Chapter 438 Strange Rumour (12)
The two figures that appeared were wearing black cloaks, so their true appearances couldn't be seen.
However, just based on the aura that they released, it was clear that they weren't weak.
They were at least as strong as 'Mu Bao Bao' with the aura that they released.
The two of them looked at the spirit beasts that were surrounding 'Mu Bao Bao' and one of them asked, "Do you need us to take care of these beasts?"
'Mu Bao Bao' shook her head before saying, "Go get the others before they escape! If they get away from here alive, then our secrets will be revealed!"
As soon as they heard this, the two cloaked figures turned in the direction of all the people running away. Then without any hesitation or care for 'Mu Bao Bao', they chased after these people.
Most of the people that had come to this place were only low ranking mercenaries that were in the Qi Gathering Realm.
With the large difference in cultivation, it would take the cloaked figures no time to catch up to the people that were running away.
But when the cloaked figures suddenly turned to chase after these people, the two spirit beasts stopped focusing on 'Mu Bao Bao'. They turned to look at one of the cloaked figures each before releasing their pressure on them.
The cloaked figures were surprised by this and quickly turned around to face them.
However, 'Mu Bao Bao' suddenly shouted, "Don't mind them! I'll take care of them! You just get the stragglers!"
The two cloaked figures turned to look at each other before suddenly turning in the direction of the people running away. It was as if they completely trusted 'Mu Bao Bao' to take care of these two spirit beasts that were just as strong as her.
The two spirit beasts ignored 'Mu Bao Bao' and focused on the two cloaked figures.
But before either of them could make a move, there was a sudden burst of power that came from behind them.
When the two spirit beasts felt this, they immediately turned to look at 'Mu Bao Bao'.
There were leaves that had suddenly appeared around her, but these leaves were anything but normal. These leaves seemed to be glowing, almost as if they were completely made of pure energy.
The way that they swirled around her, it made it clear that she was controlling these leaves.
At the same time, the moment that they appeared, there was a powerful pressure that came from her in the form of that burst of power.
It was clear that she was starting to use some kind of secret technique that increased her power.
The spirit beasts had no choice but to focus on 'Mu Bao Bao' because they knew that she was a powerful threat to them now…If they didn't take care of her first, then it would be likely that they would be cut down here.
So the two cloaked figures were free to head out to chase after the ones that had escaped.
The two spirit beasts weren't allowed to divide their attention since the moment that they did, they would be cut down by 'Mu Bao Bao'.
Since 'Mu Bao Bao' was going all out, they had no choice but to do the same if they wanted to escape alive.
One of the spirit beasts was suddenly covered in flames while the other one was covered in ice.
The two of them worked together to combine the flames and ice together to form a single ball.
The power that came from that wasn't less than the power that was currently coming from 'Mu Bao Bao' which made her knit her brows as well.
Just where did such powerful spirit beasts come from?
But of course, she didn't have a trace of worry in her eyes as she faced these two.
It was as if she was certain of her victory.
In the distance, there were cries of pain and the sound of blood splashing that rang out, but neither side allowed themselves to be distracted by this. They all gave their full attention to each other, waiting for the other side to move.
Finally, it was the two spirit beasts that made a move first.
They could hear the sounds in the distance getting softer and softer, knowing that the two cloaked figures were slowly finishing up what they were doing.
Once they finished, it would just be a matter of time before they came back to help 'Mu Bao Bao'. So it was clear that time wasn't on their side.
Seeing that they didn't have a chance, the two spirit beasts raised their heads and poured even more spiritual energy into this ball of flames and ice.
Then all of a sudden, that ball of flames and ice flew out towards 'Mu Bao Bao'.
'Mu Bao Bao' could feel the pressure that came from it as it fell down towards her, but she didn't show a single trace of panic. There wasn't even a trace of worry in her eyes as she stared right at this ball of flames and ice.
She just casually raised her sword in front of her and there was a shield of leaves that appeared.
This shield of leaves seemed very flimsy, like it would burn away the moment that it touched the ball of flames and ice. However, it didn't as it stopped the ball of flames and ice in its tracks.
No matter how much power the ball of flames and ice had, it couldn't do a thing to the wall of leaves in front of it.
That is until suddenly one of the leaves burst into flames.
After that, as if by some kind of chain reaction, there were many other leaves that either burst into flames or were frozen in ice.
With these leaves destroyed, the structural integrity of the wall of leaves collapsed and all of the leaves disappeared.
However, when all of the leaves disappeared and what was behind them was revealed, the spirit beasts were shocked to find that 'Mu Bao Bao' was gone.
While they were trying to find her, there were some leaves that suddenly gathered behind them before they scattered to reveal 'Mu Bao Bao'.
The moment that she appeared, the spirit beasts sensed her appearance and turned around to face her.
They shot out a ball of flames and a ball of ice at 'Mu Bao Bao' respectively.
'Mu Bao Bao' just swept her sword out and cut through both of these weak attacks that had been sent out in a haste.
Then she was about to charge forward to attack the two spirit beasts.
But before she could reach them, she felt something from above her.
When she looked up, she found that there were a bunch of rocks that were raining down on her.
'Mu Bao Bao' could sense the spiritual energy that was surrounding these rocks, so she knew that these weren't simply rocks that fell from the cliffs around them. These were rocks that had been created specially with someone's cultivation technique, so they were quite powerful.
'Mu Bao Bao' seemed like she was considering facing them head on, but then she suddenly jumped backwards and dodged out of the way.
The rocks landed in front of her, blocking her vision of the spirit beasts that she had been about to attack.
When she landed, she immediately jumped out again to get over the rocks that were in front of her. However, when she jumped over, she saw that the two spirit beasts were gone.
It was as if they had disappeared without a trace.
If it wasn't for the fact that some of the ground was burnt and covered in ice, she might have even doubted that they had ever been here.
But what she couldn't understand was how they had suddenly disappeared.
After a moment of thought, 'Mu Bao Bao' released her spiritual sense to survey the area to see if she could find a clue of where they had gone. But no matter how she tried to search the area, she wasn't able to find a single thing.
It really was as if they had disappeared without a trace.
Seeing this, she couldn't help deeply knitting her brows as she stood there.
But in the end, since they were gone…there wasn't anything that she could do.
So she turned her attention to the people that had run away.
She could still see a few of them in the distance, but she could also see the cloaked figures that were chasing after them.
After a moment of thought, 'Mu Bao Bao' decided to run off to help them.
After all, if these people escaped…it would be very bad for them.
What she didn't notice was the mosquito that was watching over her as she ran off.
She had noticed the mosquito with her spiritual sense when she swept the area, but she hadn't thought much of it.
It was too bad that she didn't notice that the mosquito had been staring at her the entire time.
In an unknown space, Lin Fan suddenly asked the two girls in front of him, "Did you see the cultivation technique that she used?"
The two of them didn't respond right away, but then they suddenly gave nods.
Seeing this, Lin Fan then asked, "Did you recognize what cultivation technique that was?"
Both of them were silent for a bit longer before shaking their heads.
Lin Fan fell into deep thought before saying, "Let's keep observing."
The two of them nodded in agreement again.
