The Jiaoren was caught off guard; not being a creature with high combat capabilities, it had no way to mount an immediate defense. Though the bee reacted, it had only just recovered from its weakened state. As it turned and flapped its wings, it managed to block only a small portion of the attack.
Just as the Guardian Spirit was about to be struck, a layer of white scales materialized over its body, instantly deflecting the entire wave of the attack. Only then did Mu Yan realize that the attack, while seemingly lightning-fast, lacked actual force, as if the spiritual power had dissipated mid-strike. The bee shook its wings, clearing its head from its dazed state; the blow it had blocked caused it no real harm, leaving it only slightly dizzy.
"A dual-form Guardian Spirit, fused with the soul of Jiaoren scales—and you still claim to be a mortal? If that's the case, then the mortals of this world are far too capable."
