Chapter 254: Turning the Situation Around, the Change Between the Hunter and the Prey

The two girls’ true essence shook, wanting to use their trump cards to break out of the encirclement.

True essence of different colors rose around their bodies.

Nie Ling’s spiritual root attribute was still unknown, but the color of her true essence was light green.

Li Mengxi’s spirit root was a top-grade water spirit root, and the mental cultivation techniques she practiced was probably suitable for water element, so her true essence color was light blue.

The two women stood back to back, their green and blue true essence interweaving. Their auras seemed to be increasing each other, and their auras were constantly rising.

Just as they were about to go all out, Nie Ling did not notice that the originally dim light on the sensing jade pendant on her body was gradually brightening up.

“Green Lotus Sword Art, Qingping Sword Song!”

Nie Ling let out a low cry and swung the longsword in her hand. Immediately, streams of green sword qi began to revolve around her body, carrying an incomparably sharp and cold glow.

“Go!”

She let out another low cry. With a wave of the longsword in her hand, the green sword qi surrounding her body shot towards the head of one of the earth devouring centipedes.

Since they were about to break through the encirclement, the attacks could not be blocked in a scattered manner like before.

At this moment, Li Mengxi also began to coordinate with Nie Ling’s sword qi. She formed a hand seal with a solemn expression in her beautiful eyes.

Li Mengxi lightly shouted as a terrifying cold qi condensed in her hand.

“Spirit Control, Frozen Hell Icy Sky!”

Following that, Li Mengxi swung her hand and the terrifying cold light condensed in her palm shot towards Nie Ling’s target, the Earth-devouring Centipede.

The cold light was faster than the sword qi, and it directly hit the demon beast’s body. Immediately, the demon beast’s body was covered in a layer of frost.

The demon beast’s movements had also become sluggish, and at the same time, Nie Ling’s sword qi arrived.

Bang Bang–

The incomparably sharp sword Qi entered the head of the Earth-devouring Centipede, and then shot out from the back of its head, bringing with it waves of green blood.

“Now! Let’s charge!”

Nie Ling let out a low shout, and exchanged a glance with Li Mengxi. Without the slightest hesitation, she charged towards the centipede that was slowly falling to the ground.

As long as they broke through the encirclement of these Earth-devouring Centipedes, they would be able to escape with the little true essence they had left in their bodies.

However, things were not as good as they had thought. After one of the centipedes fell in front of them.

Behind the fallen demon beast, the soil on the ground exploded, and another Earth-devouring Centipede shot out from the ground.

The two of them stopped there and looked at the huge shadow in disbelief.

Who would have thought that the Earth-devouring Centipede in their eyes was actually at the perfect foundation establishment realm.

[Demon king: Crystal-devouring centipede]

[Bloodline: Ancient demon]

[Realm: Peak of the foundation establishment realm]

[Description: She swallowed a spirit crystal in the battlefield of the demon region and obtained a huge amount of spiritual energy, she became the leader of the earth-devouring centipede.]

After seeing the information of the monster beast in their eyes, the two women felt somewhat hopeless.

Even if they fought with their backs against the wall, they still would not be able to break out of the encirclement. Moreover, they had provoked a dem beast at the peak of the foundation establishment realm.

Perhaps, they should not have come to this ancient ruins.

This place was not an ordinary place for ordinary cultivators. Even if they were prodigies, they would not be able to survive in this ancient ruins even if they were at the mid-stage of the foundation establishment stage.

How could they talk about exploration? How could they talk about opportunities? It was simply ridiculous.

If they could not even protect their lives, what would they talk about opportunities.

All of a sudden, the demon king moved. Its entire body was covered with crystal-like armor, and its huge head had three pairs of terrifying sharp teeth.

Its blood-red pupils had a hint of humanity, and on both sides of its body, there were a lot of sharp and thin limbs.

It roared, and the spiritual power in its body surged into its mouth. The fishy smell turned into a violent wind in its huge mouth.

Suddenly, it moved and pounced toward the two girls.

It was fast, very fast.

The two girls only felt a gust of fishy wind coming toward them, but they could not avoid it, because the opponent was too powerful.

Not to mention that they were still at the end of their rope, there was no way for them to dodge it.

With a bitter smile, Li Mengxi and Nie Ling grabbed each other’s hands. Perhaps they were just looking for some comfort from the other party.

“Heaven-defying Divine Sky Palm, Extreme!”

Suddenly, a loud shout rang out by their ears.

That familiar voice made them slightly startled. They saw a terrifying flame giant palm descend from the sky, and then smashed towards the demon king in front of them.

Bang!!

The frightening fire palm smashed onto the body of the Crystal-devouring centipede, emitting a loud bang. Wild and violent flames swept over its entire body. Immediately, it emitted a miserable roar as it was sent flying.

Bang!

Another sound rang out. The enormous body of the Crystal-devouring Centipede directly collided with a nearby mound, emitting a loud muffled sound. Even a corner of the small mound had collapsed.

One could see just how terrifying the power of this huge flame palm was.

“Sorry, I’m late.”

A faint voice rang out, and an afterimage appeared in their eyes. Who else could it be but Su Yi?

At first, he had used the sensing jade to sense Nie Ling’s location. At full speed, he was only able to cover an area of 10,000 meters.

Soon, he sensed a battle happening somewhere, and it was in Nie Ling’s direction.

In a split second, he thought that Nie Ling was probably fighting with the demoni beasts, so he sped up again and rushed over.

Later, he saw a group of huge centipedes gathering from afar, so he did not hesitate to convert his true essence into fire element and then used the Heaven-defying Divine Sky Palm.

Finally, the scene in front of him appeared.

Seeing the familiar figure, Nie Ling could no longer suppress the emotions in her heart. In the end, she could not help but pounce on his chest, her eyes slightly red.

Suddenly being hugged by Nie Ling, he felt the faint fragrance of the hair in his arms. For a moment, he was at a loss.

A pair of big hands did not know what to do. They could only stiffly open their hands and stop in the air.

Li Mengxi, who was at the side, also looked at Su Yi with a strange expression. She looked at Nie Ling, who was pouncing on his chest, and the corner of her mouth revealed a smile of having survived a desperate situation.

However, there seemed to be some bitterness hidden within this smile. She kept feeling a little bitter in her heart.

When Su Yi was at a loss, it was those cute demon beasts that helped him resolve this awkward situation.

Roar!!

The surrounding Earth-devouring Centipedes saw that their boss was sent flying, so they all surrounded him, wanting to take revenge for their boss.

One by one, their eyes flashed with a scarlet light, wanting to swallow the human cultivator in their eyes and digest them.

However, how could these pitiful demon beasts know that their identities as prey and hunter had completely changed after Su Yi arrived.
