At present, Qiao Mu was most adept at manipulating the wood spirit.

  When she stretched out her petite fingers, a dozen wood vines shot out from her sleeve in zigzags, lashing out at Asi simultaneously like whips.

  Not only did Asi have to dodge the streak of fire from the ferule, but he also had to evade getting entangled by the wood vines. As a result, his movement speed slightly slowed down.

  Qiao Mu eyed an opening and summoned the Startled Swan Dagger from her conscious pool. She then aimed straight for Asi’s chest and thrust forward.

  Asi swiftly moved sideways to barely dodge that alarmingly speedy attack.

  However, the Startled Swan Dagger moved too quickly.

  Even though he had evaded swiftly, a wisp of mystic energy coating the Startled Swan Dagger had already slit open Ali’s thick jacket, directly grazing his chest with a shallow cut.

  Asi glanced down. When he looked up again, his unyielding eyes had curved into a snigger. “What’s this? Do you want to slash apart my clothes to admire my body? If that’s what you want, you could’ve said so earlier!”


  Qiao Mu merely treated him as a nutcase who was not just a little bit nutty. As she raised her hand, another dozen vines shot out from her sleeve again and wrapped around Asi’s legs.

  Asi squinted his eyes and stomped the ground abruptly. The earth layers beneath his feet churned, instantly erecting three earthen walls.

  Yet he closed in to force Qiao Mu within the earthen walls. Suddenly, he reached out to grab Qiao Mu’s shoulder.

  Qiao Mu couldn’t help but be enraged, and she threw a backfist at one of the earthen walls.

  As the weight of more than a thousand pounds was behind this fist, cracks formed sonorously in the earthen wall, and rubble sprinkled down.

  At this moment, Asi’s fingers were nearly about to touch her wrist.

  Yet Qiao Mu raised her leg to kick his hand away. Her almond eyes, brimming with rage, were glaring at him coldly.

  She suddenly activated a teleportation talisman, and her figure instantly vanished from Asi’s side.

  Asi was caught by surprise, and he hastily probed out with his divine conscious to sense her location. He couldn’t help but be shocked when he discovered her several hundred meters away.

  However, this short distance could not prevent him from swiftly catching up.

  After flinging out three teleportation talismans, Qiao Mu discovered a fatal problem.

  If she was clashing with the enemy, and the other party reacted quickly, then this teleportation talisman could only resolve imminent threats. It could not allow her to escape danger completely.

  This was because the teleportation talisman could only relocate her within a thousand meters. Although she could keep teleporting endlessly, there was no guarantee that she wouldn’t be teleporting back to where she began since these teleportation talismans were not christened with a sense of direction!

  By the time Asi caught up with her, he saw that little lady in blue clothes standing alongside the lofty palace walls, staring back at him unblinkingly.

  Asi’s handsome face had turned sullen, and he sniggered, “Go on, why have you stopped running? I thought you could run really fast.”


  ?Asi suddenly heard the whistling sound of the breeze behind his head, and his entire body turned taut. He abruptly moved to the side.

  However, it was too late as a metal fist had already pummelled his back at breakneck speed.

  Asi groaned in pain. He was stunned when he turned around, only reflexively meeting the golem’s icy fist.

  After a raspy hawk’s cry pierced the air, a hawk king dove down nimbly from the sky and grabbed at the golem’s head with its claws.

  Yet that golem simply paid no attention to that hawk as it directly hurled a fist at Asi.
