439: Chapter 439 This is really bad

"Let's go quickly. I can only briefly immobilize the Mystic Immortal Realm Great Yao Beast for an instant."

Ji Taichang was panting slightly as he spoke rapidly.

The Double-Pupil Immortal Eyes were very powerful, but the consumption required to deal with Yao Beasts at the Mystic Immortal Realm level was still too great. If not for the fact that he possessed three Immortal Rank Innate talents and had sufficiently vast Immortal Qi in his body, that single move just now would likely have exhausted all his Immortal Qi.

"Understood!"

Yao Yao nodded, her pure and youthful face turning serious. She brandished her war halberd once more, unleashing streams of piercing white light as she fought to break out of the encirclement with Ji Taichang and Yun Zhi.

During this time, Ji Taichang used the Double-Pupil Immortal Eyes several more times to freeze a few Mystic Immortal Realm Yao Beasts, assisting Yao Yao in killing them.

Just as they were about to break out of the encirclement.

The roar of that Ghost-Bone Giant Python came from ahead once more.

In an instant.

Over a hundred thousand Yao Beasts mobilized at once. Their roars and howls were deafening, rising and falling like a tidal wave. They charged toward the three of them from all directions, causing the ground to shake violently!

"What the hell!?"

Yao Yao's eyes widened. She instinctively cursed, her entire body tensing up.

"Run quickly!"

Yao Yao pulled Ji Taichang along, her war halberd dancing in countless afterimages, hacking down one Yao Beast after another as her Immortal Qi surged violently.

But there were simply too many Yao Beasts surrounding them. They seemed endless, all charging fearlessly, dragging Yao Yao's progress to a halt.

In just a brief moment.

Several high-stage Mystic Immortal Realm Yao Beasts reached them. In a single exchange, they struck Yao Yao, causing blood to spill from the corner of her mouth and leaving her heavily injured.

"It seems things have really gotten out of hand this time..."

Yao Yao gave a bitter smile and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, preparing to fight for her life.

A Dragon roar resounded in all directions!

Brilliant azure radiance lit up Ji Taichang's body, transforming into scales of an angry Dragon. A sacred and majestic Dragon Might erupted explosively!

In an instant, Ji Taichang transformed into a one-zhang tall humanoid Azure Dragon. He was tall, burly, heroic yet ferocious, exuding an endless sense of oppression!

Boom!

Ji Taichang slapped out with one palm, instantly sending several Mystic Immortal Realm Yao Beasts flying. His thick Dragon tail swept across the area, and simultaneously, he opened his mouth to unleash a breath attack, forcing back the remaining Mystic Immortal Realm Yao Beasts.

He scooped up Yun Zhi and Yao Yao with one arm and shot into the sky!

"So cool... so strong!"

Although it was not the first time she had seen it, Yun Zhi's youthful, pretty face was filled with awe and admiration, her large eyes sparkling like stars.

[Ding! Yun Zhi's favorability has increased by 10 points. Currently unable to obtain 10% of He Dinghong's cultivation/ability.]

[Yun Zhi's favorability: 30 (A surprise awaits when favorability reaches 100!)]

"Th-this is... an Immortal Lord rank Magic Treasure!?"

Yao Yao was so shocked that her mouth hung open, her head buzzing with disbelief!

The True Immortal Realm Junior Brother who originally needed her protection had suddenly erupted with Mystic Immortal Realm level power, carrying her out of the Yao Beast encirclement and turning danger into safety. This was truly too shocking!

"Junior Brother is actually this powerful?"

Yao Yao stared blankly at Ji Taichang's ferocious and majestic face. A strange feeling suddenly welled up in her heart, and she couldn't help but lick her lips.

Although over a hundred thousand Yao Beasts were surrounding them from all around.

Fortunately, the three of them were already on the periphery of the Yao Beast gathering place and hadn't ventured deep inside. Before the encirclement had fully formed, Ji Taichang had already brought Yun Zhi and Yao Yao out.

Furthermore, the Dragon Might emitted by the azure dragon armor was extremely terrifying, Innately suppressing the Yao Race. Even Mystic Immortal Realm Yao Beasts trembled because of it, and they dared not pursue them at all.

Ji Taichang quickly put away the azure dragon armor.

This time, it only took a few breaths of time, and he still had quite a bit of Immortal Qi left in his body; he hadn't been completely drained.

However, Ji Taichang still put on a weak appearance, his face turning pale, his body swaying as if he were about to collapse.

"Senior Brother!"

"Junior Brother!?"

Yun Zhi and Yao Yao were both startled. Yao Yao hurriedly held Ji Taichang in her arms, her face full of worry and heartache.

"Junior Brother, what's wrong?"

"Senior Brother forcibly used an Immortal Lord rank Magic Treasure, causing excessive consumption of his Immortal Qi. He just needs to rest for a while."

Yun Zhi explained while taking out a Medicinal Pill to restore Immortal Qi, personally feeding it to Ji Taichang.

"That's good then."

Yao Yao breathed a sigh of relief, reached out to touch Ji Taichang's forehead, and then looked toward the distant Golden Immortal Realm battlefield.

Ji Taichang lay in Yao Yao's embrace. Although the tactile sensation was far from as soft as Pei Yuening's "jumbo" assets, her petite and fragrant presence also had its own unique appeal.

Ji Taichang raised his head slightly and saw Yao Yao's exquisite and pure face, as well as the fluffy white tiger ears on both sides.

He instinctively reached out and rubbed them.

"W-what are you doing?"

Yao Yao trembled all over, feeling her ears itch. A strange feeling couldn't help but arise in her heart, and her pretty face flushed slightly.

"I've never seen a cat-girl before, I was curious." Ji Taichang answered truthfully.

"I'm a tiger!!"

Yao Yao rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.

Although her face was flushed, she didn't slap away Ji Taichang's hand, letting him continue to rub them.

The distant Golden Immortal Realm battlefield appeared to be in a white-hot state, but Ji Taichang knew it was about to end after just one glance.

This was because Ji Taichang had just seen through several of the Ghost-Bone Giant Python's weak points. Pei Yuening had attacked with full force, beating the Ghost-Bone Giant Python into a steady retreat, leaving it heavily injured and completely at a disadvantage.

If not for the other four Golden Immortal Realm Great Yao Beasts constantly intervening to hold her back, the Ghost-Bone Giant Python would have been defeated long ago.

Just as the battle was at its most intense, Pei Yuening finished gathering her momentum. At the critical moment, she unleashed the full power of the bronze ancient palace!

Boom!!

In an instant, millions of bolts of lightning bloomed simultaneously. The blinding light illuminated the heavens and the earth, a vast expanse of white, with lightning piercing the sky!

This damaged Immortal Venerable Magic Treasure erupted with terrifying power. The blazing lightning, carrying a destructive force, struck all of the Ghost-Bone Giant Python's weak points, causing the entire mountain to shake as if a cataclysmic earthquake had occurred.

The Ghost-Bone Giant Python had never expected Pei Yuening to possess such a lethal move.

It was careless and didn't dodge.

"Awoo—"

Accompanied by the Ghost-Bone Giant Python's shrill, echoing scream, the bronze ancient palace slammed heavily onto its head, emitting a dull, thunderous boom as it forcefully killed it!

"Big Brother!!"

Seeing this, the remaining four Golden Immortal Realm Great Yao Beasts were instantly filled with rage, their eyes splitting as they let out sorrowful and angry roars!

Then... they turned and ran!!

Even the Ghost-Bone Giant Python, which had the highest cultivation, had been killed by Pei Yuening. Their cultivation and strength were far inferior to the Ghost-Bone Giant Python's, so they could only flee for their lives!

But how could Pei Yuening let them escape?

She held the bronze ancient palace, pursuing them with murderous intent!

Accompanied by one deafening boom after another echoing continuously, lightning flashed in all directions. The four Golden Immortal Realm Great Yao Beasts let out unwilling and shrill screams as they were killed one by one!

"So Revered Master is actually at the Peak of the ninth stage of the Golden Immortal Realm. She even hid it from me..."

Yao Yao pouted her lips, feeling both pleasantly surprised and somewhat resentful.

She had always thought Pei Yuening was only at the first stage of the Golden Immortal Realm; she hadn't expected Pei Yuening to be so good at hiding her true strength.

After Pei Yuening killed the five Golden Immortal Realm Great Yao Beasts, the surrounding small Yao Beasts all let out fearful whimpers and scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing in all directions, with no intention of avenging their leaders.

Pei Yuening raised her hand and collected the corpses of the five Golden Immortal Realm Great Yao Beasts.

The corpses of Golden Immortal Realm Great Yao Beasts were rare treasures; their flesh and blood could be used to make medicine, and their scales, fur, and bones could be used to refine Magic Treasures!

Not only that.

There were also quite a few Heaven And Earth Treasures in the lairs of these five Golden Immortal Realm Great Yao Beasts, all of which were worth a fortune!

Regardless of whether there was an Opportunity at the place indicated by the knife handle, this wave had already been a huge profit!
