Even hybrid monsters have their day

"You...you're courting death!" Qianmian Shang coldly uttered these words, and his body rapidly changed. The black mist grew thicker and thicker, like an open umbrella, and three tentacles-like things emerged, slowly solidifying into a physical form.

A face grew out of each tentacle. The faces on the tentacles were noticeably smaller than Rong Man'an's face on the black smoke, but each one was lifelike and beautiful.

Finally, those tentacles completely detached from the main body and formed separate individuals.

The face of Rong Man'an on the black smoke sneered and said, "Today you will pay the price for this!" After saying that, its three parts attacked Geng Miaowan, Xu Ruwen and Xiaobai respectively.

"Be careful!" Luan Hao warned.

Although these three were separated from the main body, they were just as troublesome as the main body itself, impossible to break apart or kill. The only way to eliminate them was to destroy the face on top of them. Knowing how difficult the situation was, Geng Miaowan, Xu Ruwen, and Xiaobai all prepared to fight in their best form.

Seeing that they were all entangled by its clones, Thousand Faces of Sorrow revealed a beautiful smile, but it looked cold and devoid of any emotion. It said arrogantly, "I'll watch you die right here today!"

"Then you can just watch how we kill you..." Xu Ruwen said, slightly out of breath.

Just as everyone was focused on dealing with the clones, Qianmian Shang looked around with his empty eyes, then turned and darted out the window.

Peng Yuxian, who had been watching their movements closely, immediately noticed something was wrong and shouted, "Oh no, it's trying to escape!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his body reacted before his brain could process it, and he lunged forward. By the time he realized what was happening, he was already blocking Thousand Faces' path.

"Peng Yuxian, it's you again?" It had seen him the moment he came in. But seeing that he didn't seem to have any intention of making a move, it didn't want to provoke him either.

"You know me?" Peng Yuxian was quite surprised, but he didn't let his guard down, as if it might pounce at any moment. "Can't I fight you?" Why did her tone make it seem like there was something between them?

Peng Yuxian's words were exactly what they sounded like, but Qianmian Shang interpreted them completely differently, feeling that he was deliberately provoking it. Its expression changed, and it roared, "Peng Yuxian, just because I didn't fight you last time doesn't mean I'm afraid of you. Since you insist on courting death, then I'll grant your wish!"

Having said that, it swayed its body, if that cloud of black smoke could be called a body.

A plume of black smoke shot out from within, hurtling towards Peng Yuxian at incredible speed. As it approached, the smoke materialized, startling Peng Yuxian who hastily dodged to the side.

But the black smoke seemed to sense his movement and changed direction accordingly.

Feng Xiaotian watched as Peng Yuxian jumped to the side, then was hit in mid-air by something and crashed heavily to the ground. Geng Miaowan, who was closest to him, cried out anxiously, "Peng Yuxian!"

However, Peng Yuxian didn't move at all.

Qianmian Shang was surprised that Peng Yuxian had become so weak that he couldn't even withstand a single move from it, which was a bit strange, but it was also in line with its own thoughts.

Without thinking twice, it flew towards the door.

It turns out that its arrogant tone was just a ploy to lower their guard so it could seize the opportunity to escape.

"Old man, stop it!" Geng Miaowan shouted at Feng Xiaotian.

Not only her, but Xu Ruwen and Xiaobai also saw Qianmianshang's movements and were all shocked. If it got away today, who knows where they would find it later?

Xu Ruwen struck the face of Qianmian Shang's clone with a spell. Before he could even see the clone vanish into thin air with his spell, he rushed to the door, trying to stop Qianmian Shang from escaping.

Immediately after, Xiaobai also destroyed the clone opposite her and rushed towards the door. Inside the room, only Geng Miaowan remained, still fighting fiercely with the clone in front of her, and she seemed to have the upper hand.

It has to be said that some things from the underworld are quite good. Although she doesn't have any magic right now, she should be able to take down that clone in a few more rounds.

Beside the door sat Feng Xiaotian, looking completely bewildered. He watched helplessly as these menacing figures rushed towards him, knowing something must have happened. However, he couldn't see anything and didn't know how to react.

Xu Ruwen was already very fast, but he was still no match for the premeditated Thousand Faces of Sorrow. It arrived at the door before he could get there and easily bypassed Feng Xiaotian.

Once it stepped out of that door, it was free, and it couldn't help but relax.

At this moment, Geng Miaowan had also finished dealing with the clone opposite her. Seeing that Qianmian Shang was about to leave, she hurriedly reached into her robes and, without caring what she pulled out, threw it at Qianmian Shang, shouting, "Qianmian Shang, where do you think you're going to run!"

Geng Miaowan feels that she is very much like Sun Wukong from Journey to the West. If you replace the three words "Thousand-Faced Sorrow" with "demon", then the resemblance is uncanny.

Geng Miaowan's shout was so loud and earth-shattering, it had the momentum of a single man holding the pass against ten thousand men.

Hearing her powerful words and seeing a flash of light, everyone assumed she had some hidden trump card up her sleeve, which she was now finally unleashing. They felt that Thousand Faces was doomed this time.

Even Qianmian Shang himself thought, "That's it. Does this seemingly weak girl have some hidden tricks up her sleeve?" With that thought, it sped up even more, rushing towards the door without even looking back.

Just as Qianmian Shang was only 0.01 meters away from the door, the talisman thrown by Geng Miaowan struck it squarely in front of everyone's eyes.

A dazzling light rose from the talisman, tracing a bright line upwards before exploding with a "bang" above Thousand Faces' head. Sparks flew everywhere, resembling a firework that flashed briefly in the air before disappearing.

If you have to say what makes it different from fireworks, it's that the fireworks it explodes with are different from ordinary fireworks. They are net-like spheres centered on the face of Qianmianshang.

The four people, the dog, and the demon in the room stared in disbelief at the spherical firework disappearing into the sky, their minds racing with all sorts of thoughts.

Of all the creatures, Thousand Faces was the most smug. It laughed twice, then floated outside the door, turned to Geng Miaowan, and said, "I thought you were something special, but it turns out you're nothing special. Haha..."

When the talisman disappeared, it checked itself and found that its body was completely normal. It really didn't know what use such a talisman had been for it.

Xu Ruwen and Peng Yuxian shared the same confusion, not to mention Feng Xiaotian, who had no idea what had happened from beginning to end.

Suddenly, a deep male voice rang out from outside the door, "What are you doing here?" (To be continued.)
