"No next time?"
Chen Ke was secretly startled, his eyes narrowed as he looked at the dilapidated Taoist temple.
"Could it be that Blood Rose has recovered from her injuries and is secretly plotting to kill me?"
"impossible!"
Chen Ke was very confident in his silver beard needles.
Once you are hit, the silver needle will penetrate deep into your internal organs, causing serious injury even if you don't die, and you will never recover easily.
"You?"
Chen Ke laughed; he had actually been threatened by an assassin whose cultivation level was lower than his own.
Lan Hua sneered and summoned the silver talisman brush.
To deal with this master of acupuncture, relying solely on archery skills would be difficult, forcing him to resort to his old tricks.
As soon as the talisman appeared, Chen Ke made his move.
With a single move, a volley of silver needles swept across the area, like a tornado, as thousands of cold stars flashed by.
With a flick of her talisman brush, Lan Hua summoned three layers of defensive talismans that shimmered with dazzling light around her.
With the blessing of the talisman brush, Lan Hua's talismanic arts gained even more power.
boom!
"Hmm? Something's not right!"
Lan Hua discovered that even though the power of the talisman had greatly increased, Chen Ke's silver needles still quickly broke through the first layer of defensive talisman.
"These are different silver needles; this one is much thicker!"
"It's my turn to make a move!"
With a flick of his brush, he added another layer of defensive talisman in front of him.
Then, he quickly drew in the air with his talisman brush, and in just a moment, a huge talisman appeared out of nowhere.
A huge talisman lay above Chen Ke, crackling with electricity and sparking with countless sparks, which made Chen Ke shrink back in fright.
As a Yuan Dan realm expert, Chen Ke had been roaming the Xuanhuang Continent for nearly twenty years and had naturally encountered many talisman masters.
But the talisman in the sky was something I'd never seen before.
Under Lan Hua's control, no matter how Chen Ke dodged, the talisman always enveloped him.
"Duh!"
Lan Hua let out a low shout, and the huge talisman crackled with lightning, unleashing dense arcs of electricity. Although it wasn't thunder from the heavens, it was still terrifying enough.
Chen Ke's expression immediately changed drastically.
Even Huo Xiaoxiao, who had been hiding in the Taoist temple, showed an expression of disbelief.
Although she knew that Lan Hua was not only a skilled archer but also a talisman master, she was unaware of the extent of his talisman skills.
The electric arcs fell sharply, and Chen Ke was momentarily flustered.
His greatest skill was the Finger Flicking Technique, and his acupuncture technique was also derived from this.
Faced with Lan Hua's talisman technique, Chen Ke was momentarily at a loss as to how to defend himself, and could only use his protective Yuan energy to block the dense arcs of electricity.
Sizzle...
Countless arcs of electricity struck the protective elemental energy, sparking bursts of sparks.
The electric arc that struck the ground instantly ignited the wild grass, and flames erupted everywhere.
Although Chen Ke's cultivation level was one level higher than Lan Hua's, the difference wasn't that significant.
A wisp of electricity traveled along the flow of Qi to Chen Ke's body, giving him a tingling sensation.
This is the terrifying aspect of the electric talisman; only with an absolute difference in strength can it completely isolate the electric current with protective elemental power.
Clearly, Chen Ke cannot do that yet.
Seeing this, Lan Hua knew that the lightning talisman had broken through Chen Ke's defense, and the talisman power, aided by the talisman brush, surged wildly into the talisman.
Chen Ke's face began to twitch slightly, a result of the electric current stimulation.
Inside the Taoist temple, Huo Xiaoxiao noticed Chen Ke's unusual behavior and knew that this was an excellent opportunity to strike.
Ignoring his injuries, he summoned the Crimson Moon Bow and a strange iron arrow, and fired it at Chen Ke with full draw.
Chen Ke was already struggling to deal with the lightning talisman, and when he saw the iron arrow coming, he quickly shot out a silver needle to deflect the arrow.
Before Chen Kesong could even catch his breath, another arrow, propelled by electricity, shot towards him like lightning.
This arrow was much faster than the one Huo Xiaoxiao shot.
It was the black iron talisman arrow that Lan Hua shot.
Chen Ke cursed under his breath, but he had no time to shoot a second needle or dodge.
laugh!
The black iron arrow pierced through Chen Ke's protective energy, penetrating his abdomen and spraying blood.
Once the protective energy broke, the last wave of electric arcs from the lightning talisman struck him.
"ah..."
Chen Ke screamed in agony as his entire body went numb, his head buzzed, and he felt dizzy.
boom!
The ground was smashed into a large crater, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Chen Ke foamed at the mouth and convulsed for a while before he recovered.
"You...you actually destroyed my dantian!"
Lan Hua put away her bow and laughed, "I've already been very lenient by not blowing your head off on the spot!"
With his dantian destroyed, Chen Ke showed considerable pain.
"I never expected that this hunt would end in the hands of two young men!"
"As the saying goes, never underestimate the young!" Lan Hua said with a smile.
A series of sounds, one soft and one heavy, came from the air; it was the arrival of the stunningly beautiful woman.
Huo Xiaoxiao glanced at Chen Ke and fiddled with the five silver needles in her hand.
Chen Ke naturally understood Huo Xiaoxiao's meaning, and a hint of fear immediately appeared on his face.
He knew perfectly well how painful it was to have a silver needle inserted into his body.
Many prey died this way, tormented by the silver-bearded needle.
Huo Xiaoxiao snorted coldly, and with a slight movement of her right wrist, she shot the silver needles one by one into Chen Ke's body.
But they kept the last one.
Although she didn't know Chen Ke's acupuncture techniques, she could easily insert silver needles into the human body.
Once the silver needle entered the body, it immediately became soft, like a worm, and embedded itself deeply into the flesh.
"ah..."
Chen Ke was in excruciating pain, rolling around on the ground in agony.
Lan Hua was shocked. She couldn't help but think of the beautiful woman beside her who, after being infected, was able to endure immense pain without uttering a sound.
Blood gushed from Chen Ke's lower abdomen, turning the ground a bright red.
"Ah...you...just kill me!"
Chen Ke began to beg for mercy, or rather, he begged for death.
"Want to die?"
The beautiful woman said coldly, "That would be too easy on you!"
Holding the last silver needle, Huo Xiaoxiao sat down on the ground and quietly watched Chen Ke in pain.
Lan Hua was, after all, an assassin who had seen many dead people, so this scene was nothing to her.
Chen Ke suddenly roared, "Give me a swift death, and I'll tell you a secret!"
"Oh? What secret!"
“I agree!” Lan Hua immediately became interested.
Lan Hua glanced at Huo Xiaoxiao and gave an awkward smile. Seeing that the beautiful woman didn't speak, he assumed that she had also agreed.
Chen Ke said, "The Burial God Alliance is not simple; it is controlled by a powerful force behind the scenes!"
"I suspect that the person who withdrew from the Blood Ranking was very likely related to this force!"
Lan Hua and Huo Xiaoxiao exchanged a glance, both noticing a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
"What kind of force is that?"
Chen Ke endured the pain and said, "Xiao Men!"
"However, I don't know any more information about the Owl Sect!"
Lan Hua asked, "Who exactly withdrew from the Blood Ranking?"
His code name was Shepherd!
"Very well, you can die now!" Huo Xiaoxiao said coldly.
With a flick of his right fingertip, the last silver needle shot towards Chen Ke's heart.
She applied very light pressure with the needle, leaving the needle tip sticking out.
However, after the silver needle was stained with blood, it slowly crawled towards the heart along the needle hole.
Lan Hua knew that although this injection would kill Chen Ke, he would still suffer some torment before he died.
"ah…"
After Chen Ke screamed a few times, his voice gradually subsided and finally fell silent.
Lan Hua laughed and said, "The way you gave him to die was still a bit painful!"
Huo Xiaoxiao said coldly, "Isn't he dead?"
