The man recognized Ji Wuye and knew instantly that the news had leaked. This was perfect; he could eliminate this trouble once and for all. He had told his cousin to kill the wet nurse to prevent future problems, avoiding this very situation. Such a womanly indecision!
Ji Wuye attacked fiercely, but the man was no pushover. As the young master of an enemy clan, he possessed numerous protective treasures. He used a defensive talisman to block the attack, a talisman capable of withstanding three full-power strikes from a Nascent Soul cultivator.
The sword energy crashed against an invisible barrier, unable to advance further. Ji Wuye’s heart skipped a beat; he had encountered a defensive talisman. Realizing this, he immediately retreated. As expected, the opponent cunningly unleashed a lightning talisman, striking the spot where he had just been with a bolt from the sky.
The young master of the enemy clan lamented the waste of his lightning talisman but was also shocked by the rapid growth in cultivation of this lowly illegitimate son. If he wasn't eliminated now, he would surely become a major threat.
Chao Yangzi, having just dealt with the Ji family guards, was faced with another ten enemy guards, which was incredibly troublesome. He snapped his fingers, withdrew from the immediate vicinity, and let his five hidden guards engage the opponents. At the same time, he glanced at the patrol captain with immense disdain. The patrol captain felt a pang of sadness at his young master's gaze; he and his five subordinates were fighting one person, while his master was fighting four. He truly felt like a weakling himself…
Ji Wuye’s eyes were bloodshot with hatred for the young master of the enemy clan, his every sword strike aimed for a fatal blow, fighting with a strategy of inflicting a thousand damages while sustaining eight hundred himself. If his sister hadn't been so lucky, his own body would have been reduced to ashes by now. He knew that the sea contained sea beasts and monsters, and his sister, who was completely helpless, would surely be devoured. The thought of his sister's suffering filled him with an overwhelming sense of hatred!
The young master of the enemy clan considered himself cunning, treacherous, and wicked, having spilled the blood of countless young girls. However, when it came to himself, he was also intimidated by Ji Wuye's suicidal fighting style. The bold feared the reckless, and it was all over a foolish, lowly girl. He hadn’t even managed to touch her, and now he was in such a mess.
He only had such minor preferences, and today he had truly met his match. Seeing his own body covered in wounds, he couldn't help but resent his cousin. If she hadn't exposed him, he could have retreated unscathed!
"Cousin, hurry and help me! Ji Wuye has gone mad!"
Ji Qianqian had been watching Chao Yangzi, feeling that Chao Yangzi looked very familiar. Hearing her cousin’s voice, she turned around and was startled. How had her cousin become so heavily wounded in an instant?
Without a word, she instantly joined the fray, engaging Ji Wuye in a two-on-one battle. Ji Chenmu saw this and, disregarding his own injuries, joined the fight.
"Wuye, I'm here to help you!"
"Ji Chenmu, don't interfere. This matter has nothing to do with you. Don't meddle!" Ji Qianqian shouted angrily.
"Hmph, you're ganging up on him. Moreover, Sister Ji is my sister too. I'm interfering in this matter!"
Ji Wuye cast a grateful glance at his good friend, then his killing intent surged as he pressed forward towards the young master of the enemy clan. He was determined to tear this beast limb from limb!
Chao Yangzi waved his sleeve, conjured a stone table and chairs from a nearby location, and invited Ju Xun to sit down. Xiao Wangyou quickly came over to prepare tea.
The people on the street…
Who was this? Were they openly watching the commotion?
"Sister, shall I go help Young Master Ji?" Xiao Bai had already understood the entire situation. Seeing that the young master of the Ji family was severely injured and fighting desperately to avenge his sister, she was extremely anxious. Sister herself had admitted that it was her sister. Why was she still so nonchalant?
Ju Xun retracted the ice blade she was about to unleash and nodded:
"Go ahead. Kill them all, I don't care about the consequences…"
Before she could finish, Xiao Bai had already transformed into an arrow shot from a bow and rushed in.
Ji Qianqian and the young master of the enemy clan only felt a flash of a fox's claw. Three bloody scratches immediately appeared on their faces. Ji Qianqian felt a sharp pain on her face, touched it, and found her hands covered in blood. She screamed in fright:
"Ah~~ My face~~" She knew this was disfigurement! Glancing at the small white fox, she furiously summoned her Thunderbolt Divine Whip and lashed out at the white fox. No one knew she could use different weapons with both hands simultaneously.
Ji Wuye watched with great satisfaction. Suddenly, he looked at the white fox that had appeared out of nowhere and blocked the whip Ji Qianqian was lashing at the white fox. The whip struck his back with a crack, and a whip mark so deep it seemed to expose bone immediately appeared. Ji Wuye let out a muffled groan. Xiao Bai, seeing Ji Wuye sweating from the pain and still smiling kindly at her, felt her heart constrict.
Was this person an idiot? To be able to smile despite being in such pain? She became enraged. This wicked woman who bullied her sister! And dared to strike her sister's brother! In her fury, she transformed into her true form, eight white tails swaying alluringly behind her. With a furious roar, she spat out thirty-six ice blades that hurtled at Ji Qianqian and the young master of the enemy clan.
Ji Wuye was momentarily stunned by Xiao Bai’s transformation. Looking at the giant white fox, more than three meters tall, standing before him, he inexplicably found her noble and beautiful…
The people on the street all gaped. Was this… was this a Nine-Tailed Divine Beast… Look! Look, it's already eight-tailed…
The onlookers, who had expected to see some trivial gossip, had stumbled upon a major revelation. Those with weaker composure desperately pulled at the people around them, speaking incoherently in their excitement. This was a Nine-Tailed Divine Beast! Its power was indeed formidable. Even from their distant vantage point, they could feel a trace of the divine beast's pressure. Let alone the young master of the enemy clan and Ji Qianqian, who were in the midst of the battle.
The young master of the enemy clan immediately sensed trouble upon the appearance of the Nine-Tailed Divine Beast. He secretly crushed the life token his ancestor had given him, hoping his ancestor would arrive in time. Otherwise, he would surely perish today. If his ancestor arrived, things might be different, and perhaps he could even seize this Nine-Tailed Divine Beast…
Upon the appearance of the divine beast, the ancestors of the Chaotian Immortal Sect also sensed it. They had been in seclusion for a long time, some for as long as five hundred years, even a thousand years. These old fellows had chosen to go into seclusion when they felt ascension was hopeless, and they hadn't been involved in affairs for many years.
Ju Xun saw Xiao Bai revert to her true form and propped her forehead with her hand. With this impudent child appearing, it seemed some old nuisances would be stirred up.
Ji Qianqian was also stunned speechless. She hadn't expected that little Xiao Bai fox to be a divine beast. Was the divine beast's master nearby? The Divine Beast Master surname Ye was already a household name on Tianchen Continent. After appearing in Pearl City, they had vanished out to sea. That battle on the death arena, passed down by word of mouth, had established Fairy Ye's combat strength as not to be underestimated. At that time, she herself was only at the early Golden Core stage and wasn't confident of winning against her. Wasn't the Nine-Tailed Divine Beast originally six-tailed? Now it was eight-tailed. One could imagine how much her master's cultivation had deepened!
She swallowed a beauty pill, stopping the bleeding from her facial wounds. Fortunately, she had previously acquired this pill capable of restoring one's appearance. She felt a slight pang of regret; this beauty pill cost a hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones. She was also fortunate that the whip hadn't struck the divine beast just now, otherwise, if the divine beast's master had been provoked, things would not have ended so easily. No, the divine beast's master would not be far from her spirit pet. Perhaps she was nearby. It would be best not to offend her.
"Nine-Tailed Divine Beast, is your master nearby? We do not wish to be your enemy. This is an internal matter of my clan, please do not interfere."
"Hmph, you dared to bully Sister! And you injured Sister's brother! How can it not be my business? I will kill you!" Xiao Bai flew into the air, killing intent flashing in her beautiful fox eyes!
