Chapter 149 We need to offer some incentives.
"That is……"
Outside the tornado, Nongying clearly saw a blue bolt of lightning shoot straight into the sky. Instantly, lightning rolled in the dark clouds, thunder roared, and the sky seemed to be torn apart.
"Boom..." Lightning rolled incessantly, and then a torrential downpour began.
"Swish swish swish..." The rain rushed in, instantly enveloping the entire forest, and the sky darkened, creating an extremely oppressive atmosphere that made it hard to breathe.
Changbai frowned. He hadn't summoned the lightning, so the rain had nothing to do with him. In particular, he felt a strong pressure within the lightning, which made it impossible for him to stay suspended in mid-air. He had no choice but to fly down to the ground.
Nongying rushed over and asked anxiously, "What happened? Did you do this?"
"It's obvious it wasn't me. When have you ever seen me summon such terrifying lightning?"
"If it wasn't you, then it could be..."
The thought that it might be Tao Tao made Nongying's face turn extremely pale. If Tao Tao could cause such a commotion, then the three of them might really be no match for her.
Just as they were surprised, the lightning in the sky suddenly transformed into a giant beast, baring its fangs and claws as it charged straight down at the tornado. Instantly, the tornado was entangled by lightning, and everywhere was filled with a faint blue light. A blue dragon could be seen coiling around it. With a lift of its head, an ice pillar rose from the ground and pierced straight through the tornado.
No matter how fierce the storm was, it was frozen by the ice pillars and there was no movement. As the caster, Changbai was sweating profusely and his mouth tasted bloody. He endured the oppressive feeling that was breaking through his body and kept changing his palm seals in an attempt to resist. However, the frost condensed and ice flowers scattered, and wherever they went, there was a vast expanse of ice. If the two of them had not dodged quickly, they would have been frozen by now.
At the same time, the ice pillars that had been enveloping the tornado shattered instantly, and an extremely powerful explosion spread outwards. Accompanied by immense power, it formed an irresistible pressure that radiated outwards.
"Run!" Seeing this, Changbai shouted urgently, but it was too late. He and Nongying were hit by the force and flew backward. The force was too great, and coupled with their serious injuries, they were in excruciating pain and could not exert any strength. The ice shards that flew over with them pierced their bodies, and in the blink of an eye, their bodies were stained red with blood.
As the two of them fell to the ground, the hurricane vanished and the tornado slowly disappeared. Only Tao Tao, holding an ice-blue longsword and carrying Xi Feng in the other hand, came stepping on the frost.
Inside, the wind and wind were not as direct as what Nongying and the others saw. They only felt that Tao Tao's power was not to be underestimated. Agreeing to this business was the worst decision they made. He was almost sucked into the eye of the storm, but fortunately Tao Tao saved him.
Tao Tao threw Xi Feng to the ground and slowly walked towards Nongying and the others. Xi Feng groaned and tried to get up, but found that his legs were weak and his body was still numb, so he couldn't move at all. He could only open his mouth and plead, "We were blind and hope that you will forgive us."
As Tao Tao slowly approached, sword in hand, his expression was unusually serious, and his entire body exuded an unfathomable aura of authority. In particular, when his cold eyes fell upon the two men, an inexplicable sense of danger swept over them, causing the two men, who were struggling to get up, to fall to the ground.
Knowing that she was doomed this time, Nongying regretted underestimating Taotao. Although she seemed to only have the cultivation of the early stage of Foundation Establishment, she was probably hiding her strength. The three of them combined might not be her match. Moreover, they had underestimated her from the beginning, thinking that they could deal with her by themselves.
If all three had attacked at the beginning, the outcome might not have been so disastrous, but it's too late to say anything now.
Nongying gritted her teeth and said, "We are simply outmatched. Do with us as you please."
"Who sent you to deal with me?" Tao Tao asked coldly, and the Ice Lightning Sword in his hand suddenly burst out with blue lightning, causing Nongying and Changbai to swallow hard.
"We take people's money to solve their problems, and we are very trustworthy. Once we have made a promise, we will definitely not tell anyone."
"What's the use of reputation if you're dead?" With that, Tao Tao held the Ice Thunder Sword directly to Nongying's neck. The lightning crackled and stung Nongying's skin. She frowned, clenched her fists tightly, gritted her teeth, and closed her eyes.
The fear of death swept over her, but she remained silent. Seeing her stubbornness, Tao Tao dejectedly sheathed her sword and said coldly, "I know who it is even if you don't tell me. There are only a few people who would spend money to deal with me at this time. I can guess it with a little thought."
After saying that, Tao Tao glanced at the three of them and said, "I'll let you off this time, but if there's a next time, I'll eat you up."
Her calm words were incredibly terrifying, especially the last one, "I'll eat you all." It seemed like a harmless statement, but for Tao Tao, it was a real threat. She could devour monsters, so what were a few people?
"Thank you." Changbai and Nongying hurriedly expressed their gratitude, thinking that the matter was over. But Taotao suddenly added, "Of course, we can't just let you off the hook like this. You have to give me something in return."
"What kind of reward?" This question left the two of them completely bewildered, wondering if Tao Tao was trying to squeeze something out of them.
"Of course." Tao Tao glanced at the storage bracelets on their wrists, her lips curving upwards slightly. With a flick of her wrist, she snatched the storage bracelets from Nongying and Changbai. She had probably used her divine sense to scan them and found quite a few good items. Of course, she had already taken Xifeng's storage bracelet while she was inside the tornado, as a reward for saving him.
Seeing that the storage bracelet had been taken away, Nongying became anxious. "You, you should at least leave us some, otherwise we won't even have any magic artifacts left."
"Then it's none of my business. Anyway, these things are definitely enough to save your lives." Tao Tao grinned, happily put away the storage bracelet, and left, leaving the three of them with helpless and pained expressions.
This time they really ran into a tough opponent. From now on, they will never dare to take on orders without understanding the target.
As for Tao Tao after leaving, she went straight to Xiao Huan Peak and gave Sun Lian another good beating. The lesson from last time wasn't enough, and Sun Lian still dared to cause trouble. This time, she had to teach him a lesson he would never forget.
The reason why Sun Lian was considered was simply because he had been causing trouble lately. Tao Tao naturally thought of him first. Even if it wasn't him, beating him up would calm her down.
Sun Lian, who was beaten so badly he was knocking his teeth out, was furious and roared, “You’ve gone too far! This is Xiao Huan Peak!”
"Why didn't you say it was going too far when you had someone teach me a lesson?"
"I, I didn't. Stop talking nonsense. This time I'm going to make sure my master gets justice for me."
"Fine, go find him now. I want to see who's the one who's embarrassed."
"you……"
Sun Lian really didn't dare to go to his master about this mess. He couldn't very well say that his junior sister had bullied him again, that would be too embarrassing if word got out.
Before Sun Lian could even think, Tao Tao threw another punch at his nose. Sun Lian screamed, his eyes rolled back, and he passed out completely. Only then did Tao Tao rub his wrist in satisfaction and fly away on his sword.
