Chapter 377 So You Are the Savior

It was a statue.

The statue Ji Mo had carved for Ning Wenjing.

At this moment, the statue was radiant, with runes surging and terrifying power churning, transforming into a phantom ten zhang high, ascending into the sky.

The phantom looked exactly like Ning Wenjing, holding a long saber, its entire body glowing, and with immense power, it unleashed a saber strike.

The terrifying saber energy tore through the void, instantly reaching the leader of the shadowy figures.

"What is this? No..."

The leader of the shadowy figures felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, sensing immense danger. He desperately resisted, but it was in vain.

The saber energy, like a rainbow, easily severed his body.

In an instant, he turned into a mist of blood.

A supreme expert of the Mortal Immortal realm was killed with a single saber strike.

"My heavens, Ning Village still has a trump card!"

The burly demon race member, upon witnessing this scene, was almost scared out of his wits.

He immediately transformed into a golden streak of light and fled desperately.

In mid-air, Ning Wenjing's phantom swung her saber again, striking at the other shadowy figures.

She was like a death god from hell; with every saber strike, she reaped a life.

Desperate screams echoed continuously. The villains who had invaded Ning Village were like leeks being harvested, utterly incapable of resisting. They were ruthlessly slaughtered, turning into masses of blood mist.

Everyone in Ning Village was stunned.

They had thought they were doomed tonight, but they never expected such a turn of events.

"I understand, the Savior, the Savior must have appeared."

"Emperor Bai left a prophecy back then: ten thousand years later, a savior would emerge for humanity. Now it has come true."

"To think the Savior would appear in my Ning Clan, and it's Jingjing!"

...

The old women looked at the phantom in the sky and immediately recognized it as Ning Wenjing from the village, their faces filled with excitement.

Killing Mortal Immortal realm experts like slaughtering pigs and dogs, such terrifying strength, if not the Savior, then what else could it be?

Ning Wenjing was also dumbfounded, unable to comprehend what had happened.

She was aware of Emperor Bai's prophecy and had even discussed it heatedly within the clan.

Many had speculated that the Savior was likely the young King of the Southern Region, Luo Li.

This was because Luo Li not only awakened the Human King bloodline but also possessed the Phoenix Undying Body, making him the foremost prodigy in the Xuan Ling Realm. He would undoubtedly become a leader of the human race when he grew up.

But now, the clan members mistakenly believed she was the Savior. How was that possible?

Ning Wenjing had self-awareness; her talent was ordinary. Apart from her excellent archery, she had no other special skills.

She could not be the Savior.

It definitely wasn't her.

She looked up at the phantom in the sky, finding it somewhat familiar. It looked exactly like the statue Ji Mo had given her.

Saber energy crisscrossed the sky, turning Ning Village into a charnel house.

The invading villains thought Ning Village was fish on a chopping block, but they didn't realize they were the real fish, being mercilessly slaughtered.

In the end, except for a few powerful individuals who managed to escape, the rest were cut into blood mist.

After losing the protection of Emperor Bai's statue, Ning Village was not only not in danger, but it had become even safer.

It was believed that after this battle, no one would dare to invade Ning Village again for a considerable time.

"Jingjing, so you are the Savior prophesied by Emperor Bai. With you here, my human race has hope."

The old women, trembling, approached Ning Wenjing. Their cloudy eyes shone with light.

The others also gathered around, their gazes filled with fervent admiration.

"Grandmothers, I really am not. I could never be the Savior."

Ning Wenjing tried to clarify, not wanting to be misunderstood.

"Don't pretend. Although our eyesight is failing, we can clearly see the phantom in the sky. It looks exactly like you, which is the best proof. The enemies have all been eliminated, and you should stop now. Don't waste your energy!"

The old women were stubborn and single-minded.

"It looks exactly like me, but I have a dark spot on my face..."

Ning Wenjing wanted to explain further, but the phantom in the sky suddenly dissipated.

This made everyone even more certain that Ning Wenjing must be connected to the Savior.

"You've really misunderstood. I truly am not."

Ning Wenjing, unable to refute, fled back to her room.

She hurried to check the statue, only to find it ordinary, with no unusual signs.

Holding the statue, Ning Wenjing felt confused.

She had thought the statue had displayed divine power, but she could find no evidence of it.

Ji Mo's fair face surfaced in her mind.

Could he be the Savior of my human race?

At this moment.

Ji Mo was sleeping soundly at Xi Xia Mountain Villa.

Du Mu treated him with great enthusiasm, hosting him with delicacies and arranging the best guest room, showing utmost thoughtfulness.

On the roof of the guest room, a petite figure kept yawning but tried hard to stay alert, observing the surroundings.

"Old hag, with Du Ruier here, you won't be able to sneak in and steal people!"

She clenched her small fists, feeling a sense of mission.

The surrounding on-duty maids couldn't help but stifle their laughter upon seeing this.

Their young lady was truly endearingly foolish, clearly being fooled by the Manor Lord without realizing it.

The Manor Lord had merely mentioned in passing that those two old hags had malicious intentions and might sneak in at midnight to steal Ji Mo, telling her to keep a close watch.

As a result, the young lady had taken it seriously and had been guarding on the roof all night.

"Miss, guarding like this will still lead to oversights. I've heard that old hag knows profound遁术 (dùn shù - escape techniques), be careful they don't sneak in from underground to steal him. It would be safer for you to guard inside the room."

A bold maid, enjoying the spectacle, incited her.

After all, the Manor Lord had given instructions that the dark-skinned man in the room was the future son-in-law, and he should be well attended to.

Since that was the case, she might as well let the young lady interact more with the son-in-law.

After hearing the maid's words, Du Ruier nodded in agreement, "You make a lot of sense. I'll go and guard now. I can't let the old hag steal my ugly fellow!"

She immediately jumped to the ground, opened Ji Mo's room door, and walked in.

Ji Mo was fast asleep on the bed, clearly unaware that someone had entered.

"Tsk, sleeping like a pig."

Du Ruier walked to Ji Mo's bedside, showing great disdain.

During the day, she hadn't looked at Ji Mo properly, but now, while he was asleep, she boldly began to examine him.

Then she discovered that, apart from his dark skin, this ugly fellow had good facial features and was quite pleasant to look at.

Although still ugly, compared to someone like Jin Cheng, this ugly fellow was more pleasing to the eye.

"With your ugly appearance, you'll definitely never find a wife and will be a bachelor forever. Yet you have the nerve to call me small, to say my 'that place' is small. I'll show you!"

Du Ruier was still bothered by Ji Mo's words from earlier. Puffing out her chest, which was not small, she pointed at Ji Mo's nose and reprimanded him.

Then, she noticed a black mark on Ji Mo's collarbone, which was very strange.

Du Ruier did not recognize the Heavenly Demon Mark and curiously extended her slender index finger to poke it.

With that poke, trouble ensued.

She felt as if she had been electrocuted, her vision went black, and she fainted on the bed.
