Chapter 718: Phase Two

The first phase of this battle was Iron Lion and the others probing Xu Wan.

Every Anomaly had a different ability.

And someone like Xu Wan was an Anomaly that had never been seen before.

If they hadn't known her background, no one would believe that she was actually an Anomaly.

She was too human-like.

Even her sharp tongue, her annoyingness, all felt like a real person of flesh and blood.

When facing such an Anomaly, everyone was on high alert without exception.

Attacking a completely unknown Anomaly was undoubtedly an extremely, extremely dangerous thing.

Although the first phase of the battle couldn't force out all of Xu Wan's secrets, everyone now had some understanding of her.

Of course, everyone's impression of Xu Wan's sharp tongue had now become even more profound.

...

"Bullshit, I've never believed there's anything in this world that can't be killed!"

Just as Xu Wan was holding her head high, looking at Chen Ye and the group of ugly pieces of trash in her eyes.

A roar rang out like thunder.

Before anyone could react, they felt a fiery, explosive aura detonate out of nowhere.

It was that woman like blazing fire.

The alluring woman more volatile than a fierce tiger.

Jiang Rou!

Jiang Rou had been waiting, waiting for an opportunity to strike!

But in her eyes, this Anomaly called Xu Wan was like a cloud of mist. From the start of the battle until now, Xu Wan had been suppressing everyone with a very relaxed demeanor.

This meant Jiang Rou had never found the right opportunity.

Since that was the case, if there was no right opportunity, then she would create one herself.

The woman carved a black line across the sea surface, like opening up a highway on the ocean.

Behind Jiang Rou, the faint dharma form of a massive tiger loomed.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Rou arrived before Xu Wan, both hands formed into claws, one claw slashing toward Xu Wan's neck.

Xu Wan raised her beautiful eyes and cast a casual glance at Jiang Rou.

She was as serene as a small white flower in a valley.

A petal happened to fall, blocking the space between Jiang Rou's tiger claw and Xu Wan's slender neck.

Then, in the next instant.

That petal suddenly grew, transforming into a flower suspended in midair.

It was a human-skin flower, its petal veins exactly like human skin.

And at the very center of that flower's stamen, there was the small face of a child.

Just as Jiang Rou looked at this human-skin flower, the child's face suddenly opened its eyes and let out a piercing shriek at Jiang Rou.

"Ah~~~"

Utterly mournful!

Jiang Rou only felt her mind sink slightly.

But that moment was extremely brief, so brief that it barely caused any substantial damage to Jiang Rou.

Jiang Rou instantly steadied her mind, and her gaze turned even more ferocious.

Her right hand exerted force, directly shredding that tiny human-skin flower into powder.

"Ah~~~"

That scream seemed even more vivid now.

As if it were truly a child's cry for help.

Jiang Rou forcefully suppressed the discomfort in her heart, her eyes like blades fixed on Xu Wan who was right before her.

But even with Xu Wan this close, Jiang Rou's attacks could never reach that woman's slender neck.

That delicate neck, which looked so fragile.

If she could just grab it and give it a light twist, this thing would disappear from this world again.

Even if she could resurrect.

Jiang Rou was completely unafraid. If she could kill her once, she could kill her a hundred times.

Even if she could revive, so what?

Did she really think she could revive a hundred times?

In the next instant, the petals around Jiang Rou all transformed into delicate, beautiful flowers.

These flowers had petals like human skin.

And the stamen portions were small human faces.

Some were the faces of old people, some were the faces of children.

Every face awakened, their expressions like those of living, breathing humans.

These people stared at Jiang Rou with venomous hatred.

Some faces shrieked at Jiang Rou.

Some faces directly opened wide mouths, revealing pitch-black cavities and stark white teeth, wanting to tear a chunk of flesh from Jiang Rou's body.

"Scram!"

Jiang Rou roared in fury, using her forward momentum to begin spinning rapidly in midair.

Any human-skin flower that came near Jiang Rou was shredded by the air currents her rotation generated.

Those long, beautiful legs were like lethal weapons, carrying a pale, alluring danger, like a raging tiger's roar.

Unlike the Fist Master Sequence.

The Fist Master Sequence's primary attack method was still one's own fists, requiring absolute confidence in them.

For an ancient martial artist, everything could be used as a weapon.

Whether it was the thin blade at her waist that had never been drawn, or those enchanting long legs.

The dharma form of a fierce tiger surged from behind Jiang Rou.

A long leg descended from the sky, carrying unmatched momentum, smashing down fiercely at Xu Wan.

Xu Wan squinted slightly: "A bit interesting!"

As she spoke, she reached out a hand and lightly blocked Jiang Rou's leg that carried the force of a thousand jun.

At the same time, a small flower grew on the back of Xu Wan's hand.

"Boom!"

Finally, Jiang Rou's leg and Xu Wan's hand connected.

Like two heavy trucks colliding, the impact sent a cloud of white mist bursting through the air.

The strength of these two had already surpassed the limits of the human body.

"Boom!~~~"

Another light sound!

The arm Xu Wan had used to catch Jiang Rou seemed unable to withstand the pressure, and in an instant, it transformed into petals dancing through the air.

"Sun Xixi, are you going to make a move or not?!"

Jiang Rou, having shattered one of Xu Wan's arms into flying petals, pressed on relentlessly, her body continuously manifesting ferocious tiger dharma forms.

Every strike carried overwhelming power.

For a time, she actually managed to suppress Xu Wan slightly.

Sun Xixi had long been ready and waiting, forming hand seals and muttering incantations under her breath.

The fire dragon manifested by the Fire Dragon Sword became even more ferocious, letting out a roar and charging straight at Xu Wan.

Along the path the fire dragon passed, all those petals were ignited, never getting the chance to transform into human-skin flowers.

But just then, amid Jiang Rou's dense attacks.

A slender arm appeared from who knows when, suddenly emerging from an angle Jiang Rou had never guarded against.

A delicate, fair little hand lightly pressed against Jiang Rou's abdomen.

It looked like a gentle push.

But Jiang Rou felt as if she'd been struck by a tremendous force, her face filled with extreme shock.

"Boom!~~~"

A muffled grunt, and a white shockwave formed a circular ring between Xu Wan and Jiang Rou.

Xu Wan was sent flying.

Just then, the fire dragon surged in with waves of heat.

In the next second, Xu Wan would be devoured by the fire dragon.

Xu Wan lightly tapped a petal that fell before her eyes: "Go!"

Then...

That petal seemed to be infused with some kind of magical energy, and countless petals around rapidly converged.

In just a flash, a giant dragon entirely composed of petals formed.

The petal dragon carried a bizarre, oppressive presence and lunged directly at the fire dragon.

"Hey! Demon, do you think Old Sun doesn't exist?!"

Wu Zehui struck again, the golden eyes on his face like those of a Deity, leaping into the air.

The Golden Cudgel in his hand was expanding infinitely, one end gripped in Wu Zehui's hand.

The other end had already grown as large as a mountain.

The wind pressure pressed the surrounding petals flat against the ground.

Xu Wan's expression remained unchanged as countless roots on the ground crazily grew, continuing to entangle themselves around the Golden Cudgel in Wu Zehui's hand.

"Go!"

At that moment, Elder Hou Junji made his move.

The many birds swirling around him, upon receiving Elder Hou's command, let out a series of unpleasant cries and charged at Xu Wan.

A petal transformed into a human-skin flower, blocking the path before the flock of birds.

The leading bird extended its sharp talons, grabbing directly at the human-skin flower.

The human-skin flower bloomed, and the face of an old man appeared at the center of the stamen.

The old man's face shrieked at the bird.

In just an instant, that bird seemed as if struck by a freezing spell, appearing somewhat dazed.

Countless petals transformed into blooming human-skin flowers, drifting toward that bird. Small faces opened their wide mouths, wanting to tear the bird apart.

But just then, a bird lagging slightly behind appeared and directly clawed at the human-skin flower.

The flock of birds and the human-skin flowers became entangled.

Elder Hou Junji was not flustered at all. He just stood there holding the Black Silk Top Hat in his hands.

Birds kept pouring out of that hat endlessly, as if there were no end to them.

Iron Lion stood not far away on the beach, the muscles of his four arms intertwining and fusing together.

A pitch-black, massive cannon barrel aimed in Xu Wan's direction.

"BOOM!~~"

A tremendous shock!

A white cannonball blasted out of the barrel, shooting directly toward Xu Wan.

Explosions of water sprayed up across the sea surface.

That crazy woman Jiang Rou attacked once again.
