Chapter 1580 288
Liang Yan's left arm supported herself, her left hand's fingers constantly twisting; Liang Li held a dagger in her right hand, the tip adjusting continuously with her sister's calculations.The sisters worked together as harmoniously as they had in the past, attempting to find a flaw in this ghostly fog.
As long as they find a flaw, the dagger would swiftly cut through, opening a way for the sisters to escape.
Their task was simply to guard the graveyard from external destruction; any changes within were not their responsibility, especially since Zhao Yi wasn't present. They had no reason to risk their lives.
But soon, Liang Yan's brow furrowed deeply: "It's changing, and quickly."
Liang Li's expression also turned somber.
A ghostly fog that can change signifies single-handed manipulation, clearly by the one about to crawl out from the cemetery.
Earlier, when the Array was blown apart, a large piece of tarpaulin plastic scattered out. Now, as the cemetery soil continued to cave in, the figure standing within became increasingly clear.
Yin Meng slowly raised her head, from her forehead unfurled black lines, spreading to cover her entire body, her eye sockets filled with swirling gray haze.
Liang Li: "This is absurd, has the bloodline awakened?"
Liang Yan: "The boss once said, although her last name is Yin, two thousand years have passed, what kind of bloodline can withstand such dilution? Moreover, her talent is extremely poor; she's gotten this far because of someone's generous sharing of Merits planning for her."
Liang Li: "Then what's happening now?"
Liang Yan: "I don't know."
Liang Li: "Why won't she let us go?"
Liang Yan: "I don't know."
Liang Li: "Whose man is the boss?"
Liang Yan: "Mine."
Liang Li: "Tch."
The brief bickering was just to ease the current tension, both sisters lowered their centers of gravity, prepared for battle, as it was clear the ghostly fog in front was making sure they couldn't leave.
Yin Meng's originally raised arm slowly lowered, pointing at them.
The sisters immediately split to the sides, leaving their original spot.
Eight thick arms burst from the soil where they had stood, endlessly clawing at the air.
But this was only the beginning. As soon as they stopped for a moment, arms appeared from every direction around them and overhead, continuing to grab at them.
Liang Li's dagger swung continuously, severing arms that fell to the ground, but new arms grew promptly.
Liang Yan drew her Soft Sword, creating a curtain of blades around her; any arms that touched it were instantly shattered, yet they kept coming.
Though there's no immediate threat, over time, even ants can kill an elephant, and their current situation isn't good. Otherwise, they wouldn't be left to guard a cemetery.
The sisters exchanged eye contact across a distance.
In the next moment,
Liang Yan bit her tongue, spitting out vital blood, turning the sword curtain crimson, breaking through the arm barrier in front of her, then patting the sword hilt fiercely, sending the Soft Sword flying towards Yin Meng like a white streak.
Liang Li slashed her own arms with the two daggers in her hands, drenching them in blood, first waving them in front, the continuous cutting sounds creating a brief vacuum among the arms, then tossing both daggers towards her sister's Soft Sword, combined to launch an attack at Yin Meng.
Not hoping to kill the enemy, or even to severely wound them, just needed to distract them, weakening their control over the ghostly fog, so they could have a chance to escape here.
After launching the combined attack, Liang Yan joined her index and middle fingers, drawing them across her vision, quickly assessing the changes in the ghostly fog, while Liang Li drew another dagger from her sleeve, nourishing its blade at her palm, waiting for her sister to determine the attack location.
However, Liang Yan's expression drastically changed, shouting: "Dodge!"
Liang Li instinctively sidestepped, but her right shoulder was still pierced by a Soft Sword, its powerful force causing her to lose balance, falling to the ground.
While cautioning her sister, Liang Yan started dodging, yet the two daggers still stabbed her chest, she barely managed to grip the dagger hilts with both hands, trying to mitigate their momentum, but was still thrown back.
"Crack!"
Everything shattered.
The brothers awoke as if from a dream, those countless arms around them vanished, as if everything was just an illusion.
But the truth was, the sister held the Soft Sword, piercing her sister, and the sister gripped the daggers, stabbing her sister.
Was it an Illusion Technique?
The sisters showed their fear in their eyes.
They were in poor physical condition, yet their minds hadn't been significantly affected. What level of terrifying Illusion Technique could instantly trap them without any resistance?
Such Illusion Technique, once cast, is almost unsolvable; even if one miraculously avoids self-harm in the illusion, this momentary distraction is enough to be killed many times in reality.
Yin Meng stepped out, walking from the grave pit.
"Puff..."
"Puff..."
The sisters decisively pulled their weapons from each other's bodies without caring about stopping the bleeding or checking injuries, preparing for one last move. Since escape was hopeless, the only option was a desperate fight; when death was inevitable, life was not worth cherishing.
"Clack..."
Just then, the ghostly fog was torn open from the outside.
Run Sheng surrounded by Evil Qi, his neck veins bulging.
On the truck, Zhao Yi told him, asked him not to watch the sisters die, and Run Sheng agreed.
However, Zhao Yi knew very well, the only pure-hearted good person in the entire Li-named team was Lin Shuyou.
