Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss

Chapter 565: With Intention to Probe

“Miss Ling, what are you doing here? Quickly leave, quickly leave!” shouted Gao Wentian upon seeing Ling Chuxi rushing over.

Ling Chuxi did not expect that at such a critical moment, he did not plead for her help but instead, asked her to leave. In the past, she felt that although Gao Wentian as a person was not bad, he was still probably like the other merchants who placed too much emphasis on profits and who were cunning and scheming. Seeing his behaviour in this situation, her impression of him changed greatly. The more critical the situation, the more one was able to see a person’s true character. It seems like this Gao family’s young master was a friend that was worth making after all.

Seeing that Ling Chuxi had no intention of leaving, Gao Wentian became greatly anxious. He kept yelling at her to leave while waved at her to get her attention.

A crazed roar came from the Shocking Thunder Beast behind them. An odd light appeared on the horn on its head, and with a flip of its head, two guards were sent flying. After that, the beast used all of its strength to charge forward. A crisp sound rang out and the fallen carriage which was blocking the middle of the road was smashed into dust. A guard bore the brunt of the impact and was sent flying. He violently spat out blood once he landed. From the way things appeared, he was not likely to survive his injuries.

The Shocking Thunder Beast roared crazily at Gao Wentian and charged at him. Under the might of its four strong and thick hooves, the entire ground was trembling.

Ling Chuxi leapt up and stood before Gao Wentian, shielding him from the Shocking Thunder Beast. Zhou Zhidong was thinking of seeing her cultivation in action before he stepped in and thus took half a step back. With such a short distance between them, even if Ling Chuxi met with danger, he still had enough time to lend a rescuing hand.

The Shocking Thunder Beast came charging towards both Ling Chuxi and Gao Wentian. Though its steps looked heavy, its movements were extremely agile. The horn on the beast’s forehead began to emit an odd light.

Ling Chuxi quietly chanted the Mind Training Chant. Her mind was clear as she locked her focus onto the Shocking Thunder Beast before her. She had once exchanged blows with this kind of a Level 8 Monster Beast and knew that its defensive ability was extremely strong. Furthermore, its wisdom far surpassed other monster beasts and the moment things did not look good, it would immediately slip away. Therefore, she knew that she only had one chance at an absolute kill.

Under the execution of the Mind Training Chant, her surroundings became so clear and transparent. Even the presumptuous murderous intent contained in the blood red eyes of the Shocking Thunder Beast could be clearly felt by her. Ling Chuxi suddenly felt a sense of unease arising within her heart. Upon taking a closer look, the ray of light emitting from the Shocking Thunder Beast’s horn was actually not the blue that she saw previously but was instead a faint golden glow.

Zhou Zhidong also noticed this oddity. An expert in the realm of Great Fulfilment had more sensitive sixth senses as compared to others and on the body of this Level 8 monster beast, he actually felt a suppression coming straight from the bottom of its heart. This already surpassed his knowledge of the capacity of Level 8 monster beasts.

Should he stick to his plan of witnessing Ling Chuxi’s cultivation or should he just take action personally? Just as Zhou Zhidong was hesitating slightly, a figure suddenly flew out from a carriage which had been quietly sitting by the roadside all this while. The figure pierced his sword towards the Shocking Thunder Beast. While his body was still in mid-air, one could see the figure’s fingers quickly forming a series of gestures.

“Turning Cloud Gesture!” exclaimed Ling Chuxi as she looked at the figure’s finger gestures in surprise. It was precisely the Turning Cloud Gesture of the Xiao family. Only after she noticed this did she look at the figure’s face and it turned out to be none other than Xiao Tianying.

‘Xiao Tianying? Why was he here?’ Ling Chuxi was a little surprised and a little perplexed.

Zhou Zhidong was also surprised. He had originally thought that the carriage beside the road was empty, but upon seeing this person emerge from it did he know that the carriage not only contained someone, but that it had contained someone whose cultivation was at the Great Fulfilment Intermediate stage, which was more or less the same level as his. That person’s Battle Qi accumulated under the influence of the odd finger gestures he was making, becoming stronger than his to the point where it had even reached the majestic might of the Great Fulfilment Advanced stage.

“Miss Ling, back away!” shouted Xiao Tianying, and with a muffled ring, his palm had already made contact with the head of the Shocking Thunder beast. A strong ray of golden light suddenly erupted from the beast’s horn and Xiao Tianying was shaken till he was sent flying.
