I'm also desperate.
Chapter 572 Iron Chain Cocoon
With a whoosh!
Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu didn't even understand what happened before she was sent flying high like a projectile, soaring over the wall and landing in the courtyard on the other side.
Amidst her screams of "Ah, ah, ah," the Qingwei below finally reacted and hurriedly reached out to catch her. Three of them working together barely managed to break her fall, reducing the impact.
Even so, Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu was drenched by the night rain, and her health points plummeted.
A glance at her health revealed that she had only 2 points left, a stroke of incredible luck that she hadn't died! This was mainly because the long-haired girl hadn't taken her seriously at all, simply tossing her away casually.
Trembling with lingering fear, Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu swallowed a pill and urged the others to quickly go back and save their comrades.
Taking the normal, rain-sheltered corridor, she hurried back to where she had been before.
Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu's pupils instantly contracted, her face turning deathly pale with fright.
She saw You Sisi, You Sisi of the Houtian First-Rate Realm, being held in the air by the long-haired girl, her neck in her hand. Her feet dangled, and she struggled desperately, her face flushed red as if she were about to suffocate at any moment.
"Sister You!
"Lord You!"
The Qingwei who followed immediately rushed forward, but before they could even reach her, they were sent flying back at an incredible speed, their chests exploding in mid-air, blood and flesh splattering everywhere as they became corpses.
Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu was now truly terrified.
Just who was this long-haired girl!
"Lord Han, save us!!"
Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu screamed again, and the long-haired girl glanced at her. That one look nearly made Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu wet herself.
Based on the previous attacks, she might not even be able to perceive the attack before she died.
As Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu trembled in fear...
Bang!!
The tightly closed door suddenly exploded open.
Amidst the flying splinters of wood, a golden afterimage slammed a fist towards the long-haired girl's face.
But the fist stopped inches away from the long-haired girl's face.
Because... the squad leader's head had already been blown apart.
The squad leader was dead again!
"Oh, this bread crust is a little interesting."
Iron chains wrapped around the squad leader's corpse. The squad leader was gradually emitting a golden light, his body recovering, but he found himself unable to move.
His eyes instantly turned red.
"The Coffin Pulling Ghoul! This iron chain, it can't be wrong, you are the Coffin Pulling Ghoul! Where is Squad Leader Ye? Did he die at your hands!"
What?!
She's the Coffin Pulling Ghoul?
Everyone was shocked, and You Sisi's mind went blank. She had been struggling desperately just moments ago, but now her face was ashen, and she suddenly gave up, her breathing gradually weakening.
"He... is he dead..."
Bai Xiaoya didn't answer their questions, but instead frowned slightly and smashed the squad leader's head open again.
But when she tried to absorb the power contained in the squad leader's blood, she found that she couldn't absorb it at all.
"Why can't I absorb it?! It's clearly such delicious power!"
As she pondered in a daze, a huge black shadow suddenly rushed out of the room, slamming into her.
Caught off guard, she released You Sisi, whose eyes had completely lost their light, as well as the squad leader's corpse.
Her body was knocked into the muddy courtyard, drenched by the night rain.
Before the ghoulified Xiao Xuedou could open his mouth and bite off her head, there was a loud bang.
Half of Xiao Xuedou's body was directly blasted apart by an iron chain, exposing his white bones as he flew backwards, crashing heavily into a doorpost, barely clinging to life.
"One by one, really..."
"I just didn't want to eat a nasty bread crust, yet you all became so smug!"
Bai Xiaoya slowly stood up, and as she walked towards them step by step, her body completely regained its cleanliness, unaffected even by the night rain.
Just as she was about to kill everyone, she suddenly seemed to receive some information, looking inexplicably surprised, and then looked at the headless corpse on the ground with delight.
"So, it's her?"
"Target, confirmed!"
She teleported to the headless corpse, grabbed it in her hand, and pressed it against her chest.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Hundreds of iron chains erupted from her body, binding Bai Da Ya's headless corpse and her body together, as if to fuse them into one, wrapping them up like a cocoon, forming a giant iron chain cocoon.
"Lord Han! You Sisi!"
Tian Er Jun arrived late on the scene.
Seeing the scene before him, he hurriedly called for people to help them up.
"You Sisi, are you alright!"
Tian Er Jun anxiously checked on You Sisi, only to find that her injuries were not serious, but she looked as if she had been struck by a ghoul curse, her face bloodless and her spirit dazed.
Seeing that it was Tian Er Jun, You Sisi gave a miserable smile: "Tian Er Jun, he's dead... Ye Se is dead..."
"Dead? How could that be? I just learned that Ye Baiyi had climbed over the wall and returned to the Qing Si, his whereabouts unknown."
"What..."
You Sisi was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized.
The Coffin Pulling Ghoul hadn't directly answered her, she had simply assumed that Fang Yue was dead because she saw the Coffin Pulling Ghoul here.
"So, she's still alive, and in the Qing Si?"
"That's right! That must be it, but for some reason, she doesn't want to see us."
"...I think I know why! The Coffin Pulling Ghoul must have been chasing Ye Se here. Ye Se didn't want us to be in danger, so she didn't join up with us! Who would have thought this [Coffin Pulling Ghoul] would be so cunning, not pursuing Ye Se, but instead coming to make trouble for us!"
Knowing that Fang Yue was not dead, You Sisi seemed to be reborn, her spirit and energy instantly recovered, becoming calm and sharp.
"In that case... quickly send people to find Ye Baiyi's whereabouts, inform him that the [Coffin Pulling Ghoul] is here, and urge him to join us and deal with this ghoul!"
The latter half of the sentence was addressed to the other Qingwei.
The crowd dispersed, searching for Fang Yue's whereabouts.
At the same time, non-combat personnel like Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu were arranged to hide in other parts of the Qing Si, while Qing Chen insisted on staying behind.
In addition, combat personnel like Squad Leader Wu, You Sisi, and Lord Han were also left behind, surrounding the iron chain cocoon.
"Lord Han, are you alright?"
Lord Han was sweating profusely, shaking his head slightly.
"Don't worry about me. Xiao Xuedou was attacked while in ghoulified state, which has a certain degree of recovery. With emergency treatment, he managed to survive. But Xiao Xuedou has completely lost consciousness. I have successfully taken over control of the body."
Although he had taken over control of the body, he also bore the injuries and pain.
No one knew what was happening with this [iron chain cocoon]. Qing Chen had been studying it for a while, but ultimately shook his head.
"Then step back, everyone else prepare to attack!"
As soon as Tian Er Jun finished speaking.
Whoosh—
An iron chain suddenly shot out from the iron chain cocoon, piercing his eyes and exiting from the back of his head!
