Damn it! Let's smash the darkness together!-Chapter 1159 - 117: Wu Jie the Evil Monk’s Shining Moment
As soon as the sinister monk bared its fangs, the temperature began to plummet, frost rapidly spread across the windows, chilling as if about to freeze.
Xu Shu narrowed his eyes, staring at the Tai Chu Scroll typing furiously:
[Oh no! You haven’t even had time to escape, and a new enemy has already arrived on the battlefield!]
[The creature before you is a monster fused with a Yin God! She claims the title "Wu Jie" and possesses dual-path capabilities, "Esoteric Buddhism Tutor" and "Yin God·Anger," both reaching the Third Rank Late Stage!]
[Faced with such a powerful dual-path monster, and a Third Rank Late Stage "your dad" Corpse King, your situation is looking dire, it seems more lives will be lost, gah!]
"Esoteric Buddhism Tutor!"
Upon recognizing the foe’s identity, Xu Shu’s eyes widened in sudden realization.
As someone with a higher rank, "Rasham Ming King Alaya," he immediately understood how this guy dealt with "Butcher" Anzi.
It’s "plundering" and "enlightenment"!
First, use the "plundering" skill to forcefully steal Anzi’s danger perception; then allow a relatively weaker mid-tier Corpse King to approach Anzi, using the empowerment from "enlightenment" to deliver a fatal blow...
If it were Xu Shu himself, he would also use this method to ambush the "Butcher."
This guy appears very adept at combat!
Dual-path monster... monster?
Which means, this guy was human in life, transformed into a monster in death, taking the monster path primarily, unlike me!
And a Yin God with a seven-emotion suffix—quite a tonic for me!
Xu Shu instinctively licked his lips, suddenly realizing something.
This menacing bald head wasn’t male but a nun, appearing rugged but somehow familiar, like he had seen her before.
Perceiving the oddity, Xu Shu squinted and closely examined this enemy tearing through the blood web.
Just then, a whispering sound rustled by his ear.
"Bad news, the space is sealed; this monster doesn’t want us to leave, it cast a barrier! Damn, this is still in the Outer City District; how could we encounter a barrier-conjuring monster here! Talk about bad luck or is it good?!"
It was Xie Xiaochan’s voice, quite annoyed as she transmitted it secretly to him.
Xu Shu slightly turned his head, noticing the twin-tailed Daoist peering through a window not far away.
"Uh, what are you doing?" Xu Shu asked, slightly taken aback.
At that moment, everyone else was focused intently on observing the movements of the demon monk Wu Jie, poised for action.
Only Xie Xiaochan stood apart by the window, completely out of place.
"What am I doing? Didn’t we agree to escape?" Xie Xiaochan said matter-of-factly.
Earlier, while everyone was distracted by the unexpected appearance of the sinister monk, only Xie Xiaochan reacted the fastest.
Even with the enemy closing in, she hadn’t forgotten the strategy "when the wind tightens, flee," prying open the corridor’s end window, ready to jump out.
Only, she didn’t expect, upon prying it open, to find a dark tunnel beyond, far from a normal exterior.
Realizing things were amiss, she abandoned the escape route, hastily transmitting the current situation to Xu Shu.
The whole process took less than two seconds; she fled quicker than a rabbit.
This "bride" used to be so bold, unafraid of death, so arrogant! Who knew she would change, now ensuring the group’s safety...
Xu Shu looked at Xie Xiaochan, both impressed and catching a term: "barrier?"
"You didn’t know?"
Xie Xiaochan, frustrated, leapt down from the window, then speedily explained, "The two most troublesome monsters in these ruins: one, Corpse Spirits, two, Curse Spirits. But actually, what’s harder are those who can conjure barriers!
"A barrier is somewhat like a demon’s trap; within it, the ghost’s power surges!
"In short, monsters that can conjure barriers are rare even among Curse Spirits, extremely precious.
"We can’t tell if we’re lucky or unlucky, encountering such a monster here in the Outer City District where they don’t usually appear!"
"Enough talking; put on the mermaid now, we’ll need you! The Mang Worm can somewhat resist a barrier’s power!"
Knowing escape was impossible under the barrier’s sealing, Xie Xiaochan faced reality, gripped her brush tightly, and prepared for an inevitable deadly battle.
"So that’s how it is..."
Xu Shu, thoughtful, let his gaze linger on the monk’s face, intending to place the mermaid from his back onto the battlefield.
The enemy was dual-path Third Rank Late Stage, but he held no fear; the dual-path third-tier peak Wu Liuzhi was much tougher, yet he fought him too?
That time, he was fighting alone, but now, with two strong allies, Gu Yue Ming, Xiao Yingrong, both third-tier assisting, the enemy was not so formidable!
No more delay; with Anzi’s death energy still lingering, they would strike it down with full force!
As Xu Shu pondered this, a flash of memory sparked in his mind, and long-sealed memories surged back.
He finally remembered who this nun was!
They had crossed paths once!
It was long, long ago, when Shen Valley was merely an infant, just one year old, his father Shinkai Haoye, under a Xia Country guest’s suggestion, arranged a divination ceremony.
And little Shen Valley, promising as expected, amongst cherished treasures, accurately seized a lady’s undergarments, leading to Haoye’s subsequent decline ever since.
