197 Three Sneak Attacks (1/2)
The two wolves were able to hold Jasmine within their domains. Though if she really chose to leave, it was uncertain if they would be able to prevent her. Jasmine would probably run out of energy first in the standoff but it would still be a while before that happened. The key to the battle was the greater goblin. It was supposed to be helping but it was instead focused completed on the wrong prey.
Greater goblins were still pretty much the same as ordinary goblins and were demons born to kill and eat. It probably had a lucky encounter and managed to eat a few corpses of powerful beings. Although it was not one of the demons that gained power through sex, it still had a strong sexual appetite and it especially liked to play with females before turning them into food.
The greater goblin was supposed to stay with the plan and finish off Jasmine but he was instantly consumed by bloodlust at the sight of Chen Wentian's other disciples. Long Yifei looked especially ravishing like a shining star among a beautiful constellation.
The greater goblin finally finished its transformation and its spiritual aura soared. It gathered its full immortal energy and charged towards the girls like a mountain of vile flesh. Su Xue and Su Yue had managed to make it into Tortoise Can Fly but the others were still outside.
In an instant, the greater goblin arrived in front of them and a long, clawed arm shot out towards Long Yifei. It was about to grab her when a transparent golden shield that appeared out of nowhere.
Bam!
The greater goblin was knocked back ten steps and shook his dizzy head. It was still quite a powerful Spirit Lord and quickly recovered.
”What? What is this?” The goblin yelled.
It saw the golden wall and clawed at it but it wasn't very effective. It managed to leave deep grooves but those quickly regenerated. The shield also completely blocked its spiritual energy and it could not touch Long Yifei at all.
”Come here!” It screamed in rage.
Its green spiritual energy exploded and crashed upon the golden shield, making it creak and groan. The green goblin immortal was a demon that cultivated bodily strength above all else. It wasn't very intelligent but it made up for it in raw strength and close-range combat ability.
”Chengcheng, can you hold?” Wu Qianyu yelled in alarm.
”I can!” Lin Qingcheng cried, ”Master says it can hold so it can hold!”
The green goblin howled upon seeing its prey hide in the weird carriage and doubled its efforts. The golden shell started to develop cracks and some of the green spiritual aura started to seep in.
The three girls would have panicked but Chen Wentian was speaking to all of them through his soul art.
”Chengcheng, don't be afraid, hold your ground! Ziyun, Qianyu, attack on three. Ready?” His bodiless voice sounded in their ears, comforting their shaking hearts.
”Yes master!”
”One… two… THREE!”
