The eldest sister just wanted to give up, while the spirit swords vied to recognize her as their mas

Chapter 293 I told you not to wear shoes

Although they knew that under the rule of ferocious beasts, the lives of cultivators were no different from those of ants, and that they would die sooner or later, they did not expect that day to come so soon.

Seeing Jiaoyu pick up the longsword, the disciple who had spoken up for him was furious. "Jiaoyu! What kind of dragon are you! We even wanted to rescue you!"

Jiaoyu turned a deaf ear.

Taotie removed the chains that were hooked on his shoulder blades, leaving only the chains on his wrists to restrict his movement.

He casually grabbed a disciple and threw him in front of Jiaoyu. This disciple was the one who had wanted his corpse earlier. "Come on, kill him."

The disciple panicked and struggled to escape, but Taotie gently lifted his hand and pinned him to the ground, unable to move.

"No! Please, Your Excellency, spare me... I was wrong, I was wrong! Jiaoyu, my uncle respects you the most, don't let the ferocious beasts blind you!..."

Jiaoyu limped toward him, the tip of her sword scraping against the ground, making a sickening sound.

The audience suddenly fell silent.

They stared intently at the stage. If Jiaoyu really killed that human, his image in the eyes of the cultivators would be completely ruined.

Taotie: "Kill him, kill him."

Jiaoyu tightened his grip on the longsword in his hand, and raised his hand high—

The excitement in Taotie's eyes reached its peak, but the next second the sword was aimed straight at his face.

The smile froze. With a casual wave of its hand, Taotie's longsword collided with an invisible barrier, suddenly slipped from its grasp, and pierced the disciple's heart with unerring accuracy.

"Tsk tsk, you've disappointed me greatly."

Taotie vanished instantly, then reappeared, gripping Jiaoyu's neck tightly. "I really don't understand why you made this choice."

His strength was great, and Jiaoyu's face gradually flushed red, but her eyes remained calm and unwavering. "He deserves to die, but... but you deserve to die even more..."

"Very well, since that's the case, I have no reason to keep you here."

His hands tightened little by little.

Jiaoyu's face grew increasingly pale, and her struggles began to weaken.

A bloodthirsty smile spread across Taotie's face. The dragons, who had once dominated them in every way, were now dying so weakly at his hands. Just thinking about it was exhilarating.

However, the next second, a scene from the past flashed before his eyes: being trampled underfoot by the dragons, his cheeks crushed into the mud.

In that brief moment of distraction, a low, husky female voice rang in my ears, "Release them, or I'll kill him."

When Taotie came to its senses again, it realized that it had let go of its grip at some point, and a dagger was pressed against its neck, drawing a clear line of blood.

Behind him was a strange woman.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events.

Even Que Yu, who was by Yun Fuzhao's side, didn't know when she made her move.

He only felt a sudden blur of white light in one eye, and when his vision cleared again, Yun Fuzhao was already on the stage holding Taotie hostage.

Shang Ji frowned, seemingly lost in thought, and asked, "You are... Yun Fuzhao?"

Taotie: "Impossible! Didn't you kill her yourself?"

In this situation, Yun Fuzhao no longer needed to pretend. "Unfortunately, I'm just tough."

The disciples below the stage had their hopes rekindled. At this moment, Yun Fuzhao was like a savior in their eyes. "It's Yun Fuzhao! We're saved!"

Shang Ji chuckled and slowly took a step forward. "If I'm not mistaken, your cultivation level isn't even at the Foundation Establishment stage yet. You think you can threaten us with that?"

“How will you know if you don’t try?” Yun Fuzhao said. “Besides, you probably don’t know that the people from Queyu have already gone to your lair to steal the power of inheritance. This will…”

She paused, revealing her pearly white teeth, "You should have it by now, right?"

Shang Ji suddenly looked at Que Yu, "You!"

Que Yu looked somewhat helpless. "Really, I was hoping to give you a surprise."

"With the Taotie guarding there, you have no chance of succeeding."

"Of course, we alone are not enough. If we add the Eclipse Wolf Clan and the cultivators from Peach Blossom Island, then it's not certain."

Shang Ji finally revealed a strange emotion.

Yun Fuzhao said, "If you release us, I will not kill him."

The three ferocious beasts present laughed strangely.

Shang Ji said, "Yun Fuzhao, you are still so naive. The little dagger in your hand can't even cut through the flesh of a ferocious beast."

Yun Fuzhao was startled and wanted to make a move, but Taotie suddenly transformed into a ferocious beast tens of meters tall and knocked her dagger away.

Her expression hardened, and she grabbed Jiaoyu and pulled her back.

But he was restrained by the chains on his hands.

Yun Fuzhao hurriedly tried to break the chains, but found that he couldn't break them no matter what he did.

“Master,” Jiaoyu shook her head, “these chains are ancient magical artifacts, once used to bind the four ferocious beasts. They are very difficult to destroy.”

Que Yu said to her, "Yun Fuzhao, come back first!"

The beast-like Taotie was enormous; if it stomped down, Jiaoyu would surely be crushed into a meat patty.

"Master, don't worry about me." Jiaoyu pushed her away, managing a weak smile. "In the next life, I'll still be your spirit beast."

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Taotie raised its foot and stomped down on them.

In an instant, dust billowed up, and a huge crater appeared in the ground.

Que Yu's heart suddenly raced. Although she knew Yun Fuzhao would be alright, she was still worried for her.

Taotie laughed loudly, "What kind of thing dares to..."

Before he could finish speaking, a sharp pain shot through his claws. He abruptly lifted his foot and pulled out the massive, broken blade from his sole.

Yun Fuzhao, standing not far from his feet, grinned. "Serves you right for not wearing shoes!"

Taotie: "?"

In a moment of crisis, Yun Fuzhao directly purchased a broken sword from the shop; this thing could cut through everything in the world.

After severing the chains, Yun Fuzhao thoughtfully held the knife upright so that he could barely escape with Jiaoyu and Qu Wangzhi.

Several cultivators below the stage surrounded Qu Wangzhi and helped him up.

Seeing this, Shang Ji no longer hesitated and suddenly attacked Yun Fuzhao, but was stopped by Que Yu, "Isn't it inappropriate to bully the weak with numbers?"

"Ha, you think you can stop me?"

"Who knows?" Que Yu laughed. "We'll hold them off for as long as we can."

"Out of control."

On the other side, chaos roared, and countless ghost jackals surged up from all directions.

They pounced and tore at the cultivators.

The scene immediately became chaotic.

Yun Fuzhao has no cultivation to rely on now, so he can only frantically buy magical artifacts in the mall, but this is nothing more than a desperate struggle.

She also faces a double attack from the jackal and the Taotie.

Soon, she lost her strength, and just as a jackal was about to bite her neck, with a "whoosh," the jackal was pierced through by the cyan longsword.

Yun Fuzhao was taken aback, "Wuji!"

It was Yun Fuzhao's Wuji that pierced through that demonic jackal.

Following it was a black monster that charged wildly, heading straight for the Taotie.

Yun Fuzhao stared blankly at the magical beast, a sense of familiarity welling up inside her. She murmured, "Yu Ze..."

The enormous magical beast seemed to sense something, giving her a deep look, its eyes swirling with emotion.
