Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort novel Chapter 661

Chapter 661: Chapter 96: Pressing In Step by Step! (Three Updates)

Tiger of Wrath!

Mu Qingge retracted her step and thought to herself, ’The Tiger of Wrath you’re talking about, is it the fierce beast nearly as famous as you?’

’Hah~! I am the Ancestor of Fierce Beasts. The Tiger of Wrath is still a bit lacking compared to me. However, the presence of these two spirits is weak. I suppose they aren’t the true bodies. If they were... heh heh...’ Hou laughed gleefully, "today might be your end."

’Thanks for the warning. Anyway, if I die, you’ll be buried with me. No loss.’ Mu Qingge retorted with a faint sarcasm.

A certain prideful rabbit huffed coldly and fell silent.

With Hou’s warning, Mu Qingge became more cautious. She stepped forward, and as she landed between the two ice sculptures of the Tiger of Wrath, a sudden ice-blue light shot out in a line between them, aiming at her.

Mu Qingge quickly pulled her leg back, retreated to the side, and the others followed suit, avoiding the attack.

The ice-blue light struck a distant ice pillar, ’boom,’ the pillar shattered into debris, falling to the ground.

This scene made all five people’s eyes narrow simultaneously.

Yuanyuan withdrew his gaze, looking intently at the two ice sculptures, the vermillion mark between his brows looked particularly striking. He smiled wickedly, pinching his fingers, and walked toward the ice sculptures.

While walking, he said, "Quite capable, huh! I’ll burn you all and see how you’ll block my boss’s path."

"Yuanyuan." Mu Qingge suddenly stepped in front of him, stopping his action.

Yuanyuan asked confusedly, "Boss, is it not good if I burn these guard dogs for you?"

Mu Qingge slowly shook her head and said plainly, "This is the cave dwelling opened by the ancestors of the Mu Clan, specifically designed to hide the Divine Strategy Middle Volume. They wouldn’t stop the descendants of the Mu Clan from entering."

Her gaze lingered over the two ice sculptures of the Tiger of Wrath, "If I’m not mistaken, some trials are needed to enter, right?"

"Descendants of the Mu Clan, we have been waiting for you for over ten thousand years."

Shortly after she spoke, a voice filled with ancient savagery slowly drifted out.

Immediately, the two ice sculptures of the Tiger of Wrath before her began to change, as if coming to life...

Mu Qingge’s eyes narrowed, full of vigilance deep in them.

Jiang Li moved to help but was stopped by Mu Chen. "This is the trial for the Young Master. We cannot intervene." He gestured the others to step back, so as not to affect Mu Qingge’s performance.

A moment later, the two ice sculptures of the Tiger of Wrath transformed into lifelike creatures with transparent bodies glowing mildly. They stepped down from the pedestals and stood before Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge’s shoulders tensed, prepared for anything.

’Your Mu Clan ancestors indeed made grand gestures. To guard this place and test you descendants, they actually extracted the Essence of a Tiger of Wrath and divided it in two.’ Hou spoke again.

Mu Qingge felt her heart sink.

If what Hou said was true, then the Essence of this Tiger of Wrath, extracted and trapped here for ten thousand years, must resent the Mu Clan deeply. This trial may not be easy to pass.

"Descendant of the Mu Clan, state your name!" The Tiger of Wrath Essence ordered. Its large eyes, like bronze bells, gazed down coldly and fiercely at Mu Qingge.

"Mu Qingge." Mu Qingge took a deep breath and stated her name.

"Defeat me, and you may enter. Lose, and die." Sure enough, the Tiger of Wrath laid out the simple and brutal rules.

’Little girl, don’t say I didn’t warn you. This Essence is halved, meaning they can sense and support each other. Your difficulty has increased significantly. I suggest you retreat if you’re not sure, and return when you’re stronger.’ Hou advised Mu Qingge.

Retreat and return later?

Mu Qingge shook her head. She didn’t notice the change in Hou’s tone, but responded, "It’s not just me who wants what’s inside. If I retreat now, I may never get it again."

"Hmph, stubborn." Hou grumbled, "I’m telling you, this is a test set by your Mu Clan ancestors for you seekers. No one can intervene. Once someone helps, the trial fails. You need to think it through; losing means death."

"Young Master!"

"Boss!"

"Qingge!"

Mu Qingge’s ears were filled with worried voices from several people.

Mu Qingge’s peripheral vision scanned over the four companions, telling them, "None of you intervene. I’ll handle this myself."

"Be careful."

"Boss, be careful!"

"Young Master, be careful."

This was a battle where no one could help, relying solely on Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge’s right hand flashed with silver light, the Linglong Spear gripped firmly in her hand. She said to Hou, "Since you can’t help in the fight, you must at least know their weaknesses, right?"

Hou paused in silence, then spoke in a stuffy voice, "They are merely Essence, trapped here for thousands of years, their power not even a tenth of before. Think carefully about the rules they just stated."

Rules!

Mu Qingge’s eyes glinted, ’Defeat it and enter, lose and die?’

Defeat to enter!

Mu Qingge realized the meaning. With a slight smile, she addressed the Tiger of Wrath Essence, "Mu Qingge seeks instruction!" With that, she took the initiative, and with a clear whistle, the Linglong Spear pierced toward one of the Tigers of Wrath.

Boom—!

The two Tigers of Wrath entwined around Mu Qingge, completely surrounding her.

In the blink of an eye, countless moves had already been exchanged.

"These Gate Guardian Divine Beasts are impeccable in both attack and defense, supporting each other flawlessly. The Young Master alone finds it hard to break through their encirclement!" Mu Peng said tensely.

Mu Chen nodded, his eyebrows furrowed in seriousness, "It’s up to the Young Master’s fate now."

"Believe in Qingge." Jiang Li said with a deep voice.

Yuanyuan nodded as well, "I believe the boss will definitely win!"

Every time Mu Qingge’s spear tip cut through the air, it brought forth waves of silver light, constantly clashing with the Tigers of Wrath in fierce combat. Soon, their forms became indistinguishable amidst the fight.

Suddenly, Mu Qingge was knocked flying, landing on the ground, making the hearts of the four watching tighten sharply.

But Mu Qingge wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, eyes sparkling with excitement, and declared, "Again!"

"Boss!"

Mu Chen and the four others charged forward.

However, the voice sounded again, "Only descendants of the Mu Clan are allowed in here. Others who intrude will be killed without mercy!"

Mu Qingge stood at the door, turning to the four and said: "Wait for me here." Finished, she closed her eyes briefly, then opened them to add, "They have found the entrance but have not opened it. If they come here, ensure your safety first. Don’t worry about me."

After speaking, the gate that had automatically opened closed again, blocking the anxious view of others.

"Is the boss safe alone inside? Will there be another test?" Yuanyuan expressed concern.

Mu Chen thought for a moment and shook his head, saying: "This is the testing ground set by the ancestors of the Mu Clan, not intended to harm the descendants. The Young Master should be fine inside."

"Let’s wait here, also staying alert to any other movements. Who knows if those above have the skills to open this passage. Hopefully, they will be slow and give Qingge more time." Jiang Li frowned slightly and said.

The four outside the mansion gate exchanged glances, all understanding.

The original hope was to find the Divine Strategy and quietly leave, avoiding confrontation with the people of the Divine Demon Continent and preventing a battle. But now, the other side has found the location, an encounter is only a matter of time.

Now, their hope lies in Mu Qingge obtaining the Divine Strategy before those from the Divine Demon Continent arrive!

...

On the snowfield, Mu Tianyin’s mood was bleak.

He was sure the Divine Strategy was hidden here, but he had yet to find the entrance.

Much time had passed, yet his efforts were unsuccessful—not only failing to find the Divine Strategy but also losing a person.

"Young Master, we’ve searched thoroughly many times around here but still haven’t discovered anything." His subordinate reported progress again.

However, there was nothing gratifying in the report.

"Useless bunch!" Mu Tianyin harshly replied.

He walked alone to the glacial cliff, stubbornly searching again.

His three subordinates behind him exchanged glances. They indeed found nothing and were useless—just like their Young Master, who also hadn’t found anything.

"No! Why not!" Mu Tianyin punched the cliff in frustration, channeling his inner rage.

At that moment, some snowflakes gently fell from the top of the cliff, landing on him.

The snow melted into cold water, calming him down.

Lifting his gaze, he looked towards the cliff’s top, slowly retreating, eyes filled with drifting snowflakes.

He spread his arms, catching the snowflakes. At first, he felt nothing, but a sudden discovery made him widen his eyes abruptly, with an intense gleam in his eyes.

He saw the snowflakes caught in his left hand disappeared, while those falling elsewhere melted into water.

This discovery made his eyes narrow gradually, coldly smiling in his heart.

He withdrew his right hand, keeping his left hand extended, constantly catching snowflakes. Slowly, he seemed to be moving along an invisible path...
