Xia Yanbing and the others were utterly shocked.
Qin Yi had brought Diudiu back and mentioned that it was a young Divine Beast, but no one took it seriously. Divine Beasts were too ethereal, and no one had a real concept of them.
However, Diudiu was just too cute, and everyone liked this new member.
But nobody expected that Diudiu would be so terrifying, able to maim a mid-stage Divine Separation powerhouse.
"Awoo~"
Diudiu let out a soft, puppy-like growl, not scary at all.
However, Nan Haoyuan was terrified to his core.
Fear gave way to anger, and he roared, raising a hand to smack Diudiu, intending to crush the little creature into meat paste.
The terrifying Palm Wind caused cracks to appear on the ground.
"Diudiu..."
Liu Yiren shouted in a panic as the ground cracked under the pressure of the Palm Wind. How could Diudiu withstand such a blow? She rushed forward desperately.
But it was too late.
"Boom!"
Diudiu was struck by the Palm Wind, its tiny body flattened like dough on the ground, with cracks spreading around it.
"Diudiu..."
Liu Yiren cried out in distress. Diudiu liked to stick to her, and she loved to have Diudiu accompany her wherever she went.
Seeing Diudiu plastered on the ground like a piece of paper, her heart was breaking.
"Bang!"
Nan Haoyuan raised a hand and knocked the charging Liu Yiren aside, sending her flying with a spurt of blood.
Despite being injured, he was still a Divine Separation stage powerhouse, far beyond Liu Yiren's ability to contend with.
"Awoo~"
As Liu Yiren was knocked away, to everyone's surprise, Diudiu, whom they thought was dead, let out an angry growl. It was still a puppy-like sound, but this time, everyone could clearly sense the fury in its voice.
Diudiu, stuck to the ground, was slowly recovering, inflating like a balloon, and soon returned to its original form.
Nan Haoyuan's face turned ashen with fear. What kind of creature was this? His strike should have shattered even steel, let alone such a small thing.
"Awoo~"
Diudiu opened its mouth, revealing neat little white teeth.
Without fangs, Diudiu's teeth were pristine and neat, very cute.
However, just this mouth full of teeth struck terror into Nan Haoyuan.
Diudiu opened its mouth and directly pounced towards his other leg.
Nan Haoyuan was scared out of his wits. If his other leg was bitten off, he would be completely ruined. How could the Nan family let a cripple serve as the Family Head, since the head of the family represented the family's image?
"Whoosh."
Nan Haoyuan exerted force with his foot, shooting backwards like lightning.
However, Diudiu was not planning to let him off, transforming into a white blur to chase after him.
Nan Haoyuan was furious, raising a hand for another strike, unleashing his power.
"Bang!"
Diudiu was sent flying dozens of meters away, rolling several times on the ground.
As everyone worried, Diudiu got up as if nothing had happened, letting out an "Awoo" and charging at Nan Haoyuan once more.
"Bang!"
Before it even got close, Nan Haoyuan struck again, sending Diudiu flying.
Diudiu rolled around on the ground, got up, and charged again.
"Bang bang..."
Diudiu kept charging forward only to be knocked away by Nan Haoyuan time and again.
Nan Haoyuan was both shocked and angry. What on earth was this thing? It was impossible to kill.
He was severely injured. Although the bleeding had stopped, the pain persisted, and any slight movement sent a cold sweat down his body. Moreover, repeated attacks were consuming a lot of his energy.
Yet, Diudiu was like an indestructible cockroach, growling "Awoo Awoo" as it repeatedly charged at Nan Haoyuan.
At first, everyone worried for Diudiu. Gradually, they found that Diudiu was practically a miraculous existence, being knocked away by Nan Haoyuan dozens of times without losing a single hair.
Qin Wan'er took the opportunity to help Liu Yiren and Liu Zhanyuan with their injuries. The cultivation technique she practiced wasn't very powerful, but it was highly effective in healing.
"Get out of my way."
Nan Haoyuan suddenly let out an irritated roar, sending Diudiu flying a hundred meters with a slap.
Yet Diudiu rolled a few times on the ground and continued charging while growling "Awoo Awoo."
Nan Haoyuan was about to lose his mind. At this point, his hair was disheveled, his breathing rapid due to excessive consumption, and every movement of his injury caused his body to convulse with pain, his back soaked with cold sweat.
...
"Boom!"
About ten kilometers from Tiger Roar Mountain, the nearly repaired road was riddled with holes, and hundreds of meters of road were completely destroyed, with craters all over the ground.
The storm swept through.
Four figures flew backward, coughing up blood, their garments stained red with it.
"You are indeed resilient."
Nan Jiuyi's gaze was cold; he hadn't expected the Azure Dragon team to hold them off for so long.
The Azure Dragon team, like Diudiu, was indestructible like cockroaches.
All four were heavily injured, with Azure Dragon having an arm broken, its bone piercing through the flesh, bleeding profusely, dark red blood flowing down from its fingertips.
White Tiger's claws were a bloody mess, constantly trembling.
Xuanwu's chest had caved in slightly, the terrifying force ripping through his chest muscles, blood pouring out.
Vermilion Bird's face was as pale as paper, with several broken bones in her body.
Facing two Body Integration Realm powerhouses was truly terrifying.
Yet the four supported each other to stand up, gazing coldly at Nan Jiuyi and Nan Huaiseng, refusing to give an inch.
"Honestly, I admire your courage and persistence. If not for Qin Yi, we might have been friends," Nan Jiuyi said candidly, truly admiring the resilience of the Azure Dragon team.
Azure Dragon opened his mouth to speak, but a gush of blood surged up, preventing any words from coming out.
Xuanwu sneered, "We will never be friends because you're not worthy."
"Facing death, you still dare to be stubborn. I see you won't cry until you see the coffin," Nan Huaiseng barked angrily.
Xuanwu laughed coldly, "You hit the nail on the head; we won't turn back without hitting the southern wall, nor shed tears until we see the coffin. As long as we have breath in us, we'll block you."
Nan Huaiseng glanced at Nan Jiuyi, speaking coldly, "If that's the case, let's send them on their way."
Nan Jiuyi nodded slightly.
The two struck simultaneously, their terrifying power making hearts tremble.
The Azure Dragon team rose to fight back.
A moment later, an earth-shattering explosion resonated, the might as frightening as it could be.
...like two flowers blooming, each with a stalk.
Yun Mengyao was only three to five kilometers away from Tiger Roar Mountain, a distance bridged by a few flaps of her wings under normal circumstances. But now, it seemed like an impossible feat to achieve.
The multicolored radiance on her body had dimmed considerably, her entire body stained with blood.
Lei Bai's face twisted in a grimace; Yun Mengyao's Flying Technique was indeed formidable, allowing her to continuously evade his attacks.
"The clothes you're wearing are extraordinary," Lei Bai said, narrowing his eyes. He had already noticed that if not for Yun Mengyao's white skirt absorbing most of his attacks, she wouldn't have held on for this long.
Yun Mengyao wore the Feather Clan's supreme treasure, the Immortal Feather Skirt. Back then, Qin Yi had even crawled beneath Yun Mengyao's skirt for it.
