Mm—
However, once the little girl landed in Chu Xingren's arms, she was no longer the quiet, obedient child she had been in
"As I expected—something is very wrong."
At this moment, even Chu Feng felt a lingering sense of fear. This little girl's strength was far too great. Even someone of Chu Xingren's caliber—a peak Martial Immortal—was struggling to keep her under control.
Although he could not sense the little girl's cultivation level, this monstrous strength alone was proof enough that she was no ordinary person.
"Xingren, use this."
It was Chu Xingdi who stepped forward, producing a golden rope and handing it to Chu Xingren.
Chu Xingren took the rope and quickly bound the little girl with it.
AOW—
The moment the rope tightened around her, the little girl let out a piercing shriek.
That shriek was far beyond the roar of any ferocious beast—it was something far more terrifying, like the wail of a demon clawing its way up from the deepest depths of hell.
And at the very instant that shriek erupted, the little girl's power surged even higher. With brute force alone, she tore free from Chu Xingren's grip.
"Devil—so it really is you."
Chu Xingren bellowed in fury. As he spoke, he drew his Immortal Weapon and slashed down at the little girl.
This was no half-finished Immortal Weapon—it was a true Immortal Weapon of exceptional quality. In the hands of someone like Chu Xingren, its power could be pushed to its absolute limit.
The instant Chu Xingren struck, Chu Feng was certain the little girl was dead.
BOOM—
But the very moment the Immortal Weapon made contact with the little girl, a deafening explosion rang out. A torrent of dark, black energy erupted from her body in an explosive burst.
WUAAH—
In the next instant, a miserable scream tore through the air—only it did not come from the little girl. It was Chu Xingren who went flying, rocketing straight backward. He crashed through every section of the city wall in his path, blasting clear outside the city entirely. By the time he finally hit the ground, he could no longer move.
"This!!!"
In that moment, every person present had drained of color.
That was Chu Xingren—a peak Martial Immortal.
AOW—
And right then, that terrifying shriek sounded once more.
But this time, it was far more horrifying than before—hundreds of times more piercing, more shrill, more unbearable.
Simultaneously with that ear-splitting scream, a massive geyser of black energy erupted outward like a volcano detonating, surging toward Chu Feng and the others with a killing aura that made one's very soul tremble.
HUMM—
At that critical moment, a brilliant golden light materialized before Chu Feng and his group, forming a barrier between them and the onslaught.
It was
That small golden house, which had originally been no bigger than half a palm, had now transformed into a colossal structure standing a hundred meters tall, sheltering Chu Feng and the others within its walls.
