The cunning Virgo Palace Master would not simply allow himself to be at a disadvantage. Just as the Thunder Envoy aimed to press his advantage, the scales that had just been shattered by lightning suddenly exploded, releasing a swirl of purple energy that coalesced into a vicious hound. It stood guard in the center, blocking the path of the three and charging directly at both the Thunder Envoy and Zoru.
Seeing this, the Wind Envoy, Biaoqing, let out a cold snort. In an instant, a fierce cold wind swept through like blades of steel, slicing through the poisonous hound. The wind blades and toxic mist clashed, but surprisingly, the hound seemed to gain the upper hand. After tearing through the storm, it lunged at Zoru. However, being entangled with the storm had weakened the poison, and a casual Arc strike from Zoru dissipated it into nothingness. The two managed to evade this attack just in time.
Yet for the three of them, the battle was only just beginning. With a clang, Zoru drew his sword. Both Wind and Thunder Envoys frowned simultaneously; they had fought against Virgo Palace Master many times before. His swordsmanship combined with his toxic abilities and formidable water-element spiritual power made him a daunting opponent. They both felt something strange at that moment.
What puzzled them was why their previous cooperation had so easily struck him. Where was that black energy? Why had it not appeared to shield him from the lightning this time? Even more perplexing was its absence during his attack on them.
As this question arose, both quickly formulated ideas. Although they could not guess that Xiao Yefeng had burned away those elements, they suspected he was unable to utilize that ability now. Thus, emboldened by this realization, they did not retreat. Zoru grasped his staff tightly; purple lightning energy surged around it, crackling and flickering as a lightning sword materialized.
Biaoqing took a step back, summoning a gentle breeze that swirled around her to disperse the toxic mist in the air. A similar gust encircled Zoru as well. This was a defensive tactic they had developed after numerous encounters with Virgo Palace Master’s potent toxins. However, they were still unable to counter the black energy associated with Spirit-Eating Insects. Now that there were no Spirit-Eating Insects aiding him, everything felt different.
In past battles, their combined efforts had only resulted in a stalemate against Virgo Palace Master. But now they sensed an advantage; although they did not understand why he had lost that strange black mist, they recognized it as a significant opportunity—a chance to eliminate him.
At this moment, Virgo Palace Master understood their intentions as well; all three were seasoned fighters. He knew what Wind and Thunder Envoys were plotting against him. Yet facing these two old adversaries left him with no choice but to stand his ground. This base belonged to him; within its confines, no one could match these two veterans. If he retreated now, they might destroy everything here. Though this base held little value, many things remained unclaimed—most importantly, he could not afford to lose Xiao Yefeng.
While each of them harbored their own thoughts, in a shadowy thicket nearby appeared two figures clad in native leather garments—a man and a woman. Observing the flickering lightning above and feeling the rustling of leaves in the wind, they exchanged glances before stealthily approaching the center of battle. If anyone noticed them, they would see that both were enveloped in elemental energy.
The duo—one golden and one crimson—darted through various concealed positions like racing motorcycles on a track, clearly aiming for the Underground Base.
Returning to the conflict between Wind and Thunder Envoys and Virgo Palace Master: wielding his lightning blade, Thunder Envoy Zoru engaged in fierce combat with Virgo Palace Master who held his longsword firmly. They exchanged blows for over ten rounds; it was evident that Zoru was at a disadvantage compared to Virgo Palace Master’s strength. However, he leveraged his positional advantage with intermittent strikes of lightning while Wind Envoy provided support from afar. Together they kept Virgo Palace Master on the defensive.
Most critically, what began as an entanglement had transformed into an attempt to kill him outright. This left Virgo Palace Master feeling quite distressed; his once invincible Rainbow Lizard poison was completely countered by Wind Envoy’s abilities. His own swordsmanship was suppressed by Zoru’s lightning blade staff; every clash of weapons brought him great suffering. In desperation, he found himself thinking once again about Xiao Yefeng.
If it weren't for his inexplicable burst of flames, these two old geezers wouldn't be so arrogant. After a series of battles and evasions, the three had already drawn the battlefield beyond the confines of the Underground Base. It wasn't that the meticulous Virgo Palace Master was being dragged away by the two; rather, Thunder Envoy was willing to sacrifice his own strength to force him back with lightning, while Wind Envoy provided support from the side.
At this moment, the Virgo Palace Master, fully transformed into his Beastification state, had shed his human appearance. Although the name Rainbow Lizard sounded beautiful, the reality after Beastification was quite ugly. His once slender neck now bore loose skin that had stretched out like a flower protecting his head. In this complete Beastification, his sharp teeth had elongated once more.
The saliva flowing from his tongue and sharp fangs was no longer colorless and transparent but a light purple venom. The reason he had to enter this full Beastification state was due to a long gash running from his back to his side. Although it was concealed by the scales from his Beastification, revealing no major wound, once he retracted this state, the injury would be deep enough to see bone.
This was why he had no choice but to move the battlefield away from the base. Just moments ago, Thunder Envoy had fought desperately to create an opening in Virgo Palace Master's swordsmanship. Wind Envoy then manipulated the wind element to strike him hard. If it weren't for Virgo Palace Master's awareness of the danger, that blow could have severed him in half. Even with precautions, he barely avoided a fatal injury while sprinting nearly a thousand meters, leaving behind this gash.
Thus, at this moment, Virgo Palace Master was in complete Beastification and severely injured, yet he still stood holding his sword. A swirl of purple mist surrounded him, slowly rotating and even aiding in healing his wounds. But what about Wind and Thunder Envoys? After Thunder Envoy's desperate gamble for an opening, he was not unscathed. His white fur clothing was now stained red with blood from a twenty-centimeter-long gash on the right side of his neck. Though it no longer bled due to constant stimulation from arcs of energy, it remained painfully raw.
From the starting point of the wound, moving just an inch further would be fatal. Similarly, Wind Envoy wasn't in much better shape; although uninjured, that last strike had drained over seventy percent of his Elemental Power. He could only rely on his staff wrapped in fur to stand upright and maintain a gentle breeze around them to dispel toxins. At this moment, Wind Envoy's face had turned pale.
The battle among the three entered a brief stagnation period, primarily because Thunder Envoy's Elemental Power was nearly depleted as well. Compared to Wind Envoy's recent devastating wind blade attack, Thunder Envoy's exhaustion was even more pronounced. The constant presence of Thunderclouds overhead drained his Elemental Power continuously; each bolt of lightning made him turn pale. If not for his naturally dark complexion, one could easily see that he looked even paler than Wind Envoy.
"Are you two really willing to perish together with me? You should know that when Capricorn's palace master arrives, neither of you will escape!" Taking advantage of this rare moment of respite, Virgo Palace Master worked hard to gather strength and recover from the energy expended during Gene Beast Transformation while stating a fact.
Upon hearing this, Wind and Thunder Envoys frowned but had their own plans. Indeed, they had initially intended to inflict serious injuries on Virgo Palace Master to bring him down; however, with Virgo Palace Master's displayed strength and the powerful recovery abilities of Rainbow Lizard Gene, their plan failed. Thus, they abandoned their attempt to kill him and chose instead to continue with their original plan.
That plan was to delay until the other two could rescue Xiao Yefeng!
Indeed, whether it was Wind Envoy or Thunder Envoy, their willingness to expose themselves in challenging Virgo Palace Master wasn't truly about life or death but rather a request to rescue Xiao Yefeng from danger. The requester was none other than Elder Xiao Sifei. After Xiao Yefeng sent Sophia back home, she informed Xiao Sifei about everything that transpired. Using her blood for divination, Xiao Sifei foresaw that Xiao Yefeng would face great peril and thus summoned the reclusive Wind and Thunder Envoys along with another individual to form this rescue team.
While Wind and Thunder Envoys delayed directly in front of Virgo Palace Master, Sophia and another person were responsible for the actual rescue operation. These two were none other than those who had been approaching the base earlier; within the red elemental sphere was Sophia wielding a metallic spear, while within the golden elemental sphere was the individual who had instigated the conflict between Tiger Shark Team and Virgo Squad by shooting one person with an arrow.
At that moment, Sophia and the other person had reached the entrance of the base. Just as they were about to enter, Chris, who had sensed the thunderous sounds outside fading away, commanded her subordinates to resume their guard. Confident in the strength of the Palace Master, Chris had imprisoned Tiger Shark and then returned to the entrance, eager to welcome the Palace Master back after defeating an old rival.
However, as Chris stepped out of the base and caught sight of the large crater left by the lightning strike, she gasped in shock. She had spotted the scales left behind by the Virgo Palace Master. Her scream drew the attention of the two guards at the entrance. They approached the crater to investigate what had caused their captain's outburst. In that instant, however, two seasoned veterans on the brink of death sensed an ominous presence.
Reacting instantly, they turned with their guns drawn. But before they could fully pivot, two arrows whizzed through the air and pierced their necks. Thud! The two men fell stiffly to the ground behind Chris. In a cruel twist of fate, one of them extended his arm as he collapsed, and his lifeless hand struck Chris's curvaceous backside.
