The Ace Bodyguard

Although Lver was unwilling and did not want to die, she felt that Wang Xiao's words were reasonable. Wang Xiao was right, since heaven's will was already determined to be like this, then what could she do, heaven's will was not something that a human could be a match for.    

    

"Idiot, can you promise me one thing?" Lver said anxiously.    

    

"What is it?" Wang Xiao asked.    

    

At this time, if there was anything else Lver needed to do, the two of them would definitely die. Furthermore, Wang Xiao was currently unable to protect himself, and could die under the attacks of the Taotie anytime, so he could not do anything for Lver.    

    

Lver said to Wang Xiao: "Idiot, if you die, don't go too fast on the path to the Yellow Springs. You must wait for me, or else I'll be scared."    

    

He never thought that Lver's imagination could be so plentiful. He actually thought of being afraid of being alone on the Road to River Styx after death, so he told Wang Xiao not to go too fast. Actually, no one knew if there really was a path to the underworld or if there really was a underworld. It was probably just a legend; people died like smoke, there was no such thing as reincarnation.    

    

"Lver, don't worry. I will definitely wait for you." Wang Xiao said.    

    

Ka-cha! *    

    

Ka-cha! *    

    

Through the cracks, Wang Xiao and Lver could vaguely see the Taotie's body. But because the Taotie's body was still inside the crack, they could not see its entire body, and could only faintly make out the black body of the Taotie, which was like a Qilin's body.    

    

The two could only watch as the Taotie struggled nonstop, and walked out of the suppression zone. Besides watching the Taotie do this, Wang Xiao and Lver had no other choice. With the strength of the two of them, not to mention dealing with the Taotie, even a casual roar from the Taotie would cause the two of them to lose their minds.    

    

The Divine Monarch was really something, why didn't they directly exterminate the savage Taotie before, and instead wanted to keep it. Just when Wang Xiao and Lver both thought that they were definitely going to die, on the cliff of the huge mountain, mysterious patterns suddenly appeared.    

    

Crash! *    

    

That mysterious pattern was like a nebula in the Milky Way, revolving and emitting a mysterious and powerful sacred art. Following the appearance of this secret pattern, the cracked mountain wall gradually merged and quickly recovered. Could it be that this was a sacred art that suppressed Taotie?    

    

Wang Xiao guessed that it must be, otherwise, just this large mountain alone would not be able to suppress the ferocious Taotie.    

    

When the mysterious pattern appeared, the Taotie revealed a look of unwillingness and struggled in pain, because it had been sealed here for over ten thousand of years, it was unable to escape. The mysterious pattern and the mysterious pattern fought against each other, and the berserk Genuine Qi aura also came surging over in an earth-shattering manner.    

    

However, Wang Xiao realized that there was a problem. Under the struggles of the Taotie, cracks had actually appeared on the powerful secret pattern, as if it could break at any time. Could it be that this secret imprint was unable to suppress the Taotie? Or could it be that in the span of tens of thousands of years, this powerful secret imprint had already lost its power back then?    

    

This secret pattern must have been laid down by the Divine Monarch years ago. However, as time passed, because the secret pattern could not be repaired by the Divine Monarch's Genuine Qi and was not supplied to it, its power continued to decrease. No matter how powerful the formation technique was, it still required new energy.    

    

However, the Divine Monarch had already passed away for tens of thousands of years, he could not revive again.    

    

The Taotie, on the other hand, was a living Vicious Beast. It had struggled continuously for the past ten thousand years and had always been resisting the energy of the Secret Pattern Array. Although the Taotie had not been able to escape from the suppression of this powerful secret technique for countless of years, it had resisted time and time again, and the suppression power had become smaller and smaller.    

    

The Divine Monarch was indeed amazing, to be able to suppress the Taotie for more than ten thousand years. Even after ten thousand years, the array he painstakingly set up, the Taotie still could not break out of the seal. However, Wang Xiao was very clear that this powerful and fearsome Taotie, this extremely vicious Taotie would at most take three to five years, or even more than ten years time to charge out and suppress them.    

    

While the Taotie was struggling unwillingly, its blood-red eyes were also fixated on Wang Xiao and Lver, as if it really wanted to struggle out of them and eat them.    

    

Seeing the Taotie's blood-red eyes looking at him and Lver, Wang Xiao thought, the one who suppressed you was not me, but the Divine Monarch. If you want revenge, you should go and find the Divine Monarch, what does it have to do with me. But he knew, even if he said those words to the Taotie, it would be useless, because this beast only wanted to treat him and Lver as food.    

    

Following the appearance of the secret pattern, the Taotie was gradually about to be suppressed back.    

    

Roar!    

    

In his unwillingness and anger, the Taotie let out a furious roar. Perhaps it was because it was about to break out of the seal, but it was about to fail and it was about to continue to be suppressed. So in its unwillingness, the Taotie let out its last low roar.    

    

Not good!    

    

Wang Xiao's expression changed greatly, his expression extremely ugly. He had once thought that in the valleys of the outside world, the low roars of Taotie s would be able to kill that many people despite being separated by a single Small Space. But at this time, him and Lver were right in front of the Taotie, and they were definitely going to die.    

    

After the voice sounded, Wang Xiao and Lver only felt a sharp pain in their souls, as if their souls were about to shatter at any moment. The pain of his soul far surpassed the pain of his body. This kind of pain was not something that an ordinary person could endure. Even an expert like Guang Yuanzi would not be able to endure this kind of pain.    

    

Wang Xiao and Lver's faces twisted and turned sinister. The two of them wanted to cover their ears, but they were unable to move.    

    

A kind of pain that could destroy rotten wood, like a storm, crazily swept into Wang Xiao's and his body. Even if the two of them used the powerful Genuine Qi s in their bodies to resist, under that devastating attack, all of the Genuine Qi s resisting the two of them shattered like glass.    

    

Wang Xiao could clearly see that Lver's face was extremely ugly, pale and distorted. In fact, his current situation was even worse than Lver's. Her soul was on the verge of breaking, and even Wang Xiao was not willing to give up.    

    

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!    

    

Just when Wang Xiao and Lver were in a life and death crisis, and their souls were about to break, a 'buzzing' sound came out, and then a red light suddenly appeared, protecting Wang Xiao and Lver inside. Not only that, the red light actually suppressed the cries of the Taotie, and forced them to retreat.    

    

This!    

    

Wang Xiao was so shocked that he could not say anything. What was going on, what was this red light, why did it suddenly appear? He felt that the red dagger was burning hot and was trembling slightly. After he noticed the change in the red dagger, Wang Xiao understood.    

    

It was definitely the powerful energy emitted by the red dagger that protected him and Lver. Ever since he had obtained the red dagger, Wang Xiao had only seen two changes in the dagger. Previously, when he had obtained the dagger, he thought that the dagger was only very sharp, but he never thought that it was actually a Divine Artifact.    

    

She remembered that the first change in the dagger was when Wang Xiao was fighting against an assassin. The assassin was sent by Zhang Wei and the enemy was not very strong.    

    

In a situation where the opponent was not a match for Wang Xiao, he had quietly used the remnant thread, causing Wang Xiao to be unable to struggle free. Fortunately, at the critical moment, the red dagger released an unfathomably bright light. And the second change was today. It was under the low roars of the Taotie, under the situation where Wang Xiao and Lver were definitely going to die, the dagger had actually discovered the change.    

    

When the red light appeared, Wang Xiao and Lver could move freely.    

    

Lver looked at the red light in shock. Perhaps she could not understand why this red light would suddenly appear. But all of these were not important, what was important was that after the red light appeared, she and Wang Xiao could continue escaping for their lives, and had a chance of survival.    

    

Go!    

    

Wang Xiao grabbed Lver's hand, and quickly ran forward, towards the passageway. He did not have the time to explain this to Lver, and regarding the secret of the dagger, Wang Xiao did not want to tell anyone else.    

    

Lver was originally in a state of shock, but was directly pulled back by Wang Xiao to escape. In such a life-threatening situation, her reaction was still worse than Wang Xiao's.    

    

The red light continued to contend with the Taotie's growls, suppressing it back down. If there was an expert controlling the dagger and providing it with an endless amount of energy, it was possible that the dagger would be even more powerful.    

    

When the Taotie saw that Wang Xiao and Lver actually wanted to escape, it was even more furious and irritable. As long as it took a fancy to food, there was no way it could escape. It wanted to be like ten thousand years ago, after eating countless people and eating practically all the people in a country. If it did not have the appearance of the Divine Monarch, it would not have hesitated in the Wasteland.    

    

Boom!    

    

The Taotie opened its mouth, and a ray of pitch black light, like a small sun, quickly rushed towards Wang Xiao and Lver. The light was extremely powerful, the sky was dark, and the sun and moon were without light.    

    

That black light, was like a huge being in the universe, as it lost its gravitational force and swiftly struck another planet. Facing the powerful incoming light, Wang Xiao and Lver felt that they would be shattered into pieces at any time.    

    

That black light, just from emitting that black light, had already surpassed the physical endurance of Wang Xiao and Lver. If an attack were to land on the two of them, it would be as if a person was tied to an atomic bomb and they would explode, with not even a speck of dust to be found.    

    

In his desperation, Wang Xiao grabbed the red dagger and quickly pushed Lver away.    

    

"Lver, leave quickly."    

    

Wang Xiao held the red dagger in one hand and quickly pushed Lver a distance of over ten meters away with his other hand. At this moment, Wang Xiao felt like he could use a red dagger, he could finally control this mysterious dagger. He had thought of many methods in the past, as well as countless of experiments, but all of them ended in failure, and he was unable to control this red dagger. However, he did not expect that he would be able to control the red dagger under the threat of the Taotie.    

    

Stupid!    

    

After Lver pushed her more than ten meters away, she anxiously called out. Because she knew that Wang Xiao wanted to save her. In this kind of situation where there was a slim chance of survival, Wang Xiao was actually still thinking about her safety.    

    

Stupid!    

    

"… …"    

    

Lver screamed a few times, then quickly ran towards Wang Xiao. Although she knew that she was dead meat, although she knew, even if she and Wang Xiao were to work together, she would still not be a match for the Taotie, but she could not just watch Wang Xiao die, she, Sara, was not a person who feared death.
