Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 115 The Power of Philip

Feifei stood quietly in front of Ruxiang's corpse, her fox-like eyes half-closed as she scanned everyone.

Everyone stared motionless at the ancient beast. Before the situation became clear, it was better to wait and see. Perhaps the beast would retreat when it saw so many people. Qin Xiaochuan pondered to himself that the ancient beast's spiritual power level exceeded that of everyone present. Even if they could win in a head-on confrontation, they would inevitably suffer heavy losses. As for running away, that was even more impossible. In front of a wild beast, such a choice would be tantamount to courting death.

If a fight is unavoidable, the best approach for them would be to join forces with the Conquerors to deal with Feifei, which would give them a much better chance of success. However, this is clearly unrealistic. Knowing Kawamoto Taro as he does, Qin Xiaochuan is certain that Taro might stab him in the back.

At this moment, the people present seemed to have a tacit understanding, all thinking the same thing: even if they couldn't join forces, they had to make Feifei feel that they were on the same side. Qin Xiaochuan knew that these kinds of strange beasts were generally extremely intelligent, even surpassing ordinary humans. The beast knew very well that even a level 8 spiritual power could not deal with three level 7 spiritual power users and several level 6 spiritual power users at the same time. If it was rational, it should have chosen to retreat.

The forest was unusually quiet, and this silence lasted for several minutes. The quiet atmosphere could easily make one impatient, especially with a corpse lying in front of them in such a gruesome state.

Just as Qin Xiaochuan felt his unease was reaching its limit, Feifei suddenly lowered its head and let out a low growl, like a tiger's threatening growl when its territory is invaded.

He didn't know what the other party meant. Were they asserting their dominance and telling them to leave immediately?

Before he could think any further, the Conquerors' faces turned deathly pale, and without a second thought, they turned and ran into the woods.

"Run!" Han Kexin shouted suddenly. Just as she finished speaking, Feifei suddenly raised its head and let out a long howl. At the same time as it howled, a bunch of bone spikes as thick as a thigh emerged from the ground from its feet. Not only that, the bone spikes spread rapidly towards everyone present, far exceeding their escape speed. In less than five seconds, the bone spikes had already caught up with Qin Xiaochuan's feet.

"Climb the tree!" Just as he was horrified, thinking he was about to follow in Xiang's footsteps, Han Kexin's cold voice came from ahead. Qin Xiaochuan glanced at an ancient tree beside him, and without thinking, he pushed off with his feet and leaped up the tree. Then, using his hands and feet, he quickly climbed up four or five meters before stopping.

As soon as he climbed the tree, the ground below was covered with a dense layer of bone spurs, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, each one pointing straight to the sky, each one over a meter tall, and the tip of each spur gleamed with a cold, eerie light, making one's heart tremble just by looking at it.

After getting down safely, he immediately glanced at the others. Fortunately, everyone else had also run up the trees. Han Kexin, Zhou Bin, and Guo Shiyi were in one tree, while Xiaoying was alone in another tree.

At this moment, he used his Heavenly Eye to examine Xiaoying's spiritual power, and what he saw shocked him so much that he almost fell off the tree. This little girl's spiritual power had actually reached level 7, which was truly terrifying. Was this really the cute and adorable little girl he knew? What he didn't understand was why he hadn't noticed it before.

Just as he was feeling a mix of emotions, he suddenly heard Han Kexin shout at him, "Watch out!"

Qin Xiaochuan quickly turned around and saw that after the bone spikes failed to attack anyone, they leaped up from the ground and pounced towards him.

Seeing this, he did not hesitate at all and immediately jumped to another ancient tree. At this time, he was five meters away from the tree where Han Kexin was. He only needed to use the middle tree for leverage to jump to her.

Just as he was about to land on the first tree, a bone spike suddenly appeared where he was about to land.

This happened too suddenly. His body was in mid-air and he couldn't change its direction at all. Moreover, there was no time to use complicated skills. He could only release a D-level skill, Silver Shield, in his hand. Qin Xiaochuan knew very well that a D-level skill could not block bone spikes, but at this moment he could only bite the bullet and go for it.

In the blink of an eye, the silver shield met the bone spike. As expected, the D-level skill burst like a bubble when facing the potentially S-level bone spike. Just as the bone spike was about to pierce his body, a blue glove appeared in his palm. Although the Qilin Armor was an S-level skill, its wide-area defense was still insufficient against a single-point attack S-level skill.

The blue gloves appeared and disappeared, and a sharp stinging sensation came from the palm of the hand.

"It's over!" he sighed inwardly. Just as he was about to close his eyes and await death, a tightening sensation came from his abdomen. Guo Shiyi had once again saved his life with her wooden vine.

Flyfly became furious after its skills failed twice in a row. It roared and then turned its gaze to Xiaoying on the other side.

Like him, Xiaoying was also preparing to jump from the old tree where she was originally standing to Han Kexin's side. However, she was small and had limited strength, so she needed to use two trees to jump here. Just as she was jumping to the second tree, a bone spur also grew out of the place where she landed.

Seeing this, Guo Shiyi tried to use the same trick again. Feifei had obviously anticipated this. Just as her vines were about to wrap around Xiaoying's waist, Feifei suddenly shot out a bone spur the thickness of a finger from her mouth, nailing the vines to the ancient tree.

Without Guo Shiyi's help, Xiaoying had no choice but to flick the ribbon in her hand and tie it to the first tree, and the little figure gently swung back.

Although they had temporarily escaped disaster, everyone knew that Feifei had its eye on her, and this couldn't go on. So Han Kexin decisively said, "I'll distract it, you guys save Xiaoying." Before anyone else could agree, she jumped onto the tree where Qin Xiaochuan had just landed.

"Hurricane Blade." As soon as she jumped onto the tree, Han Kexin immediately released an A-level skill to attack Fei Fei.

But Feifei was more cunning than they had imagined. It realized that Xiaoying was easier to deal with, so it completely ignored Han Kexin. When Han Kexin's wind blade blew, it lightly leaped forward and jumped to another tree, not only dodging Han Kexin's skill, but also getting one step closer to Xiaoying.

"Zhou Bin!" Han Kexin shouted anxiously.

"Understood." Zhou Bin replied loudly, his hand seals constantly changing. In a moment, thick iron plates were laid on the bone forest on the ground. Han Kexin immediately jumped onto the iron plates and ran towards Xiao Ying.

During this time, Qin Xiaochuan and Guo Shiyi also released a few attack and control skills, but their skills had no effect on Feifei, whose strength was at least level 8 of spiritual power. Instead, it took another step forward during the gap between the two's skills and then pounced on Xiaoying.

"Jump down!" Han Kexin shouted to Xiaoying.

Upon hearing this, Xiaoying immediately loosened the ribbon and jumped down from the tree. Just then, a bone spike that was originally located under the iron plate suddenly pierced through the plate and emerged from below, right where Xiaoying had landed.

Everyone's expression changed drastically. Zhou Bin hurriedly and desperately channeled his spiritual power to pile iron plates onto the bone spikes, but the bone spikes kept piercing through all the iron plates.

In the blink of an eye, Xiaoying was about to land on the iron plate.

Qin Xiaochuan had never felt so powerless as he did at that moment, watching helplessly as Xiaoying was about to meet with disaster.

At that moment, he felt as if time had suddenly stopped, as if everything in the world had ceased to exist. All that remained in his eyes was the little girl. He watched in horror as she struggled desperately but helplessly fell onto the bone spur, just as if a bone spur had suddenly pierced his heart.

"Pfft!" A stream of bright red blood splattered, arcing through the air before landing on the iron plate, forming several glaring blood flowers.
