Chapter 681 - 628: Confronting Wen Su Directly
As Xiong Wanjun died, Xiong Tianlai’s eyes widened with fury, and he tried to rush toward Jiang Yuebai to kill her. However, a heavy sword smashed down from overhead, forcing him to retreat and dodge.
Boom!
The ground exploded into waves several feet high, most of the energy was absorbed, and Xiong Tianlai was flipped over by the remaining shock.
Jiang Yuebai glanced at Moh Baichun but did not say much, directly bypassing Xiong Tianlai to attack Shen Mingjing, who had been hiding in the corner.
Before coming to the Divine Palace, she had left a few Little Spiders by Xuexian Lake to guide the Zhuge Family cultivators who followed later.
So it’s not surprising that Moh Baichun was able to find this place.
But... how did they avoid Wen Su outside? Could it be that Wen Su let them in?
As these thoughts crossed her mind, Jiang Yuebai moved like the wind and lightning, arriving in front of Shen Mingjing, her arm shaking as the Candle Dragon Spear drew a fiery red dragon shadow straight toward his face.
A sudden turn of events!
Shen Mingjing did not dodge, allowing the spear to pierce his body, and he suddenly transformed into a black mist, with mirages and thunder striking within.
A powerful demonic Qi erupted from it, spreading in an instant.
As expected, Shen Mingjing was of the Demon Clan!
Then, before Jiang Yuebai could take her next move, the Qilin mural on the wall suddenly came alive, with a massive head charging out of the wall, roaring at Jiang Yuebai.
Roar!
A peerless power instantly enveloped Jiang Yuebai, as if oppressed by the might of a Refining Void Great Power, she could only watch helplessly as the demon fog completely disappeared into the wall.
Unable to open the door on the wall, Jiang Yuebai could only grit her teeth, hoping that Wen Su outside would have the courage to kill this guy!
The sounds of combat gradually subsided behind her, and Jiang Yuebai turned around to see Lu Nanzhi, with help from Zhuge Ziyin, kill Heavenly Star Sect’s Cui Sheng with a single sword strike.
Xiong Tianlai also met his demise under the heavy sword of the giant Armor. Having more people indeed made the battle end easily.
"Your medicine, I have already killed Xiong Yanhong!"
Zhuge Ziyin tossed a medicine bottle across to Jiang Yuebai, who raised her hand to catch it and asked, "How did you come in? Is Wen Su no longer outside?"
Moh Baichun was busy collecting the spoils of war and couldn’t answer. Zhuge Ziqian quickly walked over to say, "It was your friend from the Green Dragon Realm; he held off Wen Su by himself so we could come in to help you."
"Xie Jingshan?!"
Jiang Yuebai looked surprised, and Lu Nanzhi rushed over.
Zhuge Ziqian nodded, "We met him halfway; he said he saw Wen Su sneaking in and worried that you might be in danger, so he led us to follow all the way. Earlier at the bottom of Xuexian Lake, without him, we couldn’t have come in."
"He’s mad!"
Jiang Yuebai cursed under her breath and immediately rushed to the wall. Wen Su had previously mentioned that after they retrieved the Kunpeng Eye, they should return outside, which must mean there’s a way to leave the inner hall.
Recalling the scene when Shen Mingjing escaped, Jiang Yuebai found the Dragon Clan’s location in the Ten Thousand Demons Pilgrimage Map on the wall and pressed her hand against it, channeling the Dragon Qi from her spine.
Soon, ripples indeed spread across the wall.
Aoo~~
Hongye’s voice came, and beyond the ripples lay the passage she had entered through.
"There’s nothing left here. Follow me outside."
Moh Baichun hesitantly looked around, fearing to miss anything, and was pulled into the passage by Zhuge Ziqian.
With Lu Nanzhi in front and Jiang Yuebai guarding the rear, she retrieved two Little Grass Dragons and Hongye as they passed through the passage.
Hongye gave her a Dragon Scale — the Old Dragon Scale that she had seen earlier.
As Jiang Yuebai held the Dragon Scale, for a moment, she seemed to witness countless dragons traversing the sky, their roars splitting the heavens, the scene making her Sea of Consciousness hum.
She hurriedly stored the Old Dragon Scale in her storage ring, intending to examine it after leaving.
In fact, each of the two Little Grass Dragons had swallowed a Dragon Ball, but Hongye hadn’t told Jiang Yuebai.
Upon rushing out of the passage, they found the outside grand hall like a sea of flowers and dense forest, with hundreds of flowers blooming in a riot of colors, petals floating like rain, and the fragrance intoxicating them.
A petal flew past Jiang Yuebai’s face, bringing a sting, she wiped it with her hand, and saw blood.
Everyone was instantly suppressed, their Spiritual Energy difficult to circulate, as petals continually attacked them, ignoring Protective Gang Qi, being incredibly sharp.
Everyone was as if facing a great enemy, quickly using various means for defense.
In the center of the sea of flowers, Xie Jingshan stood alone, facing Wen Su, suspended in mid-air, his body composed of countless petals.
"Kid, you’re quite capable; don’t think I won’t dare to kill you!" Wen Su said sternly.
Two long swords, one green and one red, hovered beside Xie Jingshan. He had returned to the approachable demeanor Jiang Yuebai was familiar with, the corners of his mouth lifting into an unruly and slightly sly smile.
"Come on, try killing me. My master is an Integration Dao Lord of the Green Dragon Realm. If you kill me, your head will be off the next moment, just try it!"
In the past, Xie Jingshan hated borrowing power the most, always wanting to rely solely on himself.
But since leaving the Earth Spiritual Realm, where others no longer saw him as the Young Master of Mountain and Sea Building, he found it difficult to survive without a background.
Those years in the Taiwei Star Alliance battlefield taught him that having a good backer makes many things much easier.
Ultimately, the stubbornness and persistence of youth turned out to be nonsense once matured!
As Wen Su hesitated, Xie Jingshan swung his arm powerfully, wind aiding the flames, transforming into a Golden Crow of mighty stature, slamming heavily into Wen Su.
Boom!
The overwhelming and violent Golden Crow Fire swept forth, instantly engulfing everything in front of Xie Jingshan, even the air was burned and twisted.
Not far off, Jiang Yuebai saw the brief flash of black demon fog and carefully avoided the range of the Golden Crow Fire, hiding among the flowers.
Shen Mingjing!
Jiang Yuebai’s eyes lit up, taking advantage of Wen Su’s distraction by Xie Jingshan, she summoned the Michen Seal, using Space Power to tear open a rift in Wen Su’s domain.
On the other side of the rift lay the entrance to the Divine Palace; for now, she could only send everyone there.
"Anan, you lead everyone out first."
Lu Nanzhi didn’t hesitate for a moment, nodding, "Be careful."
Zhuge Ziqian looked worried, but before he could speak, Moh Baichun pulled him by the arm and left.
"She’s resourceful, she won’t die. At times like these, saying one extra word brings one more threat of death..."
Lu Nanzhi, Moh Baichun, and Zhuge Ziqian quickly vanished, Zhuge Ziyin staying behind, hesitating before leaving with a blank expression.
Heavy rain fell, gradually quenching the Golden Crow Fire, as sweet spring waters gushed from the ground, flowers blooming anew.
Petals flew, quickly forming Wen Su’s shape behind Jiang Yuebai, in his hand a flower basket filled with numerous colorful flowers.
With a wave, numerous petals transformed into a long whip, striking towards Jiang Yuebai and the space ripples she had opened.
Jiang Yuebai used the Michen Seal for instant movement, dodging Wen Su’s blow, appearing beside Xie Jingshan.
"You’ve mastered Space Power; in that case, you must have seized the Kunpeng Eye?"
Wen Su’s eyes burned as he stared at Jiang Yuebai, in his domain myriad flowers grew wildly, petals flying in the air, sealing the space around Xie Jingshan and Jiang Yuebai tightly.
Both felt immense pressure, as if their throats were pressed by tens of thousands of sharp swords, a slight movement would mean instant death.
