Chapter 70 Taming the Black Serpent, Biyao's Request

"boom!"

The enormous serpent's tail flew out from beneath the seawater once more, colliding with the pale yellow light. The resulting burst of energy was terrifying, but weaker than before.

But that terrifying power once again sent the Vermilion Bird Seal flying, and You Ji, suffering from its backlash, spat out a mouthful of blood again.

The veil that originally covered her face had long since fallen off during one of the flights, revealing a stunningly beautiful yet pale and weak face.

At this moment, You Ji felt extremely cold, but she still gritted her teeth and forced herself to stay awake. In order to prevent herself from falling asleep, she cursed Zhang Xiaofan for being unkind.

She tried to hold on one more time, one more time, countless times, but the beast still had the strength to resist. Youji even suspected that the beast would still have the strength to fight until she died.

The moment this thought arose, Youji saw the dark blue light in front of her blaze, followed by a terrified roar coming from below.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Ji felt herself plummeting downwards, and then she lost consciousness.

"Oh!"

Zhang Xiaofan's body slammed heavily onto the back of the Black Water Serpent. Fortunately, he twisted his body at the crucial moment; otherwise, You Ji, whom he had been holding, might have been crushed to death.

Completely drained of his magical power, Zhang Xiaofan lay sprawled on the back of the Black Water Serpent, panting heavily. You Ji, lying in his arms, was of unknown fate.

Beneath Zhang Xiaofan was an enormous, jet-black serpent floating on the sea, with a bloody smell lingering in the air.

Of course, the Blackwater Serpent did not die, but it also temporarily lost its fighting ability and was once again controlled by the Azure Heaven.

Biyao and Lu Xueqi, who were on the rocky beach, felt uneasy when they saw the ancient ferocious snake floating motionless on the sea like a corpse.

But soon, her worry for You Ji overcame her fear of the ferocious serpent. Bi Yao used her magic to float towards the sea. Seeing that the Black Water Serpent did not react, Bi Yao dared to land on the back of the Black Water Serpent.

However, just as Biyao landed, another person landed beside her, namely Lu Xueqi.

The two who had previously joined forces were now on high alert, hurrying forward on the massive back of the Blackwater Serpent.

Soon, Biyao and Lu Xueqi saw Zhang Xiaofan lying on the snake's back, panting heavily, and Youji lying beside him, her life hanging in the balance.

Upon seeing this, Biyao was startled and quickly went to gently help Youji up. She reached out and touched her, and her expression instantly turned ugly.

Lu Xueqi, who had just stepped to Zhang Xiaofan's side, hadn't even had time to squat down when her expression suddenly changed. The next moment, the Tianya Sword was suddenly drawn, pointing directly at Biyao beside her.

Before Zhang Xiaofan, several strange flowers had appeared out of nowhere, clearly the work of Biyao.

"What do you mean?"

Lu Xueqi said coldly, but Biyao ignored her and just stared at Zhang Xiaofan, saying coldly.

"Zhang Xiaofan, either you save my Aunt You, or I'll take you all down with me. Choose one!"

“The girl is being very unreasonable. I have not harmed her, so why should I save her? Besides, I have exhausted my magic power. Even if I wanted to save her, I would not have the ability.”

Having regained some of his strength, Zhang Xiaofan managed to speak.

However, Biyao was unconvinced. She was a demoness from the Demonic Sect, though not as vicious and indiscriminately murderous as some of them, her unreasonable and silver-tongued nature was deeply ingrained in her family. "Hmph, you and my Aunt You joined forces, and you emerged unscathed while I, You Ji, was critically injured and on the verge of death. Do you dare say you bear no responsibility?"

Biyao said coldly. Although she knew that Zhang Xiaofan was not seriously injured because of his terrifying physical body, which was comparable to a divine weapon, he was not seriously injured even after being hit so many times.

But so what? All she wanted was for Aunt You to live! She had already lost her mother; she couldn't afford to lose Aunt You too!

"If you wish to make a move, young lady, you are welcome to try. Although I have exhausted my magic power, it may not be so easy for you to deal with me."

Zhang Xiaofan chuckled upon hearing this. Biyao's expression changed slightly, but then she seemed to remember something and quickly looked up at Lu Xueqi, sneering.

"Is it because of this Fairy Lu? But what if I were to make a move against her?"

"Then you can try it!"

Although Lu Xueqi was still recovering from her serious injuries and had just been impacted, she still looked at Biyao with a tough expression.

"Judging from Fairy Lu, it seems that she has not lost her primordial yin. Young Hero Zhang is truly infatuated. Aren't you afraid that you will be discarded like a used tool in the future?"

Biyao stared intently at Lu Xueqi for several moments, then suddenly chuckled softly. After a pause, she looked down at Zhang Xiaofan, her eyes filled with a stubborn, pleading, and even frantic expression. She bit her red lips tightly, as if she had made up her mind, and said in a deep voice.

"If you are willing to save my Aunt You, I... I can marry you. Then you will be the young sect master of my Ghost King Sect."

As she spoke, Biyao waved her hand, and all the sorrowful flowers disappeared. However, Lu Xueqi understood that once Youji died, Biyao would inevitably fight desperately in her madness.

Looking at the expression in Biyao's eyes, Zhang Xiaofan's pupils suddenly contracted, and he couldn't help but be moved. He sighed softly and said...

“I can save her, but as for conditions, let’s skip them. I was able to subdue the Xuan Snake thanks to the help of the Vermilion Bird Envoy.”

As he spoke, Zhang Xiaofan struggled to raise his hand, trying to get up, but unfortunately, the battle had taken a heavy toll, and he really didn't have much strength left.

Seeing this, Biyao carefully put Youji down and then rushed to Zhang Xiaofan's side, carefully helping him up, completely ignoring Lu Xueqi behind her.

Watching Biyao's retreating figure, the sword light on Lu Xueqi's Tianya Sword flickered gently, but she ultimately did not thrust out that sword.

Even if she was 60% certain that one sword strike would severely injure Biyao and leave her on the verge of death, Lu Xueqi still gave up. It was unclear whether it was because she was worried about Zhang Xiaofan's safety, or because of the girl's resolute gaze, or perhaps simply because she was unwilling to launch a sneak attack.

Zhang Xiaofan, who was helped to sit up, glanced at Biyao and said softly.

"Put me on her."

"what?"

Biyao was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, but after she came to her senses, she looked at Zhang Xiaofan with a strange gaze.

In the end, Biyao carefully placed Zhang Xiaofan on the spot, fearing that if she hit him even slightly harder, she would completely sever Youji's life.

Without hesitation, Zhang Xiaofan bit his tongue and sent a mouthful of blood essence into You Ji's mouth. As Zhang Xiaofan's blood essence entered her body, You Ji's pulse gradually became stronger.
