After he let out the cry, Chu Fengyun’s face turned pale and his True Qi weakened quite a bit.
Ling Chuxi’s heart pounded, and her whole body tensed in anticipation. However, to her immense shock, the Level 9 Blood-eyed Bone Wolf did not attack. The monster beast just stared at Ling Chuxi strangely, seemingly fearful and respectful of her power.
Even Chu Fengyun was stunned, and made that odd cry again. The Blood-eyed Bone Wolf only took two steps forward before stopping again, looking at Ling Chuxi in awe, not daring to take another step forward.
Mo Kongyuan blinked, dumbfounded. He had been about to leap forward to protect Ling Chuxi with his life, but the monster beast had actually backed down. What was going on? It seemed to be terrified of Chuxi! Chuxi was a killing god, that was for sure—her tongue was so venomous it made people want to commit suicide, and her menacing aura when eating made people stay far away, but why was the monster beast afraid of her? It didn’t make any sense!
If Ling Chuxi could hear what Mo Kongyuan was saying in his heart, she would have fainted on the spot. Was she really so unlikeable?!
Chu Fengyun’s body started to tremble, and he stumbled back a few steps. To control the Bone Wolf, he had used up one third of his True Qi. Originally, he had wanted to kill off Ling Chuxi with the combined might of him and the Bone Wolf, but he never expected the Bone Wolf to refuse to fight. If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have sacrificed his True Qi!
Ling Chuxi’s sword’s intent was becoming sharper, and Chu Fengyun was starting to worry.
At that moment, a furious roar sounded from a distance, so loud it pierced the clouds!
“Realm of True Essence!” Hearing that sound, Chu Fengyun could guess the cultivation of the people that were coming.
Right after, similar bellows echoed nearby.
“Chu Fengyun, how is bullying a junior something to be proud of? Why don’t you take on someone your own age instead?!” Xie Wuji’s enraged voice rang out from a distance.
Hearing Xie Wuji’s booming voice, Ling Chuxi couldn’t stop the grateful smile that bloomed on her face, as if a great burden had been lifted. They were finally here! With the joint force of the four guardians, regardless of how great Chu Fengyun’s abilities were, he would be defeated for sure!
“Xie Wuji! They actually escaped!” The blood instantly drained from Chu Fengyun’s face. Since Xie Wuji was here, the owners of the other shouts were obvious.
He had originally thought that with Qiu Gaohe and Ye Qianhe’s venomous skills and strong cultivation, Xie Wuji and the rest would at least be trapped, if not killed. However, he never thought that they would actually let them escape! Hearing Xie Wuji’s spirited voice, their cultivation was obviously completely unaffected! Naturally, if they had been poisoned, they would surely have had their cultivation depleted, even a little. What was going on?
He had no idea that Xie Wuji and the rest had actually escaped Silver Ancient Mountain Range long ago, and with Ling Chuxi’s aid, resolved the poison.
Qiu Gaohe and Ye Qianhe also had to take the blame. They never were truly subordinates of Chu Fengyun. Being beaten up and scared off by Ling Chuxi, a junior, was already a great shame of their lives. How could they possibly admit this to Chu Fengyun?
Ye Qianhe couldn’t just run to him and cry that he had been slapped endlessly by that brat Ling Chuxi, and scolded and played around with until his ego was practically nonexistent. Therefore, the moment those two left Silver Ancient Mountain Range, they went back to their own homes to cry to their mothers, and nobody had gone to notify Chu Fengyun.
To control the Bone Wolf, Chu Fengyun had already given up a lot of his cultivation, and now Xie Wuji and the rest had appeared. His mind was in great chaos, and his actions were slightly slower. Suddenly, he felt his ribs turn cold.
He looked down, only to see that Ling Chuxi’s sword had actually pierced through his ribs, straight through his body!
