144: Chapter 144 The Poison Arrow Saint
"Not good!" Lotus felt her heart tighten.
She hurriedly blocked with her longsword and shouted urgently to Little Yue beside her.
"Little Yue, hurry and stand behind me!"
Immediately, she swept her gaze over the group of Old Ancestors and said in a deep voice, "The same goes for you all!"
Everyone instantly understood and hurriedly retreated, hiding behind Lotus.
"Clang!" With a crisp sound, the longsword in Lotus's hand was forcefully snapped in two by Master Miaoxian's Sword Qi.
"Pfft!" The aftermath of the Sword Qi injured Lotus. She suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Those behind her were not spared, and were similarly shaken by the aftermath, their Qi and blood churning. They spat out blood one after another, their faces turning pale instantly.
"What do we do?" Queen of Dayue wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her face as pale as paper.
"Why hasn't Peak Master Miaoxian recovered yet?" She looked at Master Miaoxian, who was still acting wildly in mid-air, her eyes complex.
This was supposed to be a perfectly fine trip to the imperial city, just wanting to spend time cultivating a relationship with Xiang Tian. She hadn't expected such a huge mess to break out.
"Why is Peak Master Miaoxian so strong!" Queen of Dayue took a deep breath, unable to believe it.
"This might be another state of hers!" Lotus caught her breath and said in a deep voice.
She had always heard that Master Miaoxian's strength was formidable, but she had never imagined that Master Miaoxian could be this strong.
Master Miaoxian paused in mid-air for a few breaths, the crimson in her eyes not fading in the slightest. She shouted again, "Kill!"
Waving the Seven Kill Sword in her hand, another sharp Sword Qi slashed towards the group.
"Spread out!" Lotus, fighting through her injuries, shouted sharply. She was the first to flash her figure, dodging the Sword Qi attack.
Everyone hurriedly scattered as instructed, each looking for cover.
The time it takes to burn an incense stick passed in a flash. Lotus's injuries had worsened. She could no longer hold on.
"Pfft~" She spat out another mouthful of blood, her body falling like a kite with a broken string.
"Bang!" Lotus slammed heavily into the ground. She crashed into a deep pit, and dust filled the air.
"President~!" Upon seeing this, Hall Master of Lianhua Society, Feng Jiu, and the other Disciples of the Lotus Society all shouted out in alarm.
They wanted to rush forward, but were blocked by the surrounding Qi energy and could not get close at all.
"You... you all don't come over." Lotus struggled to stand up from the deep pit, her clothes stained with blood. Her Aura was weak, but she was still holding on.
Her gaze turned towards Xiang Tian's direction, and she said in a deep voice, "Protect... protect Xiang Tian well for me."
As soon as she finished speaking, her figure flickered again. Exhausting her last bit of strength, she flew back into mid-air. She continued to stand in front of everyone, confronting Master Miaoxian.
"This..." Watching Lotus's blood-stained figure, Xiang Tian felt a mix of emotions in his heart. There was helplessness, but even more, it was filled with deep gratitude. Lotus was risking her life to protect him.
"System, do you have a way to make Master return to normal?" Xiang Tian was truly at his wit's end and could only silently recite in his heart. He sought help from this System that always liked to extort him. Even if he had to pay a price, he would not hesitate.
[Host, no need to worry, the problem will be solved immediately.] The System's voice echoed in his mind, its tone lazy. It even carried a hint of a yawn from just waking up.
"There's a turning point?" Xiang Tian's eyes lit up, and his suspended heart instantly settled for the most part. With this sentence from the System, he had confidence. This round was secure!
But in the high sky, Master Miaoxian was still roaring wildly. "Kill!" The Seven Kill Sword in her hand swung faster and faster, and the Sword Qi became increasingly sharp.
Queen of Dayue and the group of Old Ancestors were already exhausted. Covered in injuries, they collapsed on the ground, unable to move.
"Xiang Tian, I might... not be able to go back with you." Queen of Dayue looked towards Xiang Tian's direction, her voice weak. Then she closed her eyes and completely passed out.
The other Old Ancestors had also long since passed out on the ground, their breathing faint.
"Master Miaoxian, what is wrong with you? Hurry up and wake up for me!" Lotus, holding on with her last bit of strength, shouted sharply at Master Miaoxian. But Master Miaoxian remained unmoved.
"Boom!" Master Miaoxian snorted coldly, and the Seven Kill Sword in her hand swept out. A massive red Sword Qi whistled over, heading straight for Lotus's face. Its power was even greater than before.
"Not good!" Lotus's brows knitted together, her expression grave to the extreme. Fighting until this moment, she was already at the end of her rope. How could she still have the strength to block this fatal blow?
Looking at the incoming Sword Qi, Lotus felt a sense of despair. She could only close her eyes and wait for death to descend.
Just at this critical moment. "Bang!" That fatal red Sword Qi was unexpectedly blocked by someone.
Everyone was stunned and looked up one after another. They saw a slender figure standing in front of Lotus. It was a woman.
She was dressed in a tight black suit, perfectly outlining her slim and sexy figure. Her temperament was cold, and her whole body radiated an Aura that warned strangers to stay away.
"I am an Alliance Envoy. Today, there is endless private fighting here, disturbing the order of heaven and earth. I will arrest you all." The woman in black had a cold tone.
She took out a palm-sized golden token. On the token, a large "Alliance" character was clearly engraved. It shone with golden light and had an imposing Aura.
"Kill!" Master Miaoxian's eyes were still crimson, and she shouted sharply at the woman in black. Waving the Seven Kill Sword in her hand, she slashed towards her.
"Hmph! You don't know what's good for you." The Alliance Envoy snorted coldly. With a look of disdain, she flipped her hand. A golden shackle was conjured out of thin air, carrying immense pressure, and flew instantly towards Master Miaoxian.
"Click!" The golden shackles precisely locked Master Miaoxian's hands and feet. The golden light bursting from the shackles instantly suppressed the Killing Intent and cultivation around Master Miaoxian. The massive Aura on her body instantly vanished. Her whole body fell softly, unconscious.
Having dealt with Master Miaoxian, the Alliance Envoy swept her gaze one by one over Lotus and the group of unconscious people lying on the ground.
"You all, come with me and follow me back to the Cultivator Alliance to accept interrogation."
"Just because you are an envoy, does that make you amazing? By what right do you want to take away my Master!" Seeing this, Xiang Tian immediately stepped forward. Once captured, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven to get out again.
"Hmm?" The Alliance Envoy looked down at Xiang Tian, her eyes full of disdain. Xiang Tian's cultivation was truly too low. In her eyes, he was just an insignificant little fellow, not worth paying attention to at all.
"Little fellow, for the sake of your filial piety, this Envoy will not argue with you. Hurry and move aside."
"You say you'll take them away, so you will?" Xiang Tian did not give way at all. "My Master was just controlled by negative emotions and lost control. She didn't intend to fight, this was not her intention!"
He held a glimmer of hope, wishing the Envoy could show mercy. But the Alliance Envoy remained unmoved, her tone becoming increasingly cold.
"Fighting is fighting. If you disturb the order, you must accept punishment. If you dare to talk nonsense again, this Envoy will take you back along with them and deal with you severely!"
"I insist on stopping you!" Xiang Tian snorted coldly, his eyes firm. Even if he knew the disparity in their strength, he would never watch his Master be taken away.
"Looking to die?" The Alliance Envoy's eyes sharpened, cold light radiating. Her whole body emitted a sharp Killing Intent, pressing directly towards Xiang Tian.
"Hehe! I'm not afraid of you!" Xiang Tian did not retreat at all, his tone tough. No matter the cost, he could not let this so-called Envoy take away Master Miaoxian, who had sincerely taken him as her Disciple.
Although the time since he became her Disciple was still short, he saw Master Miaoxian's intentions towards him, and he kept it in his heart.
"System, hurry and stop this woman!" Xiang Tian confronted the Alliance Envoy on the surface, but secretly, he was urgently calling the System in his heart.
[Host, don't worry, watch this System operate!] As soon as the System's voice fell, a flash of light passed. The System instantly transformed into a pretty girl, floating around Xiang Tian.
She pointed her finger gently, and a soft beam of light shot out instantly. It landed on the Little Frog on Bai Yu's shoulder.
Immediately after, a dazzling green light burst out from the Little Frog. It shot straight into the sky, the light brilliant, illuminating the entire sky.
At the same time, on a mountain not far from here, a man with a frog head and human body was standing on the mountain peak, feeling that familiar green light.
His brows suddenly locked tight, and a flash of urgency appeared in his eyes. "Hmm? That is... Little Xian's Aura!"
His figure flashed, turning into a green light. He sped towards the direction where the green light burst forth, his speed astonishingly fast.
Xiang Tian looked at the System with a confused face. He looked at the Little Frog on his shoulder, his face full of bewilderment. What kind of operation was this? He really couldn't see through the System's intentions.
Meanwhile, the Alliance Envoy in mid-air also knitted her brows tightly. Her gaze locked firmly onto the Little Frog, a flash of surprise appearing in her eyes.
Then she said in a deep voice, "This is... a Poison Dart Frog of the Yao Race?" Relying on her knowledge, she quickly recognized the origin of the Little Frog.
"Hmph! Knowing I am a Poison Dart Frog, hurry up and be polite to my Master!" The Little Frog raised its small head. It snorted coldly at the Alliance Envoy, its tone arrogant.
"Do you want to laugh this Envoy to death?" Upon hearing this, the Alliance Envoy couldn't help but laugh loudly. "A Little Frog in the Qi Condensation Realm dares to boast in front of this Envoy; it is simply ignorant of the height of the sky and the depth of the earth!"
The Alliance Envoy lifted her finger lightly. With a point, a sharp golden beam of light shot out instantly, heading straight for the Little Frog.
"Bang!" Just when everyone thought that the beam of light would definitely hit the Little Frog and severely injure it, a tall figure suddenly appeared out of thin air, blocking in front of the Little Frog.
It forcefully blocked the golden beam of light back. The beam rebounded, hitting the Alliance Envoy hard. It made her figure stagger back a few steps, her face instantly sinking.
Everyone was stunned and looked up one after another. When they saw the appearance of the person who had arrived, they were even more shocked. This was not a human, but a man with a frog head and human body. His whole body radiated immense Demonic Qi, his Aura formidable, making one's heart palpitate.
"Arrow-Poison Demon Sage!" The Alliance Envoy steadied her figure, and after seeing who it was, her expression changed drastically. A flash of wariness even crossed her eyes. She had never expected to encounter the Arrow-Poison Demon Sage here. This existence, with a revered status and formidable strength among the Yao Race.
"Audacious human, you actually dare to hurt my daughter!" The Arrow-Poison Demon Sage ignored the Alliance Envoy's wariness. His gaze stared fixedly at her, his tone cold. The Demonic Qi around his body became increasingly thick, and his Killing Intent was chilling.
"Father~!" The Little Frog saw the man with the frog head and human body, its voice soft and tender, filled with grievances.
"Little Xian, it's good that you are okay." The Arrow-Poison Demon Sage took the Little Frog into his arms. His tone instantly softened, and he pretended to be angry as he reprimanded it. "I told you not to be playful, not to wander into teleportation arrays, but you wouldn't listen. Now you know the danger, right?"
"Father, I..." The Little Frog lowered its head and whispered a few words of defense. Then it raised its head and simply recounted to the Arrow-Poison Demon Sage how Xiang Tian had saved it and how he had taken care of it.
"What did you say? You actually recognized him as your Master!!!" The Arrow-Poison Demon Sage was furious. His originally green face instantly flushed red with anger.
"Father, don't rush to be angry yet." The Little Frog placed her gaze on the Alliance Envoy. She stood on the Arrow-Poison Demon Sage's shoulder, waving her little claws. "You first eliminate this bad woman; she wants to capture my benefactor, and also capture my benefactor's Master!" She pointed at the Alliance Envoy, saying indignantly.
"A mere human female Cultivator, yet she dares to be presumptuous in front of my Yao Race!" The Arrow-Poison Demon Sage heard this, his anger even greater. "You want to kill my daughter, and also make things difficult for my benefactor; this debt, I will settle with you today!"
The Alliance Envoy's expression became increasingly ugly, and she forced down the wariness in her heart. She said in a deep voice, "Arrow-Poison Demon Sage, don't forget, this is the human territory, not your Yao domain! I am an Alliance Envoy, executing Alliance official business. You had better not interfere, otherwise, it will be being an enemy to the entire Cultivator Alliance!"
"So what if I am an enemy to the Cultivator Alliance?" The Arrow-Poison Demon Sage snorted coldly. "You want to kill my daughter, this is a grudge that will not end until one of us dies! If I don't kill you today, how will my Yao Race stand in Lingyun Continent in the future?"
The Demonic Qi around the Arrow-Poison Demon Sage surged again, and the massive pressure swept across the entire scene. It collided with the golden pressure on the Alliance Envoy. A new big battle was about to break out.
