Chapter 1361 249:
"Snap!"
Eventually, it turned into a pool of meat paste stuck to the eaves of the door.
"Drip... drip..."
Blood mixed with some flesh sauce dripped, landing on Shen Huaiyang's head and shoulders.
He lowered his hands, took a few steps down the stairs to avoid the filth above, then raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face with his sleeve, his chest gently rising and falling as he panted.
Fat stared wide-eyed, beginning to retreat.
The remaining three followers saw this, and they all looked astonished, instinctively wanting to retreat, but upon seeing Fat's figure, they stepped forward one by one, blocking in front of Fat.
The three members of the Zhen Family also looked surprised.
With a casual motion, killing someone in such a brutal manner instantly, this scene indeed had a huge impact.
Shen Huaiyang's pace didn't stop; after reaching the bottom of the stairs, he continued forward.
An invisible sense of oppression swept in, causing the three followers in front of Fat to start retreating cautiously.
Shen Huaiyang drew his sword, the sword light flared, and his aura was imposing.
One of Fat's followers twisted his body and instantly turned into many pieces, which fell separately to the ground.
Fat swallowed and murmured, "It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be..."
Zou Jiang, at this stage, would be somewhat familiar with the rules of Jiang Shui; normally, getting the invitation was just the first step in this wave, but how could this first step be so terrifying?
This person in front, killing one of his followers with just one move, how could they fight?
The main reason was that Fat was too caught up in the situation; he didn't realize that the two factions traveling with this wave had already obtained the invitations early, and Fat thought he was fast, one of the first batch.
Even less did he expect that those two factions had actually teamed up, using their team as mere pawns.
The task of obtaining the token from the little monster turned into a direct confrontation with the Demon King's Cave Mansion, asking half of the master.
It's just that, no matter how smart a person is, they have their own limitations, unable to comprehend things beyond their recognition.
However, Fat was also decisive, he shouted, "Run!"
Though he was fat, his speed was quite fast; he stomped his feet, and his entire body soared into the air.
Zhao Yi: "Very good Qinggong."
After all, it allowed a fat man to be as light as a swallow.
The remaining two of Fat's followers, including the three members of the Zhen Family, were also preparing to flee from here.
Actually, both sides had contact before, although they didn't fight extensively, they probed each other; Fat's followers weren't ordinary lackeys.
Shen Huaiyang knelt on one knee, right palm facing down, slapped the ground.
He opened his mouth, emitting various strange sounds continuously, like many demon beasts howling; his long hair floated up, eyes glowing green.
Originally, he truly had the appearance of an immortal Taoist, but now, he seemed like a puppet possessed by a demon beast.
However, he wasn't possessed.
He was actively using this move, completely autonomously, but this skill was clearly not learned from the Taoist sect.
The three members of the Zhen Family and Fat's three followers seemed to encounter a ghost hitting the wall; no matter how they ran, they couldn't escape this designated area.
Above, Li Zhiyuan and Zhao Yi simultaneously activated Walking Yin.
They could see the shadows of demon beasts wandering all around, forcibly demarcating this area into a Barrier.
Zhao Yi: "Now it's certain, our guess is correct."
Li Zhiyuan: "Yes, Yu Family skills."
Zhao Yi: "Then his demon beast..."
Li Zhiyuan: "It's the little Taoist."
Zhao Yi: "So ruthless, injecting his own blood into demon blood, fostering the deepest bond with a companion demon beast, Yu Family people aren't this perverse, are they?"
Li Zhiyuan: "They weren't before, but now the Yu Family has become more twisted."
When demon beasts turn masters, human ethics and taboos are no longer constraints.
Sometimes Li Zhiyuan also pondered a question: The last time he encountered Yu Miaomiao, she was dumb, but could it be... she is actually one of the smartest among today's Yu Family, since she can go out to Zou Jiang.
Fat shouted to the three members of the Zhen Family, "Let's team up, or we'll all die here!"
The three members of the Zhen Family began setting up the Array, preparing to break through the Barrier with the power of the Array.
Meanwhile, Shen Huaiyang, who had already set up the arrangement, stopped there, his gaze just watching the six people in front, yet he delayed making the next move.
Zhao Yi: "Is he pondering?"
Li Zhiyuan: "He's searching for memories."
Thanks to the line provided by Xue Liangliang, Li Zhiyuan was able to make early contact with those three patients, knowing in advance about the altered memories, a privilege that Zhao Yi didn't have.
This meant Li Zhiyuan could peel off the fog from the start, and probe into the opponent's behavioral logic.
Otherwise, he would truly think that the stationary Shen Huaiyang was enjoying watching the prey panic helplessly.
In truth, he was searching for memories.
Like during an exam, holding a reference book of example questions, looking for the answers.
Zhao Yi: "He's contemplating how to maintain the Barrier while making a move."
Li Zhiyuan: "Mm."
Zhao Yi: "At this time, they should actually collectively launch an attack on Shen Huaiyang, or send one to attack. This way, sacrificing one would break this Barrier."
Li Zhiyuan: "They're afraid; in their perspective, this is absurd."
A strongman raising his hand to kill, placing the Barrier so easily, could possibly make such a low-level mistake.
Zhao Yi: "This is our chance, when making a formal move against him, we can focus on this point."
Li Zhiyuan: "By then, he'll have had this memory."
Zhao Yi: "Mm, we can't just follow the pattern, but based on this thought, manufacture other moments that baffle him."
The Zhen Family's formation was set quickly, and by this time, they had already begun prying open the Barrier.
