Chapter 315: Baihu (2)
Chen Tian's expression was calm and composed, giving no indication of the churning storm of emotions within. Under his composed exterior, Chen Tian's mind raced.
In front of him stood a woman, though "woman" seemed an unfit term.
Her eyes gleamed, resembling polished moonstones. Her hair, the color of freshly fallen snow, flowed down her back, accented by streaks of startling blue, like veins of an enchanted glacier.
A flowing robe, the color of twilight, cascaded around her, shimmering with an otherworldly sheen.
Bronze armor plates adorned her shoulders and thighs. They were intricately etched with swirling patterns and had blue accents that mirrored the sapphire strands in her hair. The plates flowed seamlessly into the robe, creating a breathtaking fusion of elegance and protection.

But it wasn't her beauty that stole his breath. It was the two striking tiger ears that stuck out from the top of her head, twitching with each movement.
'Divine Beast!'
Chen Tian cried inwardly, his heart racing with a mixture of excitement and worry.
Unlike the beast beside him, this woman was a pure Divine Beast, something that had only been seen in the top heavens.
The presence of a Divine beast on earth made Chen Tian feel anxious, yet also intrigued. How many secrets did this world hold if even a Divine beast could exist in this kind of place?
Wu Ye observed everything from inside Chen Tian's Soul Sea and also felt a sense of shock at the sight before her.
The woman exuded a powerful bloodline, one that made Wu Ye's own body tremble in respect.
Divine Beasts were known for their high purity and strength, and the woman standing before them was definitely a Divine Beast, but her cultivation was not that high.
"Heavens, this place is fucking weird!" Wu Ye couldn't help but speak her true thoughts.
"Shit! Two nascent souls!" Chen Tian finally noticed the man behind Baihu, and his eyes widened in surprise.
Chen Tian hypothesized now that only beasts could cultivate and humans couldn't. Perhaps the seal affects only humans and not beasts.
It was impossible to even see a Qi Refinement Cultivator in this world, but now two Nascent Soul beasts were standing before him.
The woman's presence alone was enough to make Chen Tian worry.
He was unsure whether she was an enemy or a friend, but he braced himself for a tough fight regardless.
He gripped his sword tightly, thinking the best option was to run from this place, but first he needed to deal with that bastard beside him.
If he fled and the man posed a threat in the future, Chen Tian would constantly be wary. He needed to take care of the threat now before it could come back to haunt him.
Chen Tian should have killed him when he had the chance, but now it was too late, or maybe not?
Baihu and the man were still surprised by the sudden appearance of Chen Tian, and they lost their focus for a split second.
At that moment, Chen Tian made his move. A shocking sword aura, emanating from his body, sliced directly toward Malakai, who had been watching.
"Eh!"
Malakai was directly caught off guard as the sword aura ripped through the air. It screamed with a power that felt unnatural, a pressure that threatened to crush him where he stood.
"No!!"
The man behind Baihu screamed in horror as he realized what was happening. Baihu was also startled, but before she could act, the man behind her quickly sprung into action and tried to rescue Malakai.
This time, Chen Tian's attack was several times more powerful than before. If at first he was only using the first level of sword aura, this time it had reached the seventh level.
The man and Baihu both could feel the power behind that attack.
"Despicable human! You dare sneak attack on me!" Malakai yelled, his eyes filled with rage and disbelief.
Because he wasn't paying attention, he wasn't prepared for Chen Tian's sudden attack, and with the close distance, he didn't have enough time to react.
As the sword aura neared Malakai, he greeted it with his teeth clenched tightly together and let his blood armor take the brunt of the attack.
Confident in his ability to endure the attack, he relied on his strong blood armor for protection.
But as the sword aura made contact with his blood armor, he could feel the immense pressure and force behind it.
"Wh-what!!"
Hiss~~!
CRACK~!!!
A clean slice cut through his blood armor like butter, causing a sharp pain to shoot through Malakai's body.
As the sword aura continued its trajectory, Malakai's heart raced with fear.
The most perfect trait about their race was their lineage, which granted them the ability to manipulate their blood, so it was a hit that struck at the very core of his being that a human was able to penetrate his strongest defense.
"Ahh!!!"
Malakai's body was sliced in half from the waist down, blood spraying everywhere as one part started falling to the ground while the other remained suspended in mid-air.
Pain seared through every nerve ending, as it was the first time Malakai felt this kind of agony.
"HUMAN, I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!!!"
A thundering roar erupted from Malakai's lips, the sound reverberating through the air like a primal scream of rage.
"He didn't die!" Chen Tian was dumbfounded after seeing Malakai still alive despite being cut in half.
"Chen Tian, the Xuelou can still live even if they are cut in half because their bodies have the ability to regenerate and heal rapidly. The only way to permanently kill someone from the Xuelou who is still a mortal is by either destroying the head or the heart," Wu Ye quickly explained.
"Fuck! Why didn't you say that earlier!!" Chen Tian exclaimed, frustration evident in his voice.
He swiftly approached Malakai, who was writhing in pain, and directed his sword towards his head.
The man and Baihu had yet to arrive since the distance between them and Chen Tian was too far, which gave a chance for Chen Tian for one more attack.
"Boy, stop!! You must not kill him!" The man shouted in a panicked voice. If harm befell Malakai, the kid's father would not overlook the situation.
Sadly for him, Chen Tian ignored the man's plea and swung his sword down with the intent to kill Malakai.
But before the sword could reach Malakai's head, an enormous pressure descended on Chen Tian alone, causing him to halt his attack mid-swing.
Baihu and the man's expressions quickly changed.
"Chen Tian, you must dodge from above!" Wu Ye yelled, her voice filled with urgency.
The moment she finished her sentence, a huge red palm descended from the sky, smashing into Chen Tian's position with incredible force.
BOOOMM~~~~!!!!!
"NO!!"
Baihu panicked as she watched the enormous palm completely obliterate Chen Tian, leaving behind nothing but a cloud of dust.
"Yecha!!!" Baihu roared in anger and grief, her eyes filled with rage as the cultivation of a nascent soul exploded from her body.
She quickly looked up at the sky, where a figure appeared. Malakai, who had halved his body, stood next to the figure.
