Chapter 49 049 Rong Ying's hands trembled slightly
Although young people are quite precocious these days, it's not a good thing, is it?
Rong Ying seemed to have regained some of her senses.
Tang'er is watching from the side!
Her daughter's gaze seemed to fall on Rong Ying's back, sending a chill down Rong Ying's spine.
A sudden, piercing scream shattered the deathly silence within the formation.
"You're insane! Liu Rumei, how dare you lay a hand on me!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw two female cultivators dressed in Qing'ai Peak attire wrestling. One of them had disheveled hair and a gleaming magic sword embedded in her chest, blood gushing from the blade. It was Su Wanqing, a disciple of Qing'ai Peak. Liu Rumei, who was gripping the sword hilt, had bloodshot eyes and a face twisted with terror. Her other hand was tightly gripping Su Wanqing's neck, her knuckles turning white with force.
"It's you! You're the one who summoned the Black-scaled Beast!" Liu Rumei roared, her voice shrill.
"Back then, that beast bit your shoulder, and the healers all said you had its bloodstains on you! It came looking for revenge and wanted to drag us all down with it!"
Su Wanqing was barely breathing, blood oozing from the corner of her mouth, yet she still managed to refute with all her might: "Nonsense! The blood mark was already dispelled by Master's Heart-Cleansing Mantra! Liu Rumei, you're clearly terrified and want to find someone to be a scapegoat!"
"Dispel? Then why did it appear at this particular time?"
Liu Rumei's eyes grew increasingly crazed. She kicked Su Wanqing violently, pushing her towards the edge of the magic circle. "Only by killing you and offering you to it can we live! I have no choice but to make you sacrifice yourself for everyone's safety."
This fratricidal conflict was delivered with a touch of righteous indignation.
Before she could finish speaking, she swiftly drew her magic sword. Su Wanqing screamed as her body crashed into the cracked array wall like a kite with a broken string. Even more terrifying, that spot happened to be the edge of the first crack. With her impact, the crack widened abruptly, and a gap suddenly opened up.
Before the madness on Liu Rumei's face had faded, three agile wolf-shaped demonic beasts squeezed in through the gap.
The demonic wolf was clearly stimulated by the dense stench of blood within the formation, and immediately pounced on Liu Rumei, who was closest to the gap. Before she could even activate her magic, the lead demonic wolf bit her neck, the crisp sound of bones shattering accompanied by a shrill wail, blood spurting out and staining the ground in front of her red.
The other two demonic wolves pounced on the still-breathing Su Wanqing, their sharp claws tearing through her flesh in an instant, silencing her screams. In the blink of an eye, the two female cultivators became prey for the demonic beasts, a scene so gruesome it was nauseating.
Outside the formation, Jiang Bin looked at the chaotic scene inside. The roses on the colorful umbrella seemed to have become even more vibrant. He chuckled softly, his voice carrying a morbid pleasure.
The beast that killed Liu Rumei was extremely ferocious. It seemed to kill for pleasure rather than to fill its stomach. After killing Liu Rumei, it did not gnaw on her, but continued to pounce and hunt her for pleasure.
Animals have a keen intuition and will always attack the weakest point.
The demon wolf's eyes flashed with ferocity as it pounced on the minor cultivators from Tianyuan Palace.
The children, around ten years old, were still very young, yet each possessed exceptional talent, having been nourished from a young age with various precious medicinal herbs. In the eyes of the demonic beasts, they were simply excellent prey.
The first one chosen was Rong Tang!
Rong Tang's face turned pale.
The stench of the demonic wolf assaulted Rong Tang's senses, making her feel as if her blood had frozen. Her hand gripping the magic sword trembled uncontrollably, and she even forgot to activate the most basic defensive technique.
At that moment, a dark figure suddenly darted out from the side and blocked Rong Tang's path.
Rong Xiao, who was approaching, did not have the vitality of his peers. His black hair was tied up with a plain rope, and there was not a trace of panic on his face. Only the coldness surging in his eyes.
He wondered how Rong Yuejun usually trained him, for this little cultivator seemed like an ice block. He made a hand seal and urged, and a streak of black light flashed swiftly towards him.
Everything happened extremely fast. When the two were only three feet apart, the black light pierced into its eye socket without hesitation!
"Awooo—!"
The demonic wolf howled in pain, its massive body twisting violently. Black light churned in its eye sockets, bringing out a mixture of red and white filth. It didn't even notice the other cultivator, Nan Sisi, who had been knocked to the ground by the demonic wolf. The cultivator's sleeve had been torn open by the wolf's claws, and blood was seeping through, but it didn't even lift an eyelid.
As Rong Xiao made these hand gestures, several dark incantation patterns were revealed beneath his sleeves.
The next moment, Rong Xiao activated his magic sword, which split into three in mid-air and rushed straight towards the demon wolf.
Everyone else stepped aside, but the injured Nan Sisi happened to stand in front of the wolf demon.
Nan Sisi wasn't unwilling to give in, but she was terrified by the scene and was also injured. In the critical moment, she even forgot to fly on her sword.
Sisi is a beautiful child. Although she is still young, she has rosy lips and white teeth, and she will surely grow up to be a beauty. Now, with tears welling up in her eyes, she looks even more pitiful.
Seeing the lovely girl about to perish under the sword, Shen Xiaochun flew over on her sword, moving with incredible speed. Shen Zhiwei had carefully educated her daughter since childhood, emphasizing that the most important thing on the path of cultivation was speed. When Shen Xiaochun first entered Tianyuan Mansion, she earned her first credit by rescuing Jiang Yingxue from the icefall.
Ignoring the raging wolf, she first reached out and scooped up Nan Sisi, who had fallen.
The demonic wolf suddenly sprang up and darted to the side. Rong Xiao's sword also twisted, but it was a little too late; two of the three swords missed their mark, leaving only one to strike.
The demon wolf is not dead yet.
Just then, a golden light flashed! Rong Ying finally snapped out of her daze. A dense sword aura condensed on the bracelet on her wrist, and the sword hummed. A sharp sword aura slashed straight at the demon wolf, and the demon wolf's head fell to the ground with a thud, scalding blood splattering all over the ground.
Three insects crawled out of the wolf's ear and slowly crawled back to Shen Xiaochun's sleeve.
Rong Ying's abilities are actually quite good.
She was at the Jade Liquid Realm, just one step away from the Half-Immortal Realm. Rong Ying possessed above-average talent, but her mental state was somewhat lacking, which was why she had always struggled to take that final step.
But with an older sister who doted on her, Rong Yuejun naturally went to great lengths to find a way to help her precious younger sister.
For Yu Rongying, there was no shortage of peerless swords or top-grade magical artifacts.
For example, the Crescent Moon Sword that Rong Yuejun found for her contains an ancient sword spirit and is highly compatible with Rong Ying's cultivation. With the combination of the two, Rong Ying can unleash the effects of a semi-immortal.
However, Rong Ying was inexperienced. Although she had countless treasures and the Sword of Mutual Understanding, she did not kill or eat meat, which was completely different from her elder sister who had fought countless battles.
Killing a mere demon wolf was nothing special, yet Rong Ying's hands trembled slightly.
But she succeeded after all, so she had some indescribable feelings.
That feeling didn't seem so bad.
Since leaving Tianyuan Mansion and marrying Xie Chengbi, she has done nothing but bear children, manage the Rong family's affairs for her elder sister, and handle matters such as interpersonal relationships.
Now that Rong Ying has personally killed a wolf demon, the feeling is truly indescribable.
Suddenly, she seemed to feel much lighter, and she was no longer as dull and dazed as before.
Rong Ying suddenly took a few steps forward, hugged her daughter in her arms, and felt that Rong Ying's body was still trembling slightly.
She simply assumed her daughter was terrified.
Meanwhile, Shen Zhiwei had already swiftly moved, reaching out to lift Shen Xiaochun into her arms. She weighed her daughter in her hands, then touched her forehead, only breathing a sigh of relief after confirming she wasn't injured. But her expression was irritated: "You, if something really happened to you, I don't know what you would do."
Shen Zhiwei nuzzled her mother, her face serious: "It's mainly because I learned from Lao Shen."
This is what we call family education.
Shen Xiaochun scratched her cuff, and Shen Da, Shen Er, and Shen San peeked out from inside, her little darlings looking like they were asking for praise. She looked up at Rong Xiao not far away and whispered to Shen Zhiwei, "That little dwarf is too shameless."
It must be said that mother and daughter are truly of one mind. Shen Zhiwei would put on a stern face and act serious, telling her daughter not to give the little repairmen nicknames.
But when her daughter called her "little dwarf," Shen Zhiwei immediately understood and looked at Rong Xiao.
Rong Xiao is a short man.
Rong Xiao was wielding his sword too quickly just now, and almost injured Nan Sisi.
Others who saw it didn't think much of it, generally believing that Rong Xiao wouldn't have done it on purpose.
In such a moment, even adults might not react as quickly as Rong Xiao. In such a rush, mistakes and mishaps are inevitable.
Rong Xiao was just too late and almost got injured by mistake.
But Shen Xiaochun knew perfectly well that Rong Xiao wasn't incapable, but rather unwilling.
It's not worth caring if you hurt your comrades in order to kill the enemy.
Moreover, they were just classmates and fellow students, and Rong Xiao probably didn't even consider them companions.
Considering the threats Rong Xiao had made to him, he figured that Rong Tang was the only one who mattered.
If it weren't for Shen Xiaochun's crucial moment when she had Shen Dachen, Shen Erchen, and Shen San sneak into the wolf's ear, Rong Xiao probably wouldn't have turned his sword at all.
Shen Xiaochun was a little angry. That little dwarf was really vicious!
Shen Zhiwei sighed softly in her heart, thinking to herself, "Little Chan, you're so good!"
How could she give birth to such a kind and brave little sister as Xiao Chan?
Even Shen Zhiwei, as the mother, felt a little embarrassed.
She had just weighed the pros and cons and decided that it was not worthwhile to kill Rong Ying at this moment. She resolved to use familial affection to awaken Rong Ying's moral character and courage. Therefore, she flicked a drop of the fragrant dew that attracted demonic beasts onto Rong Tang's clothes.
With Rong Ying's strength, killing a demon wolf would be a piece of cake.
Therefore, Shen Zhiwei was also watching the show from the sidelines.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Chan jumped out. Although Shen Zhiwei was in time, she was still startled.
At this time, the other two demon wolves had also been subdued.
One of them is dead, and the other is seriously injured.
Rong Tang suddenly broke free from her mother's embrace and fled. She transformed into a blue phoenix, gritted her teeth, and stabbed fiercely—
Rong Ying noticed her daughter trembling and assumed Rong Tang was afraid. In fact, Rong Tang wasn't afraid, but rather felt ashamed.
She couldn't compare to Rong Xiao, and even Shen Xiaochun reacted faster than her.
Rong Tang, being proud and arrogant, must have felt unhappy and ashamed.
Now, Rong Tang, as if seeking revenge, stabbed the demon wolf fiercely, wanting to wash away his shame.
A few drops of blood stained Rong Tang's skirt. She suddenly wiped away her tears, her face stubborn and sharp, and said without thinking, "Of course I'm not afraid!"
