The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard-Chapter 671 Why do you treat him like this alone?_1

The little sapling suddenly stiffened.

She desperately tried to burrow into the soil below, hoping to retreat back underground, but as soon as her roots began to move, her body was locked in place by a tremendous force. How could she possibly continue to burrow?

The little sapling stiffly turned her tender and immature body and, looking at Delaney Hunter with a faint smile on her face, asked in despair, "Hadn’t you left?"

Delaney Hunter replied calmly, "Your Nascent Soul ran away, burrowing into the ground. Did you think I wouldn’t know?"

The little sapling was completely despondent.

"You claimed your Nascent Soul was at Great Perfection, you lied, with your strength, where is it only a Nascent Soul? Divinity Transformation would be more like it!"

Delaney Hunter naturally didn’t bother to explain anything to the little sapling. With a mere gesture, the little sapling was snatched up without any resistance and then hovered above the palm of Delaney Hunter’s hand.

The little sapling closed her eyes in despair, waiting for death to come.

She had underestimated Delaney Hunter’s strength. She thought she could fight Delaney Hunter but ended up being soundly defeated and was utterly decimated.

In her desperation, her Nascent Soul left her body and rapidly escaped into the ground.

The Nascent Soul, being incorporeal, easily burrowed into the ground, and she fled a great distance in one breath. However, the Nascent Soul of the Nascent Soul Stage was still very weak. It was like a newborn baby, which couldn’t survive long without its physical body.

Luckily, she was originally a tree demon and, while fleeing underground, she found a sapling that suited her possession. She then attached herself to it, merging the two into one, and finally emerged from the soil – only to be caught by Delaney Hunter, who was waiting for her.

Previously, as a Nascent Soul, she could escape through the earth with ease. But now that she had taken on the sapling’s form and her strength had greatly diminished, she was devoid of any ability to flee and could only wait for death.

Delaney Hunter needed only to squeeze her hand to explode her body and end her life.

She waited a long time but there was no movement. Opening her eyes, she looked at Delaney Hunter, "Why don’t you take action?"

Delaney Hunter smiled, "A tree demon is a rare existence in this world. It’s a pity to kill you. Since you’re already crippled, I might as well keep you for fun"

The little sapling clenched her teeth, powerless to change her fate.

Delaney Hunter effortlessly grasped her, then sealed her and put her into a bag, which she hung at her waist before soaring into the sky.

...

"What is Cameron Hunter doing?"

Francisco Smith opened his eyes, regaining some color on his pale face. The previous bout of fighting had almost drained him completely.

Killian Jaramillo sat cross-legged not far away, glanced at Carson Flores, who was still closing his eyes to heal, and answered, "I don’t know, let’s wait."

This glance, caught by Francisco Smith, set his heart aflame with jealousy once again.

Something’s wrong!

There’s definitely something between you two!

Francisco Smith sighed, "Who would have thought we would encounter such a powerful tree demon. We were almost completely annihilated."

Killian Jaramillo uttered, "Thanks to Carson Flores. Relying on the power of the Water-Fire Mirror, he was able to inflict heavy damages on the tree demon, delaying it for so long. Otherwise, we wouldn’t even have had the chance to release a Distress Talisman, let alone escape."

Francisco Smith asked in confusion, "The Water-Fire Realm is the magical treasure of the Water-Fire Real Person and was said to have disappeared ages ago. How did it end up in the hands of Carson Flores? I’ve never heard of him before." freёnovelkiss-com

Killian Jaramillo explained, "He came from the secular world and hasn’t been here long. He must have brought the Water-Fire Mirror with him from the outside."

"Came from the outside?"

Francisco Smith paused, and then asked, "Killian, how do you know such details?"

Killian Jaramillo replied indifferently, "I met him earlier, we talked for a while, and I found out."

Killian Jaramillo had been wary of causing trouble for Carson Flores before and had been careful with her words, but now, seeing that Carson Flores was not only at the Golden Core Realm but also possessed the powerful Water-Fire Mirror and was protected by Delaney Hunter, she no longer needed to hide anything.

Delaney Hunter had even taught Carson Flores the Three-foot Sword Veil. Even if their relationship wasn’t that of master and disciple, it was certainly not bad, and with her protection, Francisco Smith wouldn’t dare to openly harm Carson Flores.

Although the Deputy Sect Master of the Crane Sect was formidable, facing an enraged Delaney Hunter, he would still get nothing but a beating.

Delaney Hunter was an outlier of the Nutwood Heavenly Cave, with strength at Nascent Soul Great Perfection, but when it came to a real fight, even Deity Transformation Period Cultivators might not be able to withstand her!

All four Sect Masters were at the Divinity Transformation Stage, and they had all fought Delaney Hunter, but none dared to say they could surely prevail over her.

Francisco Smith acknowledged with an "Oh" and eventually couldn’t help asking, "With so many people just now, why did you care for him so exclusively?"

Killian Jaramillo answered evenly, "Without him just now, we wouldn’t be able to sit here and chat."

Francisco Smith choked on Killian Jaramillo’s words, finding himself unable to retort.

He desperately wanted to say that he had given his all and contributed too, but thinking about how he was easily defeated by the tree demon with a single strike, while Carson Flores was capable of heavily injuring the tree demon and repeatedly countering the tree demon’s assaults, he found those words hard to utter.

"Indeed, without Carson Flores’ Water-Fire Mirror, we probably would have been drained to husks by now."

The implication of Francisco Smith’s words wasn’t that Carson Flores was so capable, but that the Water-Fire Mirror was powerful.

If the Water-Fire Mirror was in my hands, I could have done the same!

Killian Jaramillo remained silent, casting a glance at Carson Flores, her eyes filled with admiration.

Indeed, the Water-Fire Mirror was formidable, but in this battle, what Carson Flores demonstrated was far more than just the might of the Water-Fire Mirror.
