Even hybrid monsters have their day

She was initially quite disgusted by his zombie identity, but at this moment she didn't care whether he was human or not; she only hoped that she wouldn't fall from the sky and become a meat patty.

Sensing the approaching presence of those behind him, Zhang Zijian, unwilling to linger, reached out to push her away, hoping to escape quickly. However, he underestimated the gripping strength Geng Miaowan displayed in this life-or-death situation, and despite pushing twice, he couldn't move her.

A sinister glint flashed in his eyes, and he gathered spiritual energy in his hand before striking her.

"No!" Geng Miaowan cried out in alarm, releasing one hand in an attempt to stop him, but she forgot how she could hold on firmly with only one hand. Just as her hand successfully grasped Zhang Zijian's hand, her other hand slipped down.

Although the hand holding Zhang Zijian's hand pulled with all its might, it couldn't overcome the force of gravity and eventually slid down.

"Ah..." A short, startled cry escaped her throat.

In the instant she fell, she shouted in her mind, "Luan Hao, you're ruthless!" She had only said something bad about men, and he was already treating her like this.

However, after she shouted that, the descent accelerated. Little White clearly had no intention of helping; she couldn't understand how her words could have hurt a dog.

Just when Geng Miaowan thought she was about to be turned into a meat pie, a white shadow flashed by, and the next second, she fell into a somewhat cold embrace. A faint, refreshing fragrance wafted into her nostrils; she had never smelled such a fresh and elegant scent before. At first glance, it resembled the vibrant spring blossoms covering the mountains, but upon closer inspection, it was far more refined and serene than any floral fragrance, bringing a sense of openness and comfort.

Looking up, a stunningly beautiful face came into view. A few strands of silver hair cascaded down his shoulders, brushing against her face. Only at this close range did she notice that his eyes were a rare deep gray, pure and without a trace of impurity, shining like the finest glass. His long, thick, and curled eyelashes cast soft shadows on his eyelids, blurring the expression in his eyes.

"Are you alright?" Peng Yuxian's face and tone remained expressionless.

"Peng Yuxian!" Luan Hao's voice startled Geng Miaowan, who quickly shook her head, her expression somewhat strange.

Peng Yuxian let go of her arm after they stopped standing, and looked up at the sky, but she was nowhere to be seen. He closed his eyes, concentrated for a moment, and when he opened them again, his eyes were already fixed on the distance.

Geng Miaowan pointed in that direction, "Zhang Zijian is over there!" Her voice had barely rang out when Peng Yuxian's figure disappeared from her sight.

Geng Miaowan withdrew her hand, looking curiously at the new object in her palm—a ring. She thought for a moment; could it be the one she'd grabbed from Zhang Zijian's hand when she fell from the sky? But what was its purpose?

Presumably, anything Zhang Zijian would wear on his hand wouldn't be useless. She wanted to ask Luan Hao about it, but he hadn't said a word since Peng Yuxian appeared.

At this moment, Jin Mo and the others arrived one after another. She quickly put her things away and planned to ask Luan Hao about them later when she had time.

Jin Mo and the others witnessed the shocking scene from afar, but seeing that she was unharmed, he signaled Haozi and the others to join the battle against Zhang Zijian and Qiu Pi.

Qiu Pi was already no match for Jiao Lingfeng due to his injuries, and now that several more helpers had arrived, and he could sense that the man fighting Zhang Zijian was no ordinary person, once he finished off Zhang Zijian, he would have nowhere to escape.

He was never one of them; he only temporarily submitted to Zhang Zijian because he wanted the treasure in Zhang's possession. Now that he saw Zhang Zijian was doomed, he naturally had no reason to get involved in the matter.

After all, treasures are always available, but life is only once.

Thinking of this, he cast a spell and, before the two helpers could join in, leaped a few times and landed far away. He gave Geng Miaowan a strange look one last time, and then disappeared like the wind.

Seeing that he had run away, Jiao Lingfeng and Haozi rushed towards Zhang Zijian's location, as he was their target.

Zhang Zijian was no match for Peng Yuxian to begin with, and with so many more people joining in, even though Jin Mo and the others weren't particularly strong, none of them could defeat him in a one-on-one fight.

However, even a mosquito can kill an elephant if it bites hard enough. Moreover, with such a master among masters in charge, Zhang Zijian was captured in just a few rounds. Geng Miaowan also removed the cage, allowing them to capture Ninth Sister together.

After capturing the person, Haozi and his gang surrounded Geng Miaowan tightly.

Heng Yihao slapped her on the shoulder and said, "I didn't realize you were such a hidden talent."

When they came over just now, they could clearly see that brightly lit cage. Not to mention them, even their leader Jin Mo would never be able to cast the "Drawing a Circle on the Ground to Create a Prison" spell. Yet this little girl, who was a complete novice just a few months ago, was casting it with such ease. They were both amazed and envious.

Heng Yihao was tall and strong, and the force of his slap was enough to make Geng Miaowan stagger backward. Fortunately, Bu Luoyuan, who was standing behind her, reached out to support her. Bu Luoyuan glanced at Heng Yihao and said reproachfully, "Don't you know how to control your strength? How can such a delicate little girl withstand a slap like that from you?"

“That’s right, that’s right,” Gu Xia and Gan Ruwu echoed.

Geng Miaowan is now a big star in their group. Because of her, their group finally received a mission to level up for the first time. And things went surprisingly smoothly; they even caught the person without much effort.

With their current strength, defeating Zhang Zijian would have been an impossible task. Even with Jiao Lingfeng's last-minute decision to help, they hadn't expected Zhang Zijian to be a drought demon in the Tribulation Transcending stage who had been hiding his true power. Fortunately, Geng Miaowan had secured such a powerful ally for them; otherwise, even if they had come, they probably would have only been able to sigh in despair at Zhang Zijian.

Their level of cultivation was nothing compared to his; they were not even worth mentioning.
