Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack
Chapter 1439 - 1419: The Weak Gate of Another World?
Tang Tianyi watched the pot in front of him, his lips twitching slightly, but he said nothing.
Is the blood in the Demon World Blood River pure blood? Does it have no impurities at all? Obviously, it’s not possible, so Luo Qianqian’s actions made some sense, but... the quantity was somewhat mismatched. In the dim light, one could see the water had a color, but it was very faint, not as deep as the nearby blood bag, which made the issue of purity obvious through comparison.
Watching Luo Qianqian’s behavior, Mo and Yan were momentarily dazed. What’s the significance of doing this?
Even though blood can help fire burn, all Luo Qianqian could gather was the Water Element. The excess Fire Element would still be excluded, so there was no need to do this at all?
Moreover, with other things mixed in the water, the Water Element can easily be tainted by other things. The hardness difference between impure and pure elements isn’t something that can be described by one star level.
Luo Qianqian was extremely careful when pouring the blood, using a syringe to cautiously stir it. Even though the current situation couldn’t be seen, her spiritual power was carefully sensing the degree of mixing.
After all, only fresh blood can ignite, like how an alcohol lamp needs a certain purity to light up; aiding in combustion can only be called aiding.
She mixed for a while but still left enough fresh blood for Tang Tianyi. She didn’t want to see this person pass out again.
"Are you ready?" Tang Tianyi asked as he saw Luo Qianqian stop her hands.
Her body was tightly tensed, as if even a slight stimulus now could make her collapse.
Looking directly into those equally bright eyes in the darkness, she slowly nodded, glancing at the two people beside her: "Help me out; after the Soul Devouring Nether Fire enters the pot, help me throw the contents out, the higher and farther the better."
Yan nodded lightly, subconsciously looking towards the iron pot, but he felt a bit puzzled—if the Soul Devouring Nether Fire is indeed as rumored, how could such an ordinary iron pot resist it?
Luo Qianqian turned around, her gaze resting on the Exotic Beast lingering mid-air, her expression turning very serious, her gaze fixed on its chest.
The main difference between small and large Exotic Beasts was an additional head. Though it was very small, like a dog’s head growing out of an elephant’s body, the head was strangely shaped, without eyes, and the mouth was not even located on it, making Luo Qianqian very skeptical about what that thing was for.
As for the eyes on the Exotic Beast’s chest, they stared at Luo Qianqian as if they had already seen through her thoughts, poised to counter every move.
Looking at that thing, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of dread, swallowing hard and wiping the nonexistent cold sweat off her forehead.
"It’s okay; this thing is clearly in a weakened state," Tang Tianyi calmly explained to Luo Qianqian. "The initial Exotic Beast was obviously very weak; otherwise, attacks of that level would only hurt them. They disappeared without even defending, which is more than enough to confirm that point. The gate to the Otherworld in our country is a weak one."
"Weak???" Luo Qianqian was full of disbelief, instinctively swallowing hard again. This is weak, and if they encounter a strong one... isn’t it likely that they would have already been annihilated?
"That wouldn’t happen." As if seeing through Luo Qianqian’s thoughts, Tang Tianyi naturally answered the question in her heart. "These three days are given for them to adapt, and this period is also for us. During these three days, their unfamiliarity with the world will make them comparatively weak; after three days, they will return to their peak state. At that time, we’ll only have time to escape."
"Three days?"
Upon hearing this, cold sweat quickly appeared on Luo Qianqian’s forehead.
Even if they are facing this so-called ’weak gate,’ three days of time is not necessarily enough. If Tang Tianyi hadn’t pulled her back, it would likely be just Yan and Mo sustaining here, and after three days, maybe even...
"So this constraint isn’t just directed at us? Is it also ensuring they don’t suffer harm during this period?" Luo Qianqian asked Tang Tianyi with some doubt.
"Sort of, but I’m not an Exotic Beast, how would I know?" Tang Tianyi shrugged, raising an eyebrow at Luo Qianqian. "If you’re ready, we’ll start."
In this spatial constraint state, not to mention nature’s spiritual energy, even spiritual power can’t be restored. If not resolved early, it would leave them increasingly powerless.
Frowning tightly as she looked at the thing in the air, Luo Qianqian rubbed the back of her head before nodding affirmatively: "Let’s start!"
Saying this, she stood to the side, closed her eyes, her spiritual power surging out, floating around them, ensuring that not even a speck of dust in the air could evade Luo Qianqian’s detection.
Luo Qianqian extended both hands forward, palms up, with her five fingers slightly spread.
"Then let’s begin." Tang Tianyi took a deep breath, put the blood bag along with his hand into a glove, a black lotus flower slowly emerging. The swollen glove from the added blood bag gradually fitting snug, while Tang Tianyi’s other hand quietly guided other blood bags into the one within the glove, although the speed was slow, it was better than nothing.
He slowly placed the black lotus into the pot, making it look as if the lotus was planted inside the pot.
After performing this action, Tang Tianyi quickly sat down to adjust his breathing, removing the glove. Despite not using much of his blood this time, he still used some. His palm had slight wounds but wasn’t serious.
As soon as Mo Lian entered the water, Yan and Mo furiously whipped the long whips to send the pot skyward, and quickly enough, not just the pot but even the water and flame were nowhere to be seen.
The two looked strangely at the sky, but still saw nothing.
Luo Qianqian’s face turned extremely pale the instant the pot was thrown into the sky, even in the darkness, the ashen face like white paper devoid of any color was clearly visible. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
The sound of breaking air arose, the familiar sound causing Tang Tianyi to open his eyes, immediately followed by seeing what seemed like a meteor shower of ice arrows descending from the sky, carrying a chilling aura.
Fortunately, the area the Exotic Beast was at did not have any of their comrades.
They were defeated by the Exotic Beast’s roar before they could even get close, leaving no chance to attack.
When the Ice Stab precisely touched a hand, the black mist in the air seemed to sense some danger, rushing towards the Exotic Beast one by one, but it was all in vain, as black flames engulfed the Exotic Beast.
Luo Qianqian clearly saw the disappointment and confusion from the Exotic Beast’s chest-eye.
But in battle, it’s kill or be killed; there’s no logic for peaceful coexistence.
If she were to show mercy, what fate would billions of people face in the future? She didn’t want her name to be disgraced.
In the next second, she smiled as her eyes lost all light, collapsing.
