Chapter 672 The Black Hand Taoist
Chapter 672 The Black Hand Taoist
How should I describe the person in front of me?
Human? Monster? Or perhaps a combination of both...?
When he lifted his robes and fully revealed his body, even the pumpkin monster, who was already a monster, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
As mentioned before, this guy has a human-like appearance. He has a head, body, limbs, and all the features that humans have, but his overall appearance is somewhat different from that of a human.
His skin was black, with a grayish-white patch on his chest. His height wasn't particularly monstrous, only about two meters.
His physique is somewhere between robust and gaunt; his body and arms show very obvious muscles, but overall he appears somewhat thin and frail.
He wasn't wearing many clothes; his lower body was only covered by a cloth skirt, while his upper body was completely naked, with a silver ring-shaped ornament hanging on his chest.
There's not much to say about its appearance; sharp teeth and a monstrous look that's frightening to behold.
However, the most unique feature of him is the limbs that extend from his back.
These limbs are arthropod-like, growing out from his back to form dark bone-colored arms. There are six arms in three pairs from top to bottom, which look like spider legs, adding to his strange appearance.
This strange-looking fellow was a demon general whom Lin Tian had recently sent here to command; his name was:
Black Hand Taoist!
As its name suggests, the Black Hand Taoist is most famous for his hands. Apart from his two thick hands, his six segmented bone hands are what make him special.
Although the bone hand is not black as its name suggests, its function is by no means insignificant.
Just like just now, when the Black Hand Taoist was forced to make a choice and was struck in the abdomen by a sharp knife, it was one of his bone hands that stopped the deadly knife, which, in a sense, changed the course of the battle.
Of course, this bone hand isn't limited to just that...
"Looks like I need to get serious..."
Watching the pumpkin monster disappear into the mist again, preparing to assassinate him stealthily, the Black Hand Taoist raised an eyebrow, his eyes becoming more serious.
The next second, the misty wind behind him suddenly blew, and a terrifying pumpkin head, carrying his white mist scythe, slashed fiercely at the Black Hand Taoist!
call! ! ! !
Uh-huh! ! ! ! !
The mist scythe whipped up a sharp gust of wind, looking quite terrifying. Powered by the white mist, the scythe possessed even greater speed and damage. In this state, relying on stealth and ambush, it was entirely possible to...
boom! ! ! !
Faced with this sudden attack, before the Black Hand Taoist could react, the bone hand on his back moved automatically and made a defensive move in less than a second.
With a sudden clamping motion, the two bone hands gently stopped the scythe in mid-air. No matter how hard the pumpkin monster tried, it could not break through the bone hands' defense.
The Black Hand Taoist doesn't have osteoporosis. Don't be fooled by the small size of this bone hand; in terms of hardness, it's no less than the twin swords in the Black Hand Taoist's hands. It's a pipe dream for the Pumpkin Monster to think he can tear this bone hand apart with just his scythe.
Seeing that his first attack had failed, the pumpkin monster quickly retreated and began to disappear back into the fog to launch another attack.
In that instant, the Black Hand Taoist could clearly feel that the surrounding white mist had suddenly thinned out.
The next moment...
Swish swish swish swish!!!
Four whooshing sounds rang out, and four consecutive slashes were launched at the same time.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the surrounding white mist had transformed into the shape of a pumpkin monster, forming a total of four figures that surrounded the Black Hand Taoist from the front, back, left, and right.
Clearly, the Pumpkin Monster's move is quite unique, launching attacks from four positions, making it virtually impossible to defend against.
but.....
Bang bang bang bang! ! ! !
With four crisp sounds, the four scythes that were meant to tear apart the Black Hand Taoist were now suspended in mid-air.
Defend against everything!!!
Upon seeing this, even the extremely confident Pumpkin Monster couldn't help but show a look of fear in his eyes.
Keep in mind that this was an attack launched simultaneously from four directions without any prior notice. This was the first time he had used this move in this battle, so it was completely unexpected.
Even under these circumstances, his attack was still blocked, which made the Pumpkin Monster wonder if the fog was too thick and he was seeing things.
However, when he actually felt the resistance coming from the scythe, the pumpkin monster suddenly realized that he had not seen wrong and that the opponent had indeed blocked his simultaneous attacks from four directions.
But how exactly was this done? It can't be, can it?
"Of course it's possible..."
Whether it was because he foresaw what the Pumpkin Monster was thinking or not, the Black Hand Taoist suddenly revealed a mocking and sarcastic expression.
Predicting and defending against attacks from four directions simultaneously without any prior warning is something that might be difficult for others, but it is not a difficult task for the Black Hand Taoist.
At this point, we need to explain the special features of his bony hands. Although these arthropod-like bony hands extend from his back, in fact, each of them is an independent individual.
This doesn't mean they are real living beings or have independent thought, but rather that they can react autonomously without the control of the Black Hand Taoist.
Bone Hand and Black Hand Taoist share perception, which means that as long as Black Hand makes someone sense danger, even if they don't react in time, even if the attacker is in their blind spot, Bone Hand can still help them defend themselves.
The insect demon's sensory abilities are exceptional, even among other demons. This extraordinary perception, combined with its bone hands that provide impenetrable defense, means...
hateful! ! !
Seeing the mocking look in the Black Hand Taoist's eyes, the Pumpkin Monster was also extremely angry. In his anger, he was unwilling to let it go. Therefore, with the surrounding white mist trembling violently, the Pumpkin Monster once again unleashed an even stronger series of slashes.
Swish swish swish swish swish!!!
He swung the long scythe incessantly, unleashing a barrage of tricky, unexpected, and swift attacks, seemingly intent on dismembering the Black Hand Taoist on the spot.
However, no matter how the Pumpkin Man slashed, no matter what angle he attacked from, all the scythes he swung were blocked by the Black Hand Taoist's bone hands.
For a moment, the Pumpkin Monster could only feel quite powerless. He felt like he was trying to crack open a turtle shell, no matter what he did.
To reiterate, with his automatically defensive bone hands and exceptional senses, the Black Hand Taoist is currently...
Absolute defense!!!
