Chapter 49 - 44 The Terrifying Deterrence of the Twin Vine Demon Pearl
"Miss Zhuo, the Zhuo Family has fallen to such a state, leaving only you, a woman, to desperately hold on. Why must you be so stubborn?" Zhang Wu swayed, his gaze fixed on the woman’s chest as he repeatedly gulped. "At this moment, not even Immortals can save you... If you obediently submit to me, you’ll become the Stewardess of the Black Tiger Gang. Why bother toiling away at alchemy to earn money?"
"Bah! Do you think I don’t know you’re scheming for the Zhuo Family’s Alchemy Technique? No matter how far the Zhuo Family has fallen, our Alchemy Technique will never be handed over to you or the Black Tiger Gang!" The beautiful woman glared at Zhang Wu, her eyes filled with hatred. "I warn you, if you dare touch me, the Zhuo Family’s Alchemy Technique will vanish from this world forever with my corpse!"
"It seems Miss Zhuo is still unaware of my methods. Rest assured, after I’ve had my pleasure with you tonight, you’ll willingly tell me everything!" Zhang Wu sneered, bringing the wine cup to his lips. "Besides, how could I bear to let such a delicate Little Alchemist die at my hands?"
Just then, BOOM!
A thunderous crash resounded as a large hole was blasted into the wall of the bridal chamber. Brick fragments flew in all directions, and dust plumed upwards. The sudden, deafening noise startled Zhang Wu so badly that he nearly spilled the wine all over his face.
From within the swirling dust, Lin Xuankong, wearing a conical hat and mask, stepped through the gaping hole into the bridal chamber. He looked at the stunned Zhang Wu, who had jumped to his feet, his voice as cold as ice, "Filthy wretch! From now on, you’ll have no more opportunities to defile women!"
Zhang Wu stared at the advancing Conical Hat Strange Guest. Hearing Lin Xuankong’s peculiar voice, altered by the infusion of Qi Blood, something seemed to click in his mind. His expression changed drastically. He whirled around and bolted towards the outside, screaming, "It’s that Conical Hat Strange Guest! Everyone, get the hell over here and cut him down!"
In the past ten-odd days, Zhang Wu had already entered the Early Stage of the Second Layer, his strength greatly increased. However, to his astonishment, just when he thought his power had soared and he could escape the bridal chamber in a single leap, his feet, before he could even exert force, were suddenly ensnared by thick Demon Vines, binding his legs securely.
Countless Demon Vines spread madly, continuously coiling around Zhang Wu’s abdomen.
The Demon Vine’s entanglement sobered Zhang Wu considerably. With a tremor of his hands, silvery fingernails abruptly extended, and he began slashing furiously at the encroaching Demon Vines.
