Chapter 618: Unexpected Attack
After hearing what Immortal Master Huang had said, Gao Fei just laughed, "Anything has its good and bad sides, like rain for instance, it can water the crops, purify the air, and bring coolness to the scorching summer days... Likewise, rain also has its drawbacks, it can make the roads muddy and hard to travel, and cause inconveniences in commuting, besides making the air humid..."
"Some people like sunny days, others prefer rainy days, and everyone's preferences are different." Shangguan Yunyue said with a smile, "The Heavens don't care whether you like it or not, it will still rain when it's supposed to rain."
"That's a very true statement," Gao Fei nodded, "Heaven and earth are not benevolent, treating all beings as straw dogs! In the eyes of the Heavens, we're just a bunch of ants!"
"Ants..." Immortal Master Huang slightly nodded, "You're right, we are ants... all doomed to die one day..."
The heavy rain outside finally stopped, the dark clouds dispersed, and the Sun reappeared.
"Alright, the rain has stopped, let's go out."
Gao Fei was in the lead, Shangguan Yunyue was in the middle, and Immortal Master Huang brought up the rear.
Just as the three of them were about to leave the cave, something unexpected happened...
The one trailing behind, Immortal Master Huang suddenly lunged forward and struck Shangguan Yunyue's back with a palm, putting all his strength into it. The unguarded Shangguan Yunyue was sent flying, coughing up blood midair, her complexion turning deathly pale instantaneously.
"Swoosh!"
Immortal Master Huang charged again, unleashing a frenzied attack on Shangguan Yunyue.
It was then that Gao Fei finally reacted, his face filled with disbelief and incredulity. He roared, "Immortal Master Huang, have you gone mad!" Gao Fei rushed over quickly.
"Bang!"
Immortal Master Huang kicked Gao Fei away with one foot, then continued his assault on Shangguan Yunyue.
After a brief moment of shock, Shangguan Yunyue finally gathered her strength, enduring the severe pain in her body, and engaged in a fierce battle with Immortal Master Huang.
Originally, Shangguan Yunyue was more powerful than Immortal Master Huang; if they had fought a fair duel, Shangguan Yunyue would have surely won, but now... Shangguan Yunyue had been ambushed and suffered severe internal injuries, and could only muster half of her full capability... In such a condition, Shangguan Yunyue was no match for Immortal Master Huang.
One could only say that Immortal Master Huang was too ruthless and too vicious! The timing of his strike was too cunning!
"Bang!"
Shangguan Yunyue took a kick to the abdomen and vomited another mouthful of blood, her face growing even paler.
"Stop it! Stop!" Gao Fei got up from the ground and charged again, "Why! Why is this happening!!! Immortal Master Huang, why did you ambush Shangguan Yunyue! What did she do to offend you? Speak, speak!!!!" Gao Fei truly couldn't accept it; he had treated Immortal Master Huang with sincere goodwill only to be repaid with such a cruel act.
Immortal Master Huang remained silent, constantly attacking Shangguan Yunyue, and was careful with his strikes, avoiding her vital parts. He remembered the orders given by Emperor Dugu Jingtian, to capture Shangguan Yunyue alive and by no means harm her life.
Shangguan Yunyue was also puzzled, unable to comprehend why Immortal Master Huang would suddenly strike her.
"We could sit down and talk things over slowly, why resort to violence!" Gao Fei rushed over, spreading his arms to intercept Immortal Master Huang, "You tell me... If Shangguan Yunyue really did something wrong, I will make her apologize to you..."
Immortal Master Huang paid no attention to Gao Fei, and with a forward thrust, he aimed a palm at Gao Fei's chest.
"Are you really going to do this!" As Gao Fei dodged, he yelled, "Are you really intent on fighting to the death! Immortal Master Huang!!! Can't you calm down for a moment!!!"
"Bang!"
In response to Gao Fei, a flying kick came his way. This time Gao Fei couldn't avoid it and was kicked into the air. After tumbling several times in the air, he crashed heavily to the ground, blood slowly trickling from the corner of his mouth, "Cough, cough, cough..." Gao Fei struggled to his feet, clenched his teeth, and charged again, "Immortal Master Huang! You're forcing my hand!" As he spoke, Gao Fei spat out the Li Fire, then released hundreds of Drug-absorbing Bugs, followed by taking out a giant hammer (transformed from the Thousand Transformations Stone), lifting it high and smashing it towards Immortal Master Huang, while the Li Fire and Drug-absorbing Bugs simultaneously launched their attacks...
Under Gao Fei's relentless assault, Immortal Master Huang felt the pressure, occupied with fending off Shangguan Yunyue while also watching out for Gao Fei's sneak attacks. For a moment, he was in a state of chaos, the strain doubling.
"Roar!!!"
Immortal Master Huang suddenly let out a skyward roar, then collapsed to the ground and with a gentle roll transformed into a weasel— a massive weasel. Unveiling his true form, Immortal Master Huang's strength began to surge, especially his attack speed, which became as fast as lightning, impossible to defend against.
"Swoosh!"
"Whiz!"
"Thud!"
The weasel darted through the air, its claws slashing, grabbing, scratching, tearing... In the blink of an eye, multiple wounds appeared on Gao Fei and Shangguan Yunyue's bodies, blood flew in all directions, a gruesome sight to behold.
"Rip!"
A claw struck Gao Fei's chest, shredding his clothes, blurring flesh with blood, causing blood to gush out wildly.
"Thud!"
A claw struck Shangguan Yunyue's shoulder, leaving five deep gashes down to the bone, from which blood flowed relentlessly.
"Rip..."
"Thud..."
"Rip, thud..."
The weasel's speed was too fast; Shangguan Yunyue and Gao Fei, despite all their efforts, could not dodge. In a moment... both were drenched in blood... If this continued, they only had a dead end to face.
"Shangguan Yunyue, I'll hold him off, you run!" Gao Fei bellowed.
"If we're going, we go together! I won't leave you behind!" Shangguan Yunyue said.
"Can't you stop being foolish?"
"No more words, even if you break the heavens, I won't leave alone."
"You..."
"We live together, or we die together!"
"You foolish woman! Did a donkey kick your head?" Gao Fei, utterly frustrated, said, "Rather than both of us dying, it's better for one to escape. That way, there's still a chance for revenge..."
"Fine, I'll hold him off, you run."
"You... Can't you listen to me just this once?"
"I listen to you in everything else, but not this, not ever."
"You... you... you want to drive me mad!!! Ah! Watch out!" Gao Fei rushed forward, embracing Shangguan Yunyue, "Thud!!!" A claw descended from above, viciously landing on Gao Fei's back, five long nails piercing his back and protruding from his chest...
"Gao Fei!!!" Shangguan Yunyue's eyes filled with desperate furor, she cried out in shock.
"Ah!!!" Gao Fei let out an angry roar, forcefully pushed Shangguan Yunyue away, then turned around and embraced Immortal Master Huang... more precisely, embraced a weasel...
