Chapter 449

He didn't have the mood for that either.

He only wanted to shake off Gu Qing as quickly as possible and rescue Zhao Ji.

Gu Qing gave a light smile.

Her waist twisted lightly.

Her lower abdomen tightened.

The faint outline of her abdominal muscles showed.

From that small navel, a pale yellow thread as thick as a finger immediately shot out.

The thread was coarse and heavy, plunging head-on into the center of the flames.

Only the sizzling sound of tsst-tsst could be heard.

Along with a wisp of white scorched smoke.

Li Yan cursed, "What kind of weird trick is this now? Don't you know flames counter spider silk? Die for me!"

Whoosh!

Sticky, sticky, sticky.

"Wha…t?"

The flame in Li Yan's hand suddenly cut out.

A strand of silk had already shot to his palm and stuck firmly.

The outside of that strand was scorched, forming a thin, brittle black charred shell, but the inner core still had pale yellow sticky threads as thick as chopsticks.

In just one second, Li Yan's hands were already covered in it.

Then came his arms.

"Why didn't the flames burn it all away? Damn you!"

Li Yan thrashed wildly, but those chopstick-thick threads were extraordinarily tough and simply couldn't be torn apart.

The more he pulled, the more tangled and sticky it became.

Li Yan felt a hint of panic.

He immediately used spiritual technique to dispel the abnormal state.

But Gu Qing's silk was a physical attack.

How could spiritual technique undo it?

Li Yan was still thinking of a counter, but the female soldiers nearby had already finished off the blood-race warriors and all closed in.

"Sister Gu, shall we cut him down?"

"He's a hero—should we capture him?"

"Does my lord want a prisoner?"

"What do we do, Sister Gu?"

Gu Qing wasn't sure either.

She looked up at Zhao Chi.

She saw Zhao Chi controlling Qi Yue, hacking furiously at Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji was on the ground.

His legs kicked wildly, struggling nonstop.

And he kept threatening, kept begging for mercy.

"Fuck! Damned commoner, I'm a noble! You dare hurt me and I'll slaughter your whole family!"

"Stop fucking cutting, my armor's durability is gone, your mother's stop right now!"

Qi Yue hesitated for a moment.

On this matter, she too needed to confirm Zhao Chi's intent.

Qi Yue 【My lord, continue? Or take him prisoner?】

Zhao Chi 【Kill him quick! Who knows what other tricks he has left, he's useless to me, taking him prisoner is even more dangerous】

Qi Yue 【Understood!】

With Zhao Chi's order, Qi Yue no longer held back.

Face cold, she hacked down stroke after stroke.

"Ahhh…you've hurt me, I'm wounded, stop!"

"I'm gonna slaughter your whole family, ahhh!"

"No! Stop! I beg you! Stop cutting!"

"Quick…heal me…"

Qi Yue turned a deaf ear.

The iron blade in her hand hacked until its edge curled.

But still she hacked, hacked, hacked!

Fresh blood splattered across her face.

Only when Zhao Ji was dead beyond dead did the blade in her hand finally stop.

"…" Gu Qing saw this scene not far away.

She told those female soldiers, "No need, cut him down!"

Li Yan panicked, "No, no, no, you can take me prisoner, I'm absolutely safe, I'm a hero, I can't communicate with the outside…"

Gu Qing smiled, "Cut him down quick!"

Li Yan's heart lurched.

But the dozen-plus iron sabers and iron spears charging toward him left him speechless.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Li Yan is dead.

In the central battlefield, the fighting has ended.

Zhao Chi let out a breath of relief.

Gu Qing swallowed a medicinal pill and healed everyone once more.

Zhao Chi ordered: "We can't rest yet. There are still over a hundred enemy stragglers. Everyone search immediately—while their morale is shattered, kill them fast!"

"Yes!"

Gu Qing hurriedly asked: "my lord, that female elven hero called Zuo Yuan is still alive but can't move. Does it matter?"

Zhao Chi shook his head: "It doesn't matter. Just deal with the stragglers first."

"Understood." Gu Qing nodded.

Soon, torches were lit one after another.

The entire territory blazed with light.

The harpies in the air flew and screeched about wildly, constantly reporting the positions of the fleeing vampire troops.

The naga warriors on the ground had already intercepted and killed over forty of them; less than a hundred enemies remained.

Following the harpies' guidance, Zhao Chi and the others swiftly hunted down and destroyed the enemies scattered across the area.

The vampires' stamina was severely drained; they couldn't run far at all.

In just over ten minutes, every enemy within the territory had been wiped out.

Zhao Chi already had withdrawn from Qiyue's body.

His spiritual power was completely spent, and his body's drug resistance had also maxed out.

Fortunately, the enemy's cause was already lost.

Gu Qing's silk threads across her whole body were nearly exhausted as well.

Now she could only spit out a tiny bit more—no more than that.

Tang Ruan was utterly drained; her stamina had been depleted far too severely, and her body's drug resistance had likewise maxed out.

Qiyue, on the other hand, was still fine.

Her body remained light and agile; she could still keep fighting.

The female soldiers were also nearly spent, but for now they could still grit their teeth and fight on.

The harpies and naga warriors had also gathered around the perimeter.

Zhao Chi pointed to the southwest.

"We still have a little over an hour. Move into enemy territory at once. When you see the enemy, show no mercy—kill them all!"
