Chapter 2296: Chapter 653: Fame from a Single Battle (Must Read)
The White Tiger constellation has only one principle—Kill!
The hurricane grew increasingly violent, whipping An Yiqing’s long hair into a wild dance in the wind. She stood steadily atop the serpent’s head, the Qingying Sword painting graceful arcs—
"Wind from the Tiger’s Roar! Break—through—!"
With her fierce shout, the hurricane erupted madly around her. The sturdy barrier shattered under the impact, twenty onmyoji spewed blood and flew backward. Old Jin’s figure trembled fiercely, spitting a mouthful of blood; thanks to Fatty Mao Er and others’ spiritual power, they barely managed to stabilize the protective barrier they released.
However, the onlookers weren’t as fortunate. As An Yiqing’s voice fell, a fierce wind erupted, uprooting century-old trees and shattering them to pieces. Those people were swept by the wind and slashed by broken branches, sustaining injuries, and scrambled to hide. The Gu Family’s ancestor and the Blood Clan who hurriedly arrived witnessed this scene of destruction and gasped collectively.
Time passed, the roaring and thunder gradually dissipated, and the hurricane that seemed as though it would lay waste to the world slowly calmed. People cautiously peeked towards An Yiqing’s side.
Leaves fluttered in the sky, slowly falling to the ground. Within the vortex, An Yiqing’s figure gradually appeared. She maintained her final sword-gripping stance, kneeling on one knee on Orochi’s serpent head. Orochi remained motionless until suddenly, with a booming sound, it shattered into fragments and dispersed into the wind under everyone’s gaze.
Without Orochi’s support, An Yiqing quickly fell towards the ground.
"Miss!"
"Sister An!"
The Thirteen Blood Generals and Four Divine Beasts immediately rushed forward. Old Jin withdrew the barrier and was the first to reach An Yiqing’s side. But his speed was no match for the Gu Family’s ancestor, whose aged hands extended and caught An Yiqing steadily.
"Give Sister An back to me!" Long Zixuan rushed forward to snatch her, but was easily evaded by the Gu Family’s ancestor.
"Why are young people so impatient? Just like my three boys at home!"
Long Zixuan wanted to say more, but An Zhiyu grabbed him.
"Why are you pulling me?"
An Zhiyu gave him a look, "If I’m not mistaken, his three boys should be General Gu. Look at his clothes."
Long Zixuan was stunned and turned to look at the elder’s long robe. The fabric was very ordinary, the style simple, but at the bottom of the robe, there was a small "Gu" character embroidered with silver thread.
"Are you the Gu Family’s ancestor?" freёwebnovel.com
The elder snorted, "Quite perceptive. This girl is just exhausted and severely injured but unconscious, nothing serious." He glanced at An Yiqing and nodded in admiration, "No wonder she’s the bride of our Gu Family, she’s exceptional!"
With that, he laughed heartily and carried An Yiqing on his back, heading towards the exit of the Black Forest. An Zhifeng and the others exchanged glances, supported each other, and hurried after him.
Bali and the Bruch Family’s first squad, who flew in especially from Country Zi, were stunned for a long time before coming to their senses. They stepped forward to check the deceased twenty onmyoji and the ground full of stones and broken trees, repeatedly gasping. What kind of power was this? To single-handedly fight twenty top-tier onmyoji and an Orochi? Who among them could do it? Yet An Yiqing managed!
Sweeping a glance at the onlookers peeking over, Bali laughed coldly, his voice not loud but resonating far, "I am Duke Bali of the Bruch Family, serving under orders from the Old Prince to aid Miss An today. Everyone present is a person of stature; surely, what to speak of and what not, everyone should know by now. If anyone doesn’t understand, I don’t mind representing the Old Prince to teach you well."
Everyone fell silent, ducking their heads in submission. Satisfied with the effect, Bali smiled happily.
"Let’s go, the Old Prince ordered us to guard Miss An closely, everyone follow!"
Bali left, and the Blood Clan members followed. The notable figures who were terrified by the successive events finally breathed a sigh of relief; they wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads and wandered to the battleground between An Yiqing and Orochi, witnessing the terrifying aftermath.
Suddenly, the turbulent trees rustled loudly, and everyone felt a blur before their eyes as a young man with Twelve-winged Black Feathers appeared in mid-air.
