Chapter 36 I'm Also Desperate

Fang Yue was immersed in the highly focused battle and didn't think too much. He just felt the voice was somewhat familiar.

In the soaring flames and frantic explosions, Ma Zuo's charred body flew backward.

Only then did Fang Yue look back, his brain processing for a second before he figured out the owner of the voice.

"Miao Fa?!"

"Ye-ge, Lord Ma Zuo... you, why are you fighting?!"

Miao Fa, like a maiden in the rain, wanted to shout, "Stop fighting! This isn't a dance-off!"

But soon, she thought of something more serious.

"That's right, that's right, run! Ye-ge, Lord Ma Zuo, let's run!"

Run?

With meridians broken all over his body and almost no strength left, Fang Yue just stood there, coldly looking at Miao Fa.

"Parchment!"

[Here we go! Time Reversal!!]

The injuries caused by [Raging Fire Explosion] rapidly recovered in the reverse flow of time.

Fang Yue calmly waited for his body to recover, while observing everything.

Before he was sure whether An Dong'er had been betrayed by Miao Fa, Fang Yue's attitude towards her was unclear, but he would never easily believe her words.

Unexpectedly, beside Miao Fa, there was also a blind girl, her hands and feet shackled with iron chains.

His pupils shrank, and Fang Yue immediately recognized the girl.

It was actually... Ming, the blind girl from De Yun Village!

Anger surged from his heart.

"Ye-ge? Is... is that Ye-ge-ge? Ye-ge-ge from Gu Yue Village?"

The girl, Ming, heard the conversation, and tears of excitement flowed down her face.

She tried to run forward, but tripped over her shackles and fell to the ground, crying loudly.

"Ye-ge-ge, I'm Ming, Ming-meimei from De Yun Village, save me, save me!!"

Fang Yue clenched his fists, his gaze towards Miao Fa as if looking at a dead person.

"No, it's not what you think, Ye-ge, listen to me... Ah! I'll unlock them for her, unlock them!"

Miao Fa's expression froze, and in a panic, she took out a cold, gleaming dagger, obtained from who knows where, and struck the middle of Ming's shackles twice.

Clang!

Clang!

The bracelets and anklets snapped open.

"Alright, alright, you're free, find a way to escape yourself!"

Hearing Miao Fa's voice, Ming, who was crying, was stunned.

She carefully touched the broken bracelets and anklets, shook the half-chains hanging on her wrists, and slowly turned to look at Miao Fa.

"W-what?"

Miao Fa was nervously asking when she saw Ming suddenly lower her head and bow.

"Thank you, Sister Miao Fa, for freeing me! Thank you, Sister Miao Fa!"

So naive!

Just as Miao Fa was about to wave her hand and tell her to leave quickly, she saw Ming raise her hand and swing a chain at her face.

With a loud slap, the chain struck her face, causing Miao Fa to fall to the ground, clutching her face and screaming. A deep red mark was already visible.

"What are you d-"

"Thank you, Sister Miao Fa, for saving me!"

Slap!!

Another chain, hitting Miao Fa's face hard, and this time, Ming swung the chain frantically, almost without stopping, as if trying to beat Miao Fa to death. With each swing, Ming would shout, "Thank you, Sister Miao Fa, for saving me!"

But after only a few swings, her chain was caught by Miao Fa.

Compared to Miao Fa, who had already consumed... [Human Pill], Ming, a mere ordinary person, was no match for her physically.

The only reason she had been hit repeatedly just now was because Miao Fa had been caught off guard by the suddenness of the situation.

After grabbing Ming's two chains, Miao Fa, her face covered in red welts, was about to kill Ming with her dagger in a fit of rage.

But just as this thought emerged, a bone-chilling coldness suddenly appeared from behind.

Under the gaze of that coldness, Miao Fa felt that she couldn't even move a single inch!

What is this... could this be... the legendary killing intent?

Miao Fa turned her head stiffly and saw Fang Yue's icy eyes.

"If you touch a single hair on her head, I'll twist your head off and use it as a ball."

Eep?!

S-so scary!

Ye-ge is so scary!

Miao Fa shuddered and quickly put on a forced smile, releasing her hand. "Ye, Ye-ge, I didn't mean that!"

She explained to Fang Yue, but after seeing Fang Yue's cold eyes, she faintly understood that no one would listen this time.

Seeing Ming, who had regained her mobility, relying on Fang Yue's protection, was about to whip her again, Miao Fa gritted her teeth and ran forward.

"Ye, Ye-ge, it's not what you think! I don't have time to explain now, we have to run quickly, once it comes, it'll be too late! And Lord Ma Zuo too, run!"

"Run?"

Two voices spoke almost simultaneously.

One was from Fang Yue, who had completely recovered. He smiled coldly and said,

"Even if the Heavenly King himself came today, I would still destroy Ma Zuo and this underground base!"

The other voice was from Ma Zuo, whose body was charred, clothes tattered, as he slowly climbed up.

His eyes were wide with rage, and he roared furiously, "Should I, the dignified [Twelve Seats] of the Phoenix Organization, the strongest cadre organization under [Three Black Feathers], run away because of a mere brat?"

Miao Fa immediately became anxious. "No, no, listen to me, behind us there's..."

Roar!!

Before Miao Fa could finish speaking, three enormous black figures rushed out from the darkness behind them.

The one in the middle was a mass of rotten flesh, covered with dense corpses, dissolving them like mud. At the top, there was a crack, with a red stone inside shining brightly.

The one on the left was a giant, pheasant-like aberration, with a split forehead like the Three-Eyed Lord, its crack flashing with red light, likely a newly advanced Blood-grade aberration.

The one on the right was a wall, a wall moving with the help of countless human hands! The wall was surrounded by human hands, as if imprisoned on the wall, struggling and writhing, the densely packed hands making one's scalp tingle. And inside the wall, a red light was also flashing, embedded with a red stone.

These were actually three Blood-grade aberrations!

The three great Blood-grade aberrations suddenly charged forward, catching everyone off guard.

"What's that sound?! Are aberrations catching up?! Ye-ge-ge! Ye-ge-ge!"

Ming shouted twice, then suddenly seemed to realize something, immediately shut her mouth, and groped her way to a corner, lying on the ground pretending to be dead.

The others didn't speak, only Miao Fa was running away frantically in terror.

Fang Yue and Ma Zuo cautiously consumed pills to recover their states, neither daring to act rashly.

The two of them were still in a stalemate. Even with the help of [Raging Fire Explosion], the damage Fang Yue caused was limited under the protection of [Innate Qi Shield]. Only by breaking through the [Innate Qi Shield] and seizing the opportunity to unleash a series of attacks to kill or cripple the other could he truly establish an advantage!
