Chapter 94 - Incinerate Him

The ground where the chameleon laid shook. The powerful waves Xinyi emitted caused an earthquake. Even within a great distance, the villagers could feel the earth rumbling below them. 

The earth went still but a minute after the people saw the earth trembled again, not because of another earthquake but tremors caused by an abnormal event in Fengfu. There was a sudden panicked rush of animals from a hundred miles surrounding the mountain. Even house pets left their owners and rushed off.

The creatures' eyes had only one direction, the mountain. They were united with their aim, to respond to the Sorceress summons.

The snake that once helped Xinyi looked up towards the cave and snickered devilishly. "It has sssstarted." He slithered his way out from his lair for he could not afford to miss this significant event in history. 

Back in the cave. 

"What... Who... are... you?" The chameleon struggled to speak as Xinyi strangled his thick neck using the Hutyuns. She looked him dead in the eye. So cold, piercing through his soul.

Xinyi raised a hand and a small flaming white ball formed on it. She lifted another hand and the Hutyuns effortlessly followed her movements, raising the chameleon up in the air. Her hand went higher. So thus the weakened chameleon. 

The hand with the fire moved toward the chameleon's face. She would burn him alive. Looking at the flame that would roast him to death, the chameleon's skin color blinked multiple times into different shades as he struggled to move but... the Hutyuns' grip was too strong. 

I refuse to die like this! Not in the hands of my grandfather's enemy. He cried deep inside but only let out choking sounds.

As she was about to incinerate him, the chameleon's tail wriggled from the Hutyuns' hold and hit Xinyi with it. His attempt was not to damage her. Rather, to distract her and set himself free. He thought it was effective since Xinyi moved and the fire in her hand vanished.

After relieving himself from that deadly hold, he backed away a little and prepared to attack once more. 

"You think I will be defeated that easily by the likes of you?" He squealed and pounced unto her but… it was no use.

The Hutyuns instantly formed into a thorny whip in Xinyi's hand. She aggressively lashed the whip at him. Every hit was heavy, making deep cuts and pulling the chameleon's thick skin of its flesh. Blood dripped from the whip while the chameleon screamed in pain. 

It seemed Xinyi was not satisfied with the chameleon's suffering and made the Hutyuns transform into an axe as big as the chameleon's gigantic head. An observer could see that it was impossible for her to carry but she did it with ease. 

Her body floated on air without the Hutyuns aid and her hand with the axe rose above her... and brought it down to the chameleon. Out of fear, adrenaline rushed in the chameleon's brain and dodged the axe's glistening sharp blade from cutting his head. He panted in fear and thought of running away.

However, Xinyi didn't give him the time to rest and think. She attacked smoothly and with grace, like she was dancing as she swung the axe several times toward the ever changing color chameleon. 

The chameleon heard no commands spoken from her mouth and yet she and the Hutyuns moved together in sync. She moved with no hesitation. Good thing the chameleon were fast to evade but with full of scratches. Finally. the chameleon thought he saw a weak spot in her movements. 

"Let's see if you're so tough with these annoying minions of yours once I do this." He aimed for her head which was unguarded. He gave his 100% speed and strength for this desperate attack. As he inched near her head, he gave out a satisfied grin.

Now, you die. 

Yet, before he could even land a claw on her hair, Xinyi's hand sent a lightning speed blow, flinging him into the air. That blow shocked him to the core, making him vomit as his stomach churned in horror. 

He was a chameleon who had thousand tiny eyeballs in his eyes and could see every angle around him, including his back. Yet, he didn't see her hand coming his way. It was so quick that his sensitive eyes could not detect even the slightest movement from her.

Her slapped caused him to land deeper within the cave. Before he could even stand again, Xinyi stomped his head down on the ground. She swung the Hutyuns formed as a sword, ready to finish him. 

Escape was beyond reach for the chameleon this time. He couldn't move every muscle of his body. He closed his eyes to receive death. This is it.

Then…"Xinyi," a faint male voice called, a dying one.
