Chapter 116: Taohua Xianren

With a "Zeng" sound, it pierced directly through Songxian's chest.

Songxian's body writhed for a moment, then suddenly exploded, splashing green "sap" all over Meixian's face!

Meixian's body stiffened, her expression changed drastically, and in a panic, she turned to flee; however, before the plum blossom petals on her body could disperse, they were instantly pierced and scattered by the golden light blooming from the golden lotus, igniting billowing thick smoke.

At that moment, not only Xie Lingyu, but even Lv Qingshan was completely dumbfounded.

Following a rustling sound of footsteps, a dark-faced, burly man walked slowly out from the forest; he—was none other than Su Yuanshan!

Only to hear him say in a deep voice.

"Su is here!"

"Are you fellow Daoists alright?"

While speaking, Su Yuanshan suddenly sensed that golden characters had begun to emerge on the spirit bead within his Spirit Void Ring.

"Taoyuan Pine Demon, Great Demon, remaining lifespan one hundred and twenty-five years."

"Taoyuan Plum Demon, Great Demon, remaining lifespan ninety years!"

"Lifespan bead formed, total lifespan of two hundred and forty-two years obtained, beginning to convert into Longevity Incense…………."

Su Yuanshan secretly poured all two hundred and forty-two years of the obtained Longevity Incense into the martial art "Azure Billow Ice Dragon Art".

Immediately, he sensed that golden text had emerged once again on the spirit bead within the spirit space.

"You used seventy-two years of time to raise the Azure Billow Ice Dragon Art to Great Success."

"You used eighty years of time to raise the Azure Billow Ice Dragon Art to Perfection."

"You used ninety years of time to raise the Azure Billow Ice Dragon Art to Great Perfection."

Seeing that it was actually Su Yuanshan who had killed the two demons, Songxian and Meixian, in one fell swoop, Xie Lingyu and Lv Qingshan seemed somewhat pleasantly surprised and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Lv Qingshan looked at Su Yuanshan with a faint smile on his face and said.

"I see that you are in good spirits, fellow Daoist; your energy is far better than before, having swept away your previous lethargy. This is truly a joyous and congratulatory occasion!"

Beside him, Xie Lingyu also smiled and said.

"You must have encountered some great opportunity, right? It is truly enviable."

Su Yuanshan gave a faint smile and did not explain, instead walking over to the fragments of the two immortals, Zhu and Mei, and collecting their magic treasures and demon cores before saying.

"It can't be considered an opportunity; I just found a magic tool, and while searching for you all, I happened to break a formation along the way, which is why my spiritual power has slowly recovered a bit and my body doesn't seem so weak anymore."

Lv Qingshan nodded slightly and said.

"So that is how it is. The magic tool you obtained must be this golden lotus! This magic treasure seems quite extraordinary; truly congratulations, fellow Daoist!"

While Lv Qingshan was off to the side taking medicine to heal his wounds, Su Yuanshan glanced at the fallen Sima Wuhen, the purple-clad young girl, Tian Ruoyun, Cai Lian, and the others, and asked Xie Lingyu who was nearby.

"What happened to them?"

Xie Lingyu's expression was somewhat dim as she replied.

"My junior brother unfortunately died in battle; Ruoyun and the others have only fainted temporarily and are in no serious danger."

As they spoke, the two went over to wake up Tian Ruoyun, Cai Lian, and Sima Wuhen; seeing Xie Lingyu walk toward those disciples of the Kaiyuan Academy intending to wake them up as well, Su Yuanshan also walked toward the purple-clad young girl.

That purple-clad young girl was lying on the ground, seemingly having fallen into a deep coma.

He bent down to check her wounds, but just as a red light flashed before his eyes, before he could understand what had happened, he heard a 'bang' sound, as if something had instantly shattered.

His entire body was sent flying, but fortunately, he performed a few flips in the air and landed steadily on the ground, completely unharmed.

Only then did he discover that the purple-clad young girl was actually clutching a long sword, and his own five-turn golden lotus had been shredded to pieces by that long sword.

Su Yuanshan then realized that this purple-clad young girl had actually attempted to ambush him, and this five-turn golden lotus had seemingly flown out automatically to protect its master, throwing him out of the enemy's attack range; the golden lotus had used its own body to take that heavy blow for its master, saving his life, but ending up smashed to pieces.

He never expected that this purple-clad young girl would ambush him, when he had originally intended to go up and check on her injuries.

This bastard clearly took his kindness for granted.

At that moment, Su Yuanshan was both shocked and angry in his heart, and could not help but shout.

"Who are you? Why did you ambush me?"

Xie Lingyu and Lv Qingshan were also very surprised, and without hesitation, they directly surrounded the purple-clad young girl.

However, although the purple-clad young girl was surrounded on three sides, she seemed unhurried; she stared at Su Yuanshan and finally spoke, but her voice was sharp and piercing, sounding extremely unpleasant.

"I could have killed you with that strike, but I went soft-hearted; perhaps it is just my nature, sigh, I am also helpless!"

What she said made Su Yuanshan, Lv Qingshan, and the others feel somewhat baffled; this woman seemed to be wallowing in self-pity and talking to herself.

"Along this journey, I have had many opportunities; I could have wiped you all out, but I was soft-hearted, I was soft-hearted, so I let you go time and time again. This time, there was truly no way to let you go again, so I struck!"

"What?"

Su Yuanshan, Lv Qingshan, and the others could not help but be greatly shocked upon hearing this, and could not help but feel a chill run down their spines.

At this moment, only to hear the purple-clad young girl look up at them and say coldly.

"Who am I? You ask who I am? Who else could I be? I am the master of this Taohuawu, Taohua Xianren!"

Lv Qingshan felt a jolt in his heart upon hearing this.

"What, you are actually Taohua Xianren!"

Su Yuanshan's pupils constricted.

He felt the situation was somewhat ominous! He never expected that this purple-clad young girl was actually Taohua Xianren, the real one!

What was even more detestable was that his magic treasure had already been destroyed, Lv Qingshan was injured, and Xie Lingyu was clearly not her match; after all, even she and Huang Yang, using their combined ultimate attack, had not been able to deal with Taohua Xianren's subordinates, Meixian and Songxian, let alone confront Taohua Xianren herself.

As for Sima Wuhen, Cai Lian, and the others, counting on them was out of the question.

Now things had become somewhat troublesome, and very troublesome at that.

Just as Su Yuanshan was lost in thought, that purple-clad young girl spoke again.

"No, to be precise, I am only one half of Taohua Xianren; we have a good and an evil side, and I am the good side!"

Lv Qingshan seemed somewhat confused.

"The good side!"

As they spoke, a green figure flew over and landed on the ground, suddenly opening their mouth with a hoarse, grating voice.

He ignored Su Yuanshan, Lv Qingshan, and the others, instead looking at the girl in purple and scolding her coldly.

"You've messed things up again, and you're expecting me to clean up the mess; have you forgotten the temper of Baiehou, or do you want to drag me to my death with you?"

"It's been so long, and you still haven't dealt with these little bugs; I told you long ago that you should be careful, be careful, and not let your own kindness ruin you, but you just wouldn't listen."

"Hurry up and finish them off; we have more important things to do."

As they spoke, the green figure turned into a ball of green light, while the girl in purple turned into a ball of red light; the red and green lights merged together, and immediately after, a person as strange as could be appeared before Su Yuanshan and the others.

One side of them was the girl in purple, while the other side was a green-faced man.

At that moment, Su Yuanshan finally understood why the girl in purple had said that; it turned out they were truly one body of good and evil. The girl in purple must be the manifestation of the kind personality of Taohua Xianren, while the green-faced man must be the manifestation of the evil personality of Taohua Xianren; they were a single monster all along!

The instant the two merged, Su Yuanshan could clearly feel the strength of Taohua Xianren surge, as if it had climbed to another level.
