Chapter 28: Excellent Teammates

Upon hearing the skinny one's shout, the burly man immediately let go of Li Pai and charged towards Snow White.

The evil spirit that the skinny demon hunters were the target that all nearby demon hunters were eager to find!

Whilst many demon hunters spent months and even years searching for the evil spirit whereabout to no avail, they had actually encountered it in a single night!

Their luck was truly extraordinary!

In comparison, this seemingly ordinary spirit that he was in combat with previously had no rewards placed at him all. The burly man didn't even want to bother with him.

"Damn it..."

Upon seeing the burly demon hunter charging at her while holding the flaming sword tight in his hand, Snow White's expression instantly turned serious.

If it were yesterday, even when her power was restricted, Snow White could have easily taken down these two weaklings.

But now, just dealing with one of them was already quite a headache, and when she face two of them at the same time, she might not be able to hold up.

"Can't you be of some use!"

While parrying an attack from the skinny demon hunter while dodging the flaming swords of the burly guy,, Snow White shouted impatiently at Li Pai.

"Well..."

Hearing her shout, Li Pai sighed.

It wasn't that he didn't want to help her; he simply had no idea how to do so in the first place!

Without a beginner's guide or tutorial to help him, he was thrown straight into combat. How was he supposed to handle this?

However, Li Pai couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

His mission this time was to help Princess Snow White lift the curse that had been placed on her. If Princess Snow White was defeated, the mission would fail outright.

Gritting his teeth, Li Pai rushed towards the burly demon hunter.

Although he couldn't attack the mean, it didn't mean Li Pai couldn't be of assistance.

As he was about to reach behind the burly man, Li Pai lunged forward!

He pounced directly onto the burly man!

"While my attacks might be ineffective, but..."

"Guess who I am!"

Li Pai smiled and stretched out his hands to cover the burly man's eyes.

Although Li Pai didn't have a physical presence and looked somewhat ethereal, he could still block vision.

Burly Man:...

He can't see anything!

The burly man's momentum was strong, and the flaming sword was halfway through its swing when suddenly his vision was lost.

Seeing this, Snow White decisively took action. She used her long hair to entangle the skinny demon hunter's ankle and pulled forward!

"Not good!"

The skinny demon hunter instantly felt alarmed!

While the attacking power of this evil spirit's long hair wasn't impressive, he wasn't prepared for the sudden pull.

Due to the abrupt movement, the skinny demon hunter ended up performing a split on the spot.

"Hiss—"

The skinny demon hunter inhaled sharply.

His pants had torn open due to the split, and a certain area had also been grazed.

But that wasn't the important issue.

Because a flaming sword was swooping down towards his face.

"Stop! Stop, please!"

The skinny demon hunter's face was filled with fear, and the soil under his pants was dampened.

Due to the split and the pull, he couldn't move in time to dodge.

In his current state, all the skinny demon hunter hoped for was that his teammate would stop in time.

But...

His teammate couldn't hear a word of what he was saying.

Because Li Pai was loudly delivering friendly greetings into the burly demon hunter's ear.

This greatly agitated the burly man, causing his hacking and slashing to become even more forceful.

The despair in the skinny demon hunter's eyes was evident.

Dying like this was just too damn absurd!

"Spurt!"

The flaming sword struck the skinny demon hunter's head, burying halfway in.

The flames on the sword were still burning, crackling as they set the skinny demon hunter's hair ablaze.

"I hit something! I hit it!"

"Bobby, did I take care of that evil spirit?"

The burly man felt the feedback from the sword and shouted excitedly.

With his powerful strike, that evil spirit would be either dead or crippled.

The thought of the reward about to be obtained made the burly man's excitement evident on his face.

"Bobby? Bobby?"

The burly man called out to his teammate, wanting to share his joy.

Unfortunately, he was unaware that poor Bobby had already turned into mincemeat due to his own attack

Seeing Bobby's lack of response, the burly man sensed something was wrong.

Gritting his teeth, he forcefully pulled his sword out, took a few steps back, and swung his sword cautiously.

"Why aren't you attacking? What are you staring at!"

Li Pai shouted at Snow White.

Snow White seemed taken aback by how easily they dealt with one of the demon hunters, hesitating momentarily.

Reminded by Li Pai's shout, she snapped back to attention, controlling her black long hair to strike at the burly man.

"Snap!"

The black long hair lashed across the burly man's face, leaving a red mark.

Both Li Pai and the burly man were stunned.

"Is that it?"

"Where's the energy you had yesterday? What happened to it?"

Li Pai grew anxious.

He wanted Snow White to quickly finish off the burly man, not humiliate him!

"You think I don't want to!"

"If you hadn't treated me like that last night, would I be so weakened?"

Snow White's black long hair swirled as her killing intent intensified.

Listening to the conversation between the two, the burly man seemed to realize what had just happened.

Bobby...

He had just struck Bobby!

The burly man's face turned pale in an instant.

Bobby was dead!

Now he had to face these two evil... one evil spirit and one ordinary spirit, alone!

Though this ordinary spirit might not have much power, he was annoying!

Not only did he cover the burly man's eyes, but he was also babbling in his ear.

The burly man, who had been grumbling just moments ago, had become even more audacious, narrating explicit scenes. His words were drawing Li Pai's attention involuntarily, making him want to keep listening, causing his focus to drift.

The burly man knew that if this continued, he would certainly follow in Bobby's footsteps.

Damn it! He had prepared so many things to deal with evil spirits. How could he have forgotten about dealing with an ordinary spirit...

Even a cheap soul-trapping device or a crystal ball would have sufficed!

The burly man swung his sword haphazardly, randomly choosing a direction to flee.

But before he had gone far, he collided head-on with a tree that was as thick as a water bucket.

Dizzy and disoriented, the burly man tried to stand up several times in a row, but failed each time.

At this moment, Snow White's long hair arrived.

"Snap! Snap! Snap!"

Her long hair whipped like small leather whips, striking the burly man repeatedly.

"Is whipping attack all you know? Is this how you're going to beat someone to death?"

Seeing the miserable scene, Li Pai sighed helplessly.

Turns out, this princess could be quite dim-witted.

"This is the only thing I can do with the little power I have, if you think you can do better than I did, do it yourself!"

Snow White snorted coldly, turning her head away.

Even as a vengeful spirit, she still had a bit of the attitude that some princesses tend to have due to her past.

Before meeting him and getting weakened due to the combined action of him and Elora, her hair could cut through metal like butter, and she was able to control each strand of her hair skillfully.

Now that her power had suddenly diminished, it was understandable that she couldn't find effective attack methods.

This annoying guy was actually blaming her...

"Snow White's Favorability: D → E"

Li Pai: ???

They fall out over a few words?

She's really quite emotional...

Staying with a princess like her, one day he might end up being exasperated to death.

He should just complete the mission quickly and go back to find his Elora.

After everything that she went through, that mature girl needed some love.

"Your hair is so agile, are you only capable of using brute force? Have you ever tried to dive deep into his skull through his nostril or ear and mess up his inside? Unless they have regeneration, doing that would be enough to take down most people.”

Li Pai reminded her.

Upon hearing this, Snow White's eyes lit up!

Right!

Why didn't she think of that!

Before, when her power was so strong, she hadn't really considered such technical attack methods.

Snow White immediately controlled her long hair, lunging at the burly man's head.

Her hair moved like serpents, worms, and ants, wriggling over the burly man's face and crawling into his nostrils, ears, mouth, and other openings.

The burly man felt the fear of death, wildly swinging his sword.

Unfortunately, although Snow White's hair wasn't strong, she had plenty of it.

Even if some strands were cut off, more would keep coming.

Soon, these strands of hair were steadily infiltrating the openings in his face...
