Chapter 4687: 5.0439 A Thought of Spiritual Power

The vine whip left a long, thin white mark on You Batian's arm. Qiao Mu's eyes were clear, her gaze chilling to the bone.

"Patriarch You, didn't you receive the diminished light of your son's life lantern? What? Didn't see it clearly?"

Peach Blossom Immortal Venerable looked at Qiao Mu with a helpless expression. Whenever Qiao Qiao encountered someone she disliked, her words would become incredibly sharp and terrifying. He could already anticipate how provocative the little poker face's next words would be.

As expected.

Qiao Mu didn't need You Batian's answer; she naturally continued speaking.

"Your son's spiritual power was completely drained, and then I used this dagger to repeatedly pierce the blood vessels in his neck, and then..." Qiao Mu suddenly blinked at You Batian, a cold smile appearing on her face, "he died."

Outside the Qianluo Underground Arena, You Hui released two zombie puppets, one large and one small, at her. The small zombie puppet even bit her, almost killing her. Her survival didn't mean she hadn't been injured; she was so scared at the time that she nearly fainted, thinking she might never see Qiao Qiao's Lotus again in her life.

She had suffered a great loss at You Hui's hands, and from then on, she developed a habit. When fighting zombie puppets, she paid special attention to their movements, to prevent these things from hiding a symbiotic zombie puppet in some part of their body.

This incident had both pros and cons for her. It made her clearly realize at the time that she was not invincible. When fighting zombie puppets, a moment of carelessness could lead to a fatal blow.

You Batian clenched his fists tightly, roaring in anger.

Immediately after, a large group of strange figures covered in rhinoceros hide surged towards them like a tide.

You Batian's gaze instantly turned cold, fixed on Qiao Mu. He suddenly shifted, raising his hand to grab her.

Peach Blossom Immortal Venerable's seemingly gentle palm swiftly neutralized You Batian's attack. He then gracefully leaped away, leading You Batian aside to spar.

You Batian was no fool; he naturally saw that Qiao Mu was the core of everything here. If he could capture Qiao Mu with lightning speed now, he could resolve all current troubles and rescue Qingya from the defensive rune array.

With a wave of You Batian's hand, a massive beast suddenly leaped out from his spirit beast space, extending its claws to strike towards Peach Blossom Immortal Venerable.

Feng Chen didn't even glance at it. A wisp of wood spiritual power attached to his long sword gently attacked the super-large spirit beast.

Meanwhile, You Batian, seizing the opportunity, turned back, his figure like a great roc spreading its wings, fiercely lunging towards Qiao Mu. If this grab succeeded, he could seize Qiao Mu.

At that point... no matter how powerful these people in front of him were, they would have to meekly submit to him, You Batian.

Just as You Batian's iron claw was about to grasp Qiao Mu's neck, a sword suddenly darted out from the side, swiftly deflecting You Batian's claw.

You Batian was enraged to the extreme. He turned his eyes to look, and couldn't help but roar in fury, "What are you doing?"

The man who attacked him was one of his subordinates, utterly daring to challenge him!

The subordinate's face turned pale with fear, and he stammered repeatedly, "I, I didn't mean to. Vice Hall Master, I, I..."

"Shut up." You Batian slapped the blocking subordinate, splitting the young man's head askew as if he were chopping vegetables.

Upon seeing this, Qiao Mu couldn't help but shake her head. "Patriarch You, you're truly ruthless."
