Chapter 340 Taotie
The Taotie kept moving among the crowd, looking for an opportunity to hunt new souls to absorb energy. However, after learning about its abilities, everyone was cautious and on guard against it. Every time it changed its form, everyone immediately became fully alert, and other teammates would come to its rescue in time, so that it had no chance to make a move. Then, when Qin Xiaochuan was about to step forward to seal it, it would immediately change its form again, leaving Qin Xiaochuan no chance at all.
The prolonged failures in its hunt made the Taotie increasingly agitated. Perhaps sensing its own primal power was insufficient, it knew that continuing to fight like this would not bring it any benefit. Although it longed to kill these lowly humans who had provoked it, it realized that it was difficult to do so with its current strength. It needed to hunt more souls to replenish its energy. Since there was no opportunity here, it could only rush out to hunt demonic beasts. Once it had hunted enough demonic beasts, returning to deal with these people would be a piece of cake.
So it quickly made a decision, ignoring the four people in the field, and floated rapidly towards the direction from which Qin Xiaochuan and the others had come. However, when it had floated for five or six zhang, a white light curtain suddenly appeared out of thin air and blocked its path. At the same time as the light curtain appeared, the four black stone pillars standing on the high platform also lit up, which was obviously the activation of the Four Symbols Formation mentioned by the Water Priest.
Taotie angrily pounded on the light barrier of the Four Symbols Formation, but to no avail. It could only turn around and fight with the others in even greater anger.
Seeing Taotie's behavior, the four of them began to feel anxious. They suddenly realized that if Taotie didn't insist on killing them, the humans who had provoked it, it could avoid consuming its own source power. In that case, they would have no chance to seal it. It could simply delay until the Four Symbols Formation failed, at which point it could return to the Netherworld Mountains and unleash a new wave of bloodshed.
They must completely seal Taotie here, otherwise they will have no chance later. But even now, it doesn't give the four of them any chance to seal it. The best opportunity to seal it was when Taotie used its soul-snatching chains to pierce the water priest's body, but they missed it. Now they know very well that unless the same thing happens again, that is, when another person is locked by its soul-snatching chains, they can take the opportunity to seal it. But this is the result that the four of them least want to face.
Han Kexin watched Qin Xiaochuan's somewhat reckless figure, sighed slightly, and finally made up her mind. She stretched out her silver wings and quickly flew towards the Taotie in mid-air to fight it head-on at close range.
Qin Xiaochuan was startled by Han Kexin's sudden action. He couldn't understand why she would do this. Her abilities were clearly more suited to mid-to-long-range combat, and her current offensive style left her no way out. Wasn't she deliberately giving the Taotie a chance to hit her with its soul-snatching chains?
Realizing this, Qin Xiaochuan instantly understood, and at the same time became extremely anxious. He immediately called out to Han Kexin, "Come back quickly!"
Hearing his shout, Han Kexin turned around and glanced at him, a mysterious smile appearing on her face. Just then, the Taotie suddenly changed form, and a chain pierced through her chest in an instant. Explore the infinite possibilities of fantasy novels, all in p>
"No..." Qin Xiaochuan shouted anxiously. He swung his sword and shattered the three demonic beasts in front of him. Lightning crackled on the white bones on the ground. He stepped forward, wanting to rush towards Taotie, but Taotie was prepared. In an instant, it summoned more than a dozen demonic beasts to block Qin Xiaochuan's way. Just as it was about to extract Han Kexin's soul, it found that Han Kexin quickly made a few hand seals.
"You can't escape," Han Kexin said coldly. A red rune appeared on her body, centered on her chest, and then spread along the chains, covering Taotie's body in a moment.
"Blood Pact - Lock." Han Kexin said coldly. This was originally a technique used by the Blood Witch Clan to transform Blood Witches. It establishes a blood pact between the caster and the recipient through the caster's own blood. During the period of the pact, both are locked, unable to escape or use spiritual power. Then the caster can use their own blood to transform the recipient into a Blood Witch. But now Han Kexin is using it to lock the Taotie's original power.
"Quick, seal it now!" Han Kexin urged Qin Xiaochuan loudly. Guo Shiyi, Zhou Bin, and Kaiming also disregarded their own safety and cleared away the monsters blocking Qin Xiaochuan's way.
With everyone's combined efforts, Qin Xiaochuan quickly broke free from the restraints around him and rushed towards the Taotie floating in mid-air, wielding the Xuanyuan Sword to stab at its heart.

"You will all die!" Taotie, clearly aware of its danger, roared in extreme rage. Suddenly, everyone heard the sound of a heart pounding, like the drumbeats of a battlefield, filling the heavens and earth. Time seemed to slow down at that moment. Inside Taotie's body, the heart containing primordial power was beating rapidly. White energy surged out of the heart, flowing into the blue lines connecting to it, then into its body, and finally spreading outwards.
"Nine Netherworlds Return to Nothingness." The cold voice seemed to come from the depths of the earth. Qin Xiaochuan felt as if his heart was being gripped by an invisible force, making it almost impossible for him to breathe. Countless black things rose from beneath his feet, then gathered in the air and slowly condensed into countless terrifying ghosts, screaming and roaring in the air. However, these ghosts seemed to be controlled by a mysterious force, merging with each other and finally being refined into extremely black soul-piercing nails. Clearly, Taotie was fighting to the death.
Han Kexin stared blankly at the dense black Soul-Piercing Nails in the air. The image of the wise monk from Kunlun Ruins watching from afar reappeared in her mind. Is it finally coming? she thought to herself. Obviously, these Soul-Piercing Nails were aimed at her. Without being able to use spiritual power, she had no chance to dodge unless she actively broke the blood contract. That would free Taotie and give up the chance to seal it away.
Black nails rained down on Qin Xiaochuan and Han Kexin. The black nails reflected in Han Kexin's eyes, but instead of panicking, she couldn't help but smile with relief, feeling a strange sense of liberation.
Qin Xiaochuan charged forward recklessly, the Qilin Armor fully appearing on his body. Zhou Bin and Guo Shiyi were also quickly forming hand seals, casting several defensive spells on Han Kexin before the Soul-Piercing Nail fell.
