Chapter 36 It's Yours
Ye Lan was also desperate and grasping at straws. At first, she didn't care about Tao Tao and the other two at all, thinking that as long as they weren't a burden to her, that would be fine. But now, her people were either dead, injured, or had fled, and only the three of them were unharmed.
She would never ask them for help unless absolutely necessary.
But after Ye Lan shouted, Tao Tao and the other two didn't even breathe loudly, pretending not to hear, which left Ye Lan speechless.
She had no other choice at the moment. Not only was she trapped in the magic circle and unable to move, but she was also no match for the ice demon on her own. She needed someone to help her.
Since they are unwilling to come out, she can't be blamed.
Ye Lan's eyes turned cold, and she threw out an explosive talisman, which hit the dry grass where Tao Tao and the others were. The talisman exploded, forcing the three of them to flee, thus revealing themselves.
Sensing a presence behind them, the Ice Demon turned around, and an arm suddenly split off from its blurry humanoid form. The moment it raised its hand, frost pierced the air and attacked Tao Tao and the others. Song Chaofeng quickly pulled Tao Tao away to dodge, and at the same time, he summoned the Jade Ruyi to cover them inside.
But the barrier of the jade ruyi was not enough and could not stop it at all. It was broken in the blink of an eye. Song Chaofeng was anxious. He was not good at fire attacks and would be courting death if he fought the ice demon head-on.
"I'll go!" Tao Tao kicked her legs, eager to try, but Song Chaofeng quickly grabbed her, "No, you're no match for it."
"But it kept staring at me!"
Following Tao Tao's gaze, the Ice Demon was indeed staring straight at Tao Tao, looking extremely fierce, as if it regarded Tao Tao as its main target.
"Don't be impulsive. If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move either. Let's think of another way, right, Brother Linghu?" Song Chaofeng looked to the side as if pleading for help, only to find that the people there had long since disappeared. He was immediately dumbfounded. Had they run away?
Just as he was thinking this, Tao Tao had already leaped out, moving at an extremely fast speed, and Song Chaofeng didn't even have time to stop her.
"Awooo!" The Ice Demon roared, and Tao Tao followed suit with a howl, "Awooo!"
"Ow!!"
"Awoo!!"
They were practically having a shouting contest, each shout more serious than the last. Just when Song Chaofeng thought they would only shout a couple of times and wouldn't actually attack, the Ice Demon launched the first attack, sending three ice shards flying through the air. Seeing this, Tao Tao summoned the Jadeite Twin Rings to try and block them.
But before the twin rings could fly halfway into the air, they were frozen solid by frost.
"You think you're the only one who can create ice shards?" Tao Tao rolled up her sleeves and began to create hand seals with a whooshing sound. A blue ice shard hung between her palms and gradually grew larger. Seeing that the three ice shards were already close to her, Tao Tao's eyes turned cold, and she threw out the ice shard in her hand.
With a crisp "bang," the two ice shards collided forcefully, shattering into ice fragments instantly. At the same time, the ice demon seized the opportunity to get close, and a pair of hideous fleshy wings sprouted from its back. When it flapped, a biting wind mixed with frost blew, which was quite frightening.
As soon as Tao Tao looked up, she saw the ice demon approaching. She quickly retreated, took out a Flame Talisman from her storage bracelet, made a hand seal, and threw it out. The Flame Talisman exploded in the air, turning into several balls of fire that surrounded the ice demon.
"The Ice Demon is afraid of fire, Tao Tao did a great job!" Seeing that it was effective, Song Chaofeng shouted excitedly. But then Linghu Xuan, who had disappeared, suddenly said out of the blue, "The Ice Demon is no ordinary demon, and it has mutated now. Do you expect ordinary talismans to deal with it?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the Ice Demon spat out a mouthful of frost, instantly extinguishing the fire. Tao Tao wasn't in a hurry and continued to rummage through the storage bracelet. Regardless of anything else, she threw out anything related to fire, including bottles, jars, talismans, books, scrolls, and even a small dagger engraved with fire patterns. The Ice Demon was dumbfounded.
Her actions made Ye Lan want to facepalm, and she sighed while shouting, "Lure it over here, I'll deal with it."
Upon hearing Ye Lan's voice, Tao Tao felt disgusted and decisively refused, "No!"
"You, do you want to die here?" Ye Lan was furious that Tao Tao would refuse her at such a critical moment, but she really wanted the Ice Demon, so she could only try to persuade her, "You can't do anything about it, so listen to me, at least I can keep you safe."
"Tao Tao, just listen to her." Song Chaofeng also tried his best to persuade her. Safety is the most important thing. Once the Ice Demon goes berserk, it will be almost impossible for Tao Tao to escape unscathed. It's better to lead it to Ye Lan and let her handle any problems.
Although Tao Tao was still unwilling, since Song Chaofeng had already said so, she had no choice but to take out a long sword and fly towards Ye Lan's direction. The Ice Demon followed closely behind, constantly throwing out ice shards. In a fit of anger, Tao Tao also used ice shards to fight back, causing ice shards to fly everywhere.
Just then, a clear, cold voice suddenly appeared in Tao Tao's mind: "Little guy, although the Ice Demon is weak, it can still be of great use if properly trained."
"But it hit me! And it tried to eat me!"
"The Ice Demon isn't like you, eating everything. To nurture it, you need the Xuanming Pill. Also, it's not something you can just eat whenever you want, so don't get any funny ideas. If you want to subdue me, I can lend you a hand."
"Subdue?"
Tao Tao seemed to be deep in thought. In that short moment, an ice shard was already close by. Fortunately, Tao Tao reacted quickly and dodged it, but the ice shard still grazed his face, leaving a bloody mark.
"I want to tame it!" Tao Tao shouted angrily, and Bai Yan's low laughter echoed in his mind, "Alright, it's yours."
As soon as she finished speaking, a blue light flashed in Tao Tao's eyes, and a dark mark appeared between her brows, gradually brightening. At the same time, her aura began to surge, instantly transforming her into a completely different person.
"This is..." Song Chaofeng and Linghu Xuan were dumbfounded, standing there at a loss. Even Ye Lan found it unbelievable that someone's strength could suddenly increase so terrifyingly.
Tao Tao naturally had no idea what the others were thinking. She slightly raised her hand, and in an instant, hundreds of ice crystals condensed behind her. The weather changed drastically, and a vast aura surged forth, extremely terrifying. The ice demon sensed the danger and even considered turning around and fleeing.
Before it could turn around, Tao Tao clenched its right hand and unleashed hundreds of ice shards, instantly locking onto the ice demon and leaving it no way to escape.
"Woo..." The ice demon let out a whimper, and a thick layer of ice armor gradually covered its body. It knew there was no way to escape and prepared to fight to the death.
Unfortunately, Tao Tao wouldn't give it that chance. In just a moment, she appeared in front of the Ice Demon, who was ready to fight to the death. The Ice Demon was stunned and couldn't care less about anything else. It turned around and ran away, but its body was instantly controlled and it couldn't move.
"Sign a soul contract with it."
Bai Yan's voice rang in Tao Tao's mind again. She blinked her big eyes, not understanding what was happening, but the Ice Demon was already in front of her.
"Okay." Tao Tao thoughtfully stretched out his hand and placed his index finger on the Ice Demon's brow. A wisp of divine consciousness entered the Ice Demon's body, causing it to tremble incessantly.
"You, you actually intend to subdue it!?"
