Chapter 405 Fierce Battle

Clearly, the other party could no longer be considered human, completely controlled by hatred!

"Boom!!"

When the other party was less than ten meters away from Jin Bao'er, Jin Bao'er moved abruptly. Her afterimage hadn't moved, but her figure had already appeared on the other side. At the same time, the figure flying rapidly through the air directly smashed into the ground with a deafening roar…

The earth trembled, directly blasted into a circular pit about a thousand meters in diameter. The lowest point in the center even showed faint signs of water seeping out. Clearly… the earth's veins had been pierced! That blow was definitely capable of taking a life.

Jin Bao'er saw it clearly, and her heart couldn't help but shrink. Her gaze fell on the figure slowly rising from the water, and she felt a surge of fear! Fortunately, she had dodged in time. Linglang Liuli's move was completely a case of hurting the enemy by a thousand and oneself by eight hundred!

Even she, if hit head-on, would have lost half her life!

At this moment, the trembling figure finally straightened up, looked up at Jin Bao'er in mid-air, a frenzy in her eyes mingled with an intensely passionate excitement…

Seeing that look, Jin Bao'er's sense of crisis exploded! Then, she suddenly remembered something, and her body gradually relaxed!

Their gazes met again, and they both remained in place for a moment…

The next instant, two figures appeared simultaneously in the center, fists meeting! Under the direct collision of force against force…

"Bang!" "Boom!"

A muffled sound of impact suddenly erupted in the air, and the air fell into a brief stagnation, followed by a powerful surge of airflow sweeping in all directions, astonishing and fierce!

An indescribable fluctuation of power directly caused the entire sky to tremble violently, clouds dissipated! Fierce winds arose! Heavy rain poured down…

Then, the sounds of impact kept reaching their ears, ceaseless, without the slightest pause, and their figures disappeared. Other than the sounds and traces of power fluctuations proving their existence, there was nothing else!

No one could see their exact positions, nor could they possibly track their movements. They could only lie on the ground trembling! The sect's great formation had already been shattered by the violent explosions, and the entire small island was no longer protected…

Meanwhile, in the outside world, the sounds of abnormal changes in the heavens and earth were incessant. The sky was unpredictable, yet all of this was confined to that particular region, starkly different from other parts of the Upper Realm, like the distinction between hell and the mortal world.

All those who sensed the anomaly in the sect couldn't suppress their curiosity and quietly approached! The patriarchs of the seven great families, who had just left the sect not long ago, were even more bewildered and confused!

Foshan…

The delicate and refined young man stood in place, gazing at the distant horizon with compassionate eyes. Even from such a distance, he could still clearly feel the fluctuations of those two powers!

The Buddha's son was stunned, then his eyes widened abruptly, filled with disbelief! His body was stiff, not moving at all.

"This… this aura?! She… how could she… what on earth happened? The sect…"

Fragmented words escaped his mouth, proving the turmoil and shock he felt at the moment!

Until several other bald monks not far away were also shocked and couldn't help but ask.

"This aura… is a bit like that fairy!"

It was a bit like, but not exactly the same! Currently, one of these auras was much stronger than Jin Bao'er's. After all, they had felt Jin Bao'er's power at the Artifact Refining Sect before, and it wasn't this strong when they felt it at the sect! This definitely wasn't Jin Bao'er's!

Unless… she had hidden her strength before!

"You say, could it be her?"

Another monk couldn't help but ask, his expression hopeful!

"It's not impossible! After all, it was the body that was taken, but once the soul becomes strong enough, why would it care about a mere shell?"

This sentence clearly reached the Buddha's son's ears, completely shattering the last shred of his unease! His face suddenly turned deathly pale! He was lost and clueless…

That's right! Her body was taken, but the power of her soul couldn't be taken away! They hadn't confirmed the other party's death, so how could they conclude they had lost?

"It's her! It must be her!"

He gritted his teeth, closed his eyes abruptly, and his tone was exceptionally firm and complex!

In response, the other monks who heard the Buddha's son's words showed no reaction, their expressions indifferent!

Clearly, his earlier decision to abandon Chi Tong had been seen by everyone, and resentment had festered in their hearts…

Seeing that no one paid him any attention, the Buddha's son looked up, but only saw their backs. They were also looking at the distant sky, no longer harboring any intention to protect the Buddha's son.

* * *

The two fought fiercely, both sustaining wounds. Jin Bao'er's clothes were tattered, and her lips, arms, and legs were all stained with crimson…

Especially after sensing the destructive power of the opponent, she decisively withdrew her Soul Slasher!

It was a joke; a monster with such destructive power, the Soul Slasher definitely wouldn't be able to withstand it. After all, the Soul Slasher was an offensive immortal artifact, and in a sense, its offense was much stronger than its defense! If Jin Lingdang were here, she might have been able to endure it.

The opponent also had wounds of various sizes, looking even more miserable than Jin Bao'er. Because it was a puppet body, the blood quickly stopped flowing, leaving only torn flesh…

On the other side of the small island…

The red-haired maiden stood in place, her gaze anxiously fixed on the sky not far away. The powerful collisions seemed to strike her heart, filled with urgency and worry!

A hand reached out! Her voice was firm and elegant.

"Trust her! Enemies like that are not something we can interfere with. If we rush in, we'll only become a burden to her."

That's right!

As Jin Bao'er grew, she was now at the peak of the Heavenly Dao King realm and would soon advance to the Heavenly Dao Emperor realm. Meanwhile, they, a few demonic and divine beasts, were only at the peak of the Heavenly Dao Saint realm, seemingly forever unable to catch up.

Jin Huang was stunned, her proud heart filled with a sense of loss and complexity!

Seeing this, the woman couldn't help but understand. As divine beasts, their clan was naturally arrogant, yet they were coveted and desired, facing constant danger… forcing them to reside in the lower realms.

"Afraid you can't keep up with your master's pace?"

Jin Huang looked up abruptly, meeting the woman's gentle and loving gaze.

"Silly child, I also had this concern. But he once said that true strong individuals never abandon their companions because they are weak! Because… their dignity doesn't allow it! Protection and trust are the most important things."

"Therefore, you must believe her!"

Jin Huang paused, then seemed to realize something! The few little ones eavesdropping outside the door, acting in the same way, were stunned!

Because of the barrier left by Jin Bao'er, this pavilion remained intact even when the island was bombarded and shaken!

Seeing this, the woman smiled, a touch of melancholy in her heart! If her master were still alive, he would surely look at her with a smiling gaze and say, "Of course! I'm going to be one of the top men in this world!"

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a deafening roar, a lightning bolt hundreds of meters long suddenly struck from the sky!
