450: Chapter 94 Annihilating the Six Thieves

Just as Huang Dan was inwardly fuming over his killing move being blocked by Meng Li's protective Magical Artifact, Meng Li casually intercepted one of the several falling projectiles. With a slight flick of his wrist, the projectile shot towards Huang Dan, aiming straight for his throat.

Huang Dan's eyes narrowed. Relying on his astonishing eyesight and experience, he instantly predicted the projectile's trajectory and swiftly dodged.

Sure enough, as usual, he successfully evaded the projectile.

However, just as Huang Dan prepared to counterattack, a flash of cold light made him feel a sharp pain in his throat.

How... how is this possible?!

Clutching his throat, Huang Dan's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Because he had clearly seen that the projectile he dodged had actually curved around and appeared from a direction impossible for conventional projectile techniques, slicing his neck.

This sudden reversal greatly surprised the remaining five thieves and Ding Shanan.

Feng Zheng Hao, Zhang Chulan, and the others also couldn't quite understand what had happened.

Only Lu Jin narrowed his eyes, his heart filled with shock and doubt.

He felt the projectile's physics-defying change was eerily similar to Object Manipulation, but he dismissed the thought almost instantly.

After all, that projectile belonged to Huang Dan, not Meng Li's Magical Artifact.

Meng Li had merely intercepted it and thrown it. The time was far too short to possibly complete the process of Object Manipulation and transformation.

Then how was it done?!

At that moment, an extremely unpleasant voice drilled into Meng Li's ears, making him frown involuntarily.

The voice was difficult to describe precisely. If one had to put it into words, it was grating, the kind that easily provoked anger upon hearing it.

Meng Li swept a glance and noticed one of the five thieves had his lips slightly parting and closing. The sound wasn't spreading for others to hear; he was likely using a technique like 'sound transmission into secrecy'.

Sound, provoking anger.

Combining the two points, Meng Li instantly understood. That person was 'Anger of Hearing', one of the Six Thieves.

As Meng Li noticed Anger of Hearing, Shou Shuai, the 'Worry of the Body' among the Six Thieves, waved a hand towards him.

Instantly, Meng Li felt an invisible force settle upon him. The spark of anger ignited by Anger of Hearing flared up drastically, and he keenly sensed the recovery speed of the Qi within his body slow by a fraction.

Worry of the Body. Its ability is to amplify the afflictions on a target?

Simultaneously, the remaining two of the Six Thieves, 'Thought of Tasting' and 'Desire of Views', also made their move together.

Thought of Tasting, stimulating a person's appetite.

Desire of Views, inciting the obsessions and desires within a person's heart.

As their abilities activated, Meng Li subconsciously licked his lips with his tongue.

The life force of everyone present was very vigorous, their auras somewhat alluring.

He felt a bit of a craving. He wanted to eat.

Then, Meng Li looked towards Xia He and Chen Duo.

The pink-haired vixen... he wanted to ravage her fiercely, to hear her coo 'Master' in a delicate voice, to call out 'Dada' with a sob.

Chen Duo, the unresolved regret from his first life. He wanted to protect her even more now.

As these thoughts arose, Meng Li couldn't help but become distracted.

Anger of Hearing, Thought of Tasting, and the other four thieves sensed this and immediately seized the opportunity to charge at Meng Li.

Seeing this, Zhang Chulan couldn't help but say, 'What are these guys thinking? Brother Meng has a protective Magical Artifact. Charging in is useless, right?'

Wang Zhenqiu said, 'That's not necessarily true.'

Then, he explained, 'If I remember correctly, the Qi of Thought of Tasting among the Six Thieves is very special. Like stomach acid, it's corrosive and remarkably effective at breaking through protective magical barriers. For example, your Golden Light Mantra probably wouldn't hold up against him.'

'And Love of Smelling, that guy is a pharmacist. He likely makes his Qi carry special properties, much like people from the Tang Clan.'

'Is that so?' Zhang Chulan understood, then muttered, 'Then isn't Brother Meng in danger?'

After speaking, he glanced left and right, noticing Xu Si, Feng Baobao, and even Xia He and Chen Duo, who were with Meng Li, all had calm expressions, showing not a trace of worry.

Zhang Chulan couldn't help but feel puzzled. 'Fourth Brother, aren't you worried about Brother Meng?'

Xu Si curled his lip. 'What's there to worry about? The abilities of the Six Thieves do have their unique aspects, but strictly speaking, they're all unorthodox methods. And when it comes to unorthodox techniques, Tu Junfang, who was just severely injured by Meng Li with a single slap, has abilities far more sinister than these six guys.'

'Even Tu Junfang's abilities couldn't affect Meng Li, so these guys are even less of a concern.'

'Moreover, Meng Li hasn't gotten serious yet.'

'The ones who should be worried are these five reckless fools.'

At that moment, the outcome on Meng Li's side was decided.

As Anger of Hearing, Thought of Tasting, and the other four thieves suddenly closed in on Meng Li, Anger of Hearing, Desire of Views, and Worry of the Body deliberately slowed their movements by a beat. Thought of Tasting and Love of Smelling, with Qi clusters covering their hands, struck first towards Meng Li's face.

Clearly, the latter two indeed had the ability to break through the protection of the protective Magical Artifact.

Almost instantly, a light shone from Meng Li's body, but it wasn't the previous protective blue light of the artifact. It was a silvery-white electrical light.

Bad! It's a trap!

The hearts of Anger of Hearing, Thought of Tasting, and the other three lurched. They inwardly cursed, realizing they were in trouble, and hastily retreated, but it was already too late.

Five streaks of silvery-white electrical light flew out from within Meng Li's body. Like hunting spirit snakes, they swiftly and accurately struck the five of them.

The five thieves immediately convulsed all over. Illuminated by the silvery-white electrical light, the outlines of their skeletons became faintly visible.

By the time the electrical light dissipated, the five had fallen to the ground, turned into charred, blackened corpses.

Seeing Meng Li use lightning to electrocute the five thieves to death, Wang Zhenqiu swallowed hard, turned to look at Zhang Chulan, and asked in surprise, 'Is he also from Longhu Mountain?'

Zhang Chulan shook his head and replied, 'Brother Meng's lightning is an Innate ability, not the Thunder Arts of the Celestial Masters Residence.'

After speaking, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

His Yang Five Thunders could also strike people, but it couldn't directly kill someone.

Yet Meng Li could kill five at once, all of them well-known practitioners, and he didn't even seem to exert much effort.

The gap was not ordinary at all!

After the five thieves died, Meng Li flicked his finger. A silvery-white orb condensed from electrical light flew out, landing on Tu Junfang's body and exploding.

The Corpse Demon, deceased!

Then, Meng Li turned his gaze towards Ding Shanan, who hadn't made a move the entire time.

Meeting his gaze, Ding Shanan clasped his fists and said, 'Ding Shanan of the Quan Xing.'

This was choosing the first option Meng Li had mentioned earlier: stop at the appropriate point.

'Meng Li, a wanderer.'

Meng Li responded, then flicked his finger. Another silvery-white orb condensed from electrical light shot towards Ding Shanan.

Ding Shanan's eyes narrowed. Not daring to underestimate it, he hastily dodged.

Just moments ago, Tu Junfang had been electrocuted to death by one of these orbs, though he was already severely injured at the time. But the example of the five thieves was right before him.

They had verified the terror of Meng Li's electrical light with their lives.

Even though Ding Shanan was stronger than them, he didn't want to be struck by the electrical light either.

But as soon as he dodged, he found the silvery-white orb closely pursuing him. Clearly, it had tracking capabilities or could be remotely controlled.

Seeing this, Ding Shanan said nothing more. He plunged into the ground, burrowing into the earth.

Earth Traveling Immortal!

The silvery-white orb didn't brake. It crashed into the ground and exploded, blasting out a large crater, but Ding Shanan was nowhere to be seen.

Just as everyone was astonished, a pair of hands reached out from beneath Meng Li's feet...
