In the forest, everyone was still fighting. Other than Nie Caizhu, the others seemed to be getting more and more violent. At the beginning, they were restraining each other, but now, they were getting more and more intense.
"Haha, it's rare to be able to fight so freely. This trip was not in vain."
Zheng Jun waved the giant sword in his hand, creating a whistling wind. Layers of Sword Qi burst out like a gust of wind, uprooting the surrounding trees and turning them into dust.
Meng Yue also felt that Bai Xiaotian, who was also a Buddhist, was a rare opponent. The more they fought, the more excited they became. Explosions sounded around them as their mana clashed fiercely.
Although Nie Caizhu's cultivation level was higher than Ku Lin's and her mana was stronger, she was still lacking in battle experience and was gradually being suppressed. Lin Qianqian, who was temporarily free, also found Shen Luo and fought with him.
In this trial, although there were no one-on-one battles like in previous trials, the spectating disciples were very satisfied to be able to see such a big battle. One by one, they could not help but cheer for them.
Shen Luo's cultivation level was not as high as Lin Qianqian's, but his battle experience was not inferior. He controlled the Pure Yang Sword Embryo and Dragon Horn Awl to attack continuously. He was not at a disadvantage at all.
When Shen Luo found that Nie Caizhu was gradually losing, he separated Lin Qianqian with his sword and immediately flew to help.
Lin Qianqian saw this and quickly chased after him.
In a moment, the one-on-one mode changed to a group battle. It became Shen Luo teaming up with Nie Caizhu to fight against Ku Lin and Lin Qianqian.
Everyone was in high spirits when suddenly, a strange beast roar came from afar.
Immediately after, Shen Luo and the others' expressions changed. They all sensed an extremely powerful aura that was rapidly approaching them.
But before they could figure out what was going on, a hurricane suddenly came from the sky. A huge shadow fell from the sky and smashed towards them.
"Spread out!"
Shen Luo shouted and pulled Nie Caizhu away. The rest of the people also scattered.
"Boom!" A loud sound was heard.
The huge shadow landed on the ground like a falling mountain, causing the entire land to shake violently. Billowing smoke and dust surged out from the surroundings like an avalanche, instantly destroying all the surrounding trees and razing them to the ground.
Shen Luo waved his hand to disperse the smoke and dust. Then, he focused his gaze and saw that there was a huge green toad in the woods. It was hundreds of feet tall. Its limbs were much longer than an ordinary toad's. Moreover, there was a white bone on its head. It looked very strange.
"Toad Spirit …" Nie Caizhu called out softly.
"You know it?" Shen Luo frowned and asked.
"I've heard from Senior Sister Lu Ying that there used to be an elder in the sect who was good at alchemy. He spent several years in this secret realm collecting spirit herbs to refine a Beast Spell Pill. In the end, before he could consume it, it was swallowed by an ordinary toad that was passing by. The elder was so angry that he wanted to kill the toad to get the pill. As a result, the toad that absorbed the power of the pill gave birth to monster power and escaped. Later, the elder searched for many years. When he found it, the toad spirit was already a monster in the Out-of-Body Stage. He failed to take back the pill and died in the hands of the toad spirit. "Nie Caizhu finished the story in one breath.
Shen Luo looked at the toad spirit again and found that the aura exuding from its body had obviously exceeded the Out-of-Body Stage, almost reaching the middle dacheng stage. He frowned and couldn't help wondering,
"Is this also a level of this trial?"
However, before he could figure it out, the toad spirit suddenly made a "gu" sound, opened its bloody mouth, and a purple and black poisonous gas spewed out of its abdomen, surging in all directions.
Shen Luo pulled Nie Caizhu and retreated again and again. At the same time, he made a gesture with one hand. The nameless cultivation method in his body was running wildly, and he pushed his palm forward.
In an instant, a monstrous wave condensed from the void and rushed toward the poisonous gas.
As soon as the two came into contact, the water flow controlled by Shen Luo was quickly dyed purple and black, and all of it turned into poisonous liquid.
Shen Luo had no choice but to lead the liquid away. Facing the billowing poisonous miasma, he habitually protected Nie Caizhu behind him.
Nie Caizhu looked at Shen Luo's back, and a trace of warmth flashed in her eyes. She raised her hand and patted Shen Luo's back, indicating to let her go to the front.
Shen Luo suddenly remembered that Nie Caizhu was no longer the mortal woman who could only hide behind him.
He smiled awkwardly and stepped aside.
Nie Caizhu stepped forward and made a gesture with both hands in front of her. She also silently chanted the incantation.
As she chanted, a layer of green light lit up around her body. It condensed into thin light threads and spread along the ground like a river.
The light threads extended into the poisonous fog and seemed to be unaffected. On the contrary, the poisonous fog had been actively avoiding them.
A moment later, the poisonous fog was like a black cloud, approaching Shen Luo and Nie Caizhu. Suddenly, Nie Caizhu whispered,
"Bloom of the Clear Lotus."
As soon as her voice fell, all the green light threads on the ground shone brightly. Green lotus shadows emerged one after another, emitting layers of faint light. They instantly cleared all the purple and black poisonous creatures nearby. The remaining poisonous creatures floated up in fear and hung in the void dozens of feet high.
Shen Luo praised in his heart. He looked ahead again and found that Bai Xiaotian and the others were lying on the ground. Only Zhan Yue was shrouded in a black lotus and was temporarily unharmed.
"Coo …"
A beast cry sounded again. The Toad Demon suddenly raised its claw and slapped at Huang Liang, who was closest to it.
Shen Luo immediately frowned and activated the Slanting Moon Steps at full power. His figure suddenly flashed and at the critical moment, he pulled Nie Caizhu back and put her down behind him.
Immediately after, he dashed out and rescued Bai Xiaotian.
However, before he could stand firm, the Toad Demon attacked again, slapping at Lin Qianqian.
Shen Luo wanted to save her, but it was too late.
"Evil creature, don't touch her …" At this time, a roar was heard.
Not far away, Zheng Jun, whose body was covered with purple poisonous spots, suddenly stood up. He used all his strength and swung the giant sword in his hand.
The giant sword whistled loudly and slashed at the Toad Demon with Zheng Jun's anger.
The Toad Demon turned its huge head, its eyes full of contempt. Its long tongue suddenly popped out and wrapped around the giant sword. With a pull, it swallowed it into its stomach.
Taking advantage of this gap, Shen Luo had rescued Lin Qianqian.
At this moment, the Toad Spirit finally noticed Shen Luo. It turned around and opened its mouth toward him. A huge purple-black tongue instantly shot out and went straight for Shen Luo's face.
How could Shen Luo dare to take it head-on? He hurriedly flipped over and dodged the attack. He used the Slanting Moon Steps to pass through and save Zheng Jun.
On the other side, Zhan Yue temporarily withdrew the black lotus and saved Ku Lin.
