Chapter 112: Peach Sage
Chapter 112: Peach Sage
If Li Qian could think of it, others would naturally come to the same conclusion.
Take Chu Xiran at this very moment, for example.
She gritted her teeth and stepped forward with a sense of righteous determination, "Elder Tie, why don't you take Li Qian and teleport away? Leave this to me; I'll handle it."
Elder Tie let out a snort of laughter.
He glanced at Chu Xiran and bluntly said, "You want to handle it? You're just asking to die."
"I..." Chu Xiran was at a loss for words, unsure how to refute.
In her imagination, this was supposed to be a tragic yet heroic scene, but Elder Tie's blunt words made it seem a bit comical.
"You going over there won't even buy you any time."
Elder Tie didn't hold back, "It'll take it just a minute to finish you off."
"You're just going to get yourself killed!"
Li Qian, standing nearby, felt a bit embarrassed after hearing this. So, he tried to smooth things over, "Well, it's true, but Elder Tie, could you be a bit more tactful?"
Chu Xiran couldn't help but twitch her lips.
What did he mean by 'it's true'?
You're asking Elder Tie to be tactful, but you're not being tactful yourself.
Elder Tie shrugged, ignoring Li Qian's words, and chuckled self-deprecatingly, "What's there to be tactful about? Forget about you; even I, facing this guy, can only play the role of a delivery boy."
Li Qian felt that Elder Tie was speaking the plain truth.
However, he still wanted to struggle a bit, so he hurriedly asked, "Then, what should we do next?"
Elder Tie glanced at Li Qian and then at the rapidly approaching Dragon Bull. He succinctly blurted out two words, "Delay!"
"Pffft!"
Li Qian almost stumbled upon hearing this. He thought he must have misheard or that Elder Tie was joking.
How is your method any different from Chu Xiran's?
She's going to get herself killed, and you're doing the same! The only difference is that your dish is slightly bigger, and the Dragon Bull might take a bit more time to eat it.
Li Qian scratched his head and immediately asked, "Is there a more brilliant strategy you can think of?"
Elder Tie shook his head, revealing a profound and unfathomable expression, "My delay is not the same as yours."
Li Qian was left utterly confused.
He couldn't understand what Elder Tie was trying to imply.
Soon, Elder Tie provided an explanation, "My Four-Winged Mantis has the Teleportation skill, which can genuinely buy some time and isn't just a suicidal move."
"Besides, there's one more crucial point."
He looked at Chu Xiran and confidently said, "I'm delaying for reinforcements, while you're just delaying your death!"
Li Qian, who considered himself to have a pretty good temper, almost couldn't hold back and spat out right then and there after hearing Elder Tie's words.
Before, when he was by my side, he hadn't realized it, but now, Li Qian truly felt that Elder Tie was a real smart-aleck.
Smart-aleck or not.
In battle, he was not the least bit hesitant.
With the assistance of the Four-Winged Mantis, he charged forward without hesitation to buy time for Li Qian.
Soon, the battle commenced once again.
Or, to be precise, this time, it wasn't a battle but a game of cat and mouse.
The Dragon Bull was the cat, and Elder Tie was the mouse.
Facing the Dragon Bull's attacks, Elder Tie showed no resistance and didn't even have the thought of resisting.
His entire focus was on escaping.
Relying on the "Teleportation" skill mastered by the Four-Winged Mantis, Iron Elder actually managed to temporarily entangle the Dragon Bull.
However, very soon, Li Qian noticed something amiss.
Iron Elder was finding it increasingly difficult to dodge.
There were several instances where it was extremely dangerous.
He almost got hit by the Dragon Bull's skills.
Not only Li Qian, but Chu Xiran also noticed this.
However, at this moment, the two could only stand by anxiously.
They couldn't intervene or offer any help.
After holding on for about ten minutes, Iron Elder's decline became increasingly evident.
After another teleportation, he was already panting heavily, his breathing erratic.
His old partner, his companion, the Four-Winged Mantis, also looked extremely exhausted.
Boom! Just as Li Qian's heart clenched and Chu Xiran's face filled with worry...
An energy sphere shot over at an incredibly fast speed.
Iron Elder once again exerted himself to the limit, narrowly using his teleportation skill at the last moment to avoid the attack.
No, to be precise, he only avoided a part of it.
The explosive power of the energy sphere still blasted forth...
Iron Elder was engulfed by the blast's shockwave and was sent flying backward, then heavily slammed into the ground.
This time, it wasn't just painful, but also humiliating.
Especially with onlookers around at this moment.
Without waiting to see if reinforcements had arrived, Iron Elder quickly got up and shouted loudly towards all directions, his voice filled with anger, "Little Peach, you better show up, or I'll make all your embarrassing moments public!"
Iron Elder's sudden yelling left Li Qian and Chu Xiran completely bewildered.
Who was this Little Peach?
Was he the reinforcement?
But why did he sound so unremarkable...
"Little Flower, don't worry. Since I promised to come to the rescue, I won't let you die here!"
Just as Iron Elder was in a sorry state and Li Qian and Chu Xiran were utterly confused, a clear voice suddenly rang out!
From the volume and direction of the voice, it was evident that the speaker wasn't far away.
As the voice trailed off, they saw the scene before them flicker, and the next second, a figure appeared in front of Li Qian and Chu Xiran.
Almost as soon as Li Qian saw this sudden appearance, he was stunned.
Because the person before him completely exceeded his understanding.
The man had a tall and straight stature, sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and skin as smooth as cream; he was a very handsome... man! Moreover, judging by his appearance, this sudden visitor seemed to be under thirty years old.
However, from their conversation, it was clear that he and Iron Elder were of the same generation.
To maintain such youthful looks at their age was truly unbelievable.
The handsome man floated in the air, speaking as he walked, "Also, my title is 'Peach Sage'. Don't call me 'Little Peach', or I won't be able to resist spitting on you."
"You have a title, and I have a name."
Iron Elder faced the newcomer without fear.
He spoke up without hesitation, boldly responding, "My name is 'Iron Orchid'. If you call me 'Little Flower' again, even if I lose, I'll splash you with blood."
