Chapter 14 Bloodshed Through Lips: It's Hard to Remain a Bystander
Huali stared in horror at the Buddha's face as it drew ever closer, the crimson lines of Gu swirling in his eyes, both alluring and dangerous.
As his palm tightened, Huali gasped for breath, managing to squeeze out a few words through gritted teeth: "Uh... Ren... Zhuo... let go..."
The blood rain from the Sky-Piercing Maiden's self-destruction dripped continuously onto Lian Zhuo's handsome face, making him appear like a fallen god. He watched with amusement as Hua Li tried to struggle, his thumb gently stroking the girl's Adam's apple, his eyes narrowing like a cat teasing a mouse.
This is not lotus root at all.
"Who...are you?" Huali struggled to pry open the fingers on her neck. Just as she was about to suffocate, the Buddhist prayer beads tied with red thread on her wrist suddenly became hot.
Lian Zhuo's blood-red vertical pupils shrank sharply, and she threw Hua Li to the ground.
Having regained her freedom, Huali desperately gulped for fresh air and took off running, only to be grabbed by the back of her collar. A ghostly aura mixed with the fragrance of Udumbara flowers pressed against her back, and she chuckled, "Trying to run?"
Karin is such a jerk!
Who would have thought that after killing Tingnu, the greatest danger would be right beside them?
"Brother, you should have said you had schizophrenia earlier. I wasn't prepared at all."
Lian Zhuo gently pressed his breath against Hua Li's neck, the sweet and pungent smell of blood making his mouth water.
Not wanting to waste any more words with him, he extended his scarlet tongue and gently licked it, "Let me have a taste..."
"Lian Zhuo, wake up!"
The smooth, slippery sensation on her tongue made Karin's eyes widen. Without thinking, she summoned an earth-type card, "Jizo Entanglement, play!"
The ground cracked, and the rock spikes transformed into earth dragons once more, rushing over from behind Lianzhuo.
Huali only felt a sneer in her ear, and breath sprayed on her earlobe. Lianzhuo didn't even raise his head before the earth dragon was shattered and disappeared.
Instant kill.
This terrifying strength caused Huali to spit out a mouthful of blood.
She quickly covered her mouth, but it was too late. Lian Zhuo, attracted by the smell of blood, smiled with pleasure and bit down on Hua Li's nape.
"Karin! We've come to save you!"
Tang Wanwan fought off the last demonic beast, grabbed her sword, and rushed towards the mountaintop. Her sharp gaze fell silent the moment she saw the scene before her.
Her pupils dilated in shock, and she trembled as she extended a finger. "In broad daylight, what are you two doing?"
Before the collapsed Goddess Temple, Lianzhuo, a Buddhist monk, held Huali tightly from behind, their necks intertwined in a passionate embrace. Huali was covered by Lianzhuo's blood-stained monk's robe, her black hair flowing freely, revealing one of her smooth shoulders.
Tang Wanwan never imagined that one day she would utter the four words "What kind of behavior is this!"
"Tang Wanwan, save me!" Hua Li's eyes gleamed. "Lian Zhuo has gone mad, she's going to eat me!"
Just as Tang Wanwan was about to cover her eyes and turn away, she heard Huali's cry for help. She blinked her clear eyes and realized that something was wrong.
She swiftly threw the spirit sword in her hand, and Lian Zhuo waved it away impatiently.
Tang Wanwan: "Mysterious Phoenix Sword, break!"
The winding flames ignited in an instant, and the pure spiritual fire caused the Gu poison on Lian Zhuo's body to pause for a moment.
Then, a barrage of magical artifacts rained down on Lian Zhuo as if they were free.
Seizing the opportunity, Huali crouched down, escaped his embrace, and ran away.
"Wanwan is awesome! Where's Mo Ziyan? Why are you alone?" Huali ran to her side in a few steps. "Lianzhuo seems to be controlled by something. I suspect that after Tingnu self-destructed, the thing that was controlling her entered Lianzhuo's body."
Tang Wanwan reached out and took back the Xuanfeng Sword, then pulled Huali and ran quickly up the mountain. "The spirit beasts below have suddenly become active, and a large wave of demonic beasts has arrived. Senior Brother Ziyan and Zhu Qimu are working together to fight them off."
“We followed your marks all the way to the dungeon below the Temple of the Goddess and found that there were still some girls imprisoned there. Zhu Qi used a talisman to isolate them from the outside world and hid there without being discovered.”
"Host!" A furry head popped out from behind Tang Wanwan. "Are you alright?"
"Your cat was being chased by a black umbrella and was howling in pain. I rescued it too, so here it is back with you."
After throwing Ao Bai to her, Tang Wanwan made a hand seal, and the Xuanfeng Sword hovered at their feet. Just as they were about to fly on the sword, danger quietly approached from behind.
Huali turned around, and Yuexia Lianzhuo, like a vampire, crushed the last magical artifact. His chanting voice was as cold as ice, "Golden Body Devouring Demon Mantra, slay!"
Her heart felt like it was being squeezed by an invisible hand. Huali's eyes widened, and blood dripped from her lips.
This was the closest she ever came to death.
Ao Bai screamed, "Holy crap, this chosen one is actually a twin lotus! We must awaken his Buddha-nature, or the host will die!"
"This...needless to say, I saw it a long time ago. The problem...is...the solution."
Tang Wanwan was also seriously injured. She spat out a mouthful of blood and stood up, using the Xuanfeng Sword for support. "This is bad. I couldn't even tell his cultivation level..."
Lian Zhuo was about to take a step when she suddenly realized something and turned to look into the distance.
A sudden gust of wind arose, and wings wreathed in flames spread, obscuring the moon and casting a massive shadow in the sky. A clear cry rang out, and a fireball, like a meteor, struck the lotus leaves on the ground.
Lian Zhuo frowned and reached out to create a barrier. The spiritual energy clashed with the firelight, exploding into a burst of golden-red fireworks.
"What is this thing again?" Huali wiped the blood from the corner of her lips, practically going crazy.
It never ends. One is killed and another one comes. Is she having some bad luck lately?
Tang Wanwan gasped, "It's Bifang. I've read about it in ancient books. Bifang is like a celestial being with only one leg. Its feathers are mainly blue with red spots. When it travels, it is surrounded by flames and can control fire."
Huali clutched her chest and nervously looked towards Lianzhuo.
His demonic transformation was so sudden that Huali only just began to feel it, and the wounds on her neck were burning with pain.
The sensation of being licked on the back of my neck is still there.
Bifang opened its mouth and spewed out a mouthful of flames, "You despicable villains, how dare you take advantage of my injury to forcibly draw my blood! This is a great disgrace, I will surely tear you to pieces!"
The poison raged in his meridians, and Lian Zhuo's blood was as hot as boiling water. His whole body exuded a strong killing intent. His eyes were bloodshot, and a lotus pattern, half red and half white, condensed between his brows.
The spiritual energy restriction rapidly impacted his heart, causing his cultivation to surge. With just one move, he could slaughter all living beings within a hundred miles.
Just as he was about to reach the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, his vertical pupils suddenly trembled, "No..."
With her reason returning, Lian Zhuo quickly formed hand seals, switching from offense to defense. After resisting several attacks, she staggered and knelt on one knee, vomiting a mouthful of blood.
Huali stood up abruptly. Lianzhuo's white clothes were completely soaked in blood, revealing a hideous wound on his shoulder.
bite--
The lost health points returned to their peak at this moment, and Huali looked at Aobai in surprise.
Ao Bai exclaimed with delight, "Mission One: Disguising yourself as a bride at Baiyun Mountain and teaming up with the Chosen One to capture a demon is complete. Host's health points have doubled, and half a star has been lit up."
It's like a pillow being delivered to someone who's just fallen asleep!
Huali felt an inexhaustible surge of energy within her. Seeing the Bifang above her spewing flames again, she left behind the words, "Wanwan, go find help quickly. I'm going to help Lianzhuo," and ran off into the distance.
Tang Wanwan was shocked. Before she could even utter the words, "What help can a mortal like you be?", she saw Huali wave her card, and the earth dragon burst out of the ground, knocking Bifang away.
Tang Wanwan: "......"
"Lian Zhuo, are you alright?"
Lian Zhuo's gaze swept over the pinch marks on her neck, and a flash of anger quickly appeared in her eyes. She shook her head.
Alright, she wasn't wrong after all, the taciturn guy is back.
Bifang, enraged, smashed the earth dragon in its teeth: "So you have helpers too? Then I'll send you all on your way!"
"Buddha's Bone Cage, freeze!" After blocking a wave of attacks, Huali helped Lianzhuo up and quickly ran towards the mountaintop. "Hold on, someone will come to rescue us soon."
Lian Zhuo remained silent, her eyes constantly shifting.
One second his bloodshot eyes were greedily fixed on Karin's neck, the next second they were forcibly turned into anger.
Karin was unaware of all this; she simply kept blocking attacks along the way, and by the time she reached the summit with her doubled full health, half of it was gone.
Bi Fang was furious at this unexpected attack, and his attacks became more and more ferocious.
Seeing that there was no time to avoid the flames, Huali instinctively closed her eyes and stood in front of Lianzhuo, but someone else was faster than her.
Lian Zhuo hugged Hua Li from behind, and with a turn of his feet, flames instantly struck his back.
"Lotus Wash!"
Lian Zhuo coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed weakly onto Hua Li.
"Ding—Mission Two activated: Suppress the Gu poison of the Chosen One and escape from Bi Fang's clutches. Mission reward: half a star." Ao Bai's voice came from not far away. "The host is from another world and is not controlled by the Gu poison. Your blood can save him!"
Blood? !
Bifang laughed heartily after its successful attack, flapping its fiery wings and using the wind to force Huali and Lianzhuo back to the mountain peak. Huali turned around and saw a bottomless cliff below.
"Lian Zhuo... quickly drink my blood."
Despite the pain, Karin brought her injured arm to his mouth, while Renju weakly trembled her eyelashes and turned her head to the other side.
Huali was absolutely furious with this stubborn donkey!
Without hesitation, she lowered her head and sucked a mouthful of blood. To Lian Zhuo's astonishment, she cupped his face and kissed him.
