My Disciple Died Yet Again (200 and above)

Chapter 370: It's Definitely Not That Easy

"This daddy is a Flower Deity!" The withered grass on Nangong Cheng's suddenly leapt up, and then shook four of its branches about. "You actually compared me to those extremely ugly grass roots. How are they as handsome and suave as me?"

This voice is...

"Little Teal!?" Zhu Yao was shocked. She cast a Dirt Removal Art on it, revealing a yellow branch that looked as though it hadn't been watered for several hundred years. A flower was grown at the center of it, though its four petals were all distorted together, as though they could wilt and fall off at any moment. "You're actually a Flower Deity? There are not many spirits capable of cultivating in High Deities. You're rather incredible." The cultivation of spirits were usually quite low. This was the first time she saw one that could reach the level of a High Deity and enter the Lightning Divine Tower.

"W... Well, at least you have some... eyes." It shook about its dried plum-like leaves, and then, at the same time, folded them a little. "But, even if you praise me like that, I... I won't be really happy either."

(￢_￢)

Even though he was clearly really happy!

"Why are you back in your original form?" Zhu Yao looked at the two of them back and forth. Did you two formed a group with Mei Xue? Why are you two the only ones left here? Where are they?"

The leaf that Zhonggu Lu raised once again wilted down. Nangong Cheng had a furious look as well, as he gnashed his teeth audibly.

"Don't bring it up. My eyes were blind for mistakenly trusting those shameless people." Nangong Cheng angrily told them the events that happened after they left. "Initially, we agreed to come over to the north to search for demonic beasts with Nascent Divided Pearls in them. However, that ridiculous Mei Xue wanted to head to the depths of this dense forest, explaining that she had just obtained an ancient secret formation. She said that as long as we bring in all the demonic beasts inside the formation, we can obtain Nascent Divided Pearls without even lifting a finger. However, who knew that the so-called formation she spoke of, was actually an Extermination Formation?"

"This daddy here has lived for so long, yet I've never seen such a stupid person before." Zhonggu Lu interrupted. "That Extermination Formation is capable of exterminating all living beings, but those demonic beasts cannot be considered living beings in the first place. They are unkillable and unexterminable, their births are tied to fate itself. They are creatures without souls. The moment she unleashed the Extermination Formation, all other living beings died, leaving behind the demonic beasts. How is that seeking Nascent Divided Pearls? We're clearly seeking a beating there!"

Uhh... She certainly was not aware that this particular Mary Sue's thought process would be this surprising and fresh.

"Haah... We actually had a chance to escape." Nangong Cheng continued. "The moment the Extermination Formation activated, I realized something was amiss, and informed everyone to hurry and retreat. However that girly called Mei Xue insisted that the formation was effective, and wasn't willing to leave even if she had to die. And those squadmate of hers, every single one of them was blind as well. The moment she put it that way, all of them actually believed her. Only when the demonic beasts come chasing were they finally willing to believe that was an Extinction Formation."

"Then why were you two there?" When she discovered them earlier, there weren't presences of any other formations in the surroundings, and the place did not look as if a formation that could exterminate all living beings had been activated. This proved that they had already escaped.

"Haah..." Nangong Cheng's expression grew even uglier. "We desperately wanted to slaughter out way out. By combining the strength of all eight of us, it shouldn't have been impossible. Who knew that the female Deity Mei is merely a decoration? Forget about crying throughout the entire journey, the others even had to split some of their attentions to protect her. There were several times where we were this close to being devoured by demonic beasts, but those five people seemed to have taken the wrong medicine and all went to protect her. In the end, Brother Zhonggu Lu and I were the only ones left killing the enemies." The longer he spoke, the angrier he became as he painfully gritted his teeth. "I simply told her off a little, and then she began bursting out in tears, making a ruckus and saying things like wanting to commit suicide, not wanting to pull us down. The hell, just what kind of situation did she think we were in back then? Yet she still wanted to make a ruckus. If she wanted to cause a ruckus, then do it. Charge right into the mouth of a demonic beast and end it right there and then. Yet she still wanted to go crazy and wanted to snatch my weapon away to commit suicide using it."
