Chapter 4614: 5.0366 Going with the Flow, Is That Good?

Qiao Mu suddenly felt a rush of wind from above. She narrowed her eyes, and two beams of cold light shot out from them. She saw a grotesque creature with four wings and three eyes appear in mid-air directly above her head. It brought with it a strong gale, capable of stirring up a fierce storm covering ten li.

Qiao Mu stood steady, a corner of her simple, light-colored robe fluttering high in the violent wind. This monster had claws like an eagle and a body as robust as a young calf. Its neck was long and slender, and its head was mutated. A quick glance was enough to tell that it was a specially modified, four-winged harpy, incredibly hideous!

It was truly incredibly hideous. Qiao Mu took one look at it and felt her stomach churn, a sense of nausea washing over her. This feeling made her want to vomit. Up close, this four-winged mutated harpy was truly disgusting. Its features seemed to be mashed together, eyes, nose, and mouth all tightly squeezed towards the center. At first glance, all features were present, but upon a second look, it appeared bizarre and ugly, making one sick to the stomach.

The little stoic activated her egg-shell defensive shield almost simultaneously as the harpy's claws lunged at her.

Crack! A crisp, metallic collision sound reached everyone's ears. The harpy's claws, as hard as cold iron, instantly scratched a mark on the little stoic's defensive shield.

At the same time, a water arrow struck the four-winged harpy. Even though the harpy had a head and arms like copper and iron, and its entire body was as thick as steel plate, it couldn't help but reflexively retract its neck when it saw the incoming water arrow. It flapped its wings and flew high into the sky, instantly dodging the attack.

Duan Yue arrived very quickly. In just a moment, he was by the little stoic's side. His water spirit had just been retracted. Through the defensive shield, he just happened to see the little stoic raise her small hand and wink at him.

On the little stoic's hand, four characters were written: 顺水推舟 (go with the flow).

Duan Yue glanced at it, and his handsome face immediately darkened. "No way." He abruptly refused, his smile vanishing. He raised his hand, reaching through the defensive shield, and without a word, grabbed her wrist.

As swift as speech, the Zither-Playing Corpse Puppet, clutching its tattered ancient zither, suddenly leaped three feet high. A discordant zither tune abruptly erupted, carrying streams of powerful energy, all hurtling towards Duan Yue.

The little stoic raised a hand and pushed him, winking at him and calling out, "Go quickly!" She then naturally took a step back.

Duan Yue's anger flared. He turned to grab her, and just as he said, "You're not allowed to mess around," he casually blocked, seizing the Zither-Playing Corpse Puppet's claw that had lunged towards him.

Within Duan Yue's beautiful peach blossom eyes, immense waves instantly surged. He said coldly, "You can die now."

The Zither-Playing Corpse Puppet let out a sharp shriek, summoning the scattered corpse puppets to gather and protect it. But it was too late. Duan Yue's finger moved slightly, and a rapidly escalating silver-white flame instantly climbed along the Zither-Playing Corpse Puppet's withered, wood-like arm.

The various Sky-Slaying Transport teams, who had rushed to the scene upon hearing the commotion, were now gathering in an organized manner. They carved a path from all directions, converging towards the center. At this moment, a very strange, sharp wail suddenly echoed.

Everyone's hearts tightened slightly, and they instinctively looked up towards the source of the sound. What they saw instantly shook them to their core. A white figure, with its back to them, was suspended in mid-air, its entire body now engulfed by a strange silver-white flame. It was he who was emitting that inhuman roar. The sound sent shivers down their spines.
