Li Xuan had used up all his strength to tear through the Buddha-patterned petals. Furthermore, he was unable to dodge in midair. The Sky Conch's flying speed was just too slow, so it couldn't keep up with Li Xuan's rhythm. It was still gliding at a high altitude, and the direction it was gliding in wasn't where Li Xuan was.
Suddenly, a fist appeared beneath Li Xuan's feet, striking his soles. It was none other than Zhou Wen flying over.
Li Xuan exerted strength with his feet and stomped on Zhou Wen's fist, using the force to soar into the air. Zhou Wen also used the force of the stomp to rapidly descend. The two of them dodged the toad's poisonous water arrows simultaneously.
Li Xuan used the momentum to reach the lotus platform and cleaved at the toad's head. With a flash, Li Xuan retreated and leaped out of the lotus platform.
Bam!
The toad exploded like a bomb, sending poisonous water splattering in every direction, enveloping a large area. It was as though thousands of arrows were fired simultaneously.
Li Xuan was in midair and was powerless to dodge. However, the Sky Conch that had been flying all this while happened to fly over and block Li Xuan, blocking the poisonous water that spewed at him.
Zhou Wen landed on the Mutated Skeleton Ant's back and leaped up once again, flying back dozens of feet to dodge the poisonous water's splatter.
The poisonous water was extremely terrifying. The Sky Conch's body was instantly corroded by the poisonous water like snow touching burning charcoal. With a tragic cry, it plummeted into the pool.
By the time Zhou Wen landed, the Mutated Skeleton Ant had already stopped at his feet. However, Li Xuan had nowhere to use as his body plummeted straight into the pool.
As for the Dragon-Scaled Turtle that was supposed to be there to receive Li Xuan, it was still a distance away from Li Xuan due to Xu Miantu's flustered instructions. It looked like it wouldn't be able to make it in time.
Zhou Wen had just landed on the Mutated Skeleton Ant's back when he saw this scene. It was already too late for him to order the Mutated Skeleton Ant to rush over. He stomped hard on the Mutated Skeleton Ant's back and flew towards the plummeting Li Xuan. At the instant his back touched the pool, Zhou Wen pulled him up.
However, Zhou Wen's leap was limited after all. Soon, he began plummeting.
"Miantu, what are you waiting for? Quickly provide support." Li Xuan, who was being pulled by Zhou Wen, shouted at the nearby Xu Miantu.
Xu Miantu watched as the duo began plummeting. He was only about three to four meters away from them. As long as he got the Dragon-Scaled Turtle to speed up, he would be able to reach out and pull the duo.
But he stood there without moving, gritting his teeth and not saying a word. The veins on his forehead throbbed, but in the end, he didn't do anything.
"Xu Miantu, why?" Li Xuan wore a nasty expression. At this point, how could he not tell that Xu Miantu was deliberately scamming him and Zhou Wen?
From instigating Yang Lie in the beginning to leaving him in the lurch, everything was done deliberately by Xu Miantu.
The only person who could do this was Xu Miantu, who Li Xuan viewed as a confidant and knew everything about Li Xuan.
However, there was nothing Li Xuan could do. All he could do was stare intently at Xu Miantu as the duo fell into the pool.
There were exclamations from the shore. After all, they were still students. Even if they didn't like Zhou Wen and Li Xuan, they didn't wish for them to die.
"I was forced into a corner. Don't blame me." Just as Li Xuan and Zhou Wen were about to fall into the pool, Xu Miantu said with a ferocious expression. However, he didn't make a sound.
"Am I really such a failure as a person?" Li Xuan, who had been staring at him, understood what he was saying from the shape of his lips. He couldn't help but feel disheartened. Jiang Hao and Xu Miantu, whom he thought of as good friends and brothers, had betrayed him one after another. It left him disheartened.
Just as Zhou Wen and Li Xuan were about to fall into the water, two beams of light — one white and one silver — flashed above the lotus pond.
Silver light swirled behind Zhou Wen as four transparent silver wings appeared behind him. They rapidly flapped and pulled him and Li Xuan out of the water, quickly escaping danger.
"Impossible … Why do you have a flying Companion Beast?" Xu Miantu was alarmed and afraid when he saw Zhou Wen flying in midair. His face contorted.
Zhou Wen landed on the Dragon-Scaled Turtle's back with Li Xuan in tow. He looked at Xu Miantu and said, "I've given you multiple chances, but unfortunately, you still did it."
"You suspected me all this time? That's why you deliberately hid the fact that you have a flying Companion Beast? "Xu Miantu glared at Zhou Wen in shock and anger.
"If that wasn't the case, how would I know if you really treat me as a friend?" Zhou Wen said indifferently, "I'm a cold person by nature. I don't know how to treat others well. When others treat me well, I also suspect that they have ulterior motives. Although I also wish that you really treat me as a friend, the facts prove that this world is as cruel and heartless as I imagined it to be."
With that said, Zhou Wen glanced at the lotus pond beside him. He saw a beautiful girl with a pair of white wings floating in midair. She was beautiful and holy, and it was none other than the legendary angel Companion Beast.
This angel Companion Beast appeared above the lotus pond almost at the same time Zhou Wen summoned the Silver-Winged Flying Ant.
"Thank you." Zhou Wen looked at An Jing, who was riding on the white horse. He had understood An Jing's hint, but he feigned ignorance because he wanted to test Xu Miantu.
Furthermore, with the angel Companion Beast appearing, even if Zhou Wen didn't like An Jing, he felt that he should thank her.
"I was afraid that you wouldn't die and wanted to stab you. From the looks of it, there's no chance now," An Jing said with a deadpan expression. An Jing said expressionlessly as she extended her hand to summon the angel Companion Beast back. She rode the white horse and left.
"Xu Miantu, give me a reason to let you live," Li Xuan said coldly as he stared at Xu Miantu.
"Brother Xuan, I'm sorry. I was really forced. It was your second brother who forced me to do so … Please spare me …" Xu Miantu plopped to his knees and hugged Li Xuan's leg as he pleaded.
"You once risked your life for me. I can spare your life, but you didn't only cause my death. There's also Zhou Wen. Your life isn't enough to make up for two lives." Li Xuan kicked Xu Miantu away and turned his back to Xu Miantu. "Scram. If you can leave Luoyang alive, I'll spare your life."
Xu Miantu's expression turned ashen. He was from the Li family and knew how powerful the Li family was. As long as Li Xuan refused to spare him, there was no way he could leave Luoyang alive.
Feeling despair, Xu Miantu's eyes flashed with hatred. He suddenly used all his strength to lunge at Li Xuan, who had his back facing him. He roared ferociously, "Then let's die together."
Just as Xu Miantu was about to lunge at Li Xuan, Li Xuan, who had his back facing him, dodged Xu Miantu's lunge as though he had eyes on the back of his head.
Xu Miantu couldn't stop himself as he charged straight into the lotus pond.
