She instinctively wanted to raise her hand to counterattack, but the force was too powerful, so powerful that Zhi Yao found it terrifying. Yet at the same time, she caught a whiff of something familiar in this spiritual energy...
However, before the young woman could ponder further, every pore in her body trembled in response to this deadly danger.
It was at this moment that Zhi Yao knew the opportunity had arrived!
He Kaiting stood in the distance, watching Zhi Yao. She couldn't see Zhi Yao's appearance clearly, but she knew that with this strike, Zhi Yao would be either dead or crippled, not to mention the child in her belly.
Xie Qinzhou frowned as he watched all this, saying nothing.
He knew that Zhi Yao also possessed very powerful spiritual energy, with part of Pei Chiyao's power remaining in her body. Although He Kaiting's attack looked terrifying and had immense power, Xie Qinzhou also knew it wasn't enough to kill Zhi Yao, at most it could only make her miscarry.
He absolutely wouldn't let her marry him while carrying Pei Chiyao's child.
It was already a great concession for him to accept her. Zhi Yao should be grateful.
After all, for a woman who had been defiled by a foreigner to marry him was an immense honor.
He Kaiting stood at a distance watching, her lips curling into a smile. The satisfaction in her heart reached its peak at this moment, and she laughed wildly, "Hahaha!! Hahaha... You bitch! You're finally going to die, you're finally going to die!!!"
However...
Soon, things started to go awry.
Because... He Kaiting watched with her own eyes as that ball of light came rushing towards her instead.
What?!
What was going on?!
"Xie Qinzhou! Xie Qinzhou!"
He Kaiting screamed, her voice breaking. She fled frantically, trying to dodge, but the spiritual power in that light ball was actually ten times – no, a hundred times – stronger than what she had just released!
She couldn't escape, because everywhere the light ball passed turned into ruins.
Xie Qinzhou was also greatly shocked. He leaped into the air in disbelief, the intense light so bright he couldn't keep his eyes open.
"Xie Qinzhou!! Ah!!!! What's happening!"
Before He Kaiting could finish her last syllable, she was instantly blown to pieces by that powerful spiritual energy.
The surroundings, which had been full of flowers and lush trees with dense foliage, now became a wasteland after being baptized by that powerful spiritual energy.
The little foxes hiding in the bushes looked around with blank faces, seemingly completely unaware of what had happened.
As the light dissipated, Zhi Yao slowly walked out from within it.
Her expression was cold and proud, like a goddess descending from the heavens.
Zhi Yao looked towards the direction where He Kaiting had disappeared and coldly uttered two words, "You're the fool."
Then, she raised her eyes to look up, where Xie Qinzhou was standing.
He was staring at Zhi Yao in a daze, completely unsure where the power in Zhi Yao's body had come from.
It was a very unfamiliar power. He had never felt such an ancient, powerful, and mysterious force before. It was as if... as if it could destroy heaven and earth. In this world, no one had ever possessed such power before, including the Wolf Tribe.
"You..."
Xie Qinzhou slowly opened his mouth, his voice actually trembling a little.
Zhi Yao's eyes were frosty, her expression completely changed, "If you don't want to die, take me to find my mother."
Her plan had been completely disrupted, but that didn't matter.
Because she now possessed absolute power.
Zhi Yao raised her hand and gently caressed her still-flat belly. She really hadn't expected that her child would possess such terrifying power.
It was amazing! It was absolutely incredible!!!
This act was performed to perfection!
To be precise, Zhi Yao had just exploited a bug.
From the information Pei Chiyao had told her before, this child would protect her when she was in danger. And at that time, Pei Chiyao had spoken very subtly, saying that this child's spiritual power was even stronger than hers. At that moment, Zhi Yao suddenly realized that this "stronger" probably wasn't just a little bit stronger, right?
Because of this child's existence, Pei Chiyao's protection of her had also loosened a bit compared to before.
Zhi Yao then guessed that this child must possess very, very strong power. The power of a dragon – one hardly needed to think to know how terrifying that would be.
Pei Chiyao currently didn't possess all of a dragon's power, yet he was already so formidable. As for the child in Zhi Yao's womb... having inherited the dragon's bloodline, it should be a true dragon, and its power was imaginable.
Therefore, when He Kaiting attacked, Zhi Yao wasn't afraid. Although her body's instinctive reaction was unavoidable, her heart was very relaxed.
In fact, her child had given her such a surprise.
It had... instantly annihilated He Kaiting.
And it even came with a counterattack function.
This really excited Zhi Yao. If it was this cocky while still in the womb, what would it be like after being born?!
Her mind raced through a thousand thoughts, and when she came back to her senses, she found that Xie Qinzhou still hadn't recovered, still staring at her with that dazed expression.
Zhi Yao sneered, "What? Are you thinking about how to steal my spiritual power? Hm? Are you sure you can handle such power?"
Xie Qinzhou naturally had no confidence.
He even felt that it wasn't a matter of him stealing Zhi Yao's spiritual power, but rather that such power would directly consume him.
How could Zhi Yao possess such heaven-and-earth-destroying power?
"Take me to find my mother, or I'll kill you right now."
Zhi Yao never thought that one day such threatening words would come out of her mouth, she who had been a spiritual power weakling.
She happily straightened her still-flat belly, "Hurry up!"
Xie Qinzhou's mind was racing. He turned around, pretending to lead the way, but Zhi Yao saw through his little scheme at a glance.
"I don't care what you're thinking, just consider this: what did He Kaiting look like when she died just now? Torn to pieces, turned to dust, and in an instant. You should know that in the face of absolute power, any of your methods are just a dying struggle."
These words were spoken with extreme arrogance, but Xie Qinzhou had just witnessed all this with his own eyes.
He damn well knew that everything Zhi Yao said was true!
But...
He suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Zhi Yao. "Zhi Yao, do you really have the heart to let the Fox Clan be trampled by the Wolf Tribe?! Huh?"
Zhi Yao raised an eyebrow. "When you kidnapped my mother, you already put the entire Fox Clan in danger. All of this is because of you, not because of me. I never had much feeling for the Fox Clan to begin with, so saying these things to me is useless."
How could she have no feelings? Just now, when that powerful force came blasting through, not a single one of those fox cubs hiding in the bushes was harmed.
Xie Qinzhou didn't believe that she had no feelings for the Fox Clan.
This should be... a point that could be exploited.
