70: Chapter 70 Meeting a Strong Opponent_1 70: Chapter 70 Meeting a Strong Opponent_1 “Who’s there!”
Felling someone suddenly dash beside him, the young boy who was struggling against the giant statue summoned by the Metallic Statue turned and swept his long spear towards the newcomer.
The spear clashed with the Sickle, emitting a grating noise.
After seeing who it was, the boy yelled
Realizing he was not welcomed, Feng Yuan moved aside somewhat angrily, while the surrounding crowd shouted at him discontentedly
“What are you doing over there!
Idiot, don’t drag others down!”
Disdainfully glancing at those people, Feng Yuan walked away from the young boy and the crowd, raised his Sickle toward a giant statue, and shouted
Dark chains burst out around Feng Yuan, entwining the giant statue and dragging it over.
Feng Yuan’s Sickle blazed with dark flames as he ferociously slashed down at the giant statue.
After a moment, he had cleaved the giant statue into pieces.
Feng Yuan looked up at the young boy with a smug expression and said
“Still want me to go to the back?”
Seeing the surprised face of the young boy, Feng Yuan shook his head and again summoned the chains to pull over another giant statue.
After Feng Yuan took two giant statues away, the pressure on the young boy lessened, allowing him to wield his long spear and damage the giant statues opportunistically.
Qi Chen motioned for Ah Mu to use vines in an attempt to restrain the giant statues, but finding it ineffective, he quickly took Xiao Ji and the Dreaming Dragon Baby to a safer distance.
They’ve even got new tricks!”
After finally dealing with those giant statues, the central Metallic Statue waved its Scepter, and several huge stone statues wielding long swords appeared around them.
Seeing this development, everyone’s faces turned grim.
Feng Yuan gripped his Sickle and struck at one of the stone statues, but unlike before, he couldn’t smash its body, merely gouging a huge gash in it.
Feng Yuan cursed under his breath and glanced at the young boy, who thrust his long spear enveloped in flames at the stone statue with ferocious momentum.
However, the result was similar to Feng Yuan’s – the spear only made a gash in the stone stature.
The young boy turned his head, noting Feng Yuan’s similar plight, and looked at his right hand with a complex expression.
The stone statue Feng Yuan had attacked launched an assault at him, forcing him to focus intently on handling the stone statue and leaving him no capacity to pay attention to the young boy.
“They should be okay, right…”
Carrying the Dreaming Dragon Baby, Qi Chen and Xiao Ji retreated a bit further back.
Xiao Ji, driven away by Feng Yuan, ended up by Qi Chen’s side.
Staring at the young boy covered in flames, Qi Chen reassured the worried Xiao Ji,
“Let’s move back a bit more.”
Xiao Ji looked puzzledly at Qi Chen, then turned to glance at the other side of the crowd.
Qi Chen noticed some people taking out their phones, apparently to record a video, and said teasingly to those people,
“They won’t be able to hold off those things for long.
We should move back so we don’t end up needing them to come save us.”
Xiao Ji anxiously watched Feng Yuan entangled with the stone statues, then looked down at himself.
Qi Chen simply picked up Xiao Ji and ran back a short distance.
Amidst the mocking gazes of the crowd, he put Xiao Ji down.
Xiao Ji angrily stared at those people.
After hesitating for a moment, Qi Chen yelled at them,
It’s dangerous over there!”
Didn’t you see the Divine Pact Maker here?”
“Exactly, with the Divine Pact Maker here, what’s there to worry about?”
As the crowd mocked Qi Chen, one of the stone statues broke away from the battle and charged towards the crowd.
Seeing the stone statue heading their way, those people screamed and turned to scatter in all directions.
The young boy muttered something under his breath in exasperation.
After a while, the young boy’s body erupted with blazing flames.
“Is he using his ultimate now?”
Feng Yuan watched with some surprise as a giant Fire Vermilion Bird emerged from the flames.
As soon as the Firebird appeared, it fiercely pounced on the stone statue attacking the crowd.
Feng Yuan detained two other stone statues, while Qi Chen watched the Fire Vermilion Bird in astonishment and said,
Wu Feng, transformed into the Vermilion Bird, launched an attack against the stone statues, while Feng Yuan thought for a moment, raised his sickle towards the statue in front of him and began chanting softly.
Numerous pitch-black chains burst forth, securely locking the stone statue in place.
The statue struggled incessantly to free itself from the chains, but as Feng Yuan’s chanting continued, more and more chains enveloped it.
Watching the chains tightly bind the statue, Feng Yuan’s lips curled up slightly.
With a wave of his sickle, a grating sound of friction filled the air as the chains violently contracted inward.
Soon, the compressed chains, along with fragments of the statue, shattered and scattered everywhere.
Feng Yuan’s body swayed, barely able to stand steady.
He used the sickle to prop himself up and, smiling, looked towards Wu Feng.
Wu Feng, as the Fire Vermilion Bird, gave Feng Yuan a glance before resuming his assault on the statues.
Feng Yuan rested a while before repeating his technique on another statue and shattering it.
Leaning on his sickle, he walked over to Qi Chen.
“I’m fine, just a bit tired.”
After resting for a short while, Feng Yuan picked up Xiao Ji, who was looking at him worriedly, and placed her on his head.
Qi Chen, seeing Feng Yuan’s action, said somewhat puzzled,
“Aren’t you going to help out?”
If he can’t take care of that thing even with the help of his Divine Beast form, then there’s nothing I can do.”
We’re leaving just like that?”
Watching as Feng Yuan, with Xiao Ji on his head and the Dreaming Dragon Baby in tow, turned to leave, Qi Chen couldn’t hide his confusion.
Feng Yuan glanced at Wu Feng, who had finished off the stone statues and was now battling a metallic statue, and said,
“What’s the point of staying?
Let him handle the rest.
If we don’t hurry, aren’t you worried something might happen to Xiao Shuang?”
Reminded by Feng Yuan, Qi Chen hesitated but eventually followed the already departing Feng Yuan.
The others, just recovering from their panic, didn’t notice the two leaving.
Wu Feng watched them go with a complex look in his eyes, then steadied himself and resumed his attack on the metallic statue before him.
“Aren’t you going to eat?
I’ve never seen you eat anything.”
Xiao Shuang offered the grilled meat to the White Wolf, who shook his head and retreated.
Xiao Shuang looked at the White Wolf with concern and said,
It can’t be good to go without food for so long, right?”
“Or should I give you my snacks?”
After the White Wolf shook its head, Xiao Shuang hesitated before sitting down and eating the grilled meat, chatting as she ate,
“It’d be nice if Feng Yuan were here.
That guy always carries seasonings with him; he could definitely make something you’d like.”
The White Wolf lay on the ground, slightly opening its eyelids to glance at Xiao Shuang before closing its eyes to rest.
Seeing the White Wolf with its eyes closed, Xiao Shuang hesitated before quietly finishing her meat.
Realizing that the White Wolf hadn’t summoned any water, she took out a tissue from her small bag to wipe her hands and tiptoed over to the White Wolf’s side.
After stealthily checking on the White Wolf and finding it seemingly asleep, Xiao Shuang’s face lit up with a smile as she quietly took out her phone, set it to camera mode, and after triple-checking that all the sounds on her phone were off, she positioned herself for a selfie with the White Wolf.
The White Wolf opened its eyes and saw Xiao Shuang sitting there as if deep in thought, then summoned a stream of water.
Xiao Shuang smiled at the water that appeared before her and thanked the White Wolf,
After washing her hands, Xiao Shuang carefully dabbed them dry with a tissue, then went over to the White Wolf and gently stroked its soft fur, saying,
“Now, I can’t sense the direction of the presence that’s calling me anymore; it feels like it’s everywhere.”
The White Wolf turned its head, looking at Xiao Shuang with a puzzled expression.
Xiao Shuang, pinching her chin, said to the White Wolf,
This thing doesn’t seem like a trap, but we haven’t found anything either.”
Suddenly, the ground shook violently.
The White Wolf crouched down and with a nudge, tossed Xiao Shuang onto its back and watched the surroundings vigilantly.
