Chapter 1478: Shall We Together
Chapter 1478: Shall We Together
Seeing Feng Mofeng appear, they also noticed a massive, swarming crowd of figures rushing over from the distance.
Only then did the Toad realize the gravity of the situation. A hint of regret flashed in its eyes, secretly lamenting that it shouldn't have been so greedy just now. However, seeing the black-clad youth charge forward with his sword without a second word, it also gritted its teeth, tightly gripped its giant pitchfork, and used its massive body to clear the way!
The two guys had been fighting ceaselessly just moments ago, but now they swept left and right like vanguards to open a path. The giant pitchfork swung with wide, sweeping arcs, while the sword gleamed with an impenetrable defense. Their cooperation was surprisingly flawless!
So much so that even Feng Mofeng found it difficult to parry their combined assault!
Yi Feng watched the snail, protected behind them, and realized not a single weapon could get close!
Seeing this, a ruthless light flashed in Feng Mofeng's eyes. He suddenly stomped his foot and launched a sneak attack toward Yi Feng!
Targeting the weakest link once again, he was repeating his despicable tricks!
The Toad and the black-clad youth's eyes practically spat fire at the sight, but they were surrounded and besieged by numerous Tianyuan Sect disciples, rendering them temporarily unable to pull away and help!
Seeing Feng Mofeng's sinister palm strike closing in on Yi Feng, the situation became incredibly critical!
The two guys cursed out loud in fury!
"You old bastard!"
"Don't you dare, you dog!"
No matter how furious they were, erupting with death-defying cultivation bases to break through the surrounding cage of blade lights and sword rain, they were still unable to catch up to Feng Mofeng's back!
It seemed that the palm strike was about to severely injure Yi Feng.
In that split second.
Relying on his profound cultivation, Yi Feng gritted his teeth and tightly held the giant snail. He pushed his movement technique to the limit to twist and evade, using his spiritual energy to block the palm wind. At the same time, the snail seemed to share a telepathic connection with him; it twisted its body to shift its center of gravity and spat out a stream of acid from its mouth!
In less than a breath's time.
This man and snail coordinated as flawlessly as old friends. Not only did they thrillingly dodge the palm strike aimed at a vital spot, but they also completely neutralized the palm wind, emerging almost entirely uninjured.
What was even more outrageous was that the snail's mouthful of acid was spat with absolute precision, severely injuring Feng Mofeng's eyes!
After this single exchange.
Yi Feng merely tumbled into the woods beside the stone steps while holding the snail. Feng Mofeng, however, had his eyes corroded by the acid. Bursts of mist rose from his face as he roared in agony!
"Argh!"
"My eyes!"
While Feng Mofeng frantically clutched his eyes, his body thrashing about wildly.
The giant pitchfork and longsword attacked from behind at the same time, jointly piercing through his body on the spot. By the time the two weapons withdrew their force, Feng Mofeng collapsed in agony, his spiritual energy leaking and a mist of blood spraying from his body!
In just a few breaths, he stopped moving.
The Fourth Elder of the Tianyuan Sect had perished!
This sudden turn of events not only shocked the surrounding Tianyuan Sect disciples into a stunned retreat but also left the black-clad youth and the Toad completely dumbfounded.
"That actually worked?!"
They never expected that the sneaky elder would be wounded by a hidden attack from an inconspicuous snail. The teamwork between the snail and Yi Feng was absurdly perfect!
Seeing that Feng Mofeng was dead and the surroundings were intimidated.
The black-clad youth finally came to his senses. He helped up the fallen Yi Feng and the giant snail, then looked at Feng Mofeng's corpse and viciously let out a breath!
"This sneaky bastard is finally dead!"
Even so, recalling Feng Mofeng's despicable sneak attack on the New Sword Sect disciples, which had caused the deaths of over ten lovely sect members, he still felt indignant and couldn't help but spit!
"Bah!"
"Dying like this is too easy on this vile character! If I meet him in my next life, I'll definitely make him experience the consequences of being a backstabber!"
Although the Toad didn't quite understand these words and was facing Feng Mofeng for the first time, it had deeply witnessed the old man's shamelessness and couldn't help but mimic the spitting!
"Ptooey!"
Who would have thought that the saliva spat from its massive mouth would be so thick and voluminous that it literally drowned Feng Mofeng's corpse.
The surrounding disciples felt a deep chill of disgust, but the black-clad youth suddenly felt much better. His eyes filled with satisfaction as he praised the giant toad!
"Great spit, brother! The elegance of your loogie is second only to my own!"
Even though this praise wasn't exactly pleasing to the ear, the youth had just pulled the Toad out of danger, and the Toad now realized the youth had saved its life, so it smiled and nodded gladly.
"Hahaha, you flatter me!"
With just a few words, all misunderstandings vanished. Unconsciously, they became more familiar with each other, and their relationship grew very harmonious.
Right at this moment.
Furious roars echoed from the horizon as several tyrannical auras flew toward them!
"Tianyuan Sect disciples, hear my command! Slay these treacherous thieves!"
"Today, no matter the cost, their souls must be entirely eradicated!"
The roars shook the air, jolting thousands of disciples awake.
Boiling killing intent echoed all around. Seeing the situation becoming increasingly dangerous, even though the Toad and the black-clad youth had extraordinary combat power and tacit teamwork, two fists were no match for four hands. They knew deeply that they couldn't afford to be delayed by the endless stream of Tianyuan Sect members.
If they dragged this out for a few more breaths, once all the Tianyuan Sect experts arrived, they would face certain doom today!
In desperation.
The Toad gripped its steel pitchfork in one hand, leaned its body forward, and hurriedly shouted to the people behind it!
"Quick! Everyone climb onto my back!"
Yi Feng and the youth didn't have time to overthink. While fending off the surrounding attacks, they pushed the snail and climbed onto the Toad's back!
The next moment.
The Toad leaped into the air, darting straight toward the dense forest on the hillside by the road. Its massive figure vaulted dozens of feet, vanishing into the endless Yandang Mountain in the blink of an eye.
No matter how the disciples behind chased after them, they could only see knocked-down tree trunks and flying dust, watching helplessly as this bizarre little squad disappeared from sight.
Even the numerous experts flying through the air and the Tianyuan Sect Master could only gnash their teeth in helpless frustration!
Yandang Mountain stretched for hundreds of miles, its dense forests blocking out the sun.
Even though they could fly through the sky in pursuit, they could no longer spot the figures hidden in the depths. They could only issue grim orders, venting the fury in their hearts!
When they hurriedly rushed into the treasury.
They saw the somewhat empty cave dwelling. Now, less than seventy percent of the remaining treasures were left. Years of painstaking accumulation had vanished into thin air in a single day.
Jin Zhenyuan roared out in sheer rage on the spot!
"Pass down my orders! All sect members are to begin searching the mountain. Even if we have to turn Yandang Mountain into scorched earth, we must exterminate this group of treacherous thieves!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he spat out a mist of blood. Supported by the panicked crowd, he was hastily sent back to the Sect Master's main hall to recuperate.
Before dawn had even broken.
The entire Tianyuan City had descended into absolute chaos. The shocking news of the Tianyuan Sect's treasury being robbed spread to hundreds of sects in the surrounding area, leaving various factions on the borders of the Blazing Fire Kingdom in utter disbelief.
...
Half a day passed in the blink of an eye.
The Toad carried the group, leaping and darting through the dense forest. They had already traveled five hundred miles and were almost out of Yandang Mountain's range. Only when no pursuers were in sight did it collapse to the ground, panting heavily.
The others also sprawled on the ground, gasping for breath.
It was unknown how long they rested, but the group gradually recovered from their brush with death. The Toad, however, was still panting heavily, clearly having exhausted a great deal of energy!
Seeing this, Yi Feng, the black-clad youth, and the snail all gathered around to care for it with concern. A look of guilt gradually surfaced in the snail's eyes; it secretly lowered its head in silence, seeming to have made some kind of resolution.
Seeing that the Toad was still struggling, the group immediately got to work. The spoils from the treasury were placed in front of the Toad, and a variety of healing pills and spiritual treasures were laid out on the ground without the slightest hesitation!
To everyone's surprise, after a short while, under their incredibly tense gazes, the toad slowly rolled over, sat up against a century-old tree, and leisurely uttered a sentence.
Haa...
I ate... I ate way too much, I'm so stuffed! I need to rest a bit!
This single sentence almost made the rest of them fall over!
The black-clad young man laughed out of sheer exasperation. He pulled a jar of wine from his spatial ring and tossed it over!
Damn it!
And here I was, worried sick for half the day, only to find out you're just bloated! Hurry up and take a few gulps to wash it down, lest you throw up later!
Who told you to eat so many spirit herbs and precious materials? It would be a huge waste if you puked them up!
Though he was cursing and grumbling, his words carried undeniable concern.
The toad could not be bothered to bicker. He caught the small wine jar with a smile. Grasped in his giant webbed hand, the large wine jar looked just like a tiny wine cup.
With a slurp, the entire jar of wine went down his belly.
Now...
Not only did the black-clad young man double over with laughter, but even Yi Feng could not hold it in anymore. Even the usually reticent snail was trembling with mirth on the side.
Hahahaha...
As the saying goes, out of blows, friendship grows.
Having experienced a minor friction and then surviving a life-and-death ordeal together, the two humans and two demons, who had just met for the first time, grew to appreciate each other more and more. Their temperaments matched perfectly. As they drank and chatted, their dynamic became increasingly harmonious.
Hearing the toad and the snail introduce themselves, the black-clad young man smiled even more radiantly.
My name is Er Pang.
My name is Da Bai...
Pfft, hahaha! Er Pang, that is a great name! The frog truly lives up to his name!
The toad was a bit annoyed by the laughter, but seeing the black-clad young man's hearty demeanor and glancing at the dozens of empty wine jars at his feet, he magnanimously wiped the wine stains from his mouth and did not mind it too much.
You guy, I will let it slide this time! But let us get one thing straight, you are not allowed to tell anyone else my name, or I will not let you off!
There was still some bickering, but the atmosphere was much more peaceful.
Laughter rang out continuously among them, and they drank with increasing gusto.
After a round of hearty drinking and deep conversation.
The toad and the snail learned a bit about Yi Feng's past, at times looking surprised and at other times sighing in sympathy. Hearing about how he met the black-clad young man and the deep friendship between the two, their eyes filled with envy and admiration. At the same time, their opinion of the black-clad young man improved even more, praising him as a loyal and righteous fellow.
Yi Feng also learned from the conversation that this giant toad and snail also had grudges against the Heavenly Fate Sect. They would occasionally go there to cause some destruction and grab something to eat as compensation.
Speaking of which.
The black-clad young man suddenly perked up and looked at the toad in surprise!
Goodness, so you also fight guerrilla warfare just like me! We truly are demons of the same path!
How about it, want to team up from now on?
These novel words drew the snail's curious gaze.
The toad also put down the small wine cup in his hand, looking down with a bewildered expression.
What does fight guerrilla warfare mean?
Hearing this, the black-clad young man and Yi Feng looked at each other and smiled.
Then, the black-clad young man began to explain it vividly. As the sun set in the west, the two humans and two demons chatted more and more congenially. From time to time, sounds of sudden realization and amazement echoed from deep within the forest, and their laughter grew ever more cheerful and unrestrained...
