Chapter 414: Yuan Yao Saves Me

A grayish-white figure stood silently not far away; upon closer inspection, a pair of huge, sharp dragon horns had grown above her head!

Moreover, her figure was unusually tall and sturdy, estimated at over two meters, and the exposed skin was covered with a thin, almost transparent layer of dragon scales.

Her eyes were also grayish-white, but the whites hiddenly showed faint red blood vessels, giving a feeling of both coldness and danger.

But what made one feel creepy was her face.

When she slightly turned her head, half of her cheek was completely shrouded in a thick, inseparable darkness, as if eroded by some evil power, looking extremely strange and terrifying!

Cang Li felt a chill run down his spine at her gaze.

Yuan Yao quickly came to Cang Li's side, sensing that the death spirit beast before her was terrifyingly strong.

Then a voice came from her sea of consciousness: 'She is a sixth‑stage peak death spirit beast, equivalent to the late‑stage peak of the Void Refinement Realm for human cultivators. She is very strong.'

Yuan Yao's heart sank, and she sent a mental message: 'How would I compare to you?'

Tian Xue replied: 'I don't know. Before her death she should have been a flood dragon.'

Yuan Yao looked at the dragon woman before her, her heart filled with vigilance.

'Are you the Death Spirit King?'

Hearing this, the dragon woman's lips curled into a strange arc, her grayish-white eyes rolling as she spoke in human language: 'You actually know the Death Spirit King? You must have seen that trash. Is it possible that trash placed its hope in you?'

Her voice was hoarse, her tone tinged with mockery.

Yuan Yao stared at her and said: 'I want to see the Death Spirit King.'

'How could a king be seen by you?' the dragon woman said with a contemptuous look, then raised her sharp dragon claws and swung fiercely toward Yuan Yao and Cang Li.

Boom—

Yuan Yao reacted in time, pulling Cang Li to roll aside quickly to dodge the strike.

The ground where they had just stood now showed a huge pit.

Immediately, the ground began to wriggle, and more death spirit beasts burst out.

These death spirit beasts lunged at Yuan Yao and Cang Li.

Yuan Yao quickly drew her sword and swung.

The huge sword blade tore through the air, flinging the death spirit beasts to the ground.

She then quickly got to her feet.

She raised her sword to fend off the death spirit beasts' encirclement.

Meanwhile, the dragon woman's attention fell on the flying lion death spirit beast; she raised her hand, and in an instant the flying lion death spirit beast let out a pleading roar.

But no matter how it struggled, it was useless.

Its strength turned into a black shadow, which the dragon woman completely absorbed.

The dragon woman then noticed the yellow‑clad youth trying to flee, and she directly thrust her palm forward, blasting out.

Bang!

The ruins ahead instantly turned to dust.

Jiang Xiao dodged in time, avoiding the direct hit, and rolled on the ground.

At that moment, countless death spirit beasts lunged at him to bite, while cold, bone‑piercing hands reached out to drag him underground.

Jiang Xiao's face changed drastically; he gathered spiritual power to resist the beasts' tearing, but his body was swiftly being pulled downward.

'Yuan Yao, save me!' he shouted hysterically, his face shocked.

He is only sixteen!

He cannot die!

On the other side, Yuan Yao heard his cry for help and was somewhat surprised.

What makes him think she would come to his aid?

'Yuan Yao——'

Jiang Xiao shouted loudly.

【Target person Jiang Xiao, Awakening Value reaches 20.】

【Target person Jiang Xiao, Awakening Value reaches 30.】

Yuan Yao heard that his Awakening Value had risen at this moment, she was stunned for a second, then flashed toward Jiang Xiao.

But just then, a terrifying power aura locked onto her, making her whole body stiff.

It was the dragon woman!

Immediately, those death spirit beasts charged toward her position.

'Yao Yao!'

Cang Li cried out in alarm.

At the instant the death spirit beasts attacked, Yuan Yao broke free of the pressure bind, raised her sword and slashed fiercely.

'Nirvana First Form, Phoenix Fire!'

With a 'Boom—', the death spirit beasts were instantly cut in half; the flame ignited at a point and instantly engulfed their bodies until they were completely burned.

Seeing this, the dragon woman narrowed her eyes slightly.

She had actually broken through her own pressure suppression?

Immediately, the dragon woman raised her hand and sucked hard toward Yuan Yao, trying to pull her in.

But to the dragon woman's shock, Yuan Yao dodged her technique, flashed a few times, and appeared beside the yellow‑clad youth, where she raised her sword and struck.

Boom——

The death spirit beasts screamed as they were swallowed by the flames.

Yuan Yao lowered her head and was startled to see that Jiang Xiao's lower half had completely sunk into the iron‑hard ground, as if an invisible force had pressed him down, leaving only his chest and above exposed.

Jiang Xiao, in the moment he saw Yuan Yao appear, his eyes filled with urgency and longing: "Yuan Yao... save me..."

"Give me your hand quickly!" Yuan Yao shouted urgently.

Jiang Xiao used all his strength to painfully lift his right arm, reaching toward Yuan Yao.

At the instant when their fingers were about to touch, suddenly Jiang Xiao felt an indescribable sharp pain shooting from his arm, as if countless steel needles were piercing his marrow at once, unbearably painful.

Because Yuan Yao was too anxious to save him and used excessive force, she literally tore Jiang Xiao's right hand off at the joint, causing a severe dislocation of his hand.

"Ah!" With a blood‑curdling scream, Jiang Xiao rolled to the side, his mask almost completely shattering.

At this moment Yuan Yao had no time to worry about the injured Jiang Xiao lying on the ground, because around her a gang of hideous undead beasts exuding a chilling aura kept lunging at her without cease.

Cang Li also arrived at the scene; seeing another undead beast biting Jiang Xiao's leg, he swung his spear and drove the beast away from him.

Jiang Xiao was now covered in wounds, his whole body in pain, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

He shivered all over from the pain a few times.

Cang Li frowned and asked, "Jiang Xiao, can you still go on?"

Jiang Xiao gritted his teeth, pushed himself up, and just as his mask was about to fall off, he raised his left hand to hold it, then replaced it with a new mask bearing a grinning rabbit.

His hair was disheveled, making him look like a demon that had crawled out of hell at that moment.

His eyes flashed with a ruthless light.

The youth quickly swallowed a few Healing Wound Pills, then, using his own hands, forcibly popped his dislocated right joint back into place, groaning in pain.

He glanced at Cang Li.

"Now we can only cooperate."

He said coldly.

Having said that, he swiftly formed seals with both hands, and in an instant another hundred or so black‑clad puppets appeared, this time of a higher rank.

"Go, kill them!"

The black‑clad puppets moved instantly.

Suddenly, the Dragon Girl flashed forward toward Yuan Yao and thrust a palm at her—

Clang!

Three forces collided and exploded instantly, shattering the surrounding rubble stones and blasting the undead beasts away.

Yuan Yao's expression shifted slightly in surprise; she turned her head and looked at the white‑clad youth who had suddenly appeared beside her.
