Chapter 265: 265

Chapter 265 The Whirling Sakura

Teng Yongqing did not give up; he would not loosen his grip on Ye Shaoyang, “She has no way to escape, and she is going to die . Let me try to transcend her . I am confident!”

“No! If you fail, we will all die . I don’t want to risk anyone’s life, including yours . ” As Ye Shaoyang spoke, he raised his leg, preparing to perform a back kick . Suddenly, all of them heard soft cracking sounds, as if something had burst open . The sounds shocked everyone, as they raised their heads and looked forward:

Madam Chee’s head had split in a cross manner; her body shook back and forth, as a pair of eyes squeezed out from the wound . The creature had no nose . and it had a long, sharp stinger at its mouthpart .

Cicada! Madam Chee had revealed her true form - a cicada!

Ye Shaoyang sensed danger; Madam Chee was a cicada, and exuviae was a usual behavior for the insect . She had finally used her ultimate power!

As her head escaped, she let out a loud and clear groan; she immediately crawled out from the burned body, and she flipped her transparent wings and stabbed Ye Shaoyang with her long, sharp stinger .

Everything happened in the blink of an eye . It was too late when Ye Shaoyang reacted to the stab . He could only watch on as the stinger stabbed toward his throat . Suddenly, someone pushed his head to one side, so the stinger struck the person behind .

Pfff! Warm blood spurted over the back of his neck . He looked over his shoulder and saw that the stinger had pierced through Teng Yongqing’s neck . Blood spilled out non-stop from the stabbing wound, and Teng Yongqing’s face became paler and paler, as he gasped for air .

Ye Shaoyang was dumbstruck at once and so was Madam Chee . She did not expect her stinger to kill her successor . Even though she was a demon with no humanity, she still had a little affection toward her successors .

“Wooo!” Madam Chee removed her mouthpart and chirped sorrowfully . All of a sudden, a silver aura flashed behind her . Tan Xiaohui appeared behind Madam Chee, spinning arctic silks over her and wrapping her in layers .

A cicada and an arctic silkworm fought face to face .

Madam Chee grunted; Demon Qi broke loose from her and struck Tan Xiaohui, who had paled to the point where her body turned transparent . However, similar to Teng Yongqing before, continued to grasp Madam Chee’s body and persistently spun silks around her .

“Big Brother Shaoyang, kill her! Ki--” Tan Xiaohui sounded tired and her voiced contained suffering .

The sudden shift of events left Ye Shaoyang with no time to react, so he had just looked at Tan Xiaohui, stunned . Now he realized the reason for her not appearing when the fight had started; she was waiting for a chance, a great chance that would definitely help them kill Madam Chee in one attempt .

Ye Shaoyang grasped his sword a little tighter, as he hesitated about raising the weapon .

He knew that with such a close distance, if he used the mighty power of the Qixing Dragon Sword to kill Madam Chee, he would indirectly injure Tan Xiaohui . All in all, Tan Xiaohui was a demon too, and she was much weaker than Madam Chee . The aura from the sword would kill Tan Xiaohui as well when he slashed toward Madam Chee .

“Do it now… . ” Tan Xiaohui caught her breath, “I can’t hold her much longer . I have disintegrated my demon body and soul . Eventually, I will die, even if you do nothing . So --”

“What!” Ye Shaoyang’s heart sank . Disintegrating one’s demon body could boost a demon’s power at once, but the power would ultimately die out . Meanwhile, disintegrating one’s soul would mean facing the consequences of breaking the soul into pieces . These were considered as acts of suicide for humans .

“Why . . . did you do that?” Ye Shaoyang forced the words out of his mouth .

Tan Xiaohui smiled bitterly . Her body became fainter and fainter, while her soul kept transforming into threads of silk that wrapped Madam Chee’s demon body, the cicada . Madam Chee knew that she was at death's door, so she struggled desperately and released all her Demon Qi to break the silks .

“Big Brother Shaoyang, don’t hesitate . Don’t let me die in vain . Do . It . Now! ”

“I… I… am sorry!”

Ye Shaoyang let out a thundering roar and raised the sword, reciting an incantation quietly; he slashed Madam Chee’s head with all his strength .

The moment the sword chopped off Madam Chee’s head, Tan Xiaohui smiled faintly, “Big Brother Shaoyang, if you have a girlfriend in the future, remember to bring her to the Sakura garden . The Sakura is just too stunning . ”

A purple aura soared and illuminated the sky, and the sword cut two figures into pieces .

The Gang Qi from the Qixing Dragon Sword created a gust of strong wind that curled up the Sakura on the ground, dancing in the air together with the primordial spirits of Madam Chee and Tan Xiaohui .

Ye Shaoyang reached out with his palm for a Sakura petal . Xiaohui… .

After a while, the Sakura petals gradually fell back on the ground . The primordial spirits had disappeared, and Zhou Jingru’s sobs sounded from the tunnel .

Immediately, Ma Cheng thought that this would be the right time for him to comfort her . However, he stopped; he shook his head when he realized that he did not belong to the group . It was like he was in a different world .

“Little Ye, Teng Yongqing is dying… . ” Xiao Ma choked with sobs . Ye Shaoyang was startled . He quickly advanced to Teng Yongqing, who was lying motionless on the ground . His face was deathly pale, and blood gushed out from his neck wound, staining the ground around him .

Ye Shaoyang squatted beside Teng Yongqing, as he grabbed one of the latter’s hands; it was ice-cold .

“It was my fault,” Teng Yongqing forced a smile on his stiff face, and he said in a soft, barely audible voice, “Luckily, you did not die because of me… . ”

Ye Shaoyang shook his head, “We were both right . It was only because we were standing from different points of view . ”

Teng Yongqing tried to say more, but Ye Shaoyang stopped him, raised his head . and cried, “Call the ambulance! Call the ambulance!”

“There is no use, Little Ye . He has… . ” Xiao Ma choked .

Ye Shaoyang hung his head down . Teng Yongqing’s soul had just left his body, while his Yang Qi was slowly dispersing from his body . Ye Shaoyang quickly grabbed the soul and tried to return it to Teng Yongqing’s body .

Xie Yuqing saw his actions and suggested, “You are a Heavenly Master . Can you do anything to seal his soul? Isn’t that will keep him alive?”

Ye Shaoyang shook his head, “No . His body was badly damaged, and it could not contain the soul . He will become a Soul-bound Undead if I seal his soul forcefully . ”

Suddenly, Xiao Ma grasped his wrist, “The pill! The pill that Tan Xiaohui gave you!”
