Chapter 71: Sequence Transcendent vs. Human-Faced Scorpion

"Ouch! Ouch!"

The Human-Faced Scorpion rubbed the spot where Iron Lion had previously beaten it with its large pincers, its facial expression just like a human's.

It was utterly spine-chilling to watch.

But just then, the Human-Faced Scorpion's face transformed into... Zhou Lan's face.

Not only was Chen Ye stunned.

Even Iron Lion and Nana were caught completely off guard.

And Zhou Xiaoxiao in the distance was as if struck by lightning.

She murmured, "Why, why is it my sister's face?"

The skin exposed on the young girl's face was as pale as a sheet of white paper.

"Chen Ye, you're so cruel!"

"You're so cruel!"

That exaggerated large face aimed directly at Chen Ye, its expression filled with intense resentment.

Seeing such an enormous face making that expression made people's scalps crawl.

In a daze, Chen Ye even saw Zhou Lan herself standing there, seemingly asking him why he hadn't saved her.

Chen Ye felt a sense of alarm.

Smoke Breath quickly spread before his eyes, blocking his vision.

This Human-Faced Scorpion was strange.

Exhaling a dense cloud of smoke, the smoke clouds around Chen Ye thickened and expanded their range considerably.

He couldn't yet cover several kilometers around with a single breath of smoke.

He could only accumulate it gradually like this for now.

"Chen Ye, I want you to die~~~~"

The Human-Faced Scorpion's final "die" was sharp and piercing.

It made people around feel dizzy and disoriented.

A scorpion tail stinger shot out like lightning toward where Chen Ye had been standing.

The smoke cloud was pierced through, but nothing happened.

Hidden within the smoke clouds, Chen Ye could clearly sense the position of the scorpion tail stinger. Without thinking, he flicked his wrist and threw the Blood Resentment Machete.

"Ouch ouch ouch..."

Where the Blood Resentment Machete met the scorpion tail stinger, a long stream of sparks erupted.

Although the Blood Resentment Machete didn't deal significant damage to the Human-Faced Scorpion, judging by its expression, it wasn't completely ineffective either.

At the same time, the System provided some feedback, granting him some Slaughter Points.

But Chen Ye had no mind to check right now.

"Damn it, Chen Ye, where are you hiding? Come out!"

The Human-Faced Scorpion, hurt and in pain, grew even more furious.

"Iron Lion, Nana... aren't you going to act?"

Iron Lion roared and charged toward the Human-Faced Scorpion like a flesh tank.

The Titan Sequence's combat style was close-quarters brawling - powerful physical strength and recovery ability made it fearless of any hand-to-hand combat.

"With crimson marks as covenant, sword soul becomes one with body! Drink my essence blood, cry out to the three souls!..."

The girl chanted incantations.

The long-legged girl had used this move before in Longevity Village.

The long sword in her hand glowed with white light, and even from this distance, Chen Ye could feel the sharpness of the sword energy.

The girl tilted her head slightly, and the black scorpion tail stinger just missed her.

Does this woman have eyes in the back of her head?

Or is this an ability of the Sword Immortal Sequence?

This Human-Faced Scorpion was so cunning, transforming into Zhou Lan's face to make everyone think it was targeting him.

But then it turned around and targeted the long-legged girl instead.

What a treacherous Anomaly.

"Damn it!"

The girl's figure moved like a butterfly among flowers, her long sword continuously leaving wounds on the Human-Faced Scorpion's body.

Truly worthy of a Sword Immortal at the Open Blade Realm, the second realm of the Sword Immortal Sequence.

The three-meter-tall little giant seemed somewhat petite for the first time when facing the Human-Faced Scorpion with its truck-like volume.

The Human-Faced Scorpion's body was covered in hard exoskeleton, making Iron Lion's attacks seem somewhat insufficient.

"Aim for the face!"

Chen Ye's voice came from the smoke clouds.

The girl's long sword flowed and directly stabbed toward the Human-Faced Scorpion's eyes.

"Xixi, look who I am!"

Just as the long sword was about to pierce the Human-Faced Scorpion's eyes, its large face twisted again, transforming into a woman's face that could show both anger and joy.

The woman's face bore four or five similarities to the long-legged girl's, just looking more mature.

When the girl saw this face, her entire being became dazed.

"Sis? Nana?"

Nana... wasn't that her own name?

Seeing this face, the girl found she couldn't bring herself to thrust her sword forward, and her whole body seemed to be under a paralysis spell.

She stared blankly at this face, trembling violently all over!

"Hehe... Xixi, you still remember me, you still remember me..."

"My dearest little sister, I miss you so much, I miss you so much."

"You ate me, but I don't blame you, because we've finally become one. Now you are me, and I am you!"

"Little sister..."

"My good little sister!"

Chen Ye's eyelids twitched violently, a sense of danger instantly approaching.

Indeed, no Anomaly was easy to deal with!

"Iron Lion, attack!"

"Fuck your ghostly tricks!"

Iron Lion also noticed something was wrong. Circling around the two large pincers and enduring a strike from the scorpion tail, he finally rushed close to the Human-Faced Scorpion.

"Die!"

His fist, large as a sandbag, smashed directly toward the Human-Faced Scorpion's face.

But then the Human-Faced Scorpion's face twisted rapidly again.

"Boss, look who I am?"

The Human-Faced Scorpion's face twisted once more, this time into an old woman's face with graying hair.

Seeing this face.

Chen Ye inwardly cursed: "Big Fool, don't look at it!"

But by the time he shouted this, it was already too late.

That enormous human face wore a benevolent expression.

"Boss, all these years, you've worked so hard!"

As these words were spoken, Iron Lion's little giant-like body trembled violently, his eyes turning red.

Chen Ye had never seen such an expression on Iron Lion before.

Captain Chu, who had been watching the battle from nearby, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

If Chen Ye and the other two were defeated, the entire convoy would be doomed today.

Chu Che looked up at the sun in the sky.

The previous sandstorm had passed, and sunlight once again bathed the earth.

In his perception, this Human-Faced Scorpion's abilities had been significantly suppressed.

Even so, this suppressed Anomaly could still fight the three of them to a standstill.

If the blood moon rose, they probably wouldn't even have a chance to resist.

"Fuck!"

A machete with a willow branch attached stabbed directly toward that enormous human face.

"Chen Ye..."

The face transformed into Zhou Lan again!

The machete came down directly on its head.

The Human-Faced Scorpion didn't understand someone like Chen Ye; what it had read from Chen Ye's mind was Zhou Lan's face.

Why could this person still bring himself to strike?

Actually, the Human-Faced Scorpion didn't know that even if it were the real Zhou Lan, Chen Ye would still cut her down.

"Ah~~~"

A bloody gash appeared on its face.

"Chen Ye, you... look who I am!"

The Human-Faced Scorpion transformed again!

It was the old woman's face.

Chen Ye hesitated slightly, but only very slightly.

The smoke around him boiled, and several large dogs charged out of the smoke toward the Human-Faced Scorpion.

Smoke Mimicry.

Iron Lion and Nana remained standing in place, tears streaming down their faces while murmuring things no one could understand.

The smoke dogs rushed to the Human-Faced Scorpion, biting at that large face.

The scorpion pincers swung, directly smashing the smoke dogs to pieces.

Not far away, several more identical smoke dogs came running out.

The machete danced wildly.

Thick white smoke continuously streamed from Chen Ye's mouth and nostrils, and the smoke range continued to expand.

"Chen Ye, look at me..."

"Look at your fucking face..."

Facing another familiar face, Chen Ye raised his blade and struck down, leaving another bloody gash on the Human-Faced Scorpion's face.

The Human-Faced Scorpion didn't understand why this person was so heartless and cruel.

Each of these faces was drawn from his memories.

How could he still bring himself to strike?

The Human-Faced Scorpion didn't notice that the battlefield had unknowingly become filled with considerable smoke, severely obstructing its vision.

"Ah~~~"

The Human-Faced Scorpion's tail stinger thrust frantically, leaving holes in the smoke that were quickly filled by more smoke.

The enormous iron pincers swung wildly, only stirring up waves of swirling smoke.

The survivors widened their eyes, trying to see the battle situation clearly.

Unfortunately, the battlefield grew increasingly blurry.

Chu Che was burning with anxiety when he suddenly remembered something. He turned and rushed back to his modified off-road vehicle, rummaging through the trunk for a while.

Captain Chu held up a bag of blood-red liquid.

"Chen Ye!"

A hand composed of smoke grabbed this bag of blood-red liquid and withdrew into the smoke mist.

It was a bag of black dog blood.

Chen Ye had mentioned before that black dog blood could have some effect on Anomalies.

Chu Che had remembered this, and the two large black dogs kept by the convoy had some of their black dog blood drawn periodically.

This was what he had painstakingly saved up.

By now, those two large black dogs were already terrified, hiding in corners of the vehicles.

"Ah~~~ Chen Ye, I'm going to kill you!"

An extremely resentful voice came through.

Although Chu Che couldn't see clearly, he could sense the Anomaly's aura weakening.

Inside the smoke mist at that moment.

That bag of black dog blood was poured by Chen Ye directly over the Human-Faced Scorpion's head.

Columns of black smoke rose.

"Nana, Big Fool, you two idiots still not awake?"

"I've been fighting for so long, and you two just stand there watching?"

Chen Ye raised his hand and slapped the girl's delicate little face hard.

"Slap!"

The heartless and cruel Chen Ye definitely didn't hold back with this slap.

A red palm print instantly appeared on the girl's face, visibly swelling up.

"Slap!"

He swung full force and gave Iron Lion a slap too.

Both of them woke up.

Ten minutes later...

Continuous roars came from within the smoke mist, making the surrounding survivors' legs tremble with fear.

The Human-Faced Scorpion, now besieged by the furious girl and Iron Lion, grew increasingly weaker.

Chen Ye hid within the smoke mist, taking opportunistic strikes from time to time.

Sometimes throwing the machete.

Sometimes using Mimicry to create large dogs.

Among the three, Chen Ye had the weakest attack power, but the damage he caused was no less significant.

The System continuously showed prompts about Slaughter Points being obtained.

Chen Ye stood behind Iron Lion; this big fool's large size provided excellent cover from attacks.

Iron Lion was covered in blood by now, but he seemed even more excited, fighting even more recklessly.

The machete in his hand spun like a wind wheel.

The girl spat a mouthful of blood onto her long sword, which glowed with flowing light as she cut off half of the Human-Faced Scorpion's head with one strike.

A Sword Immortal at the Open Blade Realm, the second realm of the Sword Immortal Sequence, was truly terrifying once they got serious.

"Go!"

The machete spinning in his hand carried massive kinetic energy as it flew fiercely toward the Human-Faced Scorpion's head.

"No~~~~"

The Human-Faced Scorpion's resentful voice cut off abruptly.

Chen Ye's System also received a prompt.
