on the eaves who, playing the reed leaf, resembled a dancing fairy.

Ye smiled. The Melody paused, and in an instant, the elegant tune transformed, becoming as sudden as a downpour, as sharp as a blade. Everyone felt as if they had been plunged onto a battlefield of clashing metal and charging steeds. The tragic yet stirring Melody made their calm hearts suddenly surge, filling them with a battle lust that demanded release.

"Whoa!"

Jun Buxiao swung his scissors, feeling his body surge with strength. He gave Ye a thumbs-up and praised, "What a great tune!"

Ye smiled faintly. "It’s just a minor trick."

Snake felt different. Her glowing, slitted pupils were as cold and sharp as a jungle predator’s. She asked her sister curiously, "Sister, why have I never heard you play this song before?"

Ye shook her head and explained in a low voice to her younger sister, "This piece is called Ambush from All Sides. Those who hear it will feel infinite battle intent, but it comes at the cost of overdrafting the caster’s vital energy. Afterward, I’ll be completely exhausted. I wouldn’t play it unless absolutely necessary. Moreover, the simpler-minded or more foolish a person is, the more deeply they are affected by the Magic, and they’ll develop the delusion that they’re invincible..."

"Insolence!"

Before Ye could finish, a furious roar interrupted her.

Mo Kuang, his face a mess of tears and snot, held a book in his hands. A crazed look on his face, he laughed at the sky. "What paltry demon dares to show off its tricks before me!"

Characters floated out from the book, transforming into a golden light that blew apart Mo Kuang’s tied-up hair.

Mo Kuang began to mutter an incantation, starting a long chant:

"The Heaven and Earth are clear, the universe is vast and righteous. Though injustice exists in the mortal realm, righteous qi endures forever..."

The golden light surrounding the book grew brighter and brighter.

It was the Song of the Vast Righteous Qi!

It was the longest piece in Mo Kuang’s handwritten manuscript.

Ye and Snake looked at each other in bewilderment.

Spurred on by Ye’s "Ambush from All Sides" and in their leaderless state, the Disaster Prevention Bureau’s small team finally got into the zone. Each unleashed their Miracle Technique, confronting the unknown evil from the Darkness.

"Everyone, I’m off!"

Situ Yong’s heart surged with heroic spirit. Inspired by the Melody, he felt as if he were eighteen again, fifty years younger. The Elder Divine Doctor kicked off with both legs. His deeply bent knees gave out two sharp CRACKS, like bones breaking. But at that moment, the Elder Divine Doctor had completely forgotten the pain, his old age, and his osteoporosis. He flipped in mid-air, and four more Curved Sabers flew out.

The sound of breaking bones was heartbreaking to hear, but Ye’s Miracle Technique was already in effect. Who had the presence of mind to tell the Elder Divine Doctor to take it easy?

"Look! Listen! Ask! Feel!"

A sharp glint flashed in the Elder Divine Doctor’s eyes. After a moment’s pause, he twisted his old bones, and all six sabers descended at once. The spinning blades gleamed like a silver tornado in the night, instantly carving a path from top to bottom across the surface of the flesh mound. Wherever the silver whirlwind passed, the six sabers acted like a meat grinder, sending minced flesh flying everywhere. Looking at the flesh mound again, a deep, bloody ravine had been gouged into it by the Elder Divine Doctor’s "Look-Listen-Ask-Feel Back-Scrubbing Swordsmanship."

After the Elder Divine Doctor, leading the charge and disregarding his own safety, unleashed his "Look-Listen-Ask-Feel Back-Scrubbing Sword Technique," a shrill infant’s cry came from deep within the flesh mound. Immediately after, the ugly tumors on the mountain of meat burst open. The squirming chunks of flesh gradually formed the fragmented silhouettes of babies. Their faces, which should have been innocent and bright, were now nothing but hollow voids for eyes, ears, mouths, and noses, all pressing hard against each other, twisted and monstrous.

This horrifying scene made everyone gasp in cold air once more.

The Elder Divine Doctor landed on the ground with a THUD, clutching his old back and crying out in pain. Jun Buxiao sauntered over to him, shaking his head, and with the speed of a thunderclap, SNIP SNIP, he cut off the Elder Divine Doctor’s shadow with two clips of his scissors.

A shadow as thin as Human skin struggled in Jun Buxiao’s hands. It was the first time the Elder Divine Doctor had his shadow snipped off by Jun Buxiao. A chill ran down his spine, and he stared warily at Jun Buxiao. "Hey! Kid, what are you cutting my shadow for?"

"You see, I’ve hit a dead end and have no shadows left to use!" Jun Buxiao said with a grin, pointing at the empty street. "So, I’m making bold to borrow the Elder Divine Doctor’s shadow for a bit."

As he spoke, Jun Buxiao began to mess with the Elder Divine Doctor’s shadow. He first put it to his mouth and blew. The shadow swelled, inflating slightly.

The Elder Divine Doctor was stunned at first. His heart dropped as he realized this was bad. He shouted, "But I haven’t agreed yet!"

Jun Buxiao’s hands moved extremely fast, and the expression under his mask grew increasingly twisted as he got more and more into it.

He first inflated the shadow, then pinched out two more pairs of arms on its back. Each of the six arms held a shadowy saber and had a monstrous Appearance. As the shadow changed, the Elder Divine Doctor’s veins bulged all over his body and his muscles swelled. Then, he felt a painful stretching sensation on his back as two pairs of arm-like shadows actually grew out of it.

The Elder Divine Doctor was stunned. It was his first time personally experiencing such an unreasonable Miracle Technique.

"Wait a minute, you opera singer, what do you think you’re doing?"

The Elder Divine Doctor’s face was full of vigilance. When Jun Buxiao was done, he slapped the Elder Divine Doctor’s shadow onto his own chest. With his Instantaneous Scissors, Jun Buxiao "swallowed" the shadow. His figure took on a bit of an old man’s stoop, but his muscles also bulged, stretching his robes to their breaking point.

"Hahaha! Let’s go!"

Jun Buxiao let out a gleeful laugh and leaped toward the Nascent Soul Evil Object.

"I don’t want to!!"

Pulled along by the shadow, the Elder Divine Doctor was a million times unwilling, yet he achieved a perfect "synchronization" with Jun Buxiao’s movements. The two of them performed "Look-Listen-Ask-Feel" in the sky, transforming into little spinning tops, nimbly weaving around the flesh mound and scraping away at it from all sides.

’I was careless! I didn’t dodge!’

The Elder Divine Doctor involuntarily unleashed terrifying Sword Techniques, all while cursing a blue streak, damning eighteen generations of Jun Buxiao’s ancestors.

The others had no idea of the Elder Divine Doctor’s inner anguish. Xi’er watched, dumbfounded, as the two small whirlwinds sent flesh and blood flying from the mound with terrifying power. "What a fierce Miracle Technique!" she exclaimed. "They work so well together, complementing each other perfectly!"

But why, amidst the sounds of flying flesh and scraping blades, were there occasional CRACKS of breaking bone and the tragic screams of an old man?

Under the frantic scraping and chopping of the two "back-scrubbing whirlwinds," the layers of meat on the mound grew thinner and thinner, turning into a drizzling rain of blood that fell from the sky.

Xi’er and Snake decisively joined the fray. Xi’er hooked her ten fingers, and invisible threads, sharp as knives, neatly sliced off a large chunk. Snake, however, circled the giant meat mountain for a while but couldn’t find a single place to bite down. ’Disgusting,’ she thought. She would rather go down on the pony-sized Red King a million times than take a single bite of this nauseating flesh mound. She could only hiss, flicking her tongue out to spray venom into the wounds the others had made, focusing on a support role to add poison damage.

Meanwhile, Mo Kuang was still spiritedly chanting the Song of the Vast Righteous Qi, not even close to finished.

「Meanwhile.」

With the Orange Cat’s help, Zheng Xiu had glimpsed the essence of the world, torn open a rift, and vanished from the Common World. The first time he truly stepped into the gap between the Common World and the Darkness as an "Incarnation," he was unaware of the incident in Lu Town caused by the "unsevered umbilical cord," and was simply marveling at the bizarre and fantastical scenery before him.
