141: Chapter 141 The Nine-Tailed Fox Makes a Move?!

Elder Su felt the terrifying pressure that was like the sky collapsing, his face instantly turning as pale as paper, his eyes filled with despair.

"Amethyst Rank!"

His voice was dry.

Carrying endless bitterness.

"Disaster! How could such a powerful expert descend? Looking at the situation, it seems they are also here to kill Son-in-Law Jiang Yun!"

"Even if the Patriarch were here, he probably couldn't..."

A strong sense of responsibility and a desire to protect made him unwilling to simply submit.

He roared.

His eyes crimson.

He actually attempted to burn his own and his tamed beast's lifeblood Qi!

Forcing communication with the severely injured Rock Armor Dragon Turtle.

Wanting, under that absolute disparity in power.

To tear open a sliver of an escape route for Jiang Yun and Su Qingxue!

"Son-in-Law! Young Miss! Go now! This old man will buy you time by burning his lifeblood!"

However.

His determination, in the face of absolute power.

Appeared so laughable.

The old man standing atop the Undead Behemoth.

Did not even shift his gaze.

Only let out an extremely light, disdainful snort from his nostrils.

"Hmph."

With that snort.

The overwhelming pressure blanketing heaven and earth suddenly intensified!

"Urgh!"

Elder Su was struck as if by a heavy blow.

A mouthful of blood gushed out violently.

The lifeblood Qi light that had just ignited around him was instantly extinguished.

His body went limp as if all his bones had been removed.

He collapsed softly to the ground, losing consciousness.

His severely injured Rock Armor Dragon Turtle let out a mournful cry.

Turning into a stream of light as it was forced back into the Beast Taming Space.

"A mere Gold Rank ant, daring to burn lifeblood before this Elder?"

The old man's hoarse voice carried a trace of mockery.

"Even if you burn yourself to ashes, you're nothing more than a slightly stronger ant, a pitiful spectacle."

Strong!

Too strong!

The power of the Amethyst Ninth Tier.

In the face of Gold Rank.

Was simply an insurmountable chasm.

An absolute, overwhelming disparity in strength!

The old man's indifferent gaze.

Like scanning goods.

Landed with great interest on Little Fire and Little Cloud Sparrow beside Jiang Yun, lingering longest on Little Fire's body, where water and fire intertwined with a faint dragon aura, and on the struggling Little Cloud Sparrow.

Jiang Yun was frantic.

His mind racing.

Desperately wanting to recall the severely depleted and injured Little Fire and Little Cloud Sparrow into the Beast Taming Space, even if only to temporarily preserve them!

However.

His attempt was immediately thwarted.

An even more formidable and frigid mental force, like an invisible rampart, crashed into his consciousness!

His Mental Energy and Soul power were instantly suppressed and frozen, severing his connection to the Beast Taming Space!

"Hmph, in front of this Elder, you still think of recalling your beasts?"

The old man let out a cold sneer.

As if witnessing something utterly foolish.

"How laughable. Since they have caught this Elder's eye, they are already considered mine. With your meager Gold Rank strength, your fragile Mental Energy is nothing before this Elder."

"Just give up your resistance."

As he spoke.

He moved his will slightly.

The massive Undead Behemoth beneath him.

Raised a claw shrouded in thick Death Qi, slowly and inexorably, pressing down towards Jiang Yun!

The claw had not yet fallen.

The terrifying pressure had already caused the ground beneath Jiang Yun's feet to crack and sink!

Jiang Yun's bones groaned under the strain.

He felt his body was about to be crushed into meat paste!

At this moment of life and death.

His gaze, in his blurry vision, shifted with difficulty to the side — to that figure who, from beginning to end, had also been pressed down by the pressure, yet seemed... far too quiet.

Su Qingxue.

She still lay there, her posture even carrying a hint of fragility. But Jiang Yun keenly sensed that beneath her seemingly trembling shoulders lay an almost indifferent calm.

It seems the only option now is to ask her to intervene, perhaps then there might be a chance... But she would rather endure suppression than expose her identity. Will she make a move?

But this is the only way now.

Otherwise, he and his beasts will likely perish here today.

The thought flashed through Jiang Yun's mind, nearly frozen by despair.

He gritted his teeth fiercely.

Using his last ounce of strength, he growled hoarsely: "Su Qingxue! You... you really don't intend to help?! Didn't you say... I'm useful to you?! Are you really going to watch me be crushed to death by this old man?!"

Su Qingxue, lying on the ground, moved slightly.

Slowly turned her head.

Revealing a pair of clear eyes that seemed to hold boundless depth.

There was no fear, no panic in that gaze.

Only a hint of amusement and... a condescending scrutiny.

An ethereal voice with a strange magnetism.

Clearly reached Jiang Yun's ears.

As if directly resounding in the depths of his Soul: "You... are you begging this emperor?"

She actually called herself 'this emperor'!

Jiang Yun's heart pounded wildly.

Knowing this was the only lifeline.

He no longer hesitated, gritting his teeth: "Yes! I beg you! Make a move this once! In the future... no matter what request you make, as long as I can do it, I will agree!"

Hearing this, the corner of Su Qingxue's mouth lifted into a meaningful, breathtaking curve. That smile formed an extremely stark contrast with her current fragile appearance.

"Heh... any request at all?"

Su Qingxue laughed lightly.

Seemingly a triumphant laugh at Jiang Yun's current begging.

"In that case, remember your words. This favor, this emperor accepts. Remember to repay this emperor in the future."

Their conversation was not deliberately concealed.

Naturally, it also fell into the ears of the Cult Elder.

The old man was first stunned.

Then, as if hearing the funniest joke in the world.

He laughed hoarsely, filled with ridicule: "Tsk tsk, poor little thing. Has this Elder's Mental Energy crushed your sanity? At death's door, you start babbling nonsense, begging a girl who can't even save herself for help? Truly laughable, pitiable!"

His gaze swept over Su Qingxue.

As if looking at a bug he could crush with a flick of his finger.

"Fine. After this Elder finishes you off, I'll send this little girl along as well. On the road to the Yellow Springs, at least you'll have company..."

However.

Before the last word of 'company' could fully leave his lips.

His voice was as if choked by an invisible hand.

Cutting off abruptly!

An indescribable, unimaginable, terrifying aura, as if originating from primordial chaos, erupted without warning from the girl he had regarded as an ant, like a volcano slumbering for eons!

BOOM——!!!

The moment this aura appeared.

Heaven and earth lost their color!

Wind and clouds reversed course!

The dense Death Qi permeating the mountain forest.

As if encountering a nemesis, emitted sizzling wails, frantically dispersing!

The Amethyst Ninth Tier pressure emitted by the Undead Behemoth in the sky, before this aura, was like a flickering candle in the wind, violently swaying, appearing so fragile and... insignificant!

The mocking smile on the Cult Elder's face instantly froze.

Replaced by boundless terror and disbelief!

He felt as if he had instantly transformed from a hunter into prey being stared down by an ancient ferocious beast!

Even his Mental Energy was locked down and suppressed!

His very Soul trembled under that aura!

Under his horrified gaze.

The seemingly fragile girl lying on the ground.

Casually brushed the dust from her clothes.

Then... slowly stood up!

Her movements were elegant and unhurried, as if the pressure that could crush Gold Rank experts was nothing more than a spring breeze to her face.

She raised those eyes that had completely transformed into deep ice-blue, as if countless stars were being born and dying within them, and coldly looked at the stunned old man in the air.

Her crimson lips parted slightly, her voice ethereal and majestic.

Carrying an absolute will that governs all beings and overlooks heaven and earth, clearly echoing in the deathly silent mountain forest.

"Old thing..."

"You've suppressed this emperor... long enough, haven't you?"

"In the presence of this emperor!"

"How dare you not kneel!!!"
