Chapter 135:? ?, Damn it!
Although she was momentarily surprised, it didn’t impact her…
Zuo Min’s gaze narrowed, and with a swing of her sword, the surrounding centipede instantly grew spikes all over its body. It then leaped from her body, heading towards Ye Anping. She had to admit that this boy with the Holy Emperor’s blood was quite formidable.
But their cultivation level differences couldn’t be compensated for by mere clever tricks.
Zuo Min knew she couldn’t push Ye Anping into a corner. She might be defeated if he forcibly summoned the Holy Emperor Dragon Body. Being a demon cultivator, she had numerous ways to immobilize him without causing severe harm. Seeing the Gu centipede with its stag armor charging towards him, Ye Anping had to hold the spirit sword horizontally, using his left hand to support the sword face, and shifting his right foot backward.
Boom—
The giant centipede collided with the sword. Despite Ye Anping using all his strength to control his steps, he was still pushed, sliding rapidly backward.
In response, Zuo Min smirked, raising her finger again. The centipede’s mouthparts opened, spraying a blood-colored mist, enveloping Ye Anping.
The centipede’s abdomen contained five types of poison, ranging from a potent venom that could corrode bones to a milder one that only paralyzed limbs and hindered the flow of spiritual energy in meridians.
The blood-colored mist belonged to the latter category. These poisons weren’t much of a threat to a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, let alone to someone in the Foundation Establishment stage like him.
“One!”
Zuo Min sneered, suddenly noticing a streak of ice-blue sword light approaching. She turned her compound eyes towards Pei Lianxue on the other side, then waved her hand. Silver mist poured from her sleeves, transforming into a wall made of insects, blocking herself and Pei Lianxue.
This poison was known as the Spirit Devouring Poison.
Zuo Min had already anticipated what would happen next. As the girl’s sword touched the insect wall, the Spirit Devouring Poison would attach to her sword, rapidly spreading and consuming her entire being. The girl would be reduced to a pile of bones in less than three breaths.
However…
Swish—
The sound of the sword-piercing flesh echoed. Zuo Min couldn’t help but raise her head and chest. A spiritual sword penetrated from behind her, passing through the gap between her plump breasts.
Simultaneously, behind the wall constructed by the Spirit Devouring Poison, an ice-blue glow flickered. The mist-like bugs, originally silver-white, were now covered in frost, forming a blue-amber ice structure. Then, several sword lights flashed, shattering the blue ice wall.
“Cough—”
Zuo Min looked down at the spiritual sword in her chest, then hurriedly reached towards her Centipede a little further away. But as soon as she raised her hand, Pei Lianxue’s spiritual sword grazed her right arm. At the same time, the sword on her chest moved back.
Brush—
Standing behind Zuo Min, Ye Anping withdrew his spiritual sword. He then turned, swinging it towards Zuo Min’s left neck. At the same time, Pei Lianxue in front of her raised her spiritual sword, slashing towards her right neck.
The two spiritual swords crossed each other, one on the left and the other on the right, colliding in the center of her neck.
Ding—
As a spark flew, Zuo Min’s head rose into the air.
Upon seeing this, Ye Anping quickly retrieved a stack of fire talismans from his storage bag and threw them on her back.
“Run!!”
“Um!”
Without saying a word, the two turned around and sprinted towards the outside of the square.
Observing their escape, the head of Zuo Min flying in the sky showed an expression of disbelief.
Did they just run without confirming if I’m alive or dead after chopping off my head?
How did they know I was preparing to self-destruct?!
And!! Why is that boy still able to move after being poisoned by me?!
She wanted to question the boy, but the head flying into the sky now had no vocal cords, and the vocal cords were still underneath.
Zuo Min had initially thought of exploding her body, seriously injuring the two, and then letting the worms take her soul to invade the girl’s body and hide, but…
Ran?!
Just like that, they ran?!
Why are you running?!
What are you running for?! Didn’t you chop off my head?!
Why run?! Don’t run!! Ahhhhh!!!
…
Ye Anping, with Pei Lianxue, ran madly as if he could hear Zuo Min behind them, futilely yelling for them not to run in an incompetent and furious manner. In the game’s dungeon, when Zuo Min’s health dropped to 5%, she would self-destruct in full screen, attaching a “Debuff” to all players in the scene, reducing their health to “1” within ten minutes.
Initially, the Chilong Mansion dungeon had a time limit. If all bosses weren’t defeated within an hour and a half, the group would be wiped, with an additional ten-minute delay. He wondered what the game’s dungeon planners were thinking.
In the end, running faster was the solution. However, just as they had run out of the square, two figures with straw hats suddenly jumped out from the side.
A man and a woman, the woman with bright blond hair.
Seeing Yun Xi, Ye Anping took a sharp breath and shouted, “Junior sister, hug that girl!”
Pei Lianxue hesitated momentarily, not thinking too much, and rushed forward. She leaned over, placing her shoulder against Yun Xi’s belly.
“Vomit—”
Then, he stood up slightly, put Yun Xi on his shoulders, and continued to run forward with her.
Ye Anping, like her, leaned over and bumped the man following Yun Xi in the stomach with his shoulder, hoisted him onto his shoulders, and continued running wildly.
“Put me down!! What do you want to do?!”
Yun Xi waved her hands and feet, struggling on Pei Lianxue’s shoulders.
Ye Anping immediately glared at her, “Do not move!!”
“Ah…”
This glance made Yun Xi stop her random hand-waving. It was at this moment…
Boom—
A red light soared into the sky from the previous square. Accompanied by a vibration resembling an earth dragon’s movement, a blood-red aura exploded.
Ye Anping looked back and felt there might need more time to run with the people. He ordered, “Junior sister! Throw it away!!”
The next moment, he and Pei Lianxue, without thinking, threw the two from their shoulders to the ground and continued running forward on their own.
Yun Xi, now on the ground, sat up and, seeing the blood-red spiritual energy approaching, immediately exclaimed in surprise:
“Fuck!!”
Her junior brother, wearing a horrified expression, shouted loudly, “Ahhhh–young lady, protect your body quickly, quickly, quickly!!”
“Ah…”
Yun Xi, somewhat stunned, formed sword fingers in front of her chest, creating a golden spirit shield in front of her. She turned to look at Ye Anping and Pei Lianxue, who had already rushed a hundred feet away without grinding her teeth.
“Just wait until I see you again, and I’ll…”
Before she could finish her sentence, the spiritual energy collided with her spirit shield.
Boom—
The spirit shield barely held for a breath before shattering and dissipating. Yun Xi and her junior brother were instantly blown away, creating two white parabolic trajectories in the sky, following the footsteps of Ye Anping and Pei Lianxue.
Ye Anping, calculating that they had run about two miles from the square, stopped and turned around to protect with his spirit.
“Junior sister, stop! Protect your body!”
“Um…”
…
