Roar!
A muscular figure suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Zhiyuan as it tried its best to jump up and block Xue Xue!
Whoosh—
The sound of the sharp claws piercing through skin made one’s hair stand on end.
Jiang Zhiyuan hurriedly moved back, and her face turned pale. At that moment, she really thought that she was going to die in Xue Xue’s claws!
The crowd focused on them and saw that a fiend was blocking Jiang Zhiyuan.
It was a muscular leopard that was completely brownish-yellow with some black spots on it, and it had a pair of wings. Its emerald-green eyes were deep and terrifying!
This was Jiang Zhiyuan’s legendary fiend—a double-winged black leopard!
At this point, Xue Xue harshly tore off a piece of its flesh from its back. Fresh blood dripped everywhere, and it looked terrible.
On the other hand, other than a small bloodstain on its claws, Xue Xue wasn’t affected at all.
Anyone could tell that although this double-winged black leopard was also a legendary fiend, its cultivation level and abilities were below Xue Xue!
In such a battle, it wouldn’t be easy for Jiang Zhiyuan to win!
Jiang Zhiyuan was still stunned. If the double-winged black leopard didn’t appear in time earlier, I would’ve—
The more anxious she was, the more lingering fear she had as her vengeance grew deeper.
She gritted her teeth. “Leopard, go!”
However, the double-winged black leopard didn’t immediately take action and was hesitant for a moment. It lowered its body alertly and stared at Xue Xue with unignorable fear and respect.
Fiend hierarchy was strict—higher-level fiends would always have extremely strong control and threat toward lower-level fiends. That was the legend that came from their bloodline, and all fiends had to obey it!
Hence, even though the double-winged black leopard had heard Jiang Zhiyuan’s comman<, it couldn’t get rid of the respect and fear it had in its bones for the higher-level fiend. Previously, it was anxious and forced by the strength of the master-servant relationship between it and Jiang Zhiyuan, so it didn’t care about anything and jumped out. However, it was still rather hard for it to go head-on against Xue Xue. Jiang Zhiyuan was very frustrated. “Leopard! The double-winged black leopard scratched twice on the ground. Xue Xue stared at the human and fiend opposite it, and a cold gleam flashed across its eyes. It charged out the next moment, taking the initiative to attack! The white lion’s target was the double-winged black leopard! Then— The double-winged black leopard flapped its wings and wanted to fly to battle, but before it could even move, the figure before it flashed across. Xue Xue had already reached its front! The double-winged black leopard was startled, and it immediately sprinted in another direction! It was fast, but Xue Xue was faster! The white lion went on its toes and instantly drew a few scarce shadows in midair! Shocked gasps could be heard from the crowd. “Even though the double-winged black leoparé’s cultivation level can’t be compared to this white lion, its speed is its trump card. Logically speaking, it should be advantageous in this area. Why has this happened?!” In the blink of an eye, Xue Xue had already blocked the double-winged black leopard’s path! The white lion raised its claws and directly landed! Crash! The double-winged black leopard couldn’t react in time and was directly hit on the head! Its vision turned black, and its body fell heavily and uncontrollably! Bam! A loud sound was heard! “Leopard! Jiang Zhiyuan was taken aback and immediately wanted to rush over. However, Xue Xue didn’t give her a chance. It rapidly landed and opened its mouth to bite without hesitation! “No—” Jiang Zhiyuan’s voice became shrill! Ka! The bone-breaking sound was extremely clear! One of the double-winged black leopard’s wings was directly bitten by Xue Xue in the middle! Blood splattered everywhere. The black bone was exposed, and one could even see its skeleton, which made one’s heart turn cold. Jiang Zhiyuan gasped and nearly fainted from the scene before her. Her father had personally found this double-winged black leopard for her on her tenth birthday. All these years, she had taken care of it meticulously and had a very good relationship with it. Now that she saw someone directly bite off its wings, how could she tolerate it? Xue Xue looked up, and coldness filled its ice-blue eyes with a hint of teasing even. Isn’t this clearer than ever—do you still want to continue?! The double-winged black leopard struggled to stand up, but Xue Xue restricted it tightly. Thus, the former couldn’t move at all. Jiang Zhiyuan was shocked and enraged, but she also knew that there wouldn’t be a good ending if this situation continued. She was filled with indignation as she tightly clenched her fists, and her palms were hurt by her nails. The earlier scene kept repeating in her mind! The six-degree lock was easily shredded apart by the white lion, and the double-winged black leopard couldn’t even retaliate at all. “I surrender!” Jiang Zhiyuan clenched her teeth and spat these two words out. The first battle in the second stage ended in this manner. The beginning was expected, but the ending was a surprise. Before this, the crowd thought very highly of Jiang Zhiyuan. However, who would’ve expected things to develop to this stage?! Xue Xue was swift and decisive in its attacks as it single-handedly crushed them! Even someone as strong as Jiang Zhiyuan failed directly. Given a rough estimate, she didn’t even last for 15 minutes. Hearing that she surrendered, Xue Xue then jumped off from the double-winged black leopard’s back. It looked down and rubbed its claws against the ground in contempt. The blood of such a lowly double-winged black leopard will only dirty my elegant claws. If I didn’t want to end everything quickly, I would be too lazy to take action. Jiang Zhiyuan brought the double-winged black leopard down. Rong Xiu leaned against the throne, and his expression was relaxed. His voice was low and melodious as he said nonchalantly, “Next.” This instantly made quite a few women’s expressions change. Next? Even Jiang Zhiyuan has ended up in this state. Won’t others be more miserable if they go up?! We do yearn for the princess consort position, but we first had to be alive to gain it. Itd be too much of a loss if we don’t gain anything in the end and even lose our own lives! “Hm?” Rong Xiu raised his brows slightly and surveyed the surroundings. Quite a few people lowered their heads. They clearly didn’t want to battle. 36 Respected Elder Ming glanced at Chu Liuyue a few times before he couldn’t help but urge her. “Yue’er Girlie, don’t you also have a legendary fiend?” His behavior was close to pulling Chu Liuyue up directly. Hearing this, many people in the palace looked at Chu Liuyue—including Jiang Zhiyuan. Originally, she was still helping the double-winged black leopard to treat its wound. When she heard this, she immediately looked up. Legendary fiend? That Dugu Yue has one too? She pressed her lips against each other tightly. So what if she has a legendary fiend? If she goes up, her ending will still be the same! Chu Liuyue stood up and walked toward Xue Xue before stopping ten steps in front of it. “She also has a legendary fiend? I wonder what level it is…” “She doesn’t seem like she has much of a background. Her legendary fiend’s cultivation level won’t be too high, right?” “But she knows both His Grace and 36 Respected Elder Ming! Perhaps—” As the crowd discussed, a small red figure appeared on Chu Liuyue’s shoulder—it was Tuan Zi! Hala! Tuan Zi suddenly spread its wings! See how I’m going to teach you a lesson today! “Roar!” Xue Xue also seemed like it was instantly energized! J will get you back for stealing my master! Whoever wins will be her fiend! Chu Liuyue was confused.
