The peasant woman quickly calculated that the entire village had been preparing for a mass exodus th

Chapter 62 His Killing Aura and Merits

For everyone's safety, the village chief ordered everyone to keep their distance.

Zhao Taohua looked up as the earthworm monster charged towards her. She quickly made a hand seal and chanted:

"The power of Vajra transforms into a shield."

In an instant, just as the earthworm monster was about to smash down on her, an invisible spiritual shield suddenly appeared in her hand, protecting her firmly beneath it.

The earthworm monster's round mouth was covered with sharp teeth. The moment it collided with the aura shield, four teeth were knocked out, and a nauseating green slime flowed from between its teeth.

It stretched and twisted its body, then bypassed the shield and attacked Zhao Taohua.

Unexpectedly, he was struck by a sword, and his four-meter-long body was split in two.

Zhao Taohua held the shield in one hand and the longsword formed from spiritual energy in the other. Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard the earthworm monster land, she saw the earthworm monster's two halves writhing on the ground.

Not only did it not die, but both parts of it were still alive?

Although they do not have obvious limbs, they have countless small but powerful fleshy feet on their ventral sides.

Zhao Taohua frowned. Just as she was about to attack, the two earthworm monsters simultaneously sprayed green slime at her.

The two-pronged attack caught Zhao Taohua off guard, leaving her no chance to use her longsword. She could only hold a shield in one hand to protect herself and make a hand seal with the other.

The short hand gestures were weak, and she didn't have much spiritual energy left in her body.

Helpless, Zhao Taohua threw two talismans at them and then turned and ran away.

Two fire talismans ignited the two sections of the earthworm monster's body, but were quickly extinguished by their mutual spraying of green slime.

Two pairs of dark red eyes, the size of black beans, stared intently at Zhao Taohua's back. They writhed rapidly on the ground, determined to kill this little celestial master!

Zhao Taohua rushed towards Shen Ming, grabbed his hand, and shouted, "Brother Shen Ming, run!"

The Qian couple, Zhao Shengan, Granny Sun, Zhao Lianhua, and others who were not far away could clearly see that a huge green slime spurted out by the earthworm monster was about to land on her.

"Watch out!" the Qian couple shouted at her immediately.

Shen Ming spotted the green slime with sharp eyes, and with a forceful pull of his wrist, dragged the person toward him.

Zhao Taohua was caught off guard by Shen Ming's sudden movement and lost her balance instantly, crashing headfirst into Shen Ming's chest.

"hiss……"

Zhao Taohua gasped in pain, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Snapped!"

Just then, she heard the sound of liquid hitting the ground behind her. Startled, she turned around and realized why Shen Ming had pulled her earlier.

Just then, the two earthworm monsters caught up with them, and Zhao Taohua's heart jumped into her throat.

In such a short time, she had only held hands with Shen Ming, and her spiritual energy had not been replenished enough.

Just as she was about to give up and fight the two pieces of earthworm-like fish to the bitter end, she saw fear in their eyes and their fleshy legs slowly retreating.

Zhao Taohua was stunned, wondering what was wrong with them.

What are they afraid of now, having been so aggressive just a moment ago?

Zhao Taohua followed their gaze to Shen Ming beside her, and suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind: Could it be that they are afraid of him?

Zhao Taohua immediately had a bold idea. She pulled Shen Ming forward and said, "Brother Shen Ming, let's do an experiment together!"

Throughout the entire process, Zhao Taohua held onto Shen Ming's hand tightly and wouldn't let go.

Actually, she had made two preparations.

She needs to continuously replenish her spiritual energy from Shen Ming, so that if they become unafraid of Shen Ming, she can have a second plan to use spiritual energy to deal with them.

When Zhao Taohua pulled Shen Ming forward with a bold step, she was terrified, afraid that she had made the wrong bet.

The Qian family and others, who were not far away, all stared wide-eyed when they saw Zhao Taohua turn back!

Qian shouted, "Peach Blossom, come back quickly!"

"My dear granddaughter, run!"

Grandma Sun was extremely anxious. The Zhao family had finally produced a capable granddaughter who led the family to prosperity and earned several dozen taels of silver in just a few months. She couldn't afford to have anything happen to her!

Zhao Shengan, Zhao Lianhua, and others also looked worried. Only a few people stared at Zhao Taohua and Shen Ming's backs, with expressions of anticipation.

Zhao Shenglin grinned and said, "See? I told you this earthworm monster was really strong. Peach Blossom Sister was no match for it at all. She even stupidly turned around and fought hand-to-hand with Shen Ming."

Zhao Shenglin didn't have much of a grudge against Zhao Taohua, but he genuinely hoped that Shen Ming would be killed by the earthworm monster!

However, the next moment, he saw an unbelievable scene: the two earthworm monsters that had just been rushing forward to destroy Zhao Taohua were now retreating in fear.

Zhao Taohua and Shen Ming took a step forward, while they took a step back.

Zhao Taohua and the others took two steps forward, while they retreated three steps!

Zhao Shenglin stared at the scene in disbelief, exclaiming in shock, "How is this possible?"

Weren't they very powerful just now?

What are you afraid of now?

Grandma Sun was excited when she saw this and raised her voice:

"I told you my peach blossom could handle it, right? No matter how powerful it is, it's still the same!"

Seeing this, everyone else stared intently at Zhao Taohua, all agreeing that what Grandma Sun said was right.

As Zhao Taohua watched the two sections of the earthworm monster retreat with her steps, she knew she had guessed correctly.

The evil aura and merits emanating from Shen Ming terrified the earthworm monster!

The two earthworm monsters trembled with fear the moment they saw Shen Ming. They had never seen anyone with such a fierce aura, like waves of ink, and such intense golden light of merit emanating from him.

They would only attack him if they were desperate, but they would probably be devoured by his malevolent aura or turned to ashes by his merits!

The two earthworm monsters exchanged a glance and immediately prepared to turn and run away, but it was too late.

By this time, Zhao Taohua had absorbed enough spiritual energy. She quickly chanted an incantation, her voice deep and powerful:

"Thunder and lightning, dispel evil!"

As the incantation was uttered, the surrounding air immediately vibrated violently, dark clouds surged in the sky, and the world seemed to be shrouded by a huge black curtain.

"It is going to rain?"

"No, it sounds like a thunderstorm!"

The villagers looked up at the sky, puzzled, and saw streaks of blue lightning like dragons weaving through the clouds, making a deafening roar.

"Boom..."

Lightning instantly poured down on the earthworm monster, coiling around it like silver snakes and tightly enveloping it.

The earthworm monster was struck by lightning, letting out screams as its body was instantly charred, emitting wisps of black smoke.

Under the attack of lightning, their two huge bodies gradually twisted, deformed, and broke apart, with chunks of charred flesh falling off.

Accompanied by black smoke, they were reduced to ashes by the ravages of lightning.

Immediately, the lightning dissipated, the dark clouds disappeared, the sky returned to normal, and sunlight shone on Zhao Taohua, behind her was the scorched earth that had been cleansed by the lightning.

Everyone looked at Zhao Taohua from afar, still unable to recover from the shock they had just experienced.

"Goodness, that wasn't a thunderstorm, it was lightning summoned by Peach Blossom's magic?"
