Li Taibai had been sent by Ye Ning to stop Tao Tie from the very beginning.
However, Tao Tie was very strong. Although it was dead and had only a little strength left, it was still not something that Li Taibai could resist.
But if one was not enough, then three would do.
Chi You and Xing Tian raised their weapons and charged forward, fighting with Tao Tie.
Chi You summoned the ancient battlefield and trapped the Taotie. Then, Xing Tian waved his axe and went forward to fight the Taotie head-on.
Xing Tian immediately turned his axe into a hammer and smashed down like a storm, only causing the Taotie to howl.
Even his body was distorted by this violent attack, and the surrounding rocks were smashed into powder.
Li Taibai swung his sword again, leaving a hundred-meter-long mark on the ground every time.
As for Chi You, he used his spiritual energy to summon many weapons and smashed them down.
The strength of these three people had long surpassed the limit of S class. Even an SS class expert would fall under the siege of these three people.
However, they were unable to truly defeat the Taotie. No matter how the three of them attacked, they were unable to tear the Taotie's skin.
Very soon, the Empire's soldiers came over to investigate, but when they saw this situation, they all hid far away and did not dare to approach.
A battle of this level was not something ordinary soldiers could interfere in.
Two hours after the battle, Long Xingyu came here unwillingly.
She had already obtained the battle scene from the military and knew that the one who had attacked was the Spirit King. In her impression, the Spirit King did not give her the feeling that he was an evil person, but out of consideration, she still came personally.
"Uh, I still want to ask, why did you attack this guy?”
Women were always curious. She didn't think that the Spirit King would do anything worthless.
Ye Ning casually replied," Ye Ning begged me to suppress the Nine Lakes Brotherhood, and I happened to encounter this thing. It seems to be the Taotie of the four ancient beasts. You know, I'm a collector, and this thing is a good collectible."”
Long Xing Yu rolled her eyes and pointed at Li Taibai," I remember that you only have Xing Tian and Chi You. Now, you have Li Taibai, and it's only after I've offered you the Journey of Chivalry. I seriously suspect that you can use the historical items to summon the true spirits of their masters for your use.”
"So, you're interested in Tao Tie's True Spirit?”
"Spirit King, the king of all spirits, the ruler of the soul. What an apt name.”
Ye Ning didn't answer, so he took it as a silent agreement.
The battle lasted from dawn to dusk and only ended when night fell.
The mountains within a radius of more than ten kilometers were all shattered, and the ground sank by more than ten meters.
Ye Ning looked on silently. He could have suppressed Tao Tie in an instant, but he didn't.
There were too many gazes around. It was difficult to defeat the Taotie with the power of space, and if he used the power of time here, he would easily be targeted by some terrifying existences. That would be very troublesome.
Besides, Ye Ning wanted to see something.
As night fell, the Taotie finally stopped moving.
However, according to the system's introduction, the Taotie was still in a half-dead state. The reason why it did not move was because it had lost its vitality. In other words, the stimulation given by Kojiro had disappeared, and the Taotie had entered hibernation.
The combat strength of an ancient ferocious beast when it was alive had definitely surpassed SSS. It was so terrifying.
But everything was over.
Congratulations, Master, for obtaining a collection, Taotie of the four ancient beasts. Reward: 40000 Collection Points.
Ye Ning opened the teleportation gate of the Time Godly Palace in front of Long Xingyu and sent the Taotie's corpse in.
Long Xingyu curled her lips and did not speak in the end. After all, this was someone else's spoils of war.
Ye Ning activated his teleportation skill and arrived in front of a human officer.
The officer saluted Ye Ning,""Hello senior, I am the commander of the 125th division. May I know what instructions you have?”
Ye Ning pointed at the broken mountains in the distance.
"You'd better find someone to investigate this place. This mountain is not simple.”
"Understood," the officer said with a serious expression.”
"What's inside?" Long Xingyu asked curiously.”
Ye Ning fell silent and did not answer immediately.
The soldiers turned on the searchlights and searched the ruins. Soon, a cry of surprise was heard.
A soldier came to Long Xingyu's side and said a few words. Long Xingyu's expression changed drastically.
"Senior Spirit King, are you interested in going down with me?”
Ye Ning nodded.
The two of them were led by the soldiers to the center of the battlefield. This was once Cui Hu Peak, but it had been shattered.
There was a steel door in the middle of a few pieces of rubble. The soldiers had already cleared the surroundings of the steel door and the door had been opened.
More than half of the tunnel inside had collapsed, and someone was cleaning it up.
The two of them followed the soldier into the passageway. As soon as they entered, Ye Ning could smell a strong smell of blood and a strong stench.
He had smelled this scent on Taotie before.
" Sigh..." Ye Ning let out a long sigh. He had already gotten his answer from Wang Jiujiang.
However, when he came here with his own eyes, he still felt a little angry.
Soon, the two of them arrived 300 meters underground. They were already deep in the ground and were not affected much.
There was a laboratory in such a deep place, and the researchers inside had been suppressed and taken away.
Pushing open the door of the laboratory, Long Xingyu was shocked by everything in front of her. The officer behind her also clenched his fists in pain.
There were dozens of jars neatly placed in the hall of the laboratory. Each jar was filled with nutrient solution, and living people were soaked in the nutrient solution.
Judging from their skin color and appearance, they were citizens of the Sea Dragon Empire.
However, these people were in a very strange state.
Their bodies were covered with scarlet scales similar to Taotie's. Their bodies were also extremely distorted, looking like large lizards.
They had been injected with Taotie's blood and obtained a powerful vitality. They were still alive.
Some people had completely lost their minds. When they saw someone enter, they scratched their jars desperately, wanting to come out and eat.
The soldiers couldn't help but retreat when they saw the brutal attitude.
Some of them could still barely maintain their rationality, but they were only opening and closing their mouths again and again, as if they were saying something.
Ye Ning read their language,""Kill me."
In the deepest part of the laboratory, there was a pile of fresh human corpses. Many of them had been chopped up as if they had been made into feed.
And that was the truth.
Ye Ning let out a long sigh, took out a photographic stone, and began to record the surrounding scenery.
This was the place where Wang Jiujiang studied the Taotie's blood. The people in the jar were the special test subjects he had captured from all over the world. As for the body parts, they were the missing cultivators that Uncle Yamashita had mentioned.
Congratulations, Master, for obtaining a documentary from the Cherry Blossom Empire's Taotie Bloodline Fusion Laboratory. Reward: 100 Collection Points.
"Cherry Blossom Empire, I will make you pay the price.”
Long Xingyu suddenly turned her head.
"Respected Mr. Spiritual King, are you interested in making a deal?”
