Chapter 11

Tang Yan was no savior, and he certainly wouldn't do anything without a plan. After a brief moment, he took advantage of the white-robed figure not noticing him and carefully left.

But halfway through, he suddenly heard a mournful cry: "Mentor Ailinda! No..."

Plop plop! The sharp curved blade left two deep wounds on Ailinda's body, the blade enveloped in a thick white mist that clung to the wounds, producing a strong corrosive effect, mercilessly devouring Ailinda's flesh and... protective spiritual energy!

Ailinda's delicate face was taut as she fought back with all her might. Cold light flashed around her, dense ice crystals shot out in rapid succession, forming a miniature storm that guarded her and continuously attacked. But her body was already covered in wounds, the thin mist firmly adhering to them, not only preventing the wounds from healing but also devouring her internal spiritual energy.

She had reached her limit!

The white-robed woman said coldly, "Finish it quickly, no more dawdling."

"Snowfall! Ice Seal!" The two white-robed figures suddenly retreated over ten meters, their arms suddenly spreading wide. With a roar, the white mist around them surged rapidly, quickly enveloping Ailinda.

The white mist gathered, condensing into snow, which fell from the depths of the mist.

Ailinda was covered in blood, panting heavily, and on full alert. But before she could counterattack again, the falling snow began to form crystalline white ice on her skin, then... silently penetrated into her body.

Ah!! Ailinda suddenly screamed in agony, the ice crystals were freezing her muscles and bones.

The graceful woman remained expressionless: "I've always admired you, but... what a pity..."

"You are..." At this moment, Ailinda suddenly felt this voice was familiar, but the snow was falling faster, the ice crystals penetrating one after another, the pain spreading throughout her body. Ailinda was cold all over, her face turning blue, and she stiffened in place.

The graceful white-robed woman walked towards Ailinda, her sharp eyes devoid of human emotion: "Mentor Ailinda, we have no intention of being enemies with the Giant Elephant Academy. You brought this upon yourself, don't blame others. But you can rest assured, this matter is only aimed at these children and will not involve the Giant Elephant Academy, on the condition that... they don't seek trouble."

"You... what do you... want..." The snow continued to fall, silently enveloping Ailinda's body and penetrating inside, as if trying to freeze her body and soul completely.

Pain! Bone-chilling pain!

"We just want some children who are about to receive the baptism, the rest has nothing to do with you." The white-robed woman played with a small dagger in her right hand.

"Don't, don't kill Mentor Ailinda, please, don't kill Mentor Ailinda." Tang Ying's face was streaked with tears, begging desperately, her eyes filled with despair.

Ailinda was on the verge of death, closing her eyes in despair, wanting to struggle but unable to, her consciousness becoming sluggish.

"Prepare the fire talisman, burn the body completely." The white-robed woman's right hand trembled, and the delicate dagger aimed straight for Ailinda's forehead.

At the critical moment, a roar suddenly echoed through the treetops!

"Annihilation!" A black light filled with evil and violent energy arrived in an instant, intercepting the dagger in mid-air with a sharp clang, sending it flying.

At the same time, a fierce figure broke through the branches, spinning through the air, and kicked directly at the white-robed woman.

The white-robed woman's eyebrows furrowed, easily dodging, and when she saw who it was, she was slightly surprised: "It's you? You're not dead?"

"Even if I die, I'll die on your belly!" Tang Yan growled, charging forward, his right hand swinging, a lightning talisman card aimed at the white-robed woman.

Boom!! The card exploded, wild lightning instantly filling a ten-meter radius, its power comparable to a desperate strike from a martial spirit, truly overwhelming.

The white-robed woman never expected Tang Yan to have a defensive talisman from her organization. Caught off guard, she was instantly entangled by the lightning, the wild electric power ravaging her body, causing her to scream in agony.

"What are you waiting for, run!" Tang Yan's expression was fierce, shouting at Tang Ying. Without waiting for the lightning to completely dissipate, he charged in, enduring the lightning's assault, his fists glowing with green flames, striking wildly, releasing his hard-earned combat skills from his past life.

Punches, elbow strikes, kicks, roundhouse kicks, shoulder throws—wild and fierce!

The green flames lingering on the white-robed woman's clothes burned through, intensifying her shock and fear.

"Tang... Tang Yan..." Tang Ying didn't 'listen,' instead standing there, staring at the figure in the lightning, as if in a dream.

"Brat, get out of my way!" In just a few seconds, the white-robed woman endured the pain, her spiritual energy surging, the thick white mist rolling, generating a terrifying impact force, not only resisting the lightning but also sending Tang Yan flying seven or eight meters, spitting out a mouthful of blood in mid-air.

Clearly, he was severely injured.

But... Tang Yan didn't stop. His battered body hit the ground and bounced back up, his right hand swinging, the last lightning talisman card aimed at the white-robed figure, the wild lightning instantly enveloping her, the terrifying power tearing apart the gray mist and chains.

"Die, all of you!!" Tang Yan's mouth was full of blood, but his expression was as fierce as a demon, charging into the dust and lightning, the lightning still raging, screams echoing, and flashes of green light flickering.

At this moment, he was like a mad beast!

But soon, a furious roar echoed through the dust, accompanied by a silent impact, a figure was thrown out, crashing into Ailinda nearby, both rolling away.

"Tang Yan? It's really Tang Yan!" Tang Ying was dumbfounded, her mouth agape, looking at the man struggling to stand, his body charred and clothes tattered, with numerous wounds from the lightning, almost bleeding all over, but... his young face was full of stubbornness and madness, like a beast ready to pounce.

Ailinda lay weakly on the ground, unable to struggle, staring at the swaying figure in front of her, also dazed.

This... is Tang Yan?? She never imagined that the one to save her in this life-or-death situation would be Tang Yan, the arrogant young master she had always ignored and somewhat disliked!

But... is he a martial master?

"Brat, do you really want to die!" The white-robed woman dispelled the lightning and flames, looking equally disheveled, her sharp eyes blazing with fury.

A martial patriarch, being tricked by a martial master, if this got out, how could she stand in the organization!

Tang Yan spat out a mouthful of blood, chuckling: "Feels good, right? If you haven't had enough, I can continue, don't worry, it's free, no charge."

"Sharp-tongued, kill him!" The white-robed woman's expression turned cold.

"I'll make you wish you were dead." The other man, still dealing with the remaining green flames, walked towards Tang Yan, his expression as fierce as a demon.

"Tang Yan, you idiot, run!" Tang Ying suddenly screamed, jumping up.

"Shut up!" The white-robed woman's expression turned cold, slapping Tang Ying several meters away, her delicate face swelling like a bun, her consciousness dazed.

"Actually... hehe... that was a mistake... I came to apologize." Tang Yan's fierce expression suddenly turned into a smile, quickly taking out the snake egg, which was now covered in cracks, life energy seeping out.

The sudden change in attitude left everyone a bit off-balance.

"Hmm? This is..." Sensing the dense life energy, the white-robed woman and the other two white-robed figures were visibly moved, their steps pausing.

"Here, take the egg, calm down, let's talk things out. We're all cultured and civilized people, shouting and fighting isn't good." Tang Yan raised his hands to show he meant no harm, holding the snake egg in front of him. Taking advantage of their focus on the egg, he slowly returned to Ailinda's side, using his eyes to signal Tang Ying to come over.

Tang Ying was still in shock but covered her swollen face and ran over. "How did you..."

"Shut up."

"You..."

The white-robed woman signaled the uninjured white-robed figure to watch Tang Yan, while she approached the snake egg, gently cracking it open. Immediately, a surge of life essence poured out, mixed with a faint evil roar, a phantom snake appearing in the jade-like eggshell.

"A four-winged scale python's egg?" The white-robed woman gasped, her eyes shining with excitement.

"Such dense life essence." The other white-robed figure took a deep breath, closing his eyes in enjoyment, as if his injuries were easing.

"A four-winged scale python! A peak fifth-level demon beast!" The white-robed figure watching Tang Yan was also moved.

"How about it? The egg is yours, the people I take away." Tang Yan helped Ailinda up, intentionally or unintentionally touching her chest, inwardly feeling satisfied!!

Ailinda's body trembled, glaring at Tang Yan, but seeing his serious and cautious expression, it seemed he wasn't being intentional. Considering the special situation, she didn't have the heart to argue.

"I'll take the egg, but the people stay." The white-robed woman quickly regained her composure, signaling her subordinates to take the egg, her eyes coldly watching Tang Yan and Ailinda.

"How many?"

"All of them."

"Let's make a deal, this little girl is yours, she's mine." Tang Yan said with a grin.

"You..." Tang Ying was almost in tears, feeling deeply wronged, and Ailinda was also furious. What did he mean by 'mine'? This brat was treating her like an object?

"You're not big, but your lust is." The white-robed woman looked at Tang Yan with a hint of amusement, but her expression turned cold the next second: "No more nonsense, kill the rest except the girl!"

"Wait! I have something to say, we seem to know each other."

"Hmm?"

"I feel like I know you." Tang Yan feigned seriousness, his eyes scanning the woman, focusing on a few special areas, nodding as if satisfied with her figure.

"He's stalling, kill him!"

The two white-robed figures gathered their spiritual energy, the thick white mist surging towards them.

"Wait! Look..." Tang Yan pointed to the sky, shouting loudly.

"Who would believe you, kill!" The white-robed woman shouted, the two white-robed figures moving, enveloping them in the thick white mist.

But...

Roar!! A roar echoed through the sky, like a tiger's roar or a dragon's cry, shaking the wilderness, filled with intense violence and resentment. Instantly, dark clouds gathered in the sky, lightning rolling, a massive black shadow descending, stirring up a cloud of dust, landing in front of them with a thunderous crash.

"A four-winged scale python?" The white-robed woman gasped, staring in horror at the massive creature.

Ailinda and the others were stunned, staring at the suddenly appearing demon beast, feeling a shiver of fear in their souls under its blood-red eyes.

The four-winged scale python was covered in a thick aura of killing intent, having just experienced a fierce battle, with many scales missing and numerous wounds, one wing even broken. Despite its terrible appearance, its aura was even more terrifying and ferocious.

"Go, go, go, what are you waiting for!" Tang Yan pinched Ailinda's buttocks.

"Little brat, where are you touching!" Ailinda almost screamed.

Tang Yan paid no attention, enduring his injuries, carrying Ailinda and carefully retreating. The four-winged scale python was staring at the white-robed woman, or perhaps the shattered egg in front of her, ignoring Tang Yan and the others.

The white-robed woman felt the four-winged scale python's anger and killing intent, looking at the shattered egg on the ground, suddenly understanding, screaming in rage: "Little brat, I'll tear you apart!"
