Chapter 16 is incomparable
"We've got the goods, what more do you want?"
In the light screen, a man dressed in a black cloak, completely covering himself, whispered a reprimand.
Standing opposite him was a charming and alluring woman, dressed in red, exuding captivating beauty. She held a gold hairpin in her hand, playing with it, and a subtle smile played on her lips. "This is far from enough. You should know the consequences of betraying the Underworld."
“I am already branded, how could I dare to betray you? But if you stay here too long, you might be discovered, and then all our efforts will be in vain.”
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I've come here for two reasons: first, to retrieve something; and second, because I'm curious about a newly promoted disciple of the Annihilation Frost Sect. I really want to meet him, to see what kind of person he is who has been summoned by the True Dragon Ancestor."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a crisp impact sound came from the sky. Then, fine cracks appeared on the light screen, which continued to spread until the light screen shattered completely, and the flowing black aura spread outwards.
The woman in red was terrified. She immediately changed her hand seal and summoned her silver bell magic weapon, which once again created a light barrier to cover them.
"Oh no, the others have probably already noticed. You'd better leave quickly!" The man in the black cloak was very anxious and urged the woman to leave immediately, but the woman's face was unusually pale, and the silver bell in her hand made a cold sound.
"Little guy, who sent you here?"
The woman coldly glanced at Tao Tao, who was lying headfirst on the ground, and walked towards her step by step. With each step closer, her murderous aura increased.
Sensing the approaching chilling killing intent, Tao Tao scrambled to his feet, wiped the dust from his face, and gripped his longsword, staring intently at the woman approaching. "Um, I went to the wrong place. If there's nothing else, I'll go back to practicing my sword."
She grabbed the sword and was about to run away when the woman, her face ashen, reached out and grabbed at the air. Tao Tao instantly felt an extremely strong force choking her throat and forcibly pulling her away.
"Want to leave? Since you're here, then stay." With that, the woman tightened her grip, and Tao Tao was nearly suffocated. She gritted her teeth and tried to break free, gathering all her strength. In an instant, the woman's fingernails extended and pierced deeply into Tao Tao's flesh.
"hiss……"
Tao Tao gasped and quickly summoned the Jadeite Twin Rings, but before the rings could attack the woman, they were easily neutralized by her with a simple wave of her hand.
The opponent's cultivation level was unfathomable, far beyond what Tao Tao could compare to. Even the magical power flowing around his body was restricted by the opponent, and he couldn't use anything.
"So it's just a little demon beast. I was wondering how she could be so bold. I wonder if she's the newly promoted disciple of your Annihilation Frost Sect?" The woman turned around, carrying Tao Tao, and asked the cloaked man with a light laugh.
The man was wearing a cloak, and his face was blurred, probably due to a spell to conceal his appearance, making him unrecognizable. Tao Tao had a keen sense of smell and caught a faint aroma of meatballs with a savory sauce.
This taste is familiar; it's the taste only found at Zhenxiu Pavilion.
“She’s a key person we’re keeping an eye on. If anything happens to her, those old guys won’t let you off the hook. I advise you to let her go and leave as soon as possible.”
"What, you're worried I'll harm her? I didn't expect you to have someone you care about?"
The woman's smile was exceptionally radiant, and her words grew increasingly forceful. Tao Tao was almost suffocating; she struggled incessantly, but there was nothing else she could do.
"I'm just worried about things being exposed. Why invite unnecessary trouble?" As the man spoke, he suddenly felt a force approaching. He frowned and quickly said, "Hurry, they're here."
"Okay, I'll take this little thing with me."
"Let go of the nest..."
Upon hearing that he was to be taken away, Tao Tao immediately panicked and, disregarding everything else, forcibly transformed back into his beast form.
"That's impressive. Even though I locked up your magic, you can still take human form."
The woman was very surprised and looked at Tao Tao with great interest, not worried at all about what she might do.
Tao Tao had no time to listen to her nonsense; he only had one thought in his mind: to escape from here.
The opponent was too strong, and she knew very well that she was no match for him. Since she couldn't confront him head-on, she had to find a way to escape.
"Stop struggling, you can't escape. I think instead of staying in the Annihilation Frost Sect, you should come with me, become my spirit beast, and serve me as your master. You might have a better life than you do now."
As she spoke, the woman stretched out her left hand, her index finger was cut by a force, and a drop of scarlet blood oozed out. She then pointed it at Tao Tao's forehead, as if she wanted to subdue Tao Tao.
Tao Tao struggled even harder, using all her strength with both hands and feet. Seeing her struggle like this, the woman's smile became even brighter. Just as her finger was about to touch Tao Tao's brow, a cold snort suddenly rang out, and her hand was repelled by an invisible force.
"Who?" The woman was shocked. Such powerful strength was definitely no less than hers, or even higher. But there were only the three of them. Who could have done this? Could it be those old guys? Impossible, they couldn't have arrived so quickly.
Just as she was lost in thought, Tao Tao took advantage of her unpreparedness, grabbed her left hand and bit her, his sharp little teeth piercing her flesh and tearing off a piece of it.
"Damn it, you dared to bite me!"
The woman winced in pain and instinctively threw it away. Tao Tao twisted her waist, spun around, and created distance, then pouted at the woman, "You're not tasty!"
"I think you're tired of living!" the woman roared, thrusting out a palm strike. Red flames shot straight at Tao Tao with incredible speed. Tao Tao couldn't dodge in time and was instantly engulfed by the flames.
"Hahahaha, die!"
Just as the woman was laughing wildly in excitement, the flames suddenly scattered, and then an invisible force struck her from the front. She didn't even have time to react before she was hit and her body flew backward.
In the dim light, she seemed to see a silver-robed man appear beside Tao Tao after the flames dissipated. He stood with his hands behind his back, yet he exuded a terrifying sense of oppression, like a god from the heavens, making people dare not look directly at him.
The cloaked man was completely dumbfounded by what he saw. She was a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, yet she was so easily defeated...
This person is truly terrifying!
He no longer cared about the woman who had been knocked off the cliff. He quickly took out a high-level magic weapon, turned around, and flew away as a streak of light.
"Let's go too."
The silver-robed man beside Tao Tao spoke calmly, and with a wave of his long sleeves, Tao Tao felt a blur before his eyes, and in the blink of an eye, he was in another place.
