Chapter 1948: True Dragon Anti-Water Bead

Translator: Legge 

Tang Ziyi was severely injured and had fought consecutively. Her bloodline could not suppress the poison and finally could not hold on.

She could not muster any strength even as the remaining two lunged over.

Perhaps it was because she cultivated the Dao of assassination and tempered her mind all year round, but even at the brink of death, her heart was extremely calm without any emotions.

Of course, many things flashed through her mind in that instant.

“What a pity. I didn’t manage to clear the immortal formation after all.”

“That’s good too. If I head to the netherworld, won’t I have a chance to see father and mother?”

“Sigh, if I hadn’t lost my dark daggers, I wouldn’t have been injured by these poisonous beings earlier on.”

“I hope my dark daggers won’t be wasted in the hands of that person.”

Tang Ziyi bit her lip as a figure flashed through her mind.

“I’m about to die. How could my final thought be that detestable and shameless person?”

Chi!

Suddenly, a sharp and faint sound came from midair, as though a sharp weapon had torn through the air.

Immediately after, Tang Ziyi felt an extremely terrifying killing intent and her heart skipped a beat.

“Not good!”

Suddenly, the ‘toad’ shrieked.

Immediately after, the voice stopped.

Tang Ziyi looked up instinctively.

A white sword qi never entered the person’s glabella and penetrated him instantly, destroying his Essence Spirit.

On the other side, another similar sword qi streaked past the gigantic pitch-black centipede and vanished.

The pitch-black centipede’s body was sliced into two by a sword qi and black blood filled the skies.

The cultivator on the centipede was not spared either and was killed by the slash!

Two sword qi killed these two experts in the Ten Absolute Hell!

Tang Ziyi was stunned.

She was not dead?

Instinctively, Tang Ziyi looked towards the forest not far away but could not find any traces of cultivators.

She could not determine where the two sword qi came from at all.

Who was it?

Someone from the Ten Absolute Hell would save her?

Why did that person not appear after attacking?

Many thoughts flashed through Tang Ziyi’s mind. Then, as though she realized something, she raised her head and looked at the Mirage Eye in the firmaments. She hurriedly perked up and staggered into the forest at the side.

Tang Ziyi slapped her storage bag and took out a pitch-black paper umbrella, opening it.

Mysterious runes were etched on the umbrella.

Tang Ziyi conjured hand seals and chanted a few words. The runes on the paper umbrella lit up and enveloped her.

Her figure gradually faded and disappeared from the spot along with the pitch-black paper umbrella!

A butterfly sprawled on a branch not far away witnessed everything.

That butterfly was naturally conjured by Su Zimo.

The two sword qi earlier on were also Heaven Slaying Sword Qi released by him!

If Tang Ziyi could deal with the five poisons, he would naturally not attack.

There was a high chance that the fight here would attract attention and Su Zimo did not want to expose himself.

However, he could not stand by idly when he saw that Tang Ziyi’s life was hanging by a thread.

Tang Ziyi knew so much about the Thunder Emperor and had taken the risk to barge into the immortal formation. This meant that there was a high chance she was on the Thunder Emperor’s side.

If that was not the case, there was no need for her to risk her life.

Because of that, Su Zimo had to save Tang Ziyi as well.

Of course, after he attacked, he was worried that he would attract the attention of the Mirage Eye and did not appear, maintaining his butterfly form.

Su Zimo was secretly surprised when he saw Tang Ziyi open the black umbrella and retract her figure.

It was clear that the black umbrella was not an ordinary item. It did not make Tang Ziyi disappear. Instead, it fused the surrounding environment into one and could even deceive the Mirage Eye!

Actually, Tang Ziyi was still on the spot. However, even with Su Zimo’s eyesight, he could not see her figure.

Of course, Su Zimo could still roughly determine Tang Ziyi’s location with his spirit perception.

If he reverted to his true form and channeled Illumination and Nether Glow, he should be able to see through Tang Ziyi’s tracks as well!

After Tang Ziyi retracted her figure, she was in no hurry to leave. Instead, she consumed elixirs on the spot and rested for a while to stabilize her injuries.

It was unknown what bloodline Tang Ziyi possessed but after her injuries were stabilized, the poison in her body was no longer a threat and was squeezed out bit by bit.

Before long, her face regained some color.

Of course, the injuries caused by the Flood Formation would not recover completely within a short period of time.

Tang Ziyi stood up and walked into the distance.

Su Zimo flapped his wings and followed slowly.

Tang Ziyi held the black umbrella and circled the forest. Before long, she found a cave and burrowed in.

“This place won’t be spied on by the Mirage Eye. Fellow Daoist, you’ve followed me for so long. Come on out,”

Tang Ziyi said.

After a while, a figure appeared out of thin air in the cave!

The person wore a clean green robe and had refined features. He nodded to her with a smile.

“Indeed, it’s you,”

Tang Ziyi did not look surprised when she saw Su Zimo.

“You guessed it?”

Su Zimo asked with a smile.

Tang Ziyi was silent.

Apart from Su Zimo, she could not think of anyone else in the Ten Absolute Hell who could kill two of the five poisons silently and follow her!

“I owe you a favor and will return it in the future,”

Tang Ziyi said expressionlessly.

Su Zimo smiled. “There’s no need for the future. You can return it now.”

“What do you want me to do?”

Tang Ziyi asked.

Su Zimo said, “I’ll ask you a few questions. Just answer them truthfully.”

“That’s all?”

Tang Ziyi could not believe it.

Su Zimo did not explain and went straight to the point. “Why did you challenge the immortal formation?”

Tang Ziyi lowered her head slightly in silence.

This matter involved her secret and she could not say it.

As though he could tell that she was troubled, Su Zimo did not continue asking about this and quickly shifted to another question.

“How did you withstand the impact of the Flood Formation?”

Su Zimo asked.

Tang Ziyi was relieved.

As long as it was not some important secret, she would tell him everything.

Tang Ziyi took out a bead that was filled with cracks from her storage bag and handed it to Su Zimo. “This is the True Dragon Anti-Water Bead that my master refined with the True Dragon Dao Fruit.”

“The value of this bead is definitely not inferior to any sentient Dharmic treasure. Unfortunately, it still can’t withstand the power of the Flood Formation,”

Tang Ziyi said, “I don’t have the bloodline of a True Dragon and can’t activate the full power of this True Dragon Anti-Water Bead. However, this treasure was destroyed in my hands.”

Su Zimo lamented internally as well.

Although he did not have the bloodline of a True Dragon, he had a Dragon Phoenix Essence Spirit.

There was a high chance that he could pass through the Flood Formation if he activated the True Dragon Anti-Water Bead with his Essence Spirit!

However, now that the bead was shattered and completely destroyed, this method no longer worked.
