Chapter 50: You Have a Little Tiger Tooth, So Cute!

Before Xue Chen could react.

Ning Shengsheng was the first to grab his sleeve and run backward.

Xue Chen raised an eyebrow. “When it comes to running for one’s life, no one in the entire cultivation world can compare to Her Highness the Princess.”

“Hehe, I’ll take that as a compliment!”

Before transmigrating, Ning Shengsheng used to stay at home playing video games. She was no good at dueling, but she was an expert at saving her own skin.

The person behind them was getting closer and closer.

Before long.

Ning Shengsheng choked on the dust kicked up from behind. She turned around and saw a person wearing a black and white Daoist robe.

Her gaze moved up.

It was Ling Hegui!

“Senior Brother Ling?” Ning Shengsheng asked in surprise. A late-stage Void Aperture cultivator is being chased like this by Blood Vine Demons?

Seriously?

“Princess? Fellow Daoist Xue!”

Ling Hegui swung his sword backward in a sorry state.

“Blood Vine Demons travel underground. Usually, they only gather in groups of a dozen or so. Guess how many are behind us?”

The dust obscured their vision.

Ning Shengsheng couldn’t see clearly even by squinting. She made a bold guess, “Could there be a hundred?”

“If it were a hundred, I wouldn’t be running for my life.”

Ling Hegui smiled bitterly.

He was a late-stage Void Aperture cultivator and the son of the Sect Leader. Although the magical artifacts he carried couldn’t compare to Ning Shengsheng’s, he definitely had more than the average disciple.

Xue Chen’s ears twitched. “Nearly two hundred.”

Ning Shengsheng: “My god!”

“Apologies. I tried to run towards unpopulated areas, but I didn’t expect you two to be in the Ash Lands.”

Ling Hegui looked guilty.

Ning Shengsheng gave him a thumbs up in her heart. As expected of the original male lead, his values were upright and his character was good.

“Now isn’t the time to think about that. We have to find a way to kill them,” Xue Chen said calmly.

Ning Shengsheng nodded in agreement, raising another question. “A total of one thousand demonic creatures were released into the secret realm.”

“Two hundred of them are chasing you.”

“Is that reasonable?”

Ling Hegui’s expression was grave. It was impossible for two hundred Blood Vine Demons to have colluded to hunt him down.

Unless someone did it intentionally.

It was obvious who the culprit behind the scenes was.

“There’s no road ahead.”

Xue Chen grabbed Ning Shengsheng’s wrist with a backhanded grip.

He pulled her several zhang away.

She glanced over. The young man’s slender fingers were resting on her wrist bone through her sleeve.

Even in such a critical situation.

He could still pay attention to such details.

“You absolutely cannot use fire.” Ling Hegui slashed out a sword aura. “Fire will nourish the Blood Vines.”

Ning Shengsheng silently stuffed the Thunder Fire Talisman back.

“Then what are they afraid of?”

The Blood Vine Demons burst out from the ground.

Revealing their foul-smelling, slimy bodies. At the top of the vines were two rows of sharp teeth glinting with cold light.

So disgusting.

The demons were getting closer and closer to her.

They were about to stick their faces right into hers and use their ultimate moves.

Ning Shengsheng reached both hands into her storage pouch and threw out magical artifacts unceremoniously. “Forget it for now.”

“As long as it’s not fire, it’ll work!”

Then.

Ling Hegui and Xue Chen watched as the wriggling Blood Vines on the ground were first drenched wet like seaweed by water, and then fried tender on the outside and charred on the inside by lightning.

The two of them turned their heads in unison.

They saw Ning Shengsheng’s open storage pouch glowing with gold light, with magical artifacts and talismans flying out continuously.

One person creating the momentum of a thousand troops.

Ling Hegui: I thought she was rich, but I didn’t expect her to be domineering to this extent!

Xue Chen was already used to it. He calmly straightened his sleeves.

An incense stick’s worth of time passed.

The Blood Vine Demons drooped their heads listlessly, their cold, gleaming teeth missing several ones.

“I’m exhausted.”

Ning Shengsheng rubbed her sore arms.

“These ugly things can only be repelled, but they won’t die no matter what. What should we do?”

Ling Hegui watched dumbfounded. Hearing her speak, he finally closed his mouth. “The only way is to slice off the blood tumor that provides them with demonic energy with a single sword strike. It’s right behind their heads.”

“I see it. Is it that ugly, lumpy red tumor?”

Blood Vine Demon: …

You can kill me, but why do you have to launch a personal attack?

“Uh, yes…” Ling Hegui went along with her words. “The Princess is right, it is that ugly tumor.”

Blood Vine Demon: …It was furious.

It was going to bet on the dignity of the demon race today and suck the blood of these human cultivators dry!

“Hiss—”

All the Blood Vine Demons bared their teeth in unison.

So white!

Ning Shengsheng was blinded for a moment, thinking to herself: It’s a pity these demons don’t film toothpaste commercials.

“You guys hold them off for a bit.”

“Let me show you a weapon of mass destruction!”

Not knowing what Ning Shengsheng was going to do, Ling Hegui and Xue Chen charged forward with their swords.

In the current situation.

They could only trust their teammate and fight with their backs to the wall.

The battle ahead was intense.

Using all her strength, Ning Shengsheng dragged a huge, square wooden box out of her storage pouch.

Outside the arena, Ling Jue Shangren asked Ning Xuan in surprise, “Why did little friend Ning An drag out a coffin?”

Ning Xuan curled his lips, his eyes revealing an arrogant look. “That is no simple coffin. Sect Leader Ling, just watch.”

Inside the secret realm.

Xue Chen looked back.

Just that one glance almost made him slip.

He saw Ning Shengsheng struggling to lift the coffin lid and slowly climbing inside.

Ling Hegui also happened to look back.

Seeing this scene, he jumped in fright.

He quickly tried to stop her.

“Princess, it’s not like we have no chance of winning. There’s no need to bury yourself right now.”

“Come out quickly!”

Ning Shengsheng inside the “coffin”: …

It was all Ning Xuan’s bad taste. A perfectly good Ten Thousand Swords Box, made into the shape of a coffin.

“Xue Chen, Senior Brother Ling, dodge!”

Ning Shengsheng’s muffled voice came from inside the coffin.

Their eyes met, and they decided to trust their partner.

They each flew up into the trees on either side.

Immediately after.

The sound of mechanical gears operating came from inside the coffin, click, click, click.

With a clack.

The coffin erupted with thousands of feet of white light.

The coffin lid opened a huge mouth.

Suddenly!

Thousands of flying swords shot out from within. The flying swords poured out like a swarm of bees, stabbing toward the Blood Vine Demons ahead.

The densely packed swords.

There were several times more swords than Blood Vines. Not to mention two hundred Blood Vine Demons, even five hundred would be no problem. It was just that the indiscriminate attack was a bit scary.

Some flying swords pierced through bodies.

Others pierced through their blood tumors.

In just a few dozen seconds.

The clearing was filled with Blood Vine corpses. Green liquid flowed out; the scene was extremely nauseating.

“How is it? Are they dead?”

Ning Shengsheng stayed inside, not daring to poke her head out.

She was afraid she’d die if she did.

Xue Chen and Ling Hegui looked at the tragic state below, their faces filled with indescribable expressions.

“They are dead, but…”

Ling Hegui couldn’t continue.

Xue Chen looked away and continued, “I’m just afraid that after seeing it, you won’t be able to eat for three days.”

“Psh, how is that possible? This princess has seen everything. Back then with the hundred Corrupting Winged Spiders, I…”

“Blergh!!!”

Ning Shengsheng had just climbed out of the coffin when she saw the ground full of Blood Vine corpses. Her gag reflex kicked in immediately.

“I’m… blergh…”

“Fine… yue!!!”

Seeing this, Xue Chen jumped down from the tree, holding back his laughter. “Your Highness, why force yourself?”

“Use this to cover your nose and mouth.”

A handkerchief appeared in her field of vision.

She covered the lower half of her face with the handkerchief. The scent of orchids filled her nose and mouth, and the nausea quickly subsided.

“Xue Chen, thank you, woo…”

She looked up, her pair of eyes teary.

The young man couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

Ning Shengsheng blinked her almond eyes, staring in a daze for a moment before pointing at the corner of Xue Chen’s mouth.

“Xue Wuyin, you have a little tiger tooth! It’s so cute!”

“……”

Xue Chen’s ears turned red, and he turned to walk away.

He shouldn’t have given her a nice face. With so many people watching outside, how could she just say anything that came to her mind!
