Chapter 501 Leave him to me
Xavier kicked the transcendent-rank individual from the Nightkin race opposite him away in mid-air before he raised his spear to use his strongest skill to kill the numerous enemies on the land.
Bia's eyes narrowed at his move... she had seen it before. Not only Bia, Jian's eyes also narrowed, and he also prepared to use his strongest skill with the man. Just like the duo, many other floating strong divine-rank and pseudo-divine rank humans also got ready to use their strongest skills.
The air rumbled, and cracks appeared within the space around Xavier.
The eyes of the transcendent rank individual from the Nightkin race, who had just balanced himself mid-air, dilated when a beam of white light shot out from Xavier's spear, traveling toward the people of his race who were fighting on the land. The beam of light moved even faster than lightning and only selectively killed the people of the Nightkin race while leaving the humans untouched.
Bia's eyes brightened, and a touch of blue shimmered within her crimson pupils that had begun to turn completely golden after she stepped into the divine rank.
In the next moment, a thunderous echo resonated from her body, accompanied by a flood of pure golden flames that extended to follow the beam.
Jian chuckled, his pupils quivered slightly as he utilized nearly ninety percent of his divine energy to conjure another sea of flames that followed the golden flames.
But unlike before, after reaching the true divine rank, he had learned to control his skills and spells completely. Now, his flames and all the other spells he used as a mage traveled according to his command to target only the individuals he desired to eliminate.
After the duo, many other pseudo-divine and divine rank humans also unleashed their most potent skills and spells. In an instant, the battlefield was engulfed in ice, flames, earth, lightning, wind currents, and various other abilities that rained down from the sky upon the enemies.
The air became saturated, and the sky darkened due to the immense divine energy harnessed in mere moments.
The land trembled violently under the pressure, and countless agonizing cries echoed through the air. The humans seized the advantage they gained and started killing every enemy within their sight.
Xavier panted and glanced at the transcendent rank individual from the nightkin race who was fleeing from the scene after seeing how his people were completely defeated.
"Where do you think you are going, you bastard!?"
He raised his spear and with immense force hurled it directly at the fleeing man, who cried out as the spear impaled his shoulder. Instantly, blood oozed out from the man's shoulder to stain his already red clothes an even deeper crimson.
Xavier clicked his tongue as his hand trembled. He had barely maintained his balance in mid-air after hurling his spear away. His entire body was screaming with pain, and he swore if not because he wanted to kill the strongest enemy he would have closed his eyes. A smile spread across his face when he saw Jian who arrived beside him and grabbed his arm to balance him.
Bia glanced at the duo and, after ordering the monsters under her command to clear the battlefield, she zoomed in towards the man who was still attempting to flee despite his badly injured shoulder.
-"Leave him to me."
Jian blinked as he stared at the phoenix who immediately started beating up the injured transcendent-rank individual with the advantage of her huge body.
He winced at the sight and glanced at Xavier only to see the man had placed his other hand above his head to watch the fight with an excited expression.
Jian shook his head at the excited man who had been trying his best to rope the phoenix since the moment Jian and Bia arrived here.
It's actually been more than three years since he and Bia arrived on this planet. At first, he thought they had landed on a planet that had been conquered by the dark side because they fell from the sky directly into the middle of a battlefield.
Bia immediately lost consciousness, probably because she took the most impact when they crashed on the planet. Jian fought in the battlefield for a while, but the enemies were too strong. He quickly realized he was on the losing end, but he couldn't leave Bia behind. So, he fought and did his best to wake up the phoenix. But fortunately, before anything bad happened to them, a group of humans saved them and took them to a safe place.
Bia was frustrated and angry after she woke up because she was not able to contact Kyle properly, and Jian wouldn't allow her to leave the planet alone.
She was very happy when she finally managed to reach Kyle, but after talking with him for a minute, she cursed a lot and scared away every human who dared to approach her for the next few days.
Jian found out about it later, but Kyle, that bastard, asked her not to look for him and instead go to the Sacred Divine Land. The silver-haired man claimed he would come find her, but for some unknown reason, he blocked Bia's voice, and after that, she couldn't sense him at all.
That was the moment when the duo decided to help the humans on the planet as a token of gratitude for the time when the humans saved their lives. They both entered the battlefield and began fighting alongside the humans to defeat the nightkin race.
Additionally, they started searching for a way to reach the sacred divine land to find Kyle, who had disappeared after Bia's last interaction with him, almost as if he had ceased to exist. If it weren't for the fact that Bia could still sense their connection and hadn't felt that Kyle was dead, the phoenix would have already left Jian behind to search for Kyle in the vast universe.
Jian let out a sigh and slapped Xavier on the back to make him stop gazing at the phoenix with sparkling eyes.
Xavier was the only transcendent rank human on the planet after his father, who was the strongest on this planet, passed away in the war. But as Jian had mentioned earlier, from the moment Xavier laid his eyes on the phoenix, he became interested in Bia. Also, his interest grew when he witnessed Bia commanding thousands of monsters to fight alongside her.
"Man, she's already taken. Don't even think about trying to win her over because..."
Jian took a exaggerating breath to emphasize his next words.
"Her companion is very dangerous. He could easily turn you into an ice sculpture with just a flick of his fingers!"
"Don't come crying to me later saying I didn't give you a heads up."
