Reborn Fairy Wife Takes Me on a Gaggle-Fire rampage

Chapter 213 Su Yun vs. Lu Yao

A graceful woman with a beautiful face stood there, bowing slightly to the local earth god, and said softly, "I am new to this esteemed place, and to be honest, I have come here to find a resurrection lamp. Do you know its whereabouts?" The woman, named Su Yun, had a clear and melodious voice, like a nightingale singing in a valley.

Upon hearing this, the Earth God frowned slightly, took a small step forward, looked the woman up and down, and asked in confusion, "I know nothing about this. Why are you so eager to find this Soul-Returning Lamp?"

Su Yun raised her head, looked firmly at the Earth God, and solemnly replied, "To be honest, I urgently need this lamp to save a life."

Hearing this, the Earth God couldn't help but sneer, shaking his head and saying, "Hmph, everyone who comes looking for this Soul-Returning Lamp claims to be saving someone. Girl, you're just one of them. Let me tell you the truth, this Soul-Returning Lamp was stolen by a deer demon many years ago."

Su Yun's heart tightened, but he still pressed on, unwilling to give up, "Then may I ask, old man, where does this deer demon live now?"

The Earth God casually pointed west and replied, "Just keep walking west along this road." As soon as he finished speaking, the Earth God vanished without a trace, leaving Su Yun standing alone.

Su Yun took a deep breath, steadied herself, and resolutely headed west. Along the way, she traversed mountains and valleys, passing through dense forests and rugged mountain paths, walking for an unknown amount of time. Just as she was feeling utterly exhausted, her eyes suddenly lit up. Not far ahead stood a huge stone signboard, on which three large characters were inscribed in a flamboyant style: "Lu Family Village."

Su Yun cautiously entered the village when suddenly a fierce wind arose, whipping up sand and stones. A gust of demonic wind swept in with overwhelming force. A figure abruptly appeared before him; upon closer inspection, it was a strange man with a human head and large deer antlers. This man had a ferocious face and exuded an eerie aura; he was undoubtedly the legendary deer demon.

"Where do you come from, and what brings you here?" the deer demon asked first, his voice as loud as a bell, making the leaves around him tremble.

Su Yun's heart skipped a beat, but she still forced herself to remain calm and replied, "You must be the deer demon?"

"What demon? My name is Lu Yao! Stop talking nonsense!" Lu Yao shouted angrily.

Su Yun took a deep breath and said bluntly, "I have come here for the Soul-Returning Lamp! I hope you can hand it over to me."

Lu Yao sneered, replying disdainfully, "Hmph, dream on! If you can defeat me, there might be room for negotiation! Otherwise, forget it!" Before she finished speaking, Lu Yao waved her hands, chanting incantations, and unleashed a magical spell. In an instant, the enormous antlers on her head began to rapidly transform, turning into countless small bushes of various shapes in the blink of an eye. These bushes intertwined densely, dazzling the eye, making it impossible to distinguish which one was the real antler.

Faced with such a bizarre situation, Su Yun dared not be careless. He quickly channeled his spiritual energy, clapping his hands together violently, instantly igniting a raging fire. The flames were fierce, like a roaring beast, baring its fangs and claws as it lunged at the deer antlers. However, unexpectedly, when the flames touched the antlers, they seemed to be under a spell, instantly transforming into a form formed of flowing water. Water and fire are mutually antagonistic, and Su Yun's attack immediately lost its effect.

Su Yun's hairpin soared into the air, emitting an icy purple light, and instantly transformed into countless hairpins, piercing towards the deer antlers, leaving only one antler in an instant.

At that critical moment, Su Yun muttered incantations, and the hairpin in her hand instantly burst into a dazzling light, transforming in the blink of an eye into a gleaming, incredibly sharp axe! She gripped the axe handle tightly, her arm muscles tense, ready to swing it powerfully and chop down fiercely at the target in front of her.

However, something unexpected happened! Just as Su Yun was about to make his move, the previously clearly visible antlers vanished without a trace, like smoke! This sudden turn of events startled Su Yun, who inwardly cried out in alarm.

At that moment, a wild laugh echoed throughout the space; it was Lu Yao. She laughed so hard she almost fell over, as if she'd witnessed the biggest joke in the world: "Hahahaha... You? You think you can take the Soul-Returning Lamp from me? What a fool!" As she spoke, Lu Yao's hands moved swiftly, unleashing an even more powerful spell. With each movement, dazzling rays of light erupted from her body, weaving into a dense net of light that enveloped Su Yun.

At the same time, many deer suddenly appeared from all around. They were agile and ran like the wind, rushing towards Su Yun. These deer were clearly not ordinary creatures; each one exuded a powerful aura.

Faced with such a perilous situation, Su Yun showed no fear. She gritted her teeth, gripped the mysterious scepter tightly in her right hand, and swung it forward with a sudden, powerful strike. In an instant, a purple light shot out like lightning, colliding violently with the net of light released by Lu Yao. Immediately afterward, the purple light expanded rapidly, forming a massive vortex that swept outward with overwhelming force. Wherever it passed, sand and stones flew, and fierce winds raged. Even Lu Yao's lair was shaken to its knees by this powerful force, nearly being completely destroyed!

Lu Yao clung tightly to the cave entrance, her petite body seemingly becoming one with it, guarding this mysterious entrance with all her might. Su Yun's gaze was intense as he stared at Lu Yao and the cave entrance, his conviction growing stronger that the legendary Soul-Returning Lamp must be hidden inside.

Su Yun gripped the scepter tightly with both hands and swung it forward without hesitation, unleashing a powerful force that instantly struck Lu Yao. However, Lu Yao was prepared. She let out a soft shout and mobilized all her spiritual power, quickly setting up a sturdy barrier in front of the cave entrance.

"Hmph, you think you can take the Soul-Returning Lamp? I'll get it today no matter what!" Su Yun's voice was cold and resolute. She swung her scepter again, this time unleashing even greater power than before. But Lu Yao showed no sign of backing down. She gritted her teeth and did her best to maintain the stability of the barrier.

Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, Lu Yao suddenly reached behind her and pulled out a chain that gleamed with a cold light. This chain was one of her secret treasures, and its power was extraordinary.

"You little brat, you don't know your place! Today I'll use this Immortal-Locking Chain to lock you up and see how arrogant you can be!" Lu Yao's eyes widened in anger, and the Immortal-Locking Chain in her hand danced like a serpent, sweeping towards Su Yun.
