Chapter 1637: Chapter 1484: Yin Yang Inn 40
The Taotie monster is extremely fond of battle, slaughter, and bloodshed. Thus, upon seeing Qi Shuangshuang and Li Yu, it immediately adopted an attack stance.
Qi Shuangshuang and Li Yu didn’t dare to be careless. Qi Shuangshuang immediately summoned Thousand Silk Entanglement, sending many thousands of strands straight towards the Taotie. Li Yu revealed its true form, a fox as gigantic as the Taotie itself.
The Taotie was not easy prey. It glanced at Qi Shuangshuang and Li Yu, and with a shake of its body, transformed into another Taotie identical to itself. The two Taoties simultaneously attacked Qi Shuangshuang and Li Yu.
Qi Shuangshuang waved her hand, directing Thousand Silk Entanglement to attack head-on from all directions, leaving the Taotie with no escape. Meanwhile, Li Yu pounced forward, engaging in battle with the Taotie in front of it.
Qi Shuangshuang’s Thousand Silk Entanglement was like a giant net. Once ensnared, the Taotie stood no chance of escaping.
Seeing things were not in its favor, the Taotie shook its body, displaying an agility not befitting its massive size, quickly burrowing into the ground.
The ground the Taotie burrowed into was perfectly smooth, indicative of Earth Technique. Qi Shuangshuang was somewhat surprised; the Taotie’s enormous form was adept at Earth Technique, which typically favored smaller physiques for cultivation.
At that moment, a loud noise came from behind Qi Shuangshuang, accompanied by a dangerous aura spreading from her rear.
Qi Shuangshuang swiftly turned, while Thousand Silk Entanglement attacked backward at the fastest speed, a loud collision sound echoing from behind her.
Qi Shuangshuang turned to see the massive body of the Taotie being struck and flung by Thousand Silk Entanglement. Seizing the moment, Qi Shuangshuang pursued, Thousand Silk Entanglement entwining around the Taotie’s body.
Thousand Silk Entanglement was incredibly fast. The Taotie could not dodge in time, and Qi Shuangshuang’s Thousand Silk Entanglement wrapped around one of its hind legs, tightening immediately.
The Taotie’s ensnared hind leg was crushed to pieces by Qi Shuangshuang’s Thousand Silk Entanglement, causing a shower of blood and flesh fragments to rain from the sky.
At the same time, Li Yu heavily struck the other Taotie clone from mid-air down to the ground, eliciting a piercing howl from its mouth; Li Yu’s claws opened a massive wound on the Taotie’s back.
Seeing the Taotie wounded, Qi Shuangshuang and Li Yu simultaneously launched an attack, aiming to kill it now that it was hurt, with Thousand Silk Entanglement and Li Yu’s sharp claws both striking at the Taotie.
The Taotie quickly retreated with its injured body, but it was no match for the speed of Qi Shuangshuang and Li Yu’s attacks. The Taotie opposing Qi Shuangshuang lost another claw, while the one against Li Yu lost an eye.
The severely wounded Taoties lifted their heads and let out a plaintive howl. With their howl, a surge of dark energy emerged from the Taotie’s body, rapidly enveloping them completely.
When the black smoke dispersed, the wounds inflicted by Qi Shuangshuang and Li Yu had completely healed, and the Taotie glared at Qi Shuangshuang and Li Yu with hateful eyes.
It opened its mouth wide and howled at Qi Shuangshuang and Li Yu, spewing a dark smoke that rolled directly towards them.
This dark smoke clearly wasn’t good. Qi Shuangshuang and Li Yu promptly decided to retreat swiftly, avoiding the dark smoke.
The dark smoke indeed wasn’t benign; wherever it passed, the flora withered, rocks turned to powder, and the earth cracked instantly.
Seeing this, Qi Shuangshuang and Li Yu retreated another large step back. This dark smoke was truly poisonous; getting contaminated by it surely wouldn’t be a light matter.
The Taoties spewed out more dark smoke, wrapping themselves completely with it, and charged towards Qi Shuangshuang and Li Yu.
Qi Shuangshuang and Li Yu swiftly retreated, avoiding contact with the black smoke surrounding the Taotie’s body. Qi Shuangshuang’s Thousand Silk Entanglement specialized in long-range attacks, so she directed Thousand Silk Entanglement to attack the Taotie remotely.
Li Yu, on the other hand, raised its head high, taking a deep breath. As it inhaled, its belly visibly expanded as if it was carrying young.
After inhaling, Li Yu lowered its head, opened its mouth, and blew the air forcefully towards the Taotie. The breath Li Yu expelled mimicked a hurricane, instantly dissipating the black smoke surrounding the Taotie’s body.
As the black smoke faded, Li Yu’s attack arrived swiftly, its enormous sharp claws slicing from the Taotie’s front to its tail, leaving three gigantic wounds across most of the Taotie’s body.
Li Yu’s claw tips were very sharp, and the wounds already faintly revealed the Taotie’s internal organs. After landing the blow, Li Yu quickly retreated without lingering.
The Taotie, wounded by Li Yu’s strike, let out a painful roar, with dark smoke again enveloping its body. On the other side, Qi Shuangshuang’s Thousand Silk Entanglement nearly shredded half of the Taotie’s body.
However, any wounds caused by either Li Yu or Qi Shuangshuang would soon be repaired by the dark smoke emerging from the Taotie’s body.
Afterward, no matter how Qi Shuangshuang and Li Yu attacked or how many wounds they inflicted, all were healed by the black smoke from the Taotie. This creature was just like an unkillable cockroach.
Qi Shuangshuang and Li Yu battled this Taotie for three full days, unsure how many fatal wounds they had left on it, yet the Taotie continued to fight vivaciously.
Qi Shuangshuang felt some impatience; she was still fine, but Li Yu was clearly showing signs of exhaustion. Continuing the battle this way would eventually lead to Li Yu’s depletion of strength.
The Taotie also noticed Li Yu’s fatigue, and surprisingly spoke human language to Qi Shuangshuang and Li Yu: "Why persist against me?
If your pursuit is due to my human-eating habits, at worst, designate an area, and I won’t eat people there. Our ongoing stalemate holds no significance.
While I can’t kill you, you can’t do anything to me either, because I am immortal and indestructible, and you cannot kill me. Why not take a step back and coexist peacefully?"
Qi Shuangshuang and Li Yu stood one left and one right in the air, glaring at the Taotie opposite them.
Li Yu, its claws stained with the Taotie’s fresh blood, sneered: "A monster that takes pleasure in eating and slaughtering humans, yet speaks with refined human politeness about peaceful coexistence? Dream on!"
The Taotie clearly wasn’t good-tempered, and got infuriated immediately by Li Yu’s sarcasm: "You won’t take a toast willingly, so you’ll take punishment! I’ll wear you down and see how long you can stay arrogant!"
After the Taotie spoke, more dark smoke rolled around its body and charged towards Li Yu, while the Taotie in front of Qi Shuangshuang also launched an attack on her.
Following that, Qi Shuangshuang and Li Yu battled the Taotie for another half day. Though the Taotie seemed immortal, its attacks gradually slowed over time.
Meanwhile, Li Yu had already started to show fatigue; the Taotie’s slowed attacks provided Li Yu a slight respite.
