He shouted, and a profound Tai Chi circle appeared around him, using the opponent's force against them in an attempt to counterattack the giant wild boar.
Unfortunately, the black-haired giant boar didn't fight him at all. It turned around and ran away. Instead, a yellow-scaled giant python rushed forward and used its huge body, which was a hundred meters long, to wrap around the rogue cultivator. It exerted its force from all directions without any gaps, leaving him no room to deflect or neutralize the force or use the force against him!
"Well--!"
Feeling his magic circle shrinking, the immense pressure threatening to crush his bones, he could only let out a desperate cry: "Save me—!"
Unfortunately, at that moment, everyone was busy running away, and no one had the chance to save him.
"I'll stop them!"
Seeing that the giant boar was still running and chasing, Nie Ningshuang shouted and raised her hand to recite less than half a spell, and the surrounding temperature dropped by dozens of degrees.
At the same moment, an ice wall tens of meters high suddenly rose up, spanning hundreds of meters of mountain road, and blocked the path that the giant wild boar was bound to take.
However, the giant monster showed no intention of stopping and crashed straight into the mountain. In an instant, the mountain trembled as if the sky were collapsing and the earth was sinking. The ice wall, which was tens of meters high, shattered completely in an instant, and the cold air lost its memory. The monster's speed was hardly hindered at all, and it roared and continued to move forward.
Among the demon cultivators who have survived the siege of countless cultivators from both countries, how many are truly ordinary? Take this pig demon, for example, who has not yet betrayed the Yellow Python Clan and is still alive. He is already among the top-tier demon cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage, and is only one step away from the Golden Core stage.
Seeing this, Nie Ningshuang's face turned deathly pale: "It's over, it's not working..."
Seeing this, Rong Jieyu's face turned icy cold, and she quickly shouted, "Let's fight and retreat, and if necessary, we must abandon some burdens!"
As she spoke, her gaze swept over everyone present: Hua Caiyan's cultivation level was low, but she was extremely fast and skilled at concealment. Yun Chu'an was her last target, and she was afraid that she would have to abandon the two of them. Therefore, if necessary, she would have to abandon Zhu Yunqing and Nie Ningshuang and feed the pursuing demon cultivators so that she could escape with Yun Chu'an.
After all, the enemy is still relentlessly pursuing us, and it would be unwise to fight them head-on.
She had such plans in mind, but Yun Chu'an had completely different plans. He glanced at Rong Jieyu out of the corner of his eye, knowing that this woman was unreliable. Given the selfish and self-serving nature of these evil cultivators, she would definitely abandon him and run away as soon as possible.
Although I really dislike her behavior, it's actually a good thing for now.
They escaped as quickly as possible, and without any worries, they could unleash the Three Thousand Springs of Golden Lightning to wipe out the pursuers one by one.
Thinking this, he glanced at the eagle in the sky out of the corner of his eye, made up his mind, stopped abruptly, and shouted: "Third sister, fourth sister, Senior Rong Jieyu, you all go quickly, don't worry about me!"
Before he finished speaking, he had already recited the incantation. The spiritual energy around his body surged, and his body suddenly grew larger, becoming a giant forty meters tall.
"Drink——!"
He kept shouting, no longer caring about revealing his true cultivation level in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. He circulated his cultivation technique, and his arms, which had turned into rocks, came together and were raised high, then smashed down head-on towards the pig demon charging in front of him!
Chapter 469 When did he and Rong Jieyu become so close?
The two sides collided head-on, and the roar instantly resounded through the sky. The intense shockwave made the mountaintop beneath their feet tremble.
The pig demon was smashed in, its head bleeding profusely, and it staggered back half a step. The stone giant that Yun Chuan had transformed into staggered back three steps before it could barely steady itself.
His stone-like arms had begun to crack, so he quickly channeled his internal energy to repair his wounds.
"Peace be with you!"
Seeing this, Nie Ningshuang was shocked and quickly stopped. She flicked her blue miniskirt and turned around to face him: "Are you alright? Stop hitting me, let's go!"
She was extremely anxious and genuinely worried about him. However, the one who was most anxious right now was not her, nor Zhu Yunqing and Hua Caiyan, who had already consummated their marriage with Yun Chuan, but Rong Jieyu!
Seeing that Yun Chu'an had actually stayed behind and even transformed into a stone giant—a clumsy form that made it difficult for him to escape—to fight the demon cultivators, she was immediately terrified.
My Heavenly Spiritual Root!
Hey, what are you doing staying here? Run for your life!
Rong Jieyu cursed inwardly. At this moment, she couldn't even be surprised that he had broken through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment. She was more afraid that he would die in the mouths of the demons and waste his hard-won spiritual root.
"Don't worry about me, just be safe. I can hold them off... uh—!"
In the distance, Yun Chuan's stone-like voice was still shouting loudly, but before he could finish speaking, another 100-meter-long late-stage Foundation Establishment snake had already coiled up his body and tightly bound him!
This was a clash of forces, but with his body bound, he couldn't exert any strength and could only passively endure the giant python's pressure, letting out painful cries: "Hmph, hmph, hmph, ah—ah—!!!"
A deep, agonizing scream erupted from his stone-like throat, the voice of the stone giant echoing throughout the mountains. Hearing this scream, Rong Jieyu felt as if her heart was being torn apart.
No! My Heavenly Spirit Root Pill! You can't! You fucking can't die here!
Her heart warmed. She never expected that Yun Chuan would be so loyal and righteous. For his family, and even for her, an outsider who didn't know him well and had only privately told him that he would help him pursue You Wensi, he was willing to sacrifice himself to make a living for them.
While she was touched, she also kept cursing him inwardly for being so honest. If he were a little more selfish, things would be easier for her!
Unfortunately, circumstances were beyond her control. The situation had already reached this point, and there was nothing she could do but grit her teeth, stop, turn around abruptly, and leap towards Yun Chu'an: "I'm here to help you!"
Before she finished speaking, she had already flown to the head of the yellow python and pointed a finger at the center of its forehead!
Not only her, but also Nie Ningshuang, who was in the distance, was deeply moved. Seeing Yun Chuan's willingness to sacrifice himself, tears almost welled up in her eyes.
She held back her tears and pointed, "Don't panic, Chu'an, your sister will help you too!"
Before he finished speaking, Yun Chuan's blue-green giant body suddenly turned ice blue, and endless cold air emanated from his body. At this moment, he actually turned into a low-temperature ice giant, instantly freezing the scales of the giant snake on his body.
Both of them had done their utmost for him, but at this moment, Zhu Yunqing and Hua Caiyan looked at him working so hard, completely puzzled: "What is he doing?"
Hua Caiyan was particularly puzzled. Looking at the four late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators on the ground and in the sky, she was greatly confused: "Couldn't he use his... Three Thousand Spring Sunshine... and then wipe them all out in one go?"
Back when Yun Chu'an was in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, killing late-stage enemies was as easy as killing dogs. Now that he's in the late stages of Foundation Establishment, why is he...?
Is this a game?
Zhu Yunqing was also puzzled. Looking at Rong Jieyu, she pondered for a while and analyzed seriously: "Maybe she is hiding her strength and does not want to reveal the fact that she is actually 'Li Changsheng'. She is guarding against Rong Jieyu."
Hua Caiyan was speechless: "Is that so? But his acting was just too... uh..."
She stared intently at Yun Chuan and saw that his body was filled with abundant spiritual energy, as steady as Mount Tai, without the slightest injury.
However, the screams coming from his mouth were comparable to those of a boar about to be slaughtered, making everyone who heard them tremble.
Watching her man scream in agony, Hua Caiyan's expression gradually became subtle, eventually turning into one of disdain: "He's having so much fun right now."
Zhu Yunqing had no mood to condemn Yun Chuan for his pretentious act. Her gaze swept around the surroundings, and she saw more enemies closing in, ready to feast on her.
Immediately, she grabbed Hua Caiyan: "Let's go first, he can get out of danger on his own."
Both of them knew that Yun Chu'an was pretending. There was no room for them to make their moves here, so leaving as soon as possible was the wise thing to do.
Hua Caiyan nodded and winked her left eye at Yun Chuan in the distance, indicating that she understood what he was going to do.
Yun Chu'an was still struggling to put on an act when he caught a glimpse of her amidst his busy schedule. He quickly blinked in response, signaling her to run away.
Immediately, Hua Caiyan also hurriedly ran away, quickly widening the distance and returning to a safe position.
Unfortunately, Rong Jieyu was completely unaware of the exchange of glances between the two. She stood on the head of the giant yellow-scaled python, suppressing the soul between its brows, and glanced into the distance, seeing Zhu Yunqing and Hua Caiyan fleeing for their lives with their backs to them.
Instantly, flames seemed to shoot from the woman's eyes.
How is this going? !
They should have been used as bait and escaped, while she and Yun Chuan, the two who should have run away the most, stayed behind!
Ah, what heartless and ungrateful women they are! They just left Yun Chu'an there and ran away to save their own lives!
She couldn't help but glance at Yun Chuan beside her. Seeing him being abandoned by Zhu Yunqing and Hua Caiyan like this, she couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.
Ah, in this moment of crisis, only Nie Ningshuang and I are by his side.
Oh, Nie Ningshuang is still far away. In this life-or-death moment, only I am fighting alongside him. Even You Wensi can't be relied upon...
Thinking this, she placed her finger on the forehead of the yellow python beneath her and shouted loudly, "Chu'an, I've immobilized it! Quickly pull it off me!"
Yun Chu'an stopped screaming, his heart filled with anxiety. It was because of Rong Jieyu's presence that he couldn't use his full strength.
But he had no choice but to mumble, "Thank you, Senior Rong Jieyu, I'll get away right away!"
As he spoke, he exerted force with his stone arm, tearing the giant python that was wrapped around his body, and shouted loudly, "Senior, you should also retreat quickly, don't worry about me!"
He genuinely wanted this woman to run away, but Rong Jieyu had a completely different mindset: "Don't worry about me, you run first!"
Before she could finish speaking, the black-haired wild boar in the distance roared and suddenly lunged at Yun Chu'an!
"Well--!"
The head with thick, long fangs arched against Yun Chu'an's chest, and immediately the ice crystals on his chest shattered. The forty-meter-tall giant lost his balance and crashed onto the mountain behind him, smashing countless rocks and causing billowing dust to rise.
The wild boar followed closely behind, its front hooves stepping on his chest, completely subduing him!
"Uh—senior, you should run!"
Yun Chu'an was really getting anxious. He yelled at Rong Jieyu, "If you don't leave, how am I supposed to unleash my full power and go on a killing spree?"
"How can I leave? I only stayed because of you!"
Rong Jieyu was also anxious. Seeing that he had just escaped the entanglement of the yellow python, he was suppressed by the giant wild boar again. He was so anxious that he almost cursed, and his true feelings couldn't be controlled and came out.
In the distance, Nie Ningshuang blinked upon hearing this, her heart filled with confusion.
What's going on with these two?
When did their relationship become so good?
She didn't understand, yet the conversation continued, and the battle raged on. The giant boar tried to trample Yun Chu'an's chest with its forelegs, but she raised her arms to brace it, urging her to leave: "No, Senior Rong Jieyu, give up on me! I'm not worth you going to such lengths!"
Chapter 470 Give me back my man!
Rong Jieyu leaped onto the giant boar's head, condensing the power of death and soul-shaking, and pressed it against its forehead, causing its body to stiffen. As she did so, she replied, "There is no such thing as worth it or not worth it, only willingness or unwillingness!"
She was desperate to protect Yun Chu'an, but little did she know that the more she did so, the more anxious the former became.
In the distance, Nie Ningshuang watched all this, her eyes beginning to sparkle like tiny stars.
Wow, is this the legendary love?
So touching...
"Ah--!"
Seeing that the giant boar was also immobilized, Yun Chu'an used his strength to flip it over. He felt bitter; since Rong Jieyu insisted on staying here and wouldn't leave, it was obviously unrealistic to finish it off.
He had no choice but to shrink his body back to its original form and land in front of the woman, saying, "Thank you for saving me, senior. Let's go."
Just as Rong Jieyu breathed a sigh of relief, another unexpected event occurred. The giant eagle circling in the sky suddenly swooped down, extended its two enormous talons, grabbed Yun Chu'an's shoulders, and violently pulled him into the air!
Yun Chu'an had countless ways to counter this move and could have instantly killed it. He barely managed to suppress his fighting instincts, letting it pull him into the air, his heart filled with elation. Now he could finally get away from Rong Jieyu and unleash his true abilities to kill!
When Consort Rong saw the man in front of her suddenly being captured and about to fall into danger again, her heart turned cold, and then a huge rage filled her mind!
"what--!"
She roared like a lioness, soaring into the sky, faster than the giant eagle for a moment. She grabbed its neck with both hands and roared like a wild beast: "Give me back my Chu'an!"
Click——!
A chilling power emanated from her hands, and in that instant, she forcefully snapped the neck of the late-stage Foundation Establishment Eagle Clan demon, then slammed it onto the mountaintop!
With a painful cry, the eagle demon lost its grip on Yun Chu'an's shoulder, causing him to fall helplessly downwards.
As the latter fell, Rong Jieyu suddenly swooped down, opened her arms and hugged him tightly, panting heavily, her heart pounding: "No one can take you away from me, no one!"
Seeing her so nervous and almost frantic, Yun Chuan was in a state of utter confusion. He thought to himself, "Sister, if you had listened to me and run away earlier, you wouldn't be in such a sorry state. I would have just taken out my Guan Dao and killed them all!"
In the distance, Nie Ningshuang watched the two embracing tightly, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Love, this must be the legendary love that lasts until death!
Ugh, why is it that one of them is Seventh Sister's husband, and the other is Seventh Sister's mother's best friend? This obstacle of social status, where can their love possibly lead...?
Unsure of what was happening, she quickly cast a spell, summoning ice crystals to freeze one of the boar demon's legs, and then hurriedly retreated.
Ahead, Rong Jieyu, carrying Yun Chu'an, was also preparing to flee. Seeing that several powerful demons behind her had regained consciousness and were about to give chase, she quickly called out, "Senior brother, junior brother, come help me!"
In the shadows, two corpse-driving cultivators who were preparing to take advantage of the chaos to collect the corpses had no choice but to jump out from the shadows when they saw the Heavenly Spirit Root in danger and Rong Jieyu calling out to them. They each used their own spells and special skills, and activated their magic weapons to attack the pursuers.
One wielded the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, the other the Soul-Suppressing Bell; their methods were ever-changing. Yun Chu'an feigned injury, nestled in Rong Jieyu's arms, but his eyes remained fixed on the two men's fighting style, silently memorizing their combat habits.
Previously in the Zhao Kingdom, the three of them had remained behind the scenes, and he still had no idea what methods Rong Jieyu and the others had used.
Today, this is a rare opportunity; by a twist of fate, we'll finally get to see them show their true abilities...
He calmed down and secretly memorized the three men's fighting habits.
However, at this moment, he could only remember a few seconds. The crisis was over—although in reality, the crisis had never existed in the first place—Rong Jieyu carried Yun Chuan and fled into the distance. Nie Ningshuang also composed herself and quickly retreated.
After shaking off the pursuing demon cultivators, the three returned home to find that Zhu Yunqing and Hua Caiyan had already arrived.
Seeing Yun Chu'an nestled in Rong Jieyu's arms, Zhu Yunqing's eyebrows twitched, her expression showing some displeasure, but she didn't say anything.
Yun Chu'an quickly jumped out of her embrace, his heart pounding with fear. He hurriedly changed the subject, saying, "Alas, Ancestor Huang Mang, have you really broken through to the Nascent Soul stage?"
Hua Caiyan rolled her eyes and said urgently, "Oh dear, how can you not believe me now that I've told you?"
