<em ss="chakra-text css-0">Hoooo---</em>
The cold wind was howling.
Arge area of ??the forest was devastated by the fight between the golden dragon and the ck 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.
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">"Ah--!"</em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">"Ouch!"</em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">Pfff---</em>
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 fistsnded 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. <em ss="chakra-text css-0">"Do you have something in that skull?!"</em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">"Ouch! Ouch! It hurts!! Ouch--"</em>
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.
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">"??You! Let go!!"</em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">"Ah---!"</em>
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 ck hair.
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">p---</em>
A p, crisp and loud, made Xue''e''s head turn to the right suddenly.
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">"...????"</em>
Another vein popped out on Xue''e''s forehead, and she red at Xiao Tian, who was underneath her. She punched her in the face and grabbed her hair.
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">"Are you sick?! What''s the point of fighting me?!"</em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">"Wuuuuu-- Waaaaaaah---"</em>
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.
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">"Ouch-- it hurts!!"</em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">"Do you know it hurts now?"</em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">"Woooo---"</em>
Xue''e punched again. <em ss="chakra-text css-0">"You bite me, eh?"</em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">"Woo-wah--!"</em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">Puff!</em>
Another punch. <em ss="chakra-text css-0">"Grab my hair, huh?"</em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">"Woo woo... sob---"</em>
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. <em ss="chakra-text css-0">"Is there soy milk in your head? Why do youe 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?"</em>
Xiao Tian sniffed and looked at Xue''e''s face. <em ss="chakra-text css-0">"...Sniff---Wooo---! Anping!! She bullied me!!"</em>
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 <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Heavenly Scroll</em> spirits, and only those who possessed the <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Heavenly Scrolls</em> 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 <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Heavenly Scroll</em>, 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 rxed 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 ce 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.
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">"Tsk..."</em>
At this time, Xiao Tian''s tearful eyes suddenly shed. 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!
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">"Ay..."</em>
The little fist with a faint golden glow directly hit Xue''e''s cheek, making a dent in it.
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">"Humph! How dare you look around! Why did you hit me? Why did you hit me?!"</em>
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.
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">"You golden fool...ah---!"</em>
Xiao Tian also grabbed Xue''e''s ears in retaliation.
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">"Wuu, my mouth is going to split open!! Let go!!!"</em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">"Ouch! My ears are going to fall off! Hey! Let go!"</em>
One gold and one ck 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 calcted everything, it had never crossed his mind that Xiao Tian and Xue''e would fight...
And the way they fought...
Hair pulling, pping, face scratching, ear pulling, biting...
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">"Hiss--"</em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">"Wu--aaah---!"</em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">"Yaaaa---!!"</em>
"..."
Ye Anping pinched the bridge of his nose, and after hesitating for a while, he finally decided to walk out from behind the tree.
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">Swish-- swish--</em>
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.
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">"Woooaaa---! Anping!! She bullied me!!"</em>
"..."
Ye Anping ignored her and pretended to look at the golden dragon and ck python that were still shaking the ce 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 <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Heavenly Dao Scroll</em>, so how could he hear her?
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">"He can''t hear you..."</em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">"Hmph! Anping, help me teach this ck ugly thing a lesson! Catch it, and Yu Die will..."</em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">"Are you nuts? Whatever..."</em>
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 Mingxinter.
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 ck python in the distance, turned his cold deep purple eyes toward her.
"To be honest, she''s quite silly."
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">?!!!!</em>
Hearing this, Xue''e suddenly got goosebumps on her back, and she looked up at Ye Anping''s face in disbelief.
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">"You...you are the owner of the Heavenly Dao Scroll? But that silver-haired girl..."</em>
"Noment."
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?"
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">"Ah..."</em>
Hearing this, Xiao Tian came back to her senses and said with an anxious look, <em ss="chakra-text css-0">"Anping! Go help Yu Die, she can''t hold on any longer! Hurry up... Yes! Over there!"</em>
"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 <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Core Formation</em> 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.
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">"Ah... Anping?! Are you hurt?"</em>
"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."
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">"Ah... But..."</em>
"We need to help Sister Feng now."
Ye Anping summoned the <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Snow Jade Spirit Sword</em> 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 ck fog was like a dark cloud enveloping the mountaintop. Spiritual fire and thunder spells were constantly shining, apanied by streaks of silver sword light that could break through the sky.
If one looked closely, what looked like a dark cloud at first nce, 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...
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">"Anping, over there..."</em>
"I have a backup n..."
Ye Anping motioned for her to rx. Then, he swept the surface of the <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Snow Jade Spirit Sword</em> 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. <em ss="chakra-text css-0"><strong>"Sister! Catch!!!"</strong></em>
With that, he threw the spirit sword with all his strength.
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">Boom---</em>
A powerful wind and airwave were generated like an explosion.
The <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Snow Jade Spirit Sword</em> 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.
Afterunching 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.
...
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">Ding---</em>
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 <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Leaf Shadow Sword</em> technique.
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">Crack---</em>
A sound like broken ss 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-likepound 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 thatnded on his body only prated two inches into his skin and could not hurt the roots of his <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Nascent Soul</em> 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 <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Leaf Shadow Sword</em> technique to swing ten sword lights again.
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">Swish---</em>
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 ck 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 nned to kill Jiang Mojiao in a few moves.
However, the sudden appearance of Gu Mingxin kept Feng Yu Die upied.
What''s more, the <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Snow Jade Spirit Sword</em> 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 notpare to the <em ss="chakra-text css-0">ck Ice Spirit Sword</em> that had once stood in the hands of <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Void Returning</em> 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 <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Snow Guards</em>...
If the <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Snow Guards</em> 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."
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">Swish---</em>
"But... if we keep fighting like this... Fire, activate!! Heh--"
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">Boom---</em>
mes 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.
<em ss="chakra-text css-0"><strong>---"Sister! Catch!!!"</strong></em>
Brother?!
A sky-shattering stream of light shot rapidly from the mountainside. Jiang Mojiao''spound eyes snapped in that direction and saw a ck 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!!!"
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">Squeak---</em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">Hiss---</em>
However, the parasites that were originally protecting Jiang Mojiao were now frozen in ce 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 ck ice sword approaching.
But at this moment, even the spider that was his lower body seemed to be mocking him.
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">Hiss---</em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">(You are a waste.)</em>
"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 <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Qi Refining</em> stage cultivators! He''s the one!!!"
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">(Heh... You will never be my master...)</em>
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">Swoosh---</em>
The ck 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 <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Snow Jade Spirit Sword</em> 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 <em ss="chakra-text css-0">ck Ice Spirit Sword</em> and shouted. "Ahhhh---!"
Then, his <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Nascent Soul</em> left his body.
"I want to live!! I want to live!! You bunch of losers ahhhhh!!"
"Don''t even think about it!!"
Seeing his <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Nascent Soul</em> trying to escape, Pei Lianxue quickly jumped and swung several sword lights, but just as it was about to fall on Jiang Mojiao''s <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Nascent Soul</em>, 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 <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Nascent Soul</em> 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 <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Nascent Soul</em>, which had been broken into countless small pieces.
Seeing Jiang Mojiao''s <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Nascent Soul</em> 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 <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Nascent Soul</em>.
But just as the two of them rushed out of the ck sea of ??poisonous insects, the poisonous insects behind them began to chirp in unison. <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Hiss-hiss-hiss--</em>
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 ising after us, it''ll be all right, yeah."
"Eh?"
Xiao Yunluo finally reacted, turned her head nkly to look in the direction the <em ss="chakra-text css-0">Snow Jade Spirit Sword</em> hade 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 elerated, heading in the direction of the golden dragon and ck python.
