Chapter 4305: 5.0057 Human-Headed Lion-Bodied Beasts
Mo Lian, with quick hands and eyes, pulled his wife into his embrace, preventing her from leaping forward to slash the Ghost Face Hall Master's neck.
Although the little one was quite strong, she was clearly not Gong Songfeng's match yet.
To deal with cunning and intelligent people like Gong Songfeng, it was naturally best to let idle people like Mi Yan and Feng Chen handle it!
In fact, the entire Allure Island trembled and swayed in this terrifying and dense explosion.
The streets were crisscrossed with gullies and deep trenches.
Feng Chen and Mi Yan had already seized the chaos to swiftly flash to Gong Songfeng's side, attacking him without a word.
Gong Songfeng was already struggling to handle Immortal Venerable Peach Blossom alone, let alone with Mi Yan joining the fun.
This Hall Master Gong had no choice but to retreat repeatedly.
As he dodged and parried, two figures flashed to Gong Songfeng's side.
Fan Meng, with a stern face devoid of any expression, raised the razor-thin flying knife in her hand, blocking Saint Son Mi Yan for a moment. Then, she and Fan You leaped forward together, naturally taking over Saint Son Mi Yan's offensive.
Following a thunderous sound of galloping hooves,
At the street entrance, a large number of human-headed lion-bodied beasts suddenly appeared. They grotesquely dragged the body of a male lion, but their heads, like pumpkins, were strangely affixed to their torsos.
They had no necks, making their overall appearance unsettling.
Qiao Mu had seen these creatures before when viewing sculptures in the underground village. Like the harpies she had seen in the Phoenix Wood Forest, these were products of Heaven's Will, cultivated through deformed and improved medicinal liquids.
"Which rank is that cultured corpse puppet?" Qiao Mu suddenly asked.
Hall Master Gong, who was fully focused on dealing with Immortal Venerable Peach Blossom, was startled and couldn't help but turn to Qiao Mu. "What?"
Grandmaster Qiao's face was impatient. She furiously launched dozens of attack talismans directly at Gong Songfeng.
"The corpse puppet that plays the zither."
If Gong Songfeng were to dodge her attack talismans, he would inevitably suffer a heavy blow from Immortal Venerable Peach Blossom who was pursuing him from behind.
So, he could only turn to face the ethereal Immortal Venerable Peach Blossom, allowing the dozen or so attack talismans to land on him.
A burst of exhilarating explosions reminded him of the scene in Red River Canyon that day.
On a rainy day, the little girl threw him a continuous mother-child explosive array along with a lightning-attracting talisman. At that time, it truly shocked him... it was exhilarating. Compared to these dozen talismans today, the little girl was showing mercy.
"What rank is the cultured corpse puppet? Isn't he under your command?" Qiao Mu persistently asked.
She hadn't seen that cultured corpse puppet during today's attack on Allure Island, indicating that he hadn't come with Hall Master Gong.
"That would be Sixteen from the Flying Heaven Hall."
"Flying Heaven Hall." The little stoic murmured these three words, then nodded, indicating she understood.
"Mu Qingya has a backup plan," the little stoic said in a low voice.
Based on her understanding of this old rival, Mu Qingya's move would certainly not be so simple.
That Sixteen was likely just a reconnaissance probe.
Mo Lian curved his lips. "Whatever her plan is, let her come, and she'll die."
Originally, if she had remained hidden, no one would have noticed her.
But now, she had appeared in the open. If this weak chicken, who had no cultivation, could still harm them, despite their wariness, wouldn't that mean their intelligence was touching?
"Crack, crack!" The cracks in the street ground suddenly began to widen with the continuous stomping of the human-headed lion-bodied beasts.
Qiao Mu turned to look at the path they had come from, only to see thick smoke rolling in, and a group of neither human nor beast creatures moving towards them.
