Quick Transmigration: Refusing to Be a Victim's Child

Chapter 367 The Cultivation Protagonist Trifled With by the Bullet Comments (16)

The jade box struck Lü Chacha's forehead, spilling the ointment inside. But before the pale green ointment could even touch her skin, she screamed in terror and knocked it to the ground.

"Buzzing—"

Suddenly, the demonic insects that had been wandering around in the miasma surged towards the patch of plaster on the ground like a tidal wave.

In the blink of an eye, the ground was gnawed away, even the stones underneath were chewed up, leaving only a small pit half a foot deep.

Seeing this, everyone cautiously took a few steps back. At that moment, Senior Sister Fang spoke up:

"This 'flower face cream' was given to me by her half a month ago, but I never imagined it was a poison she had tampered with. I only refused her request at the time, and she tried to take my life."

Such a ruthless woman, aren't you afraid she'll take the opportunity to escape and seek revenge later?

Senior Sister Fang raised her disfigured face, staring intently at everyone, and said in a low, eerie tone:

"Moreover, Master has always been biased towards this woman. Even someone as talented as Senior Brother Shao would find it difficult to gain an advantage compared to her, let alone you and me."

"Which of you can be sure you haven't offended her?"

Upon hearing this, the disciples of Feiyu Peak were stunned. They were clearly aware of Lü Chacha's importance in the heart of Peak Master Liyun. But if they killed her now, who would bear the wrath of their master when they returned to the sect?

For a moment, everyone hesitated.

Before they could reach a conclusion, a woman's shrill wail suddenly rang in their ears.

"Ahhh!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that a long sword was stuck in Lü Chacha's body. The sword quickly pierced through the woman's dantian, stirred inside, and then severed her remaining tendons in her hands and feet after being pulled out.

Shao Linshen deftly shook the blood off the sword, sheathed it again, and said coldly:

"This place is not safe to stay any longer. Since you can't come up with a solution, I will eliminate her ability to harm people for you."

After saying that, with everyone's tacit approval, he grabbed the woman by the collar and prepared to drag her away.

Just then, the serpent that had been driven back into the cold pool suddenly leaped out of the water, opened its huge mouth and swallowed the woman, then stirred up a gust of demonic wind, sweeping the miasma towards everyone, before turning around and diving back into the bottom of the pool.

……

As the python disappeared into the icy pool, the disciples of the Sword Sect rushed to stop it. However, Shao Linshen, who was closest to the edge of the pool, went in the opposite direction and rushed towards the white fox hiding in the corner.

If it were anyone else who was seriously injured and devoured by the demonic python, they would surely die. But that woman was a ruthless character who could kill the original protagonist and collude with the Demon Lord, causing chaos in the cultivation world. She wouldn't die so easily.

Shao Linshen had not forgotten the white fox's ability to take another's life. Even though the beast only had one life left, with the master-servant contract in place, the woman would have another chance to live. As for the beast's life or death, the other party did not care at all.

"Waaah—Aww—"

Perhaps sensing the danger, the white fox hissed and howled at Shao Linshen, its body slightly bent and its fur standing on end, as it tried to escape to the side of the Feiyu Peak disciples to be rescued.

Unfortunately, just as it crouched and leaped up, its pupils suddenly contracted, and its body stiffened as it plummeted to the ground.

"Waaah—Aww—"

A pitiful cry came from the white fox's mouth.

Immediately afterwards, the fox's body seemed to be wiped away by an invisible giant hand, and in an instant, half of its body disappeared without a trace, along with the life force and spiritual energy within it.

Shao Linshen moved swiftly, his eyes flashing with golden light, and he clearly "saw" a scarlet silk thread on the white fox's body, one end wrapped around it and the other end sinking straight into the cold pool.

He swung his longsword, a glint of merit flashing on the blade, and slashed straight at the red line. With a muffled "thud," the white fox, which was about to lose its life, was "luckily" saved.

Well, this beast has lost an eye, half of its face, and one of its front paws and the rest of its body below the belly has all "disappeared," but at least it can still breathe now.

Perhaps the commotion was too great, or perhaps everyone was ultimately unable to stop the demonic python, but when they stopped and turned around, they noticed the terrible state of the white fox.

Facing their surprised and suspicious gazes, Shao Linshen calmly kicked the fox at his feet to the tiger cubs, leaving them to guard it, and then said with a composed expression:

"This beast tried to run away but I spotted it. However, before I could subdue it, its flesh and life force began to drain away rapidly. It seems that... Lü Chacha did something to cause this."

After all, this fox was the other party's contracted spirit beast. The master-servant contract has always been domineering: if the master dies, the servant obeys; if the servant dies, the master is merely seriously injured.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as they looked at the white fox, who was barely alive but still breathing.

Therefore, it is clear that the woman is still alive at this moment.

No one doubted Shao Linshen's explanation, so when he suggested going into the water to find someone, everyone assumed that he was afraid of being blamed by Peak Master Li Yun and the others after returning to the sect.

After all, if he hadn't broken through Lü Chacha's dantian and severed her tendons, the demonic python wouldn't have had a chance to swallow her.

Some demonic beasts have always enjoyed eating spiritual things, especially cultivators whose bodies contain spiritual energy, who are considered rare "elixirs" by demonic beasts.

If the demonic python is allowed to digest Lü Chacha, it will be even more difficult for everyone to deal with this monster.

Since this man surnamed Shao took the initiative to go into the water to lure out the demon python, the others naturally did not stop him.

However, despite their inner grumbling, they still had to offer some words of advice on the surface, so that if this man surnamed Shao also died in the mouth of the demon python, they could shirk their responsibility.

"My mind is made up, there's no need for anyone to stop me."

“As the saying goes, ‘If she’s alive, we should see her; if she’s dead, we should see her body.’ Senior Brother Wei is right. Even if Lü Chacha’s crimes are heinous, she should be brought back to the sect and severely punished. We’re all fellow disciples, so we should try to bring her back.”

As for whether they will bring back a corpse or a living person, that's anyone's guess.

After Shao Linshen finished speaking with righteous indignation, he prepared to jump into the pool, even refusing Wei Wujiu's suggestion to go into the water with him.

The group was gathered around the pool, but they didn't notice the spot where "Junior Brother Cheng's" body had fallen not far away. Suddenly, space distorted for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, the headless corpse on the ground also blurred, and a sword wound appeared on its chest at some unknown time.

The demonic insects hidden in the miasma seemed to have caught a whiff of something, and surged toward the corpse like a tidal wave, devouring it in just a few moments until only a skeleton remained...
