Worth it or Not
The sky-high light pillar was the clash of the pentachrome divine flames from the overpowering Divine Item that had devils limp on the ground and black beam. The three creatures that fled luckily escaped death thanks to their prior decision to retreat. Not even Yang Xiao would be a match against the monster even if he was armed with a Divine Item. The fight raged on for half a day. Mountains and Rivers Brocade faded quickly.
“Uncle Xiao, will Buddha Pagoda’s weapon spirit assist?”
“I think so… It guards the devil cave, so I doubt it’d be of much help even if it did help. If it used too much energy on assisting, the sealed devils would escape.”
The energy collected in the ocean of blood roiled dangerously. The three dragons were also fatigued due to their energy expenditure. One of them roared toward the sky, “Damned humans, it’s your turn to suffer!”
In unison, the three dragons mustered up everything they had for three consecutive destructive punches.
The figure in the pentachrome divine light weakly said, “Child, I’ve done my best… I’ve gone through too much of my Source over the ages as the guardian here.”
Yuan Xia: ”Do not waste any more energy, Elder. Be it fortune or misfortune, it is what fate has planned for me.”
Mountains and Rivers Brocade: “You are going to live a long life. There should be someone coming to your rescue. It is in your destiny’s hands now…”
A force entered the dimension as Yuan Xia went to reply. She jolted and reeled as though she was electrocuted and bled from her mouth. Mountains and Rivers Brocade vanished, allowing the black beam to penetrate her dimension.
“Hahaha, now die, Human!” shouted the devil dragons.
Yang Tian summoned Mountains and Rivers Cauldron. He slammed his foot onto the ground to propel himself up. He powered up every source of energy in his body to catch Yuan Xia. Feeling her cold hands had him fretting.
Yuan Xia glanced up at the familiar face and muttered under her breath, “Wh-what are you doing here?”
“I flew in from another world to rescue you before the long worm killed you.”
“Wha…” Yuan Xia’s chest thumped. She saw the rage in Yang Tian’s eyes and thundered, “Hurry out of here; you shouldn’t be here.”
Yang Tian shrugged with a grin. “But I am here, and there happens to be no way out.”
Yuan Xia inflated her cheeks and glared. The two landed in an amorous posture. She tried shoving him away, only to find she didn’t have any strength owing to the injury her Bloodline and body suffered.
The dragons laughed upon seeing miniature Yang Tian. They noticed he had Mountains and Rivers Cauldron on him. “Two weapons have been offered without us trying, hahaha!”
Yuan Xia bit down on her lip and looked at Yang Tian out the corner of her eyes. With a surge of wrestling emotions, she, in a shaky voice, inquired, “Was it worth it?”
“Yes!” Yang Tian asserted, glancing down to Yuan Xia with his smirk. “Sort of impossible to not be when I have you here in my arms.”
“Go die,” responded Yuan Xia, albeit grateful.
Strong girls need strong shoulders when they’re in trouble.
“You seem to have your priorities the wrong way around!” roared the three devil dragons.
A cauldron appeared in front of the ocean of blood out of the blue and blasted divine lights as well as played a divine song. Yang Xiao palmed the air, launching Mountains and Rivers Cauldron.
Creatures and human figures charged forth.
“Die!” brayed a devil dragon, punching Mountains and Rivers Cauldron.
Sparks flew. Creatures emerged from the cauldron to rip the ocean of blood. A golden-winged great peng dove toward the dragons. The energy expenditure left Yang Xiao’s divine soul fuzzy. Thankfully, the dragons were worn out enough for him to offer an effective resistance.
Yang Tian could tell the situation wouldn’t bode well if they didn’t put an end to it. He glanced over to the golden Buddha Pagoda and belted, “Elder, smash those three worms so that I can leave this place and help you find a disciple!”
The dragons found the “worm” insult intolerable. Yuan Xia covered her mouth to resist laughing at the hilarious insult as she glanced up to Yang Tian’s face.
