Melee Before the Warehouse

Evil Mouth jumped to the side, dodging the bullet.

He raised his hands and said in a very unpleasant tone, "Ugh, how rude! I surrender, I surrender..."

"That's impossible, of course."

Evil Mouth stretched his mouth open, revealing a crazed smile.

His face was mostly covered by his bangs, with only one eye showing. He probably didn't go out much, as his skin was extremely pale, making the dark circles under his eyes very obvious.

The moment you see him, you'll be startled by his abnormal madness; after all, no normal person would want to mess with a lunatic.

If it were anyone else, they would probably be frightened by the Evil Mouth, but Xu Zhou had spent so much time with Bai Zuo that he had developed a strong tolerance for Bai Zuo's occasional maliciousness.

Moreover, given his current personality, he wouldn't be intimidated by a little bit of madness.

Jiang Tianzong always had a sour face.

As for Xie Yu, judging from his smiling face, you could tell he didn't care at all.

"What a boring bunch. Let's get started." (Evil Mouth)

After saying that.

He acted decisively, driven by Love Resentment.

His hands were pierced by green vines, which grew from the flesh of his arms and spread rapidly throughout the space after falling to the ground.

In order to avoid the vines, Jiang Tianzong, Xu Zhou, and the others were unwittingly driven to the side and separated from their captain, Xie Yu.

Love Resentment manipulated the vines, attacking the two newlyweds.

Xu Zhou gripped the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, severing a section of the vine attacking him. He calmly observed the situation, his mind racing.

These vines are not very resilient or tough, and their attack power is weak. Is their aim to separate us?

Is their plan to stall us first, focus on dealing with Captain Xie Jie alone, and then take care of the other two after the battle is decided?

Xu Zhou could tell from the intensity of their auras that both opponents were definitely A-level Contract Anomalist. If the two of them joined forces to deal with Captain Xie, Captain Xie might not be able to gain the upper hand.

"Jiang Tianzong, can the two of us hold him off?"

Jiang Tianzong his teeth. "What are you saying? Of course we have to do it!"

Although that's what he said, in reality, he was caught in the mingling of the two forces, making it difficult for him to even move.

Once they really started fighting, neither of them held back their Evil Mouth or their Love Resentment, and a powerful, eerie aura was released without restraint, pressing down on everyone.

Although Xie Yu also unleashed the same aura in retaliation, the two newcomers were not so fortunate.

Caught between the oppressive atmospheres of both sides, they were like two driftwoods being constantly swept away in a flood, unable to control their own destiny.

Jiang Tianzong gritted his teeth and endured it. It was too strong. This was the strength of an A-level. Just the aura he released was enough to make it difficult for him to stand.

Jiang Tianzong grabbed a vine that was piercing his hand, and he did not let go.

He put the vine in his mouth and bit it off.

The bitter taste of the plant made him frown, but he still swallowed it.

"Vomit!"

He had barely swallowed a bit of the vine when a sharp pain rose in his abdomen, and he vomited blood.

Fortunately, he had absorbed some of the strange power from the Blood Robe last time, so this time he was prepared to digest the same power.

Despite the pain, he still managed to digest the little bit of power he had swallowed and put it to his own use.

Then, he gained some power to manipulate plants, and... toxins.

Jiang Tianzong looked up and shouted at Xu Zhou, "Be careful, his vines are poisonous!"

The reason why Jiang Tianzong was praised by Xie Yu as having unlimited potential was because he could discern the other party's abilities from the strange power he swallowed.

Some strange abilities are bizarre and Contract Anomalist. If a master of divination doesn't understand them beforehand, they can easily be tricked and suffer unexpected setbacks.

If Jiang Tianzong the Weird is properly nurtured, he can easily acquire a portion of the power and ability to fight the Weird.

Xu Zhou blocked the thorny vines that were coming at him.

Upon hearing this, they avoided the barely noticeable thorns on the vines and tried to avoid being touched by them.

Controlling the vines with his Love Resentment, he smiled with some surprise and asked, "How did you find out?"

Most of the people who fought against him only learned that his vines were poisonous after they were poisoned.

To be able to detect the poisoning before it even happened, this newcomer is quite capable!

Love Resentment chuckled softly. The more outstanding someone is, the less likely they are to be kept, otherwise they will become a formidable rival once they grow up.

So he became even more ruthless.

Jiang Tianzong dodged the attacks of the vines in a sorry state. The Ghost Tongue he had contracted was not very aggressive to begin with, and it needed to constantly devour other strange creatures in order to become stronger.

So he practiced swordsmanship diligently and became quite skilled. With Xu Zhou's help, he managed to hold out against the vines' attacks.

Jiang Tianzong looked at Xu Zhou, who was standing in front of him, with a very complicated expression on his face.

He had previously faced off against Xu Zhou.

Xu Zhou was originally quite bad at fighting. He was able to defeat Jiang Tianzong powerful and Ghost Hand, while Xu Zhou was at most an assistant.

Jiang Tianzong was essentially fighting two opponents at once, which is why he was defeated by Xu Zhou.

But now...

Xu Zhou's skills suddenly improved more than tenfold, and he even fought more decisively and efficiently than Jiang Tianzong.

The movements were swift and decisive; every attack and block prepared for the next offensive, and every dodge seemed to anticipate the opponent's attack.

This fighting style and skill can only be achieved by those who have been through countless battles.

Jiang Tianzong it hard to understand why Xu Zhou's strength had suddenly become so great; it was as if he had become a completely different person.

Can the effects of the supernatural on Contract Anomalist really be that severe?

Jiang Tianzong his teeth and grabbed another piece of the severed vine, swallowing it whole.

He must become stronger.

Xu Zhou unleashed his Ghost Hand.

While wielding the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, unlike before when he simply slashed and used the sword purely with force, now he swung the sword with concise yet deadly moves.

The Great Xia Dragon Sparrow seemed to have become an extension of his body, which he wielded with ease, much like a martial artist who had attained enlightenment through the sword.

The blade flashed incessantly, slicing countless vines into pieces, preventing them from getting close to him.

Meanwhile, the Ghost Hand attacked Love Resentment, interfering with his control of the vines.

Under Xu Zhou's cover, Jiang Tianzong devoured a lot of vines, and he also began to control some of the vines to fight back.

A B- Contract Anomalist and a D- Contract Anomalist were actually fighting a stalemate against an enemy whose strength was comparable to that of a powerful A-rank Contract Anomalist.

Xie Yu wanted to see which enemy the two newcomers could handle.

He then devoted all his energy to dealing with the Evil Mouth.

The eerie occurrence of the Evil Mouth never materialized.

However, a strong, eerie aura surrounded him, and the eerie creature was hiding on his body.

Evil Mouth Xie Yu's attack, he sneered, "Is this all the strength a dignified A-rank Contract Anomalist has?"
