Chapter 94: Ming Xiu Acts
Before entering the cave within the cave, Lou Mu Yan swept away all the Deep Orchids on the ground outside. The two Demonic Beasts were currently fighting, so they wouldnt bother with the Spiritual Herbs.
After entering the cave within the cave, what entered their sight was a colossal, azure blue Scarlet-Frost Jiao with two front claws, sweeping its tail against a giant toad before it.
The Toads reaction speed was also very fast, and with only a few leaps, it avoided the Jiaos tail sweep. The two protruding cheeks on its face expanded and shrunk, then it opened its big mouth, spraying a yellowish-brown liquid.
A series of thunder and lightning sounded, directly blasting a gap in the cave. The lightning flashes and thunder instantly struck the Scarlet-Frost Jiaos body. It just so happened that the yellow liquid also flew at it, and being unable to avoid it, the Jiaos tail was hit by the liquid, immediately corroding several bloody holes.
[HISS HISS!!] The Scarlet-Frost Jiao hissed loudly in pain, but the thunder and lightning in the air didnt restrain. Instead, it slammed down even more quickly and fiercely.
That Toad was also very cunning. Each time, before the thunder and lightning struck, it would dodge a certain distance, and used the moment the Scarlet-Frost Jiao was facing the Thunder Tribulation to spray its yellow liquid in a sneak attack.
After Ming Xiu and Lou Mu Yan entered the cave, both Demonic Beasts discovered their existence.
The Scarlet-Frost Jiao displayed joy in its eyesit had to overcome this Thunder Tribulation while dealing with the Toad, so it had absolutely no possibility of winning. With the participating of these two humans, it potentially drag it on and let itself successfully overcome the Thunder Tribulation.
Meanwhile, the Ice Toad looked at the two of them vigilantly and uttered human words: Humans, This King and this Scarlet-Frost Jiao are resolving some grudges. You can leave quickly and avoid death.
Ice Toad, what grudges do I have with you to resolve? You are just a despicable and shameless being. The Scarlet-Frost Jiao had just finished receiving a strike from the Thunder Punishment, then spoke human words, ridiculing itand its voice was actually a females.
Lou Mu Yans eyes revealed slight surpriseso it appeared that this Scarlet-Frost Jiao was a female.
Humans, get out immediately, otherwise This King will kill you all first. The Ice Toad said, looking at Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu fiercely.
Ha, just with you, a toad1? Ming Xiu chuckled, with bare disdain in his eyes.
The Ice Toad was angered, Youre looking for death. It opened his mouth, and a stinking yellowish-brown liquid spouted from its mouth, shooting directly at the two.
Ming Xiu let out a cold huff, put one hand around Lou Mu Yans waist, tapped his foot casually and easily avoided the spray of venom.
[HISS HISS!!] The intensity of the lightning grew stronger and stronger, and the Scarlet-Frost Jiao was bombarded time and again onto the ground, but each time it survived, the Jiao skin would begin to fall off, and there was even a protrusion on the top of its head.
Seeing that the Scarlet-Frost Jiao was about to pass the Thunder Tribulation and transform into a Jiao Dragon, the Ice Toad stared obscurely at a stone deep within the cave. Then it turned its head and sprayed more than ten streams of venom towards Ming Xiu and Lou Mu Yan.
Just when the Scarlet-Frost Jiao faced the Thunder Tribulation again, it suddenly made a squatting posture, and with a spring, it landed on that giant rock. It smashed the rock with one claw, and a white, fluorescent Jiao egg was exposed.
You dare! The Scarlet-Frost Jiao, who was receiving the Thunder Tribulation, yelled when it saw that the Toads target was indeed the Jiao egg that she birthed. It turned around, forgoing the Thunder Tribulation, and opened its mouth to bite towards the Toad, allowing the rolling Thunder Tribulation to land directly on its body.
[HISS HISS!!] Because she removed a part of her energy in order to attack the Toad, the Scarlet-Frost Jiao was struck by the Thunder Tribulation, and a large bloody hole was torn in its Jiao body. But it still endured the pain and ferociously bit towards the Toad.
This was a mother. Even if it failed to pass the Thunder Tribulation, it must protect the safety of the child that she birthed.
The Ice Toad had long expected it to be like this, so it grabbed the Jiao egg with its claws and made a pose as if to throw the egg, Scarlet-Frost Jiao, if you dare bite down, then This King will shatter the egg. The little Jiao in this egg hasnt fully formed yet, so this fall will undoubtedly kill it. You better think about it clearly.
Ice Toad, youre despicable. The Scarlet-Frost Jiao retrieved the mouth it was about to bite down with and raised its head, wailing in agony.
Then the last Thunder Tribulation struck its head, and blood flowed down its giant head.
Because it was not in the mood to receive the previous two Thunder Tribulations and withdrew her power to deal with the Toad, its Demonic Crystal was bombarded by the Thunder Tribulation until it was exceptionally dim. For the last Thunder Tribulation, it didnt use its all to withstand it either, so it also heralded the failing of the Thunder Tribulation.
Lou Mu Yan watched the Scarlet-Frost Jiao who had failed the Thunder Tribulation, its whole body scorched black by the thunder and lightning, weak, and yet it still pushed itself to block the Ice Toad from exiting the cave.
Leave the Jiao egg, otherwise we die together. The Scarlet-Frost Jiao had failed to pass the Tribulation, so its life was slowly waning, and it wasnt left with much time. Its eyes were fierce, planning to die with the Toad.
The Ice Toad croaked a few times and said with a sinister smile: You still want to stop This King, being practically half-dead, you truly are dreaming. After This King refines this Jiao egg, This King can pass the Tribulation and transform, which can be considered fulfilling your wish.
[HISS HISS!!] The Scarlet-Frost Jiao looked at the smooth, white egg reluctantly, then quickly burned the Demonic Energy within its body. It would rather explode and die with the Ice Toad than see its child being refined.
Looking at the scene in front of her, Lou Mu Yan felt a little touched. The act of the Scarlet-Frost Jiao rather giving up passing the Tribulation to protect its Jiao egg made it so that she simply couldnt stand by and watch.
Ming Xiu, lets kill that Toad. If that despicable and shameless Demonic Beast really successfully passes the Tribulation and transforms, it would be a great calamity.
Ming Xiu also extremely despised the Ice Toads behaviour of stealing the egg while the Scarlet-Frost Jiao was receiving the Tribulation, so he nodded: Alright!
The Ice Toad sneered at the conversation between the two of them. It had never placed any importance on either of the two humans at all, so now it was as if he had heard the funniest joke. The two people actually wanted to kill itthey truly were indulging in the wildest fantasy.
Those who block me die. The Ice Toad roared. Its body suddenly grew several times larger, and the pattern on its body grew deeper.
It opened its mouth wide, and another mouthful of yellowish-brown liquid sprayed out. Except this time, it wasnt a stream of liquid, but instead countless shattered drops, attacking Ming Xiu and Lou Mu Yan.
Ming Xius eyes grew colder. A fiery red shield rose from his hand and grew in size, blocking the liquid outside.
He placed Lou Mu Yan in a place far from the battle location, and, holding a giant golden sword, he slashed down in the air. A violent Elemental Energy Sword Aura flew out, slashing straight towards the Toad.
The Toads eyes revealed some shock. Obviously, it didnt expect this human to emit such a powerful Sword Aura. It mobilised the Demonic Energy within it, mixed it with venom, and sprayed out a yellow beam of light to directly greet the golden Sword Aura.
[BOOM BOOM!!] The energy released by the one human one beast exploded within the cave. The cave shook constantly, and countless rubble fell.
After the dust dissipated, the remaining yellow beam of light was blocked by Ming Xius fiery red shield, then disappeared completely, while the golden Sword Aura chopped off one of its front legs.
[CROAK CROAK!!] There was slight fear in the Ice Toads eyes. It didnt expect that this quiet human actually hid his cultivation base. His strength was a major level above itself. So it grabbed the Jiao egg, mobilised its Demonic Energy and wanted to eject itself out from the cave entrance.
Put down the Jiao egg. The weak and dissociating Scarlet-Frost Jiao that was burning its Demonic Energy instantly let out a burst of energy. Its Jiao tail swept violently, and the Toad that was approaching the entrance of the cave was heavily shot down onto the cave wall opposite.
But it also seemed to have exhausted all its strength as its entire Jiao body collapsed to the ground, only barely maintaining its last breaths to stare, intensely, at the Jiao egg in the Toads claws.

1in Chinese, author used a more colloquial version of toad ( lihm), but theres no real equivalent to that in English. However, toad can also be slang for a contemptible person or thing in English, which is basically what theyre saying in Chinese too. And random note: This Chinese word is the word used in the very popular saying you see in cultivation novels: a toad lusting for swan meat XD ( Lihm xing ch tin ru).
