Looking at her activating the defense mode the third time, Jiang Yan could not help but ask, “Miss Ji, do you still have any soul energy left?”
“Yes.” Lu Mingshu replied and gave her a command, “Move to the south-east, attack!”
Jiang Yan nodded and attacked at lightning speed. Until now, she has already gotten used to listening to Lu Mingshu’s command.
Of course, another water beast was soon killed, and its body dropped back into the river.
Now, Jiang Yuan trusted Lu Mingshu totally and gasped in awe when she gave another command. Her commands are never wrong. Even though I can sense the beast’s action too, I cannot do it so precisely.
As time passed, Jiang Yuan had killed numerous water beast. The lake was now blood-red in color due to the many beast’s blood. The trio was also soaked in blood, as if they have just bathed in blood. Their faces and clothes were all stained with blood.
Jiang Yuan felt extremely tired, but she felt motivated as well. The continuous battle was challenging her limit, and she had already broken some, so her overall ability has increased.
~Persevere, just for a little more…..~
Jiang Yuan gritted her teeth and nodded. I don’t want to die; I have persevered for too long, to reach where I am now, I must live!
While thinking, she prepared her next move. But when she turned around, the king of beast’s body was surrounded by a red-colored light. “Oh no!” She screamed.
Every scale on the beast’s body lit up blood-red. As time passed, it turned increasingly red, shining brightly.
“This is…..” Chu Zhengyan widened his eyes in shock and gulped.
“Self-destruction!” From the Qin’s boat, Qin jun yelled to warn them.
“Brother, what’s that?” His younger brother turned around to look at him in confusion.
But Qin Jun did not have the time to answer him, and he focused on the battle. He did not know whether to laugh or to cry. It was a good thing that he was ten feet away so that he couldn’t help much, and nobody could blame him for Jiang Yuan’s death. ~But I have already put in much effort, and it’s a loss if he doesn’t manage to escape!~
~What a pity. What a pity!~ Qin Jun sighed.
Self-destruction was something that a beast would do only when it has gone crazy. It happens when the urge to win was so strong for the beast that it doesn’t care about its life anymore. In this case, the king of beasts had seen with its own eyes its descendants getting massacred right in front of it as it was helpless to stop them. Even people would mad if this happened to them. At this time, it’s likely to be the last move that a beast would make in a battle, and they would kill the enemy no matter the cost.
For example, this king of beasts has transferred its soul blood to its scales. No matter if this attack works or not, it might die because of the enormous loss of soul blood. Suppose it was lucky, its cultivation might drop by a phrase only.
Usually, this type of attack, not even a cultivator of the same phase would escape alive.
Jiang Yuan is dead without a doubt.
“Oh my god!” Even though many spectators did not understand what self-destruction meant. They could surely tell from what they saw that this would be a devastating attack.
~Such a pity…They exhibited such strong ability, yet it’s all going down the drain. If the freezing spirit elders arrived sooner, it would be good. ~
On the Chu’s family boat, Chu Zhengyan was so shocked that he couldn’t even talk properly. Meanwhile, the floating cloud gentleman seemed to be very nervous and wanted to rush up to help. But he suddenly stopped in his tracks, and his eyes were filled with sadness, which was rarely seen on the floating cloud gentleman as he was mostly emotionless. But even so, his feet felt very heavy….
He shut his eyes tightly, not wanting to watch.
“Whoosh—” the water thundered. The blood-colored light burst out, exploding in the sky as if a firework.
Jiang Yuan was so nervous that all she could do was barely follow Lu Mingshu’s command. She used all her soul energy to form a strong shield.
At the same time, Yan Wugui used all his mystic force to activate the boat’s defense.
Three energies joined together, forming a huge shield.
“Boom!” Jiang Yuan heard something explode, and she was thrown back in no time.
She did not dare to open her eyes, and the wind made her face feel like needles were piercing it. It also made her body numb, to the point where she might not feel anything when she landed.
“Plop!” She felt like her bones had all been crushed.
Until she realized she was being carried, her mind completely blank.
“Prince Jiang! Prince Jiang!”
She opened up her eyes upon hearing someone shouting for her. When she opened up her eyes, the first thing she saw was Lu Mingshu. “Miss Ji…?” She mumbled.
“Great, you’re fine.” Seeing that she was still conscious, Lu Mingshu slowly put her down and went to look for Yan Wugui.
Jiang Yuan sat up slowly and registered her surroundings. When she finished, Jiang Yuan yelled. “Did we pass?”
“Are you dead?” Lu Mingshu rolled her eyes.
“But we were in the lake!”
“One step away from the island.” Lu Mingshu reminded her. “Did you turn stupid after everything happened?”
Jiang Yuan rubbed her eyes twice and felt incredulous. Just now, she was only focused on following Lu Mingshu’s commands and didn’t even realize where they were. ~How did we arrive?~
She looked at the other side in confusion, and Lu Mingshu seemed a bit worried as she was kneeling beside Yan Wugui, shaking him. “Hey, are you still alive?”
Yan Wugui didn’t respond.
After two more minutes, Yan Wugui still hadn’t responded. Lu Mingshu couldn’t help but panic. “What’s wrong with you? You are not even injured very seriously. Wait, I have some medicine with me….”
As she was looking for it, Yan Wugui suddenly jumped up and yelled. “Boo!”
In surprise, Lu Mingshu punched him in the face hard.
Yan Wugui flew a few meters back and landed hard on the floor. He gritted his teeth and wailed. “You punched me? You dared to hit me?!”
Lu Mingshu stood up and sneered. “I don’t think that’s hard enough, though?” She rubbed her fist and yelled. “Do you know what situation we are in now? And you still dare to joke around?!”
Yan Wugui scrunched his nose and laughed, running away.
But Lu Mingshu’s attention was no longer on him. She walked over to take a look at the king of beasts, which was now dead.
Yan Wugui trailed behind her and sing-songed. “Haish, why so serious? I didn’t know you were so afraid that I’ll die!”
Lu Mingshu huffed and walked away.
“….” Jiang Yuan stared into blank space, seeing Yan Wugui still joking around. It felt like a dream that these two clowns in front of her were joking around now was the same two who managed to help her escape death.
Just then, Qin Jun walked over with his brother and servant. “Brother Jiang.”
