Looking at Rong Zhishui who was being chased by a Divine Dog, Yan Tianhen smirked and hid the Yan flame whip in his hand, which was becoming increasingly thick with purple evil Qi.
Although Rong Zhishui couldn’t succeed at matters but excelled at messing things up, it was also thanks to Rong Zhishui coming in time, which prevented him from embarking on Youshan Lingyu’s old path.
When Rong Zhishui interrupted, Yan Tianhen lost his advantage.
The most important thing about fighting was the atmosphere. If the atmosphere was gone, you would always feel that there was something missing in the fight. Even if you won, you wouldn’t feel happy.
This was how Yan Tianhen felt right now.
After Rong Zhishui joined in the fray, Yan Tianhen waved his whip, only dodging and never attacking.
The Divine Dog had Yin attributes. It was said that it could swallow the moon. It wasn’t small; it was as big as an adult white tiger. It had a pair of barbed tongues sticking out. Its wolf-like eyes glared at the enemy fiercely. Its whole body exuded the fierce atmosphere that was unique to ancient demonic beasts.
Ancient demonic beasts were good at fighting. Any one of them could destroy the existence of a city by itself.
Yan Tianhen and Rong Zhishui stood back to back on the rooftop.
Around them were Rong Tianxian and sixteen secret guards in the same clothes. They formed a formation, which made it difficult for the two to escape.
Yan Tianhen swallowed his saliva with difficulty and said, “I don’t think we can run away.”
Rong Zhishui replied, “Even if we can’t run, we must still run.”
“Did he come after you or me?” Yan Tianhen asked.
Rong Zhishui answered, “The Rong family has clan rules, and those who break into ancestral temples will be killed without fail.”
Yan Tianhen said, “I didn’t enter your ancestral temple.”
Rong Zhishui coughed softly. “Those who watch the crime are guilty of the same crime.”
“Fuck your ancestor, you must’ve known this when you asked me.”
With a sneer, Rong Tianxian flicked the whip in his hand and glared at Rong Zhishui and Yan Tianhen narrowly. “You two are really bold. You even dared to steal something behind the memorial tablet of our ancestor. Even if I kill you here today, no one will pursue this matter with me. Rong Zhishui, I intended to let you go, but unexpectedly, you just threw yourself into the net, landing into my hand. And now, you can’t escape.”
Yan Tianhen cleared his throat. “Rong Tianxian, let’s have a civilized conversation.”
Rong Zhishui’s eyes suddenly widened and he immediately pulled Yan Tianhen’s sleeve. He couldn’t bear to look straight at him.
Yan Tianhen asked him, “Hmm? What are you pulling me for?”
But Rong Tianxian’s expression darkened at the speed visible to the naked eye. He gritted his upper and lower teeth, which made a faint grinding sound.
“What. Did. You. Call. Me?” Rong Tianxian clenched his fist and suddenly threw a punch at Yan Tianhen.
The punch came with the momentum of pushing mountains and collapsing seas. Yan Tianhen cursed Rong Zhishui in his heart as his whole body flew away with the powerful strength.
He hadn’t forgotten to pull Rong Zhishui away together with the Yin flame whip.
A whole tile house was cracked by this fist. Bricks and tiles were scattered everywhere.
Yan Tianhen suddenly felt like he’d been tricked. He pulled Rong Zhishui and ran away. He yelled, “Rong Zhishui, you bastard. Didn’t you say he’s called Rong Tianxian?”
Rong Zhishui also used his Qi and ran wildly. “Rong Tianxian is the nickname I gave him. He hates people calling him this the most. His real name is Rong Xia!”
Yan Tianhen, “…”
Hehe, hehehehe…
Fuck your uncle!
The Divine Dog took the lead with four legs sprinting fast as if he were flying on the roof of the house. After a few jumps, just as Yan Tianhen and Rong Zhishui were about to run to the edge of the town, the dog suddenly jumped and flew over their heads. He turned around and blocked their way.
Yan Tianhen skidded to a halt, almost throwing Rong Zishui forward.
Several sword strikes shot out behind them. Yan Tianhen suddenly turned around and waved the Yin flame whip, powerful Qi blocking out all of the sword moves.
Rong Zhishui’s eyes were wide open. “So powerful!”
Yan Tianhen said, “Shut up!”
Rong Xia’s original attention was almost exclusively on Rong Zhishui. The person he was going to kill was just Rong Zhishui, but Yan Tianhen was always obstructing him, and his cultivation could not be underestimated.
Rong Xia’s gloomy sight fell on Yan Tianhen and said, “Meng Mei, kill him for me.”
The dog, Meng Mei, suddenly became huge. He was as high as a house. His fangs were bared, and eyes green. A thick tail pricked up, and the hair on its back stood up. He lowered his body and roared at Yan Tianhen. The fishy breath sprayed on Yan Tianhen’s face, which almost made him stumble.
“Ah Hen, be careful!”
The clouds in the night sky suddenly gathered and dispersed. The wind blew fiercely, killing intent thick in the air.
A thick bolt of lightning struck down toward Yan Tianhen’s head. Bolts of lightning struck in all directions, blocking all his escape routes.
Yan Tianhen was also shocked by this attack power. Even when he was Youshan Lingyu, he seldom met such a powerful monster.
But now was not the time to be in a daze. Yan Tianhen took out a shield hidden in his storage ring, and an inverted bowl-shaped shield enveloped him, blocking out all those attacks.
“Roar, roar!”
When the dog saw that his blows were missing, he flew into a rage. He bared his claws and reached for Yan Tianhen’s chest.
Yan Tianhen’s Yin flame whip turned into a pike. Yan Tianhen rolled over and stepped on the dog who rushed toward him with his head down. The pike thrust hard at the dog’s neck.
However, he forgot that ancient demonic beasts were like deities. This Divine Dog had lived for many years, and his flesh was too hard to stab. In addition, Yan Tianhen was holding back as he didn’t dare expose his true cultivation easily. How could he kill him in one shot?
Instead of being killed, he cut a wound on the dog’s neck, which completely angered the beast! “Roar!”
Several lightning bolts suddenly struck down. When those secret guards saw that the situation was not right, they set up an array for another killing move. It turned out to be an array that allowed people to launch attacks equivalent to the Grandmaster Stage in terms of power.
Rong Zhishui’s pupils suddenly shrank. He ran towards Yan Tianhen with all his strength. “Run! It’s the Life Redemption Gate. Run!”
Rong Xia cruelly raised his lips.
There was no need for him to do anything to kill Rong Zhishui, who was always a hindrance in his eyes. It was all thanks to Rong Zhishui bringing himself to death’s doors.
Although there was the word “life” in Life Redemption Gate, the trapped person would surely die.
Tens of thousands of willow branches and pine needles turned into sharp blades. They rose to the air and surged forward to kill the two besieged people in the array with a speed beyond the naked eye.
Yan Tianhen clenched his fist. He was about to raise his hand and use evil Qi to reflect these killing moves back to the attacker. However, a distant and ethereal music sounded, suddenly slowing down the speed of the blades. Then a teal light almost cut through the sky as a sword broke through the array.
“Who are you?“ Rong Xia drew out his willow whip. He saw that the sixteen Rong family’s secret guards were spitting out blood. They fell to the ground after suffering a backlash. The Divine Dog was also seriously injured, shrieking and turning back into his original size, hiding behind Rong Xia. He saw two people descending from the sky as if they were stepping on the moon– one held a sword, while the other had a zither.
“Myriad Dao Academy’s Lin Huarong.”
It was like an immortal descending from Heaven, his long hair swaying in the breeze.
The sky was high and wide. Waves of clouds rolling in as if welcoming . The immortals that had come from afar in an unexpected time.
Yan Tianhen’s eyes were hot. He felt his heart beating like a drum. He was so excited that he couldn’t help himself. Timely aid was just like that.
Lin Xuanzhi held his sword, Zhige, which was already unsheathed. He looked as cold as frost. He landed in front of Yan Tianhen, blocking his whole body behind him. The one who followed was Wan Miantang, holding a zither.
Wan Miantang curled his lips and smiled. “Using your superior numbers and cultivation to bully others. Since when did the Rong family fall so low?”
When Rong Xia heard the name Lin Huarong, he was already horrified. When he saw Wan Miantang holding the zither, he immediately stepped back half a step.
“Why are you here?” Rong Xia looked warily at the two people whom he could not afford to offend. “The clean-up of our Rong family should have nothing to do with Myriad Dao Academy. You two…do you want to interfere with the Rong family’s affairs?”
Wan Miantang plucked a string, and the dog, who was not very well-behaved, immediately fell to the ground.
“I don’t care about your Rong family’s affairs, but as I have been entrusted by others to handle a matter. Sword Master Tianshu has always been friendly with me. He asked me to protect Rong Zhishui’s life. So naturally, I couldn’t refuse.” Wan Miantang glanced at Rong Zhishui lying on the ground and said, “You still won’t get up?”
Rong Zhishui hurriedly got up.
He didn’t even dare to shout the word “Dean” for fear of exposing the fact that he hid his identity to enter Myriad Dao Academy. However, since Wan Miantang had mentioned Rong Chaoxi’s name as an excuse, he probably didn’t intend to expose Rong Zhishui’s disguise.
He could deceive everyone today, but he wouldn’t be able to hide it tomorrow. It was just a matter of time before his identity became public.
Rong Zhishui had many wounds on his body, but he didn’t feel any pain at this time. After all, these wounds were nothing in the face of life and death.
When Rong Xia heard this, his face turned dark and he gritted his teeth. “Dean Wan, Rong Chaoxi is someone our Rong family put a bounty on. He and our family’s grudges haven’t even been settled yet, so it’s unreasonable to meddle in other people’s affairs. Besides, Dean Wan, as Myriad Dao Academy’s dean, you shouldn’t be intervening in worldly affairs, especially from the Divine Clans. I’m afraid it would damage the reputation of the sect!”
Wan Miantang said with a smile, “No need to say more. I’ll take the person away. If the Rong family refuses to accept it, then by all means, come and find me in Myriad Dao Academy.” After that, Wan Miantang pulled up Rong Zhishui, then held his zither and left. He made it clear that he was unwilling to waste more words with Rong Xia.
Rong Xia was livid but he could do nothing. All the secret guards he brought with him were seriously injured now. They were not Wan Miantang’s opponents at all.
“Huarong Sword Immortal.” Rong Xia clenched his teeth and pointed his finger at Lin Xuanzhi. “This person is not a member of our Rong family, but he has stolen the relics left by our Rong family’s ancestors. Does Huarong Sword Immortal want to cover up this great transgression?”
Pa!
Across the air, a slap landed on Rong Xia’s face and he directly flew ten meters away.
Rong Xia held his swollen cheek with disbelief and looked at a man in white who was motionless, resembling both an immortal and a ghost. He was speechless.
”This person belongs to this Venerable.” Lin Xuanzhi’s voice was mixed with endless ice and snow, as if to freeze the killer in front of him, and then throw him into a cold abyss. “You shouldn’t have tried to kill him.”
