Chapter 005: The Sorceress and the Dragon

"What is a little monster?" Gu Chen had never seen a little monster, so he naturally did not understand what Chen Mu was talking about

Hearing the inquiry from the person beside her, the woman in green hesitated to take action. She could only curiously gaze at the strange phenomenon deep within the forest, then turned back to look at Chen Mu lying there, murmuring, "What is going on? Wasn't it said that with Chen Mu present, this beast wouldn't come any closer? How could this situation arise? Could it be... that this beast has some unspeakable secret with Chen Mu?"

Run fast

It is unknown who shouted first, but it completely disrupted the current turmoil. All the mercenaries could no longer hold onto their last line of defense, and the authority of the mercenary guild was nearly obliterated under the overwhelming pressure of Wu Jiao's formidable presence. At this moment, the old saying was confirmed: "When disaster strikes, everyone for themselves"

Chen Mu did not dare to act rashly, but remained vigilant towards the beast before him. At that moment, a small creature suddenly jumped into Chen Mu's backpack from the direction of the witch's dragon.

However, the Qingyi did not seem to anticipate that such a massive Wujiao could be so agile. Immediately, he calmed his mind, twisted his body, and once again summoned the Qingming fighting spirit: "Qingming Thirteen Styles, Fall Qingyi!" With this loud call, the fighting spirit, which had originally dispersed into several streams, instantly transformed into a giant wave, resembling the waters of a river, with one wave crashing upon another, exerting overwhelming pressure.

Tsk tsk, you really know how to pick a place to hide! Didn't I tell you to go find something to eat? How did you end up provoking him again?" Before Chen Mu could ask more, Gu Chen pulled him up with one hand and shouted, "It's really Wu Jiao! Wu Jiao!"

However, the speed of that serpent was disproportionate to its size. In the face of the imposing dance of the green-clad figure, it easily evaded with a few agile movements, making it hard to imagine how such a massive body could dodge the dance of the green-clad figure.

Gu Chen hurried over, helped Chen Mu up, and asked, "What happened? How did you get hurt like this?" In Gu Chen's eyes, he thought that Chen Mu was injured due to a magical beast, unaware that it was the work of the person in the green attire.

As the mercenaries scrambled in panic, the figure in green was filled with rage. The long sword in his hand no longer pointed at Chen Mu; instead, he unleashed a sharp sword energy towards the witch in front of him. As his figure flickered, a blazing green light once again streaked across the dark sky, even more dazzling than the last time.

Seeing the intense fighting spirit, Zhao Xing, who was hiding nearby, unexpectedly stepped forward with excitement. In his memory, Qing Yi had only used this Qingming fighting spirit a few times, specifically on two occasions. The first was when Qingming was first formed, where Qing Yi represented the Zhao family of Wubang City and decisively defeated the rival Li family, thus gaining fame in the Su Yala Dynasty. The second time was when Qing Yi was accepted under the Seven Guests, and with this achievement, he secured the third position among the seven major guests: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, and Purple. It can be said that as long as Qing Yi utilized the Qingming fighting spirit, he had never faced defeat. Moreover, Qing Yi's Qingming fighting spirit, in a certain sense, is a derivative of his true strength, often being twice his actual power. However, activating this ability consumes a significant amount of energy, and after each use, Qing Yi would need to rest for half a month.

With a loud bang, a cloud of smoke and dust billowed out in the dim air, completely obscuring the fleeing crowd's line of sight

Upon witnessing such a celestial phenomenon, the people standing deep within the mountains could not help but tremble in their feet. The appearance of the witch dragon has caused a tremendous stir in the Lost Forest

Roar

Witch dragon, witch dragon

Lord Qingyi, it seems that the witch's calamity is truly upon us this time. What shall we do

The blue-clad figure could not evade in time and could only brace for this strike: Raise the blue attire

Only then did Wu Jiao swing his palm in fury towards the figure in blue, unleashing an overwhelming force as a powerful surge of energy pressed down upon the figure's head

Azure Profound Fighting Qi

Good

Seeing Wu Jiao lying motionless in the smoke and dust for quite a while, Zhao Xing jumped close to the figure in green, helping up the seemingly nearly exhausted figure who had already executed three moves. He exclaimed loudly: "Master, your Qingming Thirteen Styles are truly extraordinary, even the level four human Wu Jiao has been killed by you!"

Chen Mu did not explain: "Don't ask for now, quickly help me see where the little monster has gone?"

As the deafening sound, which was almost within reach, erupted, the monstrous beast that had plunged the entire forest into an unusual state finally came into view. A gigantic beast resembling a black doll, known as the Witch Jiao, appeared before the onlookers. The black doll merely sensed the mercenary guild in front of it with its ears, yet its target was clearly not the mercenary guild; instead, it had set its sights on the vicinity of Chen Mu and Qing Yi.

Azure Void Battle Qi

Chen Mu, run quickly

With Gu Chen's confirmation, the mercenaries beside him all wore expressions of terror as they retreated backwards

Even though Gu Chen did not want to be a deserter, he was even less inclined to die. In the past, he could rely on Chen Mu's presence to deter Wu Jiao, but now Wu Jiao had clearly gone out of control

The disparity in strength between the two parties is indeed vast. Wu Jiao's strike concentrated most of its internal true energy, and coupled with the anger from previous humiliation, its power was naturally unmatched. In an instant, it shattered the proud Qingyi's Qingming battle aura, striking directly at Qingyi's chest. The battle aura burst apart like shattering glass, scattering in all directions. With the Qingming battle aura broken, Qingyi's body involuntarily soared backward, violently spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood

Zhao Xing raised his sword to block the way

Roar, roar, roar

This is truly the strength of a level four character in the Warcraft universe

With the low murmurs and the rumbling vibrations that followed, the low growls of the witch dragon began to emerge from within, while the lower-level magical beasts deep in the forest also started to scatter in all directions

With his loud shout, the mercenaries who had already fled turned back to look at the figure in blue and the smoke-filled battlefield. After a moment of vigilant observation and finding nothing unusual, they all hurried forward to congratulate the figure in blue for defeating such a powerful magical beast. However, the figure in blue paid no attention to them, clutching his chest with his left hand and casting a doubtful gaze towards the center of the battlefield. How could he have easily defeated a level 4 magical beast without having exerted his full strength? This was simply unbelievable!

but it had no effect at all, and was immediately struck away by the witch's spell

Suddenly, from the dust, three roars echoed through the sky, and the fallen witch dragon abruptly stood up, its body swelling three times in an instant. At this moment, the witch dragon appeared as strong as a small mountain.

"Seeking death!" A cold glint flashed in the azure-clad figure's eyes as she declared, "Qingming Thirteen Styles, Dance of the Azure Garment!" In an instant, the azure energy transformed into countless thread-like streams of fighting spirit, swirling in the sky like a chaotic dance of demons. Anyone touched by each phantom would be utterly crushed to pieces, accompanied by the hissing sound of the air shattering, as the earth began to crack!

The magnificent momentum is such that even the sorceress cannot evade it

In that moment, everyone transformed into the restless souls and wild spirits rolling upon the sea, with no retreat left. Their lives were hanging by a thread. Just as the mercenaries were secretly regretting, Wu Jiao's gaze turned towards Gu Chen and Chen Mu, raising a giant hand and waving it in their direction. Chen Mu shook off Gu Chen's pull beside him, leaped out, and shouted: "Beast, how dare you act so recklessly!"

The Qingyi had no time for further words, hurriedly pushing aside Zhao Xing beside her, and once again raised her sword, the Qingming fighting spirit surging forth once more

Chen Mu and Gu Chen were both startled at the same time, focusing their attention to observe.

With a loud bang, Wu Jiao raised his strong fist and forcefully shattered the azure fighting energy. As the azure fighting energy was broken, Qing Yi was also pushed back by Wu Jiao. Just as the crowd shouted in alarm, they saw Qing Yi's body twist, and the fighting energy that was about to fall transformed in an instant into another type of fighting energy: "Transform, Qing Yi!" With this powerful shout, Wu Jiao was caught off guard, and the fighting energy that had been restraining him suddenly rebounded, striking his entire body accurately with the azure fighting energy.

After a single strike, the other giant claw of the witch dragon followed suit
