Chapter 1351

Fafnir's face was cold as ice; he let out a Long Yin, and black mist poured from his body—poison gas.

The poison gas continuously flooded into Jia Er's mouth.

Jia Er's body stiffened for a moment, but then his expression returned to normal as he continued tearing into Fafnir.

"...... Fafnir's poison gas... doesn't work."

Even Aluma, not to mention Fafnir, wore an expression of disbelief.

In that brief moment of distraction, Jia Ke swept Aluma away with a single wing.

Before Jia Ke could press the advantage, Xiao Lin Tuo's face turned cold; he opened his dragon mouth and unleashed terrifying flames.

He forcibly drove Jia Ke back.

Then, Xiao Lin Tuo flashed forward and lashed out with his tail, striking Jia Er off-balance.

Seizing the opportunity, Fafnir vanished in a blur and escaped quickly, though blood dripped heavily from his body.

"...... Things are dire."

Xiao Lin Tuo stared at the scene before her, her expression cold, her heart tightening.

All three of them, even against the two smaller Golden Winged Peng birds, could only guarantee a three-to-seven chance of victory.

Three against seven.

Not to mention, high above the sky hovered another... a massive Golden Winged Peng.

Just by its size, it was clear this Golden Winged Peng's combat power far surpassed the two smaller ones... Even though they had already prepared to die, seeing it still brought a faint sense of despair.

"How disappointing... You two, after this, you must train harder."

Garuda spoke, his voice deep as thunder, scattering all clouds above the sky.

He seemed somewhat disappointed.

He shook his head, then moved.

Garuda's beak snapped open with a swift hiss, unleashing a terrifying suction force from above.

As if the entire sky had toppled downward.

"Roar!"

Xiao Lin Tuo dodged at top speed, blasting flames toward the sky—but it was useless. That beak covered the heavens; there was no escape, no avoidance.

"...... Am I going to die?"

At the brink of death, Xiao Lin Tuo's lips moved slightly; she felt no fear, only regret.

"Xiao Lin..."

Boom—a sharp crack of brilliant Lei Guang exploded.

"Garuda, catch the axe!"

It was Lei Shen Tuo's voice.

Brilliant Lei Guang surged forward, carrying a colossal axe.

Clang—it pierced through Garuda's skull.

Brilliant, scorching Lei Guang erupted outward in an instant.

It wrapped around Garuda's body.

Blood gushed down.

"What!"

"Father... how is this possible?"

Jia Er and Jia Ke froze.

They stared at Garuda, completely engulfed in Lei Guang.

They could hardly believe what they saw.

"I'm fine!"

Garuda's face twitched; he let out a piercing bird cry, and golden light blazed all over his body.

He shone like a rising sun, surrounded by terrifying power.

The colossal axe above his head trembled, then—clang—it was flung away, hurtling into the distance.

The immense Storm Axe crossed the void, shrinking until it became the size of an ordinary axe, landing in Lei Shen Tuo's hands.

Lei Shen's body shimmered with Lei Guang; he gripped the Storm Axe, crashed to the ground with a thud, and gazed far off at Garuda, his eyes heavy with caution.

"...... How do you feel?"

Su Han's voice was calm.

"Strong!"

Lei Shen Tuo's eyes burned with battle-lust, regret, and wariness; his voice was low, "I'm no match for this guy."

Though unwilling, Lei Shen would not bluff.

The axe swing he just made was his full strength.

Yet even so, it only inflicted minor wounds on Garuda—not a fatal one... This alone proved much.

If no one else intervened, and he fought Garuda alone, he would be the one to die.

"...... This guy... he carries the aura of a god."

Garuda stared at Lei Shen Tuo, startled.

Then his gaze fell on Su Han—he suddenly realized, his expression filled with disbelief.

"Not just him."

The other one carries the aura of a god too! No... this is the aura of a god's curse.

A cursed one who slew a god!

Garuda suddenly realized, his scalp prickling with dread.

Although he had never been to the World of Godslayers, he deduced that Su Han and Marquis Wo Ban had once killed a god.

"……And that seemingly young man, though his aura was completely concealed, made me feel a deep unease…… Perhaps, he is an opponent beyond imagination."

Though he had endured countless things in his life, Garuda was still utterly stunned by this sight.

His brows were tightly furrowed; he even doubted whether he had misseen it.

"What kind of combination is this— a god and a Godslayer walking together?"
