Chapter 279: 182. Huge waves surge! Yuan Dongzhi is defeated!
On the other side of the coastal forest.
Yuan Dongzhi’s battle with the hunchbacked masked man had reached a fever pitch.
The aftermath of their clashes caused the ground to break apart and rocks to shatter, trees to snap and birds to scatter.
“Buzz... Buzz... Buzz!”
Yuan Dongzhi controlled tens of thousands of water blades, shooting them towards the hunchbacked masked man with a momentum that blocked out the sky.
With just a thought, the hunchbacked masked man commanded thick vines to form a gigantic protective barrier, blocking all the incoming water blades.
Then, he immediately directed these vines to shoot towards Yuan Dongzhi at high speed, launching a fierce counterattack.
Yuan Dongzhi was not intimidated in the least. She promptly lifted the forty-meter water blade in her hand and, with several consecutive strikes, cut all the incoming vines.
At the same time, more water blades separated from the surging water column beneath her feet, firing like machine-gun fire towards the hunchbacked masked man atop the trees, aiming directly for his head.
Alas, all were blocked by the vines, failing to harm the hunchbacked masked man in the least.
The hunchbacked masked man countered again.
His eyes focused, and in the next second, the towering trees in the forest surged towards Yuan Dongzhi, forming a massive cage of trees, as if to trap her and beat her down.
Yuan Dongzhi frowned and lifted all the water from the stream beneath her feet into the air, forming a large water membrane to fend off the continuous vine attacks.
Simultaneously, she created numerous water blades on the surface of the water membrane, sharp enough to cut through iron, slicing all the incoming vines.
However, there were just too many vines.
No sooner were the old ones cut than new ones took their place.
The offensive showed no sign of weakening.
On the contrary, Yuan Dongzhi, in a defensive stance, was seeing her defenses steadily diminish.
The vines controlled by the hunchbacked masked man had many small holes split open on them.
Each time they lashed against the water membrane, they absorbed a large amount of water.
“Every day, you suppress the very nature of being born human, which is utterly laughable.”
The hunchbacked masked man continually fed his philosophy to Yuan Dongzhi, attempting to assimilate her.
As an elder in charge of personnel within the Divine Plant Cult, he excelled at recruiting people into the cult.
With his proud, persuasive tongue, he had covertly recruited many human fighters into the cult.
Now, he wanted to recruit Yuan Dongzhi.
Unfortunately, Yuan Dongzhi was disdainful and snorted, “Ha, you spout bewitching nonsense.”
Suddenly, the dragon horns on her head radiated light, drawing a massive amount of underground water to the surface and toppling all the towering trees surrounding her.
“You won’t shed a tear until you see the coffin.”
Seeing Yuan Dongzhi’s refusal to join the cult, the hunchbacked masked man’s smile faded.
Afterward, with just a thought, he controlled more vines to surge towards Yuan Dongzhi, aiming to deplete her newly acquired water sources in the same manner.
Yuan Dongzhi did not sit idly by; she gathered countless water arrows and shot them explosively towards the hunchbacked masked man.
This exchange continued for over ten minutes.
Just as the battle escalated,
all of a sudden, both rare-level fighters ceased their combat in a mutual understanding.
One stood atop a surging water column.
The other stood atop a hundred-meter towering tree.
At that moment, both unexpectedly turned their gaze in the same direction.
It was the direction of Lin Zichen.
Since their appearance in this coastal forest, both fighters had been diverting part of their attention to Lin Zichen, constantly monitoring his movement.
Just now, both rare-level fighters sensed that Lin Zichen had actually won against the fox-eared girl.
Immediately, their faces were full of shock, finding it hard to believe.
“To be able to fight and defeat a physically stronger Sixth Order fighter and a spiritually powerful Fox Demon with the body of an ordinary Ninth Rank...
