Chapter 2529: The Meeting of the Wind and Clouds
Yumen Beiqing and the Mermaid Queen rode on the momentum of a powerful force for several kilometers before finally drifting to a halt.
The Mermaid Queen wanted to turn back, but Yumen Beiqing grabbed her. “Where are you going?”
“I can’t let big brother Zu brave danger alone!” the Mermaid Queen exclaimed.
Yumen Beiqing snorted in anger. “Can’t you tell that they are both celestials? They are many times stronger than you and me. You won’t be of any help to him; you’ll merely be marching to your death.”
The Mermaid Queen replied, “I am aware of my weakness, but my buffs should be able to help big brother Zu. Taking a step back, even if we lose the battle, I am content to die together with big brother Zu.” Ignoring Yumen Beiqing, she ran back.
Yumen Beiqing was left looking conflicted. Why are so many women so devoted to that fellow? She stomped her feet and followed the Mermaid Queen. She'd been planning to send the Mermaid Queen away before sneaking back to save Zu An, but given the current circumstances, she could only play along and see what she could do.
On the other hand, Zu An realized that he couldn’t dodge Qin’s claws, so he brandished his Tai’e Sword to parry the attack instead. It was a flesh body clashing against a divine weapon, yet sparks flew. With a loud clang, the two of them were knocked backward over a hundred meters away.
Qin circled the sky while eyeing the Tai’e Sword. “That’s a good sword.”
Zu An frowned. Even though the clash was a draw, he had the weapon advantage, and he had employed the Taotie’s Heaven-Devouring Sutra to absorb the other party’s striking force to achieve this effect.
Qin was even stronger than Wei Yueyan. I wonder how the power levels of these celestials are determined.
However, Zu An didn’t panic. Over the years, he had accrued plenty of experience clashing with stronger opponents. It was only in recent days, after obtaining the Cultivation World’s World Law Beacon, that his battles had become much easier. He'd nearly forgotten how intense a battle could be.
