"Alright, you said it!" Qiaoqiao pointed at the golden toad's head, " Nangong Gua, look who's here!"
The golden toad suddenly looked up, and a figure descended from the sky. With the ethereal singing, everyone present was momentarily dazed. When they looked again, the figure had already landed above their heads; it was none other than Madam Rushui.
Holding a short dagger, she stabbed it towards the top of the golden toad's head!
The dagger gleamed coldly, and with a single thrust, it pierced through the golden toad's head, splattering green demonic blood.
This scene startled everyone; the golden toad in front of them was at the Bandit Cultivator! They only dared to watch from afar. If Elder Bing hadn't been steadily drawing aggro, they wouldn't have dared to watch, as they might have lost their lives if they weren't careful.
The Golden Toad was already invincible; how could that stab have injured him so badly? What kind of dagger was that?!
"Like--water--"
Nangong let out a deafening roar, sending the Painted Skin Demon above her flying. It crashed to the ground like a broken kite, vomiting a mouthful of blood. Though severely injured in the lungs and internal organs, she smiled with satisfaction as she looked at the dagger deeply embedded in the golden toad's head. " Nangong Gua, you've finally met your match!"
As the dagger plunged in, the golden toad's blood gushed out like a fountain, and its Demon Power was also drained away. Its enormous, mountain-like body gradually shrank. Elder Bing seized the opportunity and scrambled away.
"What kind of Law Artifact is that?"
"Could it be Heaven Grade Law Artifact?!"
"Even Heaven Grade Law Artifact couldn't do that, right?"
Given his Peak Tribulation Transcendence stage, there was nothing in the Three Realms that could harm him. So what exactly was the magical Law Artifact used by Madam Rushui that could injure him so badly?
The elders and protectors in mid-air exchanged glances, then shook their heads, completely baffled.
"Junior Sister, what kind of Law Artifact is that?" Xiao Tingyu and Fu Fengyuan asked at the same time.
Almost simultaneously, the entire crowd of onlookers turned to Qiaoqiao, their ears perked up—what on earth was that?
Everyone felt that if there was anyone who knew the answer at this moment, it must be Junior Sister Qiao. Even Elder Bing, who had rolled down the hillside, looked at Qiaoqiao.
And Qiaoqiao certainly didn't disappoint. Under everyone's gaze, Qiaoqiao spoke loudly, "That's just an ordinary dagger!"
Everyone:???
this??
"But how could an ordinary dagger possibly harm it?"
"Because... its babies are on there!"
Everyone:!!!
What's going on?!
Chapter 51 Threat
Qiaoqiao's words shocked and puzzled everyone: What did she mean by "having its offspring"?
Seeing Madam Rushui sprawled on the ground, Xiao Tingyu suddenly clapped her hands. "I know! The dagger was coated with toad eggs!!"
Everyone:...
So that's how it is!
In mid-air, Protector Cheng suddenly realized, " The Golden Toad Demon's skin is incredibly tough; ordinary sharp weapons cannot pierce it, let alone since it has just raised its cultivation to the Tribulation Transcendence Stage. Only by applying the Golden Toad Egg to a sharp weapon can we inflict a fatal wound on this demon."
Elder Lin asked, "Where did those golden toad eggs come from?"
Upon hearing the news, the Commandant Feng and sighed, "It's probably Madam Rushui..."
Everyone wore complicated expressions. Considering the relationship between the two, it seemed that Madam Rushui had truly upheld justice even at the cost of her own family, and wasn't she using her own child...?
Looking again at the fallen Madam Rushui, she was now on the verge of death. The painted skin that she maintained with Demon Power had disappeared, and she had turned into a pure white demon, slender in shape and pale in color, just like a blank sheet of paper.
In mid-air, an elder stroked his beard, deep in thought, and said, "This... can a painted skin and a golden toad have a child?"
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
That's a great question! Who knows?
Humans, demons, and monsters are Rushui enemies, never interacting with each other. The Demon Realm is relatively closed off, and cultivators have little understanding of the Demon Race. Painted Skin Demon are even rarer. Who can solve this problem?
this...
Everyone looked at Qiaoqiao again.
"Sure, but--"
but?
"Second Senior Sister, why do you ask that?" Qiaoqiao looked at Xiao Tingyu, "This is not Madam Rushui's child."
"Huh?" Xiao Tingyu was dumbfounded. "This Nangong Gua has another lover?"
Wasn't he deeply in love with Elder Bing?
I've been watching this drama unfold for a while now. If Elder Bing takes the Saint Pill and chooses to share his cultivation with Nangong, shouldn't it avoid triggering that spell?
However, the fact that it could plant such a spell so silently suggests that it doesn't trust Bing Yan.
Qiaoqiao shook her head again, " Nangong Gua plans to ascend with Elder Bing today. Before ascending, it left some golden toad eggs in the icy pool at the border of the Demon Race, waiting for the right opportunity for these eggs to hatch."
"Wait!" Xiao Tingyu noticed the blind spot. "It... it's not male, is it?!"
"As a mature Golden Toad Demon, it has already cultivated to the Mahayana Stage, so changing its gender is not a difficult task for it."
Xiao Tingyu:...
She's just ignorant.
So to be precise, Madam Rushui smeared on the dagger was the egg that Nangong Gua himself had left behind. He originally intended to leave something behind in this world after ascending to immortality, but unexpectedly it became his death warrant.
"But why did Madam Rushui kill it?"
Having just overheard Junior Sister's thoughts, it seems that Madam Rushui and Nangong each got what they wanted. She already knew about the affair between Nangong and Bing Yan, so why did she suddenly harbor murderous intent? Could it be because Nangong didn't take her with him when he ascended to Nangong?
" Madam Rushui did not wish to ascend; she only wanted to stay in the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion and enjoy her current life. She knew of Nangong's plan long ago, but only asked that Nangong Gua leave her enough pills before ascending so that she could continue to conceal her Yao Qi and not be discovered."
