Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off

Chapter 234: Chapter 232: The Honor of Their Lifetime

The members of the Dragon Guard and the Mystic Mechanism Building shot forward one after another.

Countless figures zipped through the dense forest like bullets.

But when the giant rabbit realized it was being pursued, it quickened its hopping pace, its enormous body crushing and slaughtering everything in its path.

Shen Yue, following not far behind, witnessed the brutal scene.

The sight of animals being trampled into paste or having their blood instantly drained assaulted her vision as she raced forward.

’No doubt about it,’ she thought. ’This is the Purple Rabbit that killed the two-horned rhinoceros.’

Shen Yue had never seen such a savage and ferocious rabbit.

In a short time, the ground in the Purple Rabbit’s wake was littered with the corpses of living creatures.

Rage erupted in Shen Yue’s heart.

Power built up within her. With a surge, her form blurred into an afterimage, instantly closing the distance to the giant rabbit.

”You beast! Still trying to run?!”

Mid-leap, the giant rabbit glanced sideways and saw Shen Yue closing in. Her approaching figure was reflected in its blood-red, vertical pupils.

At the same time, the terrifying power radiating from Shen Yue rushed toward it like a tidal wave.

Its savage aura suddenly intensified.

As it soared through the air, it came to a screeching halt, kicking up a thick cloud of debris from the ground.

The moment it landed, the muscles in its neck bulged like stone. Its three-part lip gaped open, and it whipped its head to the side, sinking its razor-sharp teeth into a nearby ancient tree.

CRACK—!!

With a deafening snap, the ancient tree—so thick it would take several people to wrap their arms around it—was bitten clean through by the Purple Rabbit.

Splinters flew from the break like bullets.

「The next second.」

The giant rabbit violently swung its head. The massive tree trunk, still in its maw, hurtled toward Shen Yue with overwhelming force, like a colossal hammer falling from the sky.

The wind howled as the tree’s shadow blotted out the sun.

Shen Yue’s pupils constricted. The gale-force wind rushing toward her nearly threw her off her feet.

Huang Ziyue, who had been keeping a close eye on Shen Yue, saw the giant tree hurtling toward her the moment he rushed over. His gaze tightened.

”Shen Yue!”

Two urgent cries reached her ears at almost the same time.

She glanced to the side and saw a white figure descending abruptly from the sky.

It was Bai Chaosi!

’He actually followed me.’

BANG!!

The tremendous sound shook the heavens.

Two streams of power, like dragons bursting from the sea, erupted from her sides and collided with the falling tree in midair.

The giant tree instantly exploded under the dual impact, its fragments raining down like meteorites.

A furious gale swept out, sending rubble flying everywhere.

Huang Ziyue moved in an instant to shield Shen Yue with his cloak.

But Shen Yue’s eyes were as cold and deep as the ocean. She had no time to wonder why Bai Chaosi was also here!

Her gaze pierced through the swirling gale, locking onto the giant rabbit.

She saw the rabbit was about to take the opportunity to flee.

”Stop it.”

She commanded sharply, her form turning into an afterimage as she shot forward.

Huang Ziyue and Bai Chaosi, who had remained in place, felt their hearts leap.

”Shen Yue, be careful!”

Shen Yue moved as fast as lightning. Just as the giant rabbit turned to dive into the dense woods and vanish into the misty barrier...

She appeared before it in an instant, like a phantom, blocking its path.

She hovered in midair, emanating a terrifying pressure. Her dark hair and dress billowed without any wind, and the eyes visible above her veil were incomparably sharp.

She raised a hand, and a formidable wave of Vitality Power shot from her palm like a passing tsunami.

The giant rabbit shuddered violently, as if not expecting her to be so fast.

It reacted instinctively, opening its cavernous, bloody maw to let out a piercing shriek at Shen Yue. The sound carried a wave of heat and a foul stench. At the same time, it raised a sharp claw and swiped.

Huang Ziyue, Bai Chaosi, and the others rushing over saw this, and their pupils shrank.

”Careful!”

They all raised their hands simultaneously, about to intercept the blow.

But before they could release their power...

They witnessed a scene they would never forget for the rest of their lives.

The giant rabbit’s claw, which had been slashing down with wind-cleaving force...

...stopped abruptly just before it could strike Shen Yue.

It was as if someone had hit the pause button mid-swing.

「The next second...」

Before their very eyes, the half-meter-long claws shattered, inch by inch.

Everyone’s pupils constricted.

Before they could even register their shock, the razor-sharp claws, like blades of steel, disintegrated into dust.

At that moment, the power around Shen Yue surged outward like a tidal wave, slamming into the Purple Rabbit.

BANG!

The Purple Rabbit’s massive body, as if made of paper-mâché, was instantly sent flying...

Its huge form flew over a hundred meters before crashing violently to the ground.

A massive fissure split the earth where it landed.

Meanwhile, the aftershock of her power rolled outward in waves like a passing hurricane, sweeping into the distance.

RUMBLE~

The entire mountaintop trembled.

The ground shook and the mountains swayed, as if the very peak was about to be sheared off.

Huang Ziyue, Bai Chaosi, and the others stood frozen in shock, maintaining their Protective Barriers.

When the aftershock hit, only their quick reflexes saved them from disaster.

Otherwise, they too would have been sent flying by the blow.

Now, everyone stared wide-eyed at the beautiful figure hovering in the air.

Her gaze was cold and stunning, her red dress swirling. The airflow around her shimmered with a faint halo, making her look like a Nine Heavens Goddess descended upon the mortal world, her splendor radiating in all directions.

The very wind seemed to gather and submit to her.

At this moment, the earth beneath her feet and all living things were like her subjects, awed into submission.

Huang Ziyue and Bai Chaosi could only stare at her, their hearts pounding like thunder amidst the tremors.

’A Shen Yue like this... she felt so untouchable... they even felt the urge to worship her.’

The members of the Mystic Mechanism Building standing behind the two men trembled with excitement.

This was their Master.

Their leader.

’So this is our Master’s power. So terrifying, so horrifying.’

This was the first time they had ever witnessed their Master wield such Divine Power.

In all the years past, they had only seen their Master as a charitable soul who saved the dying and healed the wounded. They knew she understood the affairs of the world, grasped the mandate of heaven and earth—that she was all-knowing and all-powerful.

She was like an otherworldly being who didn’t belong in this world.

She had single-handedly founded the Mystic Mechanism Building, spreading her intelligence network across the entire Beast World Continent. She possessed the fastest information network in the world and had manipulated the political situation of the Beast World on several occasions.

To the few of them who could meet her in person, their Master was a god.

And for the other members of the Mystic Mechanism Building who had never seen her, she was a mystery, an enigma, an object of faith.

And today, they had witnessed her wielding this terrifying power with their own eyes. How could they not be thrilled?

The members of the Dragon Guard were also deeply shaken.

In their hundred years of life, they had never seen such horrifying power.

A female possessing such Divine Power.

It wasn’t spiritual power, nor was it Brute Force. It was Divine Power capable of destroying the heavens and the earth.

They all turned in horror to look at their Flood Dragon King. ’Where in the world had their King found such a Female Master?’

When they had first received the secret order to protect a ”weak female,” they had never questioned it aloud.

But in their hearts, they had been filled with doubt.

They were the Dragon Guard of the Flood Dragon Clan, the clan’s most secret weapon. They hadn’t been deployed on a mission for a hundred years, and now their first mission was to protect a mere female?

But now, they finally understood why.

To be able to protect a female like this was the honor of a lifetime.

Besides, this wasn’t some weak female. This was clearly protecting a deity.

At that moment, a thousand thoughts raced through the minds of everyone on the ground. They gazed up at Shen Yue in the sky as if witnessing the descent of a god, unable to regain their senses for a long, long time.
