Chapter 2390: Chapter 2394: The Women Are Mine, The Men Are Yours
"Huh?"
Zhuo Bufan revealed himself and glanced at the blood mist with surprise: "Is there no protective shield? If I had known, I wouldn’t have needed to use my combat skills!"
"Ah!"
At that moment, a piercing scream echoed.
Zhuo Bufan turned his head and saw that Tan Zhengqian in the enormous furnace was already engulfed by flames, turning to ashes in the blink of an eye.
Whoosh!
The flames swirled, the furnace vanished, and the rejuvenating flame returned to Jiang Chen’s body.
"Is this... the Innate Spirit Fire, Rejuvenating Flame?"
Zhuo Bufan glanced at the emerald green flame returning to Jiang Chen’s body and pondered to himself, the obscure aura of blood evil earlier was likely not the power of the Rejuvenating Flame, right?
However, since Junior Brother Jiang used the Rejuvenating Flame as a cover, he clearly didn’t want it to be discovered.
Hmm, I didn’t discover anything!
Zhuo Bufan chuckled lightly, congratulating himself for his wisdom.
Spurt!
After the rejuvenating flame returned, Jiang Chen suddenly spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face instantly turning pale. His entire aura weakened to the extreme, and his body wobbled towards the ground.
Swish!
A silhouette flashed, and Zhuo Bufan appeared beside Jiang Chen, supporting him.
"Junior Brother Jiang, I didn’t expect you to be so strong!"
Zhuo Bufan cheerfully said.
Jiang Chen smiled faintly but wasn’t in the mood to talk to Zhuo Bufan. He looked up towards the distant sky.
Seeing this, Zhuo Bufan also put away his joking demeanor, focusing on the sky. There, the azure divine light of the Great Dao had already been suppressed by three other divine lights.
...
The forest where Jiang Chen and his group were had a hundred-mile length. As they battled on one end of the forest, on the other end, a group of six people entered.
"Once we pass through this forest, we’ll reach Sky-Cleaving City, and our mission will be over!"
A young man with an obsidian giant sword on his back showed a look of relief in his eyes.
This group was none other than Yun Tao and his team, who had accepted the escort mission. The team was composed of Sang Zhenglong, Mu Qianrou from Changhe Academy, the Mu Ling’er sisters, and Zhang Zhiyong, a Late Virtual Refinement Realm student from another academy.
And now, their team had an additional young woman in her twenties, who was their escort target, Pang Wenyan.
"Finally coming to an end, this journey was really tough!"
Zhang Zhiyong also let out a sigh of relief, showing a bit of resentment in his eyes: "Those bastards, they obstructed our mission. Once we return to the academy, I’m definitely going to report this."
Pang Wenyan glanced at Zhang Zhiyong, a meaningful smile emerging on her lips.
Huh?
Suddenly, Mu Ling’er slightly raised her head, her gaze seemingly penetrating the forest, seeing the scene on the other end.
There... seemed to be a fierce battle, and there was also the aura of the Rejuvenating Flame. Is it Brother Jiang Chen?
Her eyes turned, and Mu Ling’er softly said: "Sister, I’ll be back soon."
Swish!
Before Mu Qianrou could respond, Mu Ling’er’s figure flashed and disappeared.
Mu Qianrou was momentarily stunned, showing a hint of helplessness in her eyes. This little ancestor, she really couldn’t control her.
"Let’s rest in the forest for a bit, and in a moment... huh? Where’s Ling’er?"
Yun Tao turned around to give some instructions and suddenly found Mu Ling’er missing, looking at Mu Qianrou with confusion.
"Sorry everyone, that girl forgot something and went back to get it. Let’s wait a bit!"
Mu Qianrou apologized.
"Forgot something?"
Yun Tao shot Mu Qianrou a strange look, but didn’t delve into it. Throughout the journey, Mu Ling’er’s combat performance had surprised even him, so he wasn’t worried about her encountering any trouble.
"Alright then, let’s head into the forest to rest and wait for her!"
Yun Tao nodded, turning to walk into the forest, while the others gave Mu Qianrou a puzzled glance and followed.
As everyone entered the forest, a bolt of lightning sped across the sky, quickly weaving through the forest to reach the other side.
"It really is Brother Jiang Chen, and the one getting hit seems to be Brother Jiang Chen’s master."
The lightning dispersed, revealing a petite figure. Mu Ling’er glanced down at Jiang Chen and Zhuo Bufan watching below, and then looked at the fierce battle ten miles ahead. Her eyes turned, her body suddenly transformed into a small beast about a meter tall, dashing towards the battlefield.
Hmm?
Below, Jiang Chen suddenly raised his head to look at the sky, showing a hint of suspicion. Just now, his Sea of Consciousness’s True Dragon Martial Spirit seemed to tremble slightly, and the source of the tremor was right above him.
"Someone joined the battle!"
Zhuo Bufan suddenly said, causing Jiang Chen to quickly turn his gaze towards the distant sky battlefield, disregarding the aura that caused the True Dragon Martial Spirit to tremble. After all, it was just a slight tremor; maybe it was a misconception.
At this moment, in the distant sky, a bolt of lightning rushed directly into the midst of the four figures’ battlefield.
Bam!
As soon as the lightning appeared, a mid-Unity Realm Stage elder was instantly struck by the thunderous force.
"No!"
The elder was utterly shocked, and his position was already the weakest among the besieged group, receiving Hu Yiqiu’s focused attention, leaving him struggling to cope. The sudden attack left him no time to react.
Bang!
With one blow, the elder exploded, turning into a mist of blood and dissipating.
"Who!?"
"Who dares to meddle in our Qingwang Residence’s affairs?!"
Two exclamatory voices rang out. Both the lady in palace attire and Ling Tian, the Spear Emperor, broke free from the fight and retreated warily, looking at the suddenly appearing figure.
Hu Yiqiu did not pursue and also cautiously observed.
"Lei Ming Beast!?"
Seeing the figure, Hu Yiqiu exclaimed in surprise.
In front of them was a small beast about a meter high, its body flickering with thunderous force, and mysterious ripples emanating around it.
"Old Wine, the woman is mine, the man is yours!"
A childish voice sounded from the small beast’s mouth. A flash of lightning and it charged towards the palace-attired woman.
"Lei Ming Beast, you and I have no old grievances nor recent animosity, why trouble us!"
The palace-attired woman’s face drastically changed, urgently shouting.
Though this Lei Ming Beast was only at the late seventh grade, it belonged to the king beast clan among magical creatures, its combat ability rivaling that of a Integration Realm Peak cultivator. Getting entangled with it meant no hope of killing this wine sword maniac now.
Trying to coax the Lei Ming Beast to leave, she was met with its indifference, directly rushing over to unleash a stormy attack.
The palace-attired woman had no choice but to grit her teeth and retaliate.
"Heh heh, thanks a lot!"
Hu Yiqiu grinned, dismissing his cautious stance, and turned his attention to Ling Tian, the Spear Emperor: "Ling Tian, to indulge in such shameless deeds, you’ll never surpass Sky-Cleaving in this lifetime!"
Ling Tian’s face darkened, retorting savagely: "Hu Yiqiu, you were famous alongside Sky-Cleaving War Emperor back then, but now, do you still deserve to be compared with him? Being merely late Integration Realm, how dare you act arrogant in front of me?"
