Slash!
A loud noise sounded as the middle-aged man raised his machete up high. His eyes were filled with a cruel chill as he slashed his weapon at Wen Yan. In a short moment, a hurricane arose and the energy from the sword came whirling towards Wen Yan like a savage wolf. The corners of the middle-aged man's lips curled into a sneer. He looked as if he was already staring at a dead man.
"Lord Governor, watch out!"
The faces of the Cloudy Wind City's soldiers around Wen Yan drained of color as they quickly rushed to protect the Lord Governor. However, before they could reach Wen Yan's side, they were flung out of the way by that savage wolf-like energy from the machete. It was a very upsetting sight.
Under the wild winds, Wen Yan's face no longer displayed his previous gentleness. He stared emotionlessly at the blade which was cast down in front of him as his stern eyes filled with seriousness.
Boom!
At this critical moment, a ray of light shot out from Wen Yan's body and formed a protective shield around him. That light also flicked the middle-aged man's machete out of the way instantly...
The bloodlust on the middle-aged man's face was frozen in place. He stared at Wen Yan fixedly and said, "You have a defense-class spiritual weapon?"
It makes sense!
No wonder he had the courage to make an enemy of the Snow Jade Bandits, he holds a defense-class spiritual weapon! Unfortunately, defense-class spiritual weapons were naturally one level weaker than attack-class spiritual weapons! He would not be able to defeat us simply with this spiritual weapon alone!
"Master, let me fight."
When Wen Yan lowered his eyes, a voice echoed from within his soul.
"No!" Wen Yan shook his head and sighed, "Until the most critical moment arrives, I cannot let you out. Otherwise, it would bring disaster upon the Jiang family! I'm not willing to let this happen!"
"But Master, if this continues, they would take the Dragon Blood Fruit away..."
The voice slowly became more anxious. However, aside from Wen Yan alone, no one else could hear the voice which echoed from within his soul.
Nevertheless, Gu Ruoyun seems to have sensed something and she glanced over at Wen Yan. However, she soon turned away.
"Let me handle this alone."
Wen Yan raised his cold and sharp features as his eyes turned towards the Snow Jade Bandits' mercenaries before him.
"Big Brother, this brat actually has a spiritual weapon on him," sneered the woman in red. She then sent a vicious and cruel glare towards Wen Yan, "How about the three of us attack together and take that spiritual weapon! Stop wasting our time with him!"
"Alright."
The middle-aged man had fallen silent for a while before he then nodded. A malicious light flashed through his eyes as he said, "Second Brother, Third Sister. Let's attack this brat together. As for the rest of the people from Cloudy Wind City, we shall let the others handle them."
As he spoke, the Three Leaders locked their bloodthirsty eyes upon Wen Yan who was standing in the crowd. Soon, an endless amount of murderous intent exploded from their beings, making the soldiers around them feel suffocated as well.
It was very obvious that the Three Leaders were intent on killing Wen Yan!
"Master, I'm hungry. Let Ling'er come out and quickly destroy these ants."
Just as the situation was becoming more exciting, a childish voice suddenly pierced through the skies, falling into the ears of everyone present.
The Three Leaders could not help but look around, trying to follow that voice. They would certainly like to find out who would be so arrogant and have the gall to spout such words.
However, when they saw the small figure behind Gu Ruoyun, they could not help but burst into laughter.

"Little sister, as a person, one should not be so arrogant! If you want my attention, wait for me to destroy Wen Yan first then I'll have a good chat with you about life," the woman in red said as she smiled glamorously. However, that smile carried a hint of contempt as her eyes sized up the little Vermillion Bird with ridicule.
Everyone knows that the Third Leader of the Snow Jade Bandits has a preference for women though she was a woman herself. She loves beautiful women the most. Even if that person may be a child who was no older than the age of ten, she would never spare that girl at all!
Especially since the little Vermillion Bird's features were like tender, polished, and beautifully carved jade. She was so adorable that one would be seized by the urge to fondle her admiringly.
However, not a single person knew when this little girl had appeared.
They had not noticed her before at all!
The little Vermillion Bird pursed her lips and turned to the woman in green robes next to her with a miserable look on her face, "Master, I'm so very hungry. Let Ling'er out and have him destroy her then we'll go get something to eat, alright?"
"Ling'er is your little brother. You can tell him that yourself."
Gu Ruoyun smiled as she stroked the little Vermillion Bird's head.
This little girl isn't used being idle all the time. She had always been unwilling to stay in the Ancient Divine Pagoda for too long so this time she had come out without even waiting for my permission.
"Alright."
The little Vermillion Bird flashed Gu Ruoyun an adorable smile. Her eyes, which were lit with a cluster of flames, turned towards the Three Leaders who were standing a short distance away. The corners of her lips then curled into an evil smile, "Ling'er, destroy these ants! I certainly don't want these idiotic humans to stain my hands!"
Whoosh!
As she spoke, a fiery-red figure descended from the sky and landed in front of the little Vermillion Bird with a loud crash.
It was a large Firebird. Its wings were made of flames and emitted a scorching heat.
Its eyes contained a merciless light which was cruel and vicious. In its eyes, the people standing before it were merely like ants.
Wen Yan's brows furrowed slightly as he staring fixedly at the Firebird which had descended from the skies. A peculiar light then flashed in his eyes, "Tian Qi, what do you make of the powers of this spiritual beast?"
All was quiet within his soul.
After a long pause, a clear voice echoed, "It's more powerful than mine."
More powerful than hers?
Wen Yan's gaze slowly turned rigid. Tian Qi's powers have already reached the rank of a high-level Martial Supreme. This spiritual beast's rank is above hers, could it be that it was a Martial Saint?
The spiritual beast named Tian Qi 1 seemed to hear Wen Yan's thoughts as she replied faintly, "No! Master, that spiritual beast not a Martial Saint! It's more likely that this spiritual beast had failed to break through to the Martial Saint rank. Hence, it's only a Semi-Saint."
A Semi-Saint?
A hint of disappointment appeared in Wen Yan's eyes.
Others may not be aware of what reaching the rank of Semi-Saint entails but he knows it very well!
It is also to say, that this spiritual beast's power will forever be limited to this point and that it will no longer be able to have any more breakthroughs.
A Semi-Saint?
A hint of disappointment appeared in Wen Yan's eyes.
Though others may not be aware of what reaching the rank of Semi-Saint entails, he knows it very well!
Being a Semi-Saint means that this spiritual beast's power will forever be limited at this point and it will no longer be able to have any breakthroughs.
"Tian Qi, based on what you've told me, I'm afraid that it would be no match for you. Even though it's power surpasses yours, it will no longer have any more breakthroughs! Based on your level of ability, I believe that you will definitely avoid this mistake! Your breakthrough to a Martial Saint will come sooner or later! It's unfortunate to see this though. Initially, I had thought of recruiting her when I saw how this lady had brought out such a powerful spiritual beast. Now that I see that this spiritual beast has already lost its ability for further breakthroughs, I'm afraid that I'll have to pass on this."
Wen Yan's expression slowly sank yet his eyes were filled with sympathy.
"Master."
Tian Qi fell silent for a moment before she continued to speak, "I can sense that the little girl next to the lady in green robes is also a spiritual beast! Furthermore, I can't accurately pinpoint her powers at all. This means that her abilities have far surpassed mine. I'm afraid that the only kind of spiritual beast who would have this sort of power, is... A Holy Beast!"
