Chapter 226 Axe
Black and red thorns came skimming along the ground and pierced their battle. Miao Yin nimbly dodged them with a few flips and switched to a new fish-cutting knife.
Flames erupted from the blade. With the hilt pointing downwards, she swung her arm, dodging the attack while simultaneously severing half of the thorns.
At this moment, exactly five minutes had passed. The Blood Guanyin that remained in Ling's body disappeared, the black fire dissipated, leaving only a pure white expanse.
Without the highly corrosive Ember Fire, White Thorn has completely reverted to its original ability, which relies solely on the plant itself.
For plant-based superpowers, fire is their natural counter.
So Miao Yin stood up, raised her hand and grabbed a thorn that had sprung up in front of her. With a forceful push from her palm, flames burst forth and spread rapidly along the thorn itself, instantly creating a fire dragon in mid-air.
Starting from this fiery dragon, the flowing magma began to boil, splashing out like water from a boiler, igniting everything in its path, and the dense thorns suffered as a result.
As a result, large areas along the highway were engulfed in flames, the terrible heat making everyone's cheeks flush red, and even melting the ice.
With many items destroyed in the fire, Bai Wendong's abilities were greatly diminished.
If this continues, she will no longer be a help to the team; she will start to harm the team.
Without the fusion of superpowers, the flames will no longer protect the thorns; instead, they will turn the thorns into barbs.
Once she got here, Ling knew there was no need for her to continue.
“It’s fate that we shouldn’t be enemies.” Ling smiled, no longer activating his powers, and walked off the road.
She gave up.
The thorns stopped growing and naturally turned to ashes after burning. The fire subsided, and they were finally able to breathe normally again.
Bai Wendong helped Song Qiming to a safer place and used a large truck to shield his body.
Song Qiming was dizzy and felt nauseous at one point, clearly suffering from a concussion. Bai Wendong stopped the bleeding from his head and told him to stay there.
"Behave yourself and don't run away again."
The red-haired boy, unusually dejected, hung his head, his eyebrows drooping: "I know, Brother Bai, you...you keep an eye on Tan Ling, she's a troublemaker."
Bai Wendong gave him a disapproving look: "...Take care of yourself first."
Meanwhile, Tu Hao's wounds had all healed.
The powerful healing ability of the Crying Wolf makes him almost tireless and never lose. Even if he can't seize an opportunity, he can wear people down until they die.
So he launched another attack.
Ji Yuanzhou's lightning also struck at just the right time, with terrifying black and white lightning appearing around them time and time again.
Miao Yin quickly realized that Tu Hao was deliberately disrupting her movements, trying to get the lightning to strike her.
The wolf's claws closed in again and again; those obsidian-like claws could easily tear through steel bars and crush a person to pieces.
He was also very fast; in just three or four seconds, he had exchanged more than a dozen moves with Miao Yin.
In the few occasional eye contacts, Miao Yin could clearly see the ruthlessness in the other person's eyes.
That's the look in a predator's eyes.
She gripped the fish-cutting knife in her hand and slashed at the other person without mercy, causing blood to splatter again and again.
In the close combat, Tu Hao's wolf claws touched her, and Miao Yin's clothes were quickly torn, revealing bloodstains on her snow-white arms.
They appeared to have fought a bloody battle, yet they left no extra marks on their bodies.
"It seems your physical enhancements aren't much better than mine," Miao Yin said with a light, provocative tone.
"If you've got the guts, don't hide. Let's see if I can tear you to shreds." Tu Hao raised an eyebrow.
They clashed quickly, kicking up clouds of dust.
To test his opponent's abilities, Tu didn't hesitate to risk having his heart stabbed again. He grabbed the opponent's shoulder blade, took a few steps back, and pressed himself into the white lightning.
A flash of lightning, and white electric current flowed down the lines of his body. He used himself as a medium to conduct the electricity to Miao Yin!
A tingling, numbing sensation exploded from the point of contact between the two, instantly spreading throughout their bodies. In the bright black and white light, Miao Yin clearly saw the killing intent in the other person's eyes.
The light suddenly disappeared, and the world was suddenly shrouded in dark spots.
Ji Yuanzhou withdrew all his supernatural abilities, hurriedly ran a few steps toward this place, and then stopped a little further away.
"...Are you all alright?"
He never really wanted anything to happen to anyone. His battle-crazed mind cleared up the moment he struck Miao Yin, replaced by a deep phantom pain in his arm.
It was this pain that stopped the lightning.
However, it was clear that the two people in front of him had no intention of stopping.
Looking at the woman in front of him who showed no reaction, Tu Hao showed a hint of surprise, but in his heart he understood and accepted the situation.
He himself could withstand Ji Yuanzhou's lightning, so Miao Yin could certainly do the same, but it would just be another failed attempt.
"Tu Hao, you know I can kill you, right?" They were getting closer and closer. Miao Yin's grip on the hilt of the knife tightened, and madness filled her eyes.
"I know, so what? Go ahead and finish me off now."
The pain in his heart intensified, Tu Hao's breathing became rapid, and his face turned pale. He was not a god; even with a knife stabbed in the heart, he would die. But he stubbornly stood there, even managing to provoke his opponent.
"what……"
Miao Yin chuckled a few times, and with a muffled groan, pulled the knife out of the other man's heart. Then, she grabbed his shoulder and stabbed him hard in the stomach.
"Ugh!" Tu Hao pushed her away, first clutching his chest to stop the bleeding, then gripping the knife, and then looking up, the weapon in Miao Yin's hand had turned into an axe.
Tu Hao: !
The woman with the bright smile twirled the axe in her hand and said in a gentle voice, "What nonsense are you talking about? I was just joking. How could I kill you so easily? At least... I'd have to try to chop you into seven or eight pieces first."
...They went too far.
Tu thought to himself, "This is bad."
He wasn't impulsive; in fact, he was frighteningly calm. But ever since he met this woman, he'd become impulsive, to the point of doing things he couldn't even understand himself.
Miao Yin twirled the axe in her hand, exuding an air of confidence and arrogance: "Tu Hao, you can regenerate limbs, right?"
Tu Hao's heart skipped a beat.
...This is not a question.
He himself was unsure whether he possessed such an ability.
Miao Yin didn't give him time to think; she was always impatient with these things and incredibly efficient.
The consequence of being hit on the head was that flames began to erupt from her body.
Unlike physical combat techniques, which can be used in hand-to-hand combat, the Mi Huo can burn everything, a reality that Tu Hao cannot avoid, making it impossible for him to make a move.
So very quickly, the axe chopped into his shoulder.
"Damn it." He gritted his teeth and gripped the handle, preventing it from going any lower.
The axe was stuck in his bone, and a knife was still stuck in his body. Miao Yin grabbed the knife again and twisted it hard. The blood that had just stopped gushed out, and the blood soaked her palm, warm like a freshly baked cake.
They were so close that even the smell of blood mingled like spices, and Miao Yin could clearly see the pain and resentment on Tu Hao's face.
Her deep brows were furrowed, her dark green pupils were unfocused and hazy, and every breath she took was a piercing pain. It was a poison to her nerves, a scene that she could savor again and again.
So Miao Yin pressed down hard on the axe, letting the crisp sound of bones breaking serve as accompaniment, causing him to lose blood until his lips turned pale, forcing him to kneel down on one knee.
Then she lowered her head and touched her forehead to his, affectionately and lovingly, as if stroking her pet wolf.
"Tu Hao, you're so beautiful," she said with a smile.
