Li Xuan and Zhou Wen were the first batch of people to discover the blood-patterned Buddha Heart Lotus. Zhou Wen was thinking of ways to kill it in-game, while Li Xuan wasn't idle either. He was also trying his best to obtain a Legendary flying Companion Beast to slay it.
However, there were relatively few Legendary Companion Beasts that could fly. It was even harder to find strong ones. Furthermore, Li Xuan was only at the Mortal stage. He needed more time and effort to incubate Legendary Companion Beasts than at the Legendary stage.
Up to now, Li Xuan had only hatched a Legendary Sky Conch.
Xu Miantu was also at the Mortal stage. Furthermore, he didn't have the Invincible Connate Divine Art, so he couldn't incubate a Legendary Companion Beast. However, he had always been with Li Xuan and had helped out when Jiang Hao betrayed him.
Therefore, Li Xuan gave a Mortal Dragon-Scaled Turtle Companion Egg to Xu Miantu. Although the Dragon-Scaled Turtle was only at the Mortal stage, it lived in the Black Dragon Swamp and had extremely strong resistance to corrosive liquids.
The Dragon-Scaled Turtle was also prepared by Li Xuan to kill the blood-patterned Buddha Heart Lotus. It was perfect for Xu Miantu to control.
Zhou Wen was aware of this situation. After calculating all the Companion Beasts the trio had, he was confident that they could join forces to kill the blood-patterned Buddha Heart Lotus.
"To kill the blood-patterned Buddha Heart Lotus, apart from needing a Companion Beast to do battle, we also need to enter the lotus pond personally. Only then will we have a hundred percent chance of killing it. Are you sure you want to enter the lotus pond?" Zhou Wen looked at Xu Miantu and Li Xuan and very seriously confirmed it.
"Humans strive for dignity, Buddhas strive for incense. I'm definitely killing the blood-patterned Buddha Heart Lotus," Xu Miantu said loudly.
"Zhou Wen, how confident are you?" Li Xuan asked as he stared at Zhou Wen.
"If all of you follow my instructions, there's a 100% chance of success. However, the three of you have to work together without any mistakes, or it will be extremely dangerous. It's especially so for Miantu, who's controlling the Dragon-Scaled Turtle. There can't be any slip-ups, or both of us will be in danger," Zhou Wen said to Xu Miantu.
"Don't worry. Even if I die, I absolutely won't let anything happen to you," Xu Miantu said as he patted his chest.
"Alright, let's do it." Li Xuan and Zhou Wen exchanged looks and nodded.
"Then let's begin. Listen to my instructions. Mian Tu, release the Dragon-Scaled Turtle …" Zhou Wen whispered his plan to the two.
The trio made their preparations as Xu Miantu released the Dragon-Scaled Turtle. A turtle the size of a small boat appeared above the lotus pond. Not only did it have a turtle shell, but it also had black scales on it. It looked extremely odd.
Typical Companion Beasts would immediately be corroded into a pile of bones when they touched the lotus pond water. However, the Dragon-Scaled Turtle was completely fine. It floated in the lotus pond like a black boat.
Xu Miantu and Li Xuan jumped onto the turtle's back. Just as Zhou Wen was about to board it, he suddenly heard a cold voice. "Good intentions might not necessarily lead to good things. Sometimes, good intentions can even kill."
Zhou Wen turned his head and saw An Jing sitting on the white horse with a cold expression. She was the one who had said those words.
Zhou Wen glanced at An Jing and smiled at her before turning to get on the turtle's back.
The Dragon-Scaled Turtle tore through the pond water and green lotus leaves as it rapidly approached the blood-patterned Buddha Heart Lotus. When it was about ten meters away from the blood-patterned Buddha Heart Lotus, Zhou Wen got Xu Miantu to stop the Dragon-Scaled Turtle.
"Miantu, stay here to provide support for us. Make sure to constantly pay attention to Li Xuan's landing spot. Follow the plan and make sure nothing goes wrong," Zhou Wen exhorted Xu Miantu.
"Brother Wen, don't worry. As long as I'm not dead, I'll definitely not let anything happen to you." Xu Miantu patted his chest as a guarantee.
"Alright." Zhou Wen nodded and looked at Li Xuan. "Follow the plan."
Li Xuan responded and summoned his Legendary Companion Beast, the Sky Conch.
The Sky Conch resembled a conch, but it had a pair of wings. Its body was about the size of a beetle and it was very balanced in midair. Although its flying speed was very slow, its advantage was that it could glide in the sky for extended periods of time without needing to land.
"A Legendary Sky Conch? How is that possible? Isn't Li Xuan at the Mortal stage? How can he incubate a Legendary Sky Conch? "Among the students on the shore, someone immediately recognized the Sky Conch and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Isn't it too early for all of you to be alarmed?" Li Xuan chuckled as he summoned the Black Knight and Jade-Eyed White Tiger in their companion forms.
The Black Knight transformed into an armor that enveloped Li Xuan's body. As for the Jade-Eyed White Tiger, it transformed into a Tiger Soul Saber that shimmered with a cold luster. The saber's hilt had a gem that resembled a tiger's eye embedded in it.
"Black Knight and Jade-Eyed White Tiger are both Legendary Companion Beasts … Heavens … Isn't Li Xuan at the Mortal stage? What's going on? Is this fellow really that preposterous scion of the Li family? "The students widened their eyes as they looked at Li Xuan in disbelief.
Li Xuan felt a little smug. Dressed in black armor and wielding the Tiger Soul Saber, he stepped on the Sky Conch and flew towards the blood-patterned Buddha Heart Lotus in a haughty manner.
In contrast, Zhou Wen paled in comparison. He summoned the Mutated Skeleton Ant and stood on its back. Without any weapons or armor, the Skeleton Ant walked across the water surface towards the other side of the blood-patterned Buddha Heart Lotus.
"Miantu, pay more attention to Li Xuan. Make sure he doesn't fall into the water," Zhou Wen exhorted Xu Miantu.
"Don't worry, Brother Wen," Xu Miantu said as he patted his chest.
Zhou Wen didn't say another word as the Mutated Skeleton Ant and Sky Conch flanked the blood-patterned Buddha Heart Lotus. As for Li Xuan's progress, he was faster than Zhou Wen's. Zhou Wen seemed to be deliberately lagging behind.
Bam!
More than ten blood-colored lotus seeds shot out at Li Xuan, instantly enveloping him and the Sky Conch, sealing off all his paths of retreat.
Li Xuan roared as he slashed at the blood-colored lotus seeds with the Tiger Soul Saber. The saber was so fast that it cleaved the blood-colored lotus seeds into two before they could explode.
When the two halves of the blood-colored lotus seeds flew more than a meter away, they suddenly exploded.
"Is that really the Li family's foppish third young master, Li Xuan?" Li Lie watched in astonishment as Li Xuan unleashed his might. He had cleaved apart the blood-colored lotus seeds with his saber and charged at the blood-patterned Buddha Heart Lotus.
And while Li Xuan was attracting the blood-patterned Buddha Heart Lotus's attacks, Zhou Wen took the opportunity to order the Mutated Skeleton Ant to charge at the blood-patterned Buddha Heart Lotus.
When he was less than three meters away from the blood-patterned Buddha Heart Lotus, Zhou Wen ordered the Mutated Skeleton Ant to leap up. And at that moment, the blood-patterned Buddha Heart Lotus opened its petals to devour the Mutated Skeleton Ant. If the Mutated Skeleton Ant had been any slower, Zhou Wen and the Mutated Skeleton Ant would have been devoured.
"Now!" Zhou Wen roared.
Without any hesitation, Li Xuan leaped off the Sky Conch and cleaved at the blood-patterned Buddha Heart Lotus with both hands.
The Tiger Soul Saber emitted a blinding white saber beam that instantly slashed at the blood-patterned Buddha Heart Lotus's petals. The blood-colored Buddha patterns on the petals emitted a red halo in an attempt to withstand the Tiger Soul Saber's attack.
However, the Tiger Soul Saber's saber beam was just too sharp. Together with Li Xuan's saber-elemental Primordial Energy Skill, the Tiger Soul Saber sliced through the petals.
