Chapter 376: Can Level 5 Be Arrogant?
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Hao Ren didn’t have a deep impression of this girl, but he remembered the large golden snow lion. He searched his memory and recalled that when he came up to Fifth Heaven to attend the Trading Convention with the Lu sisters, he saw this snow lion and this girl.
“Who are you!” Zhao Yanzi was displeased with the girl’s tone.
“Who are you?” Staring at Zhao Yanzi, the girl asked her.
Zhao Yanzi curled her lips. “I asked you first!”
As the princess of the East Ocean Dragon Palace, she wasn’t that arrogant under the discipline of her father, Zhao Guang. However, she was still a little haughty.
“Luojia hit them!” The girl in cyan didn’t say anything back. Instead, she patted the head of her mount.
The level 5 snow lion immediately spat out a ma.s.s of fire.
The power of the level 5 snow lion was equivalent to that of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator; it could burn Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi with half of its strength.
“Sword array formation!” Hao Ren quickly put up a sword array formation.
The 320 sword energies appeared instantly in three layers to block the fire.
Despite his efforts, the heat of the fire burned off a small amount of white hair near Little White’s nose!
The girl in cyan was surprised that Hao Ren had blocked the attack, and his technique with sword energies aroused her interest.
Sitting behind Hao Ren, Zhao Yanzi was furious.
She was haughty, but she never hurt people just because she quarreled with them. However, she was on Fifth Heaven, and her t.i.tle in the East Ocean Dragon Palace was useless here.
She gritted her teeth in a fury, wanting to rush over and pull this girl’s hair.
She didn’t know that this girl in cyan was Duan Yao, the daughter of the sect master of Sky Mountain Sect on Sixth Heaven.
The sects on Sixth Heaven looked down at all the sects on Fifth Heaven, let alone Duan Yao who was the only daughter of the sect master of the influential Sky Mountain Sect.
Except for the few places where Nascent Soul Realm masters were cultivating in seclusion, Duan Yao could go anywhere and do anything she wanted on Fifth Heaven. She could easily deal with any cultivators below the Nascent Soul Realm with her level 5 snow lion, Luojia.
That was why she had little regard for Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi who appeared on Fifth Heaven.
Last night after the White Sand Sect was attacked by powerful enemies who robbed them of spiritual herbs and destroyed their grand hall, Duan Yao, who was playing on Fifth Heaven, got the news and asked for permission from her father to investigate this incident.
She was patrolling around when she sensed the activity of another snow lion through Luojia. When she chased over, she saw Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi.
“Where did you steal this snow lion from?” Duan Yao stared at Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi arrogantly and asked.
The Sky Mountain Sect excelled in raising snow lions, and Duan Yao knew that Little White was a level 2 spirit beast after one glance. Seeing that Hao Ren was not one of the disciples of the Sky Mountain Sect, she immediately became suspicious.
Staring at Hao Ren, she felt like she met him before but couldn’t remember from where. If she didn’t suspect that he was a new disciple that one of her Uncle-Masters had taken from one of the sects on Fifth Heaven, she would have ordered Luojia to launch another more powerful fireball at them.
“Uncle, stop talking to her. Hit her!” Zhao Yanzi urged Hao Ren with fury.
She had never been treated this way before, and she would have rushed over to give this girl a lesson if she had enough cultivation strength.
“You dare to hit me?! Luojia, attack that girl!” Duan Yao pointed at Zhao Yanzi.
The level 5 spirit beast had enough intelligence to understand Duan Yao’s order. It spat out an arrow of flames that was about half a meter long toward Zhao Yanzi.
This fire-elemental attack was even fiercer than the previous fireball attack. Hao Ren immediately circulated his full nature essence and shouted, “One-Line Snake Array Formation!”
The 320 sword energies lined up, forming a long snake and das.h.i.+ng toward the arrow of flame.
Pu! Pu… The arrow of fire that the level 5 snow lion spat out broke the 320 sword energies released by Hao Ren!
At Gen-level, Hao Ren was in between the Core Formation Realm and Nascent Soul Realm. Therefore, his sword array wasn’t able to block the attack from a level 5 spirit beast whose power was equivalent to that of a mid-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.
At this critical moment, Little White s.h.i.+fted instantly and backed off 100 meters with colorful energy flames around its paws!
“You…” Zhao Yanzi glared at Duan Yao furiously; she wanted to cuss but didn’t know what to say.
Seeing that Hao Ren’s sword energies could merge freely and spotting a level 2 spirit beast who could move at such a high speed, Duan Yao clutched Luojia’s fur and sat straighter. “You are good! Oh, I know it! You are the two cultivators who made trouble for the White Sand Sect the first time. One can use sword energies, and the other is a female cultivator…”
Then, she looked at Little White with a sudden understanding, remembering that Luojia had once sensed a snow lion’s presence on Fifth Heaven but couldn’t catch up to it.
Seeing Little White’s movement speed, she yelled, “A level 2 snow lion can move at such a speed! It must be a mutant! Hand over the snow lion, and I’ll spare your lives!”
“You dare to take my Little White by force?!” Zhao Yanzi glared at her. “Little White, attack them!”
Little White lifted its head, and a fireball instantly flew toward Duan Yao.
“How dare you!” Furious, Duan Yan drew out a green jade longsword and slas.h.i.+ng her sword at Zhao Yanzi as Luojia maneuvered and dodged the attack.
Having just reached the Foundation Establishment Realm with no proper technique, Zhao Yanzi was no match for Duan Yao who was already a Core Formation Realm cultivator, and she had to hide behind Hao Ren.
Hao Ren wouldn’t just stand by and watch. He released his sword energies and the hundun G.o.dly lightning to block this attack from this girl.
Buzz!
It looked like Hao Ren caught Duan Yan’s longsword with his hand.
Hiss!
A surge of powerful lightning energy traveled along Duan Yan’s green jade longsword and entered her body.
Hundun G.o.dly lightning could break all of the five elements!
Not able to withstand such shock, Duan Yan let go of her longsword due to the numbness in her arm.
Hao Ren grasped onto Duan Yao’s green jade longsword. Then, with a quick twist of his fingers, he turned the tip of the sword against Duan Yao’s smooth neck.
“Good! Good! Uncle, you are awesome!” Zhao Yanzi shouted.
This series of counterattacks were so smooth that his rival didn’t have time to react, earning great admiration from Zhao Yanzi.
Uncle, uncle… Exasperated, Hao Ren turned his head and looked at Zhao Yanzi but didn’t know what to say.
Not expecting that her longsword would be taken from her in the blink of an eye and she would be held at sword point, Duan Yao was furious and frustrated. Biting her lip, she yelled abruptly, “Luojia!”
The level 5 spirit beast suddenly released its aura!
Little White, with Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi on its back, was bounced hundreds of meters away!
The invisible aura of this level 5 spirit beast froze Little White, who was a level 2 spirit beast, in place.
Meanwhile, a more powerful aura suddenly appeared!
Level 10 demon beast.
Standing on a black disk, Zhen Congming dashed over from thousands of meters away.
Luojia, a level 5 snow lion who was magnificent a moment ago, s.h.i.+vered under such overwhelming suppression.
The aura of a level 5 spirit beast was powerful; even Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi were greatly affected. However, Zhen Congming’s aura was aiming only at this level 5 snow lion, making it unable to circulate any nature essence to escape!
While this level 5 spirit beast bullied Little White like a six-feet tall, st.u.r.dy man bullying a toddler, Zhen Congming bullied this level 5 spirit beast like an eight meters tall giant bullying a mortal!
After all, Little White was not stupid and sent a signal when it was defeated. Immediately, Zhen Congming came to their rescue!
“Luojia, why can’t you move?” Duan Yan shook the golden lion’s head and asked in bafflement.
“Wu… Wu…” the level 5 snow lion, Luojia, let out whimpers of fear.
Duan Yao looked up at the level 2 snow lion in front of her and found Little White wagging its tail smugly.
Zhen Congming was hovering by Little White’s side in stealth on a dharma treasure, and Duan Yao’s cultivation strength wasn’t enough to see through his stealth technique.
The aura of the level 10 demon beast was only targeting Luojia.
Roar!
Little White lifted its head and roared before spitting a fireball at Luojia.
Frozen by Zhen Congming’s aura, the level 5 Luojia couldn’t move and could only let the fireball crash onto its belly.
“Luojia! Luojia! Are you ok?” Duan Yao tensed up as she sat on Luojia’s back.
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
Another three fireb.a.l.l.s dashed toward Luojia and Duan Yao.
Duan Yao lifted her arms to block in a hurry, but a hole was burned through her sleeve. Her arrogance disappeared, and now she looked miserable.
Proudly, Little White circled Luojia and spat out three more fireb.a.l.l.s!
A lot of Luojia’s long golden fur got burned off, and its magnificent look turned ugly.
“Your… Your snow lion is a level 6 spirit beast?!” With a face blackened by the fire, Duan Yao yelled and looked at Hao Ren in astonishment.
In her mind, the most powerful snow lion was her Granduncle-Master’s Jitian, a level 6 snow lion. As a Bin-level demon beast, the highest-level the snow lions could obtain was level 6!
Of course, a level 6 spirit beast had the power equivalent to that of a mid-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. Combining that with spirit beast’s battle instinct, its combat ability was comparable to that of a top-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.
Duan Yao could never imagine that an invisible level 10 demon beast was standing by Hao Ren’s side.
If Zhen Congming transformed back to his original form as a demon beast, his strength was equivalent to a Soul Formation Realm cultivator. Equipped with a G.o.dly beast’s innate abilities, his destruction power was even higher than that of a Soul Formation Realm cultivator!
That was why Luojia didn’t dare to move a muscle.
“Are you from the Sky Mountain Sect?” Hao Ren maneuvered Little White closer to Duan Yao and asked her.
“Kill me, you pervert!” Duan Yao glared at him and yelled.
With Luojia not able to move and her longsword seized by Hao Ren, she couldn’t even move.
Hao Ren froze and stared at her cute face after hearing how this girl addressed him; he had never been called such a name before.
