**Chapter 502: Hunting Taotie, Shelling the Underworld King**
Wang Xiaoya and Zhao Li dared not move, fearing those guys would turn back. It wasn't until a while later that the two emerged from beneath the Feather Robe.
"This is bad, Zhao Li, that direction is where we're staying, Dong Qing is still there!" Wang Xiaoya exclaimed, looking at the direction the explosion came from. She then put on the Feather Robe and was about to fly off to rescue him! Zhao Li grabbed her arm: "Don't rush, it's not just Dong Qing there, the Underworld King is also there. If even the Underworld King can't stop them, we'll be useless if we go, at most we'll just add a dish for them. The most important thing now is to quickly contact K'un-Lun and tell the Queen Mother of the West about what's happening here! Let that old lady quickly send reinforcements!"
Wang Xiaoya looked at the constantly exploding area, stomped her foot fiercely, her face full of worry. However, she knew Zhao Li was right; even rushing over now would be futile.
"But now we're all trapped in this barrier, do you have any method to contact the outside world?" Wang Xiaoya looked at Zhao Li!
"What method could I have? I can only try them one by one!" Zhao Li shrugged helplessly, then pulled out his beloved iPhone (Underworld version) from his pocket, held it high, and searched everywhere for a signal.
"Can you do it?"
"Don't talk, don't affect me finding a signal!"
Just as Wang Xiaoya and Zhao Li were discussing countermeasures, a voice slowly sounded from behind them.
"I've been listening for a long time, so those guys were looking for you two!"
Zhao Li and Wang Xiaoya were so startled they nearly jumped up. Zhao Li immediately drew his gun and quickly turned around, aiming behind him.
"Hi! Who do we have here, if it isn't Fifth Young Master Taotie!" Zhao Li turned back and realized it was an "old acquaintance" with bulging eyes and buck teeth, a rather unique appearance!
Fifth Young Master Taotie smiled and greeted Wang Xiaoya: "Oh, haven't seen you for a while, I didn't expect Fifth Young Master Taotie to have misjudged you. I originally thought you were a mortal, but I didn't expect you, little girl, to be a Heavenly Maiden from K'un-Lun!"
Wang Xiaoya shivered all over under Fifth Young Master Taotie's gaze. That smiling gaze was full of malice, like a starving old Taotie seeing a table full of Manchu-Han Imperial Feast laid out before him, the eyes of a hungry ghost wanting to satisfy his appetite.
"Slurp! Heavenly Maiden, after so many years, I've never had a chance to taste a Heavenly Maiden! Little girl, how about we make a deal? How about you let me eat one of your arms? Just one, just one!"
Fifth Young Master Taotie looked at Wang Xiaoya, his eyes blood-red, drooling so much that saliva almost flowed down the corners of his mouth.
Zhao Li stepped forward to block Wang Xiaoya, aiming his Soul Annihilation Gun at Fifth Young Master Taotie: "Fifth Young Master Taotie! Don't go too far! The Underworld King is nearby!"
"The Underworld King? Didn't you just say the Underworld King was heavily injured? I heard it clearly. Those people went to trouble the Underworld King, she doesn't have time to bother with you!"
"Zhao Li! Do you think this broken thing of yours can hurt me!" Fifth Young Master Taotie's eyes swept over the Soul Annihilation Gun in Zhao Li's hand with disdain: "What are you? Know your place and scram. A useless Soul Ferryman without a soul, I spit on you!"
Zhao Li was cursed fiercely by Fifth Young Master Taotie but wasn't angry at all. He even had a cheeky smile on his face. He shook the gun in his hand:
"Fifth Young Master Taotie, I admit, my Soul Annihilation Gun can't hurt you. Who are you? The Dragon King's fifth son, the famous Fifth Young Master Taotie!"
"If you know that, why aren't you scrambling!" Fifth Young Master Taotie didn't even look Zhao Li in the eye. His eyes never left Wang Xiaoya. He rubbed his hands, his buck-toothed mouth splitting all the way to his ears! That terrifying and disgusting appearance made Wang Xiaoya want to grab a chisel in one hand and a hammer in the other, wishing she could strike him dead with a lightning technique. But she knew that with her current strength, she had no method against this notorious ferocious beast! "Taotie! In the entire Mortal Realm, no, in the entire Three Realms, there's probably only one of you left, right? According to those people, this is a rare species, worth a fortune! Xiaoya, make a sound for Fifth Young Master Taotie to hear, and by the way, notify those people that there's a big catch here!"
Zhao Li swung his Soul Annihilation Gun and said cheekily to Wang Xiaoya.
"Alright!" Wang Xiaoya agreed, holding a chisel in one hand and a hammer in the other, pretending to smash down on the pitch black night sky.
At this moment, Fifth Young Master Taotie's expression on his face was constantly changing: conflicted, greedy, fearful. But seeing Wang Xiaoya really about to smash down with a hammer, he waved his hands repeatedly:
"Wait! Today's matters end here. The road is wide open, let's each go our own way. Let's not interfere with each other!"
Fifth Young Master Taotie turned and left, but before leaving, he glared fiercely at Zhao Li: "Zhao Li! I'll remember you!"
Zhao Li's response was to give him a fierce middle finger! "Thanks for your concern! I'll definitely eat and drink well from now on!"
After Fifth Young Master Taotie left Wang Xiaoya and Zhao Li, he originally wanted to bypass the explosion area, but after hesitating for a moment in the air, he turned and quietly chased after the dozens of bloodlight streaks that had left.
The news of Chi You's soul and the Underworld King being heavily injured, mentioned by Zhao Li, made this gluttonous old Taotie drool. He was a top Diner who had once eaten himself until only his head remained.
He had long wanted to taste Chi You's soul. Unfortunately, last time he had even put the mortal named Xia Dongqing on the menu but was bluffed by that kid Zhao Li, missing out on a delicious meal! And the Underworld King, that was an existence of the same rank as his father, the Dragon King. If the Underworld King was truly beaten to death by a mob, he might even get an arm or leg to taste.
"Slurp! Slurp!"
Thinking of this, Taotie's mouth watered uncontrollably. His saliva landed on a werewolf who was leaping across a rooftop. The werewolf looked up suspiciously at the sky.
Taotie quickly concealed his form. Even if he couldn't eat the Underworld King, these bats, orcs, and such looked very chewy!
Fifth Young Master Taotie, who had been active since ancient times during periods of war, preying on two-legged sheep, disappeared into the air. He watched the black figures below leaping from rooftop to rooftop towards the explosion direction. The strong, powerful muscle on the orcs made Taotie, who had long disliked the poor quality of two-legged sheep meat and switched to eating their souls, drool.
As the Dragon King's fifth son, Taotie had mingled in the Mortal Realm for thousands of years, devouring countless living beings, yet remained undefeated. Besides his father being the Dragon King, his formidable strength was also not to be underestimated.
He followed the Vampire Clan members in invisibility until he reached the explosion area, and not a single person discovered him.
The center of the explosion was a Villa Area. Against the backdrop of the pitch black sky curtain, this Villa Area now had a sense of bleak sorrow.
The howling cold wind carried pitch black snowflakes and hail, smashing down chaotically. Around the villas, large areas of green grassland, forests, and a dozen small ponds were covered in thick ice layers, reflecting a dead white radiance, like the faces of spirits of the dead in the dark night, chilling to the heart.
