The black gale grew fiercer, sweeping across an entire block.
The street vendors’ stalls were all blown away.
Luo Heng barely managed to steady himself, but a flying soup pot slammed into him, splattering fragrant braising sauce all over his clothes.
“Little sis, isn’t your Secret Art wind manipulation? Use your invincible Wind Control Power and think of something!”
Because the wind was so loud, Luo Heng had to shout at the top of his lungs to make his voice reach Luo Yao’s ears.
“No, wait…”
“What are you waiting for? Don’t tell me you can’t use your power because Lu Yunze isn’t here?”
“No, I already used it!”
Luo Yao took a deep breath and shouted directly:
“It’s not working!”
The moment the black gale started, Luo Yao had already used her Wind Control Power, but she couldn’t see any effect at all.
This was the first time she had encountered such a thing.
Her own Secret Art was completely useless.
No matter how hard Luo Yao tried, she seemed like a clown in front of this gale.
Intense anger and unease rapidly built up inside her.
Worse still, Luo Yao couldn’t think of any way to break the deadlock.
She looked up at the sky. Her Secret Art was ineffective, but she could still clearly sense the flow of the wind.
The starting point of everything was in the sky above their heads.
There must be something there!
“Hey, Second Brother, do you have any potion that can let you fly?”
“I’m a Secret Arts Practitioner, not a potioneer. You should go find Lu Yunze. He can jump really high.”
Luo Yao was stunned for a moment, then asked again:
“Where is Lu Yunze now?”
“I want to know too. That kid hasn’t been blown away by the wind, has he?”
“Well, it’s hard to say…”
“What are you talking about? Brother Lu is not that weak of a person…”
Before Luo Heng could finish his words, his entire body froze.
Luo Yao was confused at first, but then her eyes widened.
A blood-stained claw pierced through Luo Heng’s chest from behind.
As blood dripped, the blood on the fingertips was blown away by the wind, even splattering onto Luo Yao’s face.
She saw Luo Heng half-open mouthed, his healthy complexion turning pale at a visible rate.
“Second Brother!”
Luo Yao rushed forward and caught the falling Luo Heng.
The one who could ambush them at such a moment was none other than Sun Huaimeng.
“What a nice night, finally settling all our old scores at once.”
Sun Huaimeng seemed completely unaffected by the gale.
Her eyes, which had turned into vertical pupils due to Secret Art use, stared at the Luo siblings, full of mockery.
Because of what happened to Luo Heng, Luo Yao had no time to think why Sun Huaimeng, who should have been at the police station, was here.
Her anger directly overwhelmed all other emotions.
“I heard three young masters and a miss from the Luo family came. I didn’t expect it to be you guys.”
Sun Huaimeng said:
“Well, that saves me the trouble of looking for you.”
“Such an insolent wretch!”
Luo Yao bit her lower lip hard and suddenly stood up.
As she spoke, she also raised her arm.
But after two seconds of nothing happening, she remembered that she couldn’t use her Secret Art right now.
As a young lady who had been pampered since childhood, Luo Yao was rarely treated like this.
She couldn’t calm down and charged in for a bare-handed fight.
Seeing this, Sun Huaimeng even held her chin and let out a giggling laugh.
But unfortunately. Luo Yao, who could use Wind Control Power, was decent in strength.
But when it came to close combat, she was a pathetic weakling too embarrassing to look at.
Sun Huaimeng easily dodged her fist, then slapped her across the face.
In pain, Luo Yao accidentally hit an overturned table.
Although she wanted to get up again, her consciousness sank into the abyss.
Sun Huaimeng clapped her hands and hummed a light tune.
All the grudges settled today could be resolved tonight. How exhilarating.
She should have taken care of Jiang Sui, Luo Heng, and Luo Yao.
Sun Huaimeng started thinking about who to go after next.
Should she go directly to the police station?
Or…
No, I remember there’s still one more person from the Luo family?
Sun Huaimeng coldly looked at the two on the ground, then looked up at the sky.
Even if she left them here, that arm in the sky would soon take their lives.
“Maybe I’ll go to the Luo Family Mansion first.”
“I heard there’s a woman there who has been hindering us.”
Sun Huaimeng’s expression gradually turned bloodthirsty.
“Not just her, everyone in that mansion cannot be spared.”
“Yes, cannot be spared!”
Just then. In the howling wind, footsteps sounded behind her, growing closer.
Only when the sound reached her ears clearly did Sun Huaimeng turn around.
Then, she saw a figure leaping high in the air.
As if completely unaffected by the gale, the figure fell straight toward her.
For a moment, Sun Huaimeng felt this scene was familiar.
But she quickly reacted and dodged backward, evading this heavy strike.
The heavy sword crashed into the ground.
Cracks like a spiderweb spread instantly, even reaching under Sun Huaimeng’s feet.
“I just heard you say you were going to cause trouble for the people in the mansion?”
Lu Yunze pulled out his heavy sword, staring at her with cold eyes.
“It’s you. You’re also reinforcements from the Luo family.”
Sun Huaimeng placed one hand on her hip, feeling a bit regretful inside.
If Lu Yunze had been with Luo Yao and the others just now, her first target for the ambush would have been him instead of Luo Heng.
Looking at the mess, Lu Yunze knew he was too late.
Lu Yunze pointed at the location of the withered arm in the sky.
“You’ve been preparing for tonight for months. What is that thing?”
As the gale raged, the originally skinny arm was rapidly regaining flesh, but it still didn’t look like a human arm.
“How do you know we’ve been preparing for a long time?”
Sun Huaimeng’s expression changed slightly.
Hearing this, Lu Yunze gave a cold laugh.
“I asked your accomplice, of course.”
The one who had lured Lu Yunze away was none other than Sun Huaimeng’s accomplice.
Out of intense curiosity, Lu Yunze followed them into an alley.
After learning that these guys were preparing a shocking plan, Lu Yunze couldn’t wait any longer.
He spent some time and effort to deal with them, and also extracted some information.
Tonight’s plan had been in preparation by the Revival Society for two or three months, and it was extremely important to them.
Distributing “Boiling Blood” to their subordinates was also meant to boost their combat power.
As for the consequences of using this stuff, it was entirely beyond the consideration of the higher-ups.
They only cared about the results. Lu Yunze still remembered Luo Qiaoying saying that the Revival Society’s goal seemed to be to destroy this city.
In that case, the arm floating in the sky was probably some kind of deadly weapon.
Sun Huaimeng’s face darkened as she guessed the source of his information, and couldn’t help complaining:
“Useless bastard, wasting so much Boiling Blood and still couldn’t be of any use.”
Saying that, she revealed a cunning smile.
“If you really want to know what that good thing is, why don’t you come closer and let me tell you quietly.”
She was as seductive as a cat that had become a spirit, her soft voice full of allure.
But Lu Yunze paid no attention. Having long been used to Jiang Sui’s various seductions, he only found this woman’s actions disgusting.
“Auntie, you’re over thirty, don’t you know what shame is?”
All the previous charm immediately vanished.
“You…”
Sun Huaimeng’s face instantly turned black. First “Auntie,” then “shame.”
Earlier today, because the situation was too urgent, she hadn’t had a chance to have a good fight with Lu Yunze.
But now was different. Lu Yunze didn’t intend to waste any more words with her. He lifted his heavy sword and charged, swinging it down with all his might.
The blade was about to touch her body.
But Sun Huaimeng vanished from Lu Yunze’s sight.
Then, a sharp pain shot through his side.
This familiar feeling… It was indeed Old Cat! Faster than Chen Miao. Sharper claws than Chen Miao. Even the Black Scales couldn’t fully defend against it.
Lu Yunze touched the wound on his waist.
Fortunately, it wasn’t too serious.
Sun Huaimeng, standing not far away, licked her claws, looking at him like a toy.
A proud speed-type Secret Arts Practitioner like her loved the process of torturing slow enemies.
Every time she easily dodged an opponent’s attack.
Every time she saw panic on their face.
Every time she left a wound on their body.
It made her extremely excited.
“What’s wrong? What’s wrong?”
“Weren’t you pretty cocky this afternoon?”
“You liked chasing me, didn’t you? Why are you just standing there now?”
Sun Huaimeng kept moving at high speed while constantly taunting him.
“The Luo family’s reinforcements are nothing special.”
“And they entrusted you with such an important task? I think the family head’s brain isn’t working well either.”
“Better just lie down. Soon the Luo family members will be reunited down below.”
Lu Yunze didn’t respond.
He only passively defended, occasionally swinging a few meaningless strikes in the direction she charged from.
The heavy sword couldn’t even touch Sun Huaimeng’s clothes.
The speed gap between them was too huge.
After experiencing that battle in Central City against Baigui Shitu, Lu Yunze had developed an indescribable sense of crisis.
With his current strength, dealing with sneak attacks from ordinary enemies was enough.
But once he entered more brutal fights, he always felt a deep helplessness.
Even if he could match Sun Huaimeng’s speed and defeat her,
facing the arm in the sky, Lu Yunze would probably still be useless.
Was he really going to give up resistance and wait to die, as Sun Huaimeng said?
Bam! Lu Yunze slammed his heavy sword into the ground.
His shoulders drooped, his body trembling slightly. Seeing this, Sun Huaimeng thought it was finally over.
So she charged straight at him, preparing to end the fight with one last attack.
Just as she was close enough, Lu Yunze suddenly looked up.
His eyes were full of fighting spirit.
‘Wait to die?’
‘What a joke!’
‘There are people waiting for me at home. How could I wait to die?!’
Lu Yunze swung his heavy sword fiercely. But Sun Huaimeng twisted her body at the last moment and dodged it.
“Heh.”
Sun Huaimeng had just laughed when she saw Lu Yunze suddenly release the sword hilt.
