As soon as the man in the black robe left, Ling Mo Xie thought that since he had to deal with them anyway, he might as well take the initiative while they were unaware of his presence.
With that in mind, Ling Mo Xie immediately launched a Shattering Stone, Astonishing Sky towards Ji Chen. The reason for targeting Ji Chen instead of the Azure Fox was naturally because the Azure Fox appeared to be a formidable opponent. Since Chen Yan said to leave it to her, he didn't need to intervene.
At this point, Ling Mo Xie was already at the equivalent of Mid Gold Core Stage level eighty-six, so ambushing Ji Chen, who was also at the Gold Core stage, was quite easy.
Ji Chen was originally preparing to speak with Xuanling when suddenly a Sword Light appeared out of nowhere and charged directly at him. Ji Chen could only widen his mouth in surprise, watching helplessly as that extraordinary Sword Light approached him. A sense of despair surged within him as he gathered all his strength to create a Spiritual Energy Barrier around himself.
However, although Ji Chen couldn't react in time, Xuanling was different. Sensing Ling Mo Xie's attack, it calmly glanced over and prepared to block it.
Ling Mo Xie frowned. He wondered if Chen Yan could handle this fox; he had put all his trust in her. The fox's strength was even greater than he had imagined, and in its presence, he felt no courage to resist.
If it weren't for hearing that they were going after the Ling Family and encountering this fox, Ling Mo Xie would have planned to wait before dealing with them and find a place to level up first.
Fortunately, Chen Yan did not disappoint Ling Mo Xie. Just as Ling Mo Xie's skill was about to hit Ji Chen and the fox was leisurely preparing to counterattack, a strange beast roar suddenly echoed.
Ling Mo Xie was taken aback; he remembered that the sound Chen Yan made when dealing with the Yinfu Yuanhu in Skywind City wasn't like this.
This beast roar seemed to transcend endless time, carrying an overwhelming majesty. It was merely a soft call yet felt like the roar of an ancient giant beast, sending chills down his spine.
The fox's reaction to this sound was clearly much more intense than those of Yuyao, Ji Chen, and Bai Yunfei.
The attack it had prepared never came out; its limbs went weak as it knelt down directly, ears drooping. The indifference and disdain in its eyes were replaced by sheer terror.
Xuanling was horrified to find that it couldn't move at all; an infinite sense of fear surged from deep within its bloodline.
At this moment, Xuanling also noticed the hidden Chen Yan but looked completely puzzled; it clearly did not recognize her.
With no one to block him, Ling Mo Xie's skill quickly struck Ji Chen's body. A blinding white light flashed by, and using his Detection Skill, Ling Mo Xie could see that Ji Chen's Health Points had dropped by at least one-fifth.
Ji Chen was originally just a small-time thug, so the techniques he cultivated were naturally not very advanced. Even in the Golden Core Stage, he could only be considered among the ordinary ones. It seemed that his luck wasn't very good!
Seeing Ling Mo Xie and Chen Yan engage in battle, Bai Yunfei hurried over from a distance and asked Ling Mo Xie: "What's going on? Are we running away?"
Ling Mo Xie shot him a glare: "Run away? That fox has been dealt with by Chen Yan. Let's go after Ji Chen." He glanced at Xuanling, who was on all fours and couldn't get up.
Upon hearing Ling Mo Xie's words, Bai Yunfei was stunned. What? That impressive fox was taken down by Chen Yan just like that? No way! Someone who gave him such a dangerous feeling had to be at least at the Separation Period level; how could they be so easily defeated? Chen Yan didn't seem that powerful; she was at most comparable to their leader.
At this moment, Xuanling was also puzzled. After noticing Chen Yan, it continuously sensed her aura, but no matter how it tried, the result was always the same: weak!
Yes, weak! To it, Chen Yan was an incredibly weak Spirit Beast. But why did this weak Spirit Beast, with just a light roar, render it completely immobile?
Xuanling thought for a moment. Between Spirit Beasts and Demon Beasts, aside from the difference in realm, it could only be a difference in bloodline. Could it be that this Spirit Beast had a low-level bloodline?
The look of confusion in Xuanling's eyes deepened. The cultivation talent of Spirit Beasts and Demon Beasts is related to their bloodlines, so generally, those with higher bloodlines have higher cultivation levels—except during their juvenile stages.
Since it could cultivate to the tribulation stage, its bloodline was naturally not low. At least among the current demon race, it could be considered top-tier bloodline material. After all, it was still in its mature phase and far from its life’s end; there was even a chance of ascending to the demon realm.
Thinking about Spirit Beasts or Demon Beasts with even higher bloodlines than itself, Xuanling realized there were only a few rare types. Moreover, they were either powerful beings from other factions or elusive juvenile Spirit Beast Monsters. Although their bloodlines were higher than its own, they still couldn't reach the point where a mere roar would leave it unable to move.
Aside from the difference in bloodlines, the realm of cultivation was also crucial. There were indeed instances where lower-bloodline high-realm Spirit Beasts killed juvenile high-bloodline Spirit Beasts.
Even now, not even the highest-bloodline Spirit Beast or Demon Beast's cubs could make it submit with just one roar!
What exactly is this creature?
Xuanling resigned itself to staying still, intently watching Chen Yan while pondering her race.
Ji Chen was naturally unsettled; his life was hanging by a thread!
Although Ling Mo Xie's Shattering Stone, Astonishing Sky was blocked, it still took away one-fifth of his Health Points. Before Ji Chen could retaliate, Ling Mo Xie unleashed a newly acquired Condensation Technique on him.
Considering the time Ling Mo Xie had spent here, he had experienced several battles and accumulated some experience. After successfully immobilizing Ji Chen with the Condensation Technique, Ling Mo Xie followed up with several attacks including Flying Immortal Sword, Glimpse of the Stunning Swan, and Shattering the Sky, all directed at Ji Chen.
As for Bai Yunfei, he was merely a bystander; his attack power was too low to make any significant impact in this Golden Core Stage battle.
Meanwhile, Xuanling was completely oblivious to Ji Chen's life-and-death crisis, merely exchanging glances with Shen Yan, each waiting for the other to make a move.
After several skills were used, Ji Chen's Health Points were reduced to one-sixth. This was due to him exerting all his effort to use Spiritual Energy to defend himself. The series of attacks from Ling Mo Xie flowed seamlessly, allowing him to deplete so much of Ji Chen's health in just a few moves.
At this moment, after unleashing a series of attacks, Ling Mo Xie felt quite pleased. However, in a moment of distraction, he lost control over Ji Chen. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky towards Ling Mo Xie.
“Damn!” Ling Mo Xie shouted; indeed, one must not lose focus during battle!
Lightning-type Spells are known to be among the most powerful in the Cultivation World.
At this point, Ji Chen took a breath; he had been waiting for such an opportunity—one that would allow him to unleash his strongest attack against Ling Mo Xie!
This particular Thunder Magic was not something an ordinary thug like Ji Chen could acquire; it was procured for him by Xuanling. As for how it was obtained, it was likely through theft.
Among all types of Thunder Magic, this one could be considered relatively ordinary. However, since it was still a form of Thunder Magic, its attack power should not be underestimated.
In any case, Ling Mo Xie knew that when this bolt of Thunder Magic approached him, he wouldn’t have time to react before the System determined that he had entered a paralyzed state.
This made Ling Mo Xie curse his luck; not only was the attack power of the Thunder Magic formidable, but its speed was also incredibly fast—second only to light-type spells. He hadn’t even had time to react before it closed in on him, leaving him unable to respond as he faced imminent collision with the approaching Thunder Magic.
If it were an ordinary Cultivator, just this one Thunder Magic would definitely lead to death if hit directly. However, Ling Mo Xie, aside from cursing, was not worried about dying like this. After all, he was deducting Health Points, and judging by the power of this Thunder Magic, it could at most take away half of his Health Points.
After all, he was at the same Level as Ji Chen. In the Game, players of the same Level cannot be one-shot killed by another player of the same Level, no matter how good their skills are!
Of course, there are also factors like equipment in the Game, but right now, Ling Mo Xie had various equipment while Ji Chen did not, which meant Ji Chen could not possibly one-shot Ling Mo Xie.
Ling Mo Xie knew this, but Bai Yunfei did not. Just as Ling Mo Xie's thoughts shifted to another powerful skill, preparing to endure Ji Chen's attack and then immediately use that skill against Ji Chen, Bai Yunfei saw that Ling Mo Xie did not react to Ji Chen's attack and smirked. It was finally his turn to step in.
A gust of wind swept by as the powerful Thunder Magic struck the ground directly. The solid ground was blasted into a bottomless pit, with smoke rising from the edges and darkness all around.
However, Ling Mo Xie was taken away by Bai Yunfei, moving out of the range of Thunder Magic's attack and far enough that his skill left Ji Chen's attack range.
Bai Yunfei set down Ling Mo Xie and chuckled, "How about that? I can even intervene in a Golden Core Stage battle, right? Haha! I really am a genius!"
Ling Mo Xie silently withdrew his focus from the skill he had prepared and looked at Bai Yunfei with a strange expression. He patted Bai Yunfei on the shoulder and said in an odd tone, "You really are a genius!" Though he also thought to himself afterward that he was a genius at sabotaging teammates!
However, Bai Yunfei was ultimately trying to save him; his intentions were good, so it wasn't right to blame him.
At that moment, a Fire Dragon attacked Ling Mo Xie again. Ling Mo Xie's expression tightened as he instantly used the Floating Shadow skill to dodge along with Bai Yunfei.
"Hmph! The Fire Dragon is tangible but lacks spirit. It seems you still haven't grasped this Spell!" Ling Mo Xie scoffed lightly before focusing again and throwing another Condensation Technique toward Ji Chen.
