Chapter 210 is never-ending.
After checking the map, she realized that the location was between Fuyun Mountain and her. She couldn't run too fast, though. The old man had just passed by, and if he went to rescue her, and she ran faster than the Light Cloud Beast, everything would be exposed.
She quickly replied with a message: Hang in there, I'm on my way, fifty miles. Ning Xiaoxi
After replying to the message, Wood Step combined with Wind Step to accelerate.
While running, I clicked on the detailed map. Fuyu Valley, though not a proper valley, is a deep canyon. Looking at the terrain, it's a perfect ambush spot. If we block both sides, set up an ambush on the slopes, throw in a pile of rocks and arrows, light a wildfire, and send in some poisonous smoke, they'll be lucky to escape with their lives!
Considering the enemy's possible actions, Ning Xiaoxi didn't rush into the valley, but instead went around to the back of the mountain.
As Ning Xiaoxi climbed up from behind, she indeed saw a row of soldiers firing arrows. Oh, they looked like soldiers, but their strength and speed were astonishing.
You can also see thick smoke billowing from the opposite valley, and you can smell the corrosive odor from that smoke even from a distance.
Damn, they really are shameless!
The Spirit Crystal Heart Whip was covered with thorns. With a single lash, more than a dozen heads flew into the air. Those who were shooting towards the valley saw the heads rolling into the valley. Some turned around and began shooting arrows at Ning Xiaoxi, while others continued to draw their bows towards the valley.
The whip spun, spraying blood droplets as it lashed out at the archers, the wind whistling as it claimed more than a dozen heads. The Illusionary Python scales flashed, and Ning Xiaoxi vanished instantly, reappearing in the crowd. Her Spirit Crystal Dagger, gleaming coldly, sliced through necks, sending blood spurting everywhere.
When Ning Xiaoxi stood alone on the hilltop and looked down, she realized that a trapping formation had trapped Di Fei and five subordinates. Judging from the strength of the trapping formation, although it was not as strong as her Heaven and Earth Forbidden Formation, it was much more powerful than the Cursed Lock Cage. At least it could trap them all without any problem.
Amidst the pervasive poisonous smoke, only Di Fei remained conscious enough to fight off the trapping formation and arrow attacks, while also having to spare the energy to help his subordinates defend against the attacks. He was truly on the verge of collapse.
Ning Xiaoxi placed her hands on two trees beside her, and the roots began to grow wildly, winding like snakes into the valley, forcefully breaking through the binding array patterns, thus breaking the array. Undeterred, she charged straight towards the opposite hillside, disrupting the order of the enemy's attacks.
The earth dragon surged and pressed down on the burning poisonous grass at the edge of the formation, burying all of it.
Di Fei looked at Ning Xiaoxi, who was fighting against the light on the hillside, and a sincere smile couldn't help but appear on his usually cold face.
"Oh my god, big brother, what are you laughing at right now?" Ning Xiaoxi's eyes swept over Di Fei's smiling face, and she almost burst out laughing. Why is he so troublesome!
Di Fei turned around, drew his sword, and charged into the crowd descending the opposite hillside. His Wind and Thunder Sword Technique summoned lightning to the ground, sending those people flying backward. His five subordinates, each like a tiger entering and exiting a gate, unleashed their spells as if they were free, and in an instant, the dozens of people on the opposite side were wiped out.
Ning Xiaoxi remained on the hillside, watching the counterattack from the opposite side complete and the group quickly approach. Ning Xiaoxi turned around, saying, "The feng shui here isn't good; let's leave first."
Ning Xiaoxi stopped after traveling about ten miles.
Di Fei and his subordinates stopped at the same time. Except for Di Fei, who remained aloof, the other subordinates looked embarrassed. Being saved twice by the same young woman in one day was something they found incredibly shameful.
Ning Xiaoxi seemed oblivious to their awkwardness, saying, "It's fate that we can meet twice in one day. I need to continue my journey, so I won't chat with you any longer." Being relentlessly pursued like this, she had already done more than enough by rescuing them twice; she didn't want to get involved in anything inexplicable.
Di Fei nodded. "Don't worry, Officer Ning, we were just lucky."
Ning Xiaoxi smiled and waved, then turned and left, not wanting to stay for even a moment longer.
Di Fei watched Ning Xiaoxi's disappearing figure and said softly, "We were just lucky to have escaped these two crises."
The subordinate officers looked at each other and nodded. "The enemy is too strong, and we are also seriously injured. We must go back and rest well."
"Yes! They hurt us so badly that they even resorted to sewing clothes with needles and thread."
"That's right, I even lost my jade pendant and have to go back to apply for a replacement."
Upon hearing this, Di Fei glanced at him and said, "Adjust the route and get back to the royal city as soon as possible."
Ning Xiaoxi quickened her pace, thinking that once she could no longer see him, she would be within a hundred miles and safe from any distress signals.
Just when Ning Xiaoxi thought they couldn't see her and could leave in one step...
"Bang! Bang!"
The soaring spiritual energy and tremendous noise behind her were impossible for her to ignore.
Ning Xiaoxi was so angry she almost ground her teeth to powder. She looked back and couldn't help but notice the two black and white snakes writhing in the distance.
Inside the cave, Jiu Yu couldn't suppress the smile on his lips, while Xiao Xue laughed silently, bending over with laughter.
Ning Xiaoxi drew her Spirit Crystal Whip and turned to run back.
Two giant pythons, one black and one white, each over 100 meters long and as thick as a barrel, had two fleshy bumps on their foreheads.
Di Fei twirled his longsword, creating a flurry of wind and clouds, and lightning illuminated the sky as he used his sword to draw in heavenly thunder. In an instant, arcs of electricity crackled around the sword, thunder roared, and streaks of sword energy, carrying gale-force winds and lightning, shot towards the two giant pythons like arrows.
Sensing the threat, the black python raised its massive body high, its forked tongue flicking, and lunged forward to meet the sword energy, blocking the white python behind it. The sword energy and lightning struck the black python's body; its black scales suddenly emitted a dark light upon impact, clashing with the lightning and sparking a flurry of sparks, but failing to harm the python's core.
The five subordinates also acted quickly. Two of them, who were skilled in fire-attribute magic, rapidly formed hand seals. Instantly, two huge fireballs flew from their hands, like two blazing suns, crashing down on the white python with rolling heat waves.
Enveloped in the heatwave, the white python roared angrily as its body writhed in the flames, kicking up a cloud of dust.
At the same time, the two water-attribute officials waved their hands, and two water dragons surged from their palms, roaring as they charged towards the black python, attempting to suppress its movements. Meanwhile, the wind-attribute official fanned his magic fan, creating a tornado that merged with the water dragons and swept towards the black python, preventing it from turning back to rescue the white python trapped in the sea of fire.
The black python was slightly slowed down by the impact of the tornado water dragon. Di Fei seized the opportunity, his figure flashed, and he rushed towards the black python like a black lightning bolt. The long sword in his hand was wrapped with the power of wind and thunder, and he thrust it straight at the black python's vital spot.
The black python twisted and turned desperately to dodge, but was still slashed by the sword energy, its black scales falling off one after another. The tornado of water swept over the black python's body with a chilling roar, tearing up a patch of flesh and blood.
