Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 441 - 25: The Cannon Fodder Eldest Senior Sister in Cultivation Novels (25)
Jiang Lai definitely wouldn’t run far, needing to find a good spot to watch the show. After thinking for a while, she simply sat under the pavilion where Rong Yin had been hiding. Conveniently, there was a pot of tea in front of her, and Jiang Lai unceremoniously poured herself a cup, sighing leisurely.
"Being an immortal is really nice, as light as a swallow, feeling completely comfortable."
"In this world, you can’t live like you did before—immortals’ lifespans are infinitely long. With your current cultivation level, living another hundred or two hundred thousand years wouldn’t be a problem. I don’t want to exhaust myself to death."
Jiang Lai waved her hand.
"Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing."
In every world, she tries her best to experience and complete the mission, feeling the different lives, so she gets bored staying in the same place for long.
The task in this world is actually very difficult, but Little Buding gave her a thick enough golden finger, specifically picking the tough fights. After a few rounds, there basically were no opponents for Jiang Lai in the sky.
Of course, Chu Xiuhuan in front of her counts as one.
The title of King of Ten Thousand Demons is no joke. Just look at how Rong Yin has been beaten, his previously spotless white robe soaked in blood.
In the original plot, even though Chu Xiuhuan had greatly increased his cultivation, Rong Yin was still capable of battling him. However, now, having been injured in the immortal vein by Jiang Lai’s sword, he basically stands no chance against Chu Xiuhuan.
Meng Tao stood nearby, helplessly crying, pleading for the fighting two to stop.
Chu Xiuhuan naturally wouldn’t let such a good opportunity pass by. As the final palm was about to strike Rong Yin heavily, Meng Tao gritted her teeth and flew in front of Rong Yin.
Seeing the situation, Jiang Lai, from a distance, set a trap against Chu Xiuhuan, charging her big move. Just as Meng Tao was about to complete her first sacrifice, a powerful electric current unexpectedly hit Chu Xiuhuan’s back.
The sudden pain interrupted Chu Xiuhuan’s attack abruptly. Meng Tao was stunned, thinking he had softened and let her go, and ran over to support him.
"Brother Han, Brother Han, are you okay... please stop fighting, okay? Master, spare him. Isn’t there a place under heaven vast enough to accommodate him?!"
At this point, the already battered Rong Yin watched the scene in front of him, his eyes completely full of hurt.
Having already injured his immortal vein and now being so infuriated, Rong Yin clutched his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood. All the immortal soldiers immediately surrounded him, waiting for his orders.
But he coldly commanded.
"No one is allowed to move!"
This is their matter to resolve on their own!
The immortal soldiers looked at each other, helplessly retreating.
What does the Immortal Venerable mean by this? Isn’t now the best time to capture the heavily wounded Chu Xiuhuan?
Who is he competing with? Jiang Lai saw it clearly. Rong Yin was proud, always considered the strongest combat force in the Immortal Realm. Now, after being easily defeated by Jiang Lai and nearly losing to Chu Xiuhuan, how could he allow outside assistance.
"Are you planning on letting them stalemate like this? Sometimes you help Rong Yin, other times Chu Xiuhuan, what are you trying to do?"
Even Little Buding didn’t understand.
Wouldn’t it be less troublesome to have one finish off the other?
Moreover, the male lead is supposed to eliminate Chu Xiuhuan, given the halo.
Jiang Lai leisurely sipped her tea. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
"Do you remember what the first task was?"
"I remember... oh, you’ve got a way of tormenting people."
If one side overwhelms the other, what’s there to see anyway? They must continue like this, unable to defeat each other, mutually fighting and tormenting, just as in the original plot where they manipulated the original owner. Jiang Lai retaliates in kind, and Little Buding watches as the first task’s progress bar continues to rise and fill up.
Jiang Lai tapped the table.
"Look, Chu Xiuhuan is about to make a move."
"Strike when the iron is hot," was a tactic he understood well. As Meng Tao shielded him, and as Rong Yin was vomiting blood from anger, he directly manipulated the short blade in his sleeve, stabbing towards Rong Yin’s chest.
As Rong Yin groaned, furrowing his brows, Meng Tao still knelt and begged him to spare Chu Xiuhuan.
She always felt she was saving the destiny of a prodigy of heaven, and her master had always accommodated and indulged her without limits. Surely, this time would be the same, agreeing to her every demand with a sigh as before.
It wasn’t until she saw his robe dyed with fresh blood that Meng Tao realized something was wrong.
"Master... what’s wrong?"
Rong Yin clutched his chest, yanked out the short blade, and watched as the wound oozed blood, thick with demonic qi, a trace of panic fleeting across his eyes.
This demon blade had been soaked with the blood of countless demons, and now it was lodged in his body.
He could feel the immortal energy within him being disturbed by an external force, his blood boiling, limbs trembling, and pushed Meng Tao aside with a palm strike to his own chest.
He wanted to expel the demonic qi from within, but regardless of what he did now, nothing was effective; the demon poison had already seeped into his entire body.
Either he’d waste all his cultivation to preserve his immortal body.
Or, he allows the demonic qi to erode him until he becomes a fallen demon like Chu Xiuhuan.
Rong Yin, prideful all his life, having slayed countless demons, has always viewed demons as the most disdainful filth, and now how could he watch himself become one?
With reddened eyes, he looked at Meng Tao.
"Do what you want in the future, I can no longer control you."
With that, he used his last bit of strength to turn into a wisp of smoke, returning to the Immortal Realm. Seeing this, all the immortal soldiers immediately encircled Chu Xiuhuan and Meng Tao.
Meng Tao, still with a sleepwalking expression, dazedly repeating the words Rong Yin just spoke to her.
What did it mean?
How did he get hurt?
"Was it you?"
Chu Xiuhuan, with a face of indifference, slowly stood up, smiling wickedly.
"It was me, so what?"
"You used me!!"
"You were the one who rushed to save me, eager to be the savior, and now what? Don’t want to continue saving me, the great demon, anymore?"
Meng Tao trembled all over, looking at his unabashed laughter, his once handsome features now twisted and sinister, far from the graceful image she imagined!
The immortal soldiers were no match for him, and just as Chu Xiuhuan was about to escape, Heavenly Pity Immortal Venerable arrived with his disciples, setting up a Thunder Array to block Chu Xiuhuan’s path.
Meng Tao climbed up, stumbled to Heavenly Pity Immortal Venerable, and knelt down crying.
"Immortal Venerable, he hurt my master and many of my fellow senior brothers. You must execute him on the spot and restore clarity to the world!!"
Heavenly Pity Immortal Venerable frowned, glanced at her but ignored her, personally joining the fight against Chu Xiuhuan.
The King of Ten Thousand Demons’ strength was formidable, but outnumbered, he was eventually defeated.
