Chapter 130: Chapter 95: Counter-kill
He had also checked for underground tunnels or hidden mechanisms, but found nothing.
In the end, he concluded that Li Yuanwai’s Mansion was not out of the ordinary and returned to report on his mission.
Meanwhile, the members of the Blood Spirit Sect had remained underground for several months, only reemerging after confirming it was completely safe.
In order to reclaim the Black Abyss Flesh, the Sacrificial Minister gave Lotus and Red Tiger another Soul-locking Worm.
The pair followed the Soul-locking Worm, tracking it all the way, and finally discovered that the Black Abyss Flesh was somehow on Jiang Che!
"Well, it seems we were fated to meet again."
Lotus licked her lips and chuckled.
"Well, well, if it isn’t the lady with the bad breath," Jiang Che remarked.
Lotus’s expression changed instantly. In a cold voice, she snarled,
"You brat! You’re courting death!"
She lunged forward, her hand shaped like a claw as she swiped at Jiang Che’s neck!
But just as her hand was about to touch Jiang Che, his figure flickered and vanished!
"Huh? Where’d he go?"
Startled, Lotus glanced left and right, but Jiang Che was nowhere to be seen.
"Behind you!" Red Tiger shouted.
Lotus had barely started to turn when a tremendous force struck her from behind, sending her flying!
Only after crashing through several trees did Lotus finally come to a stop.
She couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood, her face a mask of shock as she stared at Jiang Che.
’This kid... What’s going on?! How is he so powerful?!’
She was completely baffled.
Red Tiger also looked as if he were facing a formidable foe. He immediately circulated his Qi Blood at full power and charged at Jiang Che.
But Jiang Che dodged him with ease, then kicked him square in the rear, sending him flying as well.
Jiang Che frowned, discovering the two were much weaker than he had imagined.
He walked over to them and said,
"Don’t you two have a Secret Technique for Transformation? Hurry up and use it. I’m on a schedule."
He glanced at the sky. He had a feeling he might be late for his sparring match at the Fierce Wind Martial Arts Hall; he couldn’t afford to waste too much time here.
Lotus was stunned. This was the first time she had ever encountered such an opponent!
"You brat..."
However, even if Jiang Che hadn’t said a word, they would have chosen to use their Secret Technique.
Although it was clear the man before them hadn’t reached Force Integration, his power was so great he might as well have been!
They didn’t dare to be complacent.
The two of them took out pills and swallowed them down.
Soon, Lotus’s body began to expand, transforming her into a woman with a body full of bulging, knotted muscles.
Red Tiger, meanwhile, sprouted red fur all over his body, becoming a gorilla-like monster.
The auras emanating from the pair grew abruptly stronger, and even Jiang Che began to feel the pressure.
"Now this is more like it..."
Jiang Che grinned and charged, locking them in a chaotic melee.
His previously unstoppable Kunji couldn’t even break their skin when he struck them!
Although many "red lines" appeared on their bodies under the effect of [Insight], the pair guarded these spots so well that his blade could barely reach them.
Even the strength he was so proud of was inferior compared to the transformed duo.
’Looks like I’m still seriously lacking in terms of raw power.’
Jiang Che used every trick in the book, even resorting to his Five Poison Technique, but the two seemed completely unaffected.
BANG—
In a moment of carelessness, Jiang Che was struck. Red Tiger had gotten behind him and punched him in the spine, sending him flying like a cannonball.
He finally came to a halt after smashing through several trees.
"Cough, cough..."
Jiang Che couldn’t stop himself from spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Moreover, he could feel that he’d been afflicted with at least ten different poisons.
Although his poison resistance had been greatly enhanced, he couldn’t hold up against so many powerful toxins at once.
He was actually starting to feel weak.
At that moment, Lotus and Red Tiger walked over.
"Kid, is the Black Abyss Flesh on you?" Lotus asked.
"What if it is? And what if it isn’t?" Jiang Che chuckled.
"Forget it. We’ll just kill you. Once you’re dead, we can just take it from your corpse."
Lotus advanced with a savage look on her face.
"Before I die, can I ask you one question?" Jiang Che said.
"Fine. Since you have such a pretty face, go ahead and ask," Lotus said, licking her lips.
"You two are from Li Yuanwai’s Mansion in Hengsha City, right?" Jiang Che asked.
"How do you know that?" Lotus asked, stunned.
’So it really was Li Yuanwai’s Mansion...’
Jiang Che had the answer he wanted.
"Whatever. You’re a dead man walking, so what does it matter what you know?"
Her expression savage, Lotus charged and appeared before Jiang Che in an instant.
"Now that I know, you can go and die," Jiang Che said calmly.
"You brat! Still talking tough when you’re at death’s door!"
Lotus laughed in exasperation. Her fingers like an eagle’s talons, she lunged, swiping viciously at Jiang Che’s face!
"Transformation."
Jiang Che touched his heart and whispered.
Instantly, an incredibly tyrannical aura erupted from his body.
Plates of black armor rapidly formed over his body.
In the blink of an eye, the once-weakened young man transformed into an eight-foot-tall giant clad in Black Armor, his muscles incredibly immense!
Lotus froze. She suddenly remembered the mysterious Black Armored Martial Artist they had previously encountered.
"It was you?!"
she cried out in shock.
BANG—
Jiang Che didn’t waste any time talking. He simply kicked her, sending her flying.
At the same time, he instantly flashed above Red Tiger, bringing his elbow down on his head!
Red Tiger had just raised his head when he saw a massive, Black Armor-clad elbow smashing into his face like a heavy sledgehammer.
Red Tiger’s face immediately caved in, and the immense impact drove his feet deep into the ground.
But Red Tiger’s Life Energy was astonishingly tenacious. He didn’t die instantly. Kicking off with both legs, he leaped violently away.
From his ruined face, a pair of terrified eyes stared blankly at Jiang Che.
Jiang Che felt a savage killing intent spreading through his heart.
