The White Bone Ghost Lotus quietly bloomed beside the massive heads of the Two-Headed Lizard King Beast. With each breath it took, a wave of heat surged forth, creating winds strong enough to stir the river waters, causing the Bone Lotus, which grew in the crevices of white bones, to tremble. A naturally soothing fragrance began to spread, refreshing and invigorating.
With a light touch of his toes, he floated like willow fluff in the wind, silently landing behind the left side of the Two-Headed Lizard King Beast. In this position, the mound of bones rose three to four meters high, with some large gaps that could easily conceal three or four people. Even if the Two-Headed Lizard King Beast awakened, it would not immediately notice him.
His crimson eyes sparkled with intensity as he fully unleashed the Water God Concealment technique, ensuring that his presence remained undetected. Especially his overwhelming aura of malice was completely reined in, making him blend seamlessly into the air. If it weren't for the visible outline of his figure, one might think he had completely vanished from this world.
To pluck the White Bone Ghost Lotus, he would need to get close to the terrifying heads of the Two-Headed Lizard King Beast. Such a perilous act could lead to death with a single misstep; thus, he entrusted this task to his Avatar. After all, with his physical strength, even if the Two-Headed Lizard King Beast suddenly awoke and attacked, he could withstand a hit or two without much concern.
Taking out the Frostbox and Wooden Scissors, he moved swiftly towards the White Bone Ghost Lotus. Just then, it was also the moment when the Two-Headed Lizard King Beast inhaled deeply. Both massive heads drew in air simultaneously through their large nostrils, resembling deep storm corridors. Accompanied by a gust of wind, an immense suction force suddenly descended.
With a whoosh, several chunks of white bone were violently pulled into the center of the bone pile. The branches and leaves of the White Bone Ghost Lotus quivered as its white stem bent into a bow shape; its petals contracted like an unopened bud, yet none fell off due to the suction.
His hair flew wildly in the wind; despite the strength of the suction, it could not shake his form. Without hesitation, he crouched down and opened the scissors to cut at the stem of the White Bone Ghost Lotus near its crevice.
Snap!
To his surprise, instead of breaking cleanly, a series of fine cracks appeared on the stem where he had cut it, resembling a human leg bone suddenly fracturing.
"Hmm?" Bu Mei's head furrowed slightly as he hid among the bones. He had prepared for a quick response but did not expect that taking this step with the White Bone Ghost Lotus would encounter issues before the Two-Headed Lizard King Beast even awoke.
It was known that with Red Lotus's formidable physical strength, such cutting force should exceed ten thousand pounds. Yet despite this, a slender white stem remained unbroken. Even if the scissors were made from special wood and not very sharp, applying sheer force should have been enough to snap even a steel rod in half.
Just then, a strong wind surged again as a flurry of small white bones flew out from the center of the bone pile; it was exhalation following an inhalation from the Two-Headed Lizard King Beast. This cycle of breathing created two completely different forces—suction and repulsion—that caused ripples in the river.
Crack! Red Lotus gripped the scissors tightly with both hands and summoned all his strength as his veins bulged. This time, no matter how resilient the stem of the White Bone Ghost Lotus was, it could not withstand him. The cracks on its white stem suddenly widened; after a crisp sound, it broke into two pieces. Reacting swiftly, Red Lotus opened the Frostbox just as the White Bone Ghost Lotus was lifted by a gust of wind.
At that moment, for reasons unknown, the snoring of the Two-Headed Lizard King Beast abruptly ceased. In an instant silence following the stormy winds, two golden eyes—three or four times larger than lanterns—suddenly opened wide. The scene before them revealed Red Lotus capturing the White Bone Ghost Lotus into his Frostbox.
Roar!
A roar erupted that shook the entire cave. The sound formed tangible sound waves that reverberated within; some delicate stalactites shattered and fell to the ground. The underground river surged as if bombarded by countless deep-sea explosives; splashes erupted everywhere as the ground trembled lightly. The golden eyes of the Two-Headed Lizard King Beast turned crimson in an instant; its treasured possession had been stolen after guarding it for countless years—this was already touching its reverse scale.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the Two-Headed Lizard King Beast awakened. Eve, who had been nervously observing from the entrance of the cave, was taken aback as she watched the beast's massive tail, measuring seven or eight zhang in length, swing violently toward Hong Lian. The force was so great that it created a series of explosive sounds in the air, prompting Eve to let out a startled cry.
"Heart!"
Without Eve's reminder, under the sudden immense pressure and amidst the thunderous sound of rushing water, her voice could not reach Hong Lian's ears.
Whoosh! A dark shadow swept in, carrying tremendous power. Hong Lian remained remarkably calm; just as the attack was about to land, he suddenly darted out and gently tossed the Frostbox containing the White Bone Ghost Lotus into the air.
Boom! The bones shattered into dust, and cracks appeared along the edges of the massive rock. The force of the tail strike from the Two-Headed Lizard King Beast was terrifying; such a powerful attack would surely inflict serious damage even on a body made of steel.
The Frostbox traced a parabolic arc in the air before landing safely in a palm and disappearing. The Two-Headed Lizard King Beast quickly sensed that the aura of the White Bone Ghost Lotus had vanished, instantly becoming enraged. It roared and turned its massive body, both heads opening their gaping maws to bite at Hong Lian, who had yet to touch down.
Hidden within the cracks of bones, Bu Yi chuckled softly but did not rush out. He had already stored the White Bone Ghost Lotus in his Storage Bracelet, making it impossible for even a deity to retrieve it from him now. At this moment, due to angle issues, the Two-Headed Lizard King Beast had not yet noticed him. As long as Hong Lian could draw it further away, he could slip away unnoticed.
The roars continued as the beast howled in frustration. No matter how fiercely it attacked, Hong Lian moved like an eel, evading its strikes effortlessly. With exceptional Agility and skillful use of Step Nine, he denied the Two-Headed Lizard King Beast any chance for a direct confrontation, buzzing around like a fly and determined to keep evading.
After several failed attempts to land a hit, the Two-Headed Lizard King Beast was on the brink of madness. Its terrifying energy field suddenly activated, causing the surrounding air to become stagnant.
Hong Lian's body abruptly froze. At that moment, two massive clouds of poisonous mist erupted from the beast's open mouths. Simultaneously, two powerful claws lunged toward Hong Lian's body from both front and back. The explosive sound of air being sliced through made it clear that if those claws connected, the outcome would be disastrous.
"Ah!"
At the entrance of the cave, Eve had not yet left. Seeing this scene unfold made her pale with fear; instinctively she wanted to step into the cave but recalled Bu Yi's earlier instructions. Her face reflected anxiety and worry as she ultimately refrained from recklessly entering the battlefield.
In her eyes, two vividly colored and scorching clouds of poison drew closer. A nauseating stench assaulted her senses. Hong Lian's expression shifted slightly; his movements were restricted now. If he tried to dodge the two clouds of poison, he would surely be caught by the claws that followed closely behind. But if he chose not to evade, facing them head-on would come at an even greater cost.
In this critical moment where hesitation was not an option, energy surged within him like flames erupting outward. He temporarily broke free from the energy field's constraints as his body plummeted downward just in time to avoid both clouds of poison. However, there was no way to evade those claw-like limbs that resembled giant trees.
His eyes grew cold as he roared fiercely. Hong Lian unleashed a powerful punch with all his energy concentrated into it; this punch transformed into a hurricane-like force that struck toward one claw aiming for him.
Boom!
A loud roar echoed, and with just a touch, Hong Lian's body shot out like a cannonball. His hand bones made a cracking sound, and as his muscles flexed, the force was dissipated without breaking. However, some blood vessels burst, leading to inevitable swelling in his arm.
One claw struck the enemy, but the expected scene of blood and flesh splattering did not occur. Instead, another claw missed completely. The Two-Headed Lizard King Beast let out an angry roar, unable to believe that the enemy could be so cunning, using its own claw's force to evade the deadly strike.
Roar!
In its furious roar, the Two-Headed Lizard King Beast spread its powerful wings wide, creating a whirlwind. Its strong hind claws stomped heavily on the ground, causing the giant rocks to tremble. Its massive body suddenly lifted off the ground, chasing after Hong Lian, who had retreated using the force of its attack. The determination in its stance indicated that it would not rest until it achieved victory.
"Phew! That was close!"
Bu An, who had been hiding in the gaps of the bone pile, let out a sigh of relief. At that moment, his focus was sharper than ever; his consciousness and that of his Avatar almost merged together, allowing the Avatar to escape at a great cost.
Now he truly understood the power of Quasi-Advanced. When its energy field emerged, ordinary Intermediate-level warriors could only become fish on a chopping board. Even someone like Hong Lian, whose combat power was nearly at the peak of Intermediate Level 5 as an External Avatar, almost suffered serious injuries when the Two-Headed Lizard King Beast unleashed its true power. This was thanks to Hong Lian's robust physique; otherwise, even nine lives wouldn't be enough.
"Now's my chance to escape while the Two-Headed Lizard King Beast is distracted. Hong Lian can't buy me much time."
Seeing that the Two-Headed Lizard King Beast wasn't paying attention to him for now, Bu An quickly darted out from the gaps in the bone pile. He activated Step Nine at full speed and sprinted toward the entrance of the cave.
