Chapter 254: Chapter 254 Are You Blaming Me_1

A powerful airflow howled forth, blowing open some of the collapsing debris. At the same time, the ground beneath the four of you began boiling like water, with floor tiles and soil instantly turning into mud!

Seeing the main beam plummeting down towards you, you extended your right hand and made a hand seal, and the boiling mud around you suddenly formed a semi-circular shape covering overhead, in the form of an upside-down rice bowl, protecting the four of you within.

Before the main beam could smash down, the mud shielding you froze in an instant, visibly turning into rock at a speed detectable to the naked eye!

"Bang!"

"Boom boom..."

The sounds of crashing could be heard incessantly from overhead and all around!

While marshaling the vitality within your body to desperately sustain, you also tightly embraced Wu Qiyi in your arms, shielding her with your own body. You feared that the rapidly solidifying rock barrier would shatter. If it were to happen, you would arch your back at once to shield Wu Qiyi and the other two girls from everything!

Fortunately, the rock barrier held firm in the end.

"Li Muyun, come out! I know you’re not dead!" The voice of the Saintess, frantic and exasperated, came from outside, "This is not the final resting place of the Empress and Gaozong; they are not here at all! This is just a sham! You’ve deceived me!"

The words of the Saintess were, of course, heard by all four of you. You exchanged glances.

"What rubbish about Dragon Breath, it’s all fake!" The Saintess’s voice became even more shrill, "Get out here!"

"Boom!"

Another violent shake!

"I can’t complete the task assigned by the Empress; rather than returning to face her torturous death, I might as well fight with all I’ve got now!" After a pause, the Saintess continued to shriek, "Li Muyun! If you continue to cower and not come out, I will collapse this entire underground cavern and let you and those three women become desperate lovebirds in death!"

"Tsk!"

You frowned, not expecting this woman to be so crazed!

"Crack!"

The rocky wall above your head began to crack, followed by a gust of wind shooting skyward, displacing the dust and fragments all around, and clearing a significant space.

"Humph humph humph, you finally came out!"

At that moment, the Saintess was still sitting on the shoulder of the red God Formula she had summoned earlier, which stood about ten meters above the ground inside the cave.

In front of you stood a colossal behemoth, at least twenty meters tall in front of its body. Its shape was not so different from the red God Formula, but the monster had two heads!

"I say, weren’t we companions before this, and if not companions, at least not enemies? Do you really have to be so utterly ruthless?"

Without waiting for the Saintess to speak, you continued, "I don’t recall offending you, did I?"

"You deserve to die!"

"Yeah? Who did I provoke? Why do I ’deserve to die’?"

The Saintess gave a cold hum, "If I had been able to find the source of the Dragon Breath this time, it might’ve been different, but this is just a hoax! Wu Zhao and Li Zhi are not here at all!"

With that, the Saintess threatened, "Speak, where are they?"

"You ask me, but who should I ask?"

As you spoke to the Saintess, you made a gesture with your right hand toward Dong Fangxiao behind you.

Dong Fangxiao got the message at once. Her body slowly retreated behind you, perfectly in line with the Saintess’s sight and completely obscured by your body.

"You’re the reincarnation of Li Zhi. If not you, whom else should I look for?" She said, picking up the Jade Flute once more and putting it to her lips, "I don’t have much patience left. If you don’t answer in three seconds, I’ll bury you here forever!"

"Three."

"Two."

"Attack!"

As the Saintess counted to two, you suddenly shouted and hastily stepped aside, while Dong Fangxiao had already fired three bullets at the Saintess in quick succession!

"Hmph!"

The bullets could not harm the Saintess. She dodged effortlessly and turned to you, saying, "Li Muyun, what... what are you doing!?"

As she spoke, the Saintess’s voice suddenly became shrill, for she sensed an unpleasant feeling of being targeted.

And by that time, you had already assumed the posture of an archer, ready to shoot at the Saintess!

Your left hand was holding a Golden longbow, and your right hand was drawing the string; a Golden feather arrow brimming with surging energy was nocked and ready!

"Whoosh!"

The Golden Arrow shot forth, cleaving the air!

In that moment, the Saintess came to a realization that there was no escape!

She even instinctively closed her eyes!

Is this the end?

So unwilling!

"Clang——"

The anticipated pain did not come; when she opened her eyes, she found that her Jade Flute had been shattered to pieces. The Golden Arrow that could have claimed her life did not take her life, but instead destroyed her ritual instrument for summoning her God Formula spirits.

As the Jade Flute shattered, the two God Formula spirits disappeared amidst their roars.

However, the Saintess didn’t fall from mid-air; suddenly, a ribbon flew out from her waist, wrapping around her body and enabling her to keep floating in mid-air.

"You didn’t kill me?" the Saintess stared straight at you and asked coldly, "Why?"

You shrugged your shoulders with a smile and said, "I already told you, I have no grudge against you, why would I kill you?"

"Hmph, posing, pretending to be benevolent!"

Facing the Saintess’s mockery, you appeared quite indifferent: "However you criticize me doesn’t matter; I have thick skin. But don’t flatter yourself, the reason I didn’t kill you is because I have another purpose. I want to know the whereabouts of a certain person."

"Who?"

"The Empress."

"What do you want with the Empress?"

"There are things I must make clear to her, and also, I hope she can change her nasty temperament of killing people on a whim."

Upon hearing this, the Saintess couldn’t help but laugh, laughing uproariously at the sky: "This is the most ignorant joke I’ve ever heard in my life!"

"Laugh if you want, I just want to know where the Empress is."

After a short pause, the Saintess replied, "She is at..."

"Bang!"

Dong Fangxiao suddenly fired a shot!

In a critical moment, the Saintess quickly dodged and berated Dong Fangxiao: "You dare to ambush me!?"

Dong Fangxiao smiled and said, "Sorry, the gun misfired, that’s all; please continue."

"Hmph!"

The Saintess snorted coldly and swiftly flew toward the direction of the Black Tortoise Gate.

"Hey, you haven’t finished speaking!"

The Saintess turned her head back and said with a cold laugh, "Li Muyun, I will be back, and next time, I will surely take your life!"

As the figure of the Saintess gradually disappeared, you couldn’t help but slap your thigh and sigh, "Ah, so close!"

"Are you blaming me?"

Dong Fangxiao put away her gun, batting her long eyelashes.

You, who often dealt with girls, knew very well that any boy must remember one thing under any circumstances: Never tell the truth to a girl, even if you want to reach out and give her a good smack right now!
