My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 471 - 151: [Second Update]

The golden Array instantly closed in on the Two-headed Lion Tiger Beast, striking its body and forcing it to retreat a few steps. The Array then transformed into points of light and disappeared.

Meanwhile, Jun Wu’s scimitar also reached the Two-headed Lion Tiger Beast, slicing across its claw and leaving a fine cut.

Realizing it was injured, the Two-headed Lion Tiger Beast grew even more furious, its gaze towards Jun Wu and Nan Hua as if it could spit fire.

However, Nan Hua and Jun Wu didn’t pay it any mind, nor were they concerned with its anger.

The left head of the Two-headed Lion Tiger Beast suddenly opened its mouth, and a fireball shot out towards Nan Hua and Jun Wu.

Nan Hua quickly erected a defensive Array and simultaneously, with his left hand, drew an attacking Array and hurled it without a second thought.

The fireball hit the defensive Array, which rippled like the surface of water, dissipating the fireball’s power, while the Array remained intact.

Jun Wu made a slight movement with his fingers, and the silver scimitar once again flew towards the Two-headed Lion Tiger Beast. This time, it targeted the beast’s back. Distracted by Jun Wu and Nan Hua from the front, the Two-headed Lion Tiger Beast didn’t notice the impending danger from behind. By the time it sensed something wrong, it was already too late. A silver flash streaked by, leaving a long, narrow wound on its back.

Blood oozed from the wound, dyeing the fur on the Two-headed Lion Tiger Beast’s back red.

"Roar!"

The Two-headed Lion Tiger Beast roared in anger once more, its other head’s mouth opening to unleash several Wind Blades toward Jun Wu and Nan Hua.

The two of them acted simultaneously; one used an Array to shield both from the Wind Blades, while the other attacked the beast with a scimitar. Their cooperation, initially a bit clumsy, soon became seamless.

Under their joint effort, the Two-headed Lion Tiger Beast couldn’t hold on for long. In less than three quarters of an hour, it was slain by the two, closing its eyes in resentment as it fell to the ground.

During the battle with the Two-headed Lion Tiger Beast, those who had been fleeing from it stood to the side, watching the fight unfold.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to help, but they had been previously injured by the beast, with wounds covering most of them, rendering them with little combat ability. Besides, seeing how Jun Wu and Nan Hua fought, they might even hinder rather than help.

Now, seeing the two easily slaying the beast, they were all quite surprised and held a great admiration for them.

"Inner Sect Disciple Zheng Qian thanks the two seniors for rescuing us!" Zheng Qian, clutching his injured arm, approached Jun Wu and Nan Hua respectfully cupping his fists, his tone sincere.

"Inner Sect Disciple Qian Yiyan thanks the two seniors for rescuing us!" Qian Yiyan followed behind Zheng Qian. He appeared more severely injured, with a pale face and unsteady steps, but still showed great respect towards Jun Wu and Nan Hua.

"Wang Huan from Yangyun Sect thanks the two seniors for rescuing us!" Wang Huan’s gaze towards them was filled with admiration as he respectfully bowed with genuine willingness.

"Xie Ting from Yangyun Sect thanks the two seniors for rescuing us!" Xie Ting, of an average appearance but tall with a good figure, gazed at Jun Wu and Nan Hua with admiration, mixed with a hint of adoration.

"Du Qin Yi from Yangyun Sect thanks the two seniors for rescuing us!" Du Qin Yi, wearing a blue long robe and looking delicate, had a leg injury. He had been carried by Wang Huan to escape; otherwise, he might have been finished by the beast already.

"It’s nothing, just a little effort." Not fond of socializing, Jun Wu remained silent as Nan Hua spoke up briskly, waving a hand. "No need to dwell on it. You’ve been injured too, so hurry and start healing."

Jun Wu had already returned to the campfire, continuing his dinner.

After chatting briefly, Nan Hua also returned to the fire, eating by himself.

Their indifferent attitude didn’t offend Wang Huan and the others, considering the pair’s prominent status and high cultivation. Ignoring them was quite normal. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Moreover, with everyone, including Wang Huan, injured, the priority was undoubtedly to heal quickly. The Secret Realm is dangerous, and with half a month left, failing to treat their wounds could leave them unable to endure later on. They knew full well what outcomes might await.

Quietly, they found a spot not too far from the fire, set up a couple of tents, and soon were busy tending to their injuries or meditating.

Nan Hua and Jun Wu merely glanced over, not preventing them from camping there, simply eating quietly. Once finished, they returned to their tent, confident in Nan Hua’s Arrays that they need not keep watch at night.

Unaware of the Array’s presence, Wang Huan and the others took turns on watch, the night passing quickly.

At daybreak, Nan Hua and the others emerged from their tent. Wang Huan and company, who had stayed the previous night, were already up, eagerly attempting to cook for Nan Hua and Jun Wu.

Unfortunately, none of them had any talent as a chef, failing to produce anything decent and ultimately giving up.

"The Two-headed Lion Tiger Beast is dead, and we’re heading elsewhere, so let’s part ways here." Nan Hua, looking at Wang Huan and his group, spoke calmly.

"Senior, might we join you? We’ll handle the menial tasks well," Qian Yiyan suggested, eyes full of hope at Jun Wu and Nan Hua, clearly eager to accompany them.

"No need, just go your own way." Nan Hua quickly interjected.

Having saved them out of camaraderie, neither Nan Hua nor Jun Wu were accustomed to leading a group, so they directly declined Qian Yiyan’s proposal.

Hearing this, Qian Yiyan’s gaze dimmed, though he understood their exceptional identity and said no more.

Zheng Qian swallowed back his words upon seeing Qian Yiyan’s refusal, quietly remaining on the side.

Nan Hua and Jun Wu paid them little mind, examining the sky before continuing their exploration along the forest path they had previously marked.

...

Time flew by, half a month since Gu Qingqing and his party entered the Secret Realm. Opportunities were increasing for those inside, and most now traveled in groups, while only a few with supreme confidence in their cultivation ventured alone.

In these two weeks, Si Lin also roamed solo, not just due to his faith in his cultivation, but mainly because he hadn’t crossed paths with Gu Qingqing and the others, leaving him journeying alone.
