My Fairy Growth System

"Ding~" A crisp sound of metal clashing echoed across the open fields as a golden spear burst through the wall of the adjacent room like lightning, blocking the fatal strike.

Yu Qingtan's pupils contracted as her gaze fell on that familiar figure. Her voice was filled with anger and disbelief, "Gou Dongxu, it's actually you! Yan Ruyu, you dare to collude with the Demon Race's spy and plot against me!"

Anger made Yu Qingtan's voice tremble in the air. She hadn't expected Real Person Yan Ruyu to be so audacious, nor had she imagined that Yan would collude with Gou Dongxu to use some kind of soul attack technique to ambush her. And she, had not detected the slightest.

Real Person Yan Ruyu's face was deathly pale at this moment, truly frightened. She wailed miserably, "Xu Ge, save me!" Her voice was filled with helplessness and fear.

Real Person Dongxu's figure flashed, and he was instantly by Real Person Yan Ruyu's side. He shot a sinister glance at Yu Qingtan, then soaring into the sky with Real Person Yan, they left the vicinity of Chunjie Immortal City in a flash.

He too was shocked beyond measure. Clearly, Yu Qingtan had inhaled quite a bit of the Soul-extinguishing Incense hidden in the Peaceful Soul Incense without any precautions, yet nothing had happened to her.

There was no choice but to leave first and initiate the backup plan; after all, the Protective City Formation of Chunjie Immortal City was only a third-stage middle grade and was no match for Yu Qingtan.

Their speed was extremely fast, almost like teleportation, leaving the approaching Cultivators, including Real Person Ke and Yan Xi, dumbfounded.

Yu Qingtan sneered. Instead of pursuing immediately, she dropped several Array Flags and set up a third-stage Formation to seal off Real Person Yan Ruyu's room.

Then she performed the Five Elements Qiankun Escape, even deliberately slowing down her speed. Real Person Dongxu's escape technique was fast for other Golden Core Cultivators, but to her, it was nothing.

She didn't want to extend the battle to Chunjie Immortal City.

Her Divine Sense maintained a lock on Gou Dongxu and Yan Ruyu, chasing them for about five hundred li before they were within direct sight. Real Person Yan Ruyu was now pale-faced, while Real Person Dongxu looked utterly ruthless.

"Xu Ge, she's catching up, what should we do?" Real Person Yan said in a panic. Her voice trembled slightly, clearly frightened by Yu Qingtan's previous attack.

She was a Golden Core True Person who barely climbed up the ranks by virtue of talent and family resources, without a lifebound magical treasure, her strength only sufficient to bully Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

"No worries, I'm here. You go ahead, wait for me at the old place!" Real Person Dongxu responded. He snickered internally, simply pushed Yan Ruyu forward, and stopped himself.

Although Yan Ruyu was worried, she obediently continued alone. She knew her strength was far inferior to both Yu Qingtan and Real Person Dongxu; staying would only be a burden.

A golden crown appeared above Real Person Dongxu, forming a shield. His lifebound golden spear reappeared, the spear tip radiating a brilliant golden light, thrusting towards the approaching Yu Qingtan.

Yu Qingtan also directed her lifebound Five Elements Canglan Sword to thrust forward. Blade tip against spear tip, the massive collision created a huge sonic boom, and the shockwave propagated along the plane of impact, even dispersing the white clouds above.

The result of the collision sent Real Person Dongxu's golden spear flying back. The hardest tip of the spear was actually blunted. Although expected, Real Person Dongxu still felt a sense of loss. He was shocked by Yu Qingtan's strength, and his resolve to eliminate her hardened even further.

"Is this the strength of the third spot on the Pride of the Heavens List? But today, you will die," Real Person Dongxu thought coldly to himself.

He took out a Nascent Soul Charm Treasure and activated it with Spiritual Power, A chill swept in, aiming to freeze Yu Qingtan into an ice sculpture.

Yu Qingtan recognized it, the Nascent Soul Charm Treasure contained the Fourth Stage Ice-type Dao Art "Beautiful Freeze". A Third Level Flame Domain manifested around her, filled with raging flames to resist the invasion of the chilling cold from the Dao Art "Beautiful Freeze."

She felt that Gou Dongxu daring to make a move against her again meant there must be more up his sleeve than just the Nascent Soul Charm Treasure. In fact, a faint sense of crisis began to rise in her heart.

Therefore, although she had already used Love's Protection to raise her Cultivation Level to the Mid-Nascent Stage, she kept it hidden, wanting to see what other methods Gou Dongxu might have.

Realizing that Yu Qingtan had actually used a Third Level Flame Domain to barely withstand the Dao Art attack from the Nascent Soul Charm Treasure, Daoist Gou Dongxu was extremely surprised. He had heard about Yu Qingtan's dual cultivation in the Water Path and Wood Path, but he never expected that she could also cultivate a Third Level Flame Domain. This made him raise his evaluation of Yu Qingtan's strength by another notch.

However, this did not change his determination. He once again activated the Nascent Soul Charm Treasure, using thirty percent of his internal Spiritual Power to launch a second Dao Art attack. This time, he aimed to freeze Yu Qingtan into an ice sculpture!

Yu Qingtan eventually "could not withstand" and was turned into an ice sculpture. Traces of flames still lingered on the surface of her body, and her eyes could scarcely move.

However, at that moment, suddenly from beneath the ground sprang forth a giant python with the girth of a man, its gaping maw wide open, swallowing Yu Qingtan whole. The skin of the giant python was the same color as the mud, and the fleeting breath it had just exhibited was shockingly at the Late Nascent Soul stage!

This was a Demon King level Earth Python, known as Earth Traveler. It was a natural master of stealth and concealment, and its Innate Divine Ability allowed it to go undetected in the earth by even the Divine Sense of a Divine Transformation Cultivator. As such, it had been dispatched by the Demon Race, lurking in Human Race territory, to secretly cause trouble.

Although Earth Traveler had a large body, it was actually quite small for a late Fourth Stage Demon King, which was also for the purpose of easier concealment.

The action to kill Yu Qingtan was Earth Traveler's backup plan. It had been lurking underground the whole time, waiting for an opportunity. When it saw Yu Qingtan frozen into an ice sculpture by the Dao Art from Daoist Gou Dongxu, it knew its chance had come. So, it struck decisively and swallowed Yu Qingtan whole.

This was precisely the battle plan that it and Daoist Gou Dongxu had previously devised.

If the Soul-extinguishing Incense could take effect and directly extinguish Yu Qingtan's soul, that would be for the best.

If, as it happened now, the Soul-extinguishing Incense didn't take effect, they would have to rely on Earth Traveler to do the deed.

"Hahaha, His Majesty is mighty! No matter how high Yu Qingtan ranks on the Pride of the Heavens List, or how exceptional her talent, once she's in your stomach, she can only become nourishment for you!"

Daoist Gou Dongxu complimented.

His last ambush on Yu Qingtan failed and exposed his identity, causing some dissatisfaction from the Demon Race side.

However, since he had recently met Earth Traveler and provided it with many high-quality Human Race blood meals, Earth Traveler was quite satisfied with him, becoming his backer.

"Of course, but this Human Race girl is quite hard to digest, let's leave this place first!"

Earth Traveler said, and burrowed back into the ground.

Daoist Gou Dongxu used an Earth Escape Technique and followed.
