Chapter 5571: Killing the Chicken to Scare the Monkey 2
Another quarter of an hour later, Aunt Zhao stared in frustration at the bamboo garden gate, which was seemingly within reach yet impossibly far.
Damn it!
Retreat was no longer an option!
She seemed to be truly trapped within this broken formation.
No, no, she mustn't panic.
Aunt Zhao took a deep breath, abruptly raised her arm, and a black staff suddenly appeared in her hand.
She lifted the staff and swung it at the air in front of her.
"Thump!" A rebounding force made her palms tingle slightly.
Aunt Zhao's face turned pale with horror as she stumbled back a few steps.
"You scoundrels, do you dare to come out and fight?" Aunt Zhao roared in exasperation.
In this situation, only by forcing the formation setter out and killing them with a single blow could she break this damned unknown formation.
Meanwhile, Aunt Mei, who was also in distress, was a hundred times more miserable than Aunt Zhao.
Aunt Mei's cultivation was significantly lower than Aunt Zhao's, and at this point, her sacred power was nearing exhaustion due to continuous exertion.
She gasped for breath, her eyes scanning around in terror, muttering angry curses, "Come out! Come out! You come out here!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Hundreds, even thousands, of vines shot out from the invisible air, piercing and striking directly at her.
Giant, bowl-thick vines made Aunt Mei scramble like a clown, leaping up and down, dodging left and right, her face filled with hatred and anger, her lips slightly pale.
"Stoic-face, I know it's you! I didn't expect you, woman, to be so cunning! To set up a formation in the garden and trap us!"
"You damned wretch! If you dare to kill me here today, my master will absolutely not let you off!" Aunt Mei yelled, both startled and panicked.
"My master is the Silver Emissary of the Saint Domain! Do you dare to kill me? Do you know what consequences you'll face for killing me?"
"Boom!" The response was a massive, thick vine that slammed fiercely into her chest.
Aunt Mei was already at the end of her rope. With this final blow, her sternum almost caved in, and she spat out a large mouthful of blood.
Her entire body was flung backward, crashing heavily onto the ground where roots and vines intertwined.
This impact caused her excruciating pain.
Her whole body was riddled with punctures from the iron thorns on the vines, and she was even suspended on two of the vines, unable to pull herself free for a moment.
"Ah! Ahh, ah!" Aunt Mei was both startled and terrified, her bloodshot eyes darting around as she shrieked, "You dare! You junior, you dare!! If you dare to kill me, my old master won't let you off!"
"If you've got the guts, come out! You come out, you coward! You don't dare to face me, do you? Ah!!" A vine as thick as an arm lashed across her cheek.
The sharp pain in her cheekbone jolted her awake. She immediately screamed, wetting herself, "Let me go, let me go, Madam Mo! Madam Mo, I beg you, let me go! I will never again come to your bamboo house to cause trouble, never again!"
"You are a person of great generosity, please forgive my momentary misguided thoughts."
"I beg you, spare me! I, Aunt Mei, will surely repay your kindness in my next life, even if I have to tie grass into rings."
A cold, clear figure suddenly materialized in mid-air.
Aunt Mei looked up at her, her entire body stiffening slightly, unable to control the malice in her eyes for a moment.
It was this stoic-face!
That damned woman, how dare she set up a formation to harm people.
She'll make sure to kill her once she gets out!
She'll definitely make this stoic-faced woman suffer a terrible death.
