Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace

The two Great Demons charged straight at the group from front and back.

Because Nangong Xue and the others were present, Xiao Jiu couldn’t exert her true strength. In the ensuing chaos, they quickly fell into a disadvantage.

”Chi Shi, kill the men, be gentle with the women, I want to capture them and make them my female slaves.”

Seeing that the situation was quickly in their favor, Chi Ya, feeling victory was assured, scanned the women with his tiger-like eyes, forming other thoughts.

Chi Shi nodded and charged towards the weakest, Nangong Yue. Flames raged, and the air kept exploding.

Witnessing this, the three of Jin Wu hurriedly moved in to block. Chen Mo also wanted to help, but was intercepted by Chi Ya.

Although Chi Shi was only at the Basic Level of the Golden Core, he was not something the three at the Foundation Establishment Realm could resist. They were soon defeated, and Wang Wen was swept away by a tiger’s tail, his life or death uncertain.

Meanwhile, the attacks from the four, including Chen Mo, landed on Chi Ya’s massive body. Although they didn’t break his hide, they forced him to retreat continuously.

Enraged, Chi Ya raised his head, True Qi surging in his mouth. In a moment, a column of flames shot out from his mouth. With a loud boom, a large tree was blasted in half.

If Chen Mo hadn’t dodged in time, his fate would have been that of the tree.

Even so, the powerful shockwave forced Zhao Qianyi and Jiang Ruoqing to retreat over ten steps.

”We can’t go on like this. With them here, I can’t reveal all my cards.” Chen Mo glanced at Nangong Xue and the others, then said to Jin Wu, ”Brother Jin, take your people and leave first. Xiao Jiu and I will cover your escape.”

”Husband.” Hearing this, Jiang Ruoqing trembled slightly, calling Chen Mo ’husband’ with concern on her face.

Zhao Qianyi, tightly holding a large knife taken from a direct robbery, looked at Chen Mo without backing down.

”Brother Chen, I, Jin Wu, am not one to fear death and abandon you to flee. If we go, we go together,” Jin Wu spoke righteously.

”That’s right, we go together,” Wu Hua also spoke up.

The two sisters, although silent, clearly showed from their ready-to-fight expressions that they wouldn’t abandon their companions to flee either.

”Rest assured, I won’t fight a battle I’m not sure of. Once you leave, I have my own way out. Staying here will only hold me back,” Chen Mo spoke straightforwardly.

Nangong Xue glanced at him, somewhat unconvinced.

Jin Wu looked at him worriedly.

”Don’t worry, I’m not the type to sacrifice my life to cover your escape,” Chen Mo joked.

Hearing this, Jin Wu relaxed and said, ”Wang Wen, take the two young ladies and go.”

Saying this, Jin Wu moved towards the unconscious Wu Hua to take him along.

Chen Mo looked at Zhao Qianyi and Jiang Ruoqing, ”Qianyi, Ruoqing, you too, leave.”

Zhao Qianyi took a deep look at Chen Mo, then exchanged a glance with Jiang Ruoqing. The two women spoke in unison, ”Be careful yourself, we’ll wait for you ahead.”

With that, they broke away from the combat circle and dashed forward.

”Trying to escape?” Chi Ya, seeing this group of humans not taking him seriously, was immediately enraged. Enveloped in Flame Qi, he shot out, aiming to grab the two women.

With a clanging sound, Chen Mo intercepted, Tianwen sparking against Chi Ya’s tiger claw.

”Go quickly,” Chen Mo shouted, glancing back to see that Xiao Jiu had already blocked Chi Shi.

”Take care, Brother Chen,” Jin Wu supported Wu Hua as he passed by Chen Mo.

As Nangong Xue and Nangong Yue passed by him, the former’s cold expression slightly softened. The latter lightly pursed her lips and, after some hesitation, turned back to Chen Mo and said, ”You... be careful.”

Though a simple sentence, Nangong Yue’s cheeks flushed red.

Nangong Xue furrowed her brow, saying nothing.

Chi Ya, seeing himself intercepted by Chen Mo and the escaping humans, could only call his subordinates to give chase.

Chen Mo and Xiao Jiu were under pressure from them.

”Do you think you can stop me with just your lot?” Chi Ya roared, his tiger claw whistling as it violently slashed at Chen Mo, tearing the ground below.

Chen Mo used Shifting Form and Position, flashing a distance back to avoid Chi Ya’s sharp claw attack.

”All you can do is hide like a rat?” Chi Ya sneered disdainfully, his response swift. A cruel glint flashed in his eyes, and his Flame Claw once again roared towards Chen Mo.

”They should be far away by now...”

”Come, let me see just how far one in the Golden Core Realm can go.”

A thought moved in Chen Mo’s mind, and starting from his feet, time around seemed to slow. The surroundings turned black and white, enveloping Chi Ya.

At the same time, overwhelming True Qi surged from Chen Mo’s body, his aura fully unleashed.

”Stinking fellow, you’ve had enough fun—now it’s my turn.”

After dodging Chi Shi’s attack, Xiao Jiu’s face turned serious. Next moment, she was enveloped in a brilliant silver light. When the light faded, a two-tailed silver fox about the same size as Chi Shi appeared before him.

Facing yet another claw attack from Chi Shi, Xiao Jiu directly clashed with it, gaining no edge in the exchange.

Chi Shi’s eyes widened: ”You... are a demon?”

”Being a demon, you dare to help humans,” Chi Shi roared angrily.

But soon, following a roar from Xiao Jiu, Chi Shi felt a deep-seated dread from inside out, as if being suppressed by something from the depths of his bloodline.

Intuition told Chi Shi that this fox demon had an extraordinary origin.

Impossible, it wasn’t even at the Golden Core Realm, how could it transform into human form?

Chi Shi began to retreat: ”Who... who are you?”

Xiao Jiu didn’t answer but, like a child, said, ”You’ve hit me so many times, now it’s my turn.”

Xiao Jiu struck, targeting Chi Shi’s weakness, its speed startling Chi Shi.

Not only that, the ferocity of Xiao Jiu’s claw also terrified Chi Shi. Though not appearing imposing, the claw left hideous gashes on its body.

”Chi Shi,” Chi Ya, witnessing this, wanted to help, but in that moment, he was hit hard, forcefully knocked back.

What seemed like Chen Mo’s previously soft punches were now incredibly powerful.

”Damn human!”

”Roar!”

Having taken a heavy blow, Chi Ya shook his head in rage, flames surged from his body, as if incinerating his own flesh.

Soon, his body swelled immensely. A seven or eight-zhang body stood like a small mountain.

With a roar, a large tree was felled by its mighty voice, the reverberations echoing through the forest and beyond.
