However, no matter how ferocious Evil Scholar was, he was at a natural disadvantage due to his lack of strength. After being attacked by several Rank 3 jade dragons, his body was soon covered in wounds.
Black Crow was focusing all his attention on Blood Bat so he couldn't split his attention. Both sides were barely able to maintain a stalemate even though this balance could be broken at any moment.
"Old Black, think of something, or my life will end here!" Evil Scholar shouted. He really could not hold on any longer.
In the underworld, he was a good cook, a good storyteller, and knowledgeable. These were his strengths but he couldn't fight. His white cat wasn't too powerful either so he was barely holding on.
He was no match for an expert like Black Crow. According to Evil Scholar, those at Black Crow's level were all freaks. But now, he was fighting against a freak. Who could stand against that?
Black Crow was getting anxious.
However, Blood Bat wasn't weak either. Her pet beast was also a Rank 4 and had incredible recovery abilities. If he was given more time, he was confident he could defeat her. But for now, the outcome of the battle wouldn't be decided.
"Scholar, hold on a little longer. The battle here is quite loud. Ghost Child and Coffin Man must have noticed it. Either one of them will be able to overwhelm the other."
Black Crow's voice wasn't soft. Not only was he speaking to Evil Scholar, but he was also speaking to Blood Bat and Python Monk's group.
This was called psychological warfare.
Sure enough, Python Monk's expression changed at his words.
Ghost Child?
Coffin Man?
If it was someone else, they really might not have heard of it. But they were all from the Corrupt path, and they were in the top twenty of the Corrupt path. How could they not know each other?
Even if he hadn't seen him before, his name was like a thunderclap piercing through his ears.
There was no doubt that both Ghost Child and Coffin Man were existences that he and Blood Bat couldn't afford to offend, especially Madam Ghost Child. Back in South Continent, she was someone who could stop a child from crying. She was a terrifying existence that even villainous experts wouldn't dare to provoke.
In fact, quite a number of villainous experts had died in Madam Ghost Child's hands.
Python Monk urged with an ugly expression. Blood Bat didn't look too good either. She knew how terrifying those two were. If it was really as Black Crow said, that even someone like Madam Ghost Child was here, then they should run immediately.
Their employer, the man in the cloak and tall hat, smirked. "How could you believe a scam like this? Whether it's real or not, let's kill these people first. Then, we won't have to be afraid even if experts show up. Also, don't forget, this is Jade Dragon Kingdom. "
His voice was filled with absolute confidence.
Although this person had never revealed his identity, judging from the fact that he could control a jade dragon, this person was most likely an official of the Jade Dragon Kingdom. Not to mention, he was quite influential too. Python Monk and Blood Bat had an innate advantage over the others.
"Since that's the case, let's go all out." Python Monk grinned maliciously and played his flute again. The python strangling White Ape grew thicker.
Not only that, more than ten small garland snakes as thick as fingers slithered out from Python Monk's sleeves. After these snakes emerged, Python Monk looked as if he had aged more than ten years in an instant. In the next instant, these snakes pounced on Old Taoist, Black Crow, and Evil Scholar.
"Be careful, these snakes are poisonous!" Black Crow's pupils constricted when he saw this, and he used all his strength to control the black falcon. However, the Blood Bat was also surrounded by a bloody mist, and its speed doubled. It entangled the black falcon, making it unable to split its attention.
In the distance, at Hu Tea House.
Sensing something, Ghost Child stood up and looked in the direction where Black Crow and Evil Scholar went. After a moment of thought, she turned to Coffin Man and gave him an order.
"Old Coffin, stay here. If Curator's disciple comes, remember to be respectful. I feel something's off over there. I'll go check it out."
After saying that, Ghost Baby's figure flashed and disappeared without a trace.
The Coffin Man nodded to himself and turned to look at Old Hu. The latter was very concerned and did not even dare to breathe loudly, hoping that the strange man would leave as soon as possible.
Python Monk's dozen little snakes were already in front of Black Crow and the others. The situation suddenly became perilous.
Just then, Madam Ghost Child arrived.
Carrying her swaddle, she scanned her surroundings. Although she didn't know what was going on, there was no need to know at a time like this. All she had to do was attack.
Seeing Madam Ghost Child, Evil Scholar and Black Crow were delighted. Evil Scholar was initially afraid of Madam Ghost Child, but at this moment, he felt that Madam Ghost Child was as close to him as the Bodhisattva in his temple.
He was happy and worried at the same time.
Python Monk and Blood Bat were shocked to see Madam Ghost Child.
Had it been any other day, they would be terrified if they encountered Madam Ghost Child, let alone now. They were practically using all their strength and had no strength left.
Now that Madam Ghost Child was here, they were at their wit's end.
Even their employer, the mysterious man in the tall-hat, was taken aback. However, he was quick-witted enough to shout, "Madam Ghost Child of South Continent, Black Crow and Evil Scholar of West Continent, why are villainous experts like you interfering in the affairs of our Jade Dragon Kingdom? This has nothing to do with you. Don't cause trouble for yourselves and leave now."
He was obviously giving them a way out. However, Madam Ghost Child was an eccentric person. If she wanted to take action, she would never discuss it with others. Moreover, she disdained doing so.
Just like now, she walked towards them as if she didn't hear the man's words. Although it was just a few slow steps, Python Monk and the others felt immense pressure.
Suddenly, a dragon's roar came from the direction of the Dragon Temple. Strangely, only Madam Ghost Child could hear it.
In an instant, Madam Ghost Child's expression changed and she stopped in her tracks.
"A Rank 5 dragon!"
Madam Ghost Child sensed a powerful force from the dragon's roar. It was a warning, a blatant warning.
Madam Ghost Child could no longer keep her cool.
If there was a Rank 5 dragon, even if she and Coffin Man joined forces, they still wouldn't stand a chance.
Under normal circumstances, if it wasn't related to core interests, the safest course of action would be to retreat.
At the very least, they could avoid a conflict with the Rank 5 dragon.
However, Madam Ghost Child didn't retreat immediately. She looked at Black Crow, asking for his opinion.
After all, Madam Ghost Child had no idea what happened here. But if someone like Black Crow decided to get involved, there must be a reason.
Black Crow didn't hear the dragon's roar either. But judging from Madam Ghost Child's reaction, there had to be something that made her so fearful.
Hence, Black Crow immediately shouted, "That fire wolf over there might be the pet beast of Curator's disciple."
Upon hearing this, Madam Ghost Child understood why Black Crow was involved in this matter.
She looked at the fire wolf restrained by a Rank 4 jade dragon. She knew that if this fire wolf belonged to Curator's disciple, she had to intervene.
Even if she had to deal with a Rank 5 dragon, she couldn't back down.
