The gentle drizzle pattered on the oil-paper umbrella, making a soothing sound.
" Jixue! Xiunuosi! Run! Retreat!"
Lei Yong and Gu Gongming ran wildly toward the wolf and the man, screaming at the top of their lungs.
It was as if the person behind them wasn't that gentle and refined man, but rather the Grim Reaper who could take their lives at any moment.
Rain dripped down the ribs of the umbrella.
Nan Tian gazed at them with his deep eyes, then slightly parted his lips and sighed softly.
The oil-paper umbrella swayed slightly, and the light rain that was falling all around instantly stopped, as if it had all frozen in place.
The oil-paper umbrella was slowly folded up, and then, pointing it at the direction Lei Yong and Gu Gongming were running, the umbrella gently touched one of the raindrops.
A ripple spread outwards from the raindrops, as if a calm surface of water had been gently touched.
The next moment, the tiny raindrop shot out like a bullet, and at the same time, all the previously still raindrops were also propelled out.
Like a giant beast shrouded in gloom, it shattered all the raindrops along its path and roared as it charged toward the two of them.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lei Yong immediately deployed a shield to surround himself, and then stood in front of Gu Gongming.
A series of rapid, clanging sounds echoed on Lei Yong's shield, and cracks appeared on its surface.
Although the shield wasn't shattered, the powerful impact still sent Lei Yong and Gu Gongming flying backward, crashing to the ground in a sorry state.
Nan Tian did not press his advantage.
Instead, he went to the child who was kneeling on the ground, clutching his head, because of a splitting headache.
He reached out and gently stroked the other person's head.
The child immediately felt a refreshing sensation, and his previously splitting headache instantly subsided.
He looked up at Nan Tian, his pure, large eyes filled with gratitude.
"Okay, thank you for holding on for so long, you're great. When we get back, I'll take you to the amusement park."
"Yes!" The child nodded emphatically.
"Go and rest, leave the rest to me."
After saying that, he opened the oil-paper umbrella and handed it to the child, saying, "Don't catch a cold."
Then, he slowly walked up to Bai Yu, who was bound hand and foot.
With a slight thought, the ropes binding Bai Yu loosened automatically, and he immediately sat up, but the intense weakness almost made him fall over.
A force pulled him up, allowing him to sit up.
Nan Tian walked over, bent down, and picked up his arm, which had turned purple.
Slowly pass it over, allowing the severed arms to reconnect.
To Bai Yu's horrified gaze, the severed arm miraculously grew back.
"Luckily, the incision was relatively clean, otherwise there would have been nothing I could have done."
"Alright, you should rest too. Don't move this arm for now. Also, be prepared that there might be some aftereffects."
Bai Yu looked at his right hand, which was slowly becoming engorged with blood, and lowered his head with a complicated expression.
" Chi Jiu, stop fighting for a second, come here for a moment."
Nan Tian's voice was soft, but it seemed to possess some kind of magic, traveling hundreds of meters steadily into the ears of Chi Jiu was engaged in fierce combat.
Chi Jiu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Jixue standing in front of him, standing on the smog and roaring at him.
A surge of overwhelming fighting spirit rose again, and with a roar, he swooped forward to engage in battle.
"Sigh... what an active child."
Nan Tian shook his head helplessly, said nothing more, and turned his gaze to Lei Yong and the others.
Both of them became alert.
Brown wasn't with them now, and after their previous attempt, they realized they couldn't escape.
So now we can only do everything we can to survive in their hands.
Nan Tian looked at them, his lips slightly parted.
Before he could say anything, a 'door' opened up the space and appeared directly in front of him.
Nan Tian's eyes remained unchanged, and his body shifted backward in an uncanny way, easily dodging the attack that could cut through anything.
"Let's kill him together!!!"
Brown appeared in front of them in an instant, dragging a 'door' in his hand and roaring, then charged towards Nan Tian like a madman.
Upon hearing this, Lei Yong and Gu Gongming launched an attack on Nan Tian without asking why or even hesitating.
It was all because of their trust in their captain.
Even Xiunuosi, who was Chi Jiu in the sky, changed his target.
They charged Nan Tian, using both hands and feet.
Nan Tian immediately became the target of everyone's attacks, with most of the [Godslaying] Squad members launching an attack on him.
Nan Tian remained steadfast in place, enduring the onslaught of fierce attacks.
" Ghost Purple Intestine!"
A whisper as chilling as hell echoed, and as Brown's pupils contracted, a serpentine purple trail, like a python, locked onto everyone.
The next moment, a series of collisions and cutting sounds rang out as Ye Qing's blade fell.
He stood steadily a short distance away, sword in hand, still in the stance of wielding his sword.
Behind him was a 'gut' that connected all the [Godslaying] Squad, shielding Nan Tian from all attacks.
Brown used the door to escape at the first moment, but his slow-moving right hand was still mercilessly severed.
Lei Yong suffered a wound on his abdomen that completely cut through the flesh.
Gu Gongming was nearly cut in half at the waist by this blow; half of his cervical vertebrae were severed.
Only Xiunuosi, protected by the pink shield, remained unharmed, merely being bounced away.
Sweat dripped from Ye Qing's heaving chest. He turned his head to look at the situation behind him and clicked his tongue in displeasure.
"The power this time was too weak. If it were at its peak, it should have been able to cut them all in half."
The katana, gripped tightly, trembled violently, emitting a metallic clanging sound.
"Ugh, this won't do... Using Ghost Purple Intestine twice in one day, if I fight again, it'll force me to split..."
After saying that, Ye Qing knelt on the ground and started to hang up the game.
" Gu Gongming!!"
Ignoring his own injuries, Lei Yong rushed to Gu Gongming was lying on the ground beside him.
"Wait, come back!!!"
Brown quickly opened a 'door,' reached his hand inside, grabbed Lei Yong from a distance, and pulled him over.
The very next second, the spot where Lei Yong had been standing was shredded to pieces by countless spider silk threads.
"Oh, what a pity, just a little bit short."
In the dim gloom, Ye Linwan slowly walked out, a look of regret on her beautiful face.
"Roar--!!!"
Xiunuosi saw Ye Linwan, who was closest to him, and charged straight at her without thinking.
Ye Linwan looked at the other person, her expression becoming somewhat conflicted.
Finally, as if struck by a sudden realization, she punched her other hand with her fist, having come up with a solution.
With a gentle swipe of its eight spider legs, countless strands of resilient spider silk surged forth and enveloped Xiunuosi.
"Roar--!!!"
Xiunuosi struggled incessantly, tearing at the spider silk with its split teeth and claws, but the silk only bound it more and more, until it was wrapped into a spider pupa.
"Okay, that solves the problem."
