Chapter 5693: Bai Shishi vs. Hou Tianwu
"Under the seat of Long Chen, Commander-in-Chief of the Dragon Blood Legion, Guo Ran, please enlighten me!"
Guo Ran, with one arm covered by battle armor, casually caught that terrifyingly powerful strike as if it were nothing.
"To hell with your Long Chen's seat, all of you can go to hell..."
The leader of the demon clan roared in anger. He couldn't stand those four words "Long Chen's seat" today. He felt that there was nothing in the world that he despised more than these words.
"Boom boom boom..."
The leader of the demon clan swung his battle axe and crazily attacked Guo Ran. Guo Ran blocked it with his arm without stepping back. In an instant, the astral wind surged, and amidst flying sand and rolling stones, the figures of the two were engulfed.
On the other side, Hou Tianwu took a step forward, appearing before the Purple Pupil Nine-Tailed Fox like a bolt of lightning. At this moment, it had lost its true form that spanned thousands of miles, shrinking to the size of a rabbit. It had multiple wounds on its body, and its aura was extremely weak.
"Die, you bastard!"
Hou Tianwu smashed down with a cudgel.
"Boom"
However, just as he raised the golden giant blade, it intersected with the golden staff in the void, creating a collision that sent forth a brilliant divine radiance, illuminating the entire world. Every living being on the battlefield was bathed in the golden glow, as if they were in a world of gold.
As the dazzling golden light faded, people could finally see a beautiful figure that had appeared before Hou Tianwu, seemingly out of nowhere. The woman was dressed in a golden gown, possessing a graceful and slender figure. Her long black hair had also been tinted with a golden hue.
At this moment, Bai Shishi appeared like a golden goddess, with nine majestic golden dragons dancing behind her. Faint roars of dragons could be heard emanating from them. Standing behind Bai Shishi was a massive figure, a woman adorned in golden battle armor, wielding a golden longsword. It was her sword that had intercepted Hou Tianwu's terrifying strike.
"Xiao Yue, take Xiao Jiu to the medical team for treatment, quickly!" Bai Shishi faced Hou Tianwu and shouted to Bai Xiaoyue behind her.
It turned out that in the instant Bai Shishi took action, Bai Xiaoyue had also arrived. However, Bai Shishi had acted a step faster, fearing that Bai Xiaoyue couldn't withstand the strike from this horrifying presence.
Seeing his sister blocking Hou Tianwu's attack, Bai Xiaoyue felt concerned for her safety. After all, the current Hou Tianwu was under the control of his father.
But at this moment, Xiao Jiu was in critical condition and needed immediate attention to avoid a life-threatening situation.
"Sis, be careful. I'll be there in an instant," Bai Xiaoyue said, lifting Xiao Jiu and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Trying to escape?"
Seeing Bai Xiaoyue attempting to leave, Hou Tianwu let out a cold sneer. His other large hand reached into the void with force, attempting to disrupt the space and stop Bai Xiaoyue.
"Boom"
However, before his hand could fully move, a golden shield descended forcefully, accompanied by a deafening explosion. Hou Tianwu's body trembled violently as he was pushed back two steps by the impact of the golden shield.
"Your opponent is me. If you want to touch him, you'll have to get past me first," Bai Shishi said coldly.
Hou Tianwu then realized that the golden goddess behind Bai Shishi was holding a golden sword in one hand and a golden shield in the other. A boundless surge of golden power radiated from her, and her immense aura caused the heavens and earth to shift.
"Then I'll just take care of you first."
Hou Tianwu was both shocked and furious. He took a step forward, gripping his golden staff with both hands. A trail of golden light streaked across the sky, creating a river of stars, and the ferocious power shattered countless laws.
Bai Shishi's expression shifted slightly. She rapidly formed hand seals, and suddenly her figure disappeared, reappearing on the forehead of the golden goddess. In an instant, she merged with the golden goddess.
"Buzz"
The once-closed eyes of the golden goddess suddenly opened, causing the ground beneath her to shake violently. A golden lotus flower rapidly bloomed at her feet, spanning tens of thousands of miles in an instant, covering half of the battlefield.
"Boom"
At that very moment, Hou Tianwu's golden staff came crashing down. The golden goddess swung her shield to block, resulting in a thunderous explosion that caused a large portion of the battlefield to sink abruptly.
"What?"
Hou Tianwu was greatly surprised. The power of this strike was almost inferior to the one that had severely injured the Purple Pupil Nine-Tailed Fox, and yet it had been caught by her. However, cracks had appeared on the golden shield of the golden goddess due to the force of this terrifying attack.
Seeing this, Hou Tianwu was about to launch another attack. As long as the golden shield shattered, the golden goddess wouldn't be able to withstand his power at all. However, just as he was about to exert his force, he realized that a golden hand had grabbed the other end of his staff, leaving Hou Tianwu astonished.
"Let go of me!"
Hou Tianwu roared in anger, wildly swinging the golden staff, but the golden goddess held onto it and wouldn't release her grip.
"Boom boom boom..."
The two struggled, causing the earth to tremble incessantly. The golden radiance was akin to a blossoming sun, and the terrifying pressure kept impacting the void, creating an incredibly awe-inspiring scene.
Bai Shishi, fused with the golden goddess, entered a tug-of-war with Hou Tianwu. Bai Shishi could see that all of Hou Tianwu's father's power stemmed from this golden staff. As long as she held onto it, it would be difficult for him to create any significant impact.
Bai Shishi's hand seemed to merge with the golden staff, and the two colossal figures fiercely contested each other, neither willing to let go. They had entered a stalemate.
Meanwhile, on Bai Xiaoyue's side, he brought Xiao Jiu back to the core of the Dragon Blood Legion's camp. The life force of the medical warriors was infused into Xiao Jiu's body, and the wounds on Xiao Jiu's body were visibly healing at a rapid pace.
Not only was Xiao Jiu's injuries healing, but even the expended source power was rapidly increasing. When Bai Xiaoyue witnessed this scene, he felt ecstatic.
At this moment, the little fox slowly opened its eyes, tears still glistening in them. Seeing Bai Xiaoyue, who was now beaming with a smile upon its awakening, the little fox couldn't help but choke up and say, "Xiao Yue, I'm sorry."
"Xiao Jiu, why are you saying that?" Bai Xiaoyue was taken aback.
"I'm sorry. I was too ignorant, too willful. I thought I had grown up and gained the strength for revenge, but the reality proved otherwise. I'm nothing at all; I can't even kill my enemies." The little fox cried sorrowfully.
When its inflated confidence was ruthlessly shattered, it finally saw the harsh reality. There were many in the Dragon Blood Legion stronger than itself. How could it have the qualifications to be so arrogant?
Thinking about its previous arrogant behavior, it felt utterly ashamed and even wished it could just die to spare itself from the humiliation.
"Hehe, that's not true. The leader said you're very powerful, and nobody holds anything against you," Xiao Yue chuckled.
"Really? The leader truly said that?" Xiao Jiu asked excitedly.
Thinking about how it had acted arrogantly in front of Long Chen, it was afraid it had no face to continue staying in the Dragon Blood Legion, and it was also deeply saddened for dragging Bai Xiaoyue into this mess. Now, Bai Xiaoyue's words filled Xiao Jiu with hope, and it stared intently at Bai Xiaoyue.
Bai Xiaoyue chuckled, "Of course, the leader said that your strength comes from having me."
Hearing Bai Xiaoyue's words, Xiao Jiu's face immediately grew solemn. Making jokes at a time like this wasn't funny at all.
"Really, the leader said that our strength is because of each other. Although you can't defeat that old guy, it's because our powers haven't fully merged yet," Bai Xiaoyue explained hurriedly when he saw the change in the little fox's expression.
"Merged?"
The little fox's emotions became complex. It had forgotten that their most powerful state was achieved only when it merged with Bai Xiaoyue. Previously, due to a disagreement with Bai Xiaoyue, they had been fighting separately.
"Xiao Yue, you're not angry with me, right?" The little fox asked nervously.
"Of course, I was angry!" Bai Xiaoyue replied. Seeing the little fox's eyes instantly dim, he continued with a smile, "But I'm over it now, and I don't hold grudges. We'll merge and fight together again later."
"Okay."
Hearing Bai Xiaoyue's words, Xiao Jiu's excitement surged once again.
"Boom"
Just at that moment, a loud explosion resonated throughout the area, and when Bai Xiaoyue and the others looked towards Bai Shishi in the distance, they couldn't help but be astonished.
