Chapter 35: Encountering Jiang Ren Again, Two Enemies Narrow the Road (1/2)

Less than a mile away from Ning Wuxie and the others, Jiang Ren and Li Luobing were also advancing towards the Bai Ze’s fetus direction.

At that moment, Jiang Ren appeared relaxed and content, following behind Li Luobing, swaggering confidently.

What did the Beast Tide matter? There was a senior sister!

When Mo Xiang summoned the overwhelming turbulent monsters, he was indeed startled and thought of fleeing at the first moment.

However, Li Luobing had held him back.

Then she turned to face the vast Beast Tide vanguard and used a magical treasure given to her by Master Wuyuan, a jade mirror.

She forcefully carved a path through the surging Beast Tide!

The two stood like rocks amidst the tide, watching the frenzied monsters rush forward, only to be shattered by the brilliance of the precious mirror, turning into a blur of flesh and blood.

Until the Beast Tide dispersed, the two remained unharmed, and a few scattered monsters were naturally killed by Li Luobing with a snap of her fingers.

Jiang Ren felt quite pleased, not only because of having Li Luobing as a strong ally.

What made him even happier was his speculation that Ning Wuxie would definitely not withstand the impact of this Beast Tide!

Before entering the depths of the mountain, Master Wuyuan suddenly informed him that Ning Wuxie had also left with a small team from Hermit Valley.

Thus, since entering the depths of the mountain forest, Jiang Ren had been searching for Ning Wuxie’s traces, hoping to kill her here!

As a result, he encountered Mo Xiang releasing the Beast Tide.

It was not surprising; Ning Wuxie was only ten years old and had hardly seen any monsters. Although her cultivation method was extraordinary, she did not have a senior sister as strong to protect her.

How could she possibly survive in such a brutal Beast Tide?!

While Jiang Ren felt pleased, he also experienced some inner conflict.

“What a pity that I did not kill Ning Wuxie myself,” he said to his senior sister in front of him.

“Are you so sure that guy is dead?” Li Luobing smiled and replied.

Seeing Jiang Ren happy, she also felt in a good mood, her beautiful eyes curving up above her mask.

Regarding the relationship between her and Jiang Ren, there had always been various rumors in the martial world.

Some said they were secretly bonded partners, while others claimed they had developed inappropriate feelings as sworn siblings, with all sorts of gossip flying around.

But in reality, Jiang Ren was just a cousin from Li Luobing’s mother’s side.

Li Luobing grew up in the Great Chu Kingdom’s palace and often played with him.

Thirty years ago, when Master Wuyuan visited Great Chu and immediately recognized Li Luobing’s talent, he wanted to take her as a disciple, but Jiang Ren clung to her leg and refused to let her go.

Li Luobing could not bear to part with this younger brother, so she intended to refuse Master Wuyuan. Master Wuyuan became anxious and had no choice but to take Jiang Ren as a disciple as well.

In this sense, Jiang Ren was indeed bundled with her…

“Then what else could it be?” Jiang Ren’s expression was relaxed and carefree.

“With such a terrifying Beast Tide, even cultivators at the Transforming Sea Realm would find it difficult to resist. Those who have not experienced the Beast Tide either fly away or run around aimlessly, only to become food for the monsters.”

“Ning Wuxie must have encountered a great disaster; I do not believe he could escape.”

Jiang Ren’s lips curled up, proud and cruel.

“Even if he does not die, he will be close to it, which suits me just fine…”

Li Luobing listened to Jiang Ren’s fantasies, her eyes revealing a doting smile.

Suddenly, her expression changed, and she became serious and alert.

“Brother Ren, be careful, someone is approaching ahead!”

Jiang Ren was taken aback, but his expression showed little panic; his spiritual sense was not as sharp as Li Luobing’s and had not sensed anything yet.

“What cultivation level? How many people?”

He was not worried; with Li Luobing around, what was there to fear?

Worried about exposing his identity? Then just kill them! Dead people would not say she was Master Wuyuan’s disciple.

“Three people, one at Core Formation, one at Spirit Condensing Realm, and one… cannot be seen.”

“Cannot be seen?”

“It should be hidden by some formation… it looks a bit like the Absolute Cloud Negative Qi Array.”

“Absolute Cloud Negative Qi… what?!”

Jiang Ren’s eyes widened instantly, his expression turning extremely ugly, as if he had eaten something rotten.

He froze in place, his mind racing to think about who in Hermit Valley could still have the Absolute Cloud Negative Qi Array…

…

“Be careful, two people are coming towards us from the left front!”

Dantai Ying, who was leading the charge, suddenly said, taking a battle stance.

Ning Wuxie also sensed it, as the two figures were rushing towards them at high speed, clearly having locked onto them!

He protected Xuan’er behind him, taking a few steps back to reveal a space that could serve as a buffer.

Swish, swish, swish—

The sound of clothes brushing through the bushes echoed as two figures swiftly emerged from the trees ahead.
