Chapter 1349: Chapter 1362: Formidable (Third Update)
Their hiding place was exposed.
The Two-star Giant King threw a punch at Green Pearl.
The destructive force of the domineering punch was enough to shatter Green Pearl’s body into pieces.
And he was too close to Green Pearl, striking too suddenly.
There was no time for Green Pearl to react!
By the time Green Pearl saw the punch, she didn’t even have a chance to dodge with Instantaneous Movement!
Her pupils shrank drastically, feeling death’s shroud cover her, her whole body went ice cold.
Just as the fist neared, suddenly, her collar was tugged, and the next moment, she flew backward uncontrollably.
It was Jiang Fan, being flung away, realized the danger, and hurriedly used the Void Fishing Rod, instinctively reeling Green Pearl away with him.
Bang!
The punch hit empty air!
The space where Green Pearl had been standing collapsed with a crash.
If it had hit her, Green Pearl would have turned into a cloud of blood mist by now.
Surviving a near-death experience, Green Pearl’s heart thumped wildly, just about to express her gratitude.
Suddenly.
The missed punch bizarrely swelled several times its size.
Green Pearl was still struck by the edge of the fist.
Puh!
In an instant, Green Pearl’s delicate body was flung sideways, spraying blood, crashing heavily toward the ground in the direction of the Void Fishing Rod.
"Green Pearl!" Jiang Fan hurried to catch her, but as soon as he touched her.
The terrifying power inside Green Pearl erupted, shattering his arm into a mist of blood on the spot!
"Don’t touch her!" True Word Venerable’s face changed drastically.
Quickly pushed Jiang Fan aside, catching Green Pearl with her own hands.
Bang bang bang—
A series of muffled rumbles spread from True Word Venerable’s arms into her body.
Crimson blood seeped from the corner of her mouth at an alarming rate.
A wisp of pain spread across her pretty face.
"Such strong power!" She looked toward the faintly discernible figure in the Yin Qi, her expression extremely grave.
Jiang Fan, on the other hand, looked at Green Pearl with concern.
Seeing she was still breathing, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This injury was much lighter than when attacked by Ari Shura King.
Hurriedly, he took out some Revitalizing Pills, swallowing a handful himself, feeding another to Green Pearl.
Only then did he look at the attacker.
Noticing the Original Star on their forehead, he couldn’t help but be shocked:
"Two-star Giant King? How is that possible?"
The giant king before him was only the size of an average Human Clan member!
How could there be such a giant king?
Typically, a giant king stood at least twenty feet tall.
Even the Giant Emperor’s daughter, Princess Zi Jiang, was eight feet high.
How could this giant king be similar in size to a Human Clan member?
But that wasn’t what shocked Jiang Fan the most.
He was astonished by how the giant king came to Central Earth!
It was known that the Connecting Sky Black Pillar of Taicang State had always been in Black Cloud Village.
According to the Heavenly Realm’s laws, Ancient Giants couldn’t enter the village until the Great Hunt Day—how did this Two-star Giant King descend?
He recalled the previous worries expressed at the Great Wine Sacrifice.
It was mentioned that there was an aura of Ancient Giants on Taicang State.
Then Jiang Fan didn’t pay much mind, thinking it was remnants from a thousand years ago, such as the Cold Mountain Giant King, with little power left, not a concern.
Yet, this Two-star Giant King, at its peak strength and imposing, clearly just descended from the Heavenly Realm!
Could it have descended through the Connecting Sky Black Pillar in another state and traveled all the way to Taicang State?
While Jiang Fan was bewildered, Green Pearl also struggled to lift her head.
Looking at the Two-star Giant King, bewilderment filled her face: "How is there a Two-star Giant King in Central Earth?"
She couldn’t fathom where this Two-star Giant King came from!
Until, the Two-star Giant King spoke coldly in the language of Hell.
"Green Pearl, you have indeed betrayed the Five-star Giant King!"
Green Pearl was shocked: "Were you sent by the Five-star Giant King?"
"Why haven’t I seen you before?"
"And how did you come down here?"
True Word Venerable discreetly withdrew her domain, casting a deep look toward Green Pearl.
Turning her head, she telepathically relayed to Jiang Fan.
"She’s not lying."
It turned out, True Word Venerable had initially suspected Green Pearl of bringing this Two-star Giant King down to the lower realm.
So she secretly cast the True Word Domain on her.
Yet the result was, Green Pearl didn’t recognize this Two-star Giant King either.
The Yin Qi dispersed.
The true visage of the Two-star Giant King was revealed.
An imposing giant king with rough and cracked skin, exuding a primal aura, donned in long black hair.
On his forehead, two green stars revolved.
His terrifying fist, several feet large, shrank drastically with the movement of the stars, finally becoming a normal size.
Jiang Fan, having turned his gaze, speculated, "The origin of this giant king must be the freedom to change size at will!"
Only then could his strange physique be explained.
And the freely resizable fist.
This also enabled him to descend through the four-feet-wide Connecting Sky Black Pillar.
However, this still doesn’t explain how he bypassed Black Cloud Village and directly entered the Connecting Sky Black Pillar!
The Two-star Giant King shot a glance at Jiang Fan, his massive eye occupying half his face revealing a predator’s cruelty.
"So you are the one who moved the Connecting Sky Black Pillar, very well, I have your head reserved."
"Now, I’ll deal with the traitor first."
The Two-star Giant King’s gaze shifted to Green Pearl, voice dripping with menace:
"For a mere ant from Central Earth, you dared betray the king of the Black Sun Royal Court!"
"Will you tear your own head off, or shall I do it?"
Green Pearl, struggling, jumped down from True Word Venerable’s grip.
"You all go ahead, I’ll handle him!"
But how could she be a match?
The previous hit already took half her life; she couldn’t withstand a full-force strike from the Two-star Giant King.
Just one encounter would result in her demise.
The Demoness stepped back slowly, her voice tense: "This type of giant king is beyond what we can handle!"
The punch that nearly blasted Green Pearl sent chills through her heart.
True Word Venerable also harbored deep caution.
A Two-star Giant King at full strength was indeed not someone she and the Demoness could handle together.
Even with the injured Green Pearl, they couldn’t stand a chance!
The Two-star Giant King squinted, glaring coldly at Green Pearl, "Still daring to resist?"
"Then I’ll handle it myself!"
Green Pearl showed a trace of despair, shouting, "Go, escape as far as you can!"
She was doomed.
But suddenly, a broad silhouette appeared in front of her.
It was Jiang Fan, standing guard before her.
This scene mirrored what happened when Ari Shura King intended to kill her.
"Don’t show off, he’s not like Ari Shura King!"
Green Pearl said anxiously.
During the confrontation with Ari Shura King, he had lost his sanity, merely becoming bloodthirsty without a clear target.
But this Two-star Giant King came specifically for Jiang Fan!
Standing in front of her, was he not courting death?
As expected.
The Two-star Giant King’s expression cooled, saying, "Perfect, I’ll kill you both together, save me the trouble of hunting you one by one!"
Without another word, he retracted his fist, preparing to crush them both!
Jiang Fan’s face remained calm, said, "Try it if you dare!"
He flipped his palm, a mirror appearing, held across his chest.
In the mirror, a purple-skinned giant sat cross-legged, sealed within the mirror.
Initially, the Two-star Giant King paid no attention.
But when he saw the person inside the mirror, his expression drastically changed: "Princess Zi Jiang?"
