Chapter 1229 The Peony is the King of Flowers
Outside, the Flame Spider Clan cultivators were still shouting and provoking.
One insulting sentence after another.
Li Yuan had lost her mind because she couldn't accept the hatred of her clan's annihilation.
Now that his reason has returned, he feels that these words are no longer enough to anger him.
In terms of provoking and insulting people, Long Lingzhu is clearly superior.
He suddenly chuckled softly.
His smile was bitter, full of irony.
Unexpectedly, one day he actually had to thank Long Lingzhu for insulting him.
If it were him three years ago, a single word from those Flame Spider Clan outside would have been enough to enrage him into rushing out without a second thought.
Even if it means facing death.
He closed his eyes slightly, his voice hoarse, "How is my sister...?"
"Her injury..."
Li Yuan couldn't bring herself to ask.
His only consolation was that his sister was still alive.
Otherwise, he felt he would really go crazy.
But after something like this happens, it's already a miracle to survive. At this point, one shouldn't be greedy for anything more.
The peony-loving cultivator Bai Zhuo glanced at him with a complicated expression, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
The orchid cultivator appeared in his true form, so his expression was not visible, but the trembling of the leaves on his body indicated that he was also not at peace with himself.
"..."
Li Yuan's heart sank.
"My sister..."
He didn't finish his sentence.
The fiery spider cultivator's piercing voice, seemingly close to his ear, rang out:
"Ha, I've finally found you!"
"You useless Hundred Flowers Clan members, you can't hide anymore!"
The formation that had been protecting the three people suddenly began to fluctuate.
Combined with the sounds coming from outside, everyone knew what had happened.
Bai Zhuo forced himself to stand up and looked at the orchid cultivator and Li Yuan.
The key ingredient is pear.
“You already know where your people are hiding. Now, I want you to split up and run in two different directions. They are outnumbered, so you might have a chance to escape.”
"Sister Baizhuo, what about you?" Li Yuan frowned, already guessing what was going on. "You want to stay?"
"No, you can leave, but you can split up and run away. I'll stay here."
Li Yuan said firmly, "I'm not injured, so I should stay."
The orchid-wielding cultivator disagreed, saying, "You're not good at fighting, and you won't last long if you stay. I'll stay, and even if I die, I'll take two of you with me to the afterlife."
He just finished speaking.
Turning his head, he saw that Bai Zhuo had already taken out a pill and quickly swallowed it.
In an instant, her listless and severely injured state seemed to vanish suddenly.
"There's no need to argue now, right?"
Bai Zhuo slightly curled the corners of her lips, "I am Peony. To put it bluntly, everyone in the human race agrees that Peony is the queen of all flowers."
"With me here, why would I need you?"
"The formation is about to break. There's no time left. You two, run!"
"Stop babbling on. I've taken all the medicine. Whether you run or not, I'm done for. If you don't run, you're just waiting to die with me. I won't let you go even after I'm gone, understand?"
After saying that, she suddenly smiled and looked at Li Yuan, "It's so nice to hear you call me Sister Baizhuo again. I haven't heard that address in a long time."
"Sister Baizhuo..." Li Yuan wanted to speak.
The impact outside the formation suddenly intensified, and the transparent barrier emitted a cracking sound as it could not bear the weight, with spiderweb-like cracks spreading instantly.
"Go!" Bai Zhu shouted sharply, and with a flick of his long sleeves, the supple phantom of the flower branch suddenly pushed Li Yuan and the orchid cultivator backward.
At the same time, she formed a hand seal, and an eerie blush appeared on her already pale face. The rich fragrance of peonies burst forth from her body, and countless phantom images of deep red petals swirled and condensed around her, ready to be unleashed.
Both the orchid cultivator and Li Yuan clearly knew that this was a temporary power gained by burning Bai Zhuo's own essence.
She had long been prepared to die.
Just like during their training, she protected them because she was the strongest.
Now, in the end, she still did the same thing as before.
The two of them gave Bai Zhu a deep look.
He opened his mouth.
He didn't say anything.
In the end, they transformed into two streaks of light and fled in completely different directions.
"Want to run?!"
The formation shattered with a deafening roar.
Five figures shrouded in dark red flames rushed in. The leading cultivator saw the two fleeing in different directions and sneered, "Chase them! Don't let either of them escape!"
He raised his hand and waved it, and two of them immediately chased after the direction in which the orchid cultivator and Li Yuan had fled.
He and the other two, with sinister smiles, pounced on Bai Zhuo, who stood still, his aura powerful.
"Forcibly raising one's cultivation level to its peak must have come at a considerable price, right?"
"Why bother? You're going to die anyway, so why not just face it properly? If struggling were useful, your Hundred Flowers Clan wouldn't have fallen to this state."
"dont you agree?"
Bai Zhu remained silent, only staring coldly at the other person.
The moment the opponent closed in within three zhang, the deep red petals surrounding her suddenly exploded.
"Enough with the nonsense! Even if I die today, I'll send you on your way before I die!"
……
Li Yuan is desperately trying to escape.
The orchid cultivator was right when he said that his cultivation level was low and his strength was weak.
He could clearly feel that the distance between himself and the Flame Spider Clan cultivator behind him was closing.
At this moment, he was glad that they had split up and run away separately.
At least in this way, he will not be a burden to his people.
"Hey kid from the Hundred Flowers Clan, hurry up or I'll catch up with you."
A teasing urging voice came from behind, mixed with the whistling of wind, growing closer and closer.
Li Yuan gritted his teeth, clearly feeling his spiritual energy rapidly depleting.
If we keep running away like this...
It's only a matter of time before they catch up.
Mind this.
He suddenly stopped, turned around, and stopped running.
"Oh, not running anymore?" The pursuing Flame Spider Clan cultivator also stopped not far away, his face showing a mocking look like a cat playing with a mouse. "That's more like it. Surrender obediently and tell me the location of your lair. Maybe I'll be in a good mood and give you a quick death."
As he spoke, he slowly approached, unabashedly releasing the pressure emanating from his thirteenth realm cultivation, attempting to psychologically crush this remnant of the Hundred Flowers Clan, whose strength was clearly weaker than his own.
