Chapter 668 - 103: She’s Under My Protection! (10 Updates)
"No way! If you have the guts, come take the spear yourself." Mu Qingge’s lips curled into a wild grin.
The unwavering response made Mu Tianyin’s eyes suddenly turn dark, his cold and fierce gaze resting icily on Mu Qingge. The aura of the Golden Realm Sixth Layer surged from him, like a whirlwind, directly crushing towards Mu Qingge!
His unexpected move caused a drastic change in the expressions of those on Mu Qingge’s side.
The powerful whirlwind tore through the snowy plains and instantly approached Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge’s pupils contracted abruptly, and she tightened her grip on the Linglong Spear.
Just as the rampaging whirlwind threatened to tear her apart, a tall figure suddenly appeared before her, firmly shielding her behind him, casting a shadow that enveloped her whole.
Boom——!
With a loud roar, Mu Qingge only felt a biting wind scrape across her face; the rampant wind blades mixed with snowflakes cut into her skin like knives.
She raised her arm, using her sleeve to cover her face, her brows slightly furrowed.
"Kid! Do you think I’m just for show? She’s under my protection! You want to kill her? Don’t you want to live?"
The wind gradually weakened, and Mu Qingge heard Hou’s voice beside her ear.
That statement was evidently directed at Mu Tianyin.
’It seems that Mu Tianyin’s unannounced strike just now was blocked by Hou,’ Mu Qingge thought to herself.
However——
Mu Qingge’s mood was somewhat heavy.
That strike was merely a casual move from Mu Tianyin, yet it was so powerful. If it really came down to a fight, it would surely be a grueling battle.
Moreover, he had three others at his side, each at the Golden Realm Sixth Layer!
"Seems like the Venerable is determined to interfere in this matter?" Mu Tianyin’s voice came through.
"I couldn’t care less about your petty issues! I only want to protect her!" Hou stated bluntly.
At the same time, Hou also transmitted a message to Mu Qingge, "Girl, why don’t I protect you and help you leave here?"
Mu Qingge’s eyes turned cold, and she lowered her hand that was shielding her, her expression sharp as she replied, ’No way! If we leave, we leave together!’
’You stubborn girl! I can’t protect so many people at once! You want me to die with you?’ Hou was also angry.
In his view, the people who came with Mu Qingge were all here to protect her. As long as Mu Qingge safely withdrew, even if they died here, their deaths would be meaningful. What was there to be conflicted about?
He couldn’t understand why Mu Qingge insisted on stubbornly staying here when they clearly were no match.
Unexpectedly, after a moment’s silence, Mu Qingge said, ’Don’t worry, if I’m really going to die here, I’ll release you from our contract before I die.’ She knew Hou wanted to return for revenge, so he naturally wouldn’t be willing to die here.
’You’re serious!’ Hou was startled, slightly excited.
’I never speak recklessly. Of course, if I survive, and you do your utmost to protect all of us through this ordeal, I will also release your contract and grant you freedom.’ Mu Qingge added.
Hou’s gaze flickered.
After a moment, he transmitted, ’You say that, but aren’t you afraid I’ll just watch you die?’
Mu Qingge glanced at him indifferently, ’If that’s what you choose to do, then I’ve simply misjudged you.’
’Hmph!’ Hou snorted coldly, muttering, ’Fine! Even if you die here, that dear one of yours won’t let me off. Seems like I’ll have to fight today.’
Hou mentioned Si Mo, and Mu Qingge’s eyes suddenly turned gloomy.
She didn’t know what the outcome would be today, nor whether she would see Si Mo again. She still had many things left undone, and had yet to craft a Holy Level Elixir to heal Si Mo’s injuries...
If...
Mu Qingge unconsciously clasped the Golden Palace Bell at her waist, silently praying. ’If I’m destined to fall today, I hope A Mo doesn’t appear, doesn’t find out.’ She didn’t want Si Mo to use the Reverse Curse again, burning his cultivation of ten thousand years.
Their exchange lasted only a moment.
It didn’t attract anyone’s attention.
Mu Qingge’s gaze skimmed over the four people at her side, their faces brimming with determination, without any hint of retreat.
Her lips curled slightly, and a fierce battle spirit ignited in her clear eyes. ’In that case, let’s fight!’
"But what I want is exactly him!" Mu Tianyin sneered, his gaze mocking. He scoffed at Hou’s threat, like he said, perhaps on the Divine Demon Continent, he would fear Hou’s might and be forced to back down.
But here, everyone’s cultivation was suppressed to the same level, how could he pass up the chance to seize Divine Strategy?
As for whether he’d face revenge from Hou upon returning, that would be a matter for the future!
He was a gambler, if there was even a slight chance, he would take the risk.
And given the current situation, he was clearly confident of victory.
’We’ll hold off three of them, you quickly deal with one, then come help.’ Mu Qingge transmitted to Hou.
Since they were going to fight, she naturally had to quickly devise a strategy!
Among them, only Hou could assuredly kill a Golden Realm Sixth Layer expert. So they had to hold off the others, buying time for Hou to kill one, and then proceed one by one.
One fewer person on their side increases our chances of victory.
Without waiting for Hou’s response after finishing her words, she dashed out from his shadow with the Linglong Spear, aiming at Mu Tianyin with a sharp and strategic angle.
Since the other side ambushed her once, how could she not retaliate?
"You two groups of two, do your best to hold off the two! Leave the remaining one to Hou." Mu Qingge exclaimed as she charged out, simultaneously instructing the four by her side.
The Linglong Spear emitted a crisp sound, as if displaying the determination to defend alongside its master.
The sharp tip instantly appeared before Mu Tianyin, glinting, yet he sneered coldly in disdain.
Meanwhile, Mu Chen and Mu Peng launched an attack on Mu Tianyin’s subordinate, while Jiang Li and Yuanyuan jointly pounced on another. The last person faced Hou directly.
When Hou’s towering figure landed before him, his expression changed involuntarily, showing some hint of fear.
However, the slaughter in Hou’s eyes was exceptionally clear, and it kept growing madly! It seemed that, fueled by Mu Qingge’s anger, his fury would be vented upon this person.
"Prepare to die!" Hou extended his hand, fingers forming claws, with purple-black gas emanating.
Upon seeing this, the man’s face paled, unwilling to confront directly, he immediately retreated several miles, widening the distance between himself and Hou. He appeared fearful that coming into contact with that gas would result in poison corrosion.
Hou grinned grimly, rushing forward instantly.
He understood internally, given the strength of Mu Qingge and the others, they couldn’t stall for long, he needed to swiftly resolve one person.
...
Clang—!
The tip of the Linglong Spear was effortlessly blocked by the blade of Mu Tianyin.
Their powerful auras clashed violently, stirring a fierce wind over the snowy plain, countless snowflakes were swept into the air, encircling around them.
Once the snowflakes descended again, the figures of Mu Qingge and Mu Tianyin became visible.
Mu Tianyin’s cold and violent gaze carried disdain, he looked at Mu Qingge with the eyes of a superior, speaking contemptuously, "You are no match for me."
Mu Qingge’s lips curled into a cold smile, her eyes unwilling to show weakness. "Then let’s try."
With that said, she executed the Star Beginning Step with her feet, collaborating with the Linglong Spear Technique to actively strike Mu Tianyin.
The Star Beginning Step rendered Mu Qingge’s figure mysterious and unpredictable, difficult to identify, causing Mu Tianyin’s gaze to brighten, he remarked, "Not a bad movement technique, capture you first and make you reveal everything!"
Greed and ferocity flickered in his eyes.
Now, he no longer just desired the Divine Strategy, but also the movement techniques and fierce spear technique that Mu Qingge had mastered.
The two swiftly engaged in combat, yet Mu Tianyin seemed intent on gradually wearing down Mu Qingge’s vigor, not in a hurry to capture her, instead teasing her while exchanging blows.
He seemed to want Mu Qingge to understand, between the two, existed an insurmountable gulf.
To kill her was merely a fleeting thought.
Not killing her now, was purely toying with her.
Mu Tianyin’s mentality was clear to Mu Qingge. However, she felt no anger, but rather hoped for him to continue thusly. The more Mu Tianyin underestimated her, prolonged such a confrontation, the more time she could earn.
As long as Hou killed one person...
Mu Qingge’s gaze darkened, the gleam in her clear eyes flared up suddenly.
The outcome of this battle was still uncertain.
Today, she had staked all her chances on Hou!
Mu Tianyin was a gambler, but so was she?
Any sliver of opportunity for counterattack, she would seize with all her might to fight!
The two fought fiercely, Mu Tianyin refrained from unleashing lethal moves, yet prevented Mu Qingge from injuring him. On the contrary, during exchanges, he gradually perceived some patterns of Mu Qingge’s Star Beginning Step.
Once again blocking the Linglong Spear, Mu Tianyin showed undisguised ridicule towards Mu Qingge, "Intending to stall for time? Good idea, but unfortunately, before absolute power, all schemes are but futile."
After saying this, his gaze shifted towards where Mu Chen and Mu Peng were.
Following his gaze, Mu Qingge looked over, and the scene she saw sank her heart, lips tightened.
Mu Chen and Mu Peng were directly struck to the ground by someone from the Golden Realm Sixth Layer, snow erupted from the ground. Both faces were pale, expressions pained, blood flowed incessantly from their mouths and chests.
They could no longer hold off the Golden Realm Sixth Layer! Both were in the Golden Realm, but even so, Jiang Li and Yuanyuan...
Mu Qingge hurriedly looked towards the other two.
Quickly locating their figures, Mu Qingge could not help but draw a breath of relief.
Jiang Li had already activated the Snake Cultivation Bloodline within, doubling his strength, while Yuanyuan had the Abnormal Fire Body. With their collaboration, they were wielding noticeable effectiveness without sustaining severe injuries, managing to stall the Golden Realm Sixth Layer.
"Facing me in battle, such distraction is not good!" Suddenly, Mu Tianyin’s voice resonated at Mu Qingge’s ear.
Her pupils constricted abruptly, about to retreat, she then felt a sword slashing fiercely at her abdomen.
The massive sword shadow directly landed on her waist and abdomen, the prevailing aura propelling her backward...
