Chapter 34
“DIE, monster!”
Lu Zhishen immediately regained balance and swiped again, aiming at the monster’s abdomen. As an ancient warrior who had gone through many wars, his bladework was just as amazing as his hand-to-hand skills.
Poof!
It seemed the ghost was unfamiliar with how human warriors used blades. This time, it failed to react in time and took a direct hit.
But the sharp weapon didn’t leave a noticeable wound. It only cut off a strand of black hair that appeared as robust as a body armor, before it was stuck.
There was another flash of yellow, after which Lu Zhishen was bounced away.
Lu Zhishen failed to retaliate this time. When he lost his posture, the ghost grabbed his weapon with a claw.
Crack!
The steel weapon snapped from the middle like a wooden stick.
The injured Mandrill howled repeatedly.
Even when faced with the siege of two Extraordinary humans like Lu Zhishen, with the yellow light that covered its body both offensively and defensively, it didn’t suffer a disadvantage. However, after being stabbed three or four times by Ji Ye’s Black Serpent Sword and about half a basin of blood was sucked out, its actions began to falter.
Bam!
Seeing a chance, Lu Zhishen landed a solid punch against the monster’s back and knocked it over.
Seeing it climbing back up, Lu Zhishen and Ji Ye braced themselves when they thought the enemy was going to retaliate. To their surprise, it turned tail, stumbled into the woods, and fled.
It was clear that even a monster knew it couldn’t keep up while spilling blood like mad.
“Let’s give chase!” Ji Ye and Lu Zhishen moved at the same time.
Apart from wanting to avenge their fallen comrade, they both knew that killing an Extraordinary monster meant finding some nice rewards.
The mandril nimbly avoided its pursuers in the forest by using the trees to swing around. Yet it couldn’t stop the bleeding. A few minutes later, Ji Ye and Lu Zhishen caught up with it.
Thud.
A clean cut of the sword removed the mandril’s head, putting an end to the fight.
