A golden light flashed across Zhao Ruizhi's body, instantly tearing off several tentacles. Unfortunately, the giant octopus had far too many tentacles; they regenerated immediately after being torn off, seemingly endless.
Zhao Ruizhi felt a little uneasy. He was naturally not afraid when he was at his peak, but now he was somewhat lacking in strength, and his desire to retreat was even stronger.
He raised his arm, unleashing bursts of golden light that severed all the tentacles around him, before rapidly retreating.
Just then, two extremely thick tentacles suddenly wrapped around his arms.
He struggled desperately, but the two thick tentacles didn't break off as easily as before.
In that instant, countless red tentacles wrapped around him.
Then the giant octopus monster suddenly shot out a third thick tentacle, aiming directly at his head. If it had hit him, even someone as powerful as an emperor would probably have died on the spot.
Zhao Ruizhi roared and forcefully pulled the tentacles together with both arms, grabbing the oncoming tentacles at the last second.
The veins on his forehead were bulging, clearly indicating that he had exerted all his strength.
The enormous tentacles couldn't advance any further, and the two sides were locked in a stalemate.
The others stared in disbelief. Bi Linglong couldn't help but turn her head away, looking disgusted and nauseous. Even Mi Li frowned repeatedly, clearly showing that girls naturally have a fear of such sticky, tentacle-like monsters.
Zaun is much better, after all, it experienced a lot of tentacle-based monsters in its previous life.
However, he didn't understand why Xu Fu, a perfectly good alchemist, would turn into an octopus monster.
He suddenly remembered that Mi Li had mentioned Xu Fu's long voyages to find the elixir of immortality for Qin Shi Huang. He had killed a giant monster fish along the way and even found a mermaid queen or princess. It was not surprising that he had some skills related to the sea, since he had spent most of his life dealing with the ocean.
However, he didn't have time to care about these things right now. Instead, he picked up Bi Linglong with one arm and put his arm around Mi Li with the other, and left the place first.
Now that two gods are fighting, why doesn't he take the opportunity to escape and wait for them to decide the winner before dealing with him?
Feeling his hand around her waist, Mi Li's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but she was rational enough not to say anything at this moment. Instead, she made her soul form more solid so that he could hold her even more easily.
Zuan unleashed a powerful gust of wind and quickly ran away. The octopus monster beside him seemed to have seen what was happening, but it was too busy dealing with Zhao Ruizhi to spare any energy to stop him.
Zu An was overjoyed. He had already run to the door. In just a few breaths, he would be far away from here. Then, neither Xu Fu nor Zhao Ruizhi would be able to find him.
Just then, Mi Li in his arms suddenly let out a muffled groan. Zu An turned around and saw that her figure was flickering between light and shadow, and her expression was extremely painful.
"What's wrong?" Zu'an asked in alarm.
Mi Li frowned: "I'm stuck in this formation and I'm afraid I can't leave. You take this girl and leave first."
Although she was highly skilled, because she was a soul, she was restrained by certain special things.
Clearly, this Five Elements Yin Yang Grand Array is of this type.
Zuan said in a deep voice, "Aren't you doomed if you stay here?"
She is currently suppressed by the great formation and can hardly move. Staying will only mean certain death.
Mi Li said calmly, "Anyway, after living for so long, there's nothing left to miss. There are so many old friends here, and this familiar palace. Even if I die, it won't be a big deal."
Hearing her words, Zu'an couldn't help but get angry: "Nonsense! Don't you still have me!"
Mi Li was taken aback, her eyes filled with a complex emotion, but she still said, "There's no point in you staying here. You'll just die together. Go quickly. There are many people waiting for you outside. Don't make them sad."
Having been with him for so long, I naturally know about his numerous romantic entanglements.
Zuan ignored her and instead handed Bi Linglong a series of healing medicines and some weapons and magical artifacts he had collected in the past: "Leave here first, find a place to hide, and wait for me to come find you."
He paused, then added, "If you don't wait for me, this secret realm will reopen one day. When that happens, you'll find a chance to escape, and once you reach the back mountain of the academy, you'll be safe."
Bi Linglong pushed the things back and shook her head: "I'm not leaving."
Zuan was getting annoyed: "Stop messing around and leave now."
"You risked your life to save me before, how could I abandon you at a time like this? We might as well die together." Bi Linglong's voice was soft but extremely firm.
Zuan said in a deep voice, "But I stayed for other women."
Bi Linglong blinked: "She is your master. If she turns around and leaves, she would be a despicable person who betrays her master and ancestors. How could she be the upright man I like... the man I love?"
Zu An was silent for a moment, but then he laughed heartily, his voice exceptionally carefree: "So be it, if we can't share a bed in life, it's not bad to share a grave in death."
Anger from Zhao Hao: +666 +666 +666...
My husband, the real one, is about to die, and you two are still flirting and making love on the sidelines. What a pair of adulterers!
His attention was diverted, and the enormous tentacle in front of him could no longer stop it, slowly approaching his head.
He was startled and quickly focused on resisting, but unfortunately, the tentacles were covered in slime and were incredibly slippery to the touch, so he soon found that he could not hold on to them.
At this moment, Zuan and the others also witnessed this scene. Bi Linglong asked, "Which side should we help?"
Although the emperor was no good, he was still a human being, right? What the heck is this blood-red octopus?
