Chapter 147: Chapter 147
For a moment, Nalan Yanran, covered in tears, froze. Since childhood, Yun Yun and the elders of the sect taught her. Hence, she couldn't even refute Xiao Ning.
Xiao Ning's face slowly turned indifferent. He wouldn't pity Nalan Yanran just because she's a woman. To him, only a dead enemy is a good enemy.
In the distance, Yun Yun entangled by one of the snake-people tribe leaders, became anxious. She had treated Nalan Yanran like her own daughter and couldn't bear to lose her.
"Don't!" Yun Yun shouted from afar. Her voice was filled with helplessness, and one could even hear a hint of pleading in it. Who could have thought that the mighty and arrogant Yun Yun would beg one day.
Xiao Ning's cold eyes were on Nalan Yanran, and he ignored Yun Yun's plea; he thrust his hand through her chest.
'Pfff!' Nalan Yanran's eyes widened in shock as she slowly lowered her head to see Xiao Ning's arm covered in her blood. She threw out blood, and her consciousness began to fade; in the next second, Nalan Yanran, one of the foremost geniuses in the Jia Ma Empire, died.
The moment Xiao Ning pierced her chest, the dark golden flame on his hand burned her heart. In the next instant, Xiao Ning slowly took back his arm, and her corpse fell to the ground.
...
Xiao Yan and Hai Bo Dong, who were fortunate enough to escape from Xiao Ning's encirclement, were stopped by the barrier the Misty Cloud Sect used to trap everyone.
"Damm!"
"None of our attacks are working." Xiao Yan spoke irritably.
Hai Bo Dong silently stood beside him. He noticed there was something wrong with Xiao Yan.
"Sigh! Only from outside can you open this barrier be opened." Hai Bo Dong turned his head, and his eyes stared into the distance. No one could guess what he was thinking.
While racking their brains to think of a solution, they sensed a searing heat in the distance, followed by Yun Yun's voice filled with helplessness and despair.
After hearing this, Xiao Yan stopped in his tracks.
"Teacher, I..."
"Sigh! Boy, do what you want to do; otherwise, you will regret it later," Yao Lao instantly guessed what his disciple was thinking.
"Old Hai, I am going back," Xiao Yan's eyes stared into the distance, and his voice carried his determination to save her.
The corner of Hai Bo Dong's eyes twitched. He couldn't understand what made Xiao Yan change his mind. The mere thought of Medusa's presence made his body tremble in fear.
For a moment, Hai Bo Dong stared at Xiao Yan before he smiled wryly. 'Anyway, I am stuck with this brat, so let's play a big one.'
"Why?"
"We are going to rescue a person," Xiao Yan smiled sheepishly, acting like an idiot.
"Who?" Hai Bo Dong's heart jumped. He thought of something, as if lightning struck in his mind, and he looked at Xiao Yan in shock.
"Are you crazy?" Hai Bo Dong asked.
Xiao Yan didn't speak; he slightly distanced himself from Hai Bo Dong and closed his eyes.
The next moment, his breath soared, and substantial dou qi gushed out of his body. In a matter of seconds, Xiao Yan's realm jumped from a Dou Grandmaster to a peak Dou Emperor.
The moment when he opened his eyes, Xiao Yan's aura changed as if he was an entirely different person. A white light bloomed in his eyes, and an endless chill surrounded his body.
"Let's go." A pair of white flame-like wings appeared on his back, and Xiao Yan soared into the sky.
Hai Bo Dong sighed helplessly, Xiao Yan's actions proved his determination, and he could only follow the latter and hope he bet right.
....
Xiao Ning turned around and returned without even glancing at Nalan Yanran's corpse.
After seeing him, Yun Yun's mind went blank, and she erupted; crazy amounts of dou qi poured out of her body. With sheer force, she overthrew the snake-people tribe leader and rushed toward Xiao Ning.
Yun Yun put all of the dou qi she could mobilize into her sword, and her sword shone brightly. Under the intense light, visible cracks appeared on its surface.
She swung her sword, and an intense sword light tore through the air and rushed toward Xiao Ning.
The sword light locked on Xiao Ning, stopping him from evading her attack.
After seeing this, Xiao Ning sneered, and his heart started beating faster. Fine golden dragon scales appeared and covered his body, and the dark golden wings behind his back changed to phoenix wings. In an instant, his realm soared to the peak of Dou Emperor from the peak of Dou Spirit.
Then, an aura belonging to a higher-dimensional creature radiated from his body and pressed against everyone present.
'Roar!' Xiao Ning raised his arm and patted the sword light with his claw. A loud dragon roar sounded, and it unilaterally crushed her attack.
The next moment, before they could attack, both Yun Yun and Xiao Ning sensed two people flying toward them at a high speed.
Xiao Ning raised his head, and his golden pupils looked at two approaching people and spoke coldly, "How dare you return?"
They were none other than Xiao Yan and Hai Bo Dong.
After seeing them, Xiao Ning's face turned icy cold, and a murderous aura loomed around him. The bloodline aura released from his body pressed against them as if trying to make them submit.
Xiao Yan's icy white eyes ignored him, and he glanced at Yun Yun behind him; only then did he let out a sigh of relief.
Xiao Ning's senses were extremely keen, and Xiao Yan's changes did not go unnoticed.
"Old Hai, you back down and be ready to act at any moment." Xiao Yan spoke in a different voice from usual.
Xiao Ning's eyes looked back and forth at Xiao Yan and Yun Yun and looked thoughtful. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and his golden eyes shone even more brightly.
