Er Pang, stand down!
Zhang Chen shouted.
This Spider Queen was simply Er Pang's bane.
No matter how many Moon Howling Wolves Er Pang summoned, they would only be strengthening Elizabeth's power in the end.
Moreover, Zhang Chen had previously observed the Spider Queen's skills.
[Flesh and Blood Reproduction]: Consumes the energy core and flesh of defeated/killed/captured prey to breed [Ghost Face Spiders]. The number of offspring is directly proportional to the target's internal energy.
This means that the prerequisite for this skill to take effect is that Elizabeth must defeat the target and have combat contact with it.
The combat power of the Moon Howling Wolves summoned by Er Pang was worlds apart from the Spider Queen.
Therefore, being reproduced was a normal occurrence.
If Er Pang were to be defeated by the Spider Queen... the consequences would be simply unimaginable.
Zhang Chen would not dare to risk losing Er Pang by letting it participate in the battle.
Step aside. As long as it didn't join the fight, it wouldn't be defeated, and naturally, there would be no risk of reproduction.
Hiyah! Hah!
Although Xiao Bai had been sent flying just now, her physical condition was incredibly robust.
After rolling for over ten meters on the ground, she was still unharmed.
At this moment, she charged forward again, her fists raining down on Elizabeth.
The latter stood firmly on the spot, not yielding an inch.
She swung her fists with the same frequency, blocking Xiao Bai's attacks while occasionally counter-attacking.
Xiao Bai had gone a bit berserk.
Her mask was pushed onto the top of her head, she had taken several heavy blows, and her body swayed from the immense force.
Yet, she refused to retreat, her eyes gleaming with excitement.
Hya~
Xiao Bai roared, her attack speed suddenly increasing by another notch.
From occasionally being on the defensive, it turned into a mutual exchange of blows.
With the two fighting in close quarters, Zhang Chen couldn't join the fray.
He also couldn't attack from a distance, fearing he might accidentally injure Xiao Bai.
He could only wait for this battle to conclude before he could take over for a war of attrition.
But it was also an opportunity. While Xiao Bai and Elizabeth were locked in a fierce battle, Zhang Chen began to carefully observe the latter's combat style and habits.
Xiao Bai's adaptability and learning ability were truly terrifying.
Through observation, Zhang Chen realized that it wasn't Xiao Bai's speed that had increased, but her rhythm.
Elizabeth was very adept at finding openings in Xiao Bai's attacks, defending when Xiao Bai attacked, and launching counter-attacks during the extremely brief intervals between exchanges.
Thus, she easily disrupted Xiao Bai's attack rhythm, forcing Xiao Bai to follow her tempo.
However, now, Xiao Bai had completely adapted to Elizabeth's attack style and was even dictating the pace for her.
Bang!
Xiao Bai swung a swift fist, directly hitting Elizabeth's face.
With a crack, her jaw dislocated.
Elizabeth was sent flying backward, rolling for quite some time before getting up.
"Oh ho, a presumptuous little ant!"
Xiao Bai mocked, mimicking Elizabeth's tone.
Squeak... squeak...
Elizabeth's jaw was dislocated, and she couldn't speak, emitting a series of squeaking sounds from her throat.
Hiss!
Six long spider legs suddenly erupted from Elizabeth's back.
Her sharp claws were like gleaming metal blades, reflecting dazzling light under the sun's rays.
Swish!
With her six legs extended, Elizabeth's speed increased again.
With near blink-and-you'll-miss-it speed, she instantly appeared before Xiao Bai.
Before Xiao Bai could react,
Her hands and six legs swung like raindrops.
Wherever her claws passed, Xiao Bai's [Nano Combat Suit 1.0] was torn into tatters,
Leaving behind bloody marks.
These injuries, though not fatal, were all superficial.
However, there were too many dense wounds, which were startling at first glance.
Thump!
Seizing an opportunity, Elizabeth delivered another powerful punch, sending Xiao Bai flying into the air.
She silently thought, "New body, here I come!"
Woah!
A black, liquid-like substance rapidly detached from Elizabeth's body and flew directly towards Xiao Bai.
"Terrible!"
Zhang Chen exclaimed in shock!
He knew the Spider Queen intended to take over Xiao Bai's body.
If that happened, the subsequent battle would be too difficult.
Even if Zhang Chen won, it would be Xiao Bai who got injured, and the Spider Queen would remain unscathed.
If he lost, he, Xiao Bai, and Er Pang would all perish here.
"Must interrupt it!"
[Flash Step]!
Zhang Chen instantly appeared in mid-air, blocking between Xiao Bai and the Spider Queen.
[Charged Strike]!
Boom! A thick energy wave blasted towards the Spider Queen.
Zhang Chen and the Spider Queen were only two to three meters apart.
At such close range, it was impossible to miss!
But the Spider Queen's body was as light as a feather, skillfully dodging the energy wave the moment it touched her.
Moreover, her momentum did not decrease as she continued to fly towards Xiao Bai.
Zhang Chen raised his Thousand Bone Blade to chop.
However, the Spider Queen's true form was like liquid. As the Thousand Bone Blade grazed her body, it was merely in contact.
As the blade swung forward,
The attacked part of the Spider Queen's body rapidly retreated.
This strike was like cutting through extremely smooth silk fabric suspended in the air, with absolutely no point of leverage!
Ugh...
Before Xiao Bai could land, the Spider Queen's true form had already rushed into her body!
It turned out that earlier in the plaza, the Spider Queen had deliberately taken over ten seconds to slowly enter Elizabeth's body, all to put on a show for Zhang Chen.
It could enter in an instant!
The purpose was to take him by surprise when using this skill!
"Damn, this is bad!"
Zhang Chen slowly floated down to the ground, looking at Xiao Bai before him with a grave expression.
Ugh... Waaah~
The Spider Queen had been inside Xiao Bai's body for only a few seconds before instantly flying out again.
Returning to Elizabeth's body.
"You are not human... What are you?"
The Spider Queen, her dislocated jaw now fixed, asked.
Xiao Bai knelt on the ground, her face contorted in pain.
It seemed that being possessed and parasitized was not a comfortable experience.
"You're meddling too much, better take care of yourself!"
Zhang Chen had no intention of giving the Spider Queen another chance to possess someone.
Although he didn't know what Xiao Bai did, she was indeed immune to possession.
But what about Er Pang?
This simple-minded fellow likely lacked the ability to resist possession!
"Let's end this quickly!" [Soul Burn] Level 9!
[Rage]!
[Frenzied Execution]!
Whoosh!
Zhang Chen unleashed all his skills at once.
His entire body was enveloped in an energy mass laced with faint blue lightning. The surrounding stones and dirt were disturbed by this powerful energy flow.
Uneasily, they lifted off the ground, hovering in mid-air.
Zhang Chen appeared like a god of death from hell, a flash of golden light in his eyes.
Then, he slowly extended his right index finger towards Elizabeth.
[Annihilation Finger]!
