Chapter 13 All for One's Life
Of course, Tao Tao didn't care about that; all she could think about was how to use the sudden surge of power in her body to deal with the two five-phosphorus scorpions.
These two are not easy to deal with, especially since the power in her body is not originally hers and is difficult to control. She must be on guard at all times.
"Have you noticed that Tao Tao's speed has slowed down?" Song Chaofeng kept a close eye on Tao Tao, afraid that something might happen to her. Originally, Tao Tao was very fast, but after confronting the two five-phosphorus scorpions for a while, her speed suddenly slowed down, which made him worry.
Qin Xiyu's cultivation level was low, so she couldn't see anything, but out of concern, she immediately started rummaging through her storage bracelet, saying, "Why don't we go help her?"
That makes sense.
Song Chaofeng raised his hand and took out two talismans. Just as he was about to go to provide assistance, a sudden chill swept over them, instantly engulfing them and making them shiver.
At the same time, the light projected by the silver mark between Tao Tao's eyebrows became even more dazzling. She quickly changed her palm seals and chanted complicated incantations. With a clear sound, more than a dozen ice shards condensed behind her and shot towards the two five-phosphorus scorpions at an extremely fast speed.
Perhaps sensing danger, the two five-phosphorus scorpions quickly separated and fled in two different directions.
Seeing this, Tao Tao activated his twin rings to chase after the Five Phosphorus Scorpion, while Bing Ling turned and split to attack, forcing the Five Phosphorus Scorpion into a desperate situation.
"Oh no, they're planning a fight to the death!"
Suddenly Qin Xiyu shouted, and then saw two five-phosphorus scorpions crash headfirst into the stone wall without hesitation. Their shells were already hard, and with the force of their blows, a deafening roar was heard.
boom!
The stone wall cracked open under the violent impact, sending sand and stones flying and dust billowing up. The cracks continued to spread, extending directly to the ground, and the surrounding area began to tremble. It looked like the nest was about to collapse.
"Tao Tao, quick, let's get out of here!"
The situation was critical, and Song Chaofeng shouted at Tao Tao.
Tao Tao naturally noticed the situation around her. Staying any longer was not a solution, so she had to leave first. She turned around and looked at where Song Chaofeng and the others were. She grabbed the air with all her might, and the flying jade rings circled once and returned to her hand.
Then, she rushed towards them at lightning speed. Song Chaofeng also summoned the Jade Ruyi with perfect understanding, and stood on it with Qin Xiyu, ready to help Tao Tao before leaving.
"Wait, wait for me..."
A weak cry for help came from the smoke and dust; it was immediately recognizable as Sun Lian's.
Qin Xiyu looked back and saw that he was still lying in the mud. He probably wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but the nest was about to collapse and he was injured and could not go far. He could only ask Qin Xiyu and the others for help.
To be honest, Song Chaofeng really didn't want to save this person. It was one thing to run away at the last minute, but he even schemed against them, almost ruining their mission and getting wiped out by the Five Phosphorus Scorpions.
"Senior Brother Song, Senior Brother Sun is a fellow disciple after all, should we..." Qin Xiyu asked weakly. She was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see someone die. Besides, they were fellow disciples, and if something really happened, it would be difficult to explain to Xiao Huan Peak.
Just as Song Chaofeng hesitated, Tao Tao had already landed on the jade ruyi. Seeing that the surroundings were about to collapse, she hurriedly urged, "Master brother, let's go quickly."
"Alright, let's go." Song Chaofeng nodded, glanced back at the disheveled Sun Lian, gritted his teeth, threw out the Immortal Binding Rope to bind him, pulled him onto the Jade Ruyi, and immediately urged the Jade Ruyi to escape towards the cave entrance.
Qin Xiyu took out a magic artifact and erected a small barrier to protect them from falling stones. However, she could only activate a low-level magic artifact, so she said anxiously, "Senior Brother Song, we have to hurry. We probably can't hold out here for much longer."
"Of course I know, that's why I'm rushing to leave." Song Chaofeng rolled his eyes speechlessly, constantly changing his palm seals and channeling almost all of his magic power, just to leave as quickly as possible.
Huge rocks kept falling from above. The first few times they were stopped by the barrier, but after several consecutive falls, the barrier was clearly no longer able to hold up.
"Oops……"
Seeing that the barrier was about to shatter, Qin Xiyu's face turned deathly pale.
"I'll do it." Tao Tao took a step forward and urged the ice shards to shoot towards the falling boulder. The ice shards were extremely sharp, and the falling boulder was shattered into dust.
Qin Xiyu breathed a sigh of relief, while Song Chaofeng focused on urging the Jade Ruyi to fly out of the cave just before the entire nest completely collapsed. However, it still suffered a considerable impact, forcing the Jade Ruyi to accelerate forward and fly quite a distance. Fortunately, Song Chaofeng managed to control it in time, preventing it from falling off the cliff.
Therefore, Song Chaofeng was physically exhausted and his magical power was almost completely depleted. He could no longer activate the jade ruyi. The group had no choice but to sit and rest in the nearby mountains and forests to recover some of their strength before continuing their journey.
Seeing the three people meditating, Sun Lian quietly got up to slip away, but Song Chaofeng was already on guard against him. Without even taking off the Immortal Binding Rope, he pulled hard and threw Sun Lian upside down.
"You!" Sun Lian was so angry that his face turned green. He glared at Song Chaofeng through gritted teeth, but the wound on his arm was so painful that his face was contorted with pain, and he had no mind to vent his anger.
"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you want'? If you don't like it, go back by yourself. What are you doing following us?"
Not to mention Sun Lian was angry, Song Chaofeng was furious. This guy had his junior brothers surround him, and it took him a lot of effort to get rid of them. Did he really think he had no temper? It was good enough that he wasn't beaten up.
After all, he needed someone's help, so even if Sun Lian felt uncomfortable, he had to accept it. What if they really left him here and he encountered a few more monsters?
Sun Lian didn't dare to speak, and Song Chaofeng didn't bother to kick him while he was down. After his strength had almost recovered, he opened his eyes and looked at the bored Tao Tao, then suddenly asked, "Tao Tao, what happened to you just now? Why did you suddenly become so strong?"
His question even drew ears from Sun Lian, who couldn't help but join in the fun.
"Amazing?" Tao Tao tilted her head, looking quite adorable, seemingly completely unaware. After thinking seriously for a moment, her eyes lit up, and she said cheerfully, "It's because of Ayan!"
Song Chaofeng frowned. "Who?"
He'd never heard of that name before. Had Tao Tao taken on some extraordinary master again? But wait, she'd already joined the Immortal Spirit Valley; she shouldn't have any other masters. Besides, he hadn't noticed anyone else following her along the way.
“It’s Ayan.” Tao Tao replied very seriously, which made Song Chaofeng’s head spin. Well, there was no point in asking, so he simply shut up.
After recovering, they returned to their sect. As soon as Sun Liancai stepped into the sect, he was picked up by his fellow disciples from Xiao Huanfeng. Their attitude seemed unfriendly, but Tao Tao and the others didn't care and happily went to hand in their mission.
