Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Zhuo Tingqiu’s situation at this mont was indeed not very good. Ever since he parted ways with Gu Qingqing last ti, he had been eager to get to know Gu Qingqing and Si Lin. To his surprise, they left the next day. He used so ans to learn from the City Lord Mansion that Si Lin’s sect would occasionally help Qingfeng City handle things they couldn’t deal with. So he thought of staying longer in Qingfeng City.
His cultivation had broken through not long ago, and afterwards, he thought of training himself in the Ten Thousand Miles Mountains, so that next ti he t Gu Qingqing, he could show off his cultivation.
The days before had been relatively smooth, and because of this, he beca a bit arrogant, unconsciously leading people deeper into the Ten Thousand Miles Mountains. As a result, he was unlucky and encountered a Fiery Fla Leopard at the peak of the fifth stage, which was in a rage because its cub had been stolen!
This placed everyone in a tough battle.
When Gu Qingqing saw him, he had already been fighting the Fiery Fla Leopard for a day. The Fiery Fla Leopard seed convinced they had stolen its cub, remaining in a state of rage. Everyone in their group was injured. The most frightening part was that the commotion from their fight had alard so other demon beasts, which were now eyeing them covetously!
Zhuo Tingqiu was only ten years old. Although his previous experiences had matured him a lot, facing the threat of death again, he couldn’t remain calm. Though he gritted his teeth and held on, the fear and despair in his eyes couldn’t be disguised.
"Young Master, in a mont we will hold off the Fiery Fla Leopard, you take the opportunity to use the Teleportation Talisman to get out of here, you must escape this ti!" a guard wiped the blood from his mouth, his eyes fixed on the Fiery Fla Leopard, but his words were directed at Zhuo Tingqiu.
Zhuo Tingqiu had a Teleportation Talisman in his hands, but only one, given how precious such items were. He had brought only one with him this ti. The guards had previously suggested he use it to leave first, but he refused. This ti, he refused again.
"No, I will never abandon you!" Zhuo Tingqiu gritted his teeth, wiped away the tears about to fall, and said firmly.
The guards, though moved, were also sowhat angered. They had been trained by the Zhuo Family from a young age, and in their hearts, Zhuo Tingqiu’s safety was paramount. Now that they were in danger, they naturally prioritized ensuring Zhuo Tingqiu’s safety. The Fiery Fla Leopard was clearly on the verge of madness. If they didn’t let Zhuo Tingqiu leave quickly, they feared he would die here today!
Just as the Fiery Fla Leopard knocked away the guards attacking it and charged towards Zhuo Tingqiu, a ball of fla blocked its path, bringing joy and surprise to Zhuo Tingqiu and his group.
Mu Chen landed on the ground, wielding a Red Fla Spear, with Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu following closely.
Seeing Gu Qingqing’s figure, Zhuo Tingqiu’s expression was complicated, with surprise, joy, and shyness.
But ultimately, his joy at seeing Gu Qingqing again overwheld all else. He suddenly burst into astonishing speed, rushed in front of Gu Qingqing, and hugged her tightly.
Before Gu Qingqing could react, Zhuo Tingqiu was thrown aside by Jun Wu, who was beside her.
"Who are you? What do you want?" Jun Wu glared at Zhuo Tingqiu on the ground, asking coldly.
Zhuo Tingqiu was a bit dazed from the fall, completely unable to comprehend what had happened. Seeing Jun Wu’s expressionless face, he shivered, suddenly coming to his senses and realizing what he had done, his dirty face instantly flushed red, even his neck turning red.
He stood up from the ground, dusted off his clothes, and quickly explained to Gu Qingqing, "I was a bit too forward just now. I was just a bit too excited. I don’t know if you rember , but last ti in Qingfeng City, you and your senior brother rescued . I was just very excited to see you—"
The more anxious Zhuo Tingqiu beca, the less clearly he could speak, and Jun Wu’s face grew darker. Fortunately, Gu Qingqing understood his aning.
She blinked and stopped Jun Wu from hitting Zhuo Tingqiu again, gesturing with her hands.
[I rember this little brother. He probably didn’t do it on purpose.]
Jun Wu could now understand Gu Qingqing’s gestures. Knowing that Gu Qingqing recognized Zhuo Tingqiu, his expression softened slightly, but only a little. He was still sowhat upset about Zhuo Tingqiu hugging Gu Qingqing earlier and looked at Zhuo Tingqiu with unfriendly eyes.
Zhuo Tingqiu didn’t quite understand Gu Qingqing’s gestures, but he was clever. Seeing Jun Wu’s expression, he realized that Gu Qingqing probably still rembered him, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Roar!"
Just as Zhuo Tingqiu was about to reminisce with Gu Qingqing, the Fiery Fla Leopard roared angrily from the side, startling him. Rembering the formidable Fiery Fla Leopard, he was about to pull Gu Qingqing to leave, but when his gaze fell on the Fiery Fla Leopard, he was stunned again.
"This..." At this mont, Zhuo Tingqiu was at a loss for words, not knowing what to say.
The once formidable Fiery Fla Leopard, which had easily overwheld Zhuo Tingqiu and his group, was now no match for Mu Chen. Mu Chen, wielding the Red Fla Spear, left the Fiery Fla Leopard with no room to retaliate.
The guards accompanying Zhuo Tingqiu were also astonished to see Mu Chen single-handedly suppress the Fiery Fla Leopard. The Fiery Fla Leopard was an existence at the peak of the fifth stage, yet it was being beaten so easily.
Of course, this wasn’t to say that no one could defeat the Fiery Fla Leopard, as there were indeed many experts at the peak of the sixth stage on the continent. However, those experts were usually quite old, while Mu Chen appeared so young yet was so powerful, which was what truly shocked them.
Just as Mu Chen was about to end the fight, the Fiery Fla Leopard suddenly let out an angry roar. Its body inflated like a balloon, its eyes full of hatred staring at Mu Chen.
"No good, it’s about to self-destruct!" Mu Chen’s face changed, and just as he was about to act, he heard a "boom" — the Fiery Fla Leopard’s body exploded.
Centered on the Fiery Fla Leopard’s body, the surrounding area was devastated as if a typhoon had passed through. Zhuo Tingqiu’s guards, already injured, were hit by the aftermath of the explosion and fainted one by one. Zhuo Tingqiu also spat out a mouthful of blood, clutching his chest and kneeling on one knee.
In the crucial mont, Jun Wu took out the Array Plate he had earlier, protecting both him and Gu Qingqing from harm.
Mu Chen, in a mont of crisis, summoned a sea of fire to shield himself, sustaining only minor injuries. He instinctively looked towards Gu Qingqing’s direction, and upon seeing her protected by Jun Wu, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Just when everyone thought the danger had passed, a black vortex suddenly appeared where the Fiery Fla Leopard had self-destructed, swallowing them all before they could react.
