Book 5: Chapter 62: What goes around comes around, (2)

Meow!

The black cat narrowly avoided the fire talisman and scurried off to the side. However, Ruan Zhans second fire talisman had also caught up. Guan Zheng could only make it flee once again. Clumps of fire sprung up, chasing the fleeing cat which let out continuous, tragic cries!

This still wont do. Repeatedly wielding the talismans will still tire him out! Xiao Xia looked at Ruan Zhan and said in distress.

Well then, Ill let you witness my methods, as well as our experience working together developed through countless fights! Wan Li lowered his head as he spoke, searching for appropriately-sized rocks.

He found a dozen or so rocks the size of tennis balls and wrapped each one with a talisman from the limestone. Then, he coordinated with Ruan Zhans fire talismans as he threw the rocks one by one towards the fleeing cat. When they landed, the wrapped talismans exploded in sparks, giving the black cat additional pressure!

Xiao Xia could see Wan Lis rapport with Ruan Zhan the moment he made his move. The moment the black cat dodged a wrapped rock, the fire talisman would appear in the most difficult to avoid places. When it avoided the fire talisman, another one would threaten it. Within a few rounds, the black cat was forced from the middle back to the pool.

Even though Im just using my arms strength, I can still persevere. No need to worry about me! Wan Li called loudly while continuing to work with Ruan Zhan to besiege the black cat. It wasnt clear who he was speaking to!

His relaxed tone sounded like he was playing a game, enraging Guan Zheng. He desperately controlled the black cat as though he held a grudge, refusing to let it get hit. However, Ruan Zhan and Wan Li worked together flawlessly. Despite all his efforts, the black cats movements became more and more restricted. The stream of vapor in his other hands had long since become a tangled mess. Ah Wu and Duan Jin were no longer being affected.

With two cracks, Wan Lis rock and Ruan Zhans talisman practically arrived at the same time. Guan Zheng made the black cat leap and twist in the air to avoid them. Although it managed to dodge the attacks, it almost fell into the water. It staggered several steps backwards.

Guan Zheng gritted his teeth and persisted, waiting for Ruan Zhans talismans and Wan Lis rocks to run out. Then, Ruan Zhan would have to use his flaming handprints if he still wanted to burn the black cat. The drain on his stamina would multiply.

Guan Zheng forced himself to stand steady, but realized Ruan Zhan and Wan Li had stopped their attacks. It seems, as he expected, that their weapons had run out. He hesitated a little, trying to judge whether it was the truth. Yet before he could decide on his next move, their attacks suddenly arrived at the same time again. Furthermore, it was the fiercest ones yet!

He hurriedly tried to dodge. In his haste to control the black cat, he was unable to maintain his balance and fell straight into the water. As the cold water covered his head, he figured they must have run out of energy. That was why they waited for a bit before throwing everything they had into their last attack. That would be how things normally played out.

This thought caused him to smile as he fell into the water. Yet before his smile could fully form, he saw a thread of blue sparks arcing through the air.

Lightning palm! The words flashed through Guan Zhengs mind. He watched helplessly as the black cat stood fully exposed having just barely dodged the rock and talisman. It was unavoidably struck straight on the tail. With a tragic cry, it fell into the water just like its master.

Perfectly calculated. Wrapped it up just as I ran out of rocks. Wan Li purposefully bragged.

Guan Zheng stood up from the water. He looked over and saw the black cat had turned back into its paper form. It floated on the water and was completely soaked. It could never be used again!Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

You probably forgot that paper isnt just weak against fire. Its also weak against water! Ruan Zhans cold voice rang out.

They hadnt been planning on burning the paper cat to begin with. Instead, they distracted him before finally blasting the cat into the water!

Having been tricked repeatedly, Guan Zheng was already speechless from anger. While controlling Huang Bo Heng, he had encountered countless challenges in the world of business. Although some people had been dealt with via his witchcraft, he had relied on his wits for the most part. But when faced with Ruan Zhan and Wan Li, he had instead been thoroughly suppressed.

He let out a roar, stirring the water with his wooden stick while also slapping at the surface with his other hand. He seemed to have gone insane. Then, he started spinning around. However, he would pause in every direction and wave his hands violently. The droplets of water launched by his movements shot out like arrows towards the four directions.

There was incessant swishing through the air as the originally soft droplets turned into sharp shards of ice that shot over like concealed weapons.

Guan Zhengs back had been facing him so he couldnt see what exactly he was doing. Yet when Guan Zheng turned sideways and cast a spell on the stick, he felt Ah Wu might not be able to avoid the attack this time. Therefore, he immediately shot a lightning palm over!

Unfortunately, he had been one step too late!

She was poisoned by my snake. How could she be ok? Guan Zheng said maliciously in Schadenfreude, ignoring his own sorry state.

We dont need any input from you! Ruan Zhan retorted, knocking Guan Zheng over with another lightning palm. His eyes were looking towards Ah Wu in concern.

She stood there with an expression of extreme suffering. Both hands clawed wildly at her body uselessly. The pain was clearly scurrying around her body, preventing her from pinpointing a specific location. Her face swiftly turned dark purple and her hands clawed faster and faster. In the end, she gripped her collar and started wailing. The pain seemed to be seeping into her bones.

Ruan Zhan wasnt able to speak. He was initially going to remind her to suppress the snakes venom, but it had spread too quickly. Before he could say anything, her face already showed signs of the venom. It was clearly too late!

The moment she died, this formation would break. More tragically, was this person who suffered for a decade due to her mistake never going to get the chance to atone?

Ruan Zhans thoughts were regretful as he looked at Ah Wu. Yet he saw that despite the tremendous pain, her feet still remained in place. She arduously lifted her hands and made some strange gestures in the air while chanting a spell through her cries of pain.

Once she was done, she trembled and knelt on the floor, giving a kowtow. When she got up again, a large bush next to her shot over as if cut off at the roots. She let out a long gasp as it penetrated into her body. The part that was still exposed was firm and straight, making her appear like a porcupine!

This change stunned everyone at the scene, including Guan Zheng. Ah Wu calmed down once this was done and stood up straight. The venom seemed to be under control and the torturous pain also seemed to have vanished.

Im going to die. She said calmly. However, this formation will not break!

Ruan Zhan opened his mouth but didnt say anything. He just let out a long sigh. Ah Wu had always been suppressed by the weight of her guilt and her fear of Guan Zheng. She didnt even dare look others in the eye normally, and spent most of her time on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Since she was so calm now, she must truly have reached the end of her life. There was no way she could be saved!

Thank you! She smiled. The dirty face under her messy hair actually contained a sort of tranquil beauty. I can finally atone for my sins. I no longer have to bear the feeling of owing a debt I can never repay.

As she spoke, she pulled at the small tree next to her. After the damage from Guan Zhengs strikes had been transferred to the tree, its bark was severely damaged, revealing its white core. Despite this, it wasnt something that could easily be moved. Yet it actually broke in the middle with a crack and fell in front of Ah Wu.

She bent over and lifted the broken half of the tree, quietly chanting something. She then forcefully stuck it into the ground, and with everyones startled cries, she dug out one of her own eyeballs and pressed it against the trunk. The eyeball didnt shatter due to the force. Instead, it was embedded into the trunk and looked at the scene in a lively manner.

Master once said that witchcraft stems from nature, and is to be used to benefit humanity and guard the peace. Once Ah Wu was done, she spoke weakly. Today, I attach my own soul to this tree to eradicate evil and purify corruption. Oh, Brother Shi Tou, come to your senses!

As her voice fell, Ah Wu fell backwards. Her body had clearly died, leaving behind the broken tree containing her soul to guard the north.

The four-way formation didnt break!

Everyone felt moved at this scene with one exception: Guan Zheng. In the blink of an eye while everyone was distracted, he had almost gotten free of the invisible bonds.

Seeing the situation, Ruan Zhan hurriedly drew in the air, wanting to renew the restrictions. Unexpectedly, he was interrupted by a cold beam of light that shot through the air. He turned his head. Duan Jin who had been acting as a bystander while guarding the west this whole time had unleashed her Yin Eye. That Yin Eye was an object of extreme Yin and coldness. When the beam hit Guan Zheng, it formed into a layer of ice that froze Guan Zheng inside.

The time has come. Ruan Zhan looked coldly at the frozen Guan Zheng. What goes around, comes around! Die!
