Peach Blossoms in Chang'an

Wu Tao felt a suffocating sense of oppression coming towards her, and the foul smell of the monster corroded her senses like poison. She closed her eyes in despair, and Hu Bugui's low voice echoed in her ears. It was his love for them and his last resistance to this desperate fate.

However, the expected severe pain did not come.

Wu Tao slowly opened his eyes, only to see that the huge black shadow was suspended in mid-air, just a few steps away from them. Its lantern-like eyes stared at them intently, with a fierce light flashing in them, but it was hesitant to take the next step.

what happened?

Everyone held their breath at the same time, looking at the strange scene in front of them in horror.

"Its belly!"

In the silence, the mysterious woman's cold voice pierced the night sky like a flash of lightning.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to the belly of the unknown creature. In the shadow of the black mist, they saw a light spot the size of a grain of rice, emitting a faint light that flickered like a candle in the wind, as if it would go out at any time.

Could it be... that is its weakness?

A bold guess flashed through the mysterious woman's mind, but she was not sure. This unknown creature was too powerful, so powerful that it was beyond her cognition. She could not imagine that such a terrifying existence would have such a tiny weakness.

At this moment, Taoist Lingxu also saw the flickering light. He didn't have time to think about it, so he took a deep breath, concentrated all his remaining magic power on his fingertips, turned it into a sharp spiritual power needle, and shot it towards the light spot...

The spiritual power needle turned into a golden lightning, cutting through the thick black fog and shooting straight at the light spot in the abdomen of the unknown creature. Everyone held their breath, their eyes closely following the golden light. Their hopes, their fates, now depended on this faint light.

The unknown creature seemed to sense the danger as well, and its huge body twisted violently, trying to avoid the fatal blow. However, its huge size became its shackles, and although it tried its best, it still could not completely avoid the attack of the spiritual power needle.

"laugh--"

With a slight sound, like a hot knife cutting into butter, the spiritual power needle finally brushed past the faint light spot. The golden light intertwined with the faint light spot, bursting out a dazzling light, illuminating everyone's face.

At that moment, time seemed to stand still.

Taoist Lingxu looked pale and shaky, obviously having exhausted all his magic power. But he still stared at the unknown creature, with a determined light flashing in his cloudy eyes.

The unknown creature's movements also paused for a moment, and then its huge body began to tremble violently, as if it was suffering great pain.

"Roar--"

A deafening roar came from the mouth of an unknown creature, exploding in everyone's ears like thunder, the earth shook, sand and rocks flew, and the whole world seemed to collapse at this moment.

Wu Tao hugged the child tightly and closed her eyes in despair.

However, at this moment, she suddenly heard Hu Bugui's low voice:

"it……"

The light flickered more violently, like a heart beating violently, and each beat emitted a dazzling light. The huge body of the unknown creature also trembled violently, as if it was in great pain, and it let out a deafening roar. The whole valley echoed with its painful wails.

When Wu Tao saw this scene, a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart. She immediately understood that that was the place where Taoist Lingxu attacked with all his might, and that was the weakness of the unknown creature!

"Bugui, attack there!" Wu Tao pointed at the flashing light and shouted.

Hu Bugui also noticed the abnormality. A fierce look flashed in his eyes. Without any hesitation, he clenched the sword in his hand, pushed hard with his feet, and rushed towards the unknown creature like an arrow.

"Ah!" Hu Bugui roared angrily, concentrating all his strength on the sword and stabbing hard at the light spot.

"Roar——" The unknown creature seemed to feel threatened and twisted its body frantically, trying to get rid of Hu Bugui's attack, but its movements were slow due to the intense pain.

Seeing this, Wu Tao also rushed forward, with a dagger in her hand, which she had pulled out from Hu Bugui's waist. She stabbed the dagger at the light without hesitation.

With a "puff", the dagger pierced into the body of the unknown creature. Blood gushed out and splashed all over Wu Tao.

The unknown creature roared in pain, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang, and the entire valley seemed to shake.

Everyone who saw this scene was stunned. They couldn’t believe that this terrible monster was defeated like this?

However, before they could recover from their shock, Xingchen, who had been hiding in Wu Tao's arms, suddenly broke free from her arms and ran towards the unknown creature...

"Xingchen! Come back!" Wu Tao's heart suddenly tightened, and he wanted to chase Xingchen without thinking.

"Don't go!" Hu Bugui grabbed her and said hurriedly, "It's struggling to survive now. It's too dangerous!"

Wu Tao was not willing to give up. She looked at the small figure of Xingchen anxiously, only to see him running to the huge creature, picking up a stone with great effort, and throwing it hard at the unknown creature.

The stone bounced off the huge body of the unknown creature without causing any damage, but it was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing thousands of waves.

The unknown creature was enraged by the continuous attacks. It rolled over in pain. The ground in the valley shook and countless rocks rolled down from the top of the mountain. Everyone was unstable and could be buried by the rocks at any time.

"Oh no! Get out of the way!" Taoist Lingxu exclaimed, and everyone finally reacted and started looking for cover to hide.

Wu Tao picked up Xingchen and held him tightly in his arms, but found that Hu Bugui and the mysterious woman were not far away, and their way was blocked by a huge rock.

"Come here quickly!" Hu Bugui shouted anxiously, but his voice was drowned out by the deafening sound of falling rocks.

Wu Tao was extremely anxious. Seeing a huge rock was about to fall towards Hu Bugui, she pushed Xingchen aside without thinking and reached out to the rock.

"Tao'er, don't!" Hu Bugui's eyes were bloodshot as he watched Wu Tao's slender figure being swallowed by the boulder.
