Stronger with More Jobs-Chapter 230 - 164: Martial Artist Advancement Requirements—Red Head, White Body!
Fang Qingyu’s blade light rose again, trying to stop him!
But it was too late!
Shhhh!
The mask was ruthlessly torn off by himself, revealing a pale, withered face, stitched like a broken doll.
The corner of the mouth twisted upwards in an extremely eerie manner. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Revealing an inhuman, distorted "smile."
Immediately afterwards, the Adam’s apple moved violently!
"Crack!"
A subtle but chilling sound of breaking emerged.
The light in the man’s eyes extinguished instantly, his body collapsed to the ground as if drained of all bones, lifeless.
He cut himself off!
A Mystic Martial Artist at the Peak of Profound, with a powerful modified body, ended himself without hesitation!
Fang Qingyu’s blade halted mid-air...
The eyes of all three were filled with confusion.
Peak of Profound, just one step away from a Martial Arts Grandmaster, a pillar anywhere, yet tamed or rather controlled to such an extent?!
But just as the trio’s minds were seized by this bizarre suicide...
Rumble——!!!
An earth-shattering, violent tremor more intense than ever before erupted without warning from deep within their passage.
As if a Primordial Giant Beast, thoroughly enraged,
was madly crashing and tearing at the rock layers at the end of this passage!
"Retreat!"
Jiang Wei’s little face tightened abruptly, devoid of innocence, now replaced by unprecedented murderous intent and gravity!
The small hand clenched Fang Qingyu’s lapel tightly, her gaze fixed on the source of the violent shaking deep in the passage!
Fang Qingyu had absolute trust in Jiang Wei’s intuition!
No verbal explanation was needed, that bone-deep sense of foreboding was tangible!
"Go!"
Fang Qingyu roared, moving faster than he could think!
His left hand, like lightning, scooped up Jiang Wei, while his right hand grabbed the icy wrist of Wei Banmeng beside him, bringing along the mutated arm.
Then lightning exploded beneath his feet, his body transforming into a shadow wrapped in leaping arcs of electricity.
Bang——!!!
With a speed more terrifying than before.
Pulling Wei Banmeng, holding Jiang Wei, they madly retreated along the path they came!
Almost at the same instant as their explosive retreat!
Boom!!!
Snap——!!!
At the end of the passage, where the violent shaking originated, the barrier covered in thick flesh membranes and rock shattered and collapsed like thin ice pounded by a ten-thousand-ton hammer!
Red!
Dazzling, scalding, a red so intense it seemed it could ignite the soul!
A snake-shaped head so massive it was suffocating, its protruding part almost filling the entire tunnel!
Covered in molten lava-like solidified red Scale Armor, each piece flowing with dark golden thick Energy, exuding a terrifyingly fierce aura!
Two eyes like molten lava lakes, burning with overwhelming pain, anger, and pure madness, instantly pierced through the rolling smoke and locked onto the three figures frantically retreating!
White body!
Behind that ferocious, blazing head, an enormous body paler, more lifeless than the tunnel’s flesh walls, seeming to be constructed of the purest "white," created a strange and terrifying contrast with the blazing red!
Ancient Fierce Beast...
Peng Snake appears!!!
"Mooo——!!!"
A terrifying roar, blending a muffled bovine bellow with a venomous screech like stone splitting, erupted at close range in the narrow space!
The horrifying sound wave, like a tangible Heavy Hammer,
carrying a stifling rancid wind and scorching wave, swept in like a landslide and tsunami!
Buzz!
Fang Qingyu seemed to be struck heavily, his Protective Starlight Field fluctuating wildly, he groaned, and a trace of blood instantly seeped from the corner of his mouth!
Yet his retreating speed showed not the slightest delay; rather, he accelerated again with the impact!
The orange-red flames around Jiang Wei in his arms surged, forming a resilient barrier.
Wei Banmeng’s eyes were as cold as millennia-old ice, twin blades crossed before her, dark purple energy flickered erratically, enduring the impact of the sound wave, her form pressed tightly against Fang Qingyu, synchronizing their fast retreat!
The Abyss’s gigantic mouth of the Peng Snake suddenly opened, revealing interlocked teeth like towering peaks.
The raging vertical pupils first locked not on the three retreating figures, but on the body of the Mystic Modified Martial Artist who had just ended himself on the ground!
Like a dragon overlooking ants in the dust.
The crimson colossal mouth inhaled sharply!
Whoosh——!
A powerful suction force manifested, forming a visible swirl in the air!
The Mystic Martial Artist’s body, along with the severed arm, rubble, slime, instantly swept up by invisible force, flew towards the gaping Abyss’s mouth without resistance!
The enormous head of the Peng Snake merely advanced slightly, engulfing the body along with the debris in one gulp!
The sound of bones crushing reverberated through the passage.
After swallowing the body, the dark golden vertical pupils of the Peng Snake, indifferent as if regarding dead matter, once again swept towards Fang Qingyu and the others at the passage corner, about to exit its sight.
Those eyes were cold to the extreme, like a glance at insignificant dust.
With a hint of irritation at being disturbed.
Then, without a trace of reluctance, that enormous, despair-inducing head retracted suddenly behind the shattered rock wall like a retreating tide!
Rumble... Under some immense force, the shattered rock wall began to writhe quickly, closing up, healing...
Inside the passage, only violently swirling dust remained.
A pungent mix of scorched stench and blood scent, along with that indelible violent pressure in the air, left like a brand, making one’s heart tremble.
Fang Qingyu, holding Jiang Wei and pulling Wei Banmeng, stopped at the corner of the passage.
The faces of all three bore expressions tinged with the pallor of surviving a death-defying speed, and deep in their eyes was the monumental shock of confronting an ancient monstrosity they struggled to conceal.
