Chapter 4718: 4.0470 Protecting with Life

"How could I not block it?" He pouted, looking displeased. "It's just a holy artifact, unused for many years, so it's not very agile. See, its effect isn't that great."

Qiao Mu gave him an exasperated roll of her eyes, then her expression suddenly changed. She yelled at the man blocking her, "Get out of the way!"

[How could I get out of the way?] Immortal Venerable Peach Blossom couldn't help but let out a bitter smile, pretending not to hear the little one's frantic shouts. He turned his head, continuously sending wood spiritual energy. In the boiling seawater before them, a marvelous scene of lush green emerged. Tendrils of wooden vines swayed in the water, and countless vibrant flowers of purple and red bloomed furiously. If not for the urgent situation, Qiao Mu would undoubtedly have greatly enjoyed the splendid sight of flourishing flowers before her.

Rotten Peach Blossom's control over wood spiritual energy had reached its pinnacle. But that Soul-Locking Arrow... once it locked onto its ultimate target, it would not stop. Judging by its persistence, it clearly wasn't willing to let her go. Feng Chen had been expending holy power to restrain it, but he could only hold it for a while, not forever.

"If you can move, go hide in the star domain. I'll figure something out," Immortal Venerable Peach Blossom said to her with a wink, trying to sound relaxed. "Don't worry, this Soul-Locking Arrow is aimed at you; it won't affect anyone else much."

Qiao Mu couldn't help but smile bitterly at his words. She couldn't move, which was why she was suspended straight up like this...

"Get away quickly!" Qiao Mu's heart seized with alarm as she watched the Soul-Locking Arrow about to break free from the entanglement of thousands of vines. Feng Chen's hand was injured, likely from his battle with the Thirteen Elders earlier. He must have suddenly sensed extreme danger approaching her to abruptly flash to her side through the star domain and intercept the Soul-Locking Arrow.

"Get lost!" Qiao Mu snarled at him fiercely. Immortal Venerable Peach Blossom turned, looking at her with a wronged expression. "No."

Qiao Mu glared at him, shouting anxiously, "Are you moving or not? Hurry!"

Buzz. In an instant, the Soul-Locking Arrow broke free from the dense vine encirclement, pierced through several layers of defensive barriers laid by Rotten Peach Blossom, and flew before the two of them. Qiao Mu felt her vision darken, her head spinning, and her heart leap to her throat.

"Rotten Peach Blossom!!" she shrieked.

The Soul-Locking Arrow had reached them, but Immortal Venerable Peach Blossom caught it with one hand, gripping it tightly in his palm. Qiao Mu saw blood streaming continuously from his palm, and her eyes seemed to be stained with a bloody hue.

Long Qian saw this and let out a cold laugh. She forced her broken body upright, her face filled with mockery. "Once the Soul-Locking Arrow locks onto its target, it's a fight to the death."

In this world, who could resist the might of a holy artifact? A hint of sarcasm flashed in Long Qian's eyes. Cultivators below the Divine Venerable Realm had no power to fight back against a holy artifact.

"Rotten Peach Blossom," Qiao Mu's eyes narrowed slightly, and she shouted angrily, "Let go quickly!"

Immortal Venerable Peach Blossom thought to himself: How could I possibly listen to you and let go? Even he found this Soul-Locking Arrow troublesome, let alone a little one like Qiao Qiao, who hadn't even broken through to the Transcendent Divine Realm.

Qiao Mu's heart pounded with anxiety, and she struggled continuously.

"I have a way to deal with this thing," she said with determined eyes. "You, pull your hand back quickly, quickly!"

Who said she was going to surrender?
