"My name is Chu Liang, a disciple of Silver Sword Peak…"

 

Chu Liang thought for a moment before introducing himself.

 

"My name is… Jiang Xiaobai," the woman replied, glaring at the young Hakutaku. "I occasionally stay here temporarily. It was supposed to be guarding me, but who knew it would bring you here… and now I was just eating…"

 

Then she was seen eating noodles with great force.

 

Chu Liang looked at the woman who refused to reveal her name and found it somewhat amusing.

 

Couldn't you at least come up with a less similar name?

 

Hakutaku seemed to realize that he had done something wrong, looked around, and then simply raised his hooves, turned around, and ran back the way he came.

 

Slipped away.

 

"Hey?" Chu Liang called out, raising his hand.

 

You ran away so fast, why not take me with you…

 

"Since Hakutaku has recognized you, I believe you are also a kind-hearted person. Can you promise not to tell anyone about what you saw here today?" Jiang Xiaobai requested.

 

"Of course," Chu Liang quickly agreed.

 

If he were to say that he had accidentally met Jiang Xiaobai here, her fans would immediately fill up the Water Curtain Cave.

 

Seeing that he was polite and courteous, Jiang Xiaobai smiled slightly and said, "Thank you."

 

Chu Liang was about to be polite and say goodbye when suddenly there was a loud explosion outside.

 

Boom!

 

"Hmm?" Jiang Xiaobai's eyes sharpened as she said, "You should hide first and protect yourself."

 

Before her words had even finished, she had already flown up, her clothes fluttering, like a sharp sword out of its sheath, with an unstoppable momentum.

 

The burst of energy at that moment was almost at the peak of the Golden Core Realm, and her exact cultivation level was impossible to discern. But Chu Liang estimated that the Soul Restrainer that had caused him some trouble earlier would probably be killed by her in three moves or less!

 

Looking at her back, Chu Liang suddenly felt that this woman… gave a strange sense of security.

 

Boom!

 

Immediately after, there was a loud rumble at the entrance of the cave, followed by an explosion. Hakutaku's silver figure flew out and fell to the ground.

 

Bang!

 

"Roar!" It got up, full of anger, and the aura of a divine beast emanated from its body, its voice changing from a coquettish chirp to a deep growl.

 

Chu Liang's expression became serious.

 

Hakutaku, as a young divine beast, had at least the strength of the fifth realm. Although it was weaker than cultivators in terms of magical powers and magic weapons, it was definitely faster and stronger, not to mention its powerful bloodline and innate magical powers.

 

In general, ordinary demon beasts of the same realm were often weaker than cultivators, while divine beasts of the same realm were often stronger than cultivators.

 

However, that was only a rough estimate, and the actual situation was much more complicated, even luck could play a big role.

 

But no matter what, Hakutaku's strength was undoubtedly overwhelming compared to Chu Liang, a third realm cultivator.

 

But now, this fifth realm divine beast was beaten to the ground.

 

Boom!

 

The cave shook violently again.

 

Finally, a large black head with deformed flesh horns emerged from the cave entrance. It was a giant lizard!

 

This monster was too big. After entering the Water Curtain Cave, it rampaged and forcibly expanded the cave entrance by almost half, then barely squeezed in.

 

Now that it was inside the cave, it became even more ferocious.

 

Especially when it saw Jiang Xiaobai floating in the air in front of it, the giant lizard's eyes instantly ignited with a golden-red flame, and its huge pupils were full of greed and madness!

 

"Roar!" The giant lizard let out a roar, and along with the sound wave, black flames spewed out from its mouth.The sky-high black flames filled the cave, like a wave sweeping towards Jiang Xiaobai.

 

Hakutaku's cub rushed up, turning into a white light and ramming into the giant lizard. But the lizard's scales were thick, and its lightning-fast charge only resulted in a muffled thud!

 

Jiang Xiaobai scolded lightly, her hands forming a gesture, and suddenly a bright light shone around her. Countless sword shadows rose up, forming a wall like a lotus platform, blocking all the surrounding black flames, and the clangorous sword energy kept ringing.

 

Chu Liang watched from a corner, and the giant lizard seemed to have never seen him, nor did it regard him as a target.

 

From the current situation, this giant lizard was at least a sixth-level adult monster, and the fifth-level divine beast cub was a bit immature in front of it. Although Jiang Xiaobai's cultivation in the later stage of the fourth level was not fully displayed, it was still not enough to deal with this giant lizard.

 

Adding himself, a handsome guy in the mid-third level… Well, it didn't make much difference.

 

The situation was very critical.

 

Chu Liang looked around, looking for a chance to escape.

 

It was rare for a monster to attack people on Shu Mountain, and as long as a mountain gate elder found out, it could be easily resolved. But unfortunately, this cave had only one entrance, which was now blocked by the giant lizard, making it difficult for him to report.

 

"Roar!"

 

The black flames steamed, making the temperature in the entire cave extremely high. The rubble crackled, and the giant lizard immediately roared again, its whole body moving extremely fast!

 

Its seemingly heavy body was actually a deceptive existence.

 

Whoosh—

 

The giant lizard pounced into the air, opened its mouth wide, and its momentum was impatient, wanting to swallow Jiang Xiaobai in one bite!

 

But the suspended woman was not afraid at all. Her gestures changed, and countless sword shadows suddenly merged into a light and shadow soaring into the sky. With a flick of her finger, the sword light suddenly entered the giant lizard's mouth.

 

Chih—

 

Just as the giant lizard swallowed the sword light, it was about to swallow Jiang Xiaobai's figure as well, but she suddenly swayed and appeared in the air ten zhang away behind it without any warning.

 

She retreated in an instant.

 

Chu Liang recognized it at a glance.

 

Immortal technique, shrinking to an inch!

 

Among all the divine abilities, the most top-notch one was the various immortal techniques passed down from the immortal realm. They were often difficult to master, but their power was also great.

 

For immortal sects, the more immortal techniques one mastered, the stronger one's strength would be.

 

And shrinking to an inch was an immortal technique that Shu Mountain sect possessed.

 

However, there were many sects with immortal techniques, and people who could cultivate into divine abilities at the Golden Core stage were really few and far between. It could only be said that the woman in front of him was not only extremely beautiful, but also a truly amazing cultivation genius!

 

Although her cultivation was low, she still couldn't use this divine ability on a large scale. Even a short-distance teleportation was enough to let her easily escape, that was the charm of immortal techniques.

 

Bang—

 

The giant lizard fell heavily to the ground, completely missing its pounce, and it was clear that it was also very angry. The blazing flames in its pupils turned into a completely crimson color due to anger.

 

And Hakutaku's cub still refused to admit defeat, turning into a white light and charging forward again.

 

Plop!

 

The giant lizard's scales were extremely hard, and it happened to restrain Hakutaku's cub's attack method.

 

But it was still young, and its talent for divine abilities was not much, so it was helpless. It just saw it ram into the giant lizard, which only shook slightly, and then swept its tail, sending Hakutaku's cub flying again.

 

Then it looked at Jiang Xiaobai with its vertical pupils.

 

At this time, the woman leaning against the stone wall had a cold gaze, gently gesturing upwards, and softly chanting, "Heavenly Sword Technique."

 

Whoosh—Suddenly, a white light burst out of the giant lizard's mouth, and its expression became extremely painful. The white light turned into a stream of colorful light as its mouth opened wide…

 

It turned out to be the flying sword it had swallowed earlier, transformed into an incredibly large sword light and slashed out again!

 

Mighty and magnificent!

 

The Heavenly Sword Technique!

 

This was one of the most powerful sword techniques in the Shu Mountain Sect, and could be said to be one of the top divine abilities just below immortal techniques. Jiang Xiaobai effortlessly used it.

 

If not for this, she would not have been able to contend with the fifth realm peak monster with only the fourth realm cultivation.

 

Chu Liang watched her display one super divine ability after another, not only amazed at her strength, but also feeling a bit envious.

 

She knows so many divine abilities, why am I still struggling?

 

Huh?

 

Why did I say "still"?

 

Boom!

 

The power of the Heavenly Sword Technique was unstoppable. The sword flew out of the giant lizard's belly, bringing out a large amount of black blood that sizzled like lava wherever it splashed.

 

"Roar!" The giant lizard rolled in pain, but the sword had not yet killed it. Instead, it further stimulated its ferocity!

 

Ignoring the blood flames, it continued to charge towards Jiang Xiaobai…

 

Boom!

 

The giant lizard slammed heavily into the rock wall.

 

Jiang Xiaobai's figure flashed tens of feet away in an instant, but this time, she stumbled a bit when she landed.

 

Immortal techniques consumed a huge amount of true energy. Being able to use it twice in a row was already impressive, but it was not a sustainable solution.

 

However, the giant lizard was huge and fast. How could she dodge without using immortal techniques?

 

But…

 

Chu Liang, who had been observing the situation, noticed that the giant lizard had already cleared the way to the cave entrance.

 

He decisively shouted, "Sister Jiang, go through the cave entrance!"

 

With that, he also flew towards it.

 

Jiang Xiaobai had already noticed the cave entrance, but she was still entangled with the giant lizard and couldn't escape.

 

As she flew up, she responded, "You go first!"

 

In the time it took to say that, the giant lizard had already turned its head and charged towards her again. A monster of this level was earth-shattering when it erupted. People with weaker nerves might not even have the courage to run away and would be scared to death on the spot.

 

The Heavenly Sword Technique had already caused near-fatal damage to it, but for some reason, it was now even more crazy, as if eating Jiang Xiaobai could save its life.

 

But Jiang Xiaobai still remained calm. At this moment, she seemed unable to use the shrinking technique for the third time. She pointed her sword with her right hand, and the long sword instantly turned into thousands of sword shadows, forming a flower-like shield to block the giant lizard's path.

 

Snap! But the countless sword shadows dissipated upon contact, and the giant lizard's momentum was unstoppable!

 

"You monster!" At the critical moment, Chu Liang shouted.

 

He did not leave Jiang Xiaobai alone to escape, but instead threw three bronze balls with a backhand.

 

It was the Xuan Sha Yin Lei that he had confiscated from the Soul Catcher earlier.

 

Now that he thought about it, the only thing that could harm a fifth realm peak monster like this was probably the Xuan Sha Yin Lei. As a fourth realm cultivator, the Soul Catcher must have had something to protect himself from fifth realm cultivators. However, the giant lizard's defense was too strong, so it was hard to say how effective it would be. Chu Liang simply threw all three of them.

 

Over the past few days, he had learned one thing… if you want to play with props, you can't be stingy with money.

 

If you don't know how many to use, just use them all. It shouldn't go wrong.

 

Boom boom boom!

 

The giant lizard's attention was all on Jiang Xiaobai, and the Xuan Sha Yin Lei he threw hit its head, followed by three black rays exploding on its head at the same time.Accompanied by the roaring sound and ghostly screams seemingly coming from the underworld, the giant lizard's body fiercely lifted up and suddenly stopped in mid-air, motionless for a long time.

 

As the black light completely disappeared, the giant lizard still maintained that posture, with its huge pupils extinguished, leaving only endless anger and fear.

 

Chu Liang was stunned because he saw a golden phantom floating from the lizard's body into his own.

 

Turtle, this thing is so powerful?

 

It actually blew up the giant lizard directly?

 

He only wanted to delay the time a little and create an opportunity for Jiang Xiaobai to escape.

 

Unexpectedly.

 

There was also an unexpected gain?
