Chu Xingchen glanced sideways at Qinghe, who had transformed back into a Flood Dragon and was racing toward Cangzhou.
He had not stayed behind out of arrogance, thinking his Karmic Nascent Soul and his fully perfected, absolute-peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivation could defeat a Spirit Transformation opponent of unknown strength.
Although Qinghe's cultivation had reached Nascent Soul, her perception was clearly lacking.
This Spirit Transformation being was by no means a proper Spirit Transformation cultivator.
Chu Xingchen had encountered a Spirit Transformation cultivator when he went to Central Province to stand up for His Own Disciple.
Even though that cultivator already had one foot in the grave, with the dirt nearly up to his eyebrows, he still possessed that extremely distinctive Spirit Transformation essence.
It had given Chu Xingchen a slight sense of apprehension. Even with his Karmic Nascent Soul fully unleashed, he had needed to handle that opponent carefully.
Thanks to that experience, and because this creature was rushing over recklessly with its aura and Spiritual Power fully unleashed,
Chu Xingchen had immediately picked up on it: its aura was nowhere near possessing that distinctive Spirit Transformation essence.
As long as it was not a genuine, complete Spirit Transformation being, Chu Xingchen really had nothing to fear.
Chu Xingchen concealed his aura and lay in ambush along the path that presence was charging down.
In any case, a system scan would reveal the specifics when the time came, and he could adapt accordingly.
If he really could not win, he would warn Qinghe.
Cangzhou was not far from here anyway, and Qinghe also had Dharma Treasures protecting her.
Chu Xingchen quietly settled his mind.
A moment later, he saw the source of that aura-a massive turtle, surrounded by faintly scarlet demon qi.
