Chapter 853: Chapter 853: Double-Faced Butterfly Girl

In the sky, two dazzling streaks of light intersected and then collided violently, producing a blinding brightness under the watch of countless people.

Afterwards, a sound like thunder striking echoed throughout Holy City, causing many timid Martial Artists to shudder involuntarily.

Both Butterfly Girl and Sun Shang seemed to prefer mid-to-long-range attacks.

As green vines and multicolored light clashed repeatedly, bursts of exploding sounds echoed one after another.

Both sides wanted to strike first, but their attacks were persistently blocked by the opponent’s staunch defense, resulting in a deadlock.

Typically, Martial Artists like these feared being attacked because their defenses were not very strong.

Sun Shang seemed to perceive this, so suddenly a gigantic vine appeared behind him, splitting into thousands of thin tendrils that pierced towards Butterfly Girl.

Butterfly Girl flapped her wings; a huge protective barrier, identical to her wings, completely shielded her behind it.

The tendrils continuously struck the barrier, making sounds like raindrops hitting the ground after a heavy downpour.

Sun Shang was surprised to find that Butterfly Girl’s defensive measures were plentiful, especially the shield, which was unexpectedly robust; he had almost used all his strength, yet he couldn’t completely shatter the shield.

In terms of strength, Butterfly Girl was probably no weaker than any Cave Heaven Realm Martial Artist, but she seemed severely lacking in experience.

Seeing this, Sun Shang couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh.

With strong strength but insufficient experience, I have a way to deal with you properly.

Boom!

Suddenly, a giant spike shot out from the ground beneath where Butterfly Girl stood.

The spike moved extremely fast, stabbing directly towards Butterfly Girl.

Moreover, it bypassed the protective barrier perfectly.

Whoosh!

What Sun Shang hadn’t expected was that Butterfly Girl, facing this sneak attack, showed no panic at all; she merely swayed her body, and a shower of multicolored powder fell.

This powder was terrifying; sticking to the vines, it caused them to turn against each other, attacking Sun Shang instead.

Although the power was significantly reduced, this defense method shocked many spectators.

It was evident that, although Butterfly Girl might genuinely lack experience, her intelligence was sharp, and her cleverness compensated somewhat for her lack of experience.

"She really is quite difficult to handle."

Sun Shang frowned.

He decided to intervene, firstly because Butterfly Girl was worth capturing.

Secondly, he judged her current strength and felt confident in his ability to subdue her with his capabilities.

"If that’s the case, don’t blame me for being merciless!"

Sun Shang never considered himself a Martial Artist.

Martial Artists sometimes have to follow certain rules, like not using special items like Thunderbolt Flame Bombs during a fight.

But he had no such reservations.

The reason he hadn’t used it earlier was purely out of fear of killing Butterfly Girl, as he intended to capture her alive, not as a corpse.

But now it was different; he sensed the strength of Butterfly Girl and knew that even if he used that special tactic, he wouldn’t necessarily kill her, so he had no scruples anymore.

"Boom!"

A green projectile was thrown from Sun Shang’s hand, then exploded near Butterfly Girl’s body.

The terrifying impact sent Butterfly Girl’s body flying.

At the critical location impacted, her skin ruptured, and blood flowed out along her skin, creating a shocking sight.

"Ah—!"

A shrill scream erupted from Butterfly Girl’s mouth, the lively and cute creature’s eyes now flashing with blood-red hatred.

The figure thrown into the air suddenly stopped and then, with unbelievable speed, pounced toward Sun Shang.

Originally skilled in mid-to-long-range attacks, Butterfly Girl now engaged in close combat.

Even her appearance subtly changed, becoming fiercer and even somewhat hideous.

Her hands even grew sharp claws, each over three inches long, clearly not to be underestimated.

Sun Shang was stunned by this sudden change; he tried to dodge, but the opponent was too fast.

With no other choice, he erected countless vines to form a protective vine shield.

This shield, infused with almost all of his strength, was meant to block this fierce attack.

However, in the next moment, the shield was shattered, and the cold, gleaming claws enlarged in his pupils.

Puchi!

In the nick of time, Sun Shang dodged the critical strike, but his shoulder was pierced through, the bloody hole chilling to behold.

On the arena, countless people were astonished.

This was Marvellous Hand Heavenly Lord Sun Shang, one of the few in the Cave Heaven Realm who could injure him, and even fewer could manhandle him like this.

Yet, the incident didn’t end there; pierced by the attack, Sun Shang was again hit with a terrifying force and sent crashing through four or five walls of the Imperial Palace, leaving human-shaped holes scattered about.

"Is this still the delicate Butterfly Girl?"

The Martial Artists watching the commotion swallowed hard, finding it somewhat inconceivable.

Such a drastic change in before and after.

Boom!

After an explosion, the blood-covered Sun Shang leaped out from behind a wall, his gaze turned completely cold, his heart filled with shock.

Only now did he realize he had completely underestimated this strange butterfly.

Initially, he saw it as a little monster inadequate in combat experience, thinking he could easily capture her with his techniques.

Instead, he was left thoroughly embarrassed.

He needed to use more ruthless methods!

If explosions wouldn’t work, then poison it would be!

After all, as an Alchemist, Sun Shang was even more familiar with poisons; his strongest poison even made Yin Yang Realm Martial Artists wary.

To use it on Butterfly Girl today, he felt a bit reluctant.

After all, the ingredients required to make that poison were extremely hard to find; he only had a tiny drop left, and once it was used, it would be gone.

It was originally meant for self-defense, but the current Butterfly Girl completely infuriated him, sparking his desire to completely annihilate her.

He turned his head to look in another direction, where Ling Xiao and Si Kong Xuan were still playing a game of hide-and-seek.

As time passed, Si Kong Xuan’s speed slowed, while Ling Xiao’s speed did not decrease; he occasionally went up to bombard the barrier at the entrance of the Nine Tripod Illusionary Realm and then quickly retreated with Si Kong Xuan having no way to catch him.

Initially, Si Kong Xuan could have relied on his Cave Heaven Realm cultivation level to forcibly increase his speed, not giving Ling Xiao any chance.

But after being attacked by Little Butterfly, his strength greatly diminished, temporarily dropping to the Heavenly Man Realm level, practically losing that advantage.
