Chapter 192 It's really here. Sang Zhitao savored it carefully for a few moments...
Sang Zhitao savored it carefully for a few moments, then tentatively took a few bites before looking at the tentacles in front of her with great interest: "It's actually authentic octopus teppanyaki!"
While Qingyan was having a lively fight with several tentacles over there, Sang Zhitao was happily munching on a tentacle over here.
After she had finished eating the several charred tentacles around her, she looked thoughtfully at the white wine jelly-flavored tentacle that she had thrown away.
After thinking for a moment, she recited a spirit fire incantation, and a spirit fire the size of a candle flame appeared at her fingertips.
Carefully place it on the liquor-scented tentacles, and after grilling for a while, a strong aroma of roasted meat filled with the fragrance of liquor wafts to your nose.
She tentatively took a bite, her eyes lighting up with astonishing speed, and her bite became even faster.
After trying to grill other flavors of tentacles, she discovered that even the worst-tasting tentacles became delicious after grilling.
Unable to resist wiping the drool from the corner of her mouth, Sang Zhitao subconsciously made a hand gesture resembling "Hidden Universe in the Sleeve".
Just when everyone thought the hand seals were still ineffective, the nearby tentacles were suddenly drawn into their sleeves.
"Huh?" Sang Zhitao shook her sleeve in surprise before looking at Qingyan. "Qingyan, you can use the Hidden Universe in Your Sleeve now!"
Qingyan's eyes flashed, and he instantly realized what was happening. He immediately recited a sword incantation, and hundreds of sharp swords flew out from his sleeve, piercing straight into those finger-thick tentacles.
These spirit swords did not directly sever the tentacles; instead, they pinned them to the ground like nails.
The scene instantly resembled a forest of swords.
"So many were cut off in such a short time?" Sang Zhitao only realized after filling her stomach that she was surrounded by tentacles of this thickness.
She couldn't resist her curiosity and walked over.
Qingyan rubbed his temples: "These things can't be cut; no matter how much you cut, it will grow back."
Sang Zhitao couldn't help but pick one up and look at it: "It's much more energy-rich than the ones before."
Qingyan twirled his sword, his eyes flashing fiercely as he looked into the depths of the forest: "What kind of monster is that there?"
Sang Zhitao didn't reply to her; instead, she stuffed the tentacle in her hand into her mouth.
"How can you eat everything?!" Qingyan was so startled that she hurriedly tried to snatch it away.
Sang Zhitao dodged her movements, chewed a few times, and then said, "A very chewy spicy beef jerky."
As she spoke, she picked up another tentacle from the ground and put it in her mouth: "This one tastes like spicy strips, a bit like a certain hot mom's 'Drunken Tofu Skin' snack, I like it~"
"Wow, so many..." Sang Zhitao rubbed her stomach after eating seven or eight. "The energy is too concentrated. I'm full after just a few."
Qingyan rolled her eyes at her: "Put it away for now."
"Living things are fine too?" Sang Zhitao was a little surprised. If she remembered correctly, Qingyan's hidden universe was known to only be able to collect inanimate objects.
However, due to my shallow cultivation, the "Hidden Universe in the Sleeve" technique I have mastered can only hold a tiny bit of things.
Qingyan picked up a sword from the ground and looked at the tentacles on it with disdain: "Although it looks alive, it is an inanimate object. It must be controlled by someone to be like this."
As she spoke, she cast a spell, and numerous spirit swords emitted bursts of sword cries before flying into her sleeve with tentacles.
"Put them here with me for now." Qingyan pointed to the remaining tentacle limbs. "You can keep those."
After thinking for a moment, she looked at the children around her, used a spell to place them all in the corner furthest away from her.
"Why don't we just charge in?" Qingyan's killing intent grew stronger as he looked at the forest.
After thinking for a moment, Sang Zhitao nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's do it this way."
After Qingyan ate a few of the spiritual fruits given to him by Elder Qing to replenish his strength, he tossed a few to Sang Zhitao.
Sang Zhitao took it, took a bite, and said with a look of disgust, "The energy content is so low."
“It seems you are indeed more suited to these things.” Qingyan raised his chin, gesturing to the severed limbs and remains on the ground.
Sang Zhitao casually took a couple of bites of a tentacle the size of a volleyball and then let out a sigh.
"Would you like to try some?" Sang Zhitao handed one to Qingyan.
After hesitating for a long time, Qingyan still took a small bite with a look of disgust.
"The smell of alcohol!!" Her eyes lit up, and she instinctively hugged the tentacle tighter, refusing to let go again.
"The ones that smell of alcohol are mine! Kids, don't drink alcohol." With that, she waved her sleeve, and most of the remaining tentacles on the scene were taken away by her.
"Leave me some!" Sang Zhitao stomped her foot in exasperation.
Qingyan touched the tip of her nose, looking embarrassed: "I just couldn't tell which one smelled of alcohol. I'll sort it out and return it to you later."
Seeing this, Sang Zhitao said nothing more. Since both of them had recovered some of their strength, they simply picked up their magical artifacts and headed into the forest.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Several loud noises were heard, and the two instinctively looked towards the forest on alert.
Trees in the forest were falling one after another.
“Looks like we don’t need to go…” Sang Zhitao’s lips twitched. “It can’t really be a giant octopus, can it?”
Qingyan grabbed her clothes and flew quickly backward.
The spot where they had just been standing suddenly collapsed.
However, in an instant, everything around them, except for the place where the children were placed, collapsed completely.
"We can't exactly fly around and fight, can we?" Sang Zhitao looked at the ground, which had become a huge crater, and felt a headache coming on.
“It’s not impossible, after all, we are human too.” Qingyan wiped a piece of flesh that had accidentally gotten stuck at the corner of his mouth, his eyes turning cold as he looked into the depths of the forest.
The once lush forest has now collapsed beyond recognition, with only a few dozen trees remaining scattered around.
"What is that...?" Qingyan stared in shock as a twisted black shadow appeared behind the swirling dust.
How should one describe the "creature" in front of them?
It was like three people entangled together: on the left, dressed in black, with a handsome and compassionate face; on the right, dressed in red, with delicate features and a bewitching face; and in the middle, a girl in white, with a plain and ordinary appearance.
They are like Nezha with three heads and six arms, with three heads standing side by side, but their bodies twisted into a pretzel shape.
Beneath them were the green tentacles, most of which had been killed by Sang Zhitao.
"They are thinner and darker in color than the previous tentacles."
Qingyan frowned, a look of disgust flashing in her eyes.
Sang Zhitao couldn't help but cover her mouth, almost vomiting.
She simply couldn't believe that the thing on the ground, still carrying a body, was the tentacle she had just eaten.
After all, the ones before were as thick as octopus legs and as thin as sea snakes, while the ones in front of us were only as thick as a thumb and as thin as chopsticks.
There were hundreds and thousands of them, moving in a crisscrossing, twisting and turning manner, much like some white creatures.
"How disgusting..." Sang Zhitao could hardly believe that she had just eaten this kind of thing.
But they could only watch helplessly as several of the raised tentacles thickened in mid-air and attacked them.
Qingyan closed his eyes and slashed fiercely with his sword in one hand.
The tentacles she severed instantly broke into several pieces, then returned to their original bodies.
"No, it's a waste of effort." Qingyan tried using fire again, but it still didn't work.
Her spiritual fire left no trace on these new tentacles.
Sang Zhitao frowned, immediately thinking of the blood she had used earlier.
He directly slashed his palm with the dagger.
"Tao Tao!" Qing Yan quickly frowned and stopped her.
"Use my blood!" Sang Zhitao didn't explain further and directly smeared her blood on Qingyan's sword.
Then she gritted her teeth and squeezed the wound, splattering blood everywhere.
The sizzling sound continued, and whether it was the tentacles that were touched by the sharp blades in Sang Zhitao's and Qingyan's hands, or the tentacles that were spreading on the ground, they all withered instantly when they came into contact with Sang Zhitao's blood.
As the tentacles drew closer, the twisted humanoid creature also got closer and closer to them.
Qingyan was stunned when she saw the three faces.
"What's wrong?!" Sang Zhitao asked hurriedly after dodging several attacks with her.
Qingyan snapped back to reality, exclaiming incredulously, "What the hell happened to the human saint and the demon realm lord?! How did they end up like this?!"
"What?!" Sang Zhitao stopped mid-air after a forward lunge, slicing through her tentacles as she looked at Qingyan with a bewildered expression. "What did you say?"
Qingyan gasped, “Each of the Three Realms has a Realm Lord, who is the most powerful in that realm. That’s why the Three Realms have maintained peace for nearly ten thousand years.”
"The Cloud Sea Realm is ruled by Elder Qing, the Mortal Realm by the Human Saint, and the Demon Realm by the Fox Lord!"
"These three are the three most powerful people in Qingyuan Realm!! And two of them are in trouble!!!"
Qingyan became more and more excited as she spoke: "Who is that one in the middle?!"
Sang Zhitao listened to her words but became increasingly indifferent. She didn't know the people on either side, but she knew the one in the middle very well.
“Really!” Sang Zhitao’s answer reached Qingyan’s ears.
"What?" Qingyan was stunned and almost got grabbed by the tentacles again. He quickly dodged by holding Sang Zhitao and made sure to use his magic weapon to get rid of the tentacles completely.
"Truly! A god from the outside world! Her blood can corrupt everything, amplifying the desires and darkness within the human soul!"
Sang Zhitao broke free from her embrace: "They came for me!"
"What god! You're dead once you're on my turf!" Qingyan drew a sword incantation in mid-air with his sword, and an array immediately appeared in the air, striking the real body directly.
He was knocked back dozens of meters before falling to the ground, creating an even bigger dust cloud.
"I told you not to be impulsive." Qingyan gently tapped her head. "You're still a kid. Fighting is an adult thing to do."
“It’s no use.” Sang Zhitao sighed.
Qingyan didn't understand for a moment, until he saw the huge figure opposite him wriggle for a long time before standing up. Then he said with a grim face, "As expected of an Outer God, my strength is indeed lacking."
“I’ll do it. She ran away when I saw her last time. I don’t believe she can get away this time!” Sang Zhitao closed her eyes and felt the warmth on her chest.
Then a green jade pendant slowly floated out from her chest.
"What is this...?" Qingyan felt that she was actually a frog in a well, despite her reputation as a knowledgeable encyclopedia. Everything she had seen and heard in the past few days was completely new and unknown to her.
"I don't know, but I can kill her." Sang Zhitao shook her head and tapped the jade pendant. "It's up to you."
The jade pendant seemed to come alive, bouncing a few times in mid-air before quickly flying towards the truth.
As soon as Zhen had settled down, it flew around her rapidly dozens of times, leaving several green streaks of light in the air.
"Bind! Annihilate!" Following her intuition, Sang Zhitao recited the two incantations.
The green light traces transformed into green rays that tightly bound Zhen, leaving deep marks on his already distorted body.
After the word "annihilate" was uttered, countless explosions erupted from his body.
When the smoke clears, what remains is still the same truth.
"How is this possible!" Sang Zhitao exclaimed in disbelief.
Suddenly, the two faces on either side of Zhen opened their eyes, and ripples spread across Zhen's body.
"Bang!" The green beams were severed one by one!
