Chapter 82 The two join forces to fight a 50,000-year-old soul beast, Heavenly Hand Power faces its first enemy.
"Forget about this."
Jiang Nian refused without hesitation.
Xiao Xue's hands are so fair and tender, how could they get them stained with this?
She'll be helping him in the future... cough cough~
Anyway, it's best not to develop calluses.
"Alright..."
Gradually, the two sat down and started chatting.
They chatted about funny things first.
Jiang Nian would often make Qian Renxue laugh heartily, and no matter what he said, it was full of emotional value.
"Little Jiang, where did you get so much knowledge?"
"From books."
"Oh..."
Qian Renxue suddenly realized, thinking that she should go back and buy some books to read too?
After a moment, her pretty face flushed pink, and she couldn't help but lower her head.
Little Jiang... he wouldn't be reading that kind of thing, would he?
She remembered that her younger sister Yue'er had secretly read a novel before, and she had been caught.
She had thought it was some interesting story, but it turned out to be that kind of thing...
However, she was still clueless about that kind of thing.
"Xiaoxue, what are you daydreaming about?" Jiang Nian flicked the little golden retriever's head, not understanding why it was staring at him like that.
Although its looks were comparable to Sasuke's, it shouldn't be like this!
"N-nothing... it's just..." Qian Renxue turned her head, her little face pink and tender, probably full of collagen if you took a bite.
"Oh dear! I'm going to rest for a while, you get something to eat... I'm hungry."
After saying that, she hurriedly returned to her tent.
Jiang Nian muttered a few words to himself, stood up, and prepared to catch a few Soft Bone Rabbits.
There were so many of these, you could find a whole litter no matter where you went.
He picked up a few with long ears, bled them, and cleaned their internal organs.
After marinating them for a while, he could put them on the fire to roast.
Night fell.
The four of them huddled around the campfire, their stomachs rumbling in protest as they looked at the food before them.
Little White, transformed into a large, fat cat, sat beside Jiang Nian, its eyes glued to the crispy, tender roasted meat. Living with him meant eating cooked food every day—it was like living in paradise.
Everyone received a piece, but Little White only got a rabbit leg.
Seeing that it seemed hungry, Ye Lingling shared half of her food with it.
"Big white rat, why does it look like a little dog?"
"Squeak!"
Qian Renxue chimed in, "Lingling, Little White eats a lot every day with us, that's why it got so fat."
"And it grew up eating medicinal herbs, it can't even digest all the nutrients."
Little White: "?"
No rumors, no gossip.
While it ate a lot, it also worked a lot!
What ox or horse could endure eight hours a day?
It worked four days on, three days off!
Jiang Nian looked down at Little White's comical expression, wondering if he should try to break its ten-thousand-year lifespan this time.
But what to eat...? Thump, thump, thump~The ground trembled.
Jiang Nian's eyes narrowed, and he instantly extinguished the campfire.
Staring at the commotion in the distance, he activated his Martial Soul first.
This commotion... could it be that the Plum Crystal Beast has taken the bait?
Qian Renxue was still gnawing on a rabbit leg; between fighting and eating, she chose to eat while fighting.
She jumped onto a tree branch and quickly swallowed large mouthfuls.
There was no time to care about her image at this moment.
The atmosphere quickly froze. The Heavenly Dao Umbrella in Jiang Nian's hand emitted a metallic luster, very beautiful.
The Ye family mother and daughter were also seeing his Martial Soul for the first time and couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"Roar!"
A roar reached their ears. Ye Wanqing quickly covered Ye Lingling's ears, while she used her soul power to defend herself.
Jiang Nian's expression changed slightly, as if he could sense the strength of the soul beast that had just roared.
Soon, a group of injured Plum Crystal Beasts ran over, their faces filled with terror.
The leader was a beast around 25,000 years old, followed by several thousand-year-old beasts.
Upon seeing the humans in front of them, they were utterly desperate.
"Hiss... Little Jiang, I think I saw a huge soul beast... It should be the Howling Tiger..."
"Judging by its appearance, it should be around 50,000 years old."
Qian Renxue swallowed hard, somewhat nervous.
Only Soul Saints could contend with soul beasts of this age.
The two of them were only Soul Kings, and the situation was a bit dangerous.
"Your Highness, should we hurry up and leave?" Ye Wanqing stepped forward, somewhat worried.
"No need, watch over Lingling."
Jiang Nian held the Heavenly Dao Umbrella and gave Qian Renxue a look from the tree.
The latter understood immediately and prepared to act.
Although the two were only Soul Kings, they weren't necessarily no match for a 50,000-year-old Soul Beast.
The Plum Crystal Beast was caught in the middle, looking left and right, unsure which way to escape. Ultimately, it chose to tear through Jiang Nian's defenses.
Seeing this, Qian Renxue immediately used her fifth Soul Skill.
"Divine Sword!"
The golden-red sword energy was still carrying raging flames. The already injured Plum Crystal Beast was almost instantly killed by the sword. The other thousand-year-old beasts panicked and scattered in terror. Jiang Nian didn't finish them off and let the little guys escape.
"Madam Ye, you control this guy first. After we deal with this Howling Tiger, you can absorb it."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Ye Wanqing activated her Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, ready to heal them at any time.
At the same time, she was curious whether these two geniuses could defeat the Howling Tiger, which was comparable to a Soul Saint, by working together.
"Sister Xiaoxue, your soul power is even higher than Brother Shengzi's?" Ye Lingling gasped in shock, feeling that this world was truly insane.
"Roar!" Seeing its prey snatched away by the two humans, the Killing Tiger immediately charged towards them.
Qian Renxue quickly ascended into the air, simultaneously unleashing a sword strike.
Jiang Nian calmly stared at the large rock in the distance, a flash of silver light in his pupils.
"Heavenly Hand Power!"
Swish!
Jiang Nian's body instantly swapped positions with the large rock behind the Killing Tiger, which couldn't brake in time and crashed into it.
Qian Renxue's sword energy also struck it, but it was of little use.
"Little Jiang, its defense is a bit too high..."
"Not enough, slowly wear it down."
With that, the Heavenly Dao Umbrella in Jiang Nian's hand spun, its surface finally stopping at four o'clock.
"Heavenly Harmony - Summer Solstice!"
Flames enveloped his body, and a sixty-meter-tall fire beast appeared behind him.
The surrounding trees ignited upon contact.
The Howling Tiger turned to look at the fiery beast that was half its height, and couldn't help but take two steps back.
Qian Renxue's six wings unfurled, and her Angel Sword was tempered with holy fire; their auras slowly unfolded.
Bang!
Both flames attacked its body, turning the entire night into day. Many soul beasts from the Star Dou Great Forest turned their gazes to this scene, watching with curiosity.
Before the dust had settled, the Howling Tiger suddenly pounced towards Qian Renxue in the sky, its speed so fast that the four people observing in the shadows couldn't help but feel a chill.
Jiang Nian's pupils flashed again, and in the blink of an eye, he switched places with it, only this time consuming more soul power than before.
"Hiss... His Highness's ability is too monstrous..."
