Chapter 5574: Killing the Chicken to Scare the Monkey 5
Yet now...
She truly felt a crisis.
Because in the previous few strikes, Aunt Zhao had already over-consumed her holy power, and it was now completely depleted.
It seemed she was somewhat powerless to deal with this stoic-face in front of her.
However, this old woman was never one to admit defeat easily.
Her viper-like gaze swept over Qiao Mu. "You stinking girl, do you think a mere broken formation can trap this old woman?"
Qiao Mu wouldn't waste words with her. She immediately struck with a vine whip, aiming directly for her old face.
The strike landed squarely, knocking out two of the old woman's teeth.
Aunt Zhao had never expected this girl to directly hit her in the face.
Her entire face instantly turned green with rage.
"Audacious junior!" Aunt Zhao roared, but another vine whip came her way, landing with a "smack" in the same spot.
Aunt Zhao's expression changed dramatically. She felt a salty, wet taste fill her mouth.
When she spat, half a broken tooth, along with a mouthful of blood, fell to the ground.
Aunt Zhao immediately pounced towards Qiao Mu like a madwoman, haphazardly throwing a few punches.
Her eyes, filled with ferocity, were brimming with murderous intent, and she slurred, "Come out!"
"Bang!"
As quick as a flash, a giant golden-brown furry dog burst out from behind Aunt Zhao, roaring, and charged towards Qiao Mu.
Qiao Mu slightly raised a hand, and the little white snake wrapped around her wrist immediately shot out.
A giant snake's illusionary figure appeared in mid-air, and with a "crunch," it bit down.
Aunt Zhao was stunned, having never anticipated that this young girl would have such a terrifying giant snake by her side.
As soon as the giant snake's head emerged, its immense pressure instantly enveloped her golden-brown furry dog, directly pressing it to the ground, where it whimpered with its head buried.
As this creature flopped down, it happened to perfectly avoid the little white snake's wide-open mouth.
The "crunch" that followed naturally hit nothing but air.
The giant snake coiled in mid-air, then hissed at the golden-brown dog.
The other party lay still, daring not to move even its head. In just a moment, it had completely submitted.
Only then did Aunt Zhao feel a sense of terror and fear, her old face ashen with fright.
W-what's going on?
Didn't Aunt Mei say these people were just from the lower realms?
And they had only arrived a few days ago, not even having found their footing.
Why was this young girl, who didn't even seem to have broken through the Transcendent Divine Realm, so incredibly powerful in cultivation?
Moreover...
She carried a Saint Beast snake with her; no wonder she was so fearless.
It made sense. A single rampaging Saint Beast could handle a dozen people newly entering the Immortal Venerable Realm.
Although she had reached the peak of the Immortal Venerable Realm, she had not yet stepped into the Divine Venerable Realm.
In front of this Saint Beast, she was struggling merely by her own power.
Especially now, with her physical strength lost and more than half of her cultivation depleted.
She had absolutely no power to resist!
Qiao Mu gave her a cold glance.
Aunt Zhao clutched her chest, coughing violently, and slurred, "Little friend, we don't have any life-or-death enmity. To-today, this old woman was reckless. I trespassed into your courtyard. This old woman can offer some compensation, hoping you can spare my life for the sake of how difficult cultivation is..."
Qiao Mu disliked such people the most.
They were both gods and ghosts, saying one thing to your face and another behind your back.
