Scourge Messenger

Chapter 199 A Second Rainstorm!

Helan Xun is dead?
Although Helan Yu was not close to this clan uncle, as secret agents of the demonic path chosen by the family, both of them naturally had extraordinary abilities and were both good at remaining calm and composed in the face of danger.

Unlike Helan Yu, who was forcibly fed to the third level, Helan Xun genuinely cultivated to the third level. Given time, he will become a skilled fighter with the same strength as the 'Hunter King' Helan Que.

On the way, Helan Yu once struck up a conversation with his clan uncle, saying that once they brought the family to its peak, he would also go to the Divine Marquis's Mansion to give it his all. He was unwilling to not reach the Foundation Establishment stage in this life. His clan uncle, holding his spear, closed his eyes to rest. When Helan Yu had forgotten about the topic, he suddenly said that if such a day really came, he would like to open a restaurant in Chang'an, sit behind the counter every day and watch the customers come and go, stir-fry some peanuts and drink some wine.

Helan Yu asked, "Aren't you going to establish your foundation?" The clan uncle shook his head, saying it was too much trouble, and he was tired after all these years and just wanted to rest. Helan Yu then smiled and said, "Then I'll come and patronize your restaurant when the time comes. Remember to prepare some fine wine."

They followed their ancestor to the Shu Dao Mountain, using this group of demonic trash as resources to rise up, and made a pact to raise a glass in remembrance of their demonic life in the future. But it ended before it even began.
Actually, Helan Yu still had a chance to save his uncle at this time. As long as he could reconnect his head with his body, with the restorative power of the Foundation Establishment token, he might have a chance to be resurrected.

However, however.

The bunny girl stepped over Helan Xun's corpse, holding the Bingzi Pepper Forest, which was almost as tall as her, with her hair flying and her big braid swaying back and forth. She looked like an ordinary little girl playing a martial arts game, vulgar yet cute.

As she approached, Helan Yu took a step back, as if a rabid dog had encountered an even more ferocious beast, or perhaps a demon.

will die.

Even her uncle had his head severed by her. Helan Yu didn't think she had the ability to fight against her, let alone snatch her uncle's body and reassemble it.

The situation has spiraled out of control. They are non-human beings who are pretending to be Foundation Establishment cultivators, but the other party is a monarch who controls natural disasters. The Bingzi Pepper Forest in her hands seems to have truly become the king's sword that governs the world!

Without even time to think of a countermeasure, the bunny girl charged towards Helan Yu, unleashing a thirty-meter-long blade of light that seemed capable of cleaving the heavens and earth in two. This was the first time Helan Yu had dodged in battle, and not just dodged, but also retreated!

Retreat, retreat, retreat!

The pharmacist did not let this opportunity pass and tried every means to intercept Helan Yu's steps. He used the Soul-Severing Spear to unleash a rain of pear blossoms that enveloped Helan Yu. Combined with the Rabbit Girl's sword light, they soon shattered Helan Yu's defensive barrier.

But Helan Yu had no intention of retaliating. He kept a close eye on the Bunny Girl's every move, completely ignoring the Pharmacist's attacks. He only dodged the Bunny Girl's fatal attacks aimed at his vital points. Even though he was covered in wounds and fleshy growths like caterpillars covering his body, he never stopped moving, like a cornered beast desperately fleeing for its life!

He leaped over the countless corpses of demonic messengers along the way, fleeing straight for the gates of the mountain stronghold. In his haste, he even stumbled and was slashed twice more by the Rabbit Girl. He even began to regret why he had killed all the demonic messengers earlier; now, even running away felt like a hindrance. If he had left some men behind, perhaps the Rabbit Girl would have refrained from using a wide-ranging attack to avoid harming innocent bystanders. Now that Shudao Mountain was cleared out, she had no qualms whatsoever.

In fact, He Lanyu's idea is pure fantasy. The Bunny Girl is a heroine, not a saint. Even if these demonic messengers had no intention of attacking her, she would have killed them along with He Lanyu without hesitation in this situation.

It's like there are two roads, one with Helan Yu and the Demon Messenger standing on it, and the other with Yaoshi Yuan standing on it. The Bunny Girl is driving a hundred-ton car, and she just keeps pressing the accelerator to the limit and crashing Helan Yu and the others into the air!
"Ancestor, save me!"

Fear festered within him, and coupled with the Bunny Girl's near-torture-like attacks, Helan Yu finally broke down completely. He wasn't unaware that his actions would displease his ancestor, but he was going to die, without having accomplished anything, buried in this garbage dump of Shu Road Mountain—a death utterly meaningless!
"Ancestor, Immortal Dongshou, I am your grand-nephew, you cannot stand idly by, save me, please save me!"

Helan Yu suddenly fell, and when he tried to stand up, he found that he couldn't put any weight on his legs. It turned out that the Rabbit Girl had severed his Achilles tendons. The disadvantage of losing the sense of pain became apparent. Helan Yu had no idea that the Rabbit Girl had been aiming at his Achilles tendons, and was only focused on dodging the blades aimed at his vital points.

But he seemed to unleash even more potential in desperate situations. The moment he fell, he immediately crawled on his hands and feet. It only took him a moment to adapt to this animalistic way of walking. His speed was not much slower than walking, and he was not affected by the corpse.

With a loud shout, the apothecary thrust the Soul-Severing Spear into Helan Yu's body with all his might, attempting to pin him to the ground. Helan Yu vomited a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs. In that brief moment, the cruel blade struck again, sawing through his neck bit by bit like a saw!

I can't die, I don't want to die!
Helan Yu let out a shrill roar and pulled hard, actually managing to pull himself out from under the tip of the Soul-Severing Spear. The price was that his internal organs, ribs, and flesh were cut by the spear tip with an extremely horrific wound. Even with his near-inhuman regenerative abilities, he could not recover in a short time.

But his injuries didn't affect his mobility; in fact, he crawled even faster, like a cockroach burrowing into the ruins of the Demon-Slaying Hall. These ruins were impassable for ordinary people, but perfect for reptiles; Helan Yu could easily squeeze through the minimum space required to pass through!

The ruins collapsed with a loud crash, as the Bunny Girl's Bingzi Pepper Forest carried out a second act of destruction. However, Helan Yu's plan succeeded. The ruins successfully slowed down the Bunny Girl's progress, giving her time to repair her body and successfully cross the hall to reach the open space in front of the stronghold.

He looked up and saw the white-haired youth sitting quietly at the entrance of the mountain stronghold in the distance. Overwhelmed with joy, he cried out, "Ancestor, save me! Save me!"

Boom! The ruins crumbled, and the Bunny Girl stepped out. She gazed at the Winter Hunting Master outside the Taiyin Canopy, her face expressionless, her eyes as calm as a lake. There was neither the anger of seeing an enemy nor the joy of slaying a villain. If the Bunny Girl before had resembled a young girl, then the Bunny Girl who drew the Bingzi Pepper Forest was now a silent demon; death was her only greeting!
Faced with his disappointing junior and the mysterious young girl, Fuyuki Makoto remained calm and composed, uttering only two words:
"Time, the flash of a blade."

Time, a flash of light? He Lanyu was startled and turned to look at the bunny girl behind him. This action caused his right eye to be cut open, and transparent fluid burst out, like tears sliding down his cheek.

But he saw it; he saw hope for his survival!
"You can't keep going like this!" Helan Yu shouted as she crawled, more to encourage herself than to explain: "Your sword light has dimmed considerably compared to before, and you'll soon lose this power!"

"You're finished. Without the distance advantage of the blade's aura, you can't hurt me at all! I can slowly drag this out. So what if it's the power of natural disaster? How can you possibly withstand a fake Foundation Establishment cultivator? I'll recover to normal soon. When that happens, I'll kill that woman first. I'll tear off her hands and feet, twist off her head, and slaughter her like a dog!"

"So what if you're powerful? You can't do anything. You're having fun cutting me now, aren't you? For every knife you slash me, I'll slash her just as much. I'll chop her into mincemeat and feed her to you!" The Pharmacist's face was grim as she tried to pin him to the ground again, but Helan Yu was much faster and more alert. He could use his hands and feet, but he resolutely refused to give her a chance to pin him down. The Bunny Girl continued to wield the Bingzi Pepper Forest with an expressionless face. The blade's light almost transformed into a continuous orange glow, tearing Helan Yu to shreds and leaving countless wounds. There wasn't a single good piece of flesh on his body; it was all covered in regenerating flesh, making him look like a monstrous monster.

But he just won't die!

He was constantly on guard, avoiding the blades aimed at his neck and head. As long as those two spots were safe, he would have a chance to make a comeback!

The orange-red light of the sword in Bingzi Jiaolin grew dimmer, and Helan Yu drew ever closer to the entrance of the stronghold. Although the Taiyin Huagai was forbidden to enter or leave, who knew if the Winter Hunting Master had any special means to allow certain people to come and go freely?
If we don't kill Helan Yu here, we'll really have no chance!
The two girls unleashed a barrage of attacks, truly resembling sisters at this moment, one wielding a blade of light, the other a spear of chilling sharpness, their attacks perfectly coordinated. Even with Master Dongshou watching them from outside, they showed no hesitation, determined to dismember his junior before he even reached the Foundation Establishment stage!

Just as Helan Yu was about to crawl to the door, Yaoshi Yuan finally found an opportunity to pin him down by the leg. However, Helan Yu didn't care about this injury at all and could easily pull it off. But at this moment, Dongshou Zhenren suddenly said, "Watch out for the downpour."

He Lanyu was startled, then realized something and jumped up from the ground like a shrimp. Even though the bunny girl immediately drew her sword and slashed at his neck, she couldn't stop him!
He didn't use a sword, but instead threw a punch! The pharmacist tried his best to block with the Soul-Severing Spear, but he was still sent flying dozens of steps away by the punch. His hands contained the power of mountains. No wonder the Bunny Girl's Seven Star Sword was shattered by him with one strike.

After Helan Yu suddenly knocked Yaoshi Yuan away, she continued to run away, but at this moment, the Bunny Girl slowed down.

The reason why Master Dongshou suddenly warned about the torrential rain was because thirty breaths had passed, and the Bunny Girl could use the Rainstorm Killing Technique again to kill Helan Yu just like she had killed Helan Xun!
Therefore, even if Helan Yu's neck is slashed, he must still knock Yaoshi Yuan away. Otherwise, even if he doesn't attack, Yaoshi Yuan can still help trigger the rainstorm.

The harsher his words were, the fiercer Bunny Girl became in the downpour!

He Lanyu was overjoyed. The Bunny Girl must have realized she no longer had a chance to unleash her torrential killing technique, which was why she had slowed down. His remaining eye gleamed with relief and malice. He would repay this humiliation tenfold. Bunny Girl, Pharmacist Yuan, you both deserve it—

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of Helan Yu. He looked up and his eyes revealed a look of disdain.

Of the three great protectors of Shudao Mountain, the one he despised the most was the man before him, Xue Xiang.

Wearing a scholar's cap, a crimson robe, and a jade belt with an official seal, this mere bandit leader, a bastard of demonic cultivation, acted like a nobleman from Chang'an—a complete farce. Even though his uncle had promised him survival if he helped, Helan Yu was prepared to renege. To live under the same sky as such trash was an insult to him.

Is he surrendering? Or trying to obstruct me? But whatever he wants to do, a mere piece of trash can't possibly affect the situation. Besides, since he's seen me like this, Helan Yu won't let him go... or more accurately, he won't let any of the culprits escape from Shudao Mountain!
So Helan Yu ignored him and crawled past him. If Xue Xiang dared to block his way, he could slap the cockroach to death.

However, at this moment, Bloodface looked at Bunny Girl and said, "You brat, I've had my eye on you two for a long time. Take this!"

Watch out!

He Lanyu felt a chill run down his spine. Despite the blazing sun, his body grew colder inch by inch. Despair, like a venomous snake, crawled up his spine and penetrated his brain! He sprang up instantly to capture and kill Xue Xiang, but Xue Xiang had already run dozens of steps away, leaving only a trail of blood that shot slowly toward the Rabbit Girl.

No, no, no!

He Lanyu roared inwardly, wishing the arrow of blood had struck his heart! But it was too late to intercept it; the entrance to the stronghold was right in front of him. Now he could only do everything in his power to escape from Taiyin Huagai!

"Ancestor, save me—"

Master Dongshou looked at Helan Yu rushing towards him, and the dazzling orange-red light behind him, as if the setting sun was burning the heavens and earth.

Bunny Girl dodged the blood arrow and entered the rainstorm for the second time!

Blood Arrow of Blood Phase becomes the final piece of the puzzle in this torrential rain hunt!
Clap!

Helan Yu's body crashed to the ground, a two-foot-long fountain of blood gushing from his broken neck, splashing onto the invisible Taiyin Canopy and sliding down before Dongshou Zhenren's eyes. He reached his hands above his head, but this time the Rabbit Girl had learned her lesson and chopped off his hands first, preventing him from having the chance to charge forward with his head in his hands.

His monstrous head flew off, rolling to the feet of Master Dongshou, his only remaining eye staring unblinkingly in death.

He Lanyu died.

When the Bunny Girl stopped, the Bingzi Peppered Forest in her hand had just completely dimmed; the thirty-four seconds of the Heaven-Covering Technique had not been wasted at all. She stepped over Helan Yu's corpse and walked to the entrance of the mountain stronghold, where she met the gaze of the Winter Hunting Master across the Taiyin Canopy.

The remaining number of demonic cultivators on Shudao Mountain is 3.
