Chapter 532 - 533: Yun Ji, Why Are You Guys Here?

Chapter 532: Chapter 533: Yun Ji, Why Are You Guys Here?

Despite the continuous barrage of Bubble Fruits, the behemoth’s fur was only scorched.

The stinging pain sent it into a frenzy, stamping its limbs wildly. Before Qiao Xixi could react, it suddenly leaped into the air.

Qiao Xixi was shocked that a creature of its size could so easily jump to her altitude.

She quickly shifted the winds, changing her position to evade it.

"MOOOO!"

CRASH!

Having failed to catch Qiao Xixi, it crashed heavily back to the ground, sending the tree branches shaking violently.

"MOOOO!"

As Qiao Xixi wondered how to deal with it, she heard another cry, identical to the monster’s, from the other side of the woods.

The cries grew closer, and she saw a Three Unlikes, about the same size as the behemoth before her, come charging out. Unlike the Four Non-Beings, its massive body was covered in tiger stripes.

The moment it appeared, the Three Unlikes charged toward the fleeing females and cubs.

Qiao Xixi’s expression hardened. Just as she was about to move in to save them, the Four Non-Beings leaped up and pounced at her again.

Qiao Xixi had no choice but to dodge, but the Three Unlikes was already about to slam into the cubs.

In the nick of time, an azure figure sprinted forward. Gathering a massive amount of beast soul energy, it slammed violently into the Three Unlikes.

It was Xijing.

The Three Unlikes’s massive body staggered from the impact, and as it fell, it shattered the large trees on either side.

"Xixi, be careful! These things are tough to deal with." He had been blocked by them earlier when he went to investigate.

"Okay. You be careful, too."

As she spoke, Qiao Xixi formed another hand seal, and a powerful gust of wind enveloped the Four Non-Beings.

Its vision obscured by the wind, the Four Non-Beings pawed the ground in anger, let out a great cry, and suddenly charged forward.

"Ah!"

Qiao Xixi glanced down and saw Zhenzhen, who had fallen in fear while trying to escape. Her pupils contracted in terror.

If the Four Non-Beings hit her with that much force, Zhenzhen would be killed instantly.

"Wind, rise!"

In a swirl of motion, Qiao Xixi shot in front of Zhenzhen, yanked her off the ground, and shoved her aside.

"Xixi, look out!"

Qiao Xixi turned to see the Four Non-Beings less than ten meters away.

"Wind, rise!"

As if it had anticipated her move, the Four Non-Beings suddenly leaped high into the air. Just as Qiao Xixi took flight, it came crashing down on her from above.

Under the pressure of the Four Non-Beings’s powerful aura, her winds faltered, unable to lift her any higher.

Xijing, who had been keeping a close eye on Qiao Xixi, saw she was trapped. He flung the fin in his hand at the Three Unlikes’s eyes, then quickly turned and ran toward her.

But it was too late.

’Sprite, I need to redeem Flash—’

Before Qiao Xixi could finish, a white figure swept past, wrapping an arm around her waist and carrying her up into the sky.

Qiao Xixi stiffened as a familiar scent filled her nostrils.

Her heart leaped, and she looked up in astonishment at the face that was so incredibly familiar.

"Yun Ji!"

Yun Ji’s arm around her tightened, pulling her completely into his embrace.

"You’re safe now."

His voice was as cool and calm as ever, but Qiao Xixi could hear the warmth beneath his words.

"Yeah. Why are you here? Did you come alone?"

The words had barely left her mouth when a huge commotion erupted from below.

The Four Non-Beings, which had failed to crush her moments ago, was sent flying by the violent lash of a long, black tail.

This time, the Four Non-Beings was truly hurt. Its cry nearly tore through the night sky.

"Is that Sunxiao?"

’No, that can’t be right. Sunxiao and the others couldn’t have gotten here this fast...’

"It’s Sunxuan."

Qiao Xixi was stunned. ’Why would Sunxuan be here?’

As Yun Ji descended with her in his arms, Qiao Xixi spotted not only Sunxuan, but another familiar figure as well.

"Father!"

Yun Ji flew with Qiao Xixi to a towering ancient tree and set her down. "Wait for me here. Don’t move."

Qiao Xixi wanted to say that she could help, but before she could speak, she saw that the Golden Eagle Beast Group, which had just flown off, was now returning.

The words on the tip of her tongue changed. "Okay. I’ll protect myself. You be careful, too."

Yun Ji gave a quiet hum of assent, shifted into his beast form, and with a long cry that echoed as he tilted his head back, he soared into the sky.

Even in the dim moonlight, nothing could hide the brilliance of his plumage.

Qiao Xixi’s attention was soon drawn to the commotion below.

Qiao Yi was agile, landing a brutal punch on the Three Unlikes’s head.

The Three Unlikes staggered, its legs nearly buckling beneath it.

Xijing seized the opportunity, sending the fin in his hand flying. It sliced into the creature’s eye, and a foul-smelling spray of blood erupted, staining their beast-hide clothes red.

"Go to Xixi. Don’t let her get hurt," Qiao Yi said to Xijing.

Xijing nodded and turned, running in Qiao Xixi’s direction.

Seeing Xijing run over, Qiao Xixi ignored the instruction and rode the wind down from the tree anyway.

"Xijing."

"Xixi, your father and the others are here."

Qiao Xixi nodded. "I see them. Let’s get the other beastfolk to safety."

They could easily be trampled in the chaotic battle.

"Right."

Terrified females and cubs screamed and scattered, but there were still many pursuing males behind them, intent on killing them.

"Everyone, over here!"

Qiao Xixi shouted, and the females who heard her immediately ran in her direction.

"Everyone, get behind us! Quickly!"

A steady stream of beast soldiers from Tiger Beast City poured out of the woods. Seeing their growing numbers, Qiao Xixi formed a hand seal.

"Wind, rise."

A great wind rose, swirling into a massive wall of wind around their position and blocking the beast soldiers who were trying to break through.

Xijing stood guard outside the wind wall, striking down any beast soldiers who tried to breach it.

In the sky, Jin Ling and the males of the Phoenix Wing Clan had managed to lure the Golden Eagle Beast Group away, but when he suddenly heard a sharp whistle, the Golden Eagles immediately turned back.

Worried that the soldiers from Tiger Beast City had found Qiao Xixi and the others, Jin Ling hurried back.

When Jin Ling arrived back over the forest, he saw Yun Ji blocking the path of the Golden Eagle Beasts.

The Bai Feng had erected an invisible wall in front of the Golden Eagle Beasts. In the moonlight, his iridescent phoenix feathers stood on end, a clear warning: if any of them dared to move, the feathers would become deadly arrows and claim their lives.

Yun Ji was continuously releasing such powerful beast soul energy that even Jin Ling couldn’t get too close.

Yun Ji turned to look at Jin Ling, his phoenix eyes deep and grave. "Xixi is still in the woods."

Jin Ling nodded and had the Phoenix Wing Clan males take him down into the forest.

The moment he landed, Jin Ling saw a colossal, sky-swallowing python open its massive jaws and engulf the Four Non-Beings’s head in a single bite.

"Sun..."

Before Jin Ling could recover from his shock, he saw the great python suddenly spit the enormous head back out with a sickening squelch.
