Chapter 600 - 596: Battle
Upon hearing these words, both Su Muyao and Xiao Jihan, as well as Jing Chu, had a change in their expressions.
This means that at this critical moment, there is not only a colossal Heavenly Tribulation but also an enemy attack.
And it even involves Nan Feng.
It seems the opponent is well-prepared and has chosen this exact moment.
After all, the appearance of such a massive thunder in the Qingqiu Mountain Fox Clan would naturally attract the attention of those around.
What’s more, when Jing Chu and Su Muyao met in the forest outside, there were already many Spider Beastman attacks.
One can imagine that someone has been lurking around the Qingqiu Mountain Fox Clan for a long time.
Solving one group only leads to a second emergence.
Jing Chu looked at Xiao Jihan and said, "You stay here, I’ll go deal with them."
Xiao Jihan’s strength is insufficient to swiftly resolve those people, so he had to confront them himself.
The Fourth Elder knew that Young Master Jing had formidable strength, yet he still added, "That Snake Beastman is accompanied by a black-clothed female, the Great Elder said that female is unusual, filled with Vicious Energy, unlike a normal Beastman, nor like an Insect Clan Beastman."
"The Great Elder is somewhat worried."
Jing Chu slightly curved his lips and said, "So he either invited a master or found a trump card."
"I’ll go meet them."
Su Muyao, thinking of Nan Feng’s tactics, grabbed Jing Chu’s sleeve and handed him the Snake God’s Reversed Scale, saying, "Use this as a weapon, it can counter Nan Feng."
Saying this, she also gave the Seven-orifice Body Condensing Pill to Jing Chu, "Use this elixir to fuse with him."
At the moment, Wen Nanxi was not present, leaving Su Muyao no choice but to give the elixir to Jing Chu.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; they cannot let Nan Feng break through the Qingqiu Mountain Fox Clan’s Barrier, nor harm Jing Chu.
Jing Chu naturally knew this elixir was the Seven-orifice Body Condensing Pill.
His expression suddenly changed, his eyes filled with complex emotions, he whispered, "Muyao, this elixir is meant for Wen Nanxi, I cannot use it."
In the past, ten thousand years ago, Jing Chu called her Miss Su.
After meeting, he continued to call her that way, only changing after Su Muyao corrected him, he began using her name.
Jing Chu had love for Su Muyao, along with affection and protection, treating her thoughts as his own.
Wen Nanxi is her Beast Husband, so he helps protect him as well.
Su Muyao’s eyes slightly reddened, saying, "It doesn’t matter, both of you using it are the same."
"But no matter what, you cannot let anything happen to you."
Currently, with Wen Nanxi absent, she didn’t have the time to choose, at this perilous moment, she could only ensure Jing Chu’s safety first.
Neither Jing Chu nor Wen Nanxi can suffer any harm or make sacrifices.
As for Nan Feng, he must not be allowed to continue his actions.
The existence of Nan Feng is inherently dangerous.
Besides, the Fourth Elder also mentioned that Nan Feng had possibly brought an unknown master this time.
Previously, Wen Nanxi speculated that Nan Feng had lost his Emotional Silk, likely related to some formidable master backing him.
Otherwise, how could Nan Feng lose his Emotional Silk.
Moreover, Nan Feng’s hatred towards females likely also correlates with his past experiences.
They had various suspicions in the past. Now, with a black-clothed female appearing by his side, filled with Vicious Energy, possessing strong powers, some things started aligning.
Thus, this black-clothed female must not be allowed to harm Jing Chu.
Su Muyao held persistently onto Jing Chu’s sleeve, urging him to agree.
Actually, Su Muyao was already feeling a bit weak at this moment, experiencing some stomach pain.
Recalling what Wen Nanxi mentioned in his letter about Jing Chu, he suggested she might weaken during this time.
Thus, the elixir also had to be given to Jing Chu.
She couldn’t afford to faint from weakness and be unable to arrange many things.
Facing Su Muyao’s determined gaze, Jing Chu sighed in his heart, held the elixir in his hand, and said, "Don’t worry, nothing will happen."
Upon hearing Jing Chu’s words, Su Muyao finally felt at ease.
Jing Chu, having accepted the elixir, had no intention of using it, consistently believing it was meant for Wen Nanxi to consume.
Even if fusion happened, it should be Wen Nanxi leading the fusion of these avatars, transforming wholly into the Ancient Celestial Snake.
He thought, upon becoming the Ancient Celestial Snake, power would truly erupt.
Jing Chu leaped into the air, hovering above the house, unleashing the power within him, placing a series of Magic Artifacts around the house, forming layers of Defense Barriers safeguarding the entire courtyard.
Should anyone intend to harm Su Muyao, these Magic Artifacts would attack them, alongside the layered Array formations.
If one’s strength was enormous, they’d discover multiple Barriers forming around the house, layer upon layer, protecting the house and its inhabitants.
The system in Su Muyao’s mind exclaimed, "Host, each of these Magic Artifacts is incredibly powerful, wielding even one would cause a sensation, yet Jing Chu produced so many at once; it’s unknown where he acquired them."
Xiao Jihan, witnessing the arrangement of these Magic Artifacts, was also extremely shocked.
These Magic Artifacts were certainly not ordinary artifacts.
Listening to the system, Su Muyao felt reassured.
This indicated the safety of the Snake Child was ensured.
Jing Chu continued walking in mid-air, his gaze upon the thunderclouds in the sky above, the rolling thunder, yet he could not sense the presence of the Heavenly Dao.
With his current strength, he should be able to perceive the Heavenly Dao during the Heavenly Tribulation.
Yet now, he felt nothing, indicating a reality: either the Heavenly Dao’s consciousness was obscured, or it had been replaced.
Thus, confronting Su Muyao who could change the world’s rules and her Beast child, this fake Heavenly Dao descended such vast Heavenly Tribulation.
At this moment, Jing Chu put the matter of Heavenly Dao aside, directly arriving at the Qingqiu Mountain Fox Clan’s Barrier.
Currently, the Fox Clan elders were battling with Nan Feng.
Several other elders, with the elite guards of the Fox Clan, were fighting against those Insect Clan Beastmen.
The scene was utter chaos.
Yet, Jing Chu saw at a glance the black-cloaked figure concealed in the towering heights not far away.
Although her aura seemed blended with the darkness, Jing Chu focused on her in an instant.
Her aura reminded Jing Chu of the Fierce Beastman.
No, that wasn’t the main body, but the Spiritual Body of a Fierce Beastman.
Normally, Fierce Beastmen from that world shouldn’t be able to arrive here.
Unless the Chaos Wild Beastman personally acted, tearing through the void.
But the current Chaos Wild Beastman hadn’t fully awakened.
The Chaos Wild Beastman is the leader of the Fierce Beastmen.
Are they paving the way for him?
Since they’ve come, the Spiritual Body must remain.
Jing Chu moved his finger, a sword floated from his sleeve, his superpower catalyzed, instantly causing a resonance of ten thousand swords vibrating.
"Go!"
The sword traversed swiftly, heading directly toward the black-clothed female, its speed as fast as lightning.
It was as if a net of innumerable Sword Qi extended toward the black-clothed female.
As the Sword Qi moved, the wind swept the leaves, seemingly turning into blades, simultaneously attacking forward.
Jing Chu no longer restrained his aura, letting the massive power around him surge, a formidable pressure enveloping the land, overshadowing this realm.
The black-clothed female lightly tapped her toes, ripple-like patterns under her feet spreading, these invisible wave-like patterns carried murderous intent, counterattacking back.
