Chapter 618: Flower Fairy Beast!

It's a Hua Xian Beast!

Ye Qingran let out a low cry. She never could have imagined seeing a combination of the legendary Qian Teng Beast and Hua Xian Beast in the ruins of an ancient battlefield!

Compared to animal Spirit Beasts, this kind of plant Spirit Beast is far rarer.

The Qian Teng Beast and Hua Xian Beast are a particularly special kind, often appearing in pairs.

Even more terrifying is that their potential is no worse than that of a Golden Crow‑grade bloodline Spirit Beast; if the two join forces, they even have the confidence to battle an ancient Divine Beast!

A pink silhouette slowly rose from the crack.

It was a woman reduced tenfold, only as big as a pigeon.

On her head a rose‑shaped bud was inverted, a bra bound with otherworldly petals, and her skirt was an upside‑down lotus.

A pair of wings as thin as cicada wings grew on her back, fluttering like a dragonfly; her feet were barefoot, revealing translucent jade‑white feet.

At first glance, she resembled a flower fairy.

In fact, that is indeed the case; the Hua Xian Beast is said to be a fairy among flowers, possessing the ability to command all blossoms.

However, this flower fairy was not as pure and kind as imagined; she wore dark makeup, exuding an indescribable gloom.

The moment the Hua Xian Beast manifested, countless Qian Teng Beast vines surrounded her, creating a scene never seen under normal circumstances.

At that moment, other Academy disciples who had witnessed the earlier anomaly arrived, their hearts startled by the scarred sight, and upon seeing the Qian Teng Beast and Hua Xian Beast in the desert's center, they were even more shocked.

Another bunch of reckless fools!

The Hua Xian Beast's coquettish voice sounded like a demonic tone, particularly shrill.

Qian Teng, how about I slaughter them and use them as fertilizer for you?

Disgusting!

The Qian Teng Beast's voice came from nowhere, seeming omnipresent, a hoarse male tone filled with contempt for humans.

From their voices one could tell that this Qian Teng Beast and Hua Xian Beast were in their prime, their strength at its peak.

More and more Academy disciples rushed over, their hearts filled with unparalleled terror at the scene.

This was still their first time seeing a plant with spiritual intelligence!

Wanting to make us fertilizer, you probably don't have the skill yet!

These words came from Ye Qingran's mouth. Everyone stared at her, their expressions shocked.

Facing a prime Qian Teng Beast and Hua Xian Beast, she not only felt no fear but was so dominantly imposing—could this be Instructor Ye of the Shenzhou Academy?

The Hua Xian Beast squinted, its gaze shooting toward Ye Qingran like lightning.

Human, you're courting death!

The Hua Xian Beast roared in a deep voice, and before the words finished, countless petals shot toward Ye Qingran.

Petals rained from the sky!

It seemed like a celestial maiden scattering blossoms—exquisitely beautiful—but each petal was brimming with force, like the sharpest weapon in the world!

Swish swish swish~

Ye Qingran darted and weaved, deftly evading each petal; in the end they struck the ground, embedding into hard stone, leaving clear marks.

Ye Qingran watched a single strand of her hair severed by the flying petals, drifting to the ground, a hint of solemnity appearing in her eyes.

The prime Qian Teng Beast and Hua Xian Beast possessed cultivation that endlessly aspired toward the Great Emperor; in ancient times they would have been true Great Emperors!

Even within the ancient battlefield ruins, the Qian Teng Beast and Hua Xian Beast, affected by Dead Qi, still wielded Emperor‑level strength.

She could slay a saint with a single move, yet she still could not handle these two exceptionally powerful special Spirit Beasts.

Ran'er...

At that moment, a familiar voice sounded beside Ye Qingran's ear.

Ye Qingran's heart fluttered, she looked around, but saw no trace of the familiar figure!

Fu Hanxiu! she whispered, her tone tinged with urgency.

She was certain it wasn't an auditory hallucination, but truly Fu Hanxiu's voice she heard.

But his voice seemed to come from far away, carrying a hint of weakness.

What on earth happened to Fu Hanxiu?

Where are you? What happened?

Ye Qingran asked, but no one answered, as if everything just now had been an illusion.

"Mother, what's wrong? Is Father Lord speaking to you?" Xiao Chen asked.

Ye Qingran gave a gentle nod.

"Ran'er, I am within the dead spirit's realm and cannot emerge for a while."

"But don't worry about me; I'm fine. While the dead spirit is held back by me, go retrieve the Chaos Qing Lian Seed!"

After a while, Fu Hanxiu's voice rang in Ye Qingran's mind again, this time crystal clear.

She suddenly had an epiphany.

It turned out the flash earlier was the result of the massive battle between Fu Hanxiu and the dead spirit.

Although Fu Hanxiu did not explain what the dead spirit was, she could guess it must be linked to the Dead Qi, perhaps a monster formed from Dead Qi, possessing spiritual intelligence!

Ye Qingran was indeed worried for Fu Hanxiu, yet she also knew she could not send him a message now, and could only trust him.

What she needed to do was to quickly obtain the Chaos Qing Lian Seed.

At that moment, the Chaos Qing Lian Seed rose from the ground, resembling a slowly ascending star.

Around it, Black Mist continuously surged, neutralizing and draining the life force it emitted.

The process seemed to accelerate!

A chill rose in Ye Qingran's heart.

One must know that before sprouting, the Chaos Qing Lian Seed's life force is limited; its life force peaks when it blooms!

This Dead Qi is everywhere; sooner or later it will exhaust the few life forces of the Chaos Qing Lian Seed.

When that happens, the Chaos Qing Lian Seed will become a bad seed, unable to sprout.

"Human, you..."

Hua Xian Beast was halfway through speaking when it suddenly went rigid, blackness flowing from its eyes.

The scene is all too familiar; Hua Xian Beast has already been controlled by Dead Qi!

"Kill!"

Endless murderous intent spread outward, and for a moment Ye Qingran became the target of Hua Xian Beast and Qian Teng Beast.

Ye Qingran knew that the dead spirit in the space must have sensed Fu Hanxiu's intention, thus it controlled Hua Xian Beast and Qian Teng Beast, trying to stop her!

At this moment, Qian Teng Beast and Hua Xian Beast had clearly blackened, black aura emanating from their bodies, their demeanor vastly different from before.

Especially Hua Xian Beast, which became blunt and sinister, like a heartless killing machine.

Don't be fooled by Hua Xian Beast's smiling appearance; the power it unleashed was truly terrifying.

"Everyone, disperse!"

Ye Qingran shouted at the people around her.

Upon hearing this, they dared not linger and retreated toward the rear.

Qian Teng Beast and Hua Xian Beast are already powerful, and especially when the two beasts combine, their strength is naturally beyond what Ye Qingran can face alone!

Ye Qingran wasn't foolish; she couldn't clash head‑on with them.

Saint's Radiance burst forth, dazzling and brilliant, leaving the many Academy disciples nearby staring in amazement.

"My god, am I seeing wrong? Saint's Light?!?"

"It must be that I'm opening my eyes the wrong way!"

"Instructor Ye, a Saint? Heaven!"

Of course, some people near the crater earlier had already known Ye Qingran's Saint power, so their reaction wasn't as intense. Yet they were still shocked, and the image of her consecutively slaying three Saints involuntarily flashed in their minds.

"Grain of Light!"

Qian Teng Beast sneered.

"You even dare to release Hua?"

Hua Xian Beast replied disdainfully.

"If you obediently submit and become my contract beasts, I will spare your lives today!"

"......"

Those words left the crowd speechless.

Although Ye Qingran's Saint power surprised them, the strength of Qian Teng Beast and Hua Xian Beast was clearly above Ye Qingran's.

Is her bragging a bit excessive?
