CHAPTER 283: CHAPTER 283 INVINCIBLE SCAVENGER KING

This fire is different from the fire Chi Ba played with earlier; it seems to possess a spirituality of its own, rising swiftly with the wind and instantaneously forming a massive light orb.

Lu Zechuan frowned. Song Yi was an assistant at Jufang Pavilion. Previously, when these Corpse Refiners led him here, it was Song Yi who stepped in to help.

So, for now, Song Yi is an ally.

Thinking of this, Lu Zechuan kicked the man under his feet toward the light orb. The man’s face was filled with extreme terror, but in mid-air, he couldn’t control his body to stop, and could only watch helplessly as he was consumed by the flames...

A piercing scream emanated from the light orb, which soon came to an abrupt stop.

Lu Zechuan did not even furrow a brow, as he slowly turned around to glance at Xia Mian standing behind him, "Are you done on your side?"

Xia Mian hummed in response and walked up to Lu Zechuan’s side.

Luckily, it was just a false alarm, and Lu Zechuan was unharmed.

Xia Mian was sincerely happy for Lu Zechuan. When she first met him, he was plagued by misfortune. Now, having learned Taoist Techniques, he could solve various troubles on his own, and seemed to no longer need her...

"You treacherous couple, bury my Chi Ba with you!" The woman’s face was twisted, her lips moving incessantly, releasing a series of spells and commands. After devouring one Corpse Refiner, the fireball seemed to burn even hotter and grow larger.

The plants close to the light orb were instantly scorched and withered.

Xia Mian frowned and waved her hand. With her gesture, the soft soil on the ground condensed into an earthen dragon that charged toward the light orb!

The moist soil, imbued with Xia Mian’s Spiritual Power, merged into the fireball, which suddenly sputtered as if doused with cold water.

The incompatibility of water and fire caused the fireball to quickly shrink.

Under the woman’s horrified gaze, it turned completely into blue smoke!

"How can this be!?" The woman’s eyes were filled with shock.

This fire, unlike Chi Ba’s, was Hellfire she obtained at tremendous risk, nearly venturing into Hell!

No mere girl from the Mystical World, not even a true master with high Cultivation, could extinguish it!

Yet now, Xia Mian had extinguished her fire!

"With just this bit of skill, you dare boast about revenge?" Xia Mian sneered coldly, her gaze indifferently resting on the woman.

The woman was covered in numerous injuries. It seemed that Lu Zechuan had shown no mercy before she arrived.

If it weren’t for the men protecting her, the woman would likely have met her demise long ago.

Xia Mian was never one to be kind-hearted, especially to enemies, she would not speak of mercy.

She lightly pointed her finger at the woman, curling her lips into a slow smile, "Since you like that despicable man, go down and accompany him!"

With Xia Mian’s gesture, the Little Black Cat, previously crouching quietly, suddenly pounced!

The docile cat instantly bared its fangs, tearing the woman apart...

After shredding the woman, the cat, as if in disdain, spat several times like a human.

Then, it kept rubbing its mouth with its paws.

Beside them, Song Yi was stunned, realizing that the black cat was the one his foolish brother had taken a liking to!

Yet now, this black cat obeyed Xia Mian!

Song Yi turned to look at Xia Mian, wondering if this woman had picked up his foolish brother’s leftovers?!

Noticing Song Yi’s gaze, Xia Mian slowly looked up at him and smiled faintly, "We’re even now."

When Xia Mian’s words reached Song Yi’s ears, he felt a sinking sensation in his heart.

Earlier, the woman’s words had made it clear that his presence allowed Lu Zechuan to react in time and quickly counter these Corpse Refiners, but Xia Mian didn’t thank him, she said they were even!

Could this mean that Xia Mian always knew he had previously let the Corpse Refiners off?

Always knew, yet never came to trouble him...

Song Yi involuntarily shivered, feeling a chill run down his spine.

If he hadn’t come to his senses in time and chosen Xia Mian’s side, would she have come for revenge once she dealt with her current troubles?

"This time, this assistant helped me a lot." Lu Zechuan raised his hand and ruffled Xia Mian’s hair. "Without him, it wouldn’t have been so easy to lure those people."

Ever since entering Jufang Pavilion, he sensed being watched. When Xia Mian began the soul-swapping process for Gu Zhi and Xia Weizhang, these people couldn’t hold back, trying to attack while her attention was fully on the soul swap!

However, he had been prepared, guarding outside so these people had no chance.

To avoid disturbing Xia Mian, Lu Zechuan deliberately left a flaw, allowing them to capture him.

Song Yi followed them out and saved him when they intended to kill him without hesitation.

Even though Song Yi acted differently from Qin Shuang, the favor deserved acknowledgment.

"What do you plan to do with these people?" Song Yi turned to look at the battered Corpse Refiners on the ground.

"Kill them!" Xia Mian said without hesitation. Such wicked things are a waste of air if alive.

As soon as Xia Mian’s words fell, the people on the ground scrambled together, their faces pale with fear, "Don’t push us too far!"

Xia Mian curled her lips into a faint smile, "Do you even deserve to be human?"

Before her words had fully settled, she was already poised to make a move.

Seeing no way to live, those people no longer cared about anything, displaying their best skills.

"Release the Corpse Puppets!" Someone shouted angrily!

The Corpse Puppets were originally intended to be sold, but now, with their lives at stake, what was the use of them?

With that shout, all the Corpse Refiners began to move, summoning the Corpse Puppets they crafted.

The forest light suddenly dimmed, a wind rose from the ground, hissing and wailing like ghostly cries at night.

Within the whispering wind, bizarre figures descended from above.

Xia Mian squinted her eyes, gazing deeply at the battered Corpse Refiners before her.

The power of the Corpse Puppets, she had heard Xie Chengming mention it at an auction.

However, crafting Corpse Puppets required a high skill level; the higher the cultivation, the more formidable the puppet, whereas those with ordinary cultivation could only craft mediocre puppets.

Thus, even though these people used their supposedly last resort, in Xia Mian’s eyes, it was merely a joke.

"Corpse Puppets... ha, I’ve suddenly changed my mind. I won’t let you die so easily..." Xia Mian’s eyes narrowed slightly. The most devastating revenge is often returning cruelty with cruelty.
