Chapter 1649: Bit the Left Arm
She hadn’t imagined Gu Qingyu would be the type who didn’t distinguish between at and vegetables; seeing that Qian Jiyun was getting nowhere, she promptly set her sights on Zhan Beiye.
…
‘Roar, roar roar.’
The growling of demonic beasts echoed around them.
Without the suppressive strength of Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue, the demonic beasts attacked in droves, as if they cost nothing, treating them like they were dinner.
The guards brought by Su Tang were already entangled in a fierce battle with the demonic beasts, and even Brother Zhen and the others had joined the fray.
But it was still of no avail; there were simply too many demonic beasts. Everyone was injured to varying degrees, and although many demonic beasts were killed, even more sward in.
“There are way too many demonic beasts, right?”
Secure in Qian Jiyun’s embrace, An Jiuyue watched as the demonic beasts closed in without restraint.
Qian Jiyun had also taken down a good number of demonic beasts, but the ones surrounding them were still plentiful.
“With so many demonic beasts, Jiyun, do you think those few disciples can make it back alive?” She wasn’t afraid of the beasts at all—in her eyes, they were nothing more than ingredients that could be handled with a single potion.
However, her thoughts turned to Brother Zhen’s disciples. With so few of them, they insisted on venturing into the Zhedu Sea Area—were they seeking death?
If not, then there was only one other conclusion: they had life-saving abilities but felt, unless absolutely necessary, they didn’t need to use them yet.
“Ah!”
As she asked Qian Jiyun her curious question, Gu Qingyu on the other side let out a scream.
She had been careless and got her left arm bitten by the sharp teeth of a demonic beast. Although the beast did not bite her arm off, it was almost rendered useless.
Brother Zhen heard her scream and went over to assist, killing the demonic beast, and gave her a side glance.
“A low-level demon beast injured you?”
“I…”
Gu Qingyu felt extrely wronged.
With so many demonic beasts, she couldn’t cover every side, and in a mont of inattention, she had been bitten. Was that her fault?
Why didn’t Brother Zhen criticize those two? Clearly, their cultivation levels were the strongest yet they behaved as if they were just playing a ga, hardly focusing on killing demonic beasts.
Why didn’t he berate them instead?
“Princess Consort Qian, don’t you have the Strangling Formation? Why aren’t you using it?” She looked up in An Jiuyue’s direction, shouting out her question.
Hearing her, An Jiuyue’s eyebrows lifted slightly.
“Yes, I do have the Strangling Formation, so what?” She retorted Gu Qingyu.
Just because she had the Strangling Formation, it didn’t an she was obliged to use it. Why should she? Or was it that she owed them sothing, and had to use her life-saving technique for their sake?
“You’re not going to use it?”
Gu Qingyu realized then how cruel this woman was. Was she deliberately watching them suffer at the hands of the demonic beasts, refusing to use her Strangling Formation?
“With so many demonic beasts, we simply can’t kill them all. If we don’t use the Strangling Formation, many of us will die. Princess Consort Qian, how can you be like this? Do our lives really an nothing to you?”
She hid behind Brother Zhen, watching him fight the demonic beasts, and yelled at An Jiuyue.
“Tch.”
An Jiuyue sneered and couldn’t be bothered to respond to this woman’s provocation.
