It was within expectations that their identities would be seen through by the other party.
After all, a loose end had been left behind. Based on the habits of these ghost tribes, Ao Lie could imagine that his tail had been eaten, so it wasn't surprising that they could remember his scent.
He shot a cold glance at the ghost tribe member and pulled Yun Xiang behind him. His eyes still held the special contact lenses Shen Muzhi had made for him. Though they had lost some of the aggressive beauty of his beast pupils, this deep eye color also made his entire aura even more imposing.
Staring into Chu Wu's eyes, Ao Lie asked coldly, "We've been minding our own business lately, and we haven't caused trouble on your side. Why have you suddenly come here? Are you planning to declare war on us again?"
"Declare war? You're not worthy of that," Chu Wu chuckled as if she had heard something amusing. "I'm just here to kill one person. It has nothing to do with any of you. Take that girl, for instance. If you want to run, you can escape right now. I'm not interested in you, nor do I want an extra meal. But you, dragon, you can't escape. Dragon meat tastes delicious. I've had it once, and now I'm craving it again. I want to eat it a second time, so you must stay."
As Chu Wu spoke, her gaze roamed up and down Ao Lie, as if she were already regarding him as a piece of meat, seriously considering how to cook him.
Disgusted by her gaze to the extreme, Ao Lie gritted his teeth and asked, "Who is the person you want to kill?"
Even though he had a rough idea of the answer, he still wanted to struggle a little. If the ghost tribe's target wasn't Liu Buli, perhaps they could find a way to escape, or at least not have to fight to the death.
Because both Yun Xiang and Ao Lie could see that even if they gave their all, they didn't have that much of a chance of winning against this woman.
However, Chu Wu quickly shattered their last shred of delusion with her words. Still with her flirtatious smile, she said, "The person I want to kill is Liu Buli, the one our young master has been longing for. Once he's dead, the young master's attention can be diverted from him. Our King has promised me that if I can accomplish this, I will be the Young Master's Consort. How about it? It's your honor to be eaten by the future Young Master's Consort. Little dragon, if I were you, I wouldn't resist when hearing such an honorable offer."
She spoke with conviction.
Yet, Ao Lie ultimately gave up on communication.
He drew his sword and charged directly at Chu Wu, and Yun Xiang followed suit, launching an attack on Chu Wu along with him.
The odds were not in their favor.
But if they didn't fight, there would be no chance of winning at all.
The thoughts in their minds were the same. At this point, they knew they had no right to back down.
Ao Lie and Yun Xiang's strength wasn't as formidable as Lu Wuming's, but even so, in terms of spiritual energy and state, they could still exert a slight suppressive force on Chu Wu.
After all, from a racial perspective, both Yun Xiang's race and Ao Lie's dragon god status were beings of absolute purity and cleanliness, completely different from the filthy state of the ghost tribe. It was like light inherently tearing through darkness. Relying on this advantage, coupled with the two-on-one situation, they could at least maintain a state of parity in this battle.
Perhaps because they subconsciously believed they couldn't win easily, both of them deliberately retreated while fighting, luring Chu Wu away from Dan Zong.
Fortunately, Chu Wu's eyes were now solely focused on the dragon.
In her eyes, Liu Buli was just trash she could kill anytime. And if that dragon were to take flight again, it wouldn't be easy to recapture. Therefore, as a smart person, she should eat the meat in front of her first before considering other matters.
It was precisely because of this mindset that Chu Wu herself didn't realize she was being led further and further away from the mountain by Yun Xiang and Ao Lie without her even noticing.
When they confirmed that their spiritual energy and techniques would no longer affect the mountain, Yun Xiang finally felt relieved.
He raised his long sword towards the sky and quickly chanted a few incantations. The previously clear sky instantly became overcast with dark clouds. Then, heavy rain poured down from the clouds, like sharpened blades, striking Chu Wu and making her feel an indescribable stinging pain all over her body.
This was a killing move that Yun Xiang had never used before. It was a secret technique related to her race that Yun Xiang had learned when they were together in that cave.
This seemed to be just a rainstorm, but only she knew that all the falling raindrops were her own spiritual energy, or to put it more bluntly, it was like she had scattered her soul into the form of rain, engaging in a battle that was akin to mutual destruction.
Because of this, the pure and clean soul power would easily harm Chu Wu, who belonged to the ghost tribe.
Based on their previous encounters, Yun Xiang knew that ordinary methods wouldn't cause much damage to that woman. Since that was the case, it was better to use her ultimate move right from the start. If she could resolve the opponent quickly, perhaps it wouldn't cause too much harm to herself.
Chu Wu was not foolish. Upon sensing that the rain was unusual, she tried her best to erect defensive barriers around herself.
She cast a cold glance at Yun Xiang in the distance and sneered, "It seems I've underestimated you a bit, little girl. I've never seen this move of yours before, but unfortunately, it will also be the last time I see it."
As her voice fell, she began to chant her own incantations.
However, after chanting a few sentences, Chu Wu finally realized something was wrong.
Just now, all her attention had been focused on Yun Xiang. The rain was so heavy that she had forgotten that there were other existences hidden within the rain curtain.
For example...
Where did the dragon go?
Why couldn't she find any trace of the dragon since just now?
