Zhao Yiyao, after her demonic transformation, was surprisingly fierce. She carved a path through the obstacles, even running on Chang Teng's vines and performing agile somersaults to dodge sneak attacks from other vines.
For a moment, the audience below erupted in cheers, and the bullet screen comments became even livelier!
【Zhao Zhao's Pet Owner: This sister actually turned into a cat-girl, I love it!】
【Feng Chen Dao Ren: What is a cat-girl? Alas, I have to admit I'm getting old, I can't keep up with young people's thinking anymore.】
【Pork Rolling Around God Can't Stand: Strictly speaking, she's not a cat-girl, but... a weasel-girl? I suddenly feel a bit unable to look directly... However, the Zhao family from the Northeast is indeed extraordinary. These demon tamers from the Crimson Flower Society are probably in trouble!】
Zhao Yiyao's demonic form drew even more attention.
Meanwhile, Huang Si Pi was not idle either, chasing and biting Huang A Li.
Huang A Li was no match for Huang Si Pi anymore and had lost all his previous arrogance.
Soon, Zhao Yiyao broke through layer after layer of obstruction and reached Chang Teng!
Although the vines controlled by Chang Teng were very agile, Chang Teng itself was quite clumsy. If Zhao Yiyao got close, it might be a scene of being slaughtered at will.
Wu Tianfeng, watching from below, grew anxious: "Left Protector, what are you doing?!"
However, the Left Protector remained surprisingly calm, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.
He suddenly shouted, "Attack!"
Chang Teng did not move, but from its canopy, three white shadows shot out!
Zhao Yiyao did not expect the opponent to have a hidden move. Despite her best efforts to dodge, her left leg was hit.
She was suddenly immobilized, as if something had grabbed her calf.
Looking back, she saw a mass of white spider silk pinning her left leg to the ground!
At the same time, Zhao Yiyao felt a burning sensation in her left leg... the silk was poisonous!
From Chang Teng's canopy, a white spider the size of a washbasin, hanging upside down along the silk thread, descended. Its abdomen actually bore a lifelike human face!
Some spiders evolve special patterns on their bodies to scare off predators, camouflaging themselves as advanced hunters, mimicking creatures like snakes or birds.
In nature, spiders with patterns resembling human faces do exist.
But—the human face on this spider was real!
The human face opened its mouth and let out a shrill, piercing laugh, as if mocking Zhao Yiyao for her carelessness and falling victim to its sneak attack.
"A third demon?"
Zhao Yiyao's heart sank as she saw the Left Protector laughing behind Chang Teng.
It turned out that the Left Protector had summoned two demons at once, but the spider demon had been hidden in Chang Teng's canopy, lying dormant until now, seizing the opportunity to launch a surprise attack.
So meticulous and not easy to deal with...
"Hahahaha!" the Left Protector roared with laughter, "Do you really think my Crimson Flower Society is full of incompetent people? This spider demon is named Tian Fu, with six hundred years of cultivation!"
Six hundred years of cultivation... was already a rare and terrifying great demon.
A silence fell over the scene, as Tian Fu's appearance had clearly redefined everyone's understanding of demon tamers.
The members of the Folk Research Association gathered together, their faces looking grim.
He Xiping whispered, "As expected, we underestimated the demon tamers. Their demon-taming pots are passed down through generations. Even if the Left Protector's strength is lacking, the demons within the pot are truly powerful."
"Yiyao is in trouble. If the demon tamer summons a few more demons, she might exceed her limit," Luo Ning said, worried about her best friend.
"This battle... Yiyao has already lost," Wang Jiwang sighed, "It was my oversight earlier; I shouldn't have let her go on stage."
The others looked at Wang Jiwang in unison, their tone laced with a hint of questioning: "How has she lost?"
Wang Jiwang calmly explained, "There are likely other demons in the demon-taming pot. Even if Yiyao gains the upper hand, the demon tamer will inevitably go all out in the end, forcibly summoning all the demons, or demons he can't control. In any case, his goal is to defeat Zhao Yiyao. As for the mess left behind, whoever is the owner here will clean it up."
Hearing this, everyone's expressions suddenly turned very grim.
No one doubted that more powerful demons might exist within the demon-taming pot.
Wang Jiwang was also right; within the Folk Research Association, a demon tamer could summon demons without regard for the consequences, as he wouldn't be the one cleaning up the mess.
"So, is she still fighting?" Luo Ning asked softly, "Why don't we call an emergency halt?"
"Stopping now would be equivalent to admitting defeat," Wang Jiwang shook his head. "We can only hope Old Yan finishes his seclusion soon."
Only when Yan Shouyi appeared would this warm-up match be called to a halt.
And at this moment, there were less than two minutes left until the agreed time of nine o'clock.
"Brother Yan, Brother Yan, hurry up and appear!" Long Feicheng prayed silently in his heart.
On the stage, Zhao Yiyao used her broadsword to hack through the spider silk wrapped around her calf.
She took a few deep breaths, regaining her composure.
However, as soon as she took a step, her left leg suddenly went weak, and she stumbled to the ground.
The poison had spread!
The Left Protector's smile became even more sinister: "Tian Fu's poison can only be neutralized with Tian Fu's serum. If you surrender now, there's still time. Too late, and there will be no hope of recovery!"
"Surrender now, and I will have Tian Fu detoxify you!"
Zhao Yiyao gritted her teeth and glanced back at the audience below.
She saw Old Jin in the audience nod slightly.
Old Jin's meaning was that he could detoxify this so-called Tian Fu poison, and what the Left Protector said was merely to scare her.
With Old Jin backing her up, Zhao Yiyao was no longer worried.
She struggled to stand up, a cold smile playing on her lips: "My Zhao family, with ancestors who produced thirteen generals, have never cowered on the battlefield. How can I, of all people, bow down to a mere, un दरजे का demon tamer like you?"
A mere, un दरजे का demon tamer?
The Left Protector's smile vanished, replaced by a ferocious expression.
"Since that's the case, then I, this un दरजे का demon tamer, will send you to your doom!" the Left Protector said sternly. "Tian Fu, Chang Teng, Huang A Li, kill her!"
Huang A Li immediately shook off Huang Si Pi and lunged towards Zhao Yiyao.
Unexpectedly, Huang Si Pi was faster, arriving beside Zhao Yiyao even before Huang A Li!
The next second, Huang Si Pi's body suddenly became transparent and ethereal, phasing directly into Zhao Yiyao's body!
The two merged into one!
Zhao Yiyao's physique changed again. Yellow fur sprouted on her body, her fingernails became sharp and long, and her mouth grew sharp fangs!
Even more terrifyingly, her muscles bulged, and her calves even burst through her jeans, becoming as strong as a female Hulk!
There was a second stage?!
Everyone present looked shocked. Based on their understanding of Chu Ma Xian, they couldn't fathom this move.
The audience was silent and bewildered, but the live stream exploded because of a single bullet comment.
【Nooks and Crannies: This... this is a lost secret art recorded in the ancient "Shen Nei Jing" of Chu Ma Xian... I remember it's called Shen Nei Dao Lin, and it hasn't been seen in the Jianghu for hundreds of years!】
