Chapter 2374: Bloodmelt Demon Needles

It was perfectly reasonable for them to be scared. After all, the Monster Lord's head had already been cut off, and they'd seen Zu An blast that head into dust. So why was the Monster Lord still able to speak?

Salamay, Mojard, and the others felt their entire bodies turn cold. They had fought against the Monster Lord for many years, so how could they not recognize his voice?

Just then, flesh began to squirm around the Monster Lord’s neck. Shortly after, a new head reappeared.

Even with all of Zu An’s experience, he still couldn't help but take a step back when he saw that strange scene, let alone everyone else in the temple. They were so scared that their faces turned completely pale.

“You can still regenerate after having your head removed?” Zu An exclaimed in surprise, really really confused. The head was the leader of the six yang. Something so important had been turned to dust, so how did the Monster Lord return to life.

The Monster Lord said with a cold sneer, “Of course. I have an indestructible body, so how could you possibly kill me?”

Both Pei Mianman’s group and Salamay’s group felt a sense of despair.

The Monster Lord was already absurdly strong to begin with, and he even had all sorts of unreasonable divine skills. But he somehow had an indestructible body on top of all that? How was someone even supposed to fight against that?

Salamay’s group began to laugh in self-mockery. It turned out they'd been up against this kind of freak this entire time. No wonder the Monster Lord had never regarded them with much importance. To him, all of their plans would have been on just too small of a scale to bother with!

In the sky above, Zu An also felt a sense of powerlessness in that instant, but he quickly reacted and said, “If your distinguished self really had an indestructible body, why couldn't you win against the Annihilation Beast, to the point of letting the entire Monster World fall into its current state?”

The Monster Lord erupted into fury due to his humiliation. “Who do you think you are? Even someone like you thinks you can talk about the Annihilation Beast’s power?”

You have successfully trolled the Monster Lord for +444 +444 +444...

When he saw the Monster Lord's anger, Zu An’s grin grew even bigger. “Lies don’t hurt, but truths are quick blades. Even though I can’t defeat the Annihilation Beast myself, I can still win against you here. Since killing you once isn’t enough, I’ll just kill you again. Let’s see how many times you can revive!”

After his years of fighting through all sorts of life and death situations, he believed this revival skill was definitely not limitless. It either meant that the number of times the Monster Lord could revive was limited, or that he had to pay a huge price for every revival. Whichever one it was, Zu An just needed to try a few more times.

The Monster Lord was so angry that he laughed. “Hah! If it weren’t for you shamelessly using that Soulspeak skill, how could I have been caught off guard? Do you really think you'll have another chance?”

He felt rage boil within him whenever he thought about how this ant-like being had actually beheaded him.

If not for the fact that my strength was limited by this world, if not because I let you go to reel in even more fish, why would I have ended up in such a difficult situation?!

You have successfully trolled the Monster Lord for +888 +888 +888...

As he looked at the exasperated and flustered Monster Lord, Zu An had a strange expression. “It’s a battle of life and death, so of course it's natural to use any methods we have at our disposal. And yet your highness is actually childishly criticizing your enemy for being shameless? Your level of naivety really is a bit laughable.”

The Monster Lord was speechless.

You have successfully trolled the Monster Lord for +999 +999 +999...

He was now completely enraged. He coldly said, “You have quite the mouth on you. But soon, you won’t be able to act so cocky.”

As he spoke, he carefully took out a small wooden case and opened the lid. The inside was lined with red silk, upon which ten needles quietly rested.

“Bloodmelt Demon Needles!” Mojard couldn't help but shout when he saw them.

“What are Bloodmelt Demon Needles?” Salamay asked; it was fortunate for Pei Mianman and the other women, because they were all really confused too.

Mojard had a grave expression as he said, “That’s the Monster Lord’s trump card. They look like just ten needles on the surface, but one becomes two and two becomes four, and four gives birth to all things. Those demonic needles are innumerable in number, and they are extremely powerful. Even if they only scrape the skin a bit, the enemy will then melt into a pool of blood. They’re extremely ruthless.”

He couldn't help but sigh as he continued, “These Bloodmelt Demon Needles have taken the lives of countless powerful beings. It is just that, as his cultivation grew greater, he stopped needing to resort to this weapon. Who would’ve thought that he would actually bring them out against this world’s regent! It seems the Monster Lord has really been angered by the fact that his head was severed.”

The women were all shocked when they heard those words. Against a magic weapon this treacherous, wasn't Ah Zu in danger? After all, there was no way one could survive completely unscathed in a battle between similar-level experts. Meanwhile, these Bloodmelt Demon Needles would turn the enemy into a puddle of blood even if they just scraped a bit of skin. Just the thought of that alone made them shiver.

However, Ji Xiaoxi comforted them by saying, “Big sisters, big brother Zu’s body is special and seems to be immune to all poisons that I know of. Even though I recently learned about seven stronger poisons in the outside world, big brother Zu’s body can still resist a large portion of the damage. So there’s no need to worry too much.”

When they heard what she said, the others sighed in relief. However, Jiang Luofu was still extremely worried, saying, “His body might be able to stop one or two needles, but if he's stabbed too much, he might still be in danger...”

The women immediately becextremely nervous again.

Pei Mianman couldn't help but give her a second glance.

Principal Jiang seems to care a lot about Ah Zu...

But her attention was quickly drawn to her lover once again. She didn’t have tto think about that in detail at all.

In the sky above, the wooden case floated in front of the Monster Lord. With a gentle flick, ten demon needles flew out. They reappeared next to Zu An almost as soon as they left the box. They were extremely fast, as if they didn’t even need to fly through space.

Zu An was shocked. Fortunately, he was already prepared and held his sword in front of him to protect himself.

Clang!

If ordinary needles made contact with the Tai’e Sword, they would’ve immediately been turned to ash. However, these Bloodmelt Demon Needles only produced ssparks, then turned into over a thousand smaller needles that flew back at Zu An again from all sorts of different directions.

The Monster Lord finally revealed a grin. How could his Bloodmelt Demon Needles be stopped that easily? They were too fast, and the distance was too short. These had always been his most reliable weapons.

Sure enough, the burst of needles struck Zu An’s body.

When she saw the, Pei Mianman felt the blood in her body turn ice-cold. She almost fainted on the spot.

Ji Xiaoxi burst out into tears. Even though she'd said that big brother Zu’s body was special, if that many needles pierced his body, things didn’t look good at all.

“Don’t panic. Keep watching,” Jing Teng said, remaining the calmest out of all of them.

These women's crying really is annoying.

The Monster Lord didn’t smile anymore either. Instead, he stared at Zu An’s surroundings.

Faint yellow runes appeared one after another. A translucent yellow bell wrapped completely around Zu An. Rather than landing on his body, the needles had all struck the bell projection.

This was the Tranquility Bell created by the Rune Weapon Chart!

“Hmph, you think srandom magic weapon can stop my demon needles?!” The Monster Lord’s fingers moved through the air. Another demon needle flew over from another direction. The Tranquility Bell instantly shattered upon contact with it.

But Zu An had already disappeared from his original location, causing the demon needles to all miss.

The Monster Lord wasn’t surprised to see that. He already knew about Zu An's instant teleportation skill. That was why there were still eight needles waiting off to the side.

When Zu An reappeared, the closest demon needles instantly flew forth, but Zu An used his Grandgale skill to dodge again.

The Monster Lord had a mocking grin as he said, “My demon needles have already locked onto your soul. Will you really be able to avoid them?”

Sure enough, even though Zu An’s movements were like lightning and he always managed to avoid the Bloodmelt Demon Needles by moving at ingenious angles, he just couldn't break out of thecreated by the ten needles. As they closed in on him more and more, the amount of space he could use to dodge becmore and more limited. In the end, the only fate awaiting him was to melt into a puddle of blood.
