Chapter 703 “Bai Yan’s Arrival (4)”
“You stay by my side. I will handle the rest.” Letting go of her hand, Bai Yan slowly turned to confront the old hag who dares to cross herself. A wisp of killing intent promptly spreads out of her body, allowing it to cover the entire river bank.
In my previous life Azure Dragon was willing to exhaust his everything for me. Now that he’s reborn as Tsing Yi, I must do everything to keep her safe. I owe her so much that I can never repay her in full.
Eyes contracting against the defiance, Muzhen snaps: “You and this dragon, what are your relationship?”
“She’s my subordinate.” Bai Yan’s voice sounded neither haughty nor cold, yet it was able to easily provoke the ire of foe and her student.
Showing jealousy in her eyes, Mu Leng bites her lower lip, This girl was also dragged into the river by these two dragons. Why did they become her subordinate? If I had known it would come to this then I would’ve gone to save Huan Yin instead!
“Haha!” The old beauty’s reaction wasn’t as frosty, rather it swayed towards the hysterical side in that sarcastic cackle. “No wonder this dragon would refuse to become my student’s mount. So it’s a blind dragon. Out of consideration for its poor eyesight, I will let it die a quick death later.”
“As for you though…” squinting her eyes until its firing daggers, “colluding with dragons, humph, I won’t let you go either!”
Seeing there’s no reaction to her threat, Muzhen decides its time she allowed the other side to understand what it means to go against her will. The pressuring aura of a high-level Monarch Rank came gushing forward at her release. Even so, Bai Yan remains unfazed and stood there like she’s on a picnic trip.
Now she’s enraged. The old beauty did not expect the damn lassie to be able to stand up to herself in this state. Forming a fist, she smashes down with a hammering blow created by the energy she formed in the air.
Yet however, before her attack could even make contact, a loud hollering roar had come rushing over from the front. “Muzhen, how dare you make a move against our disciple!”
An attack came lunging over as soon as that was said, catching the old beauty by surprise due to being who the assailant was.
Zhongnan (older) held nothing back in his furious strike. Meeting the old woman’s hammer blow from above with his own palm, the resulting shockwave completely crushes the rocks nearby and riled up a dust of cloud.
“No, impossible, how can you break into the higher level of the Monarch Rank?!” Muzhen’s voice shook with incredulous.
In the old beauty’s view, reaching such a level may be difficult but not impossible for others. However, Zhongnan shouldn’t be able to in lifetime at all! Yet reality and the long trail of footmark on the sandy ground said it all. She’s been knocked backwards….
“There is nothing impossible in this world. Muzhen, its time we settled our debt today.” Taking several big strides forward, the old man’s expression was cold and sharp.
“Ha,” Muzhen scoffs a laugh, “so what if you broke into the higher level? No matter what you do, you are still one step behind me. Furthermore, you’re only you while we have everyone else here. What can a single you do before a whole crowd of us?”
It was Zhongnan’s turn to scoff a laugh: “They are members of the elder council as well, what makes you think they will help you?”
“That may not be so,” snarling sarcastically, Muzhen shifts her gaze over to Ho Cui Cui, “this lady Miss Ho, she’s Huan Yin’s savior and benefactor. Right now the chief and madam is especially fond of her existence and even the second young lord is showing exceptional interest in the lady. As long as she gives the word then the elders will follow.”
Showing surprise in his face, Zhongnan immediately turns to the former chubby girl and frowned. So the one in the rumors are her?
