Chapter 491: Excitement Unexplainable

The gargoyles appeared clumsy, yet they were surprisingly agile in their leaps. In the blink of an eye, they reached Lady Mosquito, extending their large hands to grab her.

Lady Mosquito met one with a palm strike, resulting in a loud bang. The gargoyle's arm instantly shattered into rubble, but her body also involuntarily swayed.

She immediately realized that confronting these behemoths head-on was unwise, especially since they could endlessly produce such combat creatures.

So, with a flick of her robe, she suddenly froze in place.

Earth Elder was overjoyed, thinking that the infamous Lady Mosquito was not as formidable as her reputation suggested. He immediately commanded the gargoyles to surround her.

The gargoyles seized Lady Mosquito's limbs and brutally pulled.

Lady Mosquito's seemingly frail body was instantly torn into pieces.

Everyone on the scene was stunned, including Earth Elder himself. He was dumbfounded that the renowned Lady Mosquito had been defeated so easily.

Could she have been an imposter?

Just then, the torn body of Lady Mosquito disintegrated into a swarm of black mosquitos that buzzed around the gargoyles.

"Look out!" a companion's startled cry came from nearby.

Earth Elder sensed danger and quickly dodged, but unfortunately, Lady Mosquito was already hidden there. A pale, clean hand silently struck out.

His elemental shield lasted only a few seconds before shattering completely.

The fair hand pressed directly onto his right ribs.

Earth Elder was struck as if by lightning. He flew through the air like a tattered sandbag, his ribs shattered, internal organs severely damaged, and his vital energy in chaos, rendering him unable to fight again.

Lady Mosquito let out a surprised "Oh?" "As expected, Earth element awakened ones are tough."

Clearly, the opponent being merely severely wounded rather than instantly killed was somewhat unexpected for her.

Only then did the surrounding people realize that Lady Mosquito had likely used an illusion of herself made of mosquitos to attract the gargoyles' attention, while her true form stealthily approached Earth Elder for a surprise attack.

This woman was incredibly cunning and deceitful; her various methods were virtually impossible to guard against.

The others dared not delay and quickly launched their attacks. Wood Elder spread his hands, and countless green leaves shot towards Lady Mosquito like a rain of arrows.

Lady Mosquito scoffed lightly. With a sweep of her voluminous robe, all the dense green leaves were absorbed into her sleeve. Then, she swiftly lunged towards her opponent.

She moved at full speed, too fast for Wood Elder to dodge.

Lady Mosquito's fingernails instantly elongated, sharp and piercing into his chest. Just as she was about to extract his heart, she suddenly frowned.

The Wood Elder in front of her suddenly turned into a log, while his true form reappeared dozens of feet away. His usually greenish complexion was now deathly pale, clearly having been thoroughly terrified by that last attack.

"Wood Release Technique?" Lady Mosquito, being well-informed, immediately recognized it.

Just then, Wind Elder's attack arrived. Countless wind blades swept forward, each several dozen feet long and incredibly formidable.

Lady Mosquito disdained to meet them head-on, transforming into a swarm of black mosquitos to evade them. The wind blades were too large to harm the tiny insects.

"I've been waiting for you!" Thunder Elder suddenly burst from the ruins of the inn. He tossed his hammer into the air, where it unleashed countless bolts of lightning, forming an electrical field several dozen feet in radius.

"Ah!" Lady Mosquito's shrill scream echoed through the area.

In her mosquito swarm form, she could evade almost all physical attacks. Even against powerful enemies, as long as a single mosquito escaped, she could survive.

However, such an electrical field was a natural bane to this form. The air was filled with flashing lightning, and even if she had countless mosquito duplicates, they would all be incinerated.

A strong smell of burning filled the air. A large number of mosquitos were instantly electrocuted. Zu An watched, swallowing hard, thinking how much this resembled a UV mosquito killer.

At this point, Lady Mosquito no longer dared to maintain her mosquito form and reverted to her appearance as a Daoist nun.

However, compared to her previous composed demeanor, her face now bore several charred marks, much of her hair was singed and curled, and her robe was noticeably more tattered.

"Man-woman, I'll kill you!" Lady Mosquito glared at Thunder Elder with hatred, clearly having not suffered such a loss in many years.

Hearing this epithet, Thunder Elder flew into a rage. Over the years, she had been most sensitive about this particular nickname due to her figure and appearance. She retorted, "I'll electrocute you to death, you hag!"

The hammer in mid-air accelerated its rotation, and even thicker bolts of lightning struck towards Lady Mosquito.

Lady Mosquito spread her hands, her voluminous robe fluttering without wind. She took a deep breath, then suddenly opened her mouth, releasing a visible ripple of air that spread outwards.

The thick bolts of lightning descending from above were even repelled by this invisible wave. Then, everyone on the scene heard a continuous buzzing, thunder-like sound.

Everyone was familiar with this sound—it was the buzz of mosquitos in summer—but now it was magnified countless times.

Everyone clutched their ears in pain, but this did nothing to stop the invading sound waves. Their heads throbbed as if about to explode.

The spinning hammer in mid-air lost control and fell to the ground, no longer able to emit any lightning.

The various Elders nearby covered their ears, many unable to bear it and writhing in agony on the ground.

Zu An, in particular, was in extreme discomfort. As the weakest in cultivation among those present, he found it hardest to resist this sonic attack.

Seeing this, Qiu Honglei quickly grasped his hand, and a gentle aura emanated, clearly indicating she was helping Zu An resist.

However, she herself wasn't faring much better. Her beautiful eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and her flawless face showed signs of pain.

Watching the people on the scene suffer in pain, Lady Mosquito smiled and began walking towards Zu An and Qiu Honglei. She hadn't used this move earlier, firstly, because it was quite draining and she couldn't easily employ it; secondly, its sheer scale could easily attract distant enemies.

Having spent years hiding, she was accustomed to ambushing others from the shadows, preferring not to reveal her presence, as attracting formidable individuals would be troublesome.

However, she could no longer afford such considerations. Although none of these demonic sect members individually matched her strength, each possessed a unique skill, making them difficult to deal with. She worried about prolonged engagement and decided to quickly capture the two and leave the area without delay.

As her opponent approached, even revealing a demonic smile, Zu An thought, "This can't go on." If he fell into the hands of other factions, he might still escape, but with her, he would soon be a dried husk.

What could he do?

Seeing the Elders around him clutching their ears in agony, Zu An's mind stirred. He immediately blurted out, "What are you looking at?"

Lady Mosquito paused, an inexplicable impulse making her unconsciously reply, "What about it?"

With her reply, the sonic attack naturally ceased, and everyone recovered from their pain.

Lady Mosquito's brow furrowed slightly. She didn't understand why she had responded that way. However, the immediate priority was to incapacitate everyone on the scene. So, she opened her mouth to attack again, but just as the sound wave began, another voice called out—"What are you looking at?"

"What about it?" Lady Mosquito replied once more.

Rage value from Lady Mosquito +444!

She froze instantly. Once might be a coincidence, but twice?

She suddenly looked at Zu An. "Are you from the Dragon clan?"

Clearly, with her experience, she knew the power of the Dragon clan's 'Word of Power'.

"Since you know, why don't you retreat quickly!" Zu An puffed out his chest, saying this despite himself, hoping to use the Dragon clan's prestige to make her back down.

To his surprise, Lady Mosquito's eyes lit up, and she became inexplicably excited. "I haven't drained the essence blood of a Dragon clan member in so many years! Today, I'll finally have my fill!" With that, she lunged at him.
