Chapter 437: Chapter 437: Facing Up_1

"Finally..."

Seeing Najia’s movement, Feng Yuan smiled. As she stepped out, the Wolf God’s Robe on Najia’s body was lifted by a gust of wind, and a pitch-black ink blot quickly spread across the pristine robe, dyeing it jet black.

A circle of black light spread from Najia’s feet and the multicolored barrier shattered with a bang as Najia began to transform. Slantish Cassana was about to swing her dagger at Najia but was stopped by a black barrier.

Najia looked at Slantish Cassana with icy eyes. With a slight lift of her hand, the black Rune Stones floating beside her suddenly combined into a strange pattern, and a malice from the sky pierced through the earth, locking onto Slantish Cassana.

The next moment, a beam of black light descended from the sky and fiercely struck Slantish Cassana. Qi Chen watched the continuous assault on Slantish Cassana by Najia and fearfully took a few steps back, saying

"What in the world has happened to it?"

"Is this Yagina? Indeed, the other side of a Two-sided Divine Beast is exceptionally terrifying..."

Dou Yanlan said calmly. She had some guesses about this situation and looked at Feng Yuan, then with some confusion, she asked,

"Is this really okay?"

"This is a part of its power. Defense without offense won’t do."

Feng Yuan spoke these puzzling words. Dou Yanlan had a moment of realization and said,

"Indeed, a prolonged defense will eventually fail, and moreover, those coveting the power of Divine Beasts might not..."

"Najia! Are you alright?"

Seeing Slantish Cassana collapse on the ground, Najia breathed a sigh of relief and reverted back to the appearance of wearing the white Ritual Robe. Suddenly, her body wobbled, seemingly unsteady, and Yang Hongzhi quickly rushed forward to catch her. Lying in Yang Hongzhi’s arms, Najia looked up at him with a smile.

"You’ve worked hard..."

Yang Hongzhi whispered to Najia. Seeing Najia’s exhausted appearance, Jenna spoke with concern,

"Najia, are you okay?"

Najia gave Jenna a reassuring smile and waved her hand, indicating she was fine. Looking at Slantish Cassana lying motionless on the ground, Jenna said with some sadness,

"I never thought Aunt Lan would actually be one of his people..."

As she spoke, Jenna abruptly drew her umbrella sword. A shadow of the blade swept over, and Slantish Cassana along with the guards were devoid of life. Yang Hongzhi looked at Jenna with worry and said,

"Was that really necessary... After all, she wasn’t..."

Jenna’s gaze fixed coldly on the corpses of Slantish Cassana and the others as she said,

"Either don’t act, or leave no troubles behind."

Applause sounded, and a mature woman’s voice, tinged with provocation, came from the darkness behind the door,

"No wonder father still hoped you would change your mind. You truly are worthy of being part of our Xilite family."

"Mimili, did you come here just to say that to me?"

At that moment, a woman who bore a slight resemblance to Jenna emerged slowly from the darkness, flicking the whip in her hand. Mimili said with a sneer,

"Of course not, even though he’s disappointed in you, it seems he has no intention of taking your life~"

"But you’re right about one thing... either don’t act, or leave no troubles behind! You have betrayed the Xilite family, so you, ought to... die!"

Jenna parried the incoming whip with her umbrella sword, looking disdainfully at Mimili and said,

"Just you? When have you ever beaten me since we were kids?"

"That’s not certain~ You have no idea what you’ve missed out on~"

Mimili spoke as black mist began to emanate from her body, with both her body and clothes transforming in the swirling fog.

"Tsk, how shameless."

Feng Yuan glanced disdainfully at Mimili’s transformed state, muttering that even after her change, the scant fabric of her clothes looked too much like those of the alluring demons from legends. Gina looked down at her own grand attire, which wrapped her tightly, and with a mocking tone, she said to Mimili,

"Are you implying I missed out on such shameless clothing? Even the bad women in the commoners’ district wouldn’t dress like you."

"This is just the necessary price for gaining power~"

Mimili made a coquettish gesture and suddenly flung her whip, dark power clinging to it as it lashed towards Gina. Gina realized her weapons couldn’t stop the whip and tried to dodge, but found herself locked by an unknown force, rendering her unable to move. Just then, Najia jumped out from Yang Hongzhi’s arms, chanting a melodious song.

One by one, stars emerged and circled around Najia, a barrier shimmering with rainbow starlight easily halting the whip. As the whip struck, it sprayed bursts of Black Mist. Najia stepped forward, the robe adorning her changed to a blackish-grey, and the rotating stars began to dim, igniting with crimson flames.

With a small hand pointing forward, the stars rushed fiercely towards Mimili.

With a sudden explosion, the barrier that had shrouded Calien Town in ghostly fog broke, and as the dust settled, Yang Hongzhi looked at Najia in his arms and smiled, asking,

"Are you alright?"

"I think you’re the one in trouble..."

Feng Yuan wordlessly patted White Wolf Deity’s head as a Rain of Life fell upon Yang Hongzhi. The wounds on Yang Hongzhi’s back from the explosion quickly healed under the Rain of Life. Glancing at Yang Hongzhi, Feng Yuan said helplessly,

"Are you an idiot? Which Spirit Beast gets injured by its own ultimate move? Even Big Cat wouldn’t let that happen, alright?"

Yang Hongzhi chuckled foolishly, protecting Najia in his arms, while White Wolf Deity stomped a paw, burying everyone in the soil which then shifted to either side. Qi Xiaoshuang, somewhat speechless, asked,

"What’s going on? Does Najia’s ultimate move not discern between friend and foe?"

"No, that’s not the case. It’s just that Najia has never tested her power in the Yagina form before; without proper control, such things happen."

Feng Yuan said with a smile, explaining that this was why he never allowed Xiao Ji to use moves requiring fine control under the state of Coming of the Future or as an Incarnation of Power. Xiao Ji simply couldn’t handle such overwhelming power.

"Can Najia use fog-related ultimate moves?"

Looking at the disappearing Black Mist, Dou Yanlan said calmly. Although as a wide-range environmental disruption move that doesn’t differentiate between friends or enemies, Black Mist didn’t consume much power, Cotton itself didn’t possess high-level strength and couldn’t use it repeatedly in a short time. Moreover, the recent explosion had shattered the mist, making it impossible for Cotton to continue expending power to maintain Black Mist.

White Wolf Deity shook its tail and lightly patted the ground with a paw. A white fog started to envelop Calien Town and Noscarte Castle. Feeling the cold air emanating from the fog, Qi Xiaoshuang instinctively tightened her Ritual Robe. White Wolf Deity retreated next to Qi Xiaoshuang, growing in size slightly and erecting a translucent Barrier around her.

Scratching Xiao Ji’s soft belly, Feng Yuan, clutching Xiao Ji, moved closer to Pomiti and Big Cat, complaining,

"That’s the problem with White Wolf Deity’s icy fog; it attacks indiscriminately and freezes you to death."

Big Cat spread her wings to shield Feng Yuan from both sides, seemingly thinking this would prevent the icy fog from reaching him.

Ah Mu tried to protect both Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan, but upon realizing he couldn’t, he looked somewhat dejected. Qi Chen patted Ah Mu, telling him,

"Thank you, but you don’t need to compare yourself with them."

Seeing Ah Mu still trying, Qi Chen shook his head with a smile and said,

"You were never good at this; why bother?"

After a while, a pale green spherical Barrier flickered around Qi Chen. Feng Yuan said in surprise,

"Has he realized a new ultimate move?"

"I guess..."

Qi Chen gently patted Ah Mu, not quite knowing what to say. As he observed the stabilizing Barrier, Feng Yuan congratulated him with a laugh,

"Congratulations~ Ah Mu has mastered the Forest Barrier~"

"How did you know it’s the Forest Barrier?"

Qi Chen asked in confusion, as there were similar-looking moves, but Feng Yuan seemed certain about this one. The phantom of Agunas nearby swung its tail, commenting,

"It’s quite normal; it feels just like that in terms of energy."
