Chapter 149: Heavy Strike
"Damn woman!"
Shendu let out a tyrannical roar. Although he had lost the abilities of the Rabbit and Sheep Talismans, the impact on his overall strength wasn't significant.
Facing Konpira, which Gion was slashing straight at him, Shendu didn't rely purely on brute force as before.
With a flip of his wrist, the dragon claw covered in fine scales shot out at an extremely tricky angle, precisely clamping onto the spine of Konpira's blade.
Clang!
Sparks flew.
Gion felt an immense force transmitted through the sword—the ultimate strength granted by the Ox Talisman.
"Do you think I am that idiot Dai Gui who only knows how to play with mud?"
Cold killing intent emanated from Shendu's scarlet slit pupils. His other dragon claw, wrapped in explosive flames, bombarded Gion's abdomen with the speed of thunder.
This strike was fast, accurate, and ruthless—completely at the level of a Taijutsu grandmaster.
Gion's pupils constricted slightly. Armament Haki instantly hardened over her abdomen, and she simultaneously used the recoil force from the blade to retreat violently.
Boom!
Flames exploded at Gion's original position, the shockwave flipping the surrounding rubble into the air.
Gion adjusted her form in mid-air, landing and sliding several meters back, her expression grave.
This dragon before her was completely different from the big lug who only knew how to take a beating earlier.
Why the hell didn't you use these moves against Jackie Chan just now?
With a flick of Gion's wrist, Konpira let out a crisp hum. The green light of Good Chi intertwined with the black Haki.
"Then come again!"
She exerted force under her feet, her entire body transforming into a streak of pink light as she charged forward once more.
Shendu grinned savagely, preparing to teach this human who didn't know the height of the heavens and the depth of the earth a lesson.
Just then.
"Bad day, bad day, bad day!"
An extremely untimely voice suddenly exploded in his ear.
Shendu shuddered violently, a nauseating feeling like he had swallowed a fly instantly surging in his heart.
How did he dodge that blue-clothed monkey just now?
That position was clearly a blind spot!
Jackie Chan was using both hands and feet to hang onto Shendu's back like a gecko, the two blobs of green magic potion in his hands emitting a pungent garlic smell.
"Get off!"
Ignoring Gion, Shendu backhanded a claw toward his own back.
This claw strike was flawless in both speed and power.
But Jackie's foot slipped, and his whole body slid down Shendu's spine quite "coincidentally," perfectly avoiding this strike capable of splitting mountains and cracking rocks.
Scritch!
Shendu's claw raked three sparks across his own back.
"Whoa! That was close!"
Jackie patted his chest, still shaken, then spotted a protrusion on Shendu's spine.
Pop.
A Talisman carved with a rooster pattern was forcibly pulled out.
Shendu, who was preparing to soar into the air to dodge Gion's slash, suddenly felt his body sink.
His massive body, originally as light as a swallow, instantly turned into tons of solid meat.
Losing the ability of levitation, gravity recaptured this evil dragon.
"Bastard!!"
Shendu roared in exasperation.
When dealing with Gion, he countered every move, combining offense and defense, displaying the demeanor of a king.
But the moment he touched this archaeologist, he felt like an idiot who had just learned to walk.
No matter how he fought, this monkey could always dodge in various inconceivable postures and conveniently swipe something off him in the process.
Gion wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.
Taking advantage of the moment Shendu lost his balance, the longsword in her hand whipped up a violent storm of sword energy.
Pfft pfft pfft!
Shendu, having lost the protection of some of the Talismans' power, instantly gained over a dozen bloody streaks on his body.
Although the Horse and Dog Talismans were still functioning, healing the wounds rapidly, the excruciating pain of being cut was very real.
"Dai Gui! Are you still watching the show?!"
Shendu rolled wretchedly on the ground to avoid Gion's pursuit, roaring at the distance.
However.
At this moment, Dai Gui was quietly backing away.
In those copper-bell-like bovine eyes, a light called "cowardice" flickered.
Although his brain wasn't very good, that didn't mean he was an idiot.
That woman with the sword was too ferocious, and the Good Chi on her countered demons.
And that blue-clothed monkey crawling all over Shendu was even weirder; every touch was a hit, and the power in Shendu's body was visibly weakening.
"Forget fighting!"
Dai Gui swallowed.
He had just come out of the Netherworld and hadn't had time to enjoy this colorful world yet; he didn't want to be sent back so quickly.
And certainly not sent back in slices.
"Shendu... uh... I'm going to get reinforcements!"
Dai Gui shouted in a muffled voice.
After speaking, he completely ignored Shendu's eyes, which were practically spitting fire, and slammed his hands into the ground.
"Earth Escape Technique!"
Rumble!
The ground shook violently, and Dai Gui's massive body began to sink rapidly, as if melting into the soil.
As long as he drilled underground, it was his home turf.
When the time came, he would hide deep in the Earth's core, and no one would be able to find him!
Once he recovered his full strength, he would come back and crush these bugs one by one!
"Trying to run?"
Uncle, who was mixing potions, suddenly looked up, a sharp glint flashing across his reading glasses.
"Jackie! That big lug is running away!"
"I can't leave here, Uncle!"
Jackie was riding on Shendu's neck, clutching the dragon horns for dear life, being flung around like a rag doll.
"Shave (Soru)!"
Gion's figure instantly vanished from her spot.
The next second, she appeared above the position where Dai Gui was submerging.
At this point, more than half of Dai Gui's body was already underground; only his massive head and shoulders remained exposed.
Seeing Gion suddenly appear, Dai Gui was so scared his eyes nearly popped out.
"Don't come over here!!"
Dai Gui let out a scream of terror, his diving speed instantly doubling.
"Get out here!"
Gion held her sword with both hands, raising it high above her head.
Armament Haki poured into the blade without reservation, instantly transforming Konpira into a pitch-black giant blade.
BOOM!
This slash didn't cut directly at Dai Gui but chopped heavily into the ground beside him.
The earth cracked instantly.
A terrifying shockwave transmitted through the strata, forcefully shattering all the surrounding soil.
The originally compact ground turned into a loose structure like quicksand.
Dai Gui felt his body go light; all the rock he was using for leverage was pulverized, and he was jolted upward like a pulled radish.
"Ouch!"
Dai Gui screamed, feeling like his brains were being scrambled.
"It is not over yet!"
Gion was in mid-air, her right leg whipping out like a lash.
Thump!
A muffled sound.
A large bump instantly swelled up on Dai Gui's iron-hard head; his eyes rolled back, and he nearly fainted.
His massive body was kicked flying backward by this kick, rolling on the ground like a gourd for dozens of turns before finally stopping against a giant boulder.
"That hurt me so bad..."
Dai Gui clutched his head, tears almost falling.
Is this woman a monster?
Just then.
From the sky came the sound of an engine roaring like broken bellows.
A fighter jet trailing black smoke wobbled as it rushed up from down the mountain, half a tree branch still hanging from its wing.
"Captain Black!"
Jade waved excitedly.
The fighter jet screeched to a halt over the ruins, and the hatch opened.
Captain Black, looking disheveled and covered in dust, leaned half his body out, holding a large bouquet of colorful flowers in his arms.
The scene was as comical as could be.
"Uncle! The flowers you wanted!"
