Chapter 808

Chapter 808: Guardian

Hu Jiao Jiao slept for a full half month.

During that time, Wang Chen stayed by her side, missing the discussion meeting on the laws at Qinyun Palace on Taiwu Mountain.

However, this was of no concern to Wang Chen.

His primary worry was whether Hu Jiao Jiao could get through this crucial moment.

According to Elder Yao, transformation was the toughest barrier for fierce beasts to break through; failure could result in the loss of all cultivation or, worse, death on the spot.

At this moment, Hu Jiao Jiao curled up on a soft couch, emitting a light glow, while an invisible wave radiated from her, spreading in all directions and carrying a mysterious charm.

Wang Chen stayed close, fully aware and in tune with the situation.

Though the power levels in the Misty Mountains Realm were far less than those in the Haotian Realm, it had its own intricate rules.

In just one year, Wang Chen had progressed from an ordinary person to an innate level, already grasping the essence of this world and gaining the blessings of good fortune.

He sensed that Hu Jiao Jiao had reached a critical moment!

In the next instant, Wang Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

Hu Jiao Jiao floated up, her eyes tightly closed as her limbs stretched out, and her beautiful fox tail swayed gently behind her.

A translucent, white fox shadow quietly unfolded, silently penetrating through the walls and roof, appearing above the home!

This was a sign that the fierce beast was about to transform.

Her aura could no longer be concealed!

The hidden Strongest in Taiwu City sensed it instantly, confusion driving them out of their homes to investigate the source of their unease. Soon, they discovered Hu Jiao Jiao’s manifested fox shadow.

A fierce beast transformation!

Many realized what was happening immediately.

Although fierce beast transformations were rare, the appearance of the fox shadow was too striking; even those who had never seen it before understood what was taking place.

A higher-level fierce beast was transforming in Taiwu City?

The Strongest felt it was unbelievable.

Figures swiftly gathered around Wang Chen’s residence.

Some of the Taiwu City Strongest were driven by curiosity, others by their duty to protect the city, but many more had greedy and covetous thoughts.

To martial artists and even cultivators, fierce beasts were treasures in every part—skin, fur, meat, tendons, bones, blood, claws, scales, and so on.

These were important cultivation resources.

And a higher-level fierce beast capable of transformation was worth an unimaginable amount!

Most importantly, this was Taiwu City; if they remained indifferent, they would truly be foolish.

Wang Chen sensed the dangerous auras approaching from all directions and quickly left the quiet room, leaping to the rooftop. He spoke in a deep voice, “Halt! If you come any closer, you will bear the consequences!”

As he spoke, Wang Chen reached for the Sunset Bow.

He had obtained many valuable items from Elder Yao’s secret vault, including the essence of higher-level fierce beasts. A portion had been given to Hu Jiao Jiao to aid in her transformation, while another part was drawn for spiritual energy and infused into the Xumi Ring.

As a result, the functionality of this storage equipment had been significantly restored.

“There’s a fierce beast transformation happening here, which concerns the safety of Taiwu City. We have come to eliminate it; it is our duty!”

A cold voice replied, “If you forcefully obstruct us, the consequences will be on you!”

Wang Chen raised an eyebrow and responded, “This fierce beast is my pet beast and has been registered with the Bureau of Administration. There is a record to verify.”

When Wang Chen first arrived in Taiwu City, he had taken care of the paperwork for his white fox, which caused a bit of a stir. However, once Mo Han, official of Taiwu Pavilion, intervened, the matter was resolved easily.

Even the schemers who coveted the white fox faced severe punishment!

“Your pet beast?”

The cold voice expressed surprise, “How is that possible?”

“What’s impossible about it?”

Wang Chen replied lightly, “Would you like to check the documents and tags?”

“Brother Bai, don’t waste time with him!”

At that moment, another rough voice spoke up, “He is stalling for time. If the fierce beast transformation succeeds, Taiwu City will face catastrophe!”

“Right! Well said!”

Echoes of agreement arose, and more figures appeared around Wang Chen’s residence.

Some moved closer to the courtyard wall, while others jumped onto nearby rooftops. Their various auras—some sharp, some overwhelming, and some profound—locked onto Wang Chen.

Among them were several indistinct auras, clearly those of innate strong fighters!

Hu Jiao Jiao’s transformation had caused an enormous commotion.

“I’ll say this only once.”

Wang Chen, bow in hand and expressionless, declared, “Those who intrude will die!”

Swish!

As soon as Wang Chen finished speaking, a flash of bright cold light suddenly shot towards him, aiming directly at his throat.

Someone couldn’t hold back any longer.

“Die!”

Wang Chen swiftly nocked an arrow and released the string towards the direction of the attackers.

Bam!

The arrow, infused with innate true energy, streaked across the distance of over a hundred steps like a shooting star.

The attacker, positioned slightly behind, never expected to be the first to suffer. Seeing the lethal arrow come his way caused him to panic and instinctively try to dodge.

But just as his thought arose and his body failed to respond in time, the arrow struck his throat.

Pfft!

A huge blood hole appeared in the neck of this innate strong fighter as his eyes bulged, and he fell backward.

His overwhelming power never had a chance to come into play before a single small arrow claimed his life!

【Qi and blood +200,000】

Wang Chen drew the Sunset Bow again, nocking a second arrow.

He had received three magical artifacts before leaving Chibi City, giving the Overlord Spear and Mountain Slayer Blade to his junior brother while keeping only the Sunset Bow for himself.

This precious bow, long sealed away, shone brightly in his hands once more.

Although the extreme lack of spiritual energy hindered this artifact from displaying its true destructive power, if Wang Chen could unleash just a fraction of its strength, it would be enough to deal with these martial artists.

“Let’s all attack together!”

The gruesome death of an innate strong fighter did not frighten the others; rather, it incited a shared animosity towards Wang Chen. Those who achieved innate strength were all strong-willed individuals ready to launch an assault against him.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The confrontation became fierce, and Wang Chen no longer held back, releasing a flurry of arrows that struck swiftly and fatally!

Not a single person could block or evade Wang Chen’s arrows.

Anyone targeted by Wang Chen was guaranteed to be struck down, like a decree from the King of Hell.

Even more terrifying was the speed at which Wang Chen shot; in just a few breaths, he released five deadly arrows.

He claimed the lives of five innate strong fighters!

Although the number of innate strong fighters in Taiwu City was not particularly high, this level of casualty was horrifying enough to make some hesitate, involuntarily slowing their assault.

Yet, some pressed closer to Wang Chen’s side, thrusting swords that shone with frost light, completely enveloping him!
