Chapter 165: Battle against Taotie
Feng Yequn gently stroked her hair and comforted her in a soft tone: "You are thinking about the time when you were bullied and tortured by Wanqi and the others in Xianyuan, right? Those nightmares are over!"
Luo Ying quickly wiped away the tears that welled up in her eyes and hurriedly explained: "No, I was thinking about my experience in the real world!"
Feng Yequn was about to ask more questions, but Shi Juyi had already heard about Luo Ying's past bullying and torture. He instantly became furious and shouted angrily, "Whoever dares to bully Ying Shuai, I will skin her alive now!"
Feng Yequn glanced at him sideways, with a hint of disdain on his lips, and said coldly: "How can you wait for me to make a move? Even your Third Prince hasn't had the chance to make a move yet. Wanqi has already been plucked out of her immortal bones by Prince Yu and thrown into the mortal world!"
Hearing this, Luo Ying suddenly broke free from Feng Yequn's embrace, her eyes full of disbelief and shock. She asked in a trembling voice, "What? How could Prince Yu be so cruel? How could he pull out her immortal bones and throw her into the mortal world? Wouldn't she never be able to return to heaven for the rest of her life?"
Feng Yequn gently stroked her cheek and said softly but firmly: "She almost killed you when she destroyed your paper crane. If Prince Yu hadn't acted first, I would have done the same thing! I will never allow anyone to hurt you in the slightest!"
Luo Ying became emotional and shouted, "But this punishment is too harsh and too severe!"
Feng Yequn sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "You are always like this, always thinking about others in everything, always taking others into consideration and putting yourself at the mercy of others, but in the end, who has ever considered your feelings? Your life was almost lost to her twice, and you are still speaking for her. If she hadn't teamed up with Hua Hongsu to harm you that time, and you had stopped me and the Third Prince from causing trouble for her, there wouldn't have been a second attack on the paper crane! Many times, being soft-hearted is like a knife! It lends itself to being stabbed by others!"
After listening to Luo Ying's description of his many dangerous experiences, Shi Juyi finally realized what Shao Hanyue had said before and understood why Hua Yuchen only trusted Feng Yequn.
Xiao Qingxiu listened to their conversation quietly. She turned to look at Shao Hanyue and couldn't help but admire Luo Ying sincerely: "No wonder Ying Shuai can win the favor of so many people. If I were a man, I would also fall in love with her uncontrollably!"
Shao Hanyue listened to Xiao Qingxiu's sigh, and an indescribable emotion surged in her heart. She couldn't help but say: "Sister is too kind-hearted! I hurt her deeply before, but she not only didn't punish me, but also worried that I, the one who hurt her, would have no place in the Heavenly Court, so she gave me a chance to make amends! Such a kind person, the heaven and earth bless her, and arranged so many people to protect her."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingxiu looked at Shao Hanyue in surprise: "You have hurt Ying Shuai? Why does she still think so highly of you?"
Shao Hanyue looked guilty and sighed, "I feel extremely guilty when I talk about this. I almost caused her to part ways with the Third Prince! Fortunately, they have been through so many hardships and their relationship is indestructible! Otherwise, I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life."
Luo Ying suddenly heard Shao Hanyue's words, as if she was hit by a heavy hammer, and the memory of the pure and innocent relationship with Hua Yuchen instantly flooded her mind. She hurriedly broke free from Feng Yequn's arms, calmed down, and smiled awkwardly: "We have gone off topic! Let's continue talking about Taotie!"
Feng Yequn looked down at his empty arms, and an indescribable sadness surged in his heart. Shao Hanyue's words just now: Fortunately, they have experienced too many hardships, and their feelings are indestructible! He couldn't help but feel extremely disappointed.
Luo Ying continued, "So, Taotie is just using its ferocious appearance to disguise its inner fragility. It has a kind heart hidden under its ferocious appearance. We should try not to hurt it and try to outsmart it."
Xiao Qingxiu asked cautiously in a low voice, "Has Ying Shuai thought of any solution?"
Luo Ying came back to his senses from his deep thoughts, his eyes flashing with determination: "As long as there is a weakness, it will be easy to deal with. This guy has the weakest combat power among the ten divine beasts. Let's go and meet him first!"
The five men led 300 soldiers and marched towards the lair of the Taotie. When they arrived near their destination, there was an eerie silence all around, as if even the air had frozen.
Shao Hanyue looked around with an expression of disbelief on her face: "Did we go to the wrong place? It's so quiet?"
Luo Ying frowned slightly and said in a low voice: "The calm before the storm! Qingxiu, go and inform the soldiers to be careful!" Xiao Qingxiu nodded in agreement and quickly turned around to convey Luo Ying's order. The others followed closely behind Luo Ying, vigilantly observing the movements around them, waiting for the upcoming challenge.
Suddenly, the ground shook violently, as if the whole world was trembling. Then, a huge conjoined monster suddenly approached. Its huge body was like a dark cloud, covering most of the sky and casting a gloomy shadow.
The monster's body was as majestic as a mountain, as if it was the embodiment of the earth, full of power and majesty. However, its indescribable ugliness was frightening, as if it was a terrifying existence beyond human understanding. Its skin was rough and uneven, covered with all kinds of strange lines and protrusions, making people dare not look directly at it.
As the monster approached, a strong sense of oppression came along, making it almost impossible to breathe. The air seemed to be filled with a suffocating stench, making people involuntarily want to escape from this horrific scene.
Facing this huge conjoined monster, everyone felt extremely helpless and insignificant. Their heartbeats accelerated and their breathing became rapid, as if they could lose control at any time. However, even in this situation, they had to face it bravely, because escaping would only bring them closer to the brink of death.
The most peculiar thing is that this mythical beast actually has two heads. Its body is extremely large, but it reveals an indescribable ugliness. What is even more peculiar is that each head has a pair of curved horns, but no eyes. However, under its armpits on both sides, there are a pair of eyes as big as copper bells, flashing with strange light, like two bright stars in the dark night.
Although the body of this mythical beast is thin and sheep-like, it contains endless power. Its limbs are slender and powerful, and every step seems to be able to crush rocks. And its sharp claws are as fierce as a tiger, as if they can tear apart all obstacles. Such a mythical beast is both mysterious and terrifying, making people want to explore it, but also feel fear.
It lowered its head and stared at Luo Ying with a sharp gaze. Its green eyes were like a deep lake, which made Luo Ying feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Between Taotie and Luo Ying, a frozen picture was quietly formed, and time seemed to have stopped at this moment.
Luo Ying's heartbeat gradually accelerated, and she couldn't help but reach out her hand, wanting to touch the mysterious creature. The Taotie seemed to sense her intention, and slowly raised a sharp claw and slowly approached her hand.
The atmosphere around them suddenly became tense, and everyone held their breath, as if even the air had frozen.
At this moment, Taotie suddenly let out a sharp and shrill cry, the sound was like a baby crying, but even louder and more shocking. It resounded through the sky, as if it was going to tear apart the silent night sky. The entire earth was shaking at the sound, as if the mountains were shaking and the earth was trembling, making people terrified.
Shi Juyi was worried that Luo Ying was in danger, so he shouted, "Master Ying, be careful!"
He suddenly stretched out his hand to pull Luo Ying, but was slapped by Taotie with a palm, and his body flew several feet away like a kite with a broken string. Seeing this scene, three hundred soldiers immediately surrounded him vigilantly, trying to trap Taotie. Xiao Qingxiu and Shao Hanyue also acted quickly, and worked together to pull Luo Ying far away to ensure her safety.
However, their actions seemed to have completely angered the Taotie. It raised its head and howled, and the deafening roar resounded through the sky. Its ferocious face showed its fangs, and its bloody mouth opened wide, as if it wanted to swallow the whole world. It pounced on the three hundred soldiers, and with just two palms, it threw them to the sides. For a while, the battlefield was filled with wailing, and many soldiers were seriously injured and fell to the ground.
Luo Ying was heartbroken when he saw this scene. He shouted in horror, "No... don't provoke it! Get back quickly!"
Although the three hundred soldiers were seriously injured, they still supported each other and prepared to retreat. However, at this moment, Taotie raised its head and roared again, its bloody mouth seemed to swallow everything, and it went straight to the seriously injured soldiers.
Luo Ying reacted instinctively, her figure was as light as a bird flying across the sky, and she instantly soared into the sky. She took a deep breath, as if absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, activating the spiritual power hidden deep in her body. At that moment, the whole world seemed to have some kind of indescribable mysterious resonance with her.
Under her power, the petals of the tulsi flowers began to slowly float in the air. They gradually blossomed into a dazzling red color, as if they were ignited by flames, releasing a fiery and bright light. The fiery flame energy slowly flowed in the air, forming a spectacular fire dragon, which circled and danced in the air, like a real fire dragon guarding this world.
Luo Ying carefully controlled the fire dragon and used it to tightly surround the soldiers. She did not want to hurt the ferocious Taotie, but just wanted to force it back and protect the safety of the soldiers. Under the cover of the fire dragon, the three hundred soldiers quickly and orderly began to retreat.
However, Taotie didn't want to let them go. It roared unwillingly, flew into the air, flailing its limbs, exposing its fangs, and pounced on them with the force of thunder. The fire dragon was about to be destroyed by Taotie.
Luo Ying moved and quickly flew forward, intending to attract the attention of the ferocious Taotie so as to buy time for everyone to retreat. However, the Taotie's sense of smell seemed to be extremely sharp. It instantly sensed Luo Ying's approach, then turned its huge body, opened its bloody mouth, and rushed towards Luo Ying like a gust of wind.
