"I am Chu Liang, a disciple of the Silver Sword Peak..."
Chu Liang thought for a moment, then decided to introduce himself first.
"I'm called Jiang… Jiang Xiaobai," the woman replied, then glared at the White Ze Cub, pouting, "I occasionally stay here temporarily, it originally promised to guard for me, who knew it would bring you here today… I was in the middle of eating…"
Then, she was seen eating noodles vigorously.
Chu Liang looked at the fairy named Jiang, who was unwilling to reveal her name, and couldn't help but find it amusing.
At the very least, you could come up with a name that's not so similar.
The White Ze Cub seemed to realize it had done something wrong, looked around, and then simply raised its hooves and ran out in the opposite direction.
Slipped away.
"Huh?" Chu Liang raised his hand and called out.
You slipped away so fast, you even took me out with you…
"Since the White Ze divine beast approves of you, I believe you are also a good-hearted person. Can you keep what you see here today a secret?" Jiang Xiaobai requested again.
"Of course," Chu Liang quickly agreed.
If I were to go out and say that I coincidentally met Jiang Fairy here, her followers would probably fill up the Water Curtain Cave immediately.
Jiang Xiaobai saw that he had a friendly face and was courteous, so she smiled slightly, "Then, thank you."
Chu Liang was just about to politely take his leave when suddenly a loud blast came from outside.
Boom—!
"Hmm?" Jiang Xiaobai's gaze sharpened suddenly, "You hide first, protect yourself."
Before the words had even landed, she had already leapt up, with billowing clothes, looking like a drawn sword, her momentum sharp and unyielding.
The sudden burst of aura in this moment was almost at the peak of the Golden Elixir stage, and the exact cultivation level couldn't be guessed. But Chu Liang estimated that the Soul Binding technique that had caused him some trouble, she probably could eliminate it in three moves!
Chu Liang looked at her back and suddenly felt that this woman… made people feel oddly secure.
Rumble—
Immediately, the sound of the explosion came to the cave entrance, followed by an explosion, flying rubble, and the Silver Shadow of the White Ze Cub flew out and fell to the ground.
Bang!
"Ohh!" It jumped up, full of anger, the divine beast's anger, with a gleaming body and a deep growl, completely different from the coquettish cry just now.
Chu Liang's expression turned serious.
The White Ze divine beast cub had at least the strength equivalent to the Fifth Stage. It might not compare to practitioners in terms of magical abilities and artifacts, but it is definitely stronger in terms of speed and strength, not to mention its powerful bloodline and innate divine abilities.
In general, ordinary beasts in the same realm are often weaker than practitioners in the same realm, while divine beasts in the same realm are often stronger than practitioners in the same realm.
But that's just a generalization, the actual situation is much more complicated, and even luck can have a significant influence.
However, no matter how you look at it, compared to a third realm practitioner like Chu Liang, the strength of the Bai Ze cub is unquestionably overwhelming.
But now, this fifth realm divine beast, is actually being beaten and rolling on the ground.
Boom!
The cave shook violently again.
Finally, a huge black head drilled out of the cave entrance, it was a giant lizard head with deformed flesh horns!
This creature was really too big. After entering the Water Curtain Cave, it crashed around, forcibly carving out a path through the cave entrance, before finally managing to squeeze through.
Now inside the cave, it began to act recklessly.
Especially when it saw Jiang Xiaobai suspended in front, the giant lizard's eyes instantly ignited with a fiery crimson flame, and its huge pupils were filled with greed and madness!
"Roar!" the giant lizard let out a roar, and along with the sound waves, a black flame spewed out from its mouth.
The overwhelming black flame filled the cave, like a tidal wave sweeping towards Jiang Xiaobai.
The Bai Ze cub rose up, its figure transformed into white brilliance, and it rammed towards the giant lizard, but the lizard's scales were so tough that the lightning-fast collision only resulted in a muffled thud.
Jiang Xiaobai lightly scolded, his hands formed a gesture, and a burst of light suddenly erupted around his body. Countless sword shadows rose up, forming a wall like a lotus platform, blocking the surrounding black flames, and the resounding clang of sword qi continued.
Chu Liang watched from a corner nearby, the giant lizard seemed to have never seen him before, and did not consider him as a target of attack.
From the current situation, this giant lizard was at least approaching the level of an adult beast in the sixth realm, while the fifth realm divine beast cub seemed somewhat immature in front of it.
And although Jiang Xiaobai's cultivation in the later stages of the fourth realm had not been fully revealed, it seemed insufficient to deal with this giant lizard.
If I, a handsome guy in the middle of the third realm, were to join in... well, whether I join or not doesn't make much difference.
The situation was extremely critical.
Chu Liang paced back and forth, looking for an opportunity to escape.
It was very rare for such a beast attack to occur in Shu Mountain. As long as the senior members of the sect were to discover it, it could be easily resolved. But unfortunately, this cave only had one entrance, and now it was being blocked by the giant lizard. It would be very difficult for me to go and report the incident.
"Roar!"
The steaming black flames raised the temperature inside the entire cave, and with the sound of crumbling rocks, the giant lizard let out another roar, and its entire body sprang out rapidly, its movement incredibly swift!
Its seemingly cumbersome body was simply deceptive to its enemies.
Whoosh—
The giant lizard pounced in the air, opened its huge mouth, and seemed eager to swallow Jiang Xiaobai in one bite!
But the hovering woman was not afraid at all. She changed her finger signs, and countless sword shadows suddenly merged into a single beam of light, turning into a soaring sword energy. With a flick of her finger, the sword light swiftly entered the giant lizard's mouth.
Hiss—
Just as the giant lizard swallowed the sword light and was about to take Jiang Xiaobai into its mouth, she suddenly swayed, and without warning, appeared in the sky ten zhang behind.
Instant retreat.
Chu Liang recognized it at a glance.
Immortal technique, shrinking to an inch!
Among the supernatural powers, the most superior were the various immortal arts passed down from the legendary immortal realm. They were often difficult to master but incredibly powerful.
For the immortal sects, the more immortal arts one mastered, the stronger their actual strength.
Shrinking to an inch was one of the immortal arts preserved by the Shu Mountain Sect.
However, there were many immortal sects, and very few people at the Golden Elixir Realm could cultivate immortal arts. It could only be said that the woman in front of them was not only extraordinarily beautiful but also a truly amazing cultivation genius!
Although limited by her low cultivation, she could not yet use this supernatural power extensively. Just a short-distance maneuver was enough to easily escape, and that was the charm of immortal arts.
Thud—
The giant lizard landed heavily, completely missing its pounce, and it was visibly furious. The flames in its pupils, already angry, turned completely crimson.
Meanwhile, the White Marsh cub still refused to admit defeat, and with a swift gleam, its horn struck.
Plop!
The scales of the giant lizard were extremely hard, and the cub's attack was somewhat restrained by it.
But being young, it didn't have many innate supernatural powers and could do nothing about it. It rammed into the giant lizard, which only shook slightly, then swept it away with a swing of its large tail.
Then it turned its vertical pupil towards Jiang Xiaobai.
At this time, the woman with her back against the rock, with cold eyes, slightly raised her finger and quietly chanted, "Heavenly Sword Technique."
Swish—
A white light suddenly emanated from the giant lizard's mouth, and its expression suddenly became painful. As its mouth widened, the white light turned into strands of rosy light...
It turned out that the flying sword it had swallowed had transformed into an immensely thick sword light and was now being slashed out again!
Vast and mighty!
Heavenly Sword Technique!
This is also one of the most powerful sword techniques within the Shu Mountain Sect, arguably a top-notch supernatural power whose grade is only second to immortal techniques. Jiang Xiaobai actually effortlessly summoned it out of thin air.
If not for that, she would not have been able to contend with the peak fifth level monster with only fourth level cultivation.
Chu Liang watched her consecutively display superpowered techniques, amazed not only by her formidable strength, but also feeling a hint of envy inexplicably.
She knows so many supernatural powers, why am I feeling sad again?
Huh?
Why did I say "again"?
Rumble sizzle—
The might of the Heavenly Sword Technique was unstoppable. As the sword flew out from the belly of the giant lizard, it brought forth a large amount of dark-black blood, which sizzled like magma upon splattering.
"Roar!" The giant lizard writhed in pain, but instead of being slain, this sword that flew from within stimulated its ferocity even more!
With the exchange of blood and flames, it disregarded everything and continued to charge fiercely toward Jiang Xiaobai...
Boom!
The giant lizard crashed heavily into the rock wall.
In an instant, Jiang Xiaobai's figure flashed over to a spot more than ten meters away, but this time, when she landed, it was clear to see that she stumbled.
Using immortal techniques consumes immense qi. Being able to cast it twice in succession was already quite impressive, but it was not a sustainable solution.
But with the giant size and speed of the lizard, how could she evade it without using immortal techniques?
However...
Chu Liang, who had been observing the situation, noticed that the lizard's constant charging had already made way for the opening of the cave.
He decisively shouted, "Senior Sister Jiang, go through the opening!"
With that, he also flew over to that side.
Of course, Jiang Xiaobai had already noticed the opening being made by the lizard. But at this moment, she was entangled by the lizard, and couldn't break free.
As she flew up, she responded, "You go first!"
In the blink of an eye, the lizard turned back and charged at her again. When a monster of this level erupted, it could cause earth-shaking changes. People with weaker hearts might not even have the courage to escape, being frightened out of their wits.
The sword technique had already inflicted nearly fatal damage to it, yet for some reason, it now seemed even more frenzied, as if devouring Jiang Xiaobai could save its life.
But Jiang Xiaobai remained unfazed. At this moment, it seemed that she was unable to cast the shrinking technique for the third time in a row. With a flicker of her right finger, the long sword instantly transformed into a multitude of sword shadows, forming a shield resembling a flower, blocking the giant lizard's path.
Slap! However, the countless sword shadows scattered upon impact, and the lizard's charging momentum was unstoppable!
"Demon!" At the critical moment, a clear voice came from beside, it was Chu Liang.
Instead of leaving Jiang Xiaobai behind and fleeing on his own, he tossed out three bronze balls.
It was the mysterious evil thunder that he had obtained from the soul-capturing practitioner before.
Now, he could only think of the mysterious evil thunder as the one thing on him that could harm the peak fifth-level monster.
The soul-capturing practitioner, as a fourth-level cultivator, would definitely have protective items that could be effective against a fifth-level monster. It's just that the giant lizard's defense was too strong, so it was hard to say how effective they would be. Chu Liang decided to just throw all three of them out.
Over the past few days, he had learned a truth... if you want to play with props, you can't be stingy with money.
If unsure of how many to throw, throw them all, and he wouldn't go wrong.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The giant lizard's attention was all on Jiang Xiaobai, and the mysterious evil thunder that he threw hit the top of the lizard's head, followed by three black bursts on its head at the same time.
With a roar accompanied by what sounded like the howl of a ghost from the netherworld, the lizard's body abruptly rose into the air and stopped abruptly, remaining motionless for a long time.
When the black light completely disappeared, the giant lizard still maintained that posture, the fiery flames in its huge pupils extinguished, leaving only boundless anger and fear.
Chu Liang was stunned because he saw a golden shadow floating from the giant lizard to his body.
Damn, is this thing so powerful?
Did it just blow up the giant lizard directly?
He had only wanted to delay the time a bit and create an opportunity for Jiang Xiaobai to escape.
Never thought there would be an unexpected gain?
