Battle Through the Heavens: Live Q&a Session - Only I Know the Answers

171: Chapter 170 Xiong Zhan Saves the BeautyA trace of hesitation flashed in her eyes. If there was truly no other way, she would have to crush this jade token to save her life.

As for the Pill Gathering, she would unfortunately have to bid it farewell.

”Don’t even think about running!”

The tiger-headed man behind her suddenly let out a fierce roar, his voice like a booming bell, making the surrounding air seem to tremble with it.

As the saying goes, ”Dragons follow clouds, tigers follow wind.” In an instant, the tiger-headed man’s aura surged, like a fierce tiger ready to strike, radiating a chilling presence while enveloped in a sharp, powerful gale.

With dizzying speed, he instantly flashed in front of Cao Ying, firmly blocking her path.

Cao Ying’s expression changed abruptly; her footsteps halted violently, and her figure swayed.

She widened her eyes, filled with terror and nervousness, staring fixedly at the tiger-headed man before her. Her heart pounded frantically in her chest, as if it were about to burst out.

At this moment, the surrounding air seemed to have solidified, and every breath was filled with a suffocating sense of oppression, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

The other two beast-headed men also quickly arrived, appearing quietly beside Cao Ying like ghosts.

The three of them stood in a triangular formation, trapping Cao Ying tightly in the center, leaving her not the slightest gap to escape.

Cao Ying looked around at these three opponents, who were like vicious wolves, feeling as if she were trapped in a cage, and endless despair surged in her heart.

”Could it be that it’s already over before I’ve even begun?”

”How can I face the cultivation of the Cao clan like this?”

”How can I live up to my master’s expectations?”

”How can I be worthy of Chen Yang’s trust?”

Cao Ying felt a surge of endless sorrow well up in her heart in an instant. She was unwilling; she was unwilling to end it like this.

Looking at the three people surrounding her, Cao Ying gritted her teeth, silently put the jade token into her storage ring, and prepared for a desperate fight.

Although she was injured, she was, after all, at the Peak Dou Zong cultivation level. Facing three nine-star Dou Zong, even if the odds of winning were slim, she still had the strength to fight.

”Space Lock!!!”

The three beast-headed men attacked simultaneously. Powerful Dou Qi surged wildly, intertwining in the air to form a massive spatial cage, trapping Cao Ying within it.

Light flickered upon the cage; clearly, they would no longer give Cao Ying any chance to escape.

”Little beauty, you can’t run away. You’d better obediently submit to us.” The tiger-headed man licked his tiger lips and looked at Cao Ying greedily, his lust-filled eyes unscrupulously sizing up her figure.

The other two beast-headed men were not to be outdone, and as they looked at Cao Ying, they all revealed expressions of desire.

It had been so long, and they had finally encountered such a stunningly beautiful woman. After being starved for decades, they had finally welcomed their ”spring.”

”Damn it!”

Looking at the three unmasked magical beasts, anger surged in Cao Ying’s heart, but at this moment, she had no other choice but to forcefully suppress the anger and fear in her heart.

”Since you won’t surrender, we’ll beat you until you do!”

The tiger-headed man looked at Cao Ying’s unyielding expression, also furious, and immediately clenched his fists.

White Dou Qi began to condense on the tiger-headed man’s fists, swirling frantically and emitting a terrifying aura.

”Tiger Power Fist!”

The tiger-headed man let out a loud shout and punched directly at Cao Ying. The massive white fist imprint, radiating incredibly terrifying fluctuations, seemed capable of tearing through the void as it blasted toward Cao Ying with an earth-shattering momentum.

Facing such an attack, Cao Ying immediately made a decisive choice, preparing to release a Dou Technique to try and block the tiger-headed man’s strike.

However, misfortunes never come singly; the tiger-headed man was not acting alone, as he still had two companions.

The other two beast-headed men also released Dou Techniques no different from the tiger-headed man’s.

”Lion King Fist!”

”Leopard Power Fist!”

Attacking simultaneously from three directions, the three terrifying fist imprints, carrying immense power, flew toward Cao Ying like three meteors.

Cao Ying had no time to react at all, and a trace of despair flashed in her eyes.

Just at the critical moment, a dazzling white light suddenly flashed in the sky. A sturdy white shield appeared out of thin air, like an impregnable barrier, firmly protecting Cao Ying.

Xiong Zhan, who had appeared just in time, saw that Cao Ying was no longer in major crisis and let out a sigh of relief, raising his hand to wipe away the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead.

”It’s a good thing I came in time.”

Fortunately, Xiong Zhan had not notified the magical beasts under his command to come out and search; otherwise, it would definitely have been too late. Even if Cao Ying hadn’t died, she would certainly have been heavily injured.

But now, with his intervention, he had managed to protect Cao Ying’s safety.

If something had truly happened to Cao Ying, he wouldn’t know how to answer to his grand-aunt. Moreover, whenever he thought of that man in his mind, he couldn’t help but shiver.

”Who! Who is it?”

”How dare you stop our Lion-Tiger-Leopard trio? Are you tired of living?”

Seeing their attack blocked, the lion-headed man roared angrily. The ”good meal” that was within his grasp had been overturned, leaving him in a terrible mood.

”Hmph! It’s me. I’d like to see what you, this little lion, dare to do to me!”

Before the words had even faded, the originally calm void was suddenly torn open by what seemed like an invisible giant hand. Purple light flickered within the rift, and waves of spatial fluctuations emanated from it.

Xiong Zhan, dressed in black animal skin, his figure burly, slowly walked out from the rift.

He let out a cold snort, his gaze like lightning, quietly watching the lion-headed man, his eyes filled with disdain and majesty.

Hearing the voice, the trio immediately looked up, seeing a burly man wearing animal skin standing in the sky.

”Xiong Zhan!!!”

”It’s actually you!!”

Seeing Xiong Zhan appear, the three of them revealed expressions of shock, their faces filled with confusion. They truly did not understand why he, as a magical beast, would want to save a completely unrelated human.

”Xiong Zhan, we did not plunder for food on your territory, and this is our prey. What do you think you’re doing!”

The tiger-headed man looked at Xiong Zhan, roaring with a fierce exterior but a cowardly interior. He mustered up his courage and spoke to Xiong Zhan with an angry face, but a trace of fear was still faintly revealed in his voice.

”That’s right, don’t think that just because you are a Dou Zun, you can truly rule the Pill World!”

The lion-headed man also immediately joined in, but his eyes unconsciously dodged Xiong Zhan’s gaze.

”That’s right, we are not the same as we were before. The three of us are now all nine-star Dou Zong; we won’t let you bully us again.”

The leopard-headed man looked at Xiong Zhan with a face full of resentment, as if recalling some unpleasant memories, but his body still couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

”Heh, do you think I even take you seriously?”

Xiong Zhan sneered, his disdainful voice spreading across the entire scene like rolling thunder.

Hearing this, the three beast-headed men’s faces instantly turned livid, but they dared not refute it at all. They knew the gap between a Dou Zun and a Dou Zong all too well.
