Chapter 480: Chapter 479: The Ginsengfruit Has Disappeared! (Second Update)
Gu Yuan stood right in the center of the Wind Blade attack.
The Little Paperman reacted quickly, and before Gu Yuan could respond, it directly released sparks to block it.
With a loud "bang," the air blast sent several small stones flying nearby. If Gu Yuan hadn’t reacted quickly, he would likely have been blown away as well.
Seeing the Little Paperman that had just saved him being affected too, flipping several times in mid-air, Gu Yuan grabbed it at once.
Others busy purifying also reacted immediately.
The Wind Blade just now carried a strong killing intent, someone was looking for trouble.
The elder sent by Xie Xuzhi laughed angrily, "Such boldness, daring to act wildly right under our noses!"
Xuan Kong, who was originally at odds with them, vaguely agreed at this moment.
But soon, the ease on their faces vanished, replaced by shock and apprehension.
A glamorous middle-aged woman appeared, but she was nothing to them.
They were shocked because this woman with a beautiful face was wearing nothing but a large red dress in such cold weather.
Her exposed arms were like withered branches, and behind her was a halo that followed her like a shadow.
Yet, that halo was black.
All signs proved that this person was no longer human; they were quite powerful, but the person before them was clearly superior!
"Who are you?"
Zhu Qing sneered at the crowd, thinking that if it weren’t for these people, she would have killed those she loathed and hated long ago, then devotedly served the Evil God.
But now, everything was ruined by these people, making her years of waiting a joke.
"I’m here for your lives, today, no one will leave here!"
Zhu Qing was one of the prodigies of her era, not to mention her age had long surpassed a hundred, her strength unfathomable.
Whether it was the elders sent by Xie Xuzhi or the people from Heavenly Dao Village like Xuan Kong, before Zhu Qing, they were just ’children.’
Faced with the inquiry from Xuan Kong and others, she had no intention of revealing her identity or background.
Towards those she loathed, Zhu Qing was best at tormenting them, leaving them in terror and despair, unable to rest in peace.
Zhu Qing’s stance was indeed intimidating, especially the aura she emitted, which was particularly creepy, causing infinite apprehension among those present.
In a situation where the other’s background can’t be probed, constant pressure will gradually agitate the ’weaker’ side.
In a duel between experts, the one who loses composure first is the one who reveals defeat first.
The plan is good, but it can’t withstand unexpected events.
Having witnessed Zhu Qing, the Little Paperman immediately flew out to inform everyone of Zhu Qing’s identity, "She is Zhu Qing, one of the culprits who broke the sealing here..."
Even before Zhu Qing’s identity was unveiled, Xuan Kong and others were already apprehensive, but they never dreamed.
The middle-aged woman with a mutated body before them was actually the legendary Zhu Qing.
Several people here, their ages similar to Elder Gong, being able to follow Xie Xuzhi, naturally had access to many sources of information.
When Xu Wen’s group rose to fame, they were still in diapers, constantly mentioned by elders or mentors in their families.
It could be said, Xu Wen and Zhu Qing were not only idols envied and admired in the young minds of these people, but also role models and paragons for their parents’ generation.
Now, hearing and seeing their childhood idol become an adversary, even reduced to being a lackey of the Evil God, everyone felt a pure part of their hearts had collapsed.
At their age, it’s fair to say they are old foxes, the few pure parts left in their hearts are genuinely scarce.
Now, the idol has crumbled, several couldn’t hold back, tears welled up in their eyes.
Now they seem to understand the feelings of their younger family members, crying and lamenting over the downfall of certain entertainment stars.
Having her true nature revealed, Zhu Qing noticed the existence of Little Papermen.
This instantly reminded her of how Xu Wen was driven out of his Heart Demon by these guys, nearly losing himself.
Seeing an enemy makes one particularly resentful, making Zhu Qing not want to kill those who disrupted her plan, but rather tear these annoying Little Papermen to pieces!
"I was looking for you all originally, now I don’t even need to bother finding you!"
As she spoke, Zhu Qing formed a seal with her hands, her gaze fierce, as if the originally gentle wind had been forcibly infused with power.
It began to become overbearing, ferocious, tearing through the air, emitting sharp explosive sounds.
"Be careful!"
Countless Wind Blades rushed towards them.
Those scattered around, stones soaked in Death Energy and Evil Energy and incredibly hard, were sliced into sugar cube-sized blocks when touched by the Wind Blades.
The cutting surfaces were not only neat but extremely smooth, as if polished by precise instruments.
This wave of attack came fast, accurate, and fierce, everyone could only flee in embarrassment, but just after dodging a few Wind Blades, more followed.
Soon, people got injured, the Thunderbolt Team members were the first to be wounded, though their combat strength placed them at mid-upper level within the Xuan Sect.
Yet here, they seemed as fragile as lambs to the slaughter, with no ability to fight back.
Blood gradually dripped onto the ground.
"We can’t go on like this, these Wind Blades are too strong, we have no way to block them, everyone must use their trump cards otherwise we’ll die here sooner or later!"
A "pop" sound echoed.
Another Magic Artifact on Gu Yuan shattered. At this moment he couldn’t worry about feeling pity, the net-like Wind Blades were making it hard for him to breathe while dodging.
Seeing many injured on their side, with Gu Yuan and others’ Magic Artifacts disintegrating like firecrackers, Xuan Kong took action.
He directly threw out a string of Prayer Beads from his wrist, "Drag the wounded to the back!"
Others who could barely protect themselves, seeing Xuan Kong produce such a formidable Magic Artifact, also ceased holding back.
One by one, they summoned their Magic Artifacts to resist the oncoming Wind Blades.
Gu Yuan could finally catch his breath, quickly looking around himself, earlier he had grabbed the Ginsengfruit to protect it.
But now, the Ginsengfruit was nowhere to be seen!
