Chapter 816

Chapter 816: Chapter 813 Frog Spirit Chapter 816: Chapter 813 Frog Spirit In the mountain forest, everyone was still engaged in a fierce battle, and aside from Nie Cai Zhu, it seemed that the intensity of the combat was escalating, transforming from initial restraint to increasingly ferocious exchanges.

“Haha, how rare to engage in such an exhilarating battle, this journey is not in vain,” someone exclaimed.

Zheng Jun's giant sword created a gust as it swung, sending layers of sword Qi bursting forth like a raging wind that uprooted trees and ground them into dust.

Zhan Yue felt Bai Xiaotian, a fellow from the Buddhist sect, was a formidable opponent, and their fight grew more intense as the sound of explosive collisions of mana resounded incessantly around them.

Despite being slightly higher in realm and stronger in mana than Kulin, Nie Cai Zhu lacked the experience of fighting against others and was gradually being suppressed. On the other hand, Lin Qianqian, who was temporarily disengaged, joined the combat against Shen Luo.

Although this trial lacked the biennial back-and-forth duels of past years, witnessing such a grand melee battle satisfied the onlooking disciples, who ceaselessly cheered them on.

Shen Luo, inferior to Lin Qianqian in cultivation level but not in battle experience, deftly controlled the Pure Yang Sword Embryo and Dragon Horn Cone to launch successive attacks, holding his own and even earning applause from many onlookers.

As soon as Shen Luo noticed Nie Cai Zhu gradually falling behind, he used his sword to fend off Lin Qianqian and immediately leapt to Nie Cai Zhu's aid.

Seeing this, Lin Qianqian quickly followed in pursuit.

For a time, the pattern shifted from individual skirmishes to team combat, with Shen Luo joining forces with Nie Cai Zhu to confront Kulin and Lin Qianqian.

Just as the crowd was getting into the spirit of the fight, a strange beastly roar came from a distance.

Immediately afterward, the expressions of Shen Luo and the others changed as they all sensed an immensely powerful presence rapidly approaching.

Before they could figure out what was happening, a whirlwind suddenly swept through the high altitude, and a massive shadow fell from the sky, hurtling towards them.

“Scatter quickly,” Shen Luo shouted explosively, pulling Nie Cai Zhu to retreat first, while the others scrambled in different directions.

A thunderous boom resounded.

The towering shadow hit the ground like a crashing mountain peak, causing the entire earth to shake violently; billowing smoke and dust waves surged from its surroundings, instantly destroying the surrounding trees and leveling the ground.

Shen Luo waved his hand to clear the dust and fixed his gaze, only to see, in the place of the former grove, a massive, blue-green toad, dozens of feet tall. Its limbs were much longer than those of an ordinary toad, and atop its head was a peculiar white extrusion.

“A frog spirit…” Nie Cai Zhu whispered softly.

“You recognize it?” Shen Luo asked, furrowing his brow.

“I heard about it from Sister Lu Ying before. An elder in our sect, adept at alchemy, spent years gathering spirit grasses in this secret realm to refine a Beast Decree Pill. But before he could consume it, a common toad happened to swallow it whole. Enraged, the elder tried to kill the toad to retrieve the pill, only to find the toad had gained demon power from the elixir and transformed into a spirit, escaping. After searching for many years, when the elder finally found the toad spirit, it had already reached the Nascent Soul Stage. Unable to reclaim the elixir, the elder was instead killed by the toad spirit,” Nie Cai Zhu hurriedly recounted the past event.

Upon a closer inspection of the frog spirit, Shen Luo noticed its aura had clearly surpassed the Nascent Soul Stage, almost reaching the Mahayana Middle Stage. His brows furrowed tightly, and he couldn't help but wonder,

“Could this also be a part of this trial?”

However, before he could figure it out, the toad spirit suddenly let out a “gurgle” and opened its gaping maw to expel streams of purple-black poison, which rapidly engulfed everything in all directions.

Shen Luo pulled Nie Cai Zhu back repeatedly while making a hand gesture with one hand, furiously channeling the Nameless Cultivation Technique within his body and pushing his palm forward.

In a flash, a towering wave emerged from the void, colliding with the poison mist.

As soon as the two made contact, the water stream controlled by Shen Luo was quickly dyed purple-black and turned into venom.

Left with no choice, Shen Luo could only steer the water away, and faced with the surging toxic miasma, he instinctively shielded Nie Caizhu behind him.

Nie Caizhu watched Shen Luo's back and a trace of warmth flashed in her eyes. She lifted her hand to gently pat his back, signaling him to move to the front.

Only then did Shen Luo remember that Nie Caizhu was no longer the mundane woman who could only hide behind him that year.

He smiled awkwardly and stepped aside to give her space.

Nie Caizhu then moved forward, her hands quickly forming magic spells in front of her while she also quietly chanted magic spells under her breath.

As her chanting voice sounded, a layer of blue light immediately shone around her, condensing into slender strands of light that extended along the ground like rivers.

The light threads stretched into the poison fog, seemingly unaffected, while the poisonous gas actively made way for them.

A moment later, as the poison gas closed in on Shen Luo and her like a storm cloud bearing down on a city, Nie Caizhu suddenly let out a gentle cry:

“Blooming Clear Lotus.”

As soon as she spoke, a brilliant light erupted from all the blue light threads on the ground, and numerous blue lotus silhouettes emerged, emitting layers of serene light that instantly cleared all the nearby purple-black poison. The remaining toxins, fearing the light, floated up and hung several feet high in the void.

Shen Luo silently praised her in his heart. Looking ahead again, he found Bai Xiaotian and others lying scattered on the ground, only Zhan Yue was temporarily unharmed, enveloped in a Black Lotus.

“Gulp…”

A beastly roar rang out once more as the Frog spirit suddenly lifted a paw and swatted towards Huang Ting, who was closest to it.

Shen Luo immediately frowned, and using the Slanting Moon Steps at full force, his figure flashed and at the critical moment, he managed to pull her over and placed her behind Nie Caizhu.

Immediately after, he darted out again and rescued Bai Xiaotian.

However, before he could steady his stance, the Frog spirit attacked again, swatting towards Lin Qianqian this time.

Shen Luo wanted to save her, but it was already too late.

“Evil beast, don't touch her…” At that moment, an angry roar came.

Not far away, Zheng Jun, whose body was already covered in purple poison spots, suddenly stood up and swung the giant sword in his hand with all his might.

The whooshing sound of the Door Plank Giant Sword filled the air as it cleaved towards the Frog spirit with Zheng Jun's fury.

The latter's massive head turned around, its eyes filled with disdain. Its long tongue shot out, instantly coiling around the giant sword and with a tug, swallowed it whole.

During this moment, Shen Luo had already rescued Lin Qianqian as well.

At this point, the Frog spirit finally noticed Shen Luo, turning its body towards him; its massive purple-black tongue shot out instantaneously, aiming for Shen Luo's face.

Shen Luo dared not take the hit and quickly somersaulted to dodge, weaving through with the Slanting Moon Steps and rescued Zheng Jun as well.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Zhan Yue had temporarily removed the Black Lotus Treasure and rescued Sister Lu Ying.
