At night, Nanzhao's infrastructure was not very good. Of course, the poor comparison was China or Yanhuang in the 21st century. After dark, most of the towns here were completely shrouded in darkness.
In this pitch-black darkness, a majestic figure quickly flashed through several alleys, moving towards the location of the court while maintaining concealment.
As the town's highest authority and an important violent organ, the Court of Inquiry occupies a large area and is surrounded by a relatively open area with few obstructions. In addition, there are glowing poisonous insects on all four sides to maintain the most basic light, so it is not possible to sneak through directly.
In addition, it should be mentioned that these luminous poisonous insects were specially found by Tang Yu today. The Tribunal did not have such an arrangement in the past. They did not need it at all, not only because of the powerful formation built on the earth veins, but also because they did not need to rely on human eyes to detect intruders at night.
Soon, Xiongba arrived not far from the court. He stopped in the shadow of the outermost building. In front of him was an open space. After observing carefully, Xiongba easily found several secret sentries hidden in the dark. He could see that these secret sentries looked very nervous.
"Evil disciple!" Xiong Ba cursed in a low voice. In his opinion, this was a manifestation of Nie Feng's complete instructions. Otherwise, why would these secret sentries be so nervous? They must have guessed that there might be an attack.
But in fact, the reason why these people were nervous was that it was their first time as a secret sentry and they didn't know how to act naturally.
After cursing, Xiongba did not make any move. Although he was confident in his martial arts, he was not so conceited as to think that he could directly fight a hundred people alone without any strategy. The turmoil during the day also made him see the power of the Nanzhao insect system.
Xiongba looked up at the sky. The moon was right above his head. Under the moonlight, the surrounding environment was not too dark. At this time, even ordinary people could see clearly as long as their eyes were accustomed to the darkness and assisted by the moonlight. So he had to wait a little longer.
At this time, inside the courtroom, Saeko Busujima, Anu, and Tang Yu were looking at Xiongba's hiding place from afar through the observation port.
So why is information so important? It is now evident. Xiongba thought he was hiding very well. Indeed, compared to ordinary humans, his hiding was already good. However, under the combined effects of various poisonous insects that have sensory organs that surpass those of humans, it was no different from not hiding at all. His traces were easily discovered here.
"How long do you think he will wait?" Tang Yu looked at Xiong Ba who was standing there without moving, turned his head and asked in a low voice.
"After two o'clock." Busujima Saeko glanced at the moonlight through another observation hole and replied, "At that time, the moonlight will be to the west, and a large area in front of him will not be illuminated by the moonlight. It will be a better time for a surprise attack."
"Yeah." Tang Yu nodded. The difficulty of their operation this time was not to kill, defeat or repel Xiong Ba, but how to make him fall into a trap to reduce casualties. They had already found the target and no action was taken in order to achieve this goal.
Half an hour later, Kidd's voice came from outside into the earphones of Busujima Saeko and Tang Yu.
"Captain Tang, your people's acting skills are not good enough, Xiongba may be a little suspicious." Kidd has been watching Xiongba's every move through ultra-long-range observation. After discovering that Xiongba had some intention of retreating, he quickly contacted him.
In fact, Kidd also guessed that Xiongba might find something wrong because those secret sentries were too unprofessional.
During this half hour, the secret sentries who were temporarily arranged for Xiongba to be discovered would often pretend to accidentally sweep through Xiongba's hiding place. There was nothing wrong with their subconscious actions, but the frequency and overlap were too much.
Kidd's main focus here has always been Xiongba. He has discovered several times that the eyes of the secret sentries at different locations all turned their gazes towards Xiongba at the same time. Xiongba is also a smart man, so it is impossible for him not to be helpful.
"What should we do? Take action now?" Tang Yu asked while raising his hand to signal the people behind him to get ready. As long as Kidd determined that the situation was exposed, he would immediately lead his men to rush forward.
"No, let's try to use our own tactics against them..."
A minute later, Xiongba, who already suspected that he had been discovered, saw a man coming out of the courtroom and very "deliberately" walking towards the lighting pillar in his direction.
After the man got closer to the pillar, the poisonous insect on the pillar suddenly vibrated, and the light changed from a scattered state to a condensed state, shining directly on Xiongba's hiding place. It scanned carefully but found nothing.
Because now Xiongba is stuck to the roof on the other side like a magnet.
After the light faded, he still didn't move. A second or two later, the beam of light suddenly hit him again.
A disdainful smile appeared on Xiongba's face, "Come back and play with the remaining things."
After the second sweep failed to reveal any human figures, the inspector restored the insect to its original state. At the same time, he made a few gestures that Xiongba could not understand towards the "empty space" around him, and then returned to the court.
Xiong Ba, who had avoided detection, endured the discomfort of his body twisted in the shed and continued to suck on the roof.
Kidd in the distance also raised the corner of his mouth. To deal with someone like Xiongba, he had to let him use his intelligence and talents. The more he used them, the more he would believe in his own judgment. Just like now, Xiongba, who might have changed places or even retreated, would probably not leave that more secluded location after cracking the Inquisition's inspection tricks.
Tang Yu in the court breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that to deal with Tang people, you have to let Tang people come. Sometimes the huge difference in thinking is not a good thing.
Just like that, time quickly came to around 1:45 in the morning.
Kidd outside had already taken the curse scroll in his hand, and the main combatants in the Tribunal were fully prepared. After Xiongba took action, Busujima Saeko and Tang Yu were responsible for the head-on battle and control, while Anu brought his men directly behind Xiongba to cut off his retreat.
Suddenly, with a loud bang, something exploded on the other side of the town.
Tang Yu paused. This was clearly a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain. While thinking about whether he should be fooled or not, Tang Yu directed the people in the court to move so as not to let Xiongba notice anything wrong.
After a few seconds of thinking, Tang Yu pointed to a few people whose natal Gu worms were all used to divert the enemy's attention. "Well, let's change the tactics. I'll go and cut off their retreat. Anu, you cooperate with Miss Dudao. The rest of the people will keep their plans unchanged and continue to serve as the reserve team."
After giving a quick instruction, Tang Yu led his men and left directly from the other side. They were in such a hurry that it seemed as if they were really going to the place where the explosion occurred.
Xiong Ba looked at Tang Yu's leaving figure and shrank a little further. The plan was passed! All he had to do next was wait for these people to go a little further away.
"I just wanted to transfer some combat power, but I didn't expect to get rid of the most troublesome guy." Xiongba thought and smiled again.
After rushing out for several hundred meters, Tang Yu braked and stopped, then divided the team into two groups. The group with fewer people continued to move towards the explosion point. After all, there was a possibility that something really happened there.
The others will stay nearby with him, and as soon as Xiongba makes a move, they will immediately cut off his retreat!
Time passed little by little, and at 1:50 in the morning, a cloud floated in from somewhere, blocking the moon, making the already dark town even darker.
Xiongba was overjoyed, thinking that God was helping him. At this moment, he let go of the roof and rushed across half of the buffer zone with a few jumps.
Three points return to the original energy!
A transparent energy ball condensed between Xiongba's palms, and violent power continued to rotate in the energy ball. With this blow, anyone who stood in his way would be killed, even if it was a Buddha!
At the moment the energy ball left his hand, Xiongba seemed to have seen the door being blasted open, and the flesh and blood of those affected would cause a bloody rain in this place.
The smile slowly expanded on his face, and suddenly the half-expanded smile froze.
A slender knife pierced out from the Trial Chamber as if it had been prepared, and directly hit the center of the energy ball.
Boom! After the stability was destroyed, surging energy burst out from the tip of the knife, like a flood encountering an indestructible pillar, rushing to both sides and hitting the main body of the Judgment Hall behind, stirring up brilliant array patterns.
The Ninth Form - Water Flow and Splash, after stabbing a point with the Seventh Form - Rain Ripple, Busujima Saeko suddenly changed her pace, relying on the shortest landing time and landing area to speed up the accuracy and speed of movement, and directly killed in front of Xiongba.
Xiongba, who had already understood the situation and found himself being treated as a clown by others, was furious. If stealth was not possible, he might as well kill them all! That would still be a perfect stealth!
With this idea in mind, Xiongba took the initiative to meet Busujima Saeko and used the Three-Point Divine Finger to break the jade and divide the gold!
The two fingers containing strong vitality directly slashed at the long sword in Busujima Saeko's hand. Xiongba wanted to destroy her weapon first and then take her life directly.
Can Busujima Saeko dodge? The opponent has used her body to fight against the weapon, what else can she do
The moment the long sword collided with the two fingers, the sound of iron was heard. After Saeko Dokujima broke the vitality on Xiongba's fingers with one sword, two gaps appeared on the edge of her own sword.
Type Ten - Continuous Flow!
Although she failed to cut off the opponent's finger with one blow, Busujima Saeko was not discouraged. She had already started to use her sword, and the long dragon transformed from water kept slashing towards Xiongba as she moved. Each blow was heavier and sharper than the last.
Looking at Busujima Saeko who was fully armed, two dragonfly-like poisonous insects flew around Anu and formed a simple formation with her. Then, she used her hands to make hand seals with extraordinary agility.
First, he used the Soul Guixin Technique to replenish the energy that Busujima Saeko was rapidly consuming, and then he used the Demon Descent Technique to hit Xiongba's head, confusing his consciousness.
Facing such an attack, Xiong Ba used his left hand's Tianshuang Fist - Aoxue Lingshuang and his right hand's Paiyun Palm - Sitian Paiyun, emphasizing his dominance and the need to confront them head-on.
With both frost and gale, Busujima Saeko's sword moves are a little unstable, but it's not a big problem. The strength of Water Breathing lies in the continuous and constantly increasing offensive. With this cumulative attack method, as long as Xiongba can't break the move, he will be worn down to death by Busujima Saeko sooner or later. After all, she has an assistant who can restore mana behind her, so she doesn't have to worry about running out of energy in a short time.
Xiong Ba, who was trapped in the power of Busujima Saeko, understood this point. He also knew clearly that it was unlikely to kill Nie Feng today under the siege of so many people. So there was only one option left, a strategic retreat!
Relying on the protective energy outside his body, Xiongba took a blow from Dokujima Saeko. Then he turned around and used the Wind God Kick to wrap the wind between his legs and was ready to escape.
Stealing- Wind! Gu worm- Calmness!
Kidd and Tang Yu arrived at the same time from two directions, one after the other, not far apart, and acted together in tacit understanding.
With the wind wrapped around his legs completely dispersed, Xiong Ba's speed slowed down noticeably. At the same time, the defense around his body also weakened a lot. Before he could catch his breath and start again, the sound of cicadas chirping in Feng Bojing acted on his body. The constantly circulating vitality stopped directly like a horse that suddenly encountered a tripwire.
Puff! Busujima Saeko's long sword stabbed directly into Xiongba's back, and blood spurted out like a fountain.
After severely injuring Xiongba, Busujima Saeko kicked Xiongba and pulled out the knife.
Form 1 - Horizontal Slash!
The long sword turned a semicircle in the air, ready to sweep across Xiongba's neck. The sword light dissipated, and the head fell to the ground.
Xiongba deserved his death, as the four men of the same rank as him used many tricks and powerful moves to kill him, not giving him any chance to turn the tables.
After beheading the beast, Busujima Saeko smelled the smell in the air getting stronger and stronger. Before the main god space gave a prompt, she saw tentacles beginning to grow from the broken part of Xiongba's head not far in front of her.
"Kid! Phase 2!" Busujima Saeko reminded. When the scroll appeared in her hand, she knew that things would not be solved so easily. This Xiongba would definitely become a fallen being like the boss in the game, and then transform and stand up again.
The whirlpool kills each other and freezes the world!
Just as Kidd and Busujima Saeko were about to open the curse scrolls in their hands, the surrounding environment changed drastically in an instant.
Kidd watched as two streams of water appeared in front of him, surging inward and grinding Xiongba's body and head into pieces. Then, a cold light that froze the water vapor in the air swept across, leaving only white in front of his eyes.
The attack that appeared in a flash directly defeated both Busujima Saeko and Xiongba. In front of the whirlpool of undercurrents that were full of changes, Busujima Saeko's sword moves were a little bit unremarkable. In front of the cold light that seemed to freeze even time, Xiongba's Sky Frost Fist looked very ridiculous.
"Dean."
"Greetings, Uncle Yue."
The calls from the people around them brought Kidd and Busujima Saeko back to reality. When they turned their heads, they saw Baiyue in white standing where Xiongba's body had originally been.
A fourth-level boss! And he's an aboriginal. This thought flashed through Kidd and Busujima Saeko's minds at the same time.
Baiyue’s arrival directly made the so-called second stage disappear. Xiongba was reduced to ashes. There was not even a trace of him left. The condensed chaotic energy did not reach a certain concentration and could not allow him to "reborn with a drop of blood". With the cleansing of the Heavenly Dao, everything became calm.
