In Jiang Xuan’s arms, Chi Shao’s body temperature grew increasingly high, yet her breath became ever weaker. The strange witchcraft was frantically destroying the lifeforce within her.
"Vine God, save her, I beg you to save her..."
Tears fell in large drops from Jiang Xuan’s eyes as he continuously called out to the Vine God, hoping it would save Chi Shao’s life.
In the sky, the Divine Vine clearly heard Jiang Xuan’s call and sensed Chi Shao’s life was fading away, extending a bright green vine rapidly towards the ground.
"Fierce Bird God, stop it!"
At that moment, the Fierce Bird Tribe Witch, already in a state of madness, shouted frantically from the ground.
The Fierce Bird God heard the call and then its divine power erupted once more.
It broke through the Vine God’s blockade and then dashed towards the vine at extreme speed.
The Fierce Bird God rushed past, and the life-saving vine was mercilessly pecked off by its sharp beak. The uncontrolled half of the vine fell weakly to the ground, gradually losing its divine glow.
Subsequently, the Fierce Bird God launched a frenzied assault on the Divine Vine, giving it no chance to intervene and save again.
As a result, Chi Shao lost all hope of survival.
In Jiang Xuan’s arms, Chi Shao barely opened her eyes, looking at Jiang Xuan with reluctance. She realized she could not hold on any longer.
Her lips moved with difficulty, but she could no longer utter any sound.
Eventually, Chi Shao closed her eyes, and a crystalline tear fell from the corner, shattering upon impact with the ground.
"Sister... wake up, sister..."
Jiang Xuan continued to call out in panic, but Chi Shao offered no response.
On another side of the battlefield, the Fierce Bird Tribe Witch began to laugh maniacally.
"The Vine Tribe Witch is dead, the Vine Tribe Witch is dead..."
He initially intended to kill Jiang Xuan, but unexpectedly, it was a witch who died, which elated him greatly, for a witch was more critical to a tribe.
In battle, Gou Teng and the others turned their heads, seeing Jiang Xuan holding Chi Shao in despair and the Fierce Bird Tribe Witch laughing maniacally. Their expressions changed drastically.
At this moment, Jiang Xuan, having experienced hope given by the Vine God’s healing and despair when the Fierce Bird God crushed that hope, finally erupted upon hearing the Fierce Bird Tribe Witch’s arrogant laughter.
He gently laid Chi Shao down, then picked up the Bronze Battle Spear, eyes bloodshot, glaring at the Fierce Bird Tribe Witch as if he would tear him apart.
Inside him, an intangible barrier shattered, releasing a terrifying power that coursed through his veins.
After enduring extreme despair and anger, the Five-Color Warrior realm he had tirelessly pursued suddenly broke through.
He walked step by step towards where the Fierce Bird Tribe Witch was, although he said nothing, his expression was terrifying as if he would devour someone whole.
Two warriors charged at him, riding fierce birds, attempting to stop him.
Jiang Xuan did not even glance at them, yet the Bronze Battle Spear flashed up and stabbed out in lightning succession, and when retracted, it was stained with blood.
After Jiang Xuan passed, the two warriors of the Fierce Bird Tribe stared incredulously at the wounds in their hearts, then fell into a pool of blood along with their birds.
As Jiang Xuan proceeded step by step, more warriors of the Fierce Bird Tribe rushed over. Gou Teng and others, along with thirty Black Wind Rhinoceroses forming heavy cavalry, followed Jiang Xuan, cutting a bloody swath through the tribe.
The crescent moon also charged ahead of Jiang Xuan, bowing its head to fiercely ram into the Fierce Bird Tribe warriors, clearing a path for him.
Jiang Xuan continued advancing towards the Fierce Bird Tribe Witch.
Initially, the Fierce Bird Tribe Witch laughed arrogantly, but as Jiang Xuan drew closer, his laughter ceased.
The shadow of death loomed over him, filling his heart with terror. The instinct to survive urged him to flee.
He scrambled to climb onto the bird’s back, but the strange witchcraft had drained too much of his blood and soul power, leaving him exceptionally weak.
He tried several times but failed to mount the bird.
Just then, the crescent moon charged forward, bowing its head for a fierce strike that sent the bird flying, crashing heavily to the ground.
Then, the crescent moon roared, lunging at the fallen bird again. Its massive body reared up, brutally stomping the bird to death with its huge hoof.
Jiang Xuan finally arrived in front of the Fierce Bird Tribe Witch.
Facing death truly, the Fierce Bird Tribe Witch did not show the courage he imagined.
He did not beg Jiang Xuan for mercy, knowing it would be futile.
He scrambled on all fours, rolling and crawling, trying to escape, yet a cold Bronze Battle Spear precisely pierced his body, pinning him to the ground.
The Fierce Bird Tribe Witch coughed up blood, his hands still trying to crawl forward.
Jiang Xuan stomped on the witch’s back, yanking the Bronze Battle Spear up and stabbing down repeatedly...
Sometime later, the battle ended. All the tribes harbored great hatred towards the Fierce Bird Tribe, and in their frenzied slaughter, not a single member of the Fierce Bird Tribe survived.
After stabbing numerous times, Jiang Xuan’s sanity finally returned. He tossed the Bronze Battle Spear aside and walked back.
He returned to Chi Shao’s side, silent, but tears flowed as if a breached dam, unstoppable.
