Dashing Student-Chapter 1227: Spirit Beast’s Meritorious Service

Chapter 1227: Chapter 1227: Spirit Beast’s Meritorious Service

The place where Luo Tuo was bitten by the King of Ten Thousand Gu turned black, and the taint began to spread over the entire arm, rendering it numb.

Not to mention a cultivator at the Golden Core Realm Fifth Layer, even someone at the Golden Core Realm Perfection couldn’t resist such fierce poison.

So, he wasn’t necessarily thinking about killing Li Songnian and the others but was more focused on finding a place to detoxify himself. Given his strength, even if Li Songnian and the others joined forces, they would be no match for him.

Unfortunately, just as he crashed through the rooftop to escape, a fist rapidly expanded in his pupils, ultimately landing squarely on his chest.

"If I let you run, my little disciple would be heartbroken, so why don’t you just stay put!"

In an instant, Luo Tuo felt a tremendous force permeate his being, shattering his bones, forcing a mouthful of blood to spew out uncontrollably.

With a crash, Luo Tuo smashed back through the roof, returning to the room, his body slamming heavily into the ground, creating a large crater.

"It’s you! Did you plan all of this?"

He clutched his chest, glaring at Chen Nan in the sky, eyes full of venomous hatred. Just one punch left him reeling.

Moreover, the poison continued to spread inside him, rendering his mana unusable and his cultivation severely diminished; things couldn’t get any worse.

Chen Nan brandished the Sword Chenyuan, with the blade burning with black Mo Ying Flame, and then hurled it ferociously. The sword’s formidable power caused it to screech against the air.

Luo Tuo’s heart sank, dodging quickly, yet the blade still grazed him, leaving a deep wound down to the bone.

"You’ve gone too far; do you really think I’ve been idle all these years?"

Just as he was about to act, he was horrified to realize his body wouldn’t move, as if countless threads wrapped around him.

Turns out the Mo Ying Flame had landed on his shadow, pinning it to the ground like a nail.

Chen Nan leaped down from the rooftop, executing the Dragon Elephant Form, a massive dragon elephant phantom appearing in the void behind him, emanating overwhelming power.

Another punch was thrown, and the roar of the dragon elephant seemed to fill everyone’s ears, an immense force pouring out like a flood, sending Luo Tuo’s body flying through the walls of the Island Master Mansion, stopping only after being flung several hundred yards away.

The crackling sound was clearly heard by all, that was the sound of Luo Tuo’s Golden Core shattering.

At this moment, Luo Tuo felt as though his body was being crushed; the poison spread throughout his entire body, causing unbearable burning pain.

Cracks appeared on the Golden Core, and he could sense that it might shatter at any moment.

Before Luo Tuo could stand up, he felt a kick to the face, as it was Li Songnian who kicked over, knocking out several of his teeth.

Then Gao Xue and the others swarmed over, venting all their hatred and anger from these years, not even using their mana for fear of accidentally killing him.

"Luo Tuo, when you killed Zhong Fei, did you ever anticipate this day?"

Li Songnian looked at Luo Tuo, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog, finally venting most of his pent-up frustration.

Luo Tuo struggled to open his swollen eyes, his body trembling as he turned over, kneeling on the ground: "I was wrong, I know I was wrong..."

"The one you should apologize to most isn’t us." Gao Xue snorted coldly and stepped aside.

Not far away, Zhong Ling walked step by step toward Luo Tuo, looking down at him with eyes filled with hatred.

"Luo Tuo, do you remember me?"

Luo Tuo lifted his head, as the figure of Zhong Ling gradually overlapped with his memory of Zhong Fei, filling him with a sense of dread.

"It’s you, you’ve come back for revenge... Zhong Ling, I’m horribly guilty, please kill me..."

He suddenly threw himself at Zhong Ling’s feet, but no one noticed the glint of malice in his swollen eyes.

"Did you think I would let you go? All these years, whenever I close my eyes, I recall the scene of my mother dying in front of me, wishing I could cut you into a thousand pieces!" Zhong Ling cried, her body shaking slightly.

But at that moment, Luo Tuo suddenly sprang up, swallowing an elixir pill, and his exhausted body instantly regained vitality, even making him seem oblivious to the poison’s corrosion.

Mana surged from his fingertips, forming a transparent stream binding Zhong Ling’s throat like a rope, while Shi Zhongsheng, originally perched on Zhong Ling’s shoulder, he grabbed and threw to the ground.

He retreated continuously, even as the poison devoured his life, he sought a desperate escape.

"Stay back, or I’ll kill her!"

Gao Xue’s eyes were icy: "Luo Tuo, you really have a stubborn heart, today you’re dead no matter what!"

"Then I’ll take Zhong Ling with me!" Luo Tuo burst into manic laughter: "As far as I know, she’s Zhong Fei’s only bloodline, right? Look, now she’ll accompany me in death."

Li Songnian and the others were furious, regretting not having killed Luo Tuo earlier.

"Don’t hurt her, we’ll let you go," Gao Xue couldn’t bear to watch Zhong Ling die, thus agreeing to Luo Tuo’s demand.

"Haha, see, emotions will only be your stumbling block." Before leaving, Luo Tuo emphasized his twisted perspective: "Rest assured, once I reach safety, I’ll release her."

Just as he was about to take Zhong Ling away, a gust of wind swept by his ear. Turning instinctively, he saw a fluffy fist smash towards him.

The massive force nearly sent his head flying, stars sparkled in his eyes, and the little monkey he threw earlier suddenly bloomed in size before him.

Shi Zhongsheng grabbed Zhong Ling with one hand and Luo Tuo with the other, forcefully separating them, then held Luo Tuo high before slamming him hard onto the ground.

It seemed it was taking revenge on Luo Tuo, for being unjustly thrown earlier.

"Roar!"

Shi Zhongsheng roared up to the sky, lifted its large foot, and stomped on Luo Tuo, crushing his body into a puddle of flesh and blood with a single step.

Even in death, Luo Tuo couldn’t believe that he fell to a snake and a monkey, dying with unresolved resentment.

Shi Zhongsheng’s massive form over three yards in height caught the attention of people on the island and cultivators emerging from the mines, leading to a rumor on the island that Zhong Ling, the Island Master’s daughter, excelled in Beast Taming.

This said they succeeded in their revenge all thanks to the spirit beasts she raised.

As for Chen Nan, he vanished during the incident. Other than Gao Xue, Li Songnian, and Zhong Ling, no one knew of his involvement.
