Formidable Rival

Jiang Chao's words came so suddenly that the three women behind him, including Chu, were all somewhat surprised.

However, looking at the terrifyingly tall and extremely frightening woman in front of them, none of the three women dared to say anything.

"You little brother are quite amusing. What, are you afraid of your older sister?"

The eight-foot-tall woman chuckled softly.

She stood atop the courtyard wall, looking down from above.

Jiang Chao noticed a detail: while the other person was speaking, their feet only lightly touched the tiles on the wall, without actually stepping on them. The person was in a semi-suspended position, which was extremely strange.

This shows just how strong the opponent is!

Jiang Chao grew increasingly wary. If possible, he did not want to make an enemy of this eight-foot-tall woman of unknown origin at this moment.

"Little brother, you've probably misunderstood. Your sister is here to kill someone, that's true, but not this little thing."

The eight-foot-tall woman pointed to the trembling infant spirit.

"This little thing is still very useful to my sister, and she can't bear to kill it."

He then looked at the house behind Jiang Chao, his tone turning icy: "That damned old bastard, the supervisor, is the one who deserves to die."

"But he's not here right now, hiding in that turtle shell in the capital and doesn't dare to come out. So I'll just have to kill his closed-door disciple who's traveling."

Jiang Chao: "..."

This woman's target is actually Zuo Xiaoqian?

If it were just an infant spirit, Jiang Chao wouldn't care. After all, the little guy looked cute at the moment, but when he got fierce, he was ruthless and had already transcended the realm of humans.

Zuo Xiaoqian is different. She is an imperial censor of the Imperial Observatory, loyal to the court, and may even be an underling of the future woman who is currently in power.

If he were killed by the other party without any explanation, how would he explain himself when he met the future empress and was questioned by her?

Thinking of this, Jiang Chao shook his head.

"Since you have a grudge against the Director of the Imperial Observatory, you should go after him, not cause trouble for his disciples. This is against the code of the martial world. Since you are in this martial world, how can you not abide by its rules?"

"Oh? So, little brother, you're going to stop me?"

The woman squinted at Jiang Chao, and an invisible pressure descended upon her.

Jiang Chao felt as if a huge mountain had suddenly pressed down on his shoulders, incredibly heavy.

Fortunately, he was physically strong and powerful enough that he would not be unable to move due to the pressure.

Even so, Jiang Chao was not having an easy time. This pressure seemed intangible, but it was all-pervasive, like an invisible hand binding his entire body.

Jiang Chao frowned slightly, activating the power of his bloodline to resist the oppressive force.

At the same time, take a big step forward.

"I didn't expect you to be so talented at such a young age!"

The woman in the red robe smiled in surprise, then raised her arm and flicked her finger.

"call out!"

An invisible sword of energy shot out from her fingertip, heading straight for Jiang Chao's brow.

Jiang Chao's pupils contracted. Without thinking, he swung his right hand, drew his long sword from its sheath, and slashed at the invisible sword energy.

"clang!"

With a crisp sound, the invisible sword of energy was cleaved in two.

"Boom!"

Two loud bangs came from behind and to the sides.

After the seemingly invisible sword of energy was cleaved, its residual power remained undiminished, blasting two large holes in the walls on both sides!

Jiang Chao's expression changed.

This woman is ridiculously strong!

This is probably the first time Jiang Chao has encountered such a formidable foe since he came down from the mountain!

Jiang Chao stopped holding back, and a series of cracking sounds came from the bones of his upper body. His clothes tore and flew away, revealing his muscular body.

"what?"

The eight-foot-tall woman looked at Jiang Chao, whose height had increased dramatically, whose muscles were now bulging, and whose body was covered with dark red markings, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

It seems somewhat unexpected.

"This secret technique is interesting; I like it!"

Do you truly enjoy esoteric practices? Or are you simply after my body?

The idea popped into Jiang Chao's mind at an inopportune moment, and he immediately shot out with a light tap of his toes.

"boom!"

With a single punch, he unleashed immense power.

The force of the punch was powerful, heading straight for the woman's face.

Now that he had made up his mind to take action, Jiang Chao naturally wouldn't care about anything else.

Since a conflict is inevitable, then let's fight!

"Little brother, you're so heartless! Your older sister hasn't even done anything to you, and you've already hit her."

The woman neither dodged nor avoided the danger; in fact, as Jiang Chao's terrifying circle approached, even the air conditioner chuckled.

The next moment, Jiang Chao's fist was gently grasped by a slender hand.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying force came, and Jiang Chao felt his arm go numb before he crashed into the woman's arms.

The expected soft feeling didn't come; instead, it felt like hitting an iron wall.

Upon impact, Jiang Chao felt a tightness in his chest, his blood surging, and his vision blurred; he almost fainted.

I was utterly horrified.

Is this woman even human?!

Something's not right!

Alarm bells rang in Jiang Chao's mind.

He quickly withdrew, trying to distance himself from the mysterious woman.

However, upon moving, he discovered that his body was actually bound by an invisible force.

Completely unable to move!

!!!

Jiang Chao was terrified, feeling the threat of death for the first time.

His physique, which he was so proud of, was like that of an infant in front of this woman, completely powerless!

"Little brother, I like you. Come with me, okay?"

"Don't even think about it!"

Jiang Chao roared, channeling his power to its limit. The veins on his neck bulged, and he grew even taller.

Yet they still couldn't break free from the shackles of that invisible force.

As the two remained locked in a stalemate, Chu the Heroine and Su E, among others, turned pale.

In their sight, Jiang Chao, whose figure had grown taller, rushed toward the mysterious woman, then seemed to have hit an invisible barrier and froze in place.

The eight-foot-tall woman remained atop the wall, scrutinizing Jiang Chao from head to toe with an intensely fervent gaze.

There was surprise and admiration in his eyes.

More than anything, it reveals an undisguised greed.

It was as if the person standing in front of them was not a person, but a rare treasure.

"Jiang Chao, wake up! You've fallen under her illusion!"

"The heroine from Chu called out anxiously."

"Noisy."

The woman in red snorted coldly, flicked her sleeve, and a wave of energy swept out, blasting Chu, the heroine, along with Su E and Qin Yueyao beside her, away.

The three landed almost simultaneously, coughing up blood and instantly losing consciousness.

Jiang Chao, who was controlled by some kind of illusion, was unaware of what was happening in the outside world.

In his eyes, he was being held captive by the woman, unable to move.

"Where did this shameless vixen come from? Don't you dare bully my young master!"

Just when the situation was at a stalemate.

A furious shout rang out.

Having been tricked, Qingling descended from the sky in a rage, blocking Jiang Chao's path.

Tao Yaoyao, who was just about to test the limits of youth, frowned slightly and said with displeasure as she looked at the figure descending from the sky:

"This is such a hassle~"
