Stranger Danger

Chapter 954: Wiping Out The Three Sages With One Finger

It happened out of nowhere. Lady Hundred Flowers never expected someone to ambush her, much less that someone to be her own people. Her guard was down because everyone around her was her aide. By the time she reacted, it was already too late. The shortsword had already pierced her back.

Shocked and furious, Lady Hundred Flowers unleashed a palm strike at her backstabber. However, the move failed to land before the energies dissipated, and she felt weak all over.

The next thing she knew, the backstabber had already wrapped an arm around her waist.

A taunting voice entered her ears. “Tsk tsk… long time no see, Lady Hundred Flowers. I see you are as attractive as ever!”

“It’s you! Wan Bo!” Lady Hundred Flowers exclaimed in shock. “I knew this was a conspiracy!”

Wan Bo, the Hundred-formed Great Sage, was a master at hiding his energies and changing his appearance. He could disguise himself as a male, female, old or young; tall, short, fat or thin. Such was his disguise that few people ever saw through it. Hence the moniker.

Clearly, Wan Bo had slipped into the island long ago and took the appearance of her aide. It was for this very moment.

“I am honored that you still remember me, lady!” The man behind her back whispered into her ear.

“Let go of me!” Lady Hundred Flowers struggled, but it was useless. Whatever that shortsword did, it had robbed her of her strength.

“Tsk tsk… and why would I do that? It is a sin to let go of such a beautiful woman!” Wan Bo replied in a frivolous tone while holding Lady Hundred Flowers tighter. “Besides, your subordinates are going to kill me as soon as I let go. That would leave you without a husband, wouldn’t it? No, no, that is unacceptable!”

“You shameless bastard!” Lady Hundred Flowers was so angry that her complexion was beet red. “What on earth are you planning?” “What are we planning?” Wan Bo cackled as he tried to caress Lady Hundred Flowers’ face, though she managed to dodge out of the way. “Do you really need to ask, my lady?”

“You shameless rapist! Let go of me!” Enraged, Lady Hundred Flowers kept struggling to no avail.

“Tsk tsk… your angry face seriously is something, lady!”

Wan Bo’s grin widened. “But you really should give up already. My Colorless Bone Softening Poison temporarily cuts off your energy flow, restricts your mind, and turns your body limp. It will be a while before you can move, and even death is denied to you. So just let me have you, okay lady?”

As he said this, Wan Bo removed the veil covering Lady Hundred Flowers’ face and was instantly charmed by her supernatural beauty. He looked like he wanted to eat her alive as he murmured, “Beautiful. How beautiful. The people weren’t lying when they say you are stunning enough to topple cities, my lady.”

Wan Bo’s hands were beginning to move to places that were absolutely forbidden to the likes of him, and a hint of humiliation and anger flashed across Lady Hundred Flowers’ gorgeous features. However, she knew keenly that there was absolutely nothing she could do. She had no choice but to close her eyes in choking despair and helplessness and waited for the inevitable.

Strangely, nothing happened. Wan Bo’s hands had suddenly frozen in their tracks, and considering that he wasn’t saying anything, it probably wasn’t because he was trying to toy with his prey or something. Confused, Lady Hundred Flowers opened her eyes to see what Wan Bo was doing.

As it turned out, Wan Bo really wasn’t moving. It was as if someone had cast an immobilization spell on him. When she tried to probe him with her senses, she discovered in shock that Wan Bo… was dead.

That’s right. Wang Bo was dead. His expression was still arranged into a look of intoxication, his eyes were still burning with an evil flame, and she could feel the body warmth emanating from his hand just inches away from her face. However, he was undoubtedly dead. Somehow, someone had snuffed out his mind.

What’s going on?

Puzzlement and even more shock flashed through Lady Hundred Flowers’ mind.

“Are you alright, lady?”

It was at this moment a feminine figure appeared in front of her and supported her.

“Qingyou? Are you the one who saved me?”

Lady Hundred Flowers stared at the woman before her in astonishment before recalling something. Then, she said in an urgent voice, “This has nothing to do with you, Qingyou. Leave now! The Great Green Banyan Array will break very soon. If you don’t leave now, it will be too late!” ?â

“Please tell Liunian[1]… that I don’t resent him anymore.”

She did not know how Feng Qingyou was able to kill Wan Bo, but the young woman’s energies felt almost imperceptible to her senses. Consider how young she was, it made sense that she couldn’t be too powerful. She must have killed Wan Bo using a powerful Strange Artifact or art, and the only reason she succeeded was because the bastard was completely focused on her and not expecting any resistance. In short, it was mostly luck. She did not believe Qingyou could repeat the same feat against Yuan Xiang and Green Daylily.

This incident had nothing to do with Feng Qingyou, and Feng Qingyou was her old friend’s junior. She did not want to drag her into this and risk her life for nothing.

Lady Hundred Flowers’ voice grew even more urgent when she realized that Feng Qingyou wasn’t budging. “Go! Yuan Xiang and Green Daylily will arrive at any moment! Go before it’s too late!”

Feng Qingyou consoled her, “At ease, lady. There is no need to fret over a bunch of clowns.”

She wondered if it was her imagination, but as soon as she heard Feng Qingyou’s words, Lady Hundred Flowers’ anxiety abruptly subsided into nothing.

It almost felt like everything would be fine as long as Feng Qingyou was here.

Before she could decipher her strange reaction though, a deafening explosion stole her attention. She turned and saw the green banyan in the sky withering at a visible rate before dissolving into nothing.

Without Lady Hundred Flowers to support it, the Great Green Banyan Array was much, much easier to breach. This was evident from the fact that Yuan Xiang and Green Daylily had broken through way faster than they should have.

“Hahaha… Wan Bo must have done it.”

As soon as the array broke, a boorish, tyrannical laugh resounded throughout the island. “Boys and girls! The Hundred Flowers Island is colluding with the traitorous dragons. Do not allow a single human or Stranger to escape! Kill them all!”

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

A chorus of battle cries came from the sea, and a group of warriors disembarked their warships and rushed straight toward Hundred Flowers Island.

“Brother? What’s wrong?”

Suddenly, Green Daylily realized that something was off with Wan Bo. Her heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition gripped her all of a sudden.

“Brother? Brother? What’s wrong with you?”

A tall, muscular man appeared beside Green Daylily next and stared at the lifeless Wan Bo on the ground for a moment. Then, he erupted in anger, “Who was it? Who was the bastard who killed my brother?!”

He then saw Lady Hundred Flowers and her entourage and roared, “You! You must be the one who killed my brother! I’ll rip you apart, you lowly bitch!”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Yuan Xiang charged toward them, his footsteps thundering across the ground and shaking it like an actual elephant. Even worse, every time Yuan Xiang took a step, he would grow three meters taller. In just a couple of steps, he had grown into a thirty-meter tall elephant with a head as big as a millstone. His face looked savage, and his horns looked big and sharp enough to skewer a dozen people effortlessly. His “arms” were as thick as pillars, and his legs resembled mini hills. His skin was bluish black in color and tough like rocks. He was overflowing with primal, animalistic strength.

Yuan Xiang practiced a martial art called the “Wild Elephant Mountain Splitting Scripture”. It was an ancient body-tempering martial art created based on the ancient Stranger, the Mountain Splitting Wild Elephant. At the adept stage, the practitioner would gain the Mountain Splitting Wild Elephant True Body and be able to transform into the Stranger itself. They would become exceedingly durable and strong.

Yuan Xiang might look like a big, dumb oaf, but it was the opposite. He was, in fact, very smart and cautious.

Whoever had killed Wan Bo, they must be incredibly strong to do it without them noticing until it was too late. That was why he did not hesitate to manifest his Mountain Splitting Wild Elephant True Body and go all out from the beginning.

1. Anyone still remember our Uncle Feng? Yeeeeeeeeeeah this almost turned into an NTR story LOL. ?
