"Second brother, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with the pills?" Lan Ting asked.
Lan Yu came to his senses: "Big brother, aunt, it's a Saint-level, Saint-level pill."
"What did you say! A Saint-level pill!"
Lan Ting took the pills over, and the moment he opened them, a rich fragrance wafted out, filling their nostrils.
I immediately felt refreshed and my pain lessened.
"What's going on? There's a really strong fragrance of elixir coming from there."
"Yes, just smelling the fragrance of this elixir makes me feel as if my body is full of energy."
"I'm afraid this pill is no less than Saint-level..."
The Lan family members not far away noticed something and all turned their gazes toward Lan Ting and the others.
Lan Ting frowned unhappily and looked at the disciples of the Lan family, and everyone shut their mouths.
“These are all Restoration Pills. Although they are low-grade Saint-level pills, I feel that their purity and perfection are not much worse than those of mid-grade pills. Aunt, you should take them first to recover your body,” Lan Yu said.
“Yes, Aunt, I’ll protect you here,” Lan Ting said.
Seeing their insistence, the old woman could not persuade them otherwise, so she swallowed a pill and sat down to recover.
At that moment, with a loud bang, Ji Jiuying was struck by the tail of the Thunder Tiger. Roar, Ling Xiao transformed into his true form and caught her.
"Master, let's fight it together," Ling Xiao said.
Ji Jiuying's eyes were filled with fighting spirit. She nodded. With her current strength, it would be a bit of a pipe dream to kill this Thunder War Tiger.
Ji Jiuying soared into the air, floating in mid-air, her hands constantly gathering spiritual power in the darkness. Ling Xiao also flew down behind the Thunder Tiger, surrounding it from both sides.
The Thunder Tiger bared its sharp fangs, its eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty ferocity. War was imminent. Ji Jiuying dodged and looked for opportunities to attack, while Ling Xiao directly confronted it head-on.
The enormous dragon claw was incredibly sharp. It struck the Thunder Tiger on the head, sending the Thunder Tiger flying ten meters away. The Thunder Tiger was completely enraged.
With its head raised and roaring, countless bolts of lightning crackled and flew towards Ji Jiuying and Ling Xiao. The people not far away quickly moved away and set up a defensive barrier to avoid being affected by the lightning.
Countless bolts of lightning seemed to sting everyone's eyes. Some, unable to withstand the pain, stepped forward and said to Lan Yu, "Second Master, should we retreat first? We still have many wounded here, you see..."
Lan Yu glanced at the Lan family members behind him. Indeed, they had suffered heavy casualties on this trip, and there was nothing they could do to help if they stayed here. It would be better to take the cub of the Thunder Shadow War Tiger back first.
"Big brother, why don't you take the Thunder Tiger cub and the Lan family disciples back first, and Aunt and I will stay here to assist that girl?" As Lan Yu spoke, his eyes glanced intentionally or unintentionally in the direction of Ji Jiuying.
The old woman had almost recovered and stood up, looking at Lan Yu. How could she not know what he was thinking?
“Lan Yu is right. Lan Ting, you should take them back first. Lan Yu and I will stay here.”
"Auntie, are you really alright now?" Lan Ting looked at the old woman with a worried expression.
"I'm fine now. This girl's pills are truly miraculous, much better than the Saint-level pills I used to take." The old woman didn't forget to praise Ji Jiuying as she spoke.
Seeing that she was alright, Lan Ting led the Lan family disciples back first. After all, the Thunder Tiger cub was of great use to their Lan family, and now that they had managed to hold off the Thunder Tiger, it was indeed the best time to leave.
Meanwhile, Ji Jiuying and Ling Xiao activated their lightning attributes together, and countless purple lightning bolts formed a circle around them, surrounding the Thunder Tiger.
Ling Xiao transformed into his true form, flew into the sky, and roared! A dragon's roar, mixed with countless powers, transformed into a dragon phantom, carrying endless killing intent, and rushed towards the Thunder War Tiger.
These scenes attracted all the spiritual cultivators in the Dragon Abyss Forest. The old woman and Lan Yu exchanged a glance and realized that it was indeed best for them to take the Thunder Tiger cubs and leave first.
Wherever the lightning struck, large swathes of trees were harvested like straw, and nearby spirit beasts were blown to pieces before they could react.
Although they were both mythical beasts of the same level, Lingxiao was an old dragon that had cultivated for tens of thousands of years, far superior to this hundred-year-old Thunder Tiger. A scream rang out as the Thunder Tiger was entangled in purple lightning.
Ji Jiuying's expression turned cold, and she shouted, "Ling Xiao, now!"
Upon hearing this, a purple lightning bead appeared on Ling Xiao's horn. The bowl-sized purple lightning bolt struck the Thunder Tiger on the ground, and in an instant, the Thunder Tiger's power was gradually absorbed by Ling Xiao through the purple lightning bead.
Thunder Tiger sensed something, its face turned pale, and it struggled desperately, but how could Ji Jiuying let it have its way? It just so happens that her Blood Lotus hasn't tasted blood in a long time, and the blood of a Saint-level spirit beast would probably be very pleasing to it!
A slight smile played on her lips, as if sensing her thoughts. The blood lotus between her brows bloomed wildly, spreading out of thin air from her fingertips. The crimson lotus surrounded her, making her seem like a judge from the depths of hell. It was as if with just a command, everyone present would become her dead.
This scene was witnessed by a later spiritual practitioner, who was instantly terrified and trembled uncontrollably. However, what followed was even more terrifying...
"What is that?" Lan Yu frowned. If he wasn't mistaken, those lotus flowers were the same lotus flowers on the girl's forehead, but he had never heard of such a spiritual technique before.
The old woman squinted her eyes: "That should be a blood lotus."
The old woman's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but the spiritual cultivators surrounding her were all quite powerful, so they naturally heard what she said.
"Blood Lotus?" Lan Yu looked at the old woman with a puzzled expression.
"That's right, it's the Blood Lotus. As far as I know, the Blood Lotus thrives on blood. Cultivating a Blood Lotus is no easy feat; it requires the blood of tens of thousands of people to grow just one. If you're unlucky enough to be entangled by it, you'll be turned into a dried-up corpse in just three breaths..."
Legend has it that once entangled by the Blood Lotus, no one can survive alive...
At this point, the spiritual cultivators surrounding them gasped and quickly moved away, fearing they would be entangled by the Blood Lotus. Those who wanted to seize the Thunder War Tiger and those who coveted the Illusion Dragon in the shadows also lost their nerve. Although they couldn't see through the girl's strength, just the fact that she could contract the Blood Lotus and the Illusion Dragon meant they couldn't easily confront her head-on.
At this moment, the Purple Lightning Pearl, which was suspended in mid-air, instantly disappeared into Lingxiao's horn, while the Thunder Tiger on the ground collapsed to the ground.
"Master, I am now going to sleep and absorb this power."
Ling Xiao's voice echoed in her mind. With a wave of her hand, Ji Jiuying transformed into a streak of silver light and instantly disappeared into the space.
