Chapter 403: The Constrained Horse Master
Chapter 403: The Constrained Horse Master
"Not even a bit of mercy..."
There were no poison bugs on Monkey Wine's body, which meant that he was defenseless against close-range attacks. However, as Wu Ya approached with her ferocious and bizarre demeanor, he showed no reaction at all.
But as Wu Ya drew closer, the drooping branches and twisted roots around him seemed to come to life. Like giant pythons or uneven hands, they entangled Wu Ya's body one by one, layer by layer, without pause.
One by one, layer by layer, the vines and branches wrapped around Wu Ya's body, slowing her down and making her movements increasingly sluggish. She was gradually being wrapped into a large rice dumpling by the countless roots and branches.
Monkey Wine's body was devoid of poison bugs, only bearing various chaotic scars—a testament to his past efforts to remove the bugs from his body.
However, he could transform everything around him into a curse, ensuring his self-preservation.
Finally, as she reached Monkey Wine, her sharp, black-nailed hand reached for his head, but she was also completely entangled, her movements freezing in mid-air.
It was only then that Monkey Wine, or rather Wu Song, slowly turned his head towards her, seemingly admiring his sister's final state.
"Why are you so ruthless?"
Seeing Wu Ya's appearance, his eyes seemed to fill with regret and sorrow. But when he looked into her eyes and saw the ferocity and madness within, his face instantly turned cold. He muttered, "You're no longer Wu Ya."
"Beyond appearances, you're just a monster inhabiting Wu Ya's body..."
"..."
As he spoke, the bamboo flute in his hand turned slightly in his palm. He held it upside down, revealing a sharp, black object at the other end, resembling a scorpion's stinger.
With the bamboo flute in his hand, he swung it towards Wu Ya's forehead without hesitation.
One could even see a faint smile on his face, which grew stronger, reaching his cheeks and twisting his expression into a bizarre grimace.
He was like a dragon trapped at the bottom of a pond, imprisoned for a long time, finally getting a chance to crawl out.
At this moment, the greatest chain holding him back was slipping away.
This final smile on his face was the most terrifying expression, but unfortunately, the Wugong Clan Leader didn't even notice him at that moment and had no energy to care.
He had reached the mine's entrance, ready to crawl inside with all his might. Having come this far, it seemed no one cared about him, and naturally, no one could stop him. He wouldn't look back at the killing on the hillside behind him.
Time seemed to pause, and fate held its breath.
Then, the air around them seemed to tremble, and two figures suddenly rushed out from the quiet valley.
...
...
"Stop!"
Seeing the sorcerers being killed by the poison bugs, Hu Ma's heart filled with unwarranted fear, and he even felt a hint of apprehension towards Monkey Wine.
His mind was filled with complex emotions and thoughts. Initially, he was on the fence, unsure whether to directly intervene in this matter. But when he saw Monkey Wine's excited expression, he couldn't help himself.
Various changing thoughts collided and intertwined, and in an instant, one of them took the upper hand.
This guy was a madman among the reincarnators.
But he was also a genius.
In this small, exiled sorcerer tribe, he had studied curse techniques on his own, acquiring a set of mysterious and unpredictable skills. His abilities were so formidable that he was unafraid of being besieged by the Three Ascended Guardians, and even the Ascended Guardian himself was somewhat afraid of him.
Before this, he had been troubled by his own problems. But now that he thought he had seen through certain things—not truly seeing through them, but believing he had—who knew what he might do?
Therefore, they couldn't let him kill Wu Ya, or the only chain holding back this madman would be broken.
As this thought took hold in an instant, Hu Ma decided to intervene.
He shouted and leaped from the altar, picking up the jagged blade on the ground. His Ghost Ascension skill was at its peak, and his body moved like a ghost, covering half the valley in an instant as he rushed towards the siblings on the hillside.
The other figure was none other than the horse, which had been cursed on its buttocks earlier and had no choice but to hide in the valley for most of the day.
During this time, countless dangerous events had occurred around them, each a deadly opportunity for ordinary people. But the cursed horse could only lie there, enduring the wait.
Now, it had finally regained its ability to move and stood up, fueled by anger and rage, its four hooves thundering.
"Hiss..."
As Hu Ma rushed towards the hillside, the countless branches and roots around him suddenly came to life, like a swarm of snakes, swirling and dense, wrapping around Hu Ma's body, trying to entangle and even pierce him.
This is the Guardian Curse set up by Monkey Wine, indiscriminately guarding against friend and foe, it was terrifying.
But with a twist of the jagged blade in his hand, the Year-End Guardian's skill was unleashed, and with just one flourish, all the vines and leaves were severed, flying in pieces and scattering debris.
Even the sap splattered from the cut ends of the vines carried a sweet fragrance, but it was poisonous. However, Hu Ma's body emitted a chilling aura that layer by layer, dispelled the sap.
"Huff!"
In an instant, he rushed up the slope, shredding the vines. In the midst of his sprint, he bowed slightly, bowing towards Monkey Wine.
Suddenly, a gust of malevolent wind blew towards him.
Monkey Wine's attention was focused on Wu Ya, seemingly unaware that the person rushing towards him at lightning speed was Hu Ma. Or perhaps he knew but didn't care. He slightly turned his wrist, slanting the bamboo flute, and as the wind blew through the holes, it emitted a 'woo' sound.
A stone under his feet suddenly flew up, shattering the stone fragments on his body, and a golden cicada emerged, fluttering its thin wings in the air, creating a strange gust of wind that collided with the Four Ghost Bow Greeting.
But the flute in his hand barely turned, drawing an arc in the air before stabbing firmly into Wu Ya's forehead.
"Soul Binding Whip..."
In the midst of his charge, Hu Ma waved his left hand, his fingertips slightly hooked, borrowing a vine that was falling from the air, and sent it towards Monkey Wine's arm from a distance.
However, with a 'hiss', just as the vine approached Monkey Wine, it was already severed by an invisible force. The severed piece, like a snake, jumped up from the ground and bit towards Hu Ma.
"Monkey Hardly Picks Peach..."
Hu Ma's momentum didn't slow, and his body turned. With a flick of his knife tip, he split the vine into two, but he himself turned with the momentum and arrived in front of Monkey Wine.
Monkey Wine's face turned slightly cold, and he slowly turned to look at Hu Ma. His eyes were hollow and indifferent. Being stared at by those eyes made Hu Ma feel uncomfortable all over, as if even his eyes could cast curses...
...It might not be real, or perhaps he was just scared and suspicious.
But at this moment, Monkey Wine's shadow beneath his feet actually started to move, as if surrounded by spinning torches, or as if his shadow had gained its own consciousness, baring its fangs and claws, pouncing towards Hu Ma.
And with Hu Ma so close to him, he couldn't help but feel a sense of danger. Normally, when a Year-End Guardian approaches anyone, the danger is to the other party.
But for someone like Monkey Wine, even the Year-End Guardian would feel an instinctive danger when approached.
However, Hu Ma couldn't afford to keep his distance. Facing the subtle changes around him, he paused slightly, and the surrounding force field surged, dispelling Monkey Wine's shadow and any potential close-range danger.
Then he extended his palm and firmly grabbed the end of the bamboo flute just as it was about to pierce Wu Ya's forehead.
With the flute in his grasp, Wu Song's face showed a hint of anger. His lips didn't move, but his throat emitted a few strange sounds, like an incantation, signaling the release of some mysterious evil thing.
"That is..."
From a distance, having just breathed a sigh of relief at seeing Hu Ma block the terrifying thing outside the valley, they suddenly saw him engage with the white-robed sorcerer. Everyone's hearts rose to their throats, and they dared not breathe.
"Alright..."
Elder Sun, who had mysteriously switched sides, was even more excited, clapping his hands as he witnessed Hu Ma swiftly closing in on the white-robed Wu Song.
When a Year-End Guardian gets close, that sorcerer is as good as dead, no matter what powerful bugs he has on his body.
But in everyone's eyes, Hu Ma, who had successfully closed in, heard the strange sounds from Monkey Wine's throat. Instead of taking advantage to strike, he also lowered his voice and spoke his own incantation to Monkey Wine.
It was very short, just five words: "Wu Ya still has a chance!"
"..."
"Swish!"
Monkey Wine's incantation abruptly stopped, and he widened his eyes in disbelief, looking at Hu Ma.
On the other side, Wu Gong Clan Leader had already crawled to the mine entrance and was about to enter. His joy seemed to have reached its peak, but he suddenly heard the sound of galloping hooves.
He didn't understand why, but the human face attached to the bug instinctively opened its eyes and saw a dark cloud rushing down.
It wasn't a cloud, but a horse's hooves.
No one knew how much Horse Master had endured.
But now, finally able to move again, with the matter almost concluded, the resentment in his heart turned into rare, unwarranted anger.
He got up, ran, charged, and then stomped on the source of all these troubles, the bug that had consumed so much of his energy to refine. He kicked and stomped it.
Even turning it into meat paste wouldn't satisfy his anger.
