Chapter 248 The Yan Family Makes a Move
Upon entering the room and seeing the bone spears scattered all over the floor, he realized the situation was dire, so he quickly pulled out a few and aimed them at the spears.
Akame's steps were light and rhythmic, as if she were dancing on the roof. In contrast, the rough and savage merfolk moved very crudely. Some of them even managed to put half of their foot through the roof when they stepped on it. Zhong Ming could see this clearly from below.
"Die to me!"
Zhong Ming picked up a bone spear and threw it upwards with all his might.
The bone spear pierced the body of the merman with precision. The merman, who was in the early stage of Qi Refining, was not yet proficient in using spiritual power and fell off the roof in an instant.
Seeing that he had succeeded in his attack, Zhong Ming rode his sword out, and the mother and child swords rushed out of the house through the gap and hovered on the roof.
With both hands, he picked up bone spikes and spears and threw them upwards. The weak were severely injured, and even the strong felt as if they had been hit hard by a battering ram, and were in unbearable pain.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Akame fired a shot at face-to-face, pinning the opponent to the rooftop with a single arrow, and even had the chance to retrieve the bow and arrow for reuse.
However, the situation was only significantly advantageous in the early stages of the battle.
Soon, the side wall was blown apart, and the second captain and Yue Kaishan rushed up to fight them.
Zhong Ming wasn't the only one who could control weapons; spinning hidden weapons and shuttle-like bone spears, aided by those with a keen eye, could turn, stealthily move, and descend from the sky.
Despite her best efforts to dodge, Chi Tong's robe was still pierced, injuring her flesh. A three-inch-long gash appeared on her waist, and blood gushed out, soaking her clothes.
The merfolk fought for a while, risking being impaled on bells, before suddenly becoming alert. Wouldn't they disappear if they just jumped? Could the holes in the roof really see their movements? And if they could see clearly, would the enemies below react in time?
So, several merfolk leaped at Akame, inflicting several more horrific wounds on her.
Just as they were preparing to finish off the archers in one fell swoop, a large hole suddenly exploded in the roof.
Zhong Ming leaped out of the cave, and the cold snap in the late spring, acting as a long pole weapon, could cover more than half of the narrow area on the roof.
Why did we come up here? Simply because we've run out of bone spears below.
The spear tip gleamed coldly, and the twin swords shone like streaks of light from the sky, instantly unleashing a bloody storm on the rooftop.
......
Several people watched from a distance, hiding in a small attic. The house looked like it was only one story high, but it actually had a closed second floor. They poked a few holes in the wooden wall and watched with great interest.
"Oh dear, you fools! Can't you use bone arrows or arrow rain? Look, you tried to block to the left, ouch, you're going to die! Are these merfolk really good at close combat?"
The slovenly man watched with great excitement, repeatedly making sarcastic remarks. The man named An Yun reminded him in a deep voice, "Keep your voice down, or you'll be discovered."
"Hey, don't worry, the array is set up, no sound will be heard. Hey, isn't this a hero saving a beauty? Don't let the ugly boy end up winning the beauty instead of killing her... Wow, this kid is pretty cool! Is the girl using him as a weapon?"
The man was practically ready to set out two plates of sunflower seeds and peanuts to eat; this was much more fun than a normal assassination mission.
"Hey, do you think one of the young ladies from the Yan family has taken a fancy to this kid, but he's as dumb as a rock, making the young lady hate him and want to hunt him down?"
"Shut up, it won't kill you to say less."
An Yun wished he could tear his mouth apart; if these things got back to the higher-ups, they would suffer greatly.
"Most of the merfolk around here have been lured over, but their fighting strength still seems insufficient. Should we try to lure over the elite forces that are attacking the inner city as well?"
"Are they crazy? We can only fight three or four merfolk at the late stage of Qi Refining, let alone a whole group of them. We can't even escape ourselves, and they dare to lure us here?"
The powerful merfolk are attacking the inner city of Jade City. They don't care about the things of ordinary people; they want to rob the things of cultivators.
Soon, Captain Dark Cloud could no longer contain himself. He pulled a merman bone spear from his storage bag, kicked the slovenly man, and said, "Prepare to make your move. Take me there stealthily."
"Ah, I haven't seen enough yet."
The disheveled man muttered a couple of things under his breath, then started gesturing wildly in the air, looking like a crazy idiot. But a few moments later, it was as if he cut through the air, then disappeared inside, sewed up the cut, and vanished into thin air.
An Yun vanished in a flash, leaving behind only a stunningly beautiful woman and an ordinary, easily overlooked man, alone in a room.
The atmosphere became awkward.
......
Matt wielded his knife cleanly and efficiently, quickly finding some of the enemies' weaknesses in the fierce battle. Besides their eyes, their mouths were also very easy to pierce.
He wielded a knife in one hand, employing a wide and sweeping fighting style. While the enemy was frantically parrying, the cone-shaped weapon in his other hand always managed to seize the opportunity to precisely stab the opponent in the mouth, penetrating from the chin directly into the head.
Not only that, he was also skilled in using poison. Some of the merfolk had inadvertently inhaled a small amount of a unique poison from the continent during the battle between the two Golden Core cultivators. Their bodies were still numb and had not fully recovered. Now, with the addition of some new poison, they could not bear it at all.
If it weren't for the giant, ever-circling cross-shaped dart that constantly interfered with him, the merman's losses would have been far greater.
In the midst of such a fierce battle, he did not notice that several footprints had appeared on the blood-soaked ground.
They seemed to realize this themselves, and soon began to move over the corpses.
Merfolk, who live in the water year-round, have scales that are extremely hydrophobic, so blood hardly gets stuck on them.
Zhong Ming is the Yan family's primary target. Reliable intelligence indicates that he is wearing a very hard tortoise shell. They must get as close as possible and then attack his head to try and kill him in one blow.
A foul-smelling wind swept across the land, which was filled with the scent of death. The complex buildings, forged by human wisdom and sweat, gradually disappeared, and the land became flatter and flatter, allowing the wind to roam freely.
Zhong Ming found that damned weapon wielder; to be precise, he couldn't help but jump out.
He roared, and seemed to be in the late stage of Qi Refining, perhaps the strongest here.
To this day, Zhong Ming still doesn't understand why these merfolk are acting as if it's a fight to the death. How many did they kill? Ten? Twenty?
Countless low-ranking merfolk have died here. If they were a mob, they would have scattered and fled long ago. If they were an army, they would not have traded so many casualties for the injuries and exhaustion of the human ranks.
Zhong Ming sensed something was wrong, but his eyes were drawn to the large scales on the merman's chest.
Shiny, large and smooth, like dragon scales...
Hmm, it brought back some not-so-pleasant memories.
He adopted an attack stance, employing the tactic of first depleting the opponent's spiritual power, primarily targeting the eyes to force him to change his posture and become exhausted from parrying.
"I will destroy your name, the name of the soldiers of Yunzhou!"
Zhong Ming roared, his moves changed, and the mother and child swords moved in response.
At that moment, a tile behind him moved slightly.
