Rebirth as a Tiger: Sister is the Reborn Empress!-Chapter 243 - 242: Guardian God of Great Qin? Willow God?
At the instant the earth split open, a burst of blue light shot out, extremely dazzling. The next moment, a second, a third... countless beams of blue light surged from the ever-expanding fissure. For a time, the blue light enveloped the earth and sky, dyeing the world a shade of blue.
It was as if a miraculous spring breeze had swept through; the withered grass on the ground regained life, transforming from withered yellow to vibrant green. Each stalk of flowers, grasses, and trees appeared to have received an infusion of vitality, growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Whether it was the injured Extraordinary individuals on the high walls or the numerous Revivers, at this moment, they could clearly sense that their injuries were rapidly healing.
Even the caved-in chest of the battered Vajra Giant Ape was slowly recovering.
Everything happened in a flash.
The next moment, from the blue light within the fissure, a willow branch extended out, its leaves lush and verdant, as if the branches made of jade emitted endless blue radiance, continuously flowing.
The willow branch seemed to possess life, gently pointing at the oncoming horde of fierce ghosts. In an instant, the once-arrogant roaring ghosts vanished one by one.
In just a moment, a vast area at the forefront of the ghost horde was cleared!
"It’s the intervention of that entity!"
Seeing the willow branch, Nangong Luo was utterly shocked!
Chapter 240
In the past, the reason the Great Qin Empire survived multiple catastrophes and endured till the end was precisely because the Great Qin Empire possessed a Guardian God!
This Guardian God of the Great Qin Empire was known as the Willow God, a willow tree growing in the Imperial Capital!
Usually, it remained unobtrusive, only revealing itself at the critical life-and-death moments of the Great Qin Empire!
In Nangong Luo’s memory, the several national extermination crises faced by the Great Qin Empire in the past were all averted with the help of the Willow God.
In the past, the Great Qin Empire was actually never aware that such an entity existed in the Imperial Capital.
It wasn’t until the first national extermination crisis that the Willow God intervened, revealing itself, that the Great Qin Empire realized they had a steadfast pillar of support.
Back then, she was extremely relieved, believing that with the Willow God there, the Great Qin Empire would certainly remain unscathed, and no fierce beasts or demon clans could ever destroy it. Security, at last, was assured.
But now, fate plays its tricks, as she finds herself transformed into a fierce beast, becoming an adversary to this former Guardian God.
The sudden change in situation caused the attacks on both sides to cease instantly.
The golden torrent unleashed by Nangong Luo dissipated in an instant, and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in Fang Yuan’s hand came to a halt. Whether ghosts or Blood Shadows, they all paused in place, ceasing their assaults on the Revivers.
Above, those like the Little Sword Immortal, engaged in battle with the two tigers, felt the pressure on them ease. Panting heavily, each of them appeared weary and drenched in sweat.
"What is that entity, and why is it helping us? Could it be another Reviver intervening from the shadows?" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
Watching the willow branch emerging from the underground, Chi Yan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his chest heaving, glancing at the equally battered Cang Bai nearby.
Regrettably, from Cang Bai’s bewildered gaze, it was evident that he also had no idea.
"Little Sword Immortal, did Dean Lin ever mention sending other strong individuals?"
The Blind Daoist, standing close to the Little Sword Immortal, sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the willow branch, frowned and asked.
How could it be such a coincidence that just when their side was about to be defeated, a strong entity came to aid them?
The Blind Daoist could only attribute the cause to Dean Lin, suspecting whether this was some backup method he had secretly arranged.
"He never did, so it probably wasn’t intentionally arranged by Dean Lin! Or perhaps he arranged it privately without informing me."
The Little Sword Immortal was in the midst of channeling his Spiritual Power to treat his internal injuries, surrounded by constantly blooming and withering green lotuses. Hearing this, he quickly shook his head, indicating he didn’t know.
"Amitabha, blessed by Buddha, it seems this humble monk doesn’t need to head to Paradise so soon!"
Gazing at the protective willow branch above, the wine-and-meat monk lying on the ground showed a faint smile. After a few light coughs, his bloodstained arms raised with difficulty, he clasped his hands together, chanting a Buddhist verse.
Watching as the ghost horde was about to swallow the wretched bald monk, only to be stopped by a willow branch, Fang Yuan’s smug expression instantly froze. In his eerie eyes, fury rose as he cursed towards the crevice below: "Coward! Show yourself to this Demon Monarch immediately!"
But after waiting for a moment, the willow branch just stood there silently, with no response from below, as if Fang Yuan was nonexistent.
"Fine, fine, you cowardly rat, hiding underground thinking you’re safe? Just wait until this Demon Monarch kills that bald monk, I will drag you out and let you suffer the agony of being devoured by a thousand ghosts!"
Feeling ignored, Fang Yuan was instantly filled with rage, continuously shouting, his Ten Thousand Souls Banner swayed violently, bursting with dazzling blood light. The dense black fog swept across the sky, as the once-stagnant ghost horde roared and surged like a tide, once again charging towards the wine-and-meat monk.
Roar roar～～
Amidst the soul-shaking ghostly wails, the terrifying ghost horde advanced once more towards the nearby willow branch, brandishing their ghost claws, swearing to tear the obstructing willow apart.
Buzz～
In an instant, the motionless verdant willow branch burst forth with intense blue light, spreading out like ripples of water, quickly forming an immense azure light screen in front, dividing heaven and earth.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The next second, the beast tide ferociously collided with the light screen, the ghosts relentlessly charging against it, swinging their sharp ghost claws.
Yet, even as a full minute passed, the ghost tide couldn’t shake the light screen even slightly. No ripple stirred; the densely packed ghosts clung to the front of the light screen, unable to advance even an inch. It was like thick black water cascading onto a transparent sheet of blue ice, continuously accumulating yet spreading sideways.
Seeing this scene, those like the Little Sword Immortal, who were initially worried, felt a sudden sense of relief, the concern vanishing from their expressions.
From the recent confrontation, it was evident that the helper from the Great Qin Empire was far stronger than the Black Demon Tiger.
"Impossible, I don’t believe it!"
Witnessing his attacks unable to budge the opponent, Fang Yuan was shocked, disbelief filling his eyes.
Unwilling to accept defeat, blood pooled beneath him, expanding instantly, with countless Blood Shadows soaring up, blotting out the sun, the blood light enveloping the sky. They swarmed like bees, emitting sharp screeches, charging at the azure light screen.
Rumble～
The Blood Shadows transformed into streaks of crimson light, slamming into the light screen fiercely. Yet, despite the immense impact force, causing the Blood Shadows to shatter, the azure light screen remained unmoved.
At this moment, the light screen was like an impenetrable wall, firmly blocking the Blood Shadows and ghosts outside!
"Damn it..."
Upon witnessing this, Fang Yuan nearly broke down, about to resort to the Enhancement Secret Technique to contend with the opponent.
"Enough, Second Brother! Stand down!"
Fortunately, Nangong Luo interjected at this moment to persuade him.
She knew the power of the Willow God well. Although not as strong as when it first emerged in the past, at this moment, Second Brother was definitely not a match for it.
"No, this Demon Monarch hasn’t killed them all yet!"
Fang Yuan refused outright without a second thought, having suffered significant losses today, he needed to regain face.
"Hmph! Then just wait here to die. After all, I’ve fulfilled Big Brother’s orders!"
Unexpectedly, Nangong Luo snorted coldly, steering the Golden Immortal Sword, preparing to leave.
Seeing this, Fang Yuan’s heart suddenly skipped a beat; without Nangong Luo, he wasn’t sure he could win...
In the end, he could only reluctantly follow her departure.
Nevertheless, before leaving, Fang Yuan shook the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, summoning a cloud of black fog, enveloping the Vajra Giant Ape, his subordinate, pulling it over.
Meanwhile, at Tiger King Ridge, Peach Grove Valley.
Through the communicator left by Nangong Luo, witnessing this scene, Jiang Che’s eyes flickered.
"Indeed, there’s an even stronger Reviver hidden within the Great Qin Empire!"
