Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?

"Pfft!"

The sword energy shot directly through his body, making a soft sound, before continuing to fly into the distant sky and disappearing from sight.

Li Liang opened his mouth, then lowered his head in disbelief, covering his large belly.

Perhaps because the cut was too smooth, a thin line of blood slowly appeared from the waist the moment the fingers touched the clothing.

It wasn't until the greenish pus and blood soaked through his clothes that he belatedly felt a sharp pain coming from his waist.

"not good!"

"puff--"

His expression changed drastically, and his upper and lower body suddenly separated.

Yellowish-green poisonous mist leaked wildly from the broken body, forming a foul-smelling cloud in mid-air.

Li Liang quickly grabbed his out-of-control lower body, attempting to use the remaining death energy within his body to repair the wounds.

But before he could mobilize it, the whole world fell into a strange state of stagnation.

Everyone's movements were slowed down to the extreme, while a violent ripple appeared above Li Liang's head.

"Boom!"

A terrifyingly powerful bolt of icy blue lightning struck down from the center, completely engulfing him!

The powerful lightning element instantly pierced through Li Liang's body, igniting the "seed of fire" that had long been planted within him.

The icy blue lightning was completely dyed orange-gold, and at the same time, time resumed its normal flow.

"Bang!"

Before anyone could react, Li Liang transformed into a dazzling firework.

In their eyes, Li Liang collided head-on with the sword energy and exploded on the spot without even letting out a scream.

An eerie silence fell over the scene.

The "fireworks" gradually faded away, and the bloated figure completely disappeared, leaving not even a trace.

"Li Liang... he's really dead?"

Wang Hu's eyes widened in disbelief:

"He was a seventh-tier [Corruption]! Gone just like that?"

Although he looked down on Li Liang, he still recognized Li Liang's survival skills.

As a walking pathogen, Li Liang was already in a "living dead" state, and ordinary physical attacks could not kill him!

It's the same even if you cut it vertically!

The other leaders standing nearby shared the same thought, exchanging bewildered glances, their eyes filled with shock.

If they were able to kill Li Liang, does that mean the other side could easily kill them as well?

Huo Tianxiong frowned and remained silent.

He had just said he would help him, and now the man was dead. Wasn't that a slap in his own face?

He squinted and looked at the spot next to Jinwu.

A man with a gloomy face stood in mid-air, holding a strange black and white sword in his hand.

Luo Zheng was right; the person behind it did indeed appear very quickly, and deliberately waited until the Black Hand Gang members arrived before making their move.

Their target... is probably just those few people.

All at once?

Where did he get the confidence to deal with five seventh-level opponents at the same time, plus Luo Zheng, whose strength was comparable to that of a seventh-level opponent?

Thinking of this, Huo Tianxiong put on a fake smile and said loudly:

"Impressive tactics. May I ask your name, brother? What brings you to my Base City No. 187?"

Ye Chenyang, holding the Yin-Yang Sword in one hand and ignoring the Golden Crow's protective flames with the other, stroked its nape and replied casually:

"Just passing by."

"Just passing by? Heh..."

Huo Tianxiong's face darkened.

"Why kill someone when you were just passing by? What did he do to you?"

"This guy stinks so badly, it's suffocating us."

Ye Chenyang casually made up an excuse, but his gaze bypassed Huo Tianxiong and landed on Luo Zheng, who was protecting everyone in front of him.

He abruptly changed the subject, a slight smile playing on his lips:

"have not seen you for a long time."

Upon hearing this, the members of the Black Hand Gang were all stunned and looked in the direction Ye Chenyang was looking.

"Luo Zheng, do you know him?"

The young man with the broken eyebrow, who was closest to them, spoke the thoughts of everyone:

"Didn't you say you only saw it from afar? How come you..."

"No, I've never met him."

Luo Zheng shook his head.

"This calamity is not his; someone else is manipulating it."

"What?!"

Wang Hu was by nature a straightforward person.

Luo Zheng was clearly hiding something and didn't want to say it. His already dwindling patience ran out, and he questioned sharply:

"Luo Zheng, what exactly do you know? Tell me the truth!"

"That's right, Luo Zheng, we treated you like a brother, but you treated us like fools?"

The others chimed in agreement.

Luo Zheng had only been here for a few days. Although he was very strong, he was not a good person and had no good relationship with any of the other four.

"That's enough!"

Huo Tianxiong did not turn around, but he silenced the restless crowd with just one sentence.

"Aren't you ashamed to be fighting amongst yourselves here?"

"So what if there's one more person? We have six of us, five of them at level seven. Can't we hold them off?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Tianxiong flashed away, so fast that he left an afterimage in his place.

"Walk!"

Ye Chenyang's pupils contracted slightly, and he subconsciously activated the power of space.

In a flash of golden light, the figures of the man and the bird vanished instantly.

The next second, a golden spear carrying immense blood energy crashed down from the sky!

"boom!"

With no target, the spear crashed unimpeded into the city below, instantly creating a huge mushroom cloud.

In the blink of an eye, an entire urban area was razed to the ground!

Those passersby didn't even have time to scream before they became victims of gunfire.

Only a few sixth-order reactions were fast enough to narrowly escape the blast zone.

But they didn't dare look up, and could only accept their bad luck and slink away.

"call out!"

Before the smoke and dust from the center of the explosion had even dissipated, the golden spear flew out from the blast and landed back in Huo Tianxiong's hand.

He casually twirled his gun and looked up towards the south.

"Spatial power? Tsk, you're pretty fast."

In Huo Tianxiong's view, no matter how strong their attack power was, Ye Chenyang and Jinwu were essentially only at the sixth level, and it was impossible for them to withstand his attack head-on!

That attack was just a casual gesture; it didn't consume much of his energy.

If they go all out, destroying the First District would be a piece of cake.

And even if the opponent can teleport, how many times can they use it in a row?

Compared to him, his tolerance for error is far too low!

Unlike the domineering nature of the [Champion], the [Tyrant] possesses extremely high speed while maintaining offensive power.

Even if he were placed in the higher-ranking seventh tier, he could still hold his own, let alone deal with two sixth-tier opponents.

"Master Huo!"

Wang Hu stepped aside and stood respectfully beside him.

"Hmph, this isn't a place they can come and go as they please. Chase them!"

"yes!"

Upon receiving the order, the group transformed into various colored streaks of light and sped off towards the south.

……

"Gurgle—Ptooey!"

On the rooftop of the building, Jiang Mian squatted in a shady spot, rinsing his mouth repeatedly.

She's so stupid, really.

When I first devoured the seventh-tier [Trapped Beast], I was already disgusted by its cloyingly sweet taste.

She should have guessed that whether it was a calamity or a disease, once it reached the seventh level of quality, she might experience it herself.

And the taste is most likely not very good.

The main reason is that Jiang Mian had just taken down a group of Awakened before leaving the Hunter Headquarters.

The seventh-tier items there were no problems, just like before, which gave her a sense of relief.

However, that guy really stank... even more indescribable than the smell of a trapped beast.

If I had to describe it, it would probably be rotten eggs mixed with amaranth juice, and then some rotten apples that had been fermenting for a week added in?

Jiang Miansheng leaned against the railing, utterly dejected, watching the figures disappear into the distance before forcing himself to cheer up.

"Sigh, let's go, let's get to work."

After I take down these guys, I'll hug Ye Chenyang and breathe in his warmth to soothe my wounded soul.
