There's no turning back. We have no choice but to keep going.
A hint of confusion flashed in White Plain's eyes. This was the first time since she was born that she had encountered the desperate situation her mother had described.
But she couldn't understand why, when she was making decisions based on her mother's teachings—that nothing is more reliable than her intuition in crucial moments—the result was like this.
The other party's calculations clearly indicated they knew I would do this, but what gave them the confidence to be so certain?
why is that?
She couldn't figure out the answer right now, but Chen Qing and Kagura, who were on the outside, understood the process immediately.
White Plain is a Heavenly Python with extensive experience in fighting in the outer heavens, and she follows the instincts of beasts like demons. If Chen Qing knew what White Plain was thinking at this moment, he would definitely have many feelings.
White Plain's mother was right. Demons' intuition is ingrained in their genes and is often incredibly accurate, but that doesn't mean it's always omnipotent.
You can use your intuition to judge things, and others can also use your intuition to scheme against you.
It can only be said that White Plain lost because she was too young and inexperienced. Most creatures like the Heavenly Python cannot pass on their knowledge for many generations and lack sufficient wisdom.
Intuition was correct. If the Ancient Demon killed Su Changqing and absorbed Su Changqing, who possessed the bloodline of a true dragon, it would rapidly evolve to the level of an insect in a short period of time. At that time, let alone White Plain, even Chen Qing himself was not confident of winning.
But he would need some time to metamorphose into a cocoon, which would take at least half an hour!
Therefore, White Plain's intuition was correct; she couldn't let the other party kill Su Changqing. However, her knowledge was insufficient. Even if the other party killed Su Changqing, they wouldn't be able to emerge from the cocoon in front of her in a short time. So there was no need to risk the dragon's flames to seal him off.
As for why the other party would do that intentionally, that's due to genetic advantage.
This Ancient Demon is also a larva, but its genes teach it how to deal with a Heavenly Python like White Plain. It will use the other's intuition to create a sense of crisis, thereby forcing White Plain to a dead end.
The difference in genes is not only reflected in strength, but also in the experience passed down through generations.
This was designed by Chen Qing from the very beginning, aiming for realism, but now it seems to have gone too far in terms of realism.
Thinking of this, Chen Qing looked up and saw that White Plain remained extremely calm. Even though she was engulfed in flames and her flesh was about to melt, she still maintained her physical strength and spiritual power. She did not impulsively accelerate, but waited for an opportunity to accelerate and catch up with her opponent.
But Chen Qing knew that the other party wouldn't give her that chance; finding an opportunity within ten breaths was too difficult.
It's almost safe to say the outcome is already decided.
If White Plain is eaten, and his students fail to discover the monster in time, something terrible could happen.
Chen Qing looked around. The oppressive presence of the Four Saints Guard was everywhere, clearly guarding against a sudden attack from his group. He was afraid it would be difficult for his side to provide support to the students. He wondered if Ziyue could provide some support.
What should we do?
Kagura seemed to have completely lost interest at this point, and actually sat down in a seat, closed her eyes to rest, seemingly very bored with the outcome.
It seems they have no intention of interfering at all. I originally thought I could use their apparent high regard for White Plain to orchestrate a plan, but now it seems...
Chen Qing frowned deeply. Should he really wait for Ziyue to make a move? But the situation was unclear, and acting rashly was the last thing he wanted to do. Not to mention the Four Saints Guard and the old Celestial Master hiding in the shadows, if he made a move, who knew if Kagura would find an opportunity to attack him as well?
While they were hesitating, Shen Qi and Chen Baifeng suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
Upon hearing the sound, Chen Qing quickly looked over, and his expression immediately relaxed.
This girl!
Am I going to die?
White Plain felt the burning pain approaching her internal organs. She knew that her time was running out. If she didn't make a quick effort, she would have no chance at all. If she had to use the wind technique again, she would be reduced to ashes within an instant!
Looking at the guy who seemed to be keeping a distance of three zhang from her, it seemed that she could catch up with just a little more effort, but White Plain knew that was impossible.
When she accelerated, the other person would accelerate as well; she could tell that the other person was holding back.
I'm really going to die.
Let's take a gamble!
My mother once said that if there's no turning back in a life-or-death situation, then fight with all your might. It's better than dying before you've exhausted your strength. To burn yourself out completely doesn't seem like a bad choice; at least you won't suffer the torment of being swallowed alive before you die.
What she fears most is the day she becomes food.
boom!
A flash of white light appeared in White Plain's pupils, and the elements around her surged. With all her might, the flames on her body instantly swelled to ten feet!
Chen Yun, who was ahead, seemed to have sensed everything. His grin widened, and his muscles twitched as he accelerated instantly. He knew that as long as he could survive this one moment, he would win!
By devouring this woman, he can completely transform into an adult insect, take over this body, and his genes tell him that once he becomes an adult insect, no one in this world will be his match!
This speed
The last glimmer of light faded from White Plain's eyes; she knew that every last breath was the most precious thing she could do.
She acted impulsively. If only this lesson could be etched into her genes and passed down to the next generation, but alas, she no longer has that chance.
White Plain closed her eyes in despair, waiting for the flames to consume everything around her; she would not allow herself to become food.
Chen Yun was not far away, frowned upon seeing this scene. He wanted to go back and stop it, but after thinking about it, he decided to be on the safe side and didn't do so. If the other party took the opportunity to counterattack, it wouldn't be worth it. At worst, he could just give up the woman's body. Wasn't there still that Su Family kid?
Sensing that the aura ahead remained still, White Plain completely gave up hope. She had indeed intended to lure the other party into a final desperate attempt, but she hadn't expected them to be so composed.
If I have an afterlife, I should learn from this.
As I thought this, the burning pain suddenly disappeared.
White Plain convulsed, thinking to herself, "So this is how easy it is to die?"
She slightly opened her eyes, wanting to take a look at her surroundings. She had heard that in this world, after the physical body dies, the spirit is not instantly seized by the Heavenly Demon like in the outer world, but is instead taken to a place called the Yin-Yang Road.
Is this the place?
When I opened my eyes, it was broad daylight, and the surrounding scenery looked somewhat familiar.
The most familiar face was that round, chubby face in front of me.
"You?"
"Ugh, it's all burnt black." The little guy sniffed, frowned at White Plain, and for a moment couldn't help but swallow.
He shook his head repeatedly, patting his chubby cheeks. "What am I thinking about?"
This woman's grilled meat smells even better than the fat worm meat from Jiangnan! What's going on?
White Plain then realized what was happening and quickly got up, but instantly felt a cracking sound from her abdominal bones!
"Don't move around," Yun Ke'er frowned. "You were burned quite badly. The bones in your abdomen and shoulders are very fragile right now, but your recovery ability is quite fast. Your periosteum is already regenerating. Hmm, the structure of you demons is indeed different from that of humans."
White Plain was stunned. She forced herself to look around, enduring the pain, and asked in a hoarse voice, "You saved me? Where's the fire on my body?"
"I was moved to another location using a spatial array," Yun Ke'er answered honestly.
At this moment, Su Changqing, who was watching from the side, was stunned when he heard these words.
He actually wanted to save people at the time. He knew very well that Chen Yun was no longer Chen Yun, but after the flames were strengthened by White Plain's wind magic, he couldn't control them at all.
Unexpectedly, this girl not only effortlessly rescued White Plain from the monster's claws, but also left the flames in place. He didn't understand at all, but after hearing her explanation, he roughly understood what had happened.
This means that the spatial teleportation array only transported White Plain, while keeping the flames outside that space.
What kind of delicate operation is this?
Can spatial arrays be manipulated with such precision?
Just as he was about to ask something, he saw Yun Ke'er frown and look in another direction. "They're here."
Before they even looked over, they felt an incredibly terrifying chill.
Su Changqing's heart skipped a beat; he knew it was Chen Yun who had arrived.
Now that White Plain is seriously injured, how should the two of them deal with the monster that has taken over Chen Yun's body?
--
"Where did you pick up this little girl?" Kagura, who had been resting with her eyes closed, suddenly looked over with interest from the sidelines.
Chen Qing was also taken aback. He remembered that Yun Ke'er had extraordinary talent and aptitude, and was the top-tier talent designated by the Mirror Demon.
But I've been busy with various things these past few years and haven't kept up with this girl's progress. Has she already become this amazing?
They can actually use an ancient formation like Prism!
"In my Divine Martial Guild, none of us can use the Prism at this stage," Kagura, looking at the little girl in the image. "How old do you look? You've only been practicing magic since you were born, at most ten years, right?"
Chen Qing looked at Yun Ke'er in the picture, who had turned into a little bun because of the good food she had eaten all year, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
This little girl has only been practicing her techniques for two years!!
