While Lin Wanwan was tutoring Qian Renxue, Ning Rongrong, who had landed in a strange place enveloped by a membrane of light, stared in terror at two powerful beings slaughtering each other high in the distant sky!
With her vision greatly enhanced after the baptism, Ning Rongrong could see clearly. On the left was a humanoid creature clad in golden armor, wielding a black halberd. Its black hair streamed in the wind, and its sharp gaze brimmed with endless battle intent!
The other could have been seen even by someone with a thousand degrees of nearsightedness. There was no other reason—it was simply too enormous!
It was a giant monster like a mountain. Its terrifying fangs gleamed with chilling light, while its ferocious eyes were filled with a horrifying killing intent that made one shudder!
The people of Douluo Continent had originally been focused on Qian Renxue's side, but now at least ninety-nine percent of all eyes were fixed on Ning Rongrong's Light Screen!
The mere appearance of those two figures on the Light Screen sent an overwhelming, tyrannical pressure pouring through it, making everyone break out in cold sweat. It felt as though a massive boulder weighed on their chests, leaving them unable to breathe!
The next moment, the golden-armored creature wielding the black halberd viciously swung it down at the giant beast. In an instant, a terrifying slash tore through the sky and split the earth. It cleaved apart the roaring giant beast with unstoppable force, then continued onward, splitting millions of miles of mountains and rivers and blasting everything to pieces!
The earth was ripped apart, lakes were vaporized, and everything turned to nothingness. Even the aftershock overturned the land, completely changing the terrain of the region!
This strike was so much stronger than Lin Wanwan's sword that there was no comparison!
This scene left countless people throughout the Douluo World utterly dumbfounded!
"My god, what kind of monster is that?! One swing of that halberd is practically the apocalypse!"
"Yeah, it's absolutely terrifying! What kind of monsters are there in these Nine Heavens and Ten Lands?!"
"I wonder what realm that golden-armored creature is in. It doesn't look like the Hole Heaven Realm, does it?"
"I don't know, but probably not. Lin Wanwan said that ordinary Hole Heaven Realm cultivators could destroy a thousand-zhang mountain with a raised palm and wipe out a city of a million people with a flipped hand. A Peerless Genius with Ten Hole Heavens could shatter an entire mountain range with one strike, even shake heaven and earth. But that golden-armored creature split millions of miles with a single halberd strike!"
"Holy shit, look! The golden-armored creature is flying toward Ning Rongrong!"
"It's over. Looks like Ning Rongrong has been discovered."
Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi's face had gone utterly pale. If Chen Xin had not supported him from the side, he might have fainted on the spot.
Without question, Ning Rongrong had fallen into danger—danger that threatened her life!
Ning Fengzhi trembled as he reached out a hand, as though he wanted to pull Ning Rongrong back from the Light Screen...
"Rongrong, can we... can we go home? Go home. As long as you come home, Father will protect you for the rest of his life. I absolutely won't let anything happen to you..."
Seeing that Ning Fengzhi had lost his usual elegance, Chen Xin let out a sigh.
He understood Ning Fengzhi's feelings all too well. After all, no normal person could bear the grief of losing a daughter...
Especially when he could only watch helplessly as his own daughter died, with no way to do anything...
"Don't worry. If I am chosen next time—next time—I will definitely avenge Rongrong!"
At Shrek Academy, Oscar, also one of the Shrek Seven Devils, stared at Ning Rongrong's Light Screen with a deathly gray expression.
He had never imagined that he would be happy when Ning Rongrong fell into a Place of opportunity, only for her to be on the verge of death before he could even rejoice for long.
What? That membrane of light?
He desperately hoped it could protect Ning Rongrong, but based on what had happened before, while it could shield her from the aftermath of battle, even the passing shockwaves had caused ripples in it. That meant it had already reached the limit of its defensive power.
So...
"Human, how did you appear in the medicine garden?"
The golden-armored creature was incredibly fast. Ten thousand miles passed in an instant. As it looked at Ning Rongrong, wrapped in the membrane of light, its tone was filled with disgust!
Humans—humans again!
It would have been one thing in the Upper Realm. As a mere Venerable Realm being, it was nothing before true experts. But in the Lower Realm, it had tolerated mere Array Realm Fierce beasts. Now even a mere Blood Transporting Realm human dared approach the medicine garden it guarded?
Did they really think its race feared humans?!
Wait?
A human had actually entered the medicine garden?
Then if she picked the herbs for it, it might be able to ignite Divine Fire after consuming them and enter the Divine Fire Realm. If it was lucky, it might even reach the True One Realm!
If it entered the True One Realm, then it would become a True God. Even in the Upper Realm, while it might not become a great power in its own right, any faction would accept it if it sought refuge with them. Anything would be better than being driven to guard this medicine garden...
Only when the golden-armored creature fell into thought did Ning Rongrong finally get a clear look at its full appearance.
It was about two meters tall, with a youthful appearance. It looked like a human dressed in golden armor, except for a golden horn atop its head that gleamed with an exceedingly sharp edge.
"You... aren't human?"
Ning Rongrong took a deep breath and asked the golden-armored creature, snapping it out of its thoughts. Looking at the utterly defenseless Ning Rongrong, the golden-horned creature spoke indifferently, with even a deep loathing in its voice.
"Human, this one will give you a chance to live. Pick the flower behind you and give it to this one, and this one can let you leave."
She was doomed either way. This was deep within the Barren Mountain Range. Could a mere Blood Transporting Realm human ant possibly walk out from the depths of the Barren Mountain Range, where Fierce beasts roamed everywhere?
What a foolish dream!
At that moment, the golden-horned creature felt like a god—a god that controlled life and death!
What a pity that she was merely a Blood Transporting Realm ant. If she had been stronger, would it have felt even better...
Ning Rongrong was not stupid. The moment she heard the golden-horned creature's words, she understood two things.
First, though the membrane of light looked thin, it could not get in!
Second, it bore hostility toward humans!
Therefore...
"No!"
Hearing Ning Rongrong's immediate refusal, the golden-horned creature flew into a rage. The black halberd in its hand pointed straight at Ning Rongrong, its voice filled with icy killing intent!
"Ant, this one did not hear you clearly. Say that again?! Do you know what kind of existence you have provoked?!"
"Hehe, I'm curious too. What kind of existence are you~"
Just as the golden-horned creature burned with fury and Ning Rongrong's face turned pale, a mocking laugh rang out beside them. Ning Rongrong felt nothing, but the golden-horned creature, which had just slain a giant beast with a single strike, turned deathly pale. Terror filled its face as it looked toward the source of the laughter.
"Mi... my lord..."
