Chapter 465: Snow on the Mountain, Bright Candles in the South 25

Before Mingnan could figure out what was going on, Taotie's expression changed first.

It fell to the ground and suddenly became calm, staring at Mingnan with its bell-like eyes.

If before it was just angry and its murderous intent was not so strong, now its murderous intent has solidified into reality and it will not stop until the enemy is dead.

Mingnan rolled over and landed steadily opposite it. The man and the beast looked at each other, eager to fight.

Mingnan took the lead, wielding his long sword tightly, like a galaxy flowing back. Spiritual power gathered at the tip of the sword, so bright that people dared not look directly at it.

Taotie blinked, and suddenly a black mist spread around his body, blurring his figure in an instant.

205: [Is this a transformation? ]

Mingnan swung his sword across, and a golden light flashed, instantly dispersing the black fog, but there was no one on the opposite side.

not good!

Ming Nanxia's instinct to foresee danger made him lose consciousness and fall to the ground.

The next moment, she felt a chill on her neck, and then she realized there was a sharp pain.

She touched it with her backhand and saw blood.

If she had reacted a little slower, her throat would have been cut.

205 was so frightened that he was speechless and stared at the screen nervously.

You won’t know until you see it, and you’ll be shocked. There was a man in a dark red robe where Ming Nanfang was standing.

The man had red hair and red eyes. He was very tall and fierce, holding a curved knife in his hand.

There was a streak of red on the blade, it was Mingnan's blood.

However, the blood was absorbed by the knife in an instant.

Mingnan narrowed his eyes suddenly, pulled back and distanced himself from him, looking surprised, "You actually transformed?"

Generally, high-level monsters will only transform when they reach their peak, and even ancient beasts like Taotie are no exception.

The blood of the ferocious beast allowed him to cultivate faster, making him one realm higher than other monsters when he was born, so he did not need to start cultivating from the basics.

But all things are equal in front of the heavenly calamity. No matter if you are an ancient ferocious beast or a divine beast, you must go through the calamity to transform.

People who want to cultivate immortality have to go through tribulations. Monsters also have to go through tribulations when they reach a certain level of cultivation. After going through tribulations, they can completely get rid of their monster appearance and transform into human form. At the same level, the strength of monster cultivators is higher than that of human cultivators, so the thunder of tribulation when they go through tribulations is also more fierce.

After transforming, it is basically a life-or-death struggle to overcome the tribulation. This is an important reason why, although monsters are stronger, the number of experts is far less than that of humans.

Moreover, no matter whether it is the human race or the demon race, if a master breaks through the tribulation, it will inevitably attract great attention from both races, because if they are not careful, it may change the current peaceful situation.

Therefore, no matter who is going through the tribulation, they will immediately receive attention from all parties.

In addition, the heavenly calamity is so powerful that it cannot be hidden. As long as it appears, it will be discovered.

But Chengtian Sect did not receive the news of Taotie's tribulation, which means that the tribulation will not come tomorrow.

This is totally counterintuitive.

There must be something wrong when something is abnormal. Considering his previous strange behavior, Mingnan had a bold guess in his mind.

Taotie was very satisfied with her reaction. He curled his lips in triumph, raised his knife and shouted: "Prepare to die!"

Before he finished his words, he rushed over like an arrow from a bow. His mighty demonic energy turned into substance, and the moment he drew his sword, it condensed into a phantom of a glutton, which flew towards Mingnan together with him.

In the blink of an eye, Mingnan fought with Taotie, while Chongming was fighting with Xuying.

Spiritual power and demonic power intertwined and collided, bursting out with dazzling light.

The two of them shuttled back and forth so fast that only their shadows could be seen.

But after a long time, Mingnan fell into a disadvantage.

She only has a trace of Chongming blood, and even after awakening she cannot compare to the Taotie with pure blood. The difference in realm between them is even greater. The longer the time goes, the more obvious Mingnan's disadvantage becomes.

Chongming's figure gradually became transparent, and finally completely disappeared under the Taotie's sharp claws.

Afterwards, the phantom and the Taotie's true form besieged Mingnan from the front and back.

At the critical moment of life and death, Mingnan burst out unprecedented potential.

She punched Taotie hard in the face, causing him to see stars and fall to the ground.

You can dodge what’s in front, but you can’t dodge what’s behind.

The phantom roared angrily and slammed into Mingnan fiercely.

Mingnan had no time to dodge. He took the blow head-on and flew out, barely stopping after hitting the stone wall with a bang.

205 It hurts just looking at it, [Wuwuwu, host, are you okay? ]

Mingnan rolled to the ground and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. His whole body felt like it was falling apart and he tried twice before finally getting up with great difficulty.

Taotie is not much better than her.

Mingnan's punch was unreserved, using all his strength, and almost blew his brains apart.

He lay on the ground for a long time before raising his head, gritted his teeth, wiped the blood from his lips and said, "I underestimated you."

Mingnan sneered, sitting on the ground with his back against the stone wall, and glared at him mockingly, "I should be the one saying this to you. The so-called ferocious beast is just like this. No wonder you dare not transcend the tribulation, are you afraid of failing to transcend the tribulation and turning into ashes?"

"You farted—"

Taotie roared, but before he could finish, there was another violent earthquake.

This time the tremor was even stronger than the last time, and it seemed like the ground could collapse at any time.

Mingnan's mind moved, and he took in Taotie's reaction. He became more certain of his previous guess, so he deliberately stabbed him.

"You are a glutton. It is your nature to rob and devour. Logically, you should have left to find new food since you have eaten everything around you. But you didn't. You would rather go to great lengths to lure monsters from farther away to offer sacrifices than to move. What's so good about this place?"

"Or does it mean that once you leave this place, the calamity will come to you?"

When Mingnan said those words above, Taotie didn't react much, and even looked a little disdainful. But when she mentioned the heavenly tribulation, his expression suddenly changed.

After all, it was a monster, and he was used to being straightforward and didn't know how to hide. As soon as Mingnan saw his reaction, he knew that he had guessed right.

Taotie relied on something here to avoid the heavenly calamity, or it could be said that he was able to transform so early because of the influence of that thing.

Taotie said sinisterly: "You are a dead man and yet you still talk so much nonsense."

Mingnan laughed instead, "You're angry out of shame. It seems I was right. So where is the treasure hidden? Underground?"

Taotie became furious and transformed back into its original form as a monster. He opened his mouth wide and started sucking Mingnan hard.

Mingnan flew towards him involuntarily. She gritted her teeth and thrust the sword into the ground, but she couldn't stop the momentum. The sword rubbed against the stone rapidly, and sparks flew everywhere.

At the critical moment, she decisively grasped the sword with her other hand. In an instant, her skin and flesh were torn apart, and blood flowed along the sword into the cracks in the ground.

As the earth trembled violently, the cracks in the ground grew larger and larger, and a faint light shone through. Her blood was dripping onto that light.

All of a sudden, everything was silent and the world was still.

Taotie noticed something and his eyes suddenly widened.

Before he could react, the ground suddenly cracked and a longbow with dazzling light broke out of the ground and flew into the air.

Mingnan's eyes lit up and hope was rekindled.

That's it!

The second summons she had felt earlier had come from the bow.

She won!
