Chapter 60: Chapter 59: A Fate Not to End

It sighed deeply and, without the slightest compassion or consideration for beauty, grabbed Shi Jishan from the ground and bit towards her neck! The bad luck that persisted for two days was finally coming to an end. Now, the wonderful time for feasting had arrived.

Just at that moment, precisely at that moment, an angry shout came from the sky: "Demon, back off!" A streak of green light spiraled down, aiming straight for Wo Tou’s head.

The unfortunate Bat Demon, who was eager to take a sip of blood, would have to lose its head first, so it hurriedly drifted to the side. A green-robed cultivator landed beside Shi Jishan; the green light spiraled beside him, occasionally pausing, allowing those present to see that it was a Jade Pestle.

Ning Xiaoxian raised her eyebrows. She knew this person; there might still be a chance for change!

"This is Chi Su, the proud disciple of the Teaching Elder of the Chi Xiao Sect, with Mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation," she introduced to Changtian and the two little bat demons. Chi Su was a good man, whom she had seen several times on the mountain and knew to be very serious about his work. It seemed that the Chi Xiao Sect took Quan Shifang’s message very seriously and sent Chi Su to guard Siping County. He arrived just in time to save Shi Jishan’s life.

Wo Tou had a very sensitive perception and immediately judged that this cultivator’s cultivation was higher than that of Shi Jishan, and he was strong-bodied with a sound magic artifact. Had it been at its peak, it might not have been without a chance to battle, but now it was severely injured and had been worn down by Shi Jishan for most of the day, reaching the end of its strength.

Chi Su chased after it with the magic artifact, and although Wo Tou was agile, its injuries worsened, its demonic power failed, and eventually, it was hit hard in the back by the Jade Pestle at the right moment, spitting out several mouthfuls of black blood.

Chi Su took out the Heavenly Net refined by his master from his bosom, preparing to capture it. Once this artifact was deployed, it would surround the enemy with the unstoppable force of the Heavenly Net, with very few people able to break through.

But Wo Tou glanced at it and instinctively knew it was in trouble, suddenly letting out a loud shout and ran towards the west. Thinking about how, after all the effort, the prey was still rescued, it felt so frustrated that it wanted to spit out a few more mouthfuls of blood. But the situation was stronger than the individual, and if it did not escape now, it might never be able to later.

The speed at which it ran was indeed as fast as lightning, almost like a yellow shadow flashing by, and in the short time Chi Su was stunned, it had already gotten away. He turned to check Shi Jishan’s wounds, only to see her left shoulder, where the demon grasped her, swollen high with a light green pus oozing from the wound, obviously suffering from a serious poison. Seeing the demon far away and the precious guest of the Chaoyun Sect still unconscious, he could not dare to give up Shi Jishan and chase Wo Tou.

He stomped his foot and could only pick up Shi Jishan and fly towards the direction where Chixiao Mountain was located.

Bai Jing said: "Wo Tou used the Secret Technique of the Bat Demon Clan. It used its Lifebound Essence Blood to stimulate the Wind Riding Skill, much faster than usual. But this technique damages the body, and it must be very weak now."

Weak? The excitement here was already over; she left the scene with the two little demons, thinking of strategies in her mind.

Even if Wo Tou was weak, it was not something she could deal with single-handedly. A lean camel is bigger than a horse, and for a Late-stage Transformation demon, it would only need to extend a finger to crush her, even if she were joined by two little bat demons, the odds of winning would be small.

But time was pressing. Once Elder Brother Chi Su delivered Shi Jishan to the Chi Xiao Sect, naturally, there would be elders to take over her treatment. Then, he would be free to pursue and kill Wo Tou. Although Elder Brother Chi Su’s name seems interesting, he is not one for mere show; he truly possesses solid skills.

What should be done? She quickly thought through seven or eight methods in her mind, all of which she rejected one by one. There was only one chance; missing it would mean no success. If Chi Su captured Wo Tou, her involvement would be over.

After using the Bat Demon Clan’s Secret Technique to stimulate the Wind Riding Skill with its essence blood to escape, Wo Tou ran for half a moment before stopping. The cultivator did not pursue it further, presumably dealing with Shi Jishan’s wounds. A Green-winged bat demon’s sharp claws contain corrosive poison; people poisoned by it would slowly turn into pus and blood within ten two-hour periods and must be treated soon.

Wo Tou steadied itself, leaning against a big tree. The hit from Chi Su’s Jade Pestle had severely damaged its heart and lungs, and now even breathing a few times felt like pulling an old bellows, pausing with a loud gasp. These two days had been the classic case of not reading the fortune before leaving home, as everything went wrong. A Late-stage Transformation demon was hurt to the core by a series of unfortunate events. Even though its demonic power was originally profound, it has now been drained to the point of exhaustion, using even a little essence blood made it feel short of breath and dark before its eyes.
