Bang la la——!
A fiery-red figure suffered a heavy blow and flew out of the back kitchen at extreme speed. Her back heavily smashed into the brown-yellow sandstone wall, leaving dense spiderweb-like cracks.
Cough… cough cough!
Sliding down the wall onto the wooden floor, Theresa covered her abdomen and coughed violently. Several traces of blood stained her lips. A hint of fear appeared in the girl’s eyes.
He still didn’t die even after that?!
She pulled out a recovery potion and drank it down. Feeling her injuries improve slightly, she supported herself on the floor and tried to stand. The next moment, a gale followed closely behind.
Not only her — Bai Tang was not spared either. She was grabbed by tentacles and thrown out, heavily smashing onto a round wooden table. Wood chips flew everywhere.
If she had taken that hit without any defense, her ribs would probably already be broken.
“What the hell!? Why isn’t he dead even after that!”
The pitch-black tentacles wrapping her back all retracted. Bai Tang struggled to get up, her gaze fixed tightly on the back kitchen entrance, brows furrowed together.
Heavy footsteps approached. The Barrel Butcher grabbed the doorframe and slowly walked out.
His towering body, like a small mountain, almost completely blocked the entire back kitchen entrance. The blood-stained boning knife in his hand seemed to have come alive. Its size had more than doubled. The broken part of the blade was connected by newly grown fresh red flesh that pulsed rhythmically.
Further up, the Barrel Butcher’s entire head from the neck upward had disappeared, blown apart by the iron bullet fired from the demon hunter lady’s long-barreled flintlock gun.
But even with his head blown off, the Barrel Butcher was still alive!
The flesh at the broken neck was frantically writhing and growing. In just a short moment, half a new head had already grown out.
“Don’t wait for him to grow a new head. While he still doesn’t have eyes!”
Bai Tang let out a sharp cry.
The Demon Hunter Revolver in her hand fired six iron bullets in succession. One shot missed. The remaining five bullets shot into the Barrel Butcher’s body. The violent kinetic energy made the flesh around the bullet holes rotate and twist, finally exploding into a huge bloody hole with a bang.
Understood!
Theresa stood up again and quickly reloaded the flintlock gun with large-caliber iron bullets.
From the first shot just now, it was clear that the Barrel Butcher’s flesh had extremely strong self-healing abilities. Even without a head, he could still move freely. His heart was probably the same.
Theresa aimed the muzzle at the Barrel Butcher’s knee supporting his body.
Bang——!
Unlike Bai Tang’s Demon Hunter Revolver, the large-caliber flintlock gun Theresa used was closer to a small cannon. The slow bullet loading speed and limited range were exchanged for extremely terrifying destructive power, enough to blast off the Barrel Butcher’s entire lower leg.
“Urgh ah!”
After a miserable scream, the Barrel Butcher’s knee and entire lower leg were instantly swallowed. His body completely lost balance and heavily fell to the floor.
Following closely behind were more attacks raining down densely like raindrops.
Theresa reloaded again. She flashed to the side of the fallen Barrel Butcher, stepped on his shoulder with one foot, and intended to give the newly growing head another shot at close range.
Before that, Bai Tang had already emptied several cylinders of her revolver. Countless tentacles shot out, firmly entangling and tightening around the Barrel Butcher’s limbs, giving him no chance to resist.
This time, even with chronic metal poisoning, he should die, right?!
“Urgh ah——!”
Another soul-shaking roar. Feeling the tentacles wrapped around the Barrel Butcher breaking inch by inch because they had exceeded their limit, Bai Tang’s expression changed drastically.
“Something’s wrong, fall back!”
Focused on aiming at the Barrel Butcher’s head, Theresa had no time to react when the boning knife suddenly swept horizontally toward her. She watched as she was about to be cut in half at the waist in the next second.
A section of pitch-black tentacle suddenly wrapped around her waist.
A backward force at the limit yanked her out of the edge of death. The flintlock gun in her hand fired off target and fell to the ground.
A flash of terror crossed her face. Only then did Theresa belatedly realize that the slippery tentacle wrapped around her waist belonged to Bai Tang.
Although it was quite inconceivable no matter how she thought about it that a human would possess tentacles exclusive to evil hell creatures, this was not the time to ponder such things.
“Are you okay?”
After pulling the demon hunter lady to her side, Bai Tang asked with concern.
“I’m fine!”
Theresa shook her somewhat numb arm and drew the sharp short blade from her waist, twirling it with a flourish.
“Actually, I’m also good at close-range assaults.”
Her eyes stared tightly at the Barrel Butcher not far away, whose injuries had already completely recovered. He was slowly getting up in a strange posture. Bai Tang’s expression sank. The gray pupil of her right eye slowly displayed text information.

What kind of terrifying monster is this?
After the Barrel Butcher climbed up from the ground, he did not immediately launch an attack on the two of them. Instead, he reversed his grip on the boning knife. Under the horrified gazes of the two girls, he tore off the leather apron on his body that had already become tattered from the previous attacks.
His eyes rolled back. From his ribs down to his abdomen, he vertically split open his own belly!
At the same time, it seemed as if some creature inside his body wanted to drill out.
It was a creature that had shrunk several sizes compared to the Barrel Butcher’s body, with a semi-transparent幽 blue color throughout, similar to an undead body.
The remaining half of the undead body was still hanging inside the Barrel Butcher’s body. Its upper body was exposed outside. It was also holding a soul-form boning knife in its hand. Its face was ferocious and twisted.
Just looking at it caused one’s sanity to plummet uncontrollably.
Is this the terror of a Blood Robe Level bizarre creature?
Bai Tang’s gaze was somewhat dazed.
At that moment, a new section of lower leg had already grown under the Barrel Butcher’s knee that was blasted into pieces by the flintlock gun. He kicked off with both legs and leapt in front of Bai Tang. The boning knife in his hand swung down fiercely.
Clang——!
At the critical moment, Theresa drew her short blade to block and knocked away the incoming boning knife.
Seeing this, Bai Tang immediately raised her Demon Hunter Revolver that had been reloaded with bullets. Just as she was about to empty the cylinder, a sharp shriek that seemed capable of penetrating the soul suddenly rang out.
“Eeeah——!”
Half of Bai Tang’s soul was directly driven out of her body. She floated in the air, watching her own motionless flesh body below from a strange third-person perspective as if she had lost control.
Theresa only knocked away the attack aimed at Bai Tang’s flesh body, but she could not defend against the boning knife from the undead that had drilled out of the Barrel Butcher’s stomach, which directly chopped toward Bai Tang’s soul in mid-air.
