A 'Ji looked as if he had just suffered the worst insult.
He was so angry that his face turned red.
It had been years since someone rebutted him so mercilessly.
He finally lost control of his expression, and he shouted at the top of his lungs, "What do you mean by monopolizing all the resources here?! Everything here has always been mine!"
"Huh?"
Meng Chao and Lu Siya looked at each other.
He realized that he had unintentionally discovered a huge secret.
But the Vortex did not give them the time to continue chatting.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
It threw the Broken Claw Dragon's six claws at them like scythes.
The claws were connected to the nerve cords formed by black adhesive liquid, which allowed the claws to change their direction, speed, and angle at any moment. They looked like the Grim Reaper's scythe with chains wrapped around them.
Meng Chao, Lu Siya, and A 'Ji's pupils shrank to the size of needles.
The three of them tumbled and crawled away at the same time.
The black mucus attached to the sharp claws protruded slightly, literally 'growing eyes' as it chased after the vital parts of their necks and hearts.
After much difficulty, they managed to avoid the Vortex's attack. Two deep wounds appeared on their bodies.
"Are you sure you want to tell me the truth right now?"
A 'Ji covered the torn wound under his ribs and shouted at Meng Chao. "Haven't you noticed that even if the three of us work together, we might not be its opponent?"
Meng Chao gritted his teeth and covered his burning neck.
His carotid artery seemed to have turned into a high-pressure fire hose. Blood gushed out from between his fingers, and it only stopped after much difficulty.
He had to admit that A 'Ji was right.
Even though he was wary of the X-shaped eye on A 'Ji's chest.
He was worried that A 'Ji would be the same as his sister and have Night Demon Blood or something else sealed in him.
But now, the Vortex was their greatest enemy, and it was an enemy that they could not reconcile with.
"Cut off its tail!"
A 'Ji shouted again. "Don't let it continue absorbing Hell's Blood!"
In the beginning, to deceive everyone, the Vortex only sent out a black adhesive liquid that was thinner than blood vessels to quietly absorb the Hell's Blood that flowed all over the ground.
Even though he managed to deceive A 'Ji, his absorption speed was too slow. It was not satisfying at all.
Now, it had already torn off all its disguises. It simply mobilized a large amount of black mucus to squirm over, causing the black mucus that was as thick as a spider's silk to expand to the length and thickness of a python.
There was no need for A 'Ji to remind them. Meng Chao and Lu Siya immediately noticed the tail that was wolfing down the food.
He also realized that once the Vortex absorbed all the fragrant blue medicinal liquid on the ground, what sort of terrifying thing would happen?
"Bloody Soul, second form!"
Meng Chao no longer hesitated. His spirit flames surged, and he used his vitality magnetic field to resonate with the Red Radiance Jade crystal marrow embedded in the spine of the saber. He continued magnifying the tremors and interfering with the spherical energy layer formed by the metal atoms that formed the saber. He turned the energy into mass, and the surface of the saber was instantly covered in a layer of intersecting red marks. After it cracked, brand new teeth and blades grew out of it, and it was ten times fiercer than when it was in its normal form.
Meng Chao looked as if he was holding a ball of frozen flames. With a roar, he jumped up and slashed at the Vortex's tail.
The Vortex was hungry for more, and it did not want to stop sucking Meng Chao for even half a second.
It did not dodge. It just sent out six sharp claws to block Meng Chao's attack.
But it did not expect that when Bloody Soul was at full power, it would be even more powerful and heavy than it imagined.
At the moment the sharp claws and sabers intersected with each other, a deafening clang rose, and dazzling sparks flew. Three of the sharp claws crumbled, and the other three were also cut down.
His offense did not falter. He swung his saber and cut off the Vortex's tail, stopping it from absorbing Hell's Blood.
The Vortex flew into a rage. Hundreds of threads of black adhesive liquid that looked like spider threads shot out of its wound and connected its severed claws and tail together again. The six claws and two gaping mouths turned into thousands of shadows that charged at Meng Chao to envelop him.
"Isn't this guy too hard to deal with?"
Meng Chao gritted his teeth. He was tired of parrying the attacks. 'Even if I cut off its limbs, I can use the black adhesive liquid to repair them. It's basically regenerating endlessly. How am I supposed to fight against it?'
Meng Chao practiced the Ultimate Style, which was famous for being able to fight for a long time.
But over the past twenty-four hours, Meng Chao had first fought against Bloody Slaughter Gao Yang and Ghost Eagle Song Yu in Leprosy Village. Then, he was hit by a super crystal bomb and suffered the pain of being crushed by millions of tons of reinforced concrete.
After much difficulty, he managed to escape, but he was surrounded and intercepted by the gang members. Then, he fought against the Vortex for the first time, and he was even slapped twice by someone as powerful as Phantom Bear Xiong Wei.
He could no longer remember just how many wounds he had suffered in the past twenty-four hours and how much blood he had shed.
Even if he had Kindling's super healing abilities and Su Mulian's amazing healing abilities, the repeated tearing and healing caused all the cells in his body to be on the verge of collapse.
As he faced the Vortex's barrage of attacks, Meng Chao soon felt that he was swaying, and his strength was no longer as strong as he wanted to be.
Bloody Soul, which was originally as sturdy as steel, started showing signs of drooping.
Kacha!
The Vortex's two heads became bolder as they fought. They opened their mouths to bite Meng Chao's head again and again.
Even if their fangs were stuck by Bloody Soul's blade, the tongue covered in black adhesive liquid and spikes continued licking Meng Chao's face. With just one bite, it could tear off his facial features.
When Meng Chao smelled the foul stench from the Broken Claw Dragon's throat, he wanted to vomit. He fought back with all his might, but he could not stop the black adhesive liquid from getting closer to his eyeballs. The spikes on the "tongue" grew longer and were about to pierce his retina. He could only scream, "Big Sis Ya, save me!"
"I know!"
Lu Siya had long since pressed her hands against the floor and released a large amount of spirit energy from her palms. She was so tired that she was drenched in sweat, and it drenched her thin fighting suit.
Her chest rose and fell rapidly, but the floor did not move. Nothing had been summoned.
"The floor here is made of super alloy. You know that I can't control metal!" Lu Siya was anxious and resigned.
"… Which bastard built this immoral lab?!" Meng Chao cursed.
"Hey, why are you cursing me?!" A 'Ji glared at him.
"I'll go!"
Meng Chao shouted. The more than one hundred wounds on his body that had just healed exploded, and the rising bloody fog increased Bloody Soul's might. Finally, he pushed the Vortex away.
The beast cackled a few times and pounced forward again.
But Meng Chao had already turned Bloody Soul upside down. His eyes were wide, and with a shout, he stabbed the heavy saber surrounded by spirit flames into the floor.
The secret lab might have been made of super alloy, but there was a limit to the size of each plate.
It was impossible for the entire wall to be made of one piece. That would make too much of a ruckus, and the difficulty of construction would be too high.
Hence, even if it was laid on the floor, the largest alloy plate was no more than two meters wide.
Even if the plates were pieced together flawlessly and no gaps could be seen with the naked eye, Meng Chao was a harvester with high senses.
But Meng Chao was a harvester with incredibly high senses. Just by rubbing his toes, he felt the seam between two alloy steel plates.
The tip of Bloody Soul pierced through the gap between two steel plates without missing a beat.
As spirit energy erupted like a volcano, two steel plates that were more than ten centimeters thick instantly rose up to reveal the reinforced concrete and rock strata underneath.
Lu Siya's eyes shone. The intersecting spirit tattoos on her palms and fingertips immediately surged forward.
Hence, just like how he fought against the White Spirit under Raging Waves in the past, when the Vortex pounced on Meng Chao again, a thick and long spike shot out from between Meng Chao's legs and pierced its body.
The only difference was that this time, Lu Siya's ability to control spikes and stone dragons was ten times stronger than before.
The first spike pierced the Vortex and pinned it in the air. Soon, the second, and the third spikes followed.
In just a short three seconds, more than ten spikes stabbed the Vortex full of holes and rendered it unable to move.
But Lu Siya did not stop attacking.
There was a mottled red on her face, and her pale lips trembled at high speed. She used sound waves to control the spirit energy magnetic field and a large amount of reinforced concrete to pile on the Vortex. Soon, the creature was buried and turned into an ugly concrete statue. Only half of its head was exposed.
"D-Did you kill it?"
Meng Chao's heart was still pounding in fear. He gritted his teeth and wanted to raise his saber to cut off the exposed half of the Vortex's head.
But blood gushed out of his body, and he could not stop it. His fingers and arms trembled so much that he could not even lift the harvesting blades that were as thin as a cicada's wings.
With a clang, Bloody Soul fell to the ground. The sawtooth and fangs shrank back, and it returned to its first form.
He tried three times, but he could not lift Bloody Soul again.
He could only place his hopes on Lu Siya.
But Lu Siya grunted and swayed.
Blood flowed out of her nose, ears, and mouth in zigzagging streams.
It had been a long time since she, the Queen Bee, was in such a pathetic state.
"Run! I'm almost there! I can't last anymore!" She smiled brokenly at Meng Chao.
"What?!" Meng Chao was shocked.
"Kacha kacha, kacha kacha!"
Intersecting cracks appeared on the reinforced concrete sealing the Vortex. With each second, the cracks became longer and wider. Meng Chao could vaguely see foul-smelling and thick black smoke seeping out from the depths of the cracks.
Soon, the reinforced concrete around the Vortex's head shattered and flew away.
It revealed its ugly face again and licked its fangs with black adhesive liquid. It smiled savagely at Meng Chao and Lu Siya.
"Move."
Just when they felt their skin crawl, A 'Ji's cold voice came from behind them.
