Era of Magic and Martial Arts

Chapter 444 - 428: My Strength Now Is Terrifying

The monster, whose internal organs had been partially devoured, howled frantically.

Its eyes were bloodshot, and the muscles beneath its scales throbbed violently with anger, as if they might burst at any moment.

It suddenly grabbed a nearby monster, spun in place like it was throwing a shot put, and hurled the monster fiercely toward Feng Yuhuai.

The flung monster shot toward Feng Yuhuai like a cannonball, with a thunderous rush of wind.

Its limbs flailed wildly in the air, and its claws shimmered with a cold light.

Feng Yuhuai’s pupils shrunk to the size of a needlepoint, her reactions were nothing if not swift.

She bent her legs and powered down at the waist and hips, her whole body springing out like a tightly coiled spring.

The moment she touched the ground, her left hand supported her, her five fingers clawed into the rust-stained pipe wall like steel talons, rotating her wrist in a semicircular motion, and the friction between her knuckles and the ground produced a teeth-gritting screech.

Instantly, her body spun like a top, her flowing red hair slicing through the air in a sharp arc, emitting a "zila-la" cutting sound.

She darted forward several meters, so fast it was nearly impossible to perceive her movements.

Boom——

The monster crashed heavily to the ground like a small hill. Sewage and muck exploded several meters high and then poured down like a torrential rain.

The impact of its fall created a shocking crater in the pipe, and nearby concrete chunks and steel bars shot in all directions like stray bullets.

Feng Yuhuai’s body shook, and she let out a muffled groan.

Her right thigh and left arm were slashed by flying shards, the flesh rolled back to expose bloody wounds.

Worse yet, a length of rusty rebar was slanted through her abdomen, with blood dripping down the steel, staining her clothing red.

Feng Yuhuai’s face darkened suddenly, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

This wide-range attack, like stray bullets, was unavoidable unless she could transform her entire body into red threads.

Yet in the distance, the wobbling unmanned drone still hung around like a stalking creep, its lens firmly focused on her, recording her every move.

Feng Yuhuai’s body twisted midair, her waist bending at ninety degrees, leaving two charred marks where her shoes scraped the pipe wall.

Upon landing, her face was cold and devoid of pain, as she gripped the rebar piercing her abdomen and yanked it out forcefully.

The rebar was pulled free, leaving a trail of blood in its wake, exposing the bleeding hole in the air as blood gurgled out.

Feng Yuhuai gritted her teeth, tearing off her outer garment rapidly, turning the fabric into strips that she tightly wrapped around her abdomen.

Her movements were crisp and efficient, exuding a chill more terrifying than the monsters.

The monsters, when injured, would wail and go berserk from pain, but not Feng Yuhuai.

There was no expression of pain on her face, not even a furrow of her brow, as if the bleeding body had nothing to do with her.

It’s hard to imagine that not long ago, in some abandoned building, fighting alongside Cang Qingsen and Mask, she would still scream in agony from wounds and pain.

At that time, she seemed to still retain some human fragility and fear, but now...

Put under pressure, people have no idea just how terrifying they can become until they are forced to darken.

"The current me is not on the same level as the old me. I’m so strong now that even I fear myself. Were I to encounter that Mask again, I might just teach him a lesson he won’t forget!"

Feng Yuhuai’s thoughts wandered for half a breath before she quickly refocused.

Once the wound was covered in cloth, crimson threads suddenly burgeoned from the rotting wound, akin to thousands of greedy red snakes crawling into the rolling flesh, binding the flesh and intestines tightly back together.

In less than two breaths, the once gushing hole had healed, leaving only a dark red scar winding over her pale skin like a sinister tattoo.

The wounds on her thigh and arm, Feng Yuhuai did not have the time to treat, allowing the blood to flow freely.

Because, the monsters’ next wave of attacks had arrived.

The monster that had fallen to the ground stared up at Feng Yuhuai, revealing a disfigured face.

Its entire face was covered in scales, the once-smooth surface marred with chaotic white scars, as if scraped by countless blades, scars crisscrossing densely.

However, the scales were too hard and not completely cut through, leaving only its saucer-sized eyes unable to shut, having been gouged out by Feng Yuhuai’s hair, leaving bleeding black holes.

"Blind and still staring at me?"

Feng Yuhuai ran her fingers through her hair, casually pulling out two glass beads threaded through her strands.

"You want them back, here you go!"

Feng Yuhuai raised her hand, throwing the two glass-like beads, which spun violently, drawing two straight trajectories in the air, heading directly toward the wide-eyed drone.

The monster’s ears twitched but felt restless and uneasy due to its lost vision, frantically thrashing its tail on the spot, making a "pop pop" sound.

The other monsters ignored the flying eyeballs, except for the one with a t-shirt on its head, whose curiosity got the better of it.

It raised its hand and caught one of the eyeballs with precision, then, without hesitation, shoved it into its mouth, chewing it up like Sugar Beans with a "crunch crunch" sound.

Thud——

The drone was hit straight by another eyeball, flipping and crashing to the ground with a dull thud.

Joy was just beginning to show on Feng Yuhuai’s face when she saw the drone miraculously rise shakily again.

Its single eye had a series of cracks from the hit, and its wings spewed gray smoke with a "sizzle" sound, as if at any moment it would completely break down.

However, it stubbornly persisted, using its tragically beaten gaze to continue staring intently at Feng Yuhuai.

Its tenacity shocked Feng Yuhuai, but it also infuriated the monsters collectively.

Their comrade’s internal organs were stolen, but they didn’t collectively rage; their comrade’s eyes were gouged out, they didn’t go berserk; but when the drone behind got attacked....

The monsters simultaneously erupted in collective rage!!!

Their throats released low growls, the scales on their bodies stood slightly, their aura suddenly surging dramatically, filling the air with a suffocating pressure.

Feng Yuhuai was momentarily stunned, then her face turned dark as she beat a rapid retreat, dodging the lunges of several monsters.

One monster launched itself at her fiercely, Feng Yuhuai sidestepped, reversed her grip on the steel bar, and stabbed it toward the monster’s neck.

"Clang——"

Sparks flew as the rust-covered rod couldn’t penetrate the monster’s scales, merely scraping off half a scale and drawing out a strand of green pus.

Pus sprayed, splattering onto Feng Yuhuai’s shoulder, immediately corroding a chunk of flesh and making the surrounding skin appear subtly poisoned with a hint of blackness.

"Hiss——"

Feng Yuhuai’s expression changed as she swiftly retreated her steps to evade.

Another monster lunged at her from the side, its terrifying tail whipping and nearly grazing her scalp, taking a strand of red hair with it.

Feng Yuhuai moved with the agility of a snake, weaving through the narrow pipe, spinning and maneuvering skillfully, hurling the steel bar in reverse, aiming for the monster’s eyes.

However, the monster was not stupid, but rather, ferocious.

It dipped its head swiftly, the hard skull and layers of scales forcefully blocking the steel bar’s assault.

The clash of steel and scales produced an ear-piercing metal grinding noise, sending sparks flying.

The monster wasn’t deterred, accelerating its pace, arms wide, lunging at Feng Yuhuai with force.

At the same time, Feng Yuhuai’s ears picked up the faint sound of walls being chiseled behind her in the pipes.

Her pupils contracted sharply as her gaze swept swiftly across the monsters, suddenly realizing—the monster wearing pajamas was nowhere to be seen...
