Chapter 369: Seventh-Grade Saint Beast
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Feeling the threat emanating from beneath the ground, Gu Qingluan lowered her gaze and was met by a gaping maw.
The pitch-black throat resembled an endless abyss, with gleaming white teeth exposed, each as long as a person.
Between those white teeth, a blood-red, forked tongue darted rapidly toward her.
The tongue’s tip split into two sharp blades.
Gu Qingluan conjured a longsword in her hand and swung it at the pointed tongue.
Sizzle!
The tongue was soft and slippery, and the sharp sword failed to leave a wound on it. Instead, it slid down along the tongue.
The Giant Emperor Lizard seized the opportunity, rolling her into its mouth!
Not far away, Xiao Jingye’s eyes lit up.
Success!
Who would have thought that suddenly, a man in white robes appeared out of thin air and punched the Giant Emperor Lizard in the back.
The Giant Emperor Lizard howled in pain, and its mouth involuntarily opened wide.
Whoosh!
A white light shot out from its mouth.
It was Gu Qingluan!
Xiao Jingye sighed and clenched his fist.
Why didn’t she die?
Feng Tianlan, on the other hand, observed her with interest.
Gu Qingluan stood suspended in mid-air and, noticing Feng Tianlan not far away, asked in surprise, “Why are you here?”
Didn’t he agree to hide himself?
If the Cloaked Ones discovered his ident.i.ty, it would surely bring great trouble.
Currently, although there were many Dingbei Army soldiers, she believed she could handle them. However, if more Saints were to join the battle, the situation would become unpredictable.
Feng Tianlan’s gaze swept over her from head to toe, confirming that nothing was amiss, and then he relaxed his furrowed brows. “You’re in danger.”
Gu Qingluan’s heart seemed to skip a beat.
He risked coming up here because she was in danger? Even if it meant potentially exposing his ident.i.ty and attracting the attention of those Cloaked Ones?
Gu Qingluan had been saved by Feng Tianlan before, but this time, it touched her in a way it hadn’t before.
However, before she could fully process her emotions, the agitated Giant Emperor Lizard went on a rampage. Its long, spiky tail swung toward them, and it simultaneously spat out a three-yard-long tongue to attack them.
Feng Tianlan’s expression turned serious. “Be careful!”
He kicked the tail of the Giant Emperor Lizard while simultaneously keeping an eye on her.
Gu Qingluan swiftly dodged the Giant Emperor Lizard’s long tongue and swung her sword at it.
With one wielding a sword and the other using bare fists, they engaged in a fierce battle with the Giant Emperor Lizard.
This Giant Emperor Lizard was a saint beast, a seventh-grade saint beast, possessing formidable combat prowess.
In the past, it could be described as invincible.
But now, it was crying out in pain and fleeing in embarra.s.sment after being beaten by Gu Qingluan and the man for just a moment. It had lost all its initial imposing aura.
Xiao Jingye watched this scene from afar in astonishment.
“Where did these two freaks come from?”
Especially the man, he was an absolute freak!
He didn’t use any weapons; a single punch could break through the incredibly tough outer skin of the Giant Emperor Lizard. Such divine power!
Xiao Jingye, who had originally been in a winning position, now had a grim expression and no longer looked pleased.
He looked toward the direction of the city gate.
His expression finally improved somewhat.
It’s okay, if they can hold off these two big freaks, it will buy time for the Dingbei Army. Once they break into the city, he will be halfway to success!
With a stern gaze, Xiao Jingye glanced at the battlefield and then discreetly hid himself.
On the other side, Yin Qing, who was using Li Tianhao as a hostage, taunted, “It seems no one cares about whether you live or die.”
Li Tianhao stood tall with his back straight as a sword, disdainfully ignoring Yin Qing’s words.
“Now that you have no more value…”
Yin Qing was in the middle of his sentence when he suddenly froze, lifting his head to look in Feng Tianlan’s direction.
A familiar power.
Could it be…
Yin Qing’s eyes instantly brightened, and his heart raced.
“I don’t have time to play with you anymore. I’ll send you on your way first. If you want to blame someone, blame those heartless folks like Gu Qingluan.”
After saying that, Yin Qing’s fingers, which were gripping Li Tianhao’s neck, suddenly exerted force.
Clang!
A blade of a sword appeared before Yin Qing.
Feeling the power of the sword, Yin Qing hurriedly dodged.
Li Tianhao was dragged back several meters by him, his face turning purple.
Gu Qingluan, holding the Heavenly Heart Qin, flew over. Her long hair, tied at the back of her head, danced in the wind, radiating a heroic aura.
She coldly fixed her gaze on Yin Qing and said with parted lips, “Release him!”
