68: Chapter 68 Chu Yaoyao's True Strength

The werewolf possessed Rank 8 strength; it was obvious to anyone who wasn't a fool that its previous strike hadn't even cracked the space.

However, Mu Cheng happened to be the one who couldn't tell...

"She should be able to hold on for a while... I'll step in then!" Mu Cheng thought to himself.

He eventually put away the sofa... becoming extremely cautious.

"Why is there no aura at all coming from that Little Piglet? And I can't see through that kid either." The werewolf soon noticed Mu Cheng and Peppa.

After hesitating for a long time, it finally made a decision. "No matter what, all of you must die today!"

This time, it didn't hold back. Although it only walked slowly toward Chu Yaoyao, the surrounding space was clearly seen cracking.

"What terrifying strength, but it doesn't matter... That girl has the Double-Faced Demon God bloodline, so there's no need to worry." Peppa's way of speaking was indeed a bit provocative and completely unpredictable.

Fortunately, it almost never lied, so Mu Cheng, who was remaining cautious, chose not to act.

"I'll listen to you. I also want to see how strong this girl is."

[Forget it, it seems I have no choice but to let Big Sister come out.]

Huh? Mu Cheng felt quite surprised; he finally heard her inner voice again after it had been gone for so long.

No doubt about it... hearing her inner voice was related to his own strength.

But what did letting "Big Sister" out mean? Although Mu Cheng had inherited many memories of Transcendent Martial Arts, he had no understanding of bloodlines at all.

He was still stuck in the state of his past life... only knowing the bloodlines of some famous people without knowing the specifics.

"Don't overthink it. Double-Faced Demon God means exactly what it says: one thought to become a god, one thought to become a demon. You can think of it as a split personality... but in reality, it's two souls in one body." Peppa noticed Mu Cheng's thoughts and took the initiative to explain.

Mu Cheng was clearly listening with a look of confusion.

"Whatever... we'll just see how she handles it! Although this werewolf has Rank 8 strength, it looks like its true power is at the peak of Rank 7, just like the Demon God we encountered before."

Why think so much? Seeing is believing... Since Chu Yaoyao could be so arrogant with Rank 6 strength, she definitely wouldn't be weak!

Peppa nodded and replied, "Mm-hmm, the werewolf's true strength is Rank 8, but it's being restricted to the peak of Rank 7."

Sure enough, after a short while, she suddenly turned into a different person, and a terrifying black aura emanated from her body...

From the aura alone, it was clear that cracks were appearing in the space around her, which was enough proof.

The werewolf and her weren't that far apart in strength...

"One thought to become a demon? Is that what it means? But I'm more curious about this Trader Space... why are there such terrifying existences here?" Mu Cheng didn't care about how strong Chu Yaoyao was.

Instead, this Trader Space made him very curious—from the Magic Tree Demon and the Demon God to this werewolf, these were all such terrifying beings.

What exactly was hidden behind all this...

"Master, this Trader Space..." Xiao Yao came out and was about to explain when Peppa suddenly spoke up.

"Ahem~ Now is not the time. There are some things that can be said, and some things that cannot."

"I'll just listen to the big boss then." Xiao Yao was quite speechless, but thinking of Mu Cheng's current strength...

She obediently listened to Peppa and returned to Mu Cheng's body.

"Pah~ fine! You rascal." Mu Cheng actually really wanted to know, but given the situation...

He decided to let it go... If Peppa didn't want to talk, asking further would definitely yield no answers.

On the other side, Chu Yaoyao and the werewolf were already locked in combat, their black gold sword and black gold greatsword clashing repeatedly.

Their speed increased until they were invisible to the naked eye, leaving only two colliding streaks of energy.

And as they collided, the surrounding space was shattering...

"As expected of the Double-Faced Demon God bloodline, it truly lives up to its reputation. Unfortunately, how much longer can you hold on!" The werewolf suddenly stopped.

Obviously... it intended to stall for time.

"Heh, it's enough to deal with you!" Chu Yaoyao didn't hesitate and released her Bloodline Power.

Soon, a white-haired man about three meters tall condensed behind her.

"It's Li Xuanyuan. I really didn't expect this girl to have already condensed a Bloodline Spirit that is a physical entity." Peppa was instantly shocked.

Bloodline Spirit? This was the first time Mu Cheng had heard of it...

But he still asked with certainty.

"A Bloodline Spirit is a condensed phantom. Is there a distinction between a phantom and a physical entity? What's the difference?"

"Of course, bloodlines also have ranks. Otherwise, how could she rival the peak of Rank 7 with Rank 6 strength?"

Peppa explained seriously, "Of course, whether it's an Ability or a bloodline, rank... doesn't represent true strength!"

"I understand that, but this werewolf's strength is at least comparable to Rank 8, maybe even stronger than an ordinary Rank 8... Will that girl be okay?" Mu Cheng was quite certain about this point.

Ranks were still somewhat useful; although they didn't represent total strength, for average ability users or Bloodline Power wielders...

Whether they were wild beasts, zombies... or the Demon God and the werewolf before them, humans were definitely weaker within the same rank.

Peppa said clearly.

"You're dead wrong. The peak of Rank 7 will always be the peak of Rank 7; in the face of Rank 8 strength, they are like ants. To put it simply, although the Bloodline Powers you humans possess are strong, except for your Devouring Bloodline, the sustainability of others' Bloodline Power is poor!"

"Oh! I see." Mu Cheng thought back carefully and indeed found what Peppa said to be true.

Others' Bloodline Power consumed a lot of energy and didn't last very long...

"It's good that you understand. You can wear others down, but they can't..." Peppa didn't explain much more.

The Devouring Bloodline was very mysterious; even Peppa only knew a thing or two about it!

"Li Xuanyuan, go!"

At Chu Yaoyao's command, the white-haired sword immortal behind her spoke in a robotic voice.

"Yes, Master!" Then, a pure white sword appeared in his right hand, flickering in and out of existence.

It was impossible to tell whether it was an energy form or a physical entity.

With just one sword strike, he forced the werewolf back.

"What a Double-Faced Demon God, but unfortunately, that's all there is to it!" The werewolf also suddenly exerted more power.

Soon, Li Xuanyuan gained no advantage and was being pushed back continuously.

"This werewolf's strength is so terrifying." Mu Cheng was shocked as he watched the space in front of him constantly shattering and then recovering.

If he hadn't broken through to Rank 6, he would have fled long ago with his strength, but now he was still very confident.

Even if he couldn't win, he still had the strength to put up a fight.

"Just be ready to step in. That girl's strength is indeed good, but her combat experience is too lacking. Giving her a bit of a lesson... might not necessarily be a bad thing for her." Peppa wasn't panicked at all.
