Chapter 2303 - "The Twin Brothers' Coordinated Attack"
"Brother Nazar, rest assured, when you invite us, the Garcon brothers, we naturally have to help you out of trouble."
"That's right, you just rest on the sidelines and watch how we, the Garcon brothers, slay the demons!"
The twin brothers spoke in turn, exuding an air of confidence as if victory was already assured.
"Demoness! Do you hear me? If you know what's good for you, surrender now, or today will be your end!" Nazar glared and shouted.
"Why so much nonsense? If you want to fight, let's fight. I'm in a hurry to go upstairs for dinner." Abigail was getting impatient.
"Arrogant!"
"Watch how we, the Garcon brothers, deal with you!"
The twin brothers were instantly provoked, without saying another word, they directly picked up their weapons and charged forward.
Their weapons were quite unique, one was a Judge's Pen, and the other was an Abacus.
They immediately launched their attack, with the Abacus swinging, a large number of abacus beads shot out like hidden weapons, covering the sky and raining down towards Abigail.
While the abacus beads were attacking from a distance, the Judge's Pen also thrust forward like a spear.
Their coordination was extremely tacit, and there was a hidden killing intent.
First, they used a large number of abacus beads to attract attention, then they struck with the Judge's Pen for a fatal blow.
For ordinary martial artists, it would be impossible to defend against.
But who was Abigail?
As the Grand Sorceress of the Mystic Arts Order and the second-ranked powerhouse on the Heavenly Whiz List, she naturally didn't put the Garcon brothers' attacks in her eyes.
"Petty tricks."
Abigail snorted coldly and waved her hand.
A violent surge of qi burst out instantly, like a surging wave, directly sending the incoming abacus beads flying.
For a moment, it sounded like hail was falling all around.
"Die!"
Garcon's Elder Twin, who was holding the Judge's Pen, took advantage of Abigail's distraction and suddenly stabbed towards her chest.
Seeing this, Abigail remained expressionless, just extending two fingers and lightly gripping the Judge's Pen.
Garcon's Elder Twin's pupils contracted, his face showing shock.
He hadn't expected that their well-trained killing move would be effortlessly broken like this.
"Is this your strength?" Abigail looked at him with eyes that seemed to see death.
"Demoness! You've fallen into our trap!"
Garcon's Elder Twin suddenly smirked, then forcefully pressed the switch of the hidden weapon in the Judge's Pen.
"Shoo!"
The next moment, from the tip of the Judge's Pen, a Divine Frostbite Needle suddenly shot out.
The Divine Frostbite Needle was one of the top ten hidden weapons,
Specializing in breaking through protective qi and also having a strong freezing effect.
As long as it hit a vital point, no matter how profound one's cultivation was, it would be futile.
This Divine Frostbite Needle was the Garcon brothers' lifesaving move, and they would not use it lightly unless it was absolutely necessary.
Just now, Garcon's Elder Twin had already felt the threat of death, so he chose to directly use this killing move.
At such a close distance, the other party couldn't possibly dodge it.
"Hmph! Now let's see how you die!"
Just as the Garcon brothers thought the situation was set, Abigail suddenly opened her mouth and bit down on the Divine Frostbite Needle with her teeth.
Chapter 2304 - "The Emergence of the Four Tigers"
"What? How is that possible?!"
The Garcon brothers' faces changed drastically. Before they could react, Abigail suddenly took a deep breath and then forcefully expelled the ice-cold divine needle from her mouth.
"Whoosh!"
The divine needle shot out, directly piercing through Garcon's Elder Twin's throat.
"Ugh..."
The Garcon's Elder Twin stiffened all over, standing still on the spot, his eyes widened in disbelief.
The next moment, his body rapidly froze, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into an ice sculpture.
Then, he fell backward with a "bang," shattering into pieces.
Dead and gone.
"Big brother!"
Seeing the shattered pieces of flesh on the ground, the Garcon's younger twin was both shocked and furious.
They had been fully prepared, but they never expected to fail in their sneak attack and end up being killed instead.
"Dare to kill my big brother? I'll fight you to the death!"
Garcon's younger twin's eyes were bloodshot, and he swung the abacus in his hand violently. All the abacus beads inside tilted out at the same time, shooting towards Abigail like a storm.
Abigail stood motionless, just raising her hand and suddenly waving her sleeve.
"Boom!"
A violent surge of Grandmaster's Qi erupted, carrying an immense force that blew all the abacus beads back in reverse.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang..."
With a series of explosions, a large number of abacus beads pierced through the Garcon's younger twin's body like bullets, turning him into a hornet's nest.
Garcon's younger twin spurted out a mouthful of blood and collapsed on the ground, breathless.
From start to finish, the two sides only exchanged three moves.
"Dead... Are they dead?"
Looking at the incomplete bodies lying on the ground, everyone was speechless and dumbfounded.
They thought that the witch from the Mystic Arts Order was only good at using poison, and the Garcon brothers, who were immune to all poisons, happened to be her nemesis.
However, with just one encounter, both Garcon brothers were dead, completely without any chance to resist.
The strength of the two sides was simply not on the same level.
"Garcon brothers? Hmph! They're just a bunch of useless trash!" Nazar spat on the ground disdainfully.
He had thought that the two were experts, but as a result, they couldn't even withstand three moves from the witch. They were truly pathetic.
"Who else wants to come and die?"
Abigail stood quietly, her eyes cold and terrifying.
In the past, she would have already started a massacre without hesitation, not wasting any words.
But this was Dragon Tiger Mountain. In the past few days, she still had to continue her business. If she killed too many people, it would inevitably affect her business.
It was precisely because of this consideration that she was unwilling to make a big fuss.
Unfortunately, although she had mercy, others might not necessarily stop.
"Let the Four Tigers of Qingzhou also known as "Ferocious Four of Qingzhou" come and meet you!"
At this moment, four people walked out from behind Nazar.
These four people were tall, short, fat, and thin, each with a different appearance. When they gathered together, they had a somewhat imposing manner.
"The Ferocious Four of Qingzhou? I've never even heard of them."
Abigail said disdainfully, "In my opinion, you might as well come together. Don't dawdle, I'm short on time."
Chapter 2305 - "The Crane Formation's Assault"
"Vixen! Don't get cocky! The day after tomorrow will be your death anniversary!"
"Hmph! We, the Ferocious Four of Qingzhou, have roamed the rivers and lakes for many years. We've seen all kinds of storms and waves. You, a mere little vixen, dare to boast shamelessly in front of us. You truly don't know your place!"
"If you know what's good for you, kneel down and bow your head immediately, otherwise—kill!"
...
Abigail's contemptuous words instantly enraged the Ferocious Four of Qingzhou.
Each of them was filled with righteous indignation and shouted loudly.
Although the title of the Mystic Arts Order's Grand Sorceress was terrifying, they were all tough characters who had licked blood off their blades, fearless after experiencing life and death.
Of course, the main reason was that Abigail was too young.
At the age of eighteen or nineteen, even if she cultivated from the womb, she couldn't have a very high level of cultivation.
Moreover, Abigail was alone without any attendants by her side.
But they had a group of heroes supporting them.
Even if the opponent was powerful, they couldn't stand up against four fists with just two.
"So noisy!"
Abigail furrowed her brows slightly, somewhat impatient. "It seems that unless you see blood today, you won't know fear."
"Stop the nonsense! Let the four of us brothers have a chat with you, little vixen!"
The Ferocious Four of Qingzhou glanced at each other, no longer wasting words, and directly drew their weapons to charge forward.
The four men were fast, and when they launched their attacks, they even formed a Crane Formation.
The so-called Crane Formation had two people in the front and two in the back, forming a 'figure eight' shape to simulate the appearance of a flying crane.
The Crane Formation could attack and defend, advance and retreat, with unpredictable changes.
The four could easily change their offensive and defensive positions, achieving unexpected effects and defeating the enemy.
Especially in a situation where they outnumbered their opponent, the Crane Formation could unleash the power of strangulation.
"As expected of the Ferocious Four of Qingzhou! Their strength is much stronger than the Garcon brothers!"
"Yes! The Ferocious Four of Qingzhou are the powerful figures in the area. With the four of them joining forces against a vixen, it should be more than enough!"
"This vixen is still too young after all. She dares to fight alone, without even a follower by her side. Today is her death day!"
Seeing the menacing Ferocious Four of Qingzhou surrounding her, the experts behind Nazar couldn't help but discuss.
Obviously, compared to the newly appointed Grand Sorceress of the Mystic Arts Order, Abigail, they still believed more in the victory of the Ferocious Four of Qingzhou.
"Tigers pounce for their prey!"
"Tiger's roar in the mountains!"
"Tigers display their might!"
"Dragons contend with tigers!"
After surrounding Abigail, the Ferocious Four of Qingzhou simultaneously attacked from various directions.
Some used swords, some used knives, some used hidden weapons, and some used poison.
For a moment, there were various attacks coming from all directions, overwhelming the senses.
"Ignorant!"
Seeing the attacks of the four, Abigail snorted coldly and directly raised her hand to strike out with a palm.
"Boom!"
The palm wind was like thunder, roaring out.
Carrying the force of a thousand catties, it suddenly pressed down on the Ferocious Four of Qingzhou.
Chapter 2306 - "Merciless Mercy"
The Ferocious Four of Qingzhou felt a sudden heaviness in their bodies, their movements instantly slowed down.
The next moment, a palm strike as fierce as a landslide and tsunami came crashing towards them.
The four of them felt as if they were struck by lightning, screaming in agony as they were sent flying more than ten meters away, then crashing heavily to the ground, blood gushing from their mouths.
With just one move, the Ferocious Four of Qingzhou were defeated.
Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned, wearing expressions of disbelief.
"How... How could this be? The Ferocious Four of Qingzhou were actually defeated?"
"She defeated the Ferocious Four of Qingzhou with just one move. How strong is this demoness?"
Everyone looked at each other in shock.
When Abigail easily defeated the Garcon brothers earlier, they could understand, after all, the Garcon brothers' specialty was immunity to poisons, and their true combat power was not considered strong.
But the Ferocious Four of Qingzhou were the opposite, all four of them were extremely powerful, especially when they combined forces, they were invincible, rarely encountering opponents.
However, such experts, after just one encounter, were severely injured and spitting blood, which was truly terrifying.
"Demoness! You... You actually crippled our cultivation bases?!"
The Ferocious Four of Qingzhou lay on the ground, shocked and afraid, unable to get up for a long time.
"Crippling your cultivation bases, so what? Not killing you is already showing mercy." Abigail said expressionlessly.
"You..."
The Ferocious Four of Qingzhou were so angry they spat out another mouthful of blood.
Originally, they had planned to make some money and gain some fame, but they didn't expect to fail miserably.
"Now, it's your turn!"
Abigail swept her gaze over and looked at Nazar's group.
Her sharp gaze made many people's eyelids twitch, feeling inexplicably flustered.
They were not stupid. Abigail's strength was so strong that there was no need for many words.
Letting her bully the weak was one thing, but if they really encountered top experts, it would undoubtedly be like an egg hitting a rock.
"Demoness! I didn't expect you to be so capable. I underestimated you before, but if you want to deal with the heroes and righteous men behind me with your own strength, it's undoubtedly a foolish dream!"
"Now, I'm going to let you see what it means to be outnumbered!"
"Heroes, let's kill the demoness together!"
Nazar raised his long knife and shouted loudly, full of momentum.
"Kill the demoness! Kill the demoness!"
After him, the others seemed to be infected, all raising their weapons and shouting.
"Kill!!"
Nazar waved his long knife forward, leading several experts from the Frostfire Monastery to charge forward.
At this moment, he had already forgotten about martial ethics, as long as he could avenge his father and wipe out his shame, he was capable of doing anything.
"Kill!!"
The other experts followed closely behind Nazar, shouting as they charged.
They had already taken the money, so naturally, they couldn't flee before battle, even if it was just for show, they had to finish the act.
Otherwise, how could they continue to mix in the martial world in the future?
Chapter 2307 - "Needles of Doom: Abigail's Deadly Déjà Vu"
"Not Knowing Your Own Limits!"
As the group led by Nazar charged towards them, Abigail's expression turned cold. She suddenly took out a fist-sized iron ball and threw it out.
This iron ball was one of the eight major hidden weapons of the Tang Discipline Academy, the Hundred Flowers Killer.
Inside the iron ball were 888 poison needles, each capable of nullifying protective true qi.
For martial artists below the grandmaster level, being hit by these poison needles would instantly immobilize them.
This item was won by Abigail from a Tang Discipline Academy expert at the gambling table, and now it came in handy.
"Hum~!"
After the Hundred Flowers Killer was thrown out, it emitted a slight buzzing sound as the mechanism inside began to operate rapidly.
The 888 poison needles were ready to be unleashed.
"Humph! You think you can harm us with mere hidden weapons? Simply delusional!"
Seeing Abigail throw out the iron ball, Nazar didn't even hesitate as he directly lifted his blade and chopped down.
"Clang!"
As Nazar's blade made contact with the iron ball, countless tiny holes on the surface of the iron ball instantly erupted with a large number of poison needles.
"Shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo..."
These poison needles swept across the area like a violent storm.
"Watch out for hidden weapons!"
Someone exclaimed, but it was already too late.
The poison needles from the Hundred Flowers Killer had already been unleashed, turning the area within a ten-meter radius into a death zone.
Nazar, who was at the forefront, became the first target to be attacked.
Although Nazar reacted quickly and immediately activated his protective true qi for defense.
However, the poison needles of the Hundred Flowers Killer were specifically designed to break through protective true qi.
As a result, in an instant, Nazar was pierced like a sieve.
His entire body absorbed over a hundred poison needles.
Apart from Nazar, the other experts behind him also suffered fatal blows.
In an instant, some died, some were injured, and a large number of them fell to the ground.
On one hand, it was because the Hundred Flowers Killer of the Tang Discipline Academy was too formidable; on the other hand, it was because they were caught off guard.
They only knew that the Mystic Arts Order was good at using poison, but they didn't expect Abigail to have Tang Discipline Academy hidden weapons.
Without any preparation, they all fell into the trap.
Those with strong abilities managed to protect their vital points with weapons at a critical moment and barely saved their lives, while those with weaker abilities died on the spot.
More than twenty people, after just one exchange, lay sprawled on the ground.
Various wails and curses filled the air.
"The Hundred Flowers Killer of the Tang Discipline Academy is truly well-deserved of its reputation. It's unexpectedly effective."
Watching the large number of casualties, Abigail couldn't help but smirk.
She had just thrown out the Hundred Flowers Killer on a whim, wanting to test the power of the Tang Discipline Academy hidden weapons, but she didn't expect the effect to be so good.
Just one Hundred Flowers Killer knocked down more than twenty innate martial artists, truly living up to its reputation as a weapon of mass destruction.
If she had a few more of these, in a group fight, it would be invincible.
Chapter 2308 - "Run or Hide: Strategies Against the Hundred Flowers"
"My goodness! What was that just now? Why did everyone below collapse in the blink of an eye?"
On the second floor of the tavern, Ruby looked through the window at the scene below, her eyes widened in astonishment.
Everything happened too fast for her to react.
She saw Abigail throw something black, and then Nazar and his group screamed and fell to the ground.
"That's Tang Discipline Academy's Hundred Flowers Killer, one of the eight great hidden weapons, with extremely terrifying lethality, and it specializes in breaking through protective true qi. It's difficult for martial artists below Grandmaster level to resist." Ulysses's face was serious.
Although he had heard of the Hundred Flowers Killer before, he had never seen it with his own eyes.
In the past, he thought it was just Tang Discipline Academy boasting, with some exaggeration, but now, after witnessing the power of the Hundred Flowers Killer, he realized how terrifying this hidden weapon was.
"The Hundred Flowers Killer of Tang Discipline Academy? Isn't that too terrifying?" Ruby swallowed nervously, her heart still pounding.
If she had been down there just now, she would probably be a corpse by now.
"Although Tang Discipline Academy's Hundred Flowers Killer is powerful, its effective attack range is only thirty meters."
Kieran squinted and said, "Within thirty meters, it's extremely lethal, but beyond thirty meters, its power decreases by half. And the Hundred Flowers Killer is designed to be a delayed launch to avoid harming oneself, so to guard against it, it's simple. There are mainly two points: first, run for your life immediately upon seeing it, as fast as you can; second, find a sturdy cover for protection.
Although the Hundred Flowers Killer has the characteristic of breaking through true qi, its penetrating power is not strong. Rocks, steel, anything solid can weaken or even block the poisonous needles of the Hundred Flowers Killer.
Simply put, either run or hide.
Of course, if you're a Grandmaster in martial arts, you can ignore it altogether.
The poisonous needles of the Hundred Flowers Killer can break through true qi, but they can't break through the aura of a Grandmaster. In the end, as long as your strength is strong enough, any hidden weapon is just a decoration."
Although Tang Discipline Academy's hidden weapons were powerful, they also had certain drawbacks.
Firstly, powerful hidden weapons had strict material requirements and were difficult to manufacture, making mass production impossible. Only a few elite disciples could possess them.
Secondly, hidden weapons were consumables. Once fired, they were basically unusable again.
Finally, the deterrent power of hidden weapons was limited to martial artists below the Grandmaster level.
At the level of a Martial Arts Grandmaster, there were indeed hidden weapons that could harm them, but such things were extremely rare and precious.
Many people had never even heard of them.
"Even if there are some drawbacks, Tang Discipline Academy's hidden weapons are still frightening enough. In the future, if we unfortunately encounter them, it's best to be careful." Emerald's face was serious.
Even within a range of ten meters, she had no confidence in surviving the Hundred Flowers Killer.
Most importantly, there were no restrictions on the use of Tang Discipline Academy's hidden weapons. Even an ordinary person could kill a Martial Arts Master with just a flick of their finger.
Decades of cultivation were no match for an ordinary person's slight movement of the hand.
That... was the terrifying aspect of Tang Discipline Academy!
