Chapter 406: Attacks

They were attacked, just as Sage expected, but in a manner he wasnt expecting. It was an assassination attempt, that wasnt unusual, but the method was. Ruanfu and Baozhai were in a careful state of awareness while also talking about nonsense to pass the time. With sudden speed, Ruanfu thrust her fist into the air and struck a small object falling down towards Baozhai from the ceiling. Without any time to see what it was, she hopped back and struck another object that was falling where her head had been a moment earlier.

Baozhai also jumped out of her seat, but she didnt know what she was avoiding. As a body cultivator her speed could nearly keep up with Ruanfu, but her senses were not equal. While Ruanfu was dealing with the objects falling from the ceiling, the floor beneath Baozhai burst open and a dark object darted towards her leg. She started to lift her right leg to kick it, but the thing zipped forward like lightning and collided with her other left leg. Baozhai felt pressure on her calf and then her foot came down and there was a loud squish. Another hole burst open behind Ruanfu, but she spun around and a white light flashed, striking the new enemy and stopping it in place.

Everything went still for a moment and the two women finally had the chance to examine what attacked them. A glossy black carapace sat next to Baozhais leg, it had a many segmented body that was already smashed up in a few places from her violent kicks. Many thorn-like protrusions extended from either side of the thing, but they were also segmented and Baozhai realized what it was when she saw the large mandibles. A black centipede the size of a firehose, it had burst through the floor and bit into her leg. She had only felt pressure and no pain. Beside Ruanfu, there was another centipede with a foot long feather poking out from its head. Then Baozhai looked at her wound and saw it was already turning black around the edges, yet still she felt nothing. Ruanfu examined the wound as well and she frowned, Protect yourself and stay here.The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñøv€l-B1n.

Baozhai wavered on her feet and then fell back onto her seat while Ruanfu stormed out of the room and into the main hall of the City Lords Manor. Icy winds started to swirl around her, and snow was dusted over everything in the hall. Her aura was infused into the snow and she could sense everything they touched, revealing the enemies hidden in the large main hall.

They pulled away Ruanfu and thought this thing could take me out.

Sage was actually quite impressed with the creature they sent after him. That centipede was already at the peak of tier 5 and would have given Wu Chang quite the fight. He looked down at the smoking black spot on the centipedes head. As impressive as it was, the centipede couldnt stand up to that poison. Third Eyes End. It was an unusual creation, a poison that only had its full effect if it struck its victim on the forehead. It burrowed right through bone and then started burning. In some ways it was sort of like an acid, melting a concentrated point instead of spreading through the body. On the other hand, it was only like a small lance of poison until it struck bone after which it would burrow through and then burn. Most points on the body that it could strike would only end up with a small puncture, or a hole in a bone and a burn. Even if it hit a rib and then started burning next to the heart it wasnt fatal, merely debilitating, it just wasnt hot enough. It had some sort of odd reaction with brain matter, or the signals in the brain, which made it burn hotter.

Thankfully, the poison seemed to treat the carapace like a bone and then triggered inside the centipedes brain. Sage used an extra large dose to make sure it was effective and was relieved to see it worked. If it hadnt, he would have been quite delayed. As it was now, he looked to the Tiankong children and smiled, Alright, lets go back up your sister.

The group of six rushed out towards the main hall. Songji disappeared into a shadow. Jiyao sliced open space and hopped into the rip. Juzui drew his sword and already it started to grow colder as he summoned winter. Tujiu grabbed Baozhais hand and then jumped onto his spear, rocketing through the air. Sage hung back a bit, letting the five of them enjoy the action. Hed already been observing the situation outside with his Twin Soul, so he already knew what they were heading into.
