Chapter 518: Chapter 258: Form 4: Cat Scissors

The "Twelve Linked Arrows"—known two hundred years ago in the Martial World as the "Luohe Divine Arrow"—reappeared in the world, in the hands of Feng Bei.

Twelve black Arrows shot forth the instant Feng Bei drew her bowstring. The twelve Arrows collided in mid-air, the impacts creating black sparks like stars or polished jade. They ricocheted at impossible angles, forming an impenetrable curtain that converged on the giant mass of flesh.

In truth, the grotesque flesh monster was so enormous that no aiming was required. The devastating Arrows carved deep gouges into the monster as if it were tofu!

From the bloody gouges, the moment the creature was wounded, a series of creepy giggles echoed from deep within the flesh. The writhing mass swelled once more, and in an instant, the wounds carved by the Twelve Linked Arrows healed amid its squirming.

"It’s healing?"

Feng Bei frowned.

Zheng Xiu reached up and touched the bump between his eyebrows.

There were no longer any outsiders in Lu Town, and the injured had been taken away by Yin Qingqing’s "Time Demon Bag." The only ones who made Zheng Xiu feel somewhat constrained were the two sisters, Snake and Ye, who had just joined the Disaster Prevention Bureau and whose backgrounds were still a mystery.

Zheng Xiu looked at the two of them.

Ye smiled faintly, placed the reed leaf to her lips again, and began to play.

Murderous, invisible notes filled the air, carried on the night wind as unseen waves of "Blade Qi" slashed at the fleshy mass.

Flesh and blood flew from the monster’s body.

Zheng Xiu was suddenly forced to look at Ye in a new light. He’d never expected a Miracle Technique of the [Musician] Path could be used this way. Zheng Xiu finally understood how Incompleteness Tower had managed to hide in the Great Desert and oppose Ye Weiyang, both openly and in secret, for so many years.

Incompleteness Tower was full of Odd People, and the Ten Greats of Incompleteness Tower each possessed marvelous techniques.

The ones Zheng Xiu already knew were:

[Musician]: Ye.

[Divine-Tuning Witch?]: Snake.

[Thief Sect]: Void, Chu Susu.

[Ascetic Monk]: Yao, Playful Monk.

There was also a "Mountain Spirit" he had only heard about, rumored to be skilled in the Magic of defense.

’Speaking of which, it’s been a while since I’ve seen the Monk. I kind of miss him.’

Ye was very perceptive. With just a single glance from Zheng Xiu, she knew the young man was telling them, ’Since you’ve joined the Disaster Prevention Bureau, you need to show your worth.’ Ye understood. She attacked with her full power, showing her best side to the young man, hoping for a promotion and a raise, to marry Prince Fu, and reach the pinnacle of her life.

As for Snake, she lifted a corner of her veil, revealing dry fangs. She puckered her lips, squeezed out a few pathetic drops from between her teeth, and then fizzled out.

"Don’t look at me! I’ve been spraying all night, I’m completely empty!"

She was probably talking about her venom.

Feng Bei’s gaze turned cold, a trace of anger and killing intent flashing in her eyes. She was clearly infuriated by this bizarre creature.

A mountain-like shadow emerged behind her. Her long hair danced, the thorn-like tattoos on her face deepened, and as she made a grasping motion with her right hand, a giant Horse-Cutting Saber materialized behind her, ready to strike.

Zheng Xiu gently pressed down on Feng Bei’s hand, taking the opportunity to give her soft palm a little scratch.

Feng Bei’s dancing hair settled as she turned to look at Zheng Xiu, a bit puzzled. She had misunderstood. Tilting her head, she said, syllable by syllable, "Not. Here."

"Uh, sorry, bad timing on the scratch. What I meant to say is, it looks like you’ve made ’Xie Luohe’s’ techniques your own. You’ve completely mastered them."

Feng Bei was taken aback for a moment, then her smile widened. "I have. Do you like it?" She suddenly held up two fingers, leaned close to Zheng Xiu’s ear despite the situation, and breathed warmly, "And maybe it’s not just the Miracle Techniques I’ve assimilated. In your words, this is... double the fun."

Feng Bei held up two fingers with a grin.

For a moment, Zheng Xiu felt a disorienting sense of deja vu, as if he were back at Mohe Pavilion, looking at the proprietress behind the counter.

"Er..."

Zheng Xiu was at a loss for words. Ye’s ears suddenly perked up. Zheng Xiu put on a stern face. "Double what fun? Don’t just double things... Ahem, I mean, we can talk about ’double’ later. Stop attacking for now! Your Miracle Techniques are only making it bigger!"

Feng Bei obediently stopped, her expression instantly reverting to its usual cold calm. One moment her expression and tone were like Feng Bei’s, the next they weren’t. The same person was acting like two different people in the blink of an eye. Truly, double the fun.

Zheng Xiu gulped but didn’t press the issue. Nearby, Ye and Snake, who had also perked their ears up as if they’d heard something, stopped their attacks in unison—one looking bewildered, the other blushing.

"Back, back, back!"

The fleshy mass was still swelling, rolling as it expanded several more meters outwards.

’Could it be growing by devouring Filthy Qi?’

Zheng Xiu knew that the origin of Mystics and Miracle Techniques was the convergence of the Darkness and the Common World. Through a "Path," Miracle Masters and Mystics could transform the "Filthy Qi" leaking from the Darkness into all sorts of strange Abilities.

"Let me try something."

A glint appeared in Zheng Xiu’s eyes. He pondered for a moment, and was just about to open his mouth when he immediately shut it. ’The output of the "Dan Demon Giant Cannon" is too powerful,’ he thought. ’If this monster really is growing by devouring Filthy Qi like I suspect, a single blast from the Dan Demon cannon might instantly grow this Nascent Soul monster to an irreversible scale.’

The [Surprise Cage] was also an amplified Miracle Technique, so Zheng Xiu quickly ruled it out.

Channeling the Caged Sparrow, Zheng Xiu shot high into the air with a single flap of his wing. His eyes glowed faintly. Under his [inspiration], the purity of the central Nascent Soul and the filth of the surrounding flesh were laid bare before him.

[HEE HEE HEE HEE~~~~]

[HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE~~] 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

[So fun...]

[Big brother, let’s... play!]

The childish voices echoed over Lu Town. The moment Zheng Xiu activated his [inspiration], the monster reacted violently, as if a basin of foot-washing water had been dumped into boiling oil.
