Chapter 53: What Kind of Strange Bird?

Swish!

Just as Yang Yun felt uncertain and hesitant in his heart, feeling unable to bring himself to advance but losing face if he retreated, a series of rumbling sounds suddenly came from behind him.

He looked back, his gaze flickered, and his expression immediately relaxed significantly.

At the same time, Wang Jianqiang also noticed the two figures appearing on the horizon.

The two were in the midst of a chase.

The young girl in front looked very young, with a slender and petite figure, and her facial features were exquisite to the point of perfection.

The woman behind had delicate features, but her physique was extremely robust.

Yang Yun could already be considered a tough guy, but this delicate-looking woman's physique was even taller and her muscles even more developed.

Every movement she made was full of raw power.

Mu Lingxi!

Su Su!

Upon seeing the two, Wang Jianqiang instantly recognized them.

He subconsciously checked their information.

Su Su seemed to have also obtained an incredible opportunity; her cultivation had actually reached the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage, just like Lin Xian'er.

As for Mu Lingxi's cultivation, it remained at the Qi Refining Stage, just as it was before entering the Secret Realm.

However, what astonished Wang Jianqiang was that, facing the pursuit of Su Su, who was at the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage, Mu Lingxi was at a disadvantage but not entirely without the power to fight back.

Because she was at a disadvantage in speed.

Su Su could easily and continuously shorten the distance between them and then launch attacks at her.

But facing Su Su's attacks, she was able to take them with minimal cost every time and use the force of the recoil to pull away again.

In this chase, the two soon approached.

"So it's you."

Seeing Wang Jianqiang, a flash of disappointment crossed Mu Lingxi's exquisite face.

She had been chased for half the day already.

Earlier, she had sensed combat fluctuations nearby and thought about coming here to see if there was a chance to shake off the tag-along behind her.

She hadn't expected it to be him.

Immediately after, her gaze swept over Yang Yun.

"Have you been targeted too?"

"Since I'm already here, I'll give you a hand."

Before Mu Lingxi finished speaking, she grabbed forward with her palm.

Crackle!

A bolt of lightning suddenly struck toward Yang Yun.

Yang Yun's expression tightened, and he threw a punch.

The lightning shattered, but his body also stiffened for an instant.

Immediately after, Mu Lingxi's voice suddenly rang out in Wang Jianqiang's mind.

"Run quickly!"

At the same time, Su Su's voice also came over.

"Junior Brother Yang, don't worry about that old thing for now; help me stop this little demoness."

The next moment, both women's brows furrowed.

Wang Jianqiang and Yang Yun acted as if they hadn't heard a word from them, and neither of them moved.

Mu Lingxi was furious.

She was helping out of kindness, so what was wrong with this old man?

Originally, she had been prepared to leave as soon as possible, but Wang Jianqiang's ungrateful behavior actually made her change her mind.

Swish~

With a flash of lightning, Mu Lingxi appeared in front of Wang Jianqiang and said huffily, "What is wrong with you, old man? I kindly helped you escape, yet you don't appreciate it..."

"Eh?"

Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly saw the disheveled figure behind Wang Jianqiang.

Lin Xian'er?

She widened her eyes, then looked at Wang Jianqiang in astonishment.

"You did this?"

At the same time, Su Su also caught up and stopped beside Yang Yun.

"Junior Brother Yang, I just told you to stop her, why didn't you move?"

A look of reproach flashed across Su Su's face.

This little demoness, with her lightning-attribute constitution, was truly troublesome.

Not only were her speed and attack power far superior to other attributes, but the numbing sensation that hit her body with every attack was something she found incredibly annoying.

That was why she had been chasing for so long.

If Yang Yun had listened to her and lent a hand just now, she might have already captured this little demoness by now.

Facing Su Su, who was in a state of questioning, Yang Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly.

It wasn't that he didn't want to help, and certainly not that he was afraid of this old fellow beside him escaping.

It was that he was afraid of being ambushed by this old fellow the moment he made a move.

This old fellow was truly somewhat sinister.

Even Lin Xian'er had fallen into the hands of this old fellow, so he had to be cautious.

"Senior Sister Su, look over there..." He pointed behind Wang Jianqiang.

Su Su had originally intended to scold him, but she froze upon hearing this.

She turned her head to look behind Wang Jianqiang.

Immediately after, her pupils contracted sharply.

That is...

Lin Xian'er?

Is it not?

How could the dignified Outer Sect First of Xuanqing Palace be in such a wretched state?

Could it be... that this old fellow did it?

Thinking of this, she suddenly understood Yang Yun.

It is better to be safe than sorry.

If Lin Xian'er was truly severely injured by this old fellow, his strength must not be underestimated, and being cautious was only natural.

Her expression shifted for a moment, and she secretly sent a voice transmission to Lin Xian'er.

"Fairy Lin, can you tell me what happened?"

She felt it was necessary to understand the situation.

If that old fellow truly had the strength to severely injure Lin Xian'er, it would likely be difficult to kill that little witch Mu Lingxi today.

Lin Xian'er's expression was very ugly.

Falling into the hands of this old thing from the Hehuan Sect was already hard enough for her to accept.

Being stared at by others with surprised gazes one after another made the sense of shame in her heart explode to the extreme.

In her daily life, the gazes she faced were always filled with admiration, awe, and envy...

When had she ever encountered such a scene?

This was simply taking the pride in her heart and trampling it wantonly underfoot.

Hearing Su Su's voice transmission, her expression stirred.

She was just about to respond.

Wang Jianqiang suddenly looked at her.

Her expression stiffened.

"Hey, I'm talking to you."

On the side, seeing Wang Jianqiang ignore her once again, Mu Lingxi was so angry she almost jumped.

Wang Jianqiang glanced at her, then looked at Su Su and Yang Yun, a faint smile appearing on his face.

"Do the two of you also want to know who injured Fairy Lin?"

Su Su looked coldly at Wang Jianqiang, "What? You want to say it was you?"

Wang Jianqiang shook his head and stroked the little green-feathered bird on his shoulder, "Little Chicken, tell them."

Chirp, chirp, chirp~

Little Chicken let out a string of chaotic chirps.

Su Su, Yang Yun, and even Mu Lingxi were all completely bewildered.

No, did he think others could understand bird language?

Wang Jianqiang gave Little Chicken a hard flick on the head, "Stupid bird, you're actually talking?"

"Go and finish them off for me."

A trace of grievance flashed in the little bird's eyes.

Yet its movements were without the slightest hesitation.

It flew directly into the air, its tiny wings flapping.

The world suddenly became scorching hot.

A large expanse of green flames condensed and surged toward Su Su and Yang Yun.

As the green flames drew near.

The terrifying high temperature not only made their physical bodies feel as if they were about to melt, but even the Spiritual Power within their bodies began to churn.

It was as if it were water about to boil.

A look of shock flashed across both of their faces simultaneously.

"Careful, this flame can burn Spiritual Power!"

Su Su was the first to react.

She threw a punch with a fist the size of a sand pot.

The force of the punch erupted.

The flames shattered, and countless fragments of green fire splashed outward.

Two figures shot out from the flames and dodged far away.

Although the two of them dodged quickly.

The number of shattered green flames was simply too great.

Even though they had tried their best to evade, they were still touched by the green fire.

It took a great deal of effort to finally extinguish it, and they were in a wretched state.

Looking at Little Chicken again, looks of horror could not help but flash across both of their faces.

What kind of monster bird is this?
