Chapter 385 - Xiao Tian: She Bullied Me!! Woooo—
A large area of the forest was devastated by the fight between the golden dragon and the black python. The dragon\'s roar resounded through the peaks for hundreds of miles, shaking even the sky with strange deep purple lightning.
In a deserted snowy forest a little further away, two strange little figures were fighting a desperate battle that no one else could see.
"Ah--!"
"Ouch!"
Pfff---
At this moment, Xiao Tian, who had a bruised nose, a swollen face, and a huge palm print on her left cheek, was beaten up by Xue\'e.
Xue\'e\'s small fists landed on Xiao Tian\'s face one after another, shaking her whole face like jelly, bouncing back and forth.
And while beating Xiao Tian, she scolded her. "Do you have something in that skull?!"
"Ouch! Ouch! It hurts!! Ouch--"
Xiao Tian opened her mouth and bit Xue\'e\'s hand, leaving another row of teeth marks on her arm. Xue\'e\'s eyes twitched non-stop, and she punched Xiao Tian in the face in return.
"You! Let go!!"
"Ah---!"
A front tooth flew out of Xiao Tian\'s mouth before turning into a golden light in mid-air. Xiao Tian sniffed and raised her hand to grab Xue\'e\'s black hair.
Slap---
A slap, crisp and loud, made Xue\'e\'s head turn to the right suddenly.
"..."
Another vein popped out on Xue\'e\'s forehead, and she glared at Xiao Tian, who was underneath her. She punched her in the face and grabbed her hair.
"Are you sick?! What\'s the point of fighting me?!"
"Wuuuuu-- Waaaaaaah---"
Looking at Xiao Tian\'s swollen toad-like face, which was purple, green, and red, Xue\'e took a deep breath, then punched her in the face again.
"Ouch-- it hurts!!"
"Do you know it hurts now?"
"Woooo---"
Xue\'e punched again. "You bite me, eh?"
"Woo-wah--!"
Puff!
Another punch. "Grab my hair, huh?"
"Woo woo... sob---"
Xiao Tian sniffled, tears welling up in her puffy eyes. She looked at Xue\'e who was riding on her body and waved her small hands to block her fist.
Seeing her like this, Xue\'e was also a little tired. Her own small hands were hurting, so she stopped and questioned her. "Is there soy milk in your head? Why do you come to beat me up instead of going to help that silver-haired girl? Who of us can beat the other to death? We are artifact spirits!! Have you ever seen spirits fighting?"
Xiao Tian sniffed and looked at Xue\'e\'s face. "...Sniff---Wooo---! Anping!! She bullied me!!"
Anping?
When Xue\'e heard this, she looked at her as if she was an idiot, suspecting that this fellow had a screw loose in her head.
They were both Heavenly Scroll spirits, and only those who possessed the Heavenly Scrolls could see their forms, hear their voices, and know of their existence.
Even if that silver-haired girl told this Anping about the existence of the Heavenly Scroll, this dude Anping would definitely not hear her cry for help.
Xue\'e felt a little helpless and didn\'t want to pay attention to Xiao Tian anymore, so she relaxed a little and looked in the direction of Gu Mingxin.
However, she noticed that Gu Mingxin and the silver-haired girl had already moved to an unknown place during her fight with this golden bastard.
But since this golden fellow had not disappeared, it meant that Gu Mingxin had not killed that silver-haired girl yet.
"Tsk..."
At this time, Xiao Tian\'s tearful eyes suddenly flashed. Seeing that Xue\'e\'s attention was not on her, she seized this opportunity to switch positions and ride on top of her, punching her in the face!
"Ay..."
The little fist with a faint golden glow directly hit Xue\'e\'s cheek, making a dent in it.
"Humph! How dare you look around! Why did you hit me? Why did you hit me?!"
Punch after punch, Xue\'e\'s cheeks bounced back and forth like jelly.
At the third punch, Xue\'e reached her hands directly into Xiao Tian\'s mouth, grabbing the corners of her mouth and pulling it hard.
"You golden fool...ah---!"
Xiao Tian also grabbed Xue\'e\'s ears in retaliation.
"Wuu, my mouth is going to split open!! Let go!!!"
"Ouch! My ears are going to fall off! Hey! Let go!"
One gold and one black artifact spirits were rolling around in the air, pinching each other.
And behind a cedar tree, not far away.
Ye Anping had been following this scene for a long time with a dull expression on his face. He used his spiritual energy to digest the healing pills faster while watching the two brawl in midair.
He didn\'t even know what expression to put on right now.
Even though he had calculated everything, it had never crossed his mind that Xiao Tian and Xue\'e would fight...
And the way they fought...
Hair pulling, slapping, face scratching, ear pulling, biting...
"Hiss--"
"Wu--aaah---!"
"Yaaaa---!!"
"..."
Ye Anping pinched the bridge of his nose, and after hesitating for a while, he finally decided to walk out from behind the tree.
Swish-- swish--
The sound of crunching snow reached the ears of the two little ones.
The two, who were originally holding each other\'s faces in mid-air, paused slightly and turned their heads almost simultaneously, looking toward him.
Xue\'e\'s eyes revealed a trace of fear, but Xiao Tian seemed to have seen her savior. She quickly let go of Xue\'e\'s face and broke free from her hand. Turning in the air, she flew toward Ye Anping and grabbed his face.
"Woooaaa---! Anping!! She bullied me!!"
"..."
Ye Anping ignored her and pretended to look at the golden dragon and black python that were still shaking the place a little further away.
Xue\'e frowned. Wasn\'t this Liang Xiaoliu?
His real name was Anping?
This golden fellow was really stupid. She directly called his name. Moreover, she was the spirit of the Heavenly Dao Scroll, so how could he hear her?
"He can\'t hear you..."
"Hmph! Anping, help me teach this black ugly thing a lesson! Catch it, and Yu Die will..."
"Are you nuts? Whatever..."
Xue\'e frowned and flew to Ye Anping\'s storage bag. She wanted to poke her head in to see what kind of magical equipment he had and tell Mingxin later.
However, just as she flew to the storage bag on Ye Anping\'s waist and was about to probe in, she suddenly noticed that Ye Anping, who was originally looking at the golden dragon and black python in the distance, turned his cold deep purple eyes toward her.
"To be honest, she\'s quite silly."
?!!!!
Hearing this, Xue\'e suddenly got goosebumps on her back, and she looked up at Ye Anping\'s face in disbelief.
"You...you are the owner of the Heavenly Dao Scroll? But that silver-haired girl..."
"No comment."
Ye Anping spoke softly and turned his head to look at Xiao Tian, who was standing on his shoulder with her arms crossed arrogantly, but with a bruised face. "Xiao Tian, how is Sister Feng doing?"
"Ah..."
Hearing this, Xiao Tian came back to her senses and said with an anxious look, "Anping! Go help Yu Die, she can\'t hold on any longer! Hurry up... Yes! Over there!"
"Hmm..."
Ye Anping nodded slightly, and then with quick steps, he headed in the direction that Xiao Tian pointed out. However, after one step, a sharp pain came from his chest and abdomen, almost making him unable to stand.
Perhaps because of the pain-killing pills he had just taken, he couldn\'t estimate his injuries through pain until now.
But now, Ye Anping realized that Wu Tianci\'s two punches had probably injured him severely.
It seemed that most of his internal organs had been broken...
Although he was a Core Formation cultivator and his life would not be in danger, he was in no condition to interfere in the battle between Gu Mingxin and Feng Yu Die.
Xiao Tian saw Ye Anping suddenly stop and was a little confused. Turning, she noticed he had a nosebleed and her eyes widened in shock.
"Ah... Anping?! Are you hurt?"
"It\'s not life-threatening. I was too anxious to kill that Physical cultivator earlier."
After Xiao Tian heard this, she wanted to barge into Ye Anping\'s head to check his meridians, but Ye Anping quickly turned his head to avoid her.
"Don\'t look, don\'t tell me. People have a short period of numbness. As long as they don\'t see the wound, they won\'t feel pain. I know how to control it. Although the wound may be serious, it is not life-threatening."
"Ah... But..."
"We need to help Sister Feng now."
Ye Anping summoned the Snow Jade Spirit Sword from his storage bag, then jumped to the top of a cedar tree in front of him and looked toward the top of the mountain.
The black fog was like a dark cloud enveloping the mountaintop. Spiritual fire and thunder spells were constantly shining, accompanied by streaks of silver sword light that could break through the sky.
If one looked closely, what looked like a dark cloud at first glance, actually turned out to be poisonous insects that had condensed into a dark mass.
Sister and Yunluo might be in a tough fight at this moment. Although they were not eaten by Jiang Mojiao\'s poisonous insects, if it continued like this...
"Anping, over there..."
"I have a backup plan..."
Ye Anping motioned for her to relax. Then, he swept the surface of the Snow Jade Spirit Sword with his sword finger. He held the hilt in reverse as if it were a javelin, then pointed his left hand at the insect cloud created by Jiang Mojiao.
Finally, using spiritual energy, he amplified his voice. "Sister! Catch!!!"
With that, he threw the spirit sword with all his strength.
Boom---
A powerful wind and airwave were generated like an explosion.
The Snow Jade Spirit Sword instantly turned into an icy blue stream of light, heading toward the insect cloud on the summit and crushing everything in the forest along the way.
After launching the spirit sword, Ye Anping quickly took out a spare one, stepped on the flying sword, and headed toward Feng Yu Die and Gu Mingxin.
...
Ding---
The sharp teeth of the spider suddenly collided with the silver sword. Pei Lianxue gritted her teeth and released her strength with dexterity while twisting her body to quickly perform the ten sword lights move of the Leaf Shadow Sword technique.
Crack---
A sound like broken glass rang out.
The mouthparts of Jiang Mojiao\'s bottom half spider instantly shattered, releasing purple pus that spread everywhere.
Then came Jiang Mojiao\'s scream. "Ah... Ahhhhh!! You two punks!! Die!"
Jiang Mojiao\'s fly-like compound eyes reflected countless Pei Lianxue. Even though her clothes had already been torn and her arms and legs had countless cuts, the expression on her face remained calm.
"Lianxue!! Back off!!"
Xiao Yunluo\'s shout came from above, and Pei Lianxue immediately pulled back three feet. After that, needle-like ice spikes rained down on Jiang Mojiao in an overwhelming manner.
However, most of them were blocked by the parasites wrapped around Jiang Mojiao\'s body as the ice needles that landed on his body only penetrated two inches into his skin and could not hurt the roots of his Nascent Soul at all.
"Ahhhhh!! You bastards!! Die!"
Jiang Mojiao\'s attention was diverted toward Xiao Yunluo, and he controlled more insects to chase after her, but Pei Lianxue took the opportunity to get closer, using the Leaf Shadow Sword technique to swing ten sword lights again.
Swish---
The sound of flesh being pierced rang out as Jiang Mojiao\'s left wrist was cut open, but in the next moment, dozens of insects drilled through the cut of his wrist and condensed into a new black hand.
Seeing this scene, Pei Lianxue\'s expression remained calm, but she understood in her heart that this demonic cultivator was not something that she and Xiao Yunluo could deal with in a short period of time.
Working together with Xiao Yunluo, they had indeed chopped off Jiang Mojiao\'s countless hands, and even his head had been cut off.
However, it only took a moment for Jiang Mojiao to restore his body using parasites.
Pei Lianxue finally realized that she had thought too simply. In the past, when she followed her brother to kill demonic cultivators, each of them was finished in a few moves.
So, she also planned to kill Jiang Mojiao in a few moves.
However, the sudden appearance of Gu Mingxin kept Feng Yu Die occupied.
What\'s more, the Snow Jade Spirit Sword was in her brother\'s hands at this moment. Although Xiao Yunluo spent a lot of money to forge the sword in her hand, it could not compare to the Black Ice Spirit Sword that had once stood in the hands of Void Returning cultivators for thousands of years.
"Brother... what should I do..."
Pei Lianxue gritted her teeth as she brandished the spirit sword. She exerted her sword skills almost to the extreme, constantly cutting off parts of Jiang Mojiao\'s body.
But apart from a scream, he couldn\'t be hurt too much.
Should they retreat temporarily?
But... if she and Xiao Yunluo didn\'t hold Jiang Mojiao back and let him reunite with Gu Mingxin, Feng Yu Die would be in danger, not to mention the Snow Guards...
If the Snow Guards faced this sea of poisonous insects, they would be turned into egg beds in a moment and gnawed to the bones.
What to do?! Think of a solution quickly!!
What would brother say...
What did he teach her...
Pei Lianxue bit her lips as she pondered, and at this moment, Xiao Yun Luo\'s loud shout came from above.
"Lianxue, why don\'t we retreat and help the idiot first..."
"We can\'t!! If we leave, this sea of insects will follow us and we\'ll lead them to the second idiot. Then we will definitely lose."
Swish---
"But... if we keep fighting like this... Fire, activate!! Heh--"
Boom---
Flames exploded in the sky, illuminating the entire forest.
However, it was also at this moment that a loud voice came from afar, shaking the mountains for hundreds of miles.
---"Sister! Catch!!!"
Brother?!
A sky-shattering stream of light shot rapidly from the mountainside. Jiang Mojiao\'s compound eyes snapped in that direction and saw a black ice spirit sword fast approaching.
The thousands of parasites surrounding his body showed some fear, and since they were connected to Jiang Mojiao\'s soul, they transmitted it to him.
"Ah... Ahhhhh--!!"
The non-human face instantly turned deathly pale.
"You bunch of losers!! Stop it for me!! Stop that sword!! Stop it!!!"
Squeak---
Hiss---
However, the parasites that were originally protecting Jiang Mojiao were now frozen in place as if they had lost their insect mother and had no control.
"What are you all standing there for?! Stop them now!! You are all my insects!! Mine!!!"
Waving his hands and yelling like crazy, Jiang Mojiao watched the black ice sword approaching.
But at this moment, even the spider that was his lower body seemed to be mocking him.
Hiss---
(You are a waste.)
"Ahhhhh! Don\'t talk like Master! I am not a waste! I am not! My master is the one who died at the hands of a few tiny Qi Refining stage cultivators! He\'s the one!!!"
(Heh... You will never be my master...)
Swoosh---
The black ice sword broke through the thousands of insect pests, turning all the ones it touched into ice crystals that shattered.
Pei Lianxue looked at the stream of light, threw Xiao Yunluo\'s sword aside, and jumped up, grabbing the Snow Jade Spirit Sword in the air.
Her amber eyes narrowed slightly as they swept over Jiang Mojiao\'s body.
Several strands of ice blue silk fell through the air, transforming into countless afterimages and wrapping Jiang Mojiao\'s entire body like a turtle shell.
"Uh ah ah ah ah--!! I\'m not a loser!!! Ah ah ah--!!"
Then, it turned into countless pieces of meat and scattered, but the parasites no longer surrounded him to protect him like before. Instead, they fled in all directions.
Jiang Mojiao looked at the girl holding the Black Ice Spirit Sword and shouted. "Ahhhh---!"
Then, his Nascent Soul left his body.
"I want to live!! I want to live!! You bunch of losers ahhhhh!!"
"Don\'t even think about it!!"
Seeing his Nascent Soul trying to escape, Pei Lianxue quickly jumped and swung several sword lights, but just as it was about to fall on Jiang Mojiao\'s Nascent Soul, it exploded into countless pieces.
"What?"
"Hehehe!! Hehe..."
A taunting chuckle was heard, and Pei Lianxue immediately waved her sword, trying to wipe out the root of the problem. However, despite her best efforts, she only managed to cut Jiang Mojiao\'s Nascent Soul in half.
"Lianxue! Let me do it!"
Xiao Yunluo, in the air, hurriedly drew several talismans with her fingers, but she was still unable to destroy Jiang Mojiao\'s Nascent Soul, which had been broken into countless small pieces.
Seeing Jiang Mojiao\'s Nascent Soul rushing toward Feng Yu Die, Pei Lianxue\'s eyes widened and she shouted.
"Yunluo!! Pick me up! Let\'s go find the second idiot!! He went there!"
Xiao Yunluo immediately used a lightning spell to disperse the countless parasites surrounding Pei Lianxue. She then flew down on her sword and grabbed her shoulder, then quickly left the sea of insects to chase after Jiang Mojiao\'s Nascent Soul.
But just as the two of them rushed out of the black sea of poisonous insects, the poisonous insects behind them began to chirp in unison. Hiss-hiss-hiss--
Xiao Yunluo and Pei Lianxue turned their heads to look and couldn\'t believe it.
Amidst the erratic chirping of insects, the two could hear the meaning of "thank you."
"Lianxue... I heard these bugs..."
"Yeah... Me too. Well, never mind! Let\'s help the second idiot first... Brother is coming after us, it\'ll be all right, yeah."
"Eh?"
Xiao Yunluo finally reacted, turned her head blankly to look in the direction the Snow Jade Spirit Sword had come from, and pursed her lips, nodding. "Lianxue, hold on tight! I\'ll fly faster!"
Then, she stepped on the hilt of the flying sword and accelerated, heading in the direction of the golden dragon and black python.
