Calamity Messenger

Chapter 191 - 150: Blood Steward Zhong Ji (Part 2)

"That little girl is off! Really off!" The demonic messenger who jumped off the cliff was in shock: "She... for a moment, her speed was incredibly fast."

"Feng Langjun, if you’re useless, don’t blame others. Everyone knows she’s off. She must have some Rare Treasure Token on her!" The demonic messenger below the cliff heard the voice and knew he was exposed, so he came out and mocked: "The four War Generals have already gone over. Capturing them would be a great achievement. Shame it won’t be yours."

Though most credit belongs to Zhong Ji, he promised the one with the greatest merit would get a Rare Treasure Token, while others would only receive Spiritual Jade rewards. The four War Generals were the most capable under the Blood Phase Sect, excelling in group tactics, with a record of quickly killing the Third-Turn Messenger, even causing the other three Great Guardians to fear them.

Others, hearing the four War Generals had gone over, began to hurl insults and threats at Rabbit Heroine and Pharmacist’s Wish, attempting to lure them down so they could claim the credit.

"How about it? Want to go down?" Pharmacist’s Wish sneered: "A bunch of rabble, I guarantee I can lead you out, killing as we go along!"

"No hurry, since someone wants to come to us, why should we tire ourselves?" Rabbit Heroine took her time repairing the token: "Besides, the terrain here is narrow. No matter how many come, they can’t fully deploy... They’re coming."

Four Red Name Messengers in black cloaks approached from the other side of the cliff, stepping in unison, uniformly synchronized, even their heights barely differed, clearly showing them to be the type who, ’even if there’s only one opponent, we all charge together’.

"Surrender all your tokens, and we might let you leave." The leader spoke.

"Eat bitter melon and kill yourself, perhaps then this Female Knight might spare you, Li Baikai." Rabbit Heroine lazily responded.

Li Baikai’s face changed. On Shu Dao Mountain, he always showed himself under a false name, even Blood Phase didn’t know his true name. His tone turned icy, murderous intent overflowing: "Seeking death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the four War Generals simultaneously charged, four identical black-light spears emerged from their cloaks, targeting all Rabbit Heroine’s escape paths!

The air filled with urgent wind sounds akin to a crow’s call, thus this tactic was called Raven Funeral.

Their spears were identical tokens, transformed into Demonic Path Tokens through the same secret refining technique. The spear’s power was simple; after one hit, it would leave a Spiritual Power weakness on the enemy, causing double damage on the next attack, and the Spiritual Power weakness wouldn’t disappear.

Because all four spears were identical, the weakness caused by other spears could be triggered by each. In the best scenario, when all four spears launched a second attack, each could deal five times the damage, and due to the Demonic Path Token, these damages ignore defensive tokens, inflicting direct harm, even a Third-Turn Messenger from Military Town would fall instantly!

Raven Funeral, true to its name.

They honed this tactic by staying inseparable, even familiar with each other’s blood aura. No one could evade their combined attack, especially in this terrain, unless they jumped down into a circle of over a dozen demonic messengers!

In Li Baikai’s confident gaze, Rabbit Heroine jumped into the gap between the spears with an extremely awkward posture. Their tactic theoretically had no flaws, but alas, this was their first encounter with such a small-sized enemy, hence a fatal mistake appeared.

Brilliant starlight flashed, stunning Li Baikai’s eyes. When he regained his composure, he found he had been stabbed at least ten times, yet his defensive token showed no reaction...

"She’s the Heavy Rain Messenger!" Li Baikai finally recognized: "She has a delayed eruption token... retreat quickly!"

"Too late."

Another two hundred Spiritual Jades vanished, the shine ended, Li Baikai and another War General also blossomed countless blood flowers. After several fights, Yan Qing accurately judged Rabbit Heroine’s output and these demonic messengers’ defenses, claiming at least two lives of the Second-Turn Messengers in a rainstorm.

Incidentally, achieved the "Asura Enemy" milestone, effect was good too.

"Asura Enemy: Damage caused by you to defensive tokens +5%."

"Based on your level, you can currently obtain the following Asura milestone info."

"Asura Public Enemy: You have slain a hundred Asuras (10/100)"

Losing two War Generals, the remaining two instinctively attempted to retreat, but Pharmacist’s Wish had already taken the opportunity to charge behind them, blocking their way, even sending them back if they attempted to jump off.

Meanwhile, the demonic messengers in the mountain path erupted in chaos, uncertainty in the air:

"Heavy Rain Messenger? That little girl? Impossible, it should be referring to that Third-Turn."

"But most Heavy Rain Messengers become incapacitated after using the rain once, could it be another Prajna?"

"How could it be, Prajna is—"

While they were discussing, a War General jumped down the cliff, landing face-first. He looked up at the demonic messengers, saying nothing as he raised his spear and stabbed, accidentally piercing the closest red name straight through!

As he stabbed, he shouted in terror: "It’s the rain, it’s the Heavy Rain Messenger, doomed, we’re doomed, I can’t die, I don’t want to die!"

The demonic messengers scattered.

"You bastard dare to act!"

"He’s insane, the War General has gone blood-crazy, stay away!"

"Where’s the other one? Dead too?"

"Could it really be the Heavy Rain Messenger? And seeing this behavior, it seems they can use the rain multiple times... could it be another Prajna?"

The War General seemed deaf to others’ words, immersed entirely in his own realm, perceiving everyone as bathed in hostile, malicious blood light. Having lost his sworn brothers, he refused to fall, seeking revenge, aiming to kill them all—

At this moment, a strong hand grabbed his collarbone, the pain nearly made him scream, yet his defensive token remained inactive.

The War General turned, spotting another ’enemy’ drenched in blood light, he instinctively thrust his spear: "Die!—"

Crack, the War General’s head was forcefully torn off, his neck gushed a half-length blood fountain, unleashing a bloody storm on the mountain path.

Blood Steward Zhong Ji stood amidst the blood rain, the demonic messengers fell silent, malicious and expectant, keen to see how Zhong Ji would handle losing four War Generals.

"Weren’t you heading to kill at Shu Dao Mountain?" Zhong Ji clapped his hands, calmly said: "Come down, and fight with me."
