Chapter 104 Agreeing to Cooperate
The young master was also taken aback. He was well aware of his subordinate's strength, especially with this bow and arrow magic weapon, which had almost never missed. He never expected that it would be neutralized by this girl with low cultivation.
"Wu Cheng, you can't possibly be unable to beat her, can you?" He began to put pressure on him. It would be embarrassing if he couldn't beat her. Wu Cheng was aware of this as well. He drew his bow again and fired three arrows at once. Tao Tao saw this and immediately rushed out, constantly wielding his Ice Lightning Sword, releasing blue lightning mixed with the power of ice, instantly cutting the three arrows in half.
Since three branches don't work, keep adding more, and then it won't work anymore.
Wu Cheng fired ten arrows in quick succession, their speed terrifying, yet Tao Tao calmly wielded the Ice Thunder Sword in her hand. This sword was no ordinary magic weapon; it had been tempered by a level ten demon beast and then further tempered by her, making its power unimaginable.
Launching arrows consumes spiritual energy, and Wu Cheng's relentless attacks have already depleted too much of it. The key issue is that despite expending so much energy, he hasn't been able to harm Tao Tao in the slightest, which only adds to his frustration.
Tao Tao's spiritual power is inexhaustible. Every time she devours a demon beast, it is refined within her body and slowly transformed into her power. On the surface, she is only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, but in reality, she has already passed the peak of the middle stage. Dealing with Wu Cheng is naturally a piece of cake.
If this continued, Wu Cheng could no longer keep up. His face turned pale and his breathing became rapid, but he dared not stop without Young Master Lin's order and continued to draw his bow.
Perhaps knowing he couldn't hold on much longer, he actually tried to use all his strength to quickly finish off Tao Tao. In an instant, the bow in his hand emitted a dazzling light. When the bow was fully drawn, ten arrows appeared instantly. At this moment, he was already holding on with all his might. If all ten arrows were fired at once, he would probably use up all his spiritual power.
Sensing the power of the ten arrows, Qin Xiyu was very worried. She quickly searched her storage bracelet to see if she could find a defensive magic artifact to at least help Tao Tao withstand the attacks for a while.
Unexpectedly, Tao Tao was not intimidated at all. Instead, he stepped forward and charged at the ten arrows. Wu Cheng was shocked. Before he could even gather his strength, he released the bow and fired all ten arrows at once, heading straight for Tao Tao.
Seeing this, Tao Tao calmly unleashed a sword strike. As it swept across the sky, lightning transformed into a giant blue monster that descended from the heavens with its gaping maw.
"Oh no!" Wu Cheng exclaimed in alarm, hurriedly trying to dodge. However, the lightning was too fast for him to avoid, and he was instantly swallowed by the falling giant beast, turning into a lightning array several meters high. The beast electrocuted him until he was charred and burnt, black smoke billowing from his mouth, his hair standing on end, and he collapsed to the ground in a sorry state.
As for the ten arrows that were fired, they were all cut down by Tao Tao, unable to get close to her at all.
This scene was heartbreaking, especially for Young Master Lin. He thought Tao Tao and the others would be easy to handle, but who knew they were so powerful? Even if their magical weapons were mutually exclusive, they shouldn't have been so easily crushed. He knew the strength of his own people.
Now that things have come to this point, Young Master Lin, of course, knew when to back down and no longer chose to be Tao Tao's enemy. Instead, he changed his tune and said to Tao Tao in a friendly manner, "I already know your strength, so there's no need to compete anymore. I can agree to the cooperation."
Even though he was clearly at a disadvantage, he still acted self-righteously, because his cultivation level was higher.
Upon hearing his agreement to cooperate, Si Xiaoxiao spoke before Tao Tao could even speak, saying, "That's perfect. There might be many dangers inside. More people means more protection. With Young Master Lin's help, our chances of winning will be much greater."
That seems to make sense. Tao Tao thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "That works too."
She didn't care what extraordinary treasures were inside; she just wanted to go in and take a look since she was already there. If she encountered any interesting monsters or medicinal herbs, she could have a good meal.
Therefore, Tao Tao didn't mind having more people with her. She knew that places like this were definitely dangerous, and it might be difficult for her to take care of Qin Xiyu and Si Xiaoxiao by herself. In addition, although the two of them might not help her, they could at least draw aggression.
Seeing Tao Tao nod, Young Master Lin walked to Tao Tao's side with an air of importance. He glanced at her as she sheathed her sword and couldn't help but look at the Ice Thunder Sword a few more times, his eyes filled with envy. However, on the surface, he smiled and cupped his hands towards Tao Tao, "I am Lin Zifan of the Lin family. May I ask what your name is, young lady?"
"Happy and carefree".
After asking Tao Tao's name, Lin Zifan didn't even glance at Qin Xiyu and the other person. With their abilities, they were not worthy of his attention and had no right to be known by him.
Qin Xiyu and the other person were also a little embarrassed, especially Qin Xiyu. She wanted to greet them, but they turned their heads away without even glancing at her. She pretended to be nonchalant and tidied her hair to ease her embarrassment.
After making his decision, Lin Zifan took out a bottle of pills, walked to Wu Cheng's side, and fed him a pill. This pill was quite potent; shortly after taking it, Wu Cheng slowly regained his senses, although he needed to recover his spiritual energy slowly due to its excessive consumption.
"I've already agreed to go in with them, you just need to follow me."
Although Wu Cheng didn't know what had happened, he immediately realized it was because of his dereliction of duty. He quickly said with remorse, "It was my fault for not doing a good job. Please punish me, young master."
"You should be punished, but not now. Take care of what's in front of you first."
"Yes."
Now that Wu Cheng had recovered, they were about to enter the ancient temple. Before going in, Lin Zifan looked at Tao Tao and said with a smile, "Miss Le, there are some things I must make clear beforehand. Your two friends have too low a cultivation level, so it's fine to bring them along. However, if they encounter any treasures, they can only get 10% of them."
For Lin Zifan, the fact that he was given this opportunity was already considered an act of leniency; otherwise, he would never have compromised in this situation.
"One-tenth?" Tao Tao's eyes widened. She might not care much about the treasures inside, but for Qin Xiyu, it was an immense opportunity. Why should she be given such a small amount?
Fearing that Tao Tao might get into a fight, Qin Xiyu quickly said, "It's alright, it's alright. I know my cultivation level is low, and I'm already very grateful that you can take me in."
Si Xiaoxiao didn't seem to care at all, and said with a light laugh, "One percent is fine, but there's one thing that must belong to me."
"what?"
"The clothes left behind by the Ascended Senior."
"clothing?"
Her request left Lin Zifan puzzled. Since she deliberately asked for it, it must not be an ordinary item. Why would he give it to someone else?
Fearing Lin Zifan might misunderstand, Si Xiaoxiao explained, "It's not some extraordinary treasure. I'm sure Young Master Lin wouldn't be interested in it at all. I just heard that this dress is made of Cloud River Valley's Falling Silk Ice Cicada Silk, which looks extremely beautiful in the sunlight, and I couldn't help but be tempted."
"That's all?" Lin Zifan was somewhat surprised, feeling that it was hard to believe.
Si Xiaoxiao replied frankly, "That's right. If you don't believe me, you can check it yourself after you go in and find it."
Since things had come to this point, Lin Zifan naturally couldn't say anything more and agreed. As for the division of the treasures, Tao Tao didn't insist anymore. In any case, whether or not one could obtain them after entering depended entirely on their own strength, so there was no point in saying anything now.
