Chapter 4735: Obstruction

The frenzied Saint Beast let out a scream, radiating endless icy coldness.

Its vertical pupils narrowed, and a sheet of ice mist appeared around its body. With a wave, it instantly crushed the mist into thousands of tiny, bead-shaped snow pellets, densely packed and tightly arrayed in the air.

It hurled them en masse towards Immortal Lord Peach Blossom.

The brutal, icy cold air, which had torn through the atmosphere, rushed towards Immortal Lord Peach Blossom.

If he were to be hit by this, Feng Chen wouldn't die, but he'd lose half his life, and his body would surely be riddled like a beehive by the tiny snow pellets, a truly spectacular sight.

In a flash, Mo Lian released Qiao Mu, swiftly pressed a kiss to her temple, and whispered, "Stay here, don't move. Qiao Qiao, remember, no matter what happens to me, I'll always be thinking of you. No matter how many difficulties lie ahead, I will find a way to return to your side."

Qiao Mu's heart pounded. She felt Mo Lian's words carried a hidden meaning and was about to ask for clarification.

But Mo Lian had already torn open space, instantly teleporting beside Immortal Lord Peach Blossom.

Feng Chen, seeing Mo Lian rush over, grew anxious. "Why are you here? Get out! Get out!"

Ignoring his repeated commands to "get out," Mo Lian didn't even spare him a glance. He said in a deep voice, "I told you, if you die, Qiao Qiao will be sad."

"How could I..."

"Heh." Mo Lian couldn't be bothered to argue further. He narrowed his eyes, looking at the frenzied human-snake before him.

He suddenly extended his hand, erecting a defensive barrier around them, a cold glint in his eyes as he stared at it and said, "Get back to the seabed abyss."

Qiao Mu sprinted wildly, wanting to rush over, but she was blocked by the defensive barrier.

"What are you doing??" Qiao Mu felt an intense panic, an inexplicable premonition that something bad was about to happen.

This humanoid Saint Beast was indeed strong, but not invincible.

She had planned to self-destruct her secret realm to deal with it if absolutely necessary, so what was Mo Lian trying to do by acting on his own?

In her panic, Qiao Mu saw a black lotus suddenly spring up from the ground, growing to dozens of meters tall in a race against time.

At this moment, even through the defensive barrier, Mo Lian's face could be clearly seen, a little pale.

"Lotus!" Qiao Mu shrieked.

He was scaring her to death!

Even if he had to use special means like the ancient black lotus to deal with the Saint Beast, why did he need to block her outside the defensive barrier?

Unless...

Such a response would definitely have some side effects.

Qiao Mu's mind raced. She suddenly thought that Mo Lian might have... forcefully exited his cultivation?

There was a high probability of this situation.

So, if he rashly used the ancient black lotus now, it would likely have a certain impact on his body.

What kind of impact would it be?

Qiao Mu's eyes turned red with anxiety. She rushed over, banging frantically on the defensive barrier, "Open it for me!"

"Mo Lian, listen to me!" Qiao Mu was both anxious and angry, her heart pounding with fury. "If you don't open it, I'll ignore you for the rest of my life!"

It was always like this. Whenever something happened, he always wanted to keep Qiao Qiao out and deal with it himself.

Qiao Qiao wasn't just there for decoration; Qiao Qiao could fight alongside him!

She wasn't afraid of danger, she just feared that Mo Lian, this guy, always liked to secretly hide things from her and bear everything alone when trouble arose.

"Open it, fast!"

Feng Chen was also extremely anxious.

However, at this moment, the ancient black lotus had fully spread its enormous flower crown.

Suddenly, the entire flower stem ignited with pitch-black flames, the tongues of fire expanding outwards, as if to consume everything in heaven and earth.
