My Wife Might Be a Saintess

Chapter 294: Chapter 293: Disturb Him While He’s Eating? You Will Die

Jiang Zuo arrived at the altar in the attic. A powerful force emanated from it.

Jiang Zuo looked down and saw a pool of water in the altar. In the pool was an eyeball, the very source of the power.

Jiang Zuo looked at it, and it looked back at him.

"It looks a little familiar," Jiang Zuo couldn’t help but say as he stared at the eyeball.

Then, he asked Yongxi, "Do you know what this is?"

Yongxi answered bluntly, "As food, how would I know what my master owns? It’s hard enough just to know their family name."

Jiang Zuo nodded. ’That’s true. It seems the only purpose of food is to be eaten.’

Just then, the eye began to blink repeatedly (its eyelids made of pure power), as if it was about to shoot something out from within.

Without hesitation, Jiang Zuo took out Cold Moon and stabbed at it.

CLANG!

Jiang Zuo was stunned for a moment, realizing that Cold Moon couldn’t pierce it.

’Is this how domineering high-level things are?’

Jiang Zuo began to retreat. He had to. It wasn’t just the eyeball’s own power that had blocked Cold Moon; a bit of the power from within had also begun to leak out.

It wasn’t much, but it was still not wise to face it head-on.

Jiang Zuo said to Yongxi, "Go, bite it to pieces."

"I don’t have a mouth."

"Then stomp it to bits."

Yongxi was helpless and could only go forward, suspecting that it would be the one getting blown to bits, not the other way around.

But just as Yongxi moved forward, a great distortion appeared in the sky above.

A beam of black light then shone down, landing squarely on the altar.

The power that was about to burst from the eye was suddenly drawn upward.

Jiang Zuo immediately shouted, "Hurry, or you’re dead!"

At that moment, an immense power surged out. Yongxi’s legs nearly gave out, almost making it kneel. ’Just what Tier of power is this?!’

’I’m going to die. I’m definitely going to die.’

’But if I retreat, I’ll die instantly.’

Steeling itself, Yongxi arrived before the altar and stomped down with its foot.

******

The five Demon Cultivators who were originally outside suddenly felt a pulling sensation.

They were shocked to find that although it wasn’t yet time for them to enter, something inside was pulling at their altar.

"What’s going on?"

"I don’t know. It seems like that thing needs our altar."

"Are the two groups ahead of us causing trouble? Weren’t they supposed to be unable to find it?"

"Don’t panic. It’s probably nothing."

"It’s broken through! We’re going in! Be careful— Uh, I can’t really control my power. What about you guys?" The man was dumbfounded.

"Same here. I think we’re screwed."

"Do you have any last words?"

"Yeah, but there’s no time to say them! AHHHHH!"

At that instant, the five of them, along with their altar, fell directly into the cave abode.

And the place they fell into was, coincidentally, right onto the altar where Jiang Zuo was.

The very moment the five of them fell, Yongxi stomped on the eyeball.

BOOM!!!

A massive explosion sent everyone flying. The five men absorbed almost all of the damage.

They were blasted in different directions, their status unknown, but they were definitely immobilized.

Yongxi was also sent flying by the blast.

As for Jiang Zuo, he had already hidden himself far away.

Just then, a black mist enveloped the altar. The mist quickly took the form of a dog-like creature with wings on its back.

The eyeball was moving about on its body.

But upon seeing its appearance, Jiang Zuo recognized it.

Fierce Beast Chaos.

"So you were trapped here. I thought you had just taken up residence here later on." Jiang Zuo knew it.

Or rather, he knew it from his previous life. Back then, Jiang Zuo had come to the Celestial Cloud Mountain Range, and it was here that he had met Chaos.

At that time, Jiang Zuo saw that it was a capable fighter, so he captured it and raised it.

At first, he had hoped that Chaos could help block Jiu Xi for a few days to give him some peace and quiet.

However, it wasn’t long before Chaos switched sides.

’Useless thing. If I hadn’t been so busy later, I would have definitely hunted it down and slaughtered it.’

’But it’s not too late now. I could have let what happened in our past life slide, but this time, it actually got rid of my food.’

’That’s even more hateful than its betrayal (after all, I never really counted on it much in the past anyway).’

Jiang Zuo then walked over to Yongxi, who was currently playing dead.

Jiang Zuo paid it no mind and simply retrieved the All-Things Cut.

Then, he walked toward Chaos. This Chaos only possessed a sliver of its power. After that recent explosion, Jiang Zuo could take advantage of the fact that it hadn’t fully awoken yet and kill it right now.

As Jiang Zuo approached, Chaos, though not fully conscious, could still sense the approaching threat.

The eyeball locked onto Jiang Zuo.

At that exact moment, Jiang Zuo quickly moved from his original position.

He moved at his fastest speed, then brought out his shield. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

He even took out the Battle Spirit Stele, enlarged it, and placed it in front of him.

Soon, a massive beam of light swept past, with Jiang Zuo right at its edge.

The Battle Spirit Stele was sent flying, then shrank and began to orbit and rotate around Jiang Zuo.

Jiang Zuo, holding up his shield, was also sent flying. However, he used the force of the blow to escape the attack’s range.

But both of his arms were injured.

The enemy’s attack was too powerful. If his shield hadn’t been strong enough, he might have been reduced to ash.

"Heh, still so strong even when weakened." Jiang Zuo ignored his injuries. This time, he was determined to shatter this eyeball no matter what.

After that one strike, Chaos’s figure instantly doubled in size. Anyone else might have panicked, but Jiang Zuo knew this was one of Chaos’s traits.

As a clone, its imposing aura would grow larger with each attack, while its actual attack power would drop by one tier.

In other words, the last attack was at Tier Five strength, which meant the next one would only be at Tier Four.

And its lowest limit was Tier Two.

Once it dropped to Tier Two, Jiang Zuo would be able to get close to it.

However, it would be useless even if an ordinary Cultivator could get close. Its body was made of solid power, a strange form of self-preservation.

If it can’t kill its enemy, most of its power is immediately redirected to self-preservation, which is why each successive attack is a tier lower than the last.

And this self-preservation was most likely meant to protect the main body.

If it can’t kill its enemy, it switches to full Defense and just provides cover.

’It’s better than nothing, I suppose.’

Therefore, as long as Jiang Zuo could dodge one more attack, he would be almost out of danger.

After composing himself, Jiang Zuo approached Chaos once more. The closer he got, the safer he would be.

Soon, Chaos’s eye once again flashed with an eerie light.

And just as before, Jiang Zuo moved from his spot ahead of time. This time, he didn’t even take out his shield.

Getting this close might not be a good thing for others, but for him, it was an absolute advantage.

When it came to dodging a close-range attack, he would never fail.

When the light faded, Chaos’s form had grown once more, becoming exceptionally tall.

Ximen Chuihuo and the others, who were fleeing for their lives, could already see and feel it.

"Fellow Daoist Po Xiao will be alright, won’t he? That attack just now was so powerful, it had to be Tier Five, right?" Zhong Yiyang said.

"I don’t know, but we can’t stop. Faster! Besides, Fellow Daoist Po Xiao can’t be judged by common sense. We should worry about ourselves," said Ximen Chuihuo. freewёbnoνel.com

He was very experienced in escaping, so he could naturally tell that there wasn’t the slightest trace of fear or panic in Po Xiao’s eyes.

So the problem probably wasn’t serious—unless Po Xiao was just pretending.

And at that moment, a crazed laugh echoed forth, transmitted directly into their minds: "Hahaha, I’m free! I’m free! I’m free again!"
