Chapter 337 Strength in numbers
At this time, Lin Qingyao also seized the opportunity and threw out another thunder talisman. The thunder talisman turned into a dazzling lightning in the air and struck Taotie's head directly.
At the moment the lightning exploded, Taotie let out a shrill howl, and its huge body tumbled violently in the cave.
The collision caused the surrounding stone pillars to collapse one after another.
Taotie shook its huge head in pain, as if it was temporarily paralyzed by the power of thunder and lightning.
But its body was still strong, and its roar was mixed with tremendous anger. Obviously, it was not really seriously injured by the thunder magic.
"This monster is so troublesome!" Lin Qingyao gasped for breath. The thunder talisman she just used was one of the strongest attacks she could perform for the time being, but the effect was still not as good as expected.
After being enraged, Taotie became even more violent. It jumped up and pounced towards Lin Qingyao at a speed so fast that it was difficult for people to react.
At this critical moment, Chen Yile's eyes focused, his hands quickly formed seals, and he whispered: "One Qi becomes the Three Pure Ones!"
Before he finished speaking, his figure instantly became blurred, as if wrapped in an invisible airflow.
Immediately afterwards, his body split into three, and three identical Chen Yile appeared in the cave at the same time, each emitting a strong Taoist aura.
"Clone?!" Lin Feihong exclaimed. Although he knew that Chen Yile's Taoism was unfathomable, he had never seen such advanced magic.
"The Three Pure Ones' Taoism, the unity of heaven and earth!" Chen Yile's three clones drew their swords at the same time and turned into three streams of light.
They attacked Taotie's head, chest and hind legs respectively.
Although Taotie was extremely powerful, it was obviously unable to cope with Chen Yile's triple attack.
It could only hastily use its front paws to protect its head, but was unable to stop the other two sword lights.
"Swish!" The Tianshi Sword, with a faint golden light, slashed on the scales on Taotie's chest, finally leaving a deep scar.
Taotie roared in pain and waved his limbs angrily, trying to fight back.
But Chen Yile's three clones moved quickly and continued to attack without mercy.
At the same time, Lin Feihong and Lin Qingyao were not idle either.
Lin Feihong once again used the Thunder Method, quickly forming seals with his hands, and silently chanted: "The power of thunder, as fast as a storm, break!"
He raised the black iron dagger in his hand high, and the runes on the dagger flashed with strong lightning.
In an instant, a thick bolt of lightning fell from the sky and struck Taotie's back.
"Boom!" The moment the lightning hit Taotie, Taotie's body trembled violently and the movements of his limbs suddenly stopped.
It struggled painfully, trying to break free from the restraints of thunder and lightning.
Lin Feihong's thunder magic is incredibly powerful. Even the Taotie, who has extremely strong defense, cannot easily withstand the power of thunder.
A burst of charred smoke came out of Taotie's back, and its scales were burned by lightning, emitting a burnt smell.
"Now is the best chance!" Lin Qingyao seized this brief opportunity and held the last talisman tightly in her hand.
He bit his fingertip and used the blood as a guide to quickly write complex Taoist patterns on the talisman.
A glint of determination flashed in her eyes, "Blood Talisman, break!"
As her voice fell, the talisman turned into a scarlet beam of light in the air, shooting straight towards Taotie's chest.
That was the wound that Chen Yile had cut before. The blood rune was extremely precise and instantly merged into the wound, bursting out with astonishing power.
Taotie roared violently, its body shaking violently, as if it was fighting against the power of the blood talisman.
But as time went by, its movements gradually slowed down, and its huge body seemed to lose its strength and slowly fell down.
"Success!" Lin Feihong shouted happily. Taotie finally stopped struggling and fell to the ground.
However, Chen Yile did not relax his vigilance. His three clones slowly merged into one and returned to their original form. He stared at the fallen Taotie with a serious expression.
"Everyone be careful, its aura hasn't completely disappeared yet!"
Sure enough, although Taotie had fallen to the ground, its body was still trembling slightly, as if it had not completely lost its vitality.
Suddenly, its mouth opened suddenly and a black miasma gushed out of its mouth.
With extremely strong corrosiveness, it quickly spread throughout the entire cave.
"Oh no, this thing wants to drag us down with it before it dies!" Lin Qingyao was shocked and immediately took out the amulet, ready to resist the erosion of miasma.
"Step back!" Chen Yile made a prompt decision, stepped lightly, and swung his sword quickly, slashing out a ray of golden light.
Golden light formed a barrier in the air, blocking most of the miasma.
However, the miasma of Taotie was so strong that the golden barrier began to be gradually eroded.
"We have to leave here quickly!" Lin Feihong immediately suggested upon seeing this.
Chen Yile nodded, he knew that staying here would only put him in greater danger.
"Go!" He gave the order decisively, and the three of them quickly retreated out of the cave.
Just as they were about to leave the cave, Taotie's body suddenly shook, and it let out a final roar before completely turning into a ball of black mist and disappearing into the air.
The three of them stood outside the cave, watching the Taotie completely disappear, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Qingyao wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve and said breathlessly, "Finally... it's solved."
"It's not that simple." Chen Yile frowned. He still felt a faint sense of oppression.
It seems as if some deeper danger is lurking somewhere in this underground world.
"We have to continue investigating. The secrets of this place are far more than just a Taotie."
Chen Yile's eyes were deep, and he gripped the Tianshi Sword tightly, as if he had a premonition that a greater crisis was approaching.
Lin Feihong and Lin Qingyao looked at each other, even though they had just experienced a life-and-death struggle.
But fortunately, everyone’s condition is not too bad and we can still move forward.
Just when the three of them breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to explore further into the depths of the cave.
The air suddenly became icy cold, as if a chill from the underworld was slowly spreading.
The dim light in the cave gradually became distorted, as if eroded by some unknown force.
"This cold and gloomy energy...is not good!" Chen Yile's expression changed, he gripped the Tianshi Sword tightly, and spoke in a serious tone.
Lin Feihong and Lin Qingyao also noticed the strange atmosphere around them and immediately became alert.
Something seemed to be awakening in the air, and an extremely strong yin energy slowly emerged from the depths of the cave, carrying the breath of death.
Suddenly, a low roar came from the deepest part of the cave, like the wailing of evil spirits crawling up from the bottom of hell.
"What is that?" A trace of fear flashed in Lin Qingyao's eyes. She felt that the air around her seemed to be solidified and she could not move.
A hazy black shadow slowly emerged from the depths of the cave, followed by a huge body that gradually revealed itself.
Its body seemed to be made of black mist and carried a rotten stench.
The most shocking thing is that it has five ferocious heads, and the eyes of each head emit a blood-red light, as if they can see through the soul.
