143: A brick knocked down
“Heavenly Demon General, please act and slay this woman!”
The Heavenly Demon General looked at Yaoyao, appreciating her more and more, and finally couldn't help but say, “Little girl, I’ll give you one last chance.”
“Are you willing to join us?”
Yaoyao couldn't help but mock, “You cowardly fellow, a rat only fit to live in the shadows, I disdain to join you.”
“Very well! You are very well!”
The Heavenly Demon General’s patience was limited; the reason he had babbled for so long was out of a deep appreciation for talent.
People like Yaoyao were more suitable to join them.
Since Yaoyao disagreed, he could only send her to her death.
“Darkness Devour, die!”
Endless darkness surged towards Yaoyao, and to her horror, these dark powers were continuously devouring her spiritual power and blood.
That wasn't all; the Heavenly Devil Saint Child seized the opportunity and continuously ambushed Yaoyao.
Yaoyao had to not only defend against the dark power but also deal with the Heavenly Devil Saint Child’s attacks, becoming overwhelmed for a time.
On the Flying Ship Warship high in the sky, Mei Niang watched excitedly, pulling Li Daoxuan and saying, “Quickly save that girl! She’s about to collapse.”
Li Daoxuan calmly said, “Wait a little longer.”
Since it involved the Demon Race, Li Daoxuan definitely had to intervene. He was absolutely not coveting the girl's beauty and talent, wanting her to bear his children.
The Heavenly Demon General had not used his full power at all; at this moment, Yaoyao could only defend.
Want to run? No way!
This space had been sealed by the Heavenly Demon General, giving Yaoyao no chance to escape.
With the Demon Race reappearing, the fewer people who knew the news, the better. After all, the Demon Race was not fully prepared yet and could only secretly accumulate strength.
“Hahahaha... Yaoyao, I never thought you’d have a day like this.”
The Heavenly Devil Saint Child was overjoyed. Seeing that Yaoyao was about to be finished, he felt like he was back in action.
On the Flying Ship Warship, Li Daoxuan had been studying the Heavenly Demon General. The Demon Race had many methods and were very strange. Since Li Daoxuan decided to act, he had to be fully prepared.
Mei Niang couldn't help but urge again, “What are you still waiting for?”
“Waiting for her to faint!”
“Ah?”
Li Daoxuan had too many secrets. He and Yaoyao didn't know each other and certainly didn't trust each other. It was better to wait until she fainted before saving her.
Otherwise, Yaoyao might treat him as an enemy as well.
Time passed by minute by minute. At this moment, Yaoyao was like a candle in the wind, flickering precariously.
Li Daoxuan felt it was almost time.
“Mei Niang, wait for me here. I’m going to save her.”
“Okay! Be sure to be careful. If it’s impossible, then run quickly,” Mei Niang instructed.
For safety, Li Daoxuan directly used the Tongtian Pagoda.
After entering the Tongtian Pagoda and escaping into the Void Realm, he slowly approached the battlefield. To Li Daoxuan's speechlessness, Yaoyao was truly resilient.
No matter how many times she was hit, she just wouldn't fall down.
Li Daoxuan watched in shock; she was practically an unkillable cockroach.
After some more time, Li Daoxuan couldn't help but curse the Heavenly Devil Saint Child for being useless; the Heavenly Devil Saint Child truly was useless.
Li Daoxuan really couldn't stand it anymore, and he decided to help the Heavenly Devil Saint Child.
The Heavenly Demon General nearby had only used a Domain skill and then hadn't attacked again, merely staying by the side to prevent Yaoyao from escaping.
Li Daoxuan felt that delay would lead to complications. What if he was discovered by the Heavenly Demon General? Then...
Li Daoxuan quietly came behind Yaoyao, then quickly pulled out a... brick, and gave her a blow to the back of the head.
“Ouch! Which bastard ambushed this old...” The sound abruptly stopped.
Li Daoxuan, clad in a black robe concealing his appearance and hiding his Qi, flashed away, and Yaoyao disappeared with him.
The Heavenly Devil Saint Child was instantly stunned. Was this an enemy or a friend?
That person was wearing the same black robe as the Heavenly Demon General, so maybe, probably, possibly, he was one of their own???
The Heavenly Devil Saint Child looked at the Heavenly Demon General, who couldn't help but curse, “Why are you looking at me? I don’t know that person either!”
Suddenly, a sharp glint flashed in the Heavenly Demon General’s eyes, and he looked up into the distance.
“Hehehe ~ What a brilliant concealment method, what an interesting fellow...”
The Heavenly Devil Saint Child said in surprise, “Heavenly Demon General, did you find them? Should we go after them?”
The Heavenly Demon General cursed loudly again, “Chase? They’re long gone. Chase your grandpa!”
Before he finished speaking, the Heavenly Demon General’s figure disappeared. Of course, he wasn't going after Li Daoxuan, but rather leaving directly.
On the Flying Ship Warship, Li Daoxuan breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but say, “That guy’s sense of smell is really keen. He still detected the Flying Ship Warship the moment it started.”
Mei Niang worried, “Will he chase after us?”
“Don’t worry! Even if he chases, we’re not afraid.”
Li Daoxuan roughly estimated the Heavenly Demon General’s strength; he certainly hadn't reached the Crossing Tribulation Stage. Li Daoxuan was only wary of his strange methods.
Otherwise, he would definitely have confronted him.
However, at this moment, Li Daoxuan’s Primordial Spirit Power had not yet recovered, and Li Daoxuan was not confident in being able to keep the Heavenly Demon General.
“By the way, what about the woman you rescued?”
“How is she?”
Li Daoxuan awkwardly said, “She should be fine, at most just a little disfigured, right?”
Li Daoxuan’s thoughts moved, and a fragile figure appeared, and then... then Mei Niang immediately covered her mouth.
“Cough cough cough...”
“Perhaps I was a little too heavy-handed just now,” Li Daoxuan couldn't help but explain.
Looking at the floating Yaoyao now, although she had many wounds all over her body, her face was still very soft and beautiful. Only the large ‘horn’ on the back of her head ruined the aesthetic.
This was all Li Daoxuan’s masterpiece. Fearing that one brick wouldn't knock her out, Li Daoxuan had specifically increased his strength.
Mei Niang teased, “I hope this girl doesn’t try to fight you the moment she wakes up.”
“Hiss~” Li Daoxuan couldn't help but shiver. Thinking about it, that was indeed a possibility.
“Let’s save her first!”
Li Daoxuan then took out a few Medicinal Pills and handed them to Mei Niang: “Give her these; she should wake up very soon.”
Mei Niang directly put the Medicinal Pills into Yaoyao’s mouth.
Sure enough, Yaoyao’s breathing quickly returned to normal, and the wounds on her body were slowly recovering.
However, she still didn't wake up!
Mei Niang couldn't help but say, “Did you hit her head too hard? Why hasn’t she woken up yet?”
“No, no, my brick strike was very precise.”
As time passed, Li Daoxuan even started to doubt himself. Had he not controlled the force of that brick well?
Li Daoxuan couldn't help but use his spiritual power to check. The girl’s injuries had recovered by seventy to eighty percent, it was just that her spiritual power consumption was quite large.
Li Daoxuan... purposely didn't give her Medicinal Pills to restore her spiritual power, the purpose of which was obvious.
He was really afraid that the girl would try to fight him the moment she woke up.
“Uh! Hiss! Ow, ow, ow!”
The woman suddenly opened her beautiful eyes, then sat up in one go. The first thing she did after getting up was to curse loudly:
“Which bastard dared to ambush this old hag?!”
