When the five people gathered, while Zhu Yao explained, she urged everyone to return to the sect immediately. Of course, Wang Xuzhi did not have any objections. He pulled out the sect's common spiritual tool, and requested to fly the tool. Although the other three had doubts, they still went along with the Zhu Yao and boarded the leaf.
The strange thing was, Ling Long and Su Zi were holding hands as they climbed up the leaf while following behind Xiao Yi. That deep sisterhood image almost stabbed her eyes blind. What happened? They made up so quickly? What happened to the promised big break-up scene?
The way things are progressing, Xiao Yi is basically creating a harem! As expected, she did not understand Xianxia worlds.
Zhu Yao worriedly raised her head to look at Wang Xuzhi, who was concentrating on flying the tool in front of them. She expressed deep concern for him.
"Big sister Zhu Yao, you don't have to worry. Flying this tool does not use up that much spiritual energy." Wang Xuzhi thought that she was worried he was working too hard, and explained. "Your spiritual energy has yet to recover. You should rest up more."
Who's worried about that? I'm worried that you might do stupid things. Zhu Yao kept her gaze and closed her eyes, as she began to meditate and recover her spiritual energy.
Not long after the start of their flight, the sky slowly brightened up, as the sun gently rose. Only the did Zhu Yao feel a little at ease, they should be able to rush back in time now.
"Yo? What's the rush? Where are you guys planning to go?" A voice which carried a certain degree of ridicule suddenly sounded. The hearts which they had just managed to put at ease, tightened up once again in an instant.
Fox demon!
That familiar red figure blocked the path in front of them. She was still wearing that red chiffon, which could be considered to be negligible, and behind her, her three fox tails were currently swaying leisurely. She turned to look at Zhu Yao who was in the middle, and her voice turned cold in an instant. "So senior was here as well. Your complexion looks terrible, this little demon wonders if there's anything she could do to help."
Zhu Yao tightened the grip in her hands beside her, and replied with a smile. "I really wish that you could help me too, but unfortunately, you're not a male fox!"
Realizing that Zhu Yao was implying about her sexual acts, the fox demon's expression instantly changed. "Hmph! Stinky brat! You actually dared to fool me!"
With a wave of her hand, she took out a white chain, and it attacked towards Zhu Yao.
"Spread!" Zhu Yao shouted loudly, leapt out, and flew towards a certain direction. The other four people found their own directions as well, as they flew and left the large piece of leaf.
And under the fox demon's attack, the leaf-shaped flying mystical tool had shattered into pieces.
The five of them landed on the ground, and summoned their own weapons to fight her. Currently, there was no longer time to flee, and they had no choice but to confront her. But, with three at the Essence-stage, one at the Foundation-stage, and one hiding his Foundation cultivation level, how could they possibly go up against an Azoth-ranked demon?
When the fox demon realized her attack missed, she was not anxious, as she leisurely descended from the skies. Looking at the five juniors in front of her, she smiled sarcastically. They sure are underestimating me. With a wave of her hand, several wind blades, which carried a black demonic aura, were thrown out, and they flew towards the five people.
"Locate the gaps, dodge!" Zhu Yao shouted loudly, and everyone instantly understood. They looked for the gaps between the wind blades, the wind blades barely grazed past them, and none of them was actually hurt.
The fox demon was a little startled. In usual situations, the first reaction one always had after seeing an attack, was either retreating to the back, or dodging to the side. And her wind blades were extremely quick, with their cultivation levels, they definitely could not have been able to dodge all of them, so, they were sure to suffer injuries.
But they actually dodged by locating the gaps between the wind blades. For now, let's put aside the fact that the wind blades were released continuously, and they were in sequence. Wind blades were basically arc-shaped in the first place, and between blades, there were definitely large gaps. They did not have to retreat, nor did they have to dodge to the side, they simply had to slowly move between the blades with small steps, and naturally, it would be impossible for them to get hurt.
After the attack, everyone was a little delighted, and Wang Xuzhi was even looking at Zhu Yao with sparkling eyes. Even Zhu Yao felt it was a little weird, earlier, she simply reacted instinctively. Before she crossed into this world, she had developed net-games for many years, to the usage of skills, and their movement patterns, she was extremely familiar with them. Earlier, she simply recalled one of the patterns in net-games, and blurted it out. She did not think it would actually work.
In that case, the rest of the patterns should be linked as well. At most, she could treat this fox demon as a Boss, and defeat her with that in mind.
"Hmph, you're a little smart! But that's not enough!" The fox demon coldly snorted. This time, her hands turned into claws, and slammed them on the ground. With her position as the center, huge flames began to willfully spread. The huge flames raged, and wherever they went, the grassland would turn into ash.
"Fly up." Zhu Yao commanded everyone to fly with their tools, and she calmed herself as much as possible as she assessed the current battle situation. They had five people in their team, but other than Zhu Yao, Wang Xuzhi and Xiao Yi, the other two girls could be completely ignored, as one of them was at the eighth level of the Essence-stage, while the other was at the seventh level of the Essence-stage. To actually fly up with their swords under the pressure emitted by an Azoth-ranked demon practitioner was already impressive enough, they could not be counted as battle power at all.
Three versus one. Although it looked as though they had the advantage, their strength was being suppressed one-sidedly. Zhu Yao became a little anxious. No, this can't do. Calm down. There's definitely a way.
She was only a Boss, after all. Although Zhu Yao's level was not as high as hers, but in net-games, which Boss would not be of a higher level than the players? Hence, what's important was their coordination and their attacking methods, and also sharp decision-making skills. Even if their team did not have a healer, at the very least, they had three pretty good DPSes.
The experiences in net-games had told her that, in a situation with no tanks or healers, the only way to fight a Boss, was to kite!
"Fly away from this flaming circle!" Zhu Yao commanded, and bringing along the four others, they quickly moved out of the flaming circle.
"Trying to run? It's not that easy." The fox demon flew to the skies, and chased after them.
Zhu Yao summoned a ray of lightning, and threw it towards behind them, blocking the fox demon momentarily. "Xiao Yi, use an Earth-type Mystic Art below us! The bigger the range, the better."
When Xiao Yi heard this, he reacted instantly, an Earthsand Art was sent directly downwards. In an instant, mud and sand flew about, and the flames which were still spreading earlier were instantly extinguished. When they landed on the ground, their vicinity was only left with small and tiny flames.
The fox demon dodged the ray of lightning, and became even more infuriated, summoning countless icicles and shot them towards the five people.
"Spread, the further, the better! Then, find the opportunity to act!" Zhu Yao once again summoned a ray of lightning, signaled to the other four to dodge in different directions. Then, they would occasionally pop out and attack the fox demon.
The fox demon lost a concentrated target, and was instantly furious, attacking wildly in all four directions. The surrounding people just had to occasionally pop out and attack her, with a fireball from the left, a wind blade from the right, a ray of lightning from the front, and another icicle from the back, making it hard for her to defend.
Out of a few, one or two attacks would always make contact, and a fireball had just heavily struck on her right hand. Not only did it burned half of her sleeves, it even burned her arm. The fox demon's eyes turned bloodshot from fury. She no longer bothered looking from left to right, and no longer bothered about the attacks coming from the rest of the directions, rather, she directly pounced towards the source of the fireball.
"You ants!"
And in the direction she was heading, was exactly where Xiao Yi was. Xiao Yi seemed to have not expected that she would pounce towards him without caring about anything else either. For a moment, he was a little stunned, and when he had finally thought of using his sword to block, it was already too late, as the fox demon's palm had heavily struck onto his body. Xiao Yi was instantly sent flying, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Big brother Xiao Yi!" Seeing Xiao Yi was injured, Su Zi and Ling Long ran towards his direction.
"Don't go!" Zhu Yao basically could not stop them in time, and the fox demon's targets which had spread apart, finally gathered together again.
Zhu Yao thought of what she could do to pull the fox demon's hate back to her, and hence, she blurted out. "Hey, granddaughter!"
The fox demon, who was about to deal the killing blow, suddenly turned, and stared ruthlessly at her. "What did you say!?"
"..." Net-games did not fail her, as this sentence completely pulled the fox demon's hate towards her.
Seeing the fox demon, who had thrown aside Xiao Yi and the two other fledglings, flying towards her, Zhu Yao turned tail and ran. The hell, it's easy to increase hate, but it's difficult to decrease it!
"Big sister Zhu Yao!" Wang Xuzhi showed an anxious expression, as he threw dozens of high-grade talismans at the fox demon. As they were all blocked by the fox demon, he had no choice but to use his strongest technique, the "Countless Sword Formation". Gathering all of the spiritual energy in his body, he summoned hundreds and thousands of spiritual swords.
But, spiritual swords such as these, in an Azoth-ranked demon's eyes, were basically nothing. Although the spiritual swords could block the fox demon's attacks for a moment, the large expenditure of spiritual energy was something Wang Xuzhi could not hold out long for, unless they could kill the fox demon with a single decisive blow.
A Mystic Art that could kill an Azoth-ranked demon with a single blow, unless…
Zhu Yao suddenly thought of an idea. "Xuzhi, use a sword formation to restrain her!"
It might… really work. We have no other options anyway, so we might as well take this gamble!
When Wang Xuzhi heard this, he immediately moved the sword formation, forming a wall of swords to restrain her. The fox demon used the white chain in her hand to attack the surrounding spiritual swords. But, the moment she destroyed a set, a new set of spiritual swords would take their place, preventing her from breaking through. Zhu Yao took the opportunity to get to the closest spot to the sword formation, circulated her lightning spiritual energy, enchanting Wang Xuzhi's spiritual swords with lightning.
As expected, spiritual swords which were enchanted with lightning were hundred times stronger and firmer than regular spiritual swords, and lightning was demons' natural enemy.
The fox demon cried out from the constant attacks. "Curses, you bunch of ants, dare to harm me…"
The ferociousness of the fox demon was revealed, and black demonic scars began to surface on her face and body. She looked absolutely terrifying. Her small cherry-like lips earlier tore open from two sides, revealing a mouthful of ferociously sharp teeth. For a moment, her demonic aura rushed towards the sky, and the black demonic aura heavily expanded, causing the formation to soon break.
Wang Xuzhi spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, the sword formation showed signs of collapsing.
"Little wimp!" Zhu Yao was anxious. If the fox demon were to escape from the formation, they would definitely die! Screw this! She rapidly circulated all of the spiritual energy in her body. Even though her spiritual energy was not fully recovered, she had no choice but to risk using another "Heavenfall".
Zhu Yao raised her hands up high. The clouds began to surge, white flashes of lightning could be faintly seen, and it looked as though the Heavenly Lightning was about to come striking down. However, just a single Heavenly Lightning, was incapable of killing the fox demon.
Zhu Yao had no choice but to turn her head, and shout towards the person at the back. "Xiao Yi, release your Sword Intent!" After saying that, she stretched her hands towards the sky, and a ray of Heavenly Lightning descended from the skies.
Xiao Yi was stunned. Looking at her with a face of disbelief, he stood there dumbfoundedly.
"What the hell are you looking at, hurry and release it, I… Puah!" Before she could finish what she wanted to say, she felt a chill at her chest. The fox demon which had been struck by a Heavenly Lightning earlier broke through the formation, and pierced through Zhu Yao with her claw. Only then did Xiao Yi's sword intent with carried absolute sharpness descend from the skies.
The hell you hesitated for!?
What a pig-like party member¹. This was the only thought Zhu Yao had before she died.
Zhu Yao collapsed! Series end!
My ass!!
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Zhu Yao died. She never had a moment where she was clearly aware of the truth that she had died.
Because…
The hell!? Why were there the four words "Dead to the Extreme" on her corpse!? Why was the fatal injury on her chest covered in mosaic!? Was this a prank made by the Creator? Show yourself, I guarantee I won't beat you to death!
And what was up with the chat window that suddenly popped out in front of her? It really looked exactly like the chat window on a computer. Such a thing suddenly appeared before her eyes, and on it, it clearly stated. "You're already dead to the extreme, do you wish to return to the resurrection point?" And below it, were two buttons. 'Yes' and 'Yes'.
This sort of net-game visual sense, what happened to it being a Xianxia? And the hell was it playing at with the two 'Yes' options? Was there really a point in having these options?
Zhu Yao, who was in the soul state, roared.
But the rest who were present, did not seem to be able to see her current situation, nor were they able to see the words on her corpse. The fox demon was already dead, while Wang Xuzhi was currently hugging her body, rapidly inserting his spiritual energy into her wound, as though he was trying to heal her injuries. Unfortunately, she was already dead, so what use was there in healing her? The spiritual energy that he inserted, was basically unable to stay in her wound, and instantly dispersed into the air.
"It can't be. Big sister Zhu Yao, nothing can happen to you." Wang Xuzhi robotically repeated his actions, as he murmured to himself, he completely did not have the intention to stop at all. It was as though as, other than doing that, he could not think of any other options. However, the body in his hands, became colder by the second.
Only when he could no longer release any spiritual energy, did his mind finally begin to collapse. "Big sister Zhu Yao, you promised that you would protect me forever. You promised me! How could you…"
This was the first time Zhu Yao saw Wang Xuzhi cry. No matter was it the cheeky and mischievous spoiled brat in the past, or the current shy and firm young man now, he had never shed a single tear in front of her. And now, he was crying like a little child.
Zhu Yao walked closer, and thought of stroking his head, however, the chat window which had been ignored by her began to tremble violently. As though the system had entered an endless loop, more and more of the same chat window constantly popped out.
Not even a moment later, her entire vicinity was completely filled with layers and layers of chat windows. Hey, even if you're trying to exert your presence, you can't do it this way. What's with this broken system!?
Zhu Yao reflexively waved her hands about, trying to push away the chat windows in front of her, however, she heard a "Ting" sound next to her ear. One of the "Yes" button on a chat window was pressed down. Zhu Yao simply felt her a tremble in her heart. No, wait. I didn't choose anything, it's an operational error. Is there still time to withdraw my selection?
Evidently, it was too late, because, in an instant, everything in front of her was cleared off. Not only the chat windows, even Wang Xuzhi and the rest had disappeared. Her surroundings were completely dark. Only a single thing was left. Below her vision, was a faintly running…
The hell!? Why is there a loading bar!?
Zhu Yao felt that, ever since she had crossed over into this world, the possibility of the limits which she had to constantly break through, might be endless. Her heart was tired!
The loading bar progressed very quickly, and not even a moment later, she simply felt a white light flashing past. A white wall suddenly appeared in front of her, and above the wall, was a face that took up half the sky. The face was currently looking at her very kindly. She curiously reached out her hand, wanting to touch that face. However, her hand actually made contact with the wall, and then, her hand sank into it, her mouth was suddenly poured with large amount of liquid.
She choked for a moment, and wanted to ask what was going on. However, what she let out was the weak sniffling cry of a little child.
...
"Alright, alright, don't cry. You little child, there's no one here that will snatch it away from you, why the rush?" The woman gently wiped her lips, and softly coaxed her.
Only then did Zhu Yao finally realize her current situation. She actually turned into an infant! The meat wall she touched earlier, was actually the woman's breasts, and the thing that was contained in her mouth was… Zhu Yao reflexively spit it out, and momentarily felt like she had molested a good and honest woman.
What happened to the resurrection point she was promised with? Shouldn't her resurrection point be that little village? Currently, she was evidently given a new life. From crossing into another world with her body, to crossing with her soul, was it really alright to change her setting like this?
"Eh? Why aren't you drinking anymore?" The woman saw her dodging away, and persistently tried to stuff her "breast weapon" into Zhu Yao's mouth. Why would Zhu Yao be willing? Hence, she constantly dodged. When the woman saw Zhu Yao like this, she thought that Zhu Yao was full, then, she began to wear her clothes properly.
After helping to arrange Zhu Yao's clothes properly, she then placed her into the cradle at the side.
Zhu Yao curiously inspected her surroundings, and realized she was still in ancient times. The room had an ancient color and smell, but it was more superior than the one she had in the little village back then. Because, just by this cradle of hers, it looked extremely exquisite.
"Attendants!" The woman, who seemed to had the role of her mother, shouted to the door, and four to five people who looked like maids walked in and greeted the woman.
It seemed like her household was very rich.
"Take the little miss for a walk around the courtyard, I will come over in a moment." The woman instructed, and then, she brought one of the maids as she walked into one of the rooms. It seemed like she went to change her clothes.
Zhu Yao had always been someone with great adaptability. To her current situation, as an infant, she had no ability to resist, hence, she calmly decided to adapt.
Although she would still occasionally think of her master and Wang Xuzhi, perhaps, they were no longer in the same world. Her current life was rather good as well, as she was a daughter of a rich family. Her parents treated her like she was a treasure, and they would not even leave jobs like feeding her milk to others.
She imagined that, when she grow up, she could completely walk with her head held high. Back then, the Xianxia world was filled with killing motives everywhere, and she could be killed by demons, monsters or whatever if she was not careful. When she thought of this point, she momentarily felt extremely at ease.
She comfortably rolled around on the patch of grass. She was about to live a new life. For a moment, she felt as though the flowers had begun to smell great, the grass had become greener, the clouds had become whiter, and the person flying in the sky was…
The hell!? Why the hell was there someone flying in the sky!? What happened to leaving the Xianxia world she was promised with!?
Wait a minute, that figure, seemed to be charging towards her!
Not a moment later, standing five steps away from her, was someone in a familiar white robe. Although he was world-breakingly handsome, he always had that icy expression on his face, and had never revealed a single emotion.
Master… (For a moment, she had a lot of things to retort about, but she did not know where to begin. )
Yu Yan looked directly at her in the eyes.
She looked directly at her master in the eyes as well.
The two of them looked at each other.
None of them spoke up.
Zhu Yao suddenly felt that there was completely no point in looking at each other like this. Although she did not know why her master would suddenly appear her, looking at his expression, he had yet to recognize her. She was currently an infant who was not even a year old, so, she was basically unable to speak, let alone explaining her situation.
"Were you abandoned?" Yu Yan finally spoke up.
Zhu Yao was startled. Eh? What do you mean?
"Are you an orphan?" Yu Yan continued to ask.
"..." Zhu Yao's expression completely darkened. Have you ever seen an orphan in her own house's courtyard?
"Don't worry, I will be your family."
What? Her mother was currently sitting not far away, you know.
"I shall take you as my disciple." Yu Yan completely did not have the intention to wait for her answer, and walked over to her.
Zhu yao finally understood what he was trying to do, as she began to pedal her small legs, planning to crawl away. Mama, there's a strange uncle here, trying to abduct your daughter.
But, how could the small arms and legs of an infant crawl faster than a practitioner who had cultivated for ten thousands of years? In the next moment, she was already carried up, and the certain master announced with a stern expression.
"From today onwards, I'm your master."
Hey, don't decide for someone else. At least, ask for my mother's opinion first.
"Mn. Since you have agreed as well, then follow me back to the Jade Forest Mountain."
What? Who the hell agreed!? Haa~
Master, is it really alright for you to abduct an immature infant during broad daylight?
Unfortunately, Yu Yan could not hear the roar in her inner heart. Summoning his flying sword, his figure flashed, bringing along Zhu Yao who was in an infant state, they instantly disappeared into the skies.
Zhu Yao, who completely did not have the strength to resist, simply could not hold it in any longer. Raising her small leg, she stepped on her master's icy face which remained unchanged for ten thousand years.
I don't want to cultivate into a deity at all, hey!
