Chapter 184: Confrontation
“Who told you, those old guys? They sent a Blood Clan to capture me, hehe…”
Mr. Wenders narrowed his eyes and said coldly. He clenched his hand forward, and with a “chi” sound, a red flame spear appeared in his hand, with blue flames leaping from the spear tip. A thumb-sized Magic Crystal was faintly visible on the spear shaft, though it had a few cracks.
“Then you won’t be able to leave either.”
After saying that, he sneered and reversed his grip on the spear. A set of cracked armor appeared all over him, and he transformed into a white figure, charging out like a red lightning bolt. In an instant, he was close to Su Jiu and the other person.
“We don’t know any old guys you’re talking about. Yun Xi only mentioned your wife’s condition, and perhaps she has a way to heal it.”
Seeing Mr. Wenders charging suddenly, Su Jiu quickly shouted. His reaction was swift, and he extended his claws, slashing fiercely at the charging figure, kicking up a blood-colored slash.
“Whoosh!”
Looking at the slash that carried the sound of wind pressure, Mr. Wenders’ expression remained unchanged. He whispered, “At your age, can you understand this kind of poison? I’ve met many people like you before. Flame Aria!”
The spear in his hand swept across, with faint roars of red dragons. In the next moment, a Western red dragon phantom emitting blue flames appeared on the spear, letting out an angry roar, as if chanting inexplicable ancient languages.
The roaring chant shattered Su Jiu’s incoming slash directly. Without any pause, Mr. Wenders swung his spear at his waist, the tip pointing straight at Su Jiu’s face.
“Stupid Xi, quickly explain to him!”
At this moment, Su Jiu had summoned E Huo. The short sword in his hand had a bloody full moon on its blade, and he met the spear tip with blue energy flames. The moment they clashed, Su Jiu felt a tremendous force transmitted from the short sword, as if he had struck a mountain.
His expression instantly turned grim. With a “bang,” he was sent flying back, his body hitting the energy shield created by Mr. Wenders. He placed a hand on the energy shield and lightly jumped down, but his sleeve was actually burning with blue flames.
“Extraordinary-grade flames? This person is indeed not simple.”
After shaking his arm a few times, Su Jiu frowned. Cold air began to surge from his body, his pointed ears once again turned into fins, and his short sword began to be dotted with frost blossoms.
He used the blade to touch his sleeve and made a “chi!” sound. It took a long time to extinguish the flames.
“Ice frost of Extraordinary Level 1? She’s not an Initial Stage Battle General? Although her aura is strong, the condensation of her qi and liquid is indeed that of an Initial Stage Battle General, and she can still act as if nothing happened after taking my spear.”
Looking at Su Jiu, who had only been repelled by him, Mr. Wenders’ face showed a hint of surprise. After a moment, his eyes narrowed, and he said faintly, “It’s a shame for someone with your talent to be a lapdog for those old guys. Since you’re here to execute an order, you’ll become a corpse no matter how talented you are.”
“Meteor!”
After saying that, he raised the spear tip high. Dozens of fireballs, like dragon’s breath, rolled in mid-air, quickly forming and creating a huge heatwave. Then, the spear tip pointed as if to throw them at Su Jiu.
“You damn idiot, is your brain not working? We weren’t sent by any so-called old guys. Can you let me finish talking?”
Yun Xi, who was beside him, turned to look at Su Jiu, frowned, glared at Mr. Wenders, and began to curse loudly.
While cursing, a faint blood energy wrapped around rose petals was forming a sword in her palm. Mr. Wenders’ indiscriminate attack made her extremely unhappy.
However, she had a good grasp of his strength – perhaps due to being injured, he could barely maintain the level of a low-tier Battle King.
But if it really came down to a fight, who knew who would be afraid of whom.
At this moment, Su Jiu stopped Yun Xi, shook his head, and said softly, “Doubi Xi, explain it to him clearly. We don’t need to cause any more trouble.”
Under Su Jiu’s serious gaze, Yun Xi rolled her eyes and still pointed at Su Jiu, explaining, “If you offend her, then your wife can only pin her hopes on that illusory demon priest.”
Su Jiu was somewhat confused by this. He pointed at himself, but Yun Xi ignored him and continued:
“The poison your wife has is called White Mandrake, which is a common control method used by the top force, Alah Temple. If the antidote is not taken regularly, the White Mandrake spores in the body will continue to devour like schistosomiasis, except schistosomiasis devours blood, while these spores devour life.”
Hearing Yun Xi’s words, Mr. Wenders stopped his actions and asked again in a low voice, “Who exactly are you people? Only those within the temple are qualified to know about White Mandrake. Ordinary people are not.”
“That’s not important. What’s important is… the priest who can kill the spores without harming your wife is far away, but right in front of you.” Yun Xi smiled, not elaborating further.
Hearing Yun Xi’s words, Mr. Wenders’ eyes were still full of caution. He pointed at Su Jiu and said with a slight smile, “You say she, a Battle General who can take one of my ‘Arias,’ is a priest? You need to make your lies more believable.”
Yun Xi remained silent, looked at Su Jiu, and gestured with her eyes. Su Jiu understood and displayed a dark jade-colored light in his hand…
“How is this possible?! This battle prowess is even stronger than some Heavenly Talents of the same level, and she’s actually a healing priest? However, as you said, ordinary healing is not enough…”
Upon seeing the dark jade-colored light, Mr. Wenders’ expression froze slightly. His face, which was smiling a moment ago, suddenly became astonished. He put away the spear in his hand, interrupting his sentence.
The next moment, leaves with frost blossoms drifted down from the sky. A leaf landed on his nose, feeling slightly cold. Before he could truly feel the chill, he vaguely felt some minor injuries being healed.
“This is…”
What made him even more astonished was that frost-covered leaves began to surge around him. The leaves fell on the flames and made a “chi–” sound, and then white mist began to rise continuously.
“Spring Bloom Technique with Level 1 Extraordinary Attributes ice element?!”
“Cough cough… If you save my wife, not only will the map belong to you, but I can also grant you one request that does not violate righteousness.”
Seeing this scene, Mr. Wenders withdrew his energy shield, covered his mouth, coughed a few times, and walked back. He looked at his wife, who had already woken up, saw the worried expression on her face, and smiled, saying, “Don’t worry… they’re not from the Temple. Your illness can be cured.”
“Your body also suffered irreversible injuries back then. Don’t use your Avatar for me again.”
He grabbed her hand and looked at the bloodstains on it. The woman showed a heartbroken expression, her eyes dimmed. She then looked at the white spots covering her palm with despair in her eyes.
“Sigh… I’ve burdened you all these years.”
“Those priests with special attributes either fear the Temple and dare not act, or they simply exist among demons. Moreover… even if you could find them, others who don’t have strong enough life force absolutely cannot use that skill. It is truly unforgivable that the two of you have offended me.”
She then looked at Su Jiu and the other person, showing an apologetic expression. She then got up and walked towards the map, picked it up, and handed it to Su Jiu, “You need this, right?”
