BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1435 Roar
He teleported away, outside of the formation, still constrained by the gold that covered him. He tried flying away, but his speed wasn\'t as fast.
He made it outside of the colony, but that was barely far enough at all. The Lion\'s spiritual sense was on him and wasn\'t letting go at all.
Alex flexed his dantian, sending out as much Yang Qi as he could outside to cover his entire body. The Spiritual sense was destroyed thanks to that, and the gold that grew on his body was also slowly being burned away.
However, it was already too late.
The Lion\'s body turned ethereal with golden Qi glowing all around him as he became a golden entity that emanated extreme metal energy all around him.
Once the Lion\'s body was completely golden with nothing else to be seen with one\'s naked eyes, he was done preparing his attack and finally used it.
His body blazed through the night sky, leaving behind a golden trail as the Lion himself flew up to Alex to hit him with this attack.
Alex used his own skills.
Dao of Space, Dao of Metal, Dao of Earth, True Fire Dao, Dao of Teleportation, Heaven\'s Impact, 123 Sword Array, Golden Spear Punch, All Swirling Elemental Shield, Spiritual Providence, Blood Aura, Blood Armor, and Sword Aura.
He used everything he had, save for any formations and talismans that he wouldn\'t have time to bring out. The skills were used one after another in quick succession to protect himself as much as he could before the Lion even attacked.
The offensive attacks flew toward the Lion who flew at a speed that Alex could barely keep up with his eyes. The defensive attacks remained on him, as he prayed that they weren\'t destroyed.
The Lion slammed into the attacks that Alex had thrown out, and like a red hot metal striking against a piece of paper, it burst through every attack, destroying them all.
The swords fell in disarray, the spiritual attacks barely stopping the Lion. The Golden Spears were torn apart, while neither the Blood nor the Sword aura did anything to stop the Lion.
Even Alex\'s True Fire Dao was nothing more than a weak attack in front of the Immortal attack that the Lion used.
Before Alex could even realize what was happening, the Lion was already in front of him.
The multiple defensive barriers created using Dao of Space, Metal, Fire, and Earth were all shattered before the Lion even touched it.
The All Swirling Elemental Shield was destroyed in that attack as well. And then, the Lion\'s attack finally landed on the Blood Armor.
The Blood armor was the strongest defensive skill that Alex had at the moment, and when the Lion\'s attack landed on it, it was shredded in a single moment.
Nothing Alex could use and had used had brought out any sort of positive result in this clash. And as such, when his final defensive technique, the Blood Armor was destroyed, all that remained to protect Alex from the Lion\'s attack was his simple body cultivation, which was nowhere near strong enough to stop the Lion.
Alex saw it all happen clearly, with his Demon eyes, albeit barely. So, he also saw the moment the Lion\'s attack landed on him.
He was going to die.
ROAR!~
A giant golden ethereal tiger\'s head appeared from within Alex the moment the attack landed. It instantly stopped the lion\'s attack, sending him flying backward. The head moved out even more afterward as the entire body of the tiger appeared in full view of the lion whose attack had failed.
The lion was in a confused state as his speed and strength had been so high that he could barely keep up himself. So, when he was stopped, he wasn\'t aware of what had happened.
He looked up and finally saw the entire body of the White Tiger that stood before him.
Alex realized what had happened only after seeing the entire White Tiger. The Defensive skill that Bai Jingshen had put inside of him had activated at the very last moment he was about to die and had protected him from the Immortal Qi attack.
Bai Jingshen\'s ethereal body stood there, towering over both man and beast as he held his head up high, looking at no one in particular.
"This human is under my, Bai Jingshen\'s protection," the voice spoke. "Anyone who dares harm him shall suffer my wrath."
The voice boomed throughout the area as the weaker beasts in the surrounding froze in fear even when they understood nothing.
Alex stood in absolute shock as well. He had forgotten at the moment that Bai Jingshen had even put a defensive intent on him that was supposed to protect him in the extreme case of danger.
And thanks to that, he had lived right now.
However, it had been used up and couldn\'t be used anymore after this.
"No…" the Lion spoke in surprise and confusion. "That… was that really… Lord Bai Jingshen?"
Alex breathed in quietly trying to assess the situation. Was the fear of what happened here enough for him to get away without being attacked? Or was the Lion perhaps daring enough to continue his attacks even after that?
Alex wasn\'t sure if he should run away or try and figure out a compromise here where the Lion wouldn\'t attack him anymore.
"How old are you?" the Lion asked.
Alex looked at the lion\'s face and was surprised to see him lose all sense of anger at the moment.
"About 70 years old," Alex said.
"Then why do you have Lord Bai Jingshen\'s protection on you?" the Lion asked. "He\'s dead."
"He\'s not," Alex said. "Would I have the protection on me if he was dead?"
The Lion had no answer. "But…" he tried to make sense of what he was hearing, but nothing fell into place. "Why were we told that he was dead? It was even confirmed by His Majesty Qing Tianchui himself," the Lion said.
"The Azure Dragon?" Alex asked. "They were all mistaken. Bai Jingshen had gone somewhere, but he is back. He\'s been back for over half a century now."
"How do you know that?" the Lion asked. "Aren\'t you under Her Majesty Feng Nuanhuo? How are you acquainted with Lord Bai?"
"I was acquainted with him before I ever met Her Majesty," Alex said. "Why do you call the others His and Her Majesty, and yet you call Bai Jingshen nothing but just lord."
"Unlike the others, he is more than just a Heavenly beast to me," the Lion said. "He is my cousin\'s grandfather. In a way, we are related by marriage."
"Oh," Alex only just remembered that. "Then do you respect him?"
"Yes," the Lion said.
Alex wondered if he could make use of this opportunity. He wouldn\'t get another chance anyway.
"Then I insist that you answer my questions," Alex said, taking the chance. "I was sent here by Bai Jingshen to figure out the truth of what happened here 50 years ago."
