What An Lin didn’t expect was that Meng Zhi had already made up her mind that he was some mighty figure in disguise.
What Meng Zhi was basically implying was that she had already taken care of the enemy, so she didn’t want to bother a mighty figure like An Lin any longer, and she would like to take her leave if he allowed it.
Xu Xiaolan was also looking at Meng Zhi with a confused expression. If she didn’t already know that Meng Zhi was in love with the cross-dressing Chen Qinghang, she would be pulling out her Dragon Sparrow Sword to interrogate An Lin about whether there was something going on between Meng Zhi and him.
An Lin felt like Meng Zhi was probably looking for some praise, so he raised his thumb with approval. “Very good. You have done well, and I appreciate you!”
Xu Xiaolan: “…”
Meng Zhi took a deep breath to calm herself down.
She was constantly reminding herself internally not to be impulsive and to not get angry at the man standing before her…
“If there’s nothing else for me to do, then I’ll be taking my leave.” Meng Zhi forced a smile onto her face.
An Lin faltered upon hearing this, and only now did he understand what Meng Zhi’s words had meant.
Wow… Was he so bad*ss now that even Meng Zhi was scared of him?
Just the thought of it filled him with a sense of accomplishment.
Naturally, he wasn’t going to keep Meng Zhi any longer. After all, this was a battlefield between the snow maidens and the Opposite Sh.o.r.e Realm forces. The Great Empress and another Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure were still nearby, so it would be best for them to minimize conflict and play it safe.
“Alright.” An Lin nodded. “Then we’ll…”
He didn’t even get a chance to finish his sentence before the entire world became black and white.
A frightening chill suddenly enveloped his entire body, as if he had accidentally stumbled upon the land of the dead.
An Lin and Xu Xiaolan’s hearts jolted in shock. This was a familiar power they had once experienced in Bai Hu City of the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool!
The sound of ethereal singing drifted through the air while reverberating between heaven and earth.
A ma.s.sive green path with the appearance of a river stretched out in the sky to infinity and beyond.
Countless semi-transparent beasts trudged forward like a tidal wave, at the center of which stood four humanoid goats over ten thousand feet tall and with black fur running all over their bodies. Between them, they were carrying a humongous carriage.
“Hmm? How was the Dark Sorcery Ghost reduced to such a pitiful state?”
An ethereal voice imbued with boundless might sounded. The voice was tinged with a hint of astonishment and incredulity.
“Huh… Where is the Evil Chaotic Dragon Bone?”
The ma.s.sive carriage suddenly halted.
An Lin and the others felt an extremely terrifying will descend upon them.
At this moment, the sky in the distance suddenly became blue and white.
A crisp voice imbued with a paramount regal might said, “Ghost Emperor Po Jun, run away if you’re going to, but don’t even think about hurting the little ones!”
A blue sword projection parted the heavens, leaving a world of snow and ice in its wake as it hurtled toward the carriage.
A cold harrumph sounded from within the carriage as a barrier that appeared to be constructed from emeralds instantly took shape.
The blue sword projection struck the barrier, upon which boundless sword intent erupted, pulverizing the s.p.a.ce in a radius of over a thousand meters and slaying countless semi-transparent beasts at once.
The black curtain fabric draped over the front of the carriage was slowly lifted, and a finger extended from within.
An Lin felt as if that finger was imbued with a boundless might. It rendered him completely immobilized.
A green light gathered at the tip of the finger before transforming into a hundred feet long arrow!
The arrow shot forth and pierced through s.p.a.ce at an alarming speed. An Lin and the others didn’t even have a chance to react before it struck Meng Zhi’s Ice G.o.ddess Seal!
Boom!
The blue halo cracked open, and the bloodcurdling cry from the Ghost Tribe mighty figure, the Dark Sorcery Ghost, erupted from within.
An Lin was surprised to find that the Dark Sorcery Ghost’s vitality was quickly fading away.
“Dark Sorcery Ghost, the Great Empress has already arrived, so I won’t be able to save you. You can serve me in another state of existence.”
Ghost Emperor Po Jun’s voice sounded from within the carriage.
The ma.s.sive army of semi-transparent beasts continued onward.
They appeared to be moving quite slowly, but they were covering several dozen kilometers per second, as if the distance on the green river path was different from the distance within the black-and-white world.
An inky-black ghost with no hint of life energy materialized beside the carriage before bowing its head in a respectful and obedient display.
This was the deceased Dark Sorcery Ghost.
“Great Empress, I will remember the Dark Sorcery Ghost And Evil Chaotic Dragon Bone you have taken from me.”
Ghost Emperor Po Jun’s words were completely emotionless, but they engraved themselves into everyone’s heart.
The beast tide army slowly faded into the distance before disappearing from view.
Another extremely terrifying aura flew through the sky like a comet in pursuit of the beast tide army.
An Lin finally heaved a long sigh of relief upon seeing this.
Thankfully, they were not the Great Empress’s targets. Otherwise, things were going to be very tricky.
Color returned to the black-and-white world.
Meng Zhi also looked up at the sky in the distance with fear lingering in her heart.
She was only one step away from the Dao Integration Stage, but as long as she wasn’t at Dao Integration Stage yet, there was a ma.s.sive gulf that stood between her and any mighty figure that had actually reached the Dao Integration Stage.
If Ghost Emperor Po Jun had been determined to kill her, then she would have most likely died even with the Great Empress nearby.
Xu Xiaolan helped An Lin up from the ground.
An Lin’s hands and legs were still trembling, for no reason other than the fact that the black dragon had completely depleted all of his energy, and then took some more for good measure.
Meng Zhi was still here, and the threat of the Divine Bat Emperor was still very much hanging over their heads. As he was in his current condition, it would probably be difficult for him to recover even if he were given half a month.
There was no way around it…
An Lin’s storage ring flashed, and a regenerative sixth-grade immortal pill appeared in his hand, from which emanated astonis.h.i.+ng energy fluctuations. A pained expression appeared on his face, but he still swallowed the pill in the end.
He couldn’t afford to rest now. He had to stand up!
Boom!
A green divine halo appeared over his head, and the second stage Evergreen Technique was activated to its maximum. The power within the immortal pill was absorbed by his body at an extremely fast rate while vital energy along with life energy converged toward An Lin in waves.
Meng Zhi’s golden eyes widened in amazement. What an astonis.h.i.+ng regenerative ability!
Only a few minutes had pa.s.sed before An Lin was once again fit as a fiddle.
The immortal pill contributed to this, but the monstrous regenerative and absorption abilities that the second stage Evergreen Technique had granted him was a more important factor.
Dongfang Zhuangs.h.i.+ made his way toward An Lin. He then said in a low voice, “We have to go. Ghost Emperor Po Jun and the Divine Bat Emperor are quite close. Our cover might be blown soon…”
An Lin immediately stirred upon hearing this!
The battle had been too intense, and he had forgotten about this.
He immediately nodded. “We’re not exactly on friendly terms with the snow maidens either. Thankfully, the Great Empress ignored us, but we really do need to go now.”
Everyone was just about to set off when an exquisitely beautiful woman in a golden imperial robe appeared beside Meng Zhi.
Even though she had completely repressed her aura, everyone was still instantly rooted to the spot.
This was the most powerful being among the snow maidens, the Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure, the Great Empress!
Dongfang Zhuangs.h.i.+’s eyelids twitched. “Why do you have to jinx everything? We could’ve left here without any trouble if you hadn’t uttered your last sentence!”
An Lin: “…”
The Great Empress recognized An Lin, and her beautiful eyes lit up slightly.
However, she was a little confused with regard to what was going on, and she turned to the woman beside her. “Meng Zhi, tell me what happened.”
