Chapter 706: The Unfortunate Pockface Bai

The gentle, naughty, and peaceful plants from before had all turned into terrifying monsters.

The green leaves had come together to form a sea of deadly green in the sky.

The branches were cutting and stabbing through the air like sharp swords.

The vines were jumping off the ground like vicious vipers.

The stones had come together to form tall, gnarly stone giants that possessed seemingly limitless strength.

The grass were dancing to the wind and coiling, cutting or stabbing their enemy like spirit snakes.

The flowers were shaking their petals and emitting clouds of colorful, poisonous pollen that turned their target’s skin red upon contact.

The mushrooms were exploding into spores that sank into the ground and grew into many small, colorful mushrooms that exploded once more.

The dandelions were floating around the six warriors and sinking into their flesh to grow more dandelions.

......

Right here and now, the entire forest had transformed into a deadly weapon.

Even if the six warriors were pretty strong, they were hardpressed to handle the relentless assault of an entire forest.

“Oh, it’s Pockface Bai! Tsk tsk... the pitiful bastard!”

Shangguan Hongjin snickered when she recognized some of the warriors who were defending themselves against the forest.

“You know then?” Ye Qing asked.

“Oh, I don’t just know them. We’ve been ‘acquaintances’ for a very long time.”

Shangguan Hongjin let out a cold chuckle. “Pockface Bai is—you see that ugly buffoon with pockmarks all over his face? That’s him.”

“Pockface Bai is a barefoot bandit who operates in Bei Mo. He is an unprincipled animal who abused his strength as a Half-Step Grandmaster and committed every crime there is under the sun.”

“Tsk tsk... you’re in quite the predicament, aren’t you?”

It was at this moment Pockface Bai heard a derisive snort. When he looked up, he saw three people standing not far away from him. One of them was very familiar.

“Shangguan Hongjin?!”

As soon as Pockface Bai saw Shangguan Hongjin, he immediately cried for help like a drowning man on his last breath, “Miss Shangguan, save me!”

“Save you? Heavens, why would I ever do that?”

Shangguan Hongjin was crossing her arms and enjoying the show. “I’m only here to witness your death.”

“I’ll give you anything if you save me, Miss Shangguan!”

Pockface Bai wasn’t going to give up on his one chance to survive, of course. “I have a lot of money and treasures. If you save me—if any of you is willing to save me—I can give you everything! Everything!”

“Tsk tsk... how generous of you.” Shangguan Hongjin chuckled before asking a question, “What if you were lying?”

“I swear that I would die a horrible death if I’m lying to you!” Pockface Bai swore. While he was distracted, two vines leaped up from the ground like vipers and ripped a small chunk of flesh from his stomach.

“An oath? While an oath is usually a trustworthy gesture,” Shangguan Hongjin sneered, “but we literally just saw you sacrificing your decade-old lover to save yourself. Anyone who trusts your oath would have to be stupid or ignorant, don’t you think?”

“What do I need to do to convince you to save me, Miss Shangguan? Just give it to me straight?” Pockface Bai cried urgently.

“Oh, that’s a good question.” Shangguan Hongjin said leisurely, “Gimme some time to think, will ya?”

That was what she said, but it was clear that she wasn’t thinking at all. She just wanted to see him suffer for as long as possible before he died.

“Were Miss Shangguan and Pockface Bai enemies in the past?” Ye Qing asked while rubbing his nose. Anyone in their right mind would be able to tell that Shangguan Hongjin had no intentions of saving Pockface Bai at all. The only reason she even showed herself was to kick the man while he was down.

“I guess so. I think I heard Pockface Bai ignoring the code of outlaws and robbing from the Flying Red Scarfs before. He had even killed her men,” Pedant Earth said uncertainly. “Well, it doesn’t matter. Pockface Bai is the kind of bastard not even the most blackhearted man cares to rescue, so we should just stay at the sidelines and let Miss Shangguan have her fun.”

Ye Qing smirked and spectated the scene quietly as Pedant Earth suggested.

Meanwhile, Pockface Bai had gotten some new wounds on his body. Seeds were taking root and sprouting in the wounds.
