My Wife Might Be a Saintess

Chapter 298: Chapter 297: Chopping Up the Chaos Avatar

The streamer who had been sent flying was now lying on the ground, nearly pissing his pants in fear.

’I was so well hidden. How did they even spot me?’

What shocked him even more was that his shield was no ordinary Magical Treasure.

Too bad it was already destroyed.

’To get a Magical Treasure like this for a Third-Grade Spirit Stone... what a steal.’

’I’ve got to go buy a few more.’

Unfortunately, he probably didn’t realize that he might never meet that Daoist again in his life.

Even his memory of the man would slowly fade.

"Inexplicable Fate... yet it is also illusory and ephemeral." Somewhere on a mountain peak, the Daoist sighed as he gazed in Jiang Zuo’s direction.

’Because of him, I can’t even set up my stall to sell weapons anymore. I have to make house calls.’

’I’m losing so much money.’

’And he always has a way of getting involved when you least expect it.’

’He’s not someone you want to mess with.’

The attacks from the sky continued, but Chaos’s own assaults had grown feeble. Before long, it would be finished.

It had, however, grown several sizes larger.

’But if this is all it has,’ Jiang Zuo thought, ’I’ll definitely win.’

’Once I capture this avatar, I’ll see if I can trace it back to the original.’

’Then I’ll find out if someone’s behind this. If so, I’ll hunt them down and kill them, no matter what.’

’Interrupting my meal... who does this person think they are? Jiu Xi?’

’Even if it were Jiu Xi, I’d have to chop her to pieces and kill her. Back in my past life, after I chopped Jiu Xi to pieces, she just kept finding ways to drive me crazy while I was trying to eat. Eventually, I had to give up on the whole chopping-and-killing thing.’

’Speaking of which, Jiu Xi had a truly awful personality. By that logic, is Su Qi’s personality just as awful?’ ƒгeewёbnovel.com

’Mm, it’s highly possible. The main thing is, I’ve never really done anything to provoke Su Qi.’

’And I’d never make her upset.’

’Of course, the most important thing is that we could never be on opposing sides.’

’Not in this lifetime.’

By now, Jiang Zuo had nearly finished traversing Chaos’s entire body. In just a little longer, he would have it completely covered.

No matter how strong its defenses, Chaos could not escape its fate of being sliced apart.

After a long while, Jiang Zuo had traversed Chaos’s entire body. The All-Things Cut now covered the creature completely.

To onlookers, it now looked as if Chaos was clad in magnificent, awe-inspiring armor.

Those who didn’t know any better thought the Fierce Beast was about to go on a rampage.

But Ximen Chuihuo and his group breathed a sigh of relief. This meant Po Xiao had seized the upper hand.

Ximen Linglong sighed. "We’ll have to avoid him from now on. Otherwise, I have a feeling Qiqi will end up with another limp."

"Speaking of which, I was the one who helped Fellow Daoist Po Xiao roast Qiqi’s entire leg," Zhong Yiyang said.

Ximen Linglong glared at Zhong Yiyang. "From now on, you are an enemy of our Spiritual Control Sect. If you dare set foot on our grounds, you’re a dead man."

Zhong Yiyang: "..."

Li Ya asked, "Are we going to keep running?"

Ximen Chuihuo pointed ahead. "Let’s go. There’s a new courtyard up there. More people are starting to show up, so let’s get inside and take a look before anyone else does. We’ll grab anything good and get out.

"I brought a high-level Concealment Magical Treasure. Anyone around Tier Five or lower won’t be able to spot us. As long as we’re careful, we should be fine."

Ximen Chuihuo and his group were right; Jiang Zuo had already begun to seize the upper hand.

Just when everyone thought Chaos was about to go berserk, a tremendous, bizarre roar erupted from the creature.

The roar was filled with pain and misery.

Then, the Fierce Beast that had towered into the clouds was whittled down, layer by layer, its height steadily decreasing.

Most people had no idea what was happening, but they could tell that someone was doing something to the Fierce Beast.

Not everyone had time to watch the live stream, after all.

Jingyue, meanwhile, was stunned once again.

’If this person really is my brother-in-law, then... isn’t he a little too powerful?’

"But... should I be happy for that little lovesick fool?" Jingyue sighed. "I feel like this isn’t a good thing." She worried that the two of them, having just reconciled, would run into problems again.

’After all, Su Qi really cares about her husband. The last time she saw those divorce papers, she was scared out of her wits.’

’Seeing Su Qi look so hurt and upset made me feel terrible, too.’

’I might call Su Qi a fool all the time, but at least she was a happy fool. If you can be happy being a fool, why choose to be smart and crying?’ ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"Right. I should investigate this Po Xiao first. At the very least, I need to know what kind of person he is."

Only once she was sure there were no major issues would she be content to watch from the sidelines as the couple continued their dance of love and murder.

Setting the matter aside for now, Jingyue turned her attention to the business at hand.

She was about to reach the East Courtyard. Finding her little lovesick fool was the priority.

Meanwhile, Zi Feng and Lan Yue had already arrived at the East Courtyard and had even scouted the area.

They now stood before a large hall.

"Everywhere else is empty. So how did they get in here?" Zi Feng muttered, frowning.

’This place has a unique aura. Never mind a Tier Five like me—even a Tier Six or Tier Seven cultivator might not be able to get in.’

’There are traces of the Dao here.’

’Unless you’ve achieved Entering Dao, you can’t force your way in.’

Lan Yue said, "Saintess Jingyue is on her way. She should have a solution."

Zi Feng nodded. "It seems this place has deep ties to the Holy Land."

Then Zi Feng glanced at the sky and added, "You’d better go and meet Saintess Jingyue. She might not be able to get through on her own. I’ll hold down the fort here."

By now, most people had discovered the numerous buildings in the area, and the fact that they were almost entirely devoid of danger.

More importantly, the buildings were full of treasures.

Naturally, the East Courtyard had been discovered as well.

Lan Yue nodded. "In that case, Senior Brother, don’t just suddenly run off. Especially not before I get back."

It wasn’t that Lan Yue was being petty; Zi Feng had a history of doing just that.

Once, Zi Feng had secretly left her an incredibly powerful Life-Protecting Treasure, and then he’d simply vanished.

She had been scared to death back then.

When she confronted him about it later, he had simply replied, "It’s not like you were going to die. Why would I stick around?"

She had given up all hope for her Senior Brother.

Zi Feng looked at Lan Yue and asked, "Do I look like the type of person who would desert his post?"

Lan Yue just chuckled dryly without a word before leaving to meet Jingyue.

Zi Feng, meanwhile, surveyed his surroundings before leaving marks on several pillars.

After setting things up for a moment, he nodded in satisfaction. ’This should do the trick. Lan Yue will know how to use it when she gets back. Now... should I go take a look around the neighborhood?’

Jiang Zuo stood atop Chaos, now fearless of any attack.

Especially now that half of the avatar’s body had been sliced away, the power descending from the sky began to weaken and fade.

Before long, this Chaos avatar would be completely overcome. And when it was, Jiang Zuo would make it understand the price one pays for interrupting his meal.

When Chaos had been whittled down to the size of an attic, Jiang Zuo once again saw the altar and the eye.

The eyeball could move freely within the creature’s body; otherwise, it would have been impossible for it to fire attacks from any point.

Now, the eyeball lay in a pool, drained of its energy.

But Jiang Zuo knew that the outer shell was just an illusion; only the eyeball was real.

Once he finished slicing away the external energy, it would be the eyeball’s turn.

Chaos vanished at a speed visible to the naked eye. Finally, Jiang Zuo was left standing on the altar. The All-Things Cut enveloped the eyeball, and in an instant, one eye became two.

He then picked them up.
