Chapter 191 Walking Together
Chapter 191 Walking Together
Sato Reiko looked at them sinisterly, like a poisonous scorpion aiming at its prey. Her broken right hand had recovered, and she had set up an ambush here, hoping to take down Wang Xiao in one fell swoop when he appeared.
In her opinion, as long as Li Jingyi took the antidote, she would be dead. Unexpectedly, the other party appeared in front of her in good health.
"It's better to be alive. Only when you solve the problem yourself can you feel a sense of accomplishment."
From her fearless attitude, it can be seen that she has already broken through to the Hedao realm. For a moment, the shadows of thousands of poisonous insects appeared behind her.
"Don't make any move yet."
Wang Xiao stopped Li Jingyi. He wanted to experience the gap between the Hedao realm and the ninth level of Guiyuan.
"Sato Reiko is good at using poison, you have to be careful." After parting with Luankongjie, she just wanted to see what the person in front of her can do.
"I have already embarked on the path of unity with the Tao. With the blessing of the Tao, the gap between you and me cannot be made up by ordinary means!" Who is a mediocre person who can enter the secret realm? Sato Reiko has her own arrogance. Seeing that the other party actually tried to challenge her alone, she couldn't help but sneer.
"If you don't join forces, you won't have any chance at all."
"hiss!"
Behind her, a poisonous snake twisted its body and stabbed its tongue. Her toes tapped the ground lightly, and her body gathered energy like a spring, and in an instant, it moved closer.
"She knows how strong my body is, yet she still dares to fight melee?"
In a flash, Wang Xiao did not confront head-on but chose to retreat.
"Aren't you trying to defeat the strong with the weak? Why do you just run away?"
Facing Sato Reiko's ridicule, he didn't care. The more the other party provoked him, the more it proved the danger of her moves. Moreover, the other party was full of poison. Although the spiritual armor could defend against poison, he didn't know the upper limit. It was not wise to rush into it.
After several moves, a pungent stench of decay emanated from the place where he stood. The opponent's speed was so fast that he was like a swift poisonous snake. Even with his speed, he was almost caught up several times. The tail whip only brushed the air, and his clothes were torn into several large holes.
"It seems that the shadow behind her can enhance her combat power and provide special attributes."
Wang Xiao felt that it was not that simple. He felt a light under his feet and wanted to try it again.
"Step on the mines."
"The shadow behind her is spiritual and can fight." Li Jingyi reminded.
"You're nosy!" Her secret was revealed, and Sato Reiko glared at her viciously with her vicious eyes.
However, he was too fast when he used the mine-stepping technique and crashed into it, but his target was originally a phantom.
"Nine Thunder Method."
Wang Xiao made a hand gesture, and electric light surrounded his body, as if the god of thunder had descended to the earth.
"After the integration, my baby is not afraid of your Fan Lei. Hmm? That's not right!"
There was a hint of panic in Sato Reiko's calmness, and a thought flashed through her mind.
"You survived the catastrophe?"
Unfortunately, it was too late. The giant snake opened its mouth wide and wanted to swallow him, but the thunder on Wang Xiao's body was invincible and cut its head into two pieces.
Not only did he survive the heavenly tribulation, but he also actively attracted thunder when practicing the Thunder-Stepping Technique. Therefore, his thunder magic is much more powerful than that of ordinary people, and more importantly, he has a kind of blessing that comes from nature.
Sato Reiko's blood boiled, and she turned around and left. She never expected that there would be someone who was born to be her nemesis, and with Li Jingyi flanking her, she was really worried that something unexpected would happen.
Seeing Sato Reiko leave without looking back, Wang Xiao’s idea of verifying himself failed.
Wang Xiao and Li Jingyi did not chase after her. Given her status, she must have some tricks up her sleeve. The best result would be to scare her away. Now the most important thing was to raise her realm.
Li Jingyi was surprised at Wang Xiao's fighting ability, but since everyone had their own secrets, she did not ask any questions.
"What are your plans, sir?"
"You should just call me by my name, it will be more comfortable this way." Wang Xiao continued; "I want to find the medicinal garden in the secret realm and pick the Awakening Spirit Lotus, what about you?"
"The medicine garden has multiple guards, and the Awakening Lotus is one of the most precious medicines. It is not easy to pick it. My target is also the medicine garden. In my opinion, I should prioritize meeting up with my companions. It will be easier to find a solution with more people."
"What the princess said is very true."
"I was asked to call you by your name, but you still call me princess?" Li Jingyi said dissatisfiedly.
"Uh, is calling her Jingyi too intimate?" He subconsciously recalled what happened last night. Li Jingyi saw his wandering eyes and her face turned slightly red.
"Don't let your imagination run wild! It's just a name. You saved my life, and we've known each other for a long time. Calling you princess seems too distant."
Wang Xiao thought about it and felt that it made sense.
"When do you plan to break through?"
"Let's find a safe place first. If we break through now, I'm afraid Sato Reiko will come back." Li Jingyi said after thinking about it.
"Then let's go together first, so we can look after each other."
"Well, the terrain of the secret realm is complicated, so let's go and see."
While on the road, Wang Xiao suddenly asked, "Oh, I forgot to ask, why did that person named Sato Reiko want to kill you? From her tone, she seems to be from your Tang Dynasty, right?"
"No." Li Jingyi shook her head. "She comes from an island country next to the Tang Dynasty, called Jiepan. Like other vassal states around it, it has always paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty and selects some children every year to learn from us in various aspects. Sato Reiko comes from the Insect Valley. She is their youngest genius of the time and has also obtained a place in this conference."
"Shouldn't she be trying to please you? Why does she look like she wants to kill you?"
"Things have yin and yang, and people have good and evil. In every country, there will be treacherous ministers in every dynasty. Where there is light, there must be darkness. This is inevitable. I suspect that the Jiepan Kingdom is colluding with the people of the current dynasty."
Wang Xiao immediately thought of Master Pan of the Great Xia Dynasty. The ruler of a country couldn't do anything to him. The family had been operating for who knows how many years, and its power was deeply rooted. Without absolute certainty of overthrowing him, rash actions would only hurt himself more.
"It seems that being born into a royal family is not such a happy thing."
"It's all the same, actually. Everyone has a different identity and status, and the corresponding responsibilities they have to bear are also different. How can one enjoy rights without fulfilling his duties and obligations?" Li Jingyi said calmly.
Wang Xiao admired her words. Even though she had encountered danger because of her identity, she did not complain. Instead, she had a positive attitude. She was worthy of being the favored daughter of the Tang Dynasty royal family.
"Why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?"
Noticing the other person's gaze, she even used magic to take a look.
"Oh, no."
Wang Xiao withdrew his gaze and focused on his journey.
The place they were in was sparsely populated, and the two flew for a long time without encountering any living creatures. While Wang Xiao was traveling at full speed, he observed this world, which had a different atmosphere compared to the outside world.
