Chapter 120: Chapter 77: Bisecting Skulls on Twin Peaks! Giant Whale Gang!_i
Whoosh!
The next instant, the woman in white lunged at Su Changkong with a speed more than double that of before. Her sharp claws, capable of tearing apart metal, interwove into a dense web of shadows, clawing at Su Changkong’s surroundings, her frenzied manner as if she intended to tear him to shreds on the spot.
In the face of the woman in white’s tempestuous offensive, Su Changkong remained unflustered. His body swayed with an incredibly minimal motion to dodge.
“Puff puff puff!”
Su Changkong was like a nimble leaf, blowing about in the strong wind, the series of claw shadows failing to even touch his clothing!
“Amazing… What brilliant footwork!”
The hearts of the other martial artists on the boat couldn’t help but quiver; many among them practiced martial arts, yet Su Changkong’s footwork, refined to the utmost degree, left them feeling as though it was unattainable. After Su Changkong’s Five Animal Frolics reached the Eight Realms, it became several times stronger than before. Both his offensive abilities and footwork were exceedingly rare!
“This woman who resembles a demon monster… it’s strange, it’s as if she’s never practiced martial arts. Her moves are too rough, entirely reliant on instinct.”
Su Changkong’s body moved with the wind, agile like a deer, swift like a bird; he frowned slightly, finding the woman in white not as terrifying as he’d imagined.
The woman in white’s speed and strength surpassed those of a Body Refinement Great Achievement martial artist by more than one level and might even slightly outmatch the once Blood-Refining Su Changkong. However, her moves were too repetitive, like a brute with only strength!
Against ordinary martial artists, even those at the level of Body Refinement Great Achievement, she would be overpowering. But when facing a master like Su Changkong, she appeared somewhat clumsy and inadequate!
“Finish her!” Su Changkong didn’t want to entangle with the woman in white too much. He decided to slay her first and talk later!
Five Animal Frolics. Bear Leans on the Mountain!
Seizing an opening in the woman in white’s attacks, Su Changkong’s body, seemingly clumsy, was in fact focusing strength into his torso. He thrust forward with his shoulder, like a giant bear crashing into trees and mountains, robust and powerful.
“Bang!”
The impact of Su Changkong’s charge immediately scattered the woman in white’s offensive. She staggered backward, unsteady on her feet. A regular person, even a Qi-Blood Realm martial artist like Liu Bairen, would have been left with broken bones after such a hit. But the woman in white only lost her balance—her body seemed as tough as iron.
“Die!”
Just then, Su Changkong’s True Qi concentrated within the veins of his arms. His forearms undulated as his muscles bulged. Hands outspread, he delivered a brutal Twin Peak Through Ears strike from both sides towards the woman in white’s head.
His broad palms, like two massive hammers, crashed onto either side of the woman in white’s skull. Immense force exploded, compressing under the powerful strike of Su Changkong’s palms charged with True Qi. Even steel would be twisted and deformed under such a blow!
“Crack!”
The air around them vibrated briefly. Despite the woman in white’s steel-like fortitude, capable of withstanding slashes of swords, the severe blow to her head produced the sound of breaking bones, causing her head to dent and warp as blood seeped from her eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.
With unsteady steps, the woman in white retreated, swaying. A look of bloodthirst had been replaced with a tinge of panic on her face-the man in the black, ape-faced mask demonstrated a strength the likes of which she’d only rarely encountered since becoming this way!
“Still not dead?”
Even Su Changkong felt a surge of alarm—how could she still be capable of moving after such a serious head injury?
“Gargh!”
The woman in white, her head twisted and deformed, seemingly came to her senses and let out a strange wail. She retreated continuously and with a leap, cleared the railing of the deck, plunging into the sea, splashing water around.
“She escaped?”
Su Changkong immediately reached the railing and looked down only to find that the woman in white had sunk into the water and disappeared without a trace.
This made Su Changkong furrow his brow-he hadn’t expected the woman in white to be so bizarre, still capable of fleeing after sustaining a severe head injury. Of course, the main issue was the sea; once she jumped into the water, Su Changkong couldn’t pursue her, as there might be unpredictable dangers in doing so.
“Is this creature really a demon monster?”
Su Changkong’s heart weighed heavily with concern-impervious to sword and axe, with a tenacious life force, still able to flee even after a serious head injury!
“Many… many thanks for your aid in driving her back.”
At that moment, a voice roused Su Changkong from his thoughts. It was the voice of the ship’s owner, a burly man wearing a wooden mask. He now expressed gratitude toward Su Changkong, at the same time inwardly astonished by the presence of such a formidable expert on board.
“Hmm, no matter. Hasten the ship, back to the shore!”
Su Changkong’s hoarse voice came out lowered, making him sound not young, instructing the burly man to steer the ship back to shore.
“Yes.”
Having just encountered the woman in white who resembled a demon monster, the burly man naturally didn’t dare linger. He quickly instructed the others on the ship to set sail for home.
“Was that really a demon monster just now?”
“Don’t know… Thankfully, we had him on board, or our blood would have flooded the deck!”
The other customers attending the Ghost Market all looked at Su Changkong with a mix of respect and fear.
This Ghost Market was supposed to operate as usual, starting on time, yet no one had foreseen tonight’s mishap—a fearsome creature, suspected to be a demon monster, appearing on the ship, attacking everyone.
And the man wearing the ape mask, seemingly of considerable age, managed to grievously injure her and force her to flee in just a short period, with a few moves. The onlookers were stunned!
Though attracting public attention was not what Su Changkong desired, the woman in white had attacked him, leaving Su Changkong no choice but to strike back. Fortunately, everyone present had concealed their identities and faces, and no one knew who anyone was.
