Su Lie did not expect to meet the Hundred Flowers Fairy here, and even Yan Nantian was with him now.
Since that was the case, he stopped pretending and moved to attack!
*Boom!*
In an instant, the Spiritual Qi within Su Lie’s body swept out.
The intense pressure far exceeded that of the Cave-Heaven Realm.
This power belonged to the Creation Realm!
An Ruojun’s expression grew grave.
A powerhouse of the Creation Realm…
“Sister, focus on dealing with the City Lord. I will stall the other one.”
An Ruoxi sensed Yan Nantian’s strength.
Although his cultivation was much higher than it had been during the day, he was still only in the Cave-Heaven Realm.
Despite being uneasy about her sister fighting alone, there was no other choice.
An Ruojun said solemnly, “Ruoxi, be careful!”
Even though An Ruojun only had the strength of the Cave-Heaven Realm, she was not the Eldest Senior Sister of the Yuling Sect for nothing.
Furthermore, Su Lie was only at the early stage of the Creation Realm; she was 80% certain she could defeat him.
However, it would be disastrous if her sister could not hold out until she defeated the City Lord.
An Ruojun knew that because of the Great Dao Wound, her sister’s cultivation had been stagnant for a long time.
Yet even if her cultivation was stagnant, An Ruoxi was no ordinary Cave-Heaven Realm cultivator.
Her ranking on the Prodigy List was not just for show.
*Bang!*
In an instant, An Ruojun and Su Lie exchanged blows.
Yan Nantian’s eyes were fixed on Mo Huaiyu and An Ruoxi.
However, his gaze remained mostly on the Hundred Flowers Fairy.
As for the youth beside her, he was just a brat in the Dao Platform Realm who couldn’t cause any significant trouble.
“As I thought, there has been something wrong with the City Lord’s Mansion for a while,” Mo Huaiyu said. Even before arriving, he had sensed that something was amiss.
Generally, when facing a target he had set his sights on, Yan Nantian would not say much.
He would resolve the matter quickly to avoid complications.
But now, for some reason, he felt a sudden urge to speak.
“Oh? Your intuition is good. Unfortunately, your strength is lacking.
Tonight, all of you will stay here.
Although I don’t know why you appeared here, your companions are probably sleeping soundly right now.
After all, the effects of the Illusory Cloud Incense are quite potent.
By the way, my only goal is the Hundred Flowers Fairy.
If you know what’s good for you, kid, get lost.”
For some reason, Yan Nantian blurted everything out in one go.
As Mo Huaiyu heard the man reveal the entire plan, a thought crossed his mind.
‘Is this the so-called “villains die because they talk too much” trope?’
“What!?”
Yan Nantian was instantly stunned.
‘What is wrong with me?’ he wondered.
“Fine, as expected of the Hundred Flowers Fairy. I didn’t even notice you using an Induction Formation to make me spill everything.”
Facing the rambling Yan Nantian, An Ruoxi said coldly, “You talk too much.”
An Ruoxi stepped forward, shielding Mo Huaiyu behind her.
“Junior Brother Mo, hide first. I will deal with him.”
After saying that, she gripped her hand, and the Ice Crystal Sword appeared.
She lashed out with a single strike, causing ripples to dance through the void.
“What a sword intent!”
Yan Nantian’s eyes narrowed before he chuckled.
“Too bad it’s useless against me.”
Yan Nantian easily broke the sword intent.
An Ruoxi was not surprised; she quickly circulated the Spiritual Qi in her body.
As her jade-like hands waved, peach trees erupted from the ground one after another.
Peach blossoms fluttered through the air, each petal like a lethal weapon.
At the same time, a frigid aura radiated from her delicate body.
The temperature plummeted, and frost even began to form on the ground.
“Dual Spirit Roots!”
Yan Nantian was first stunned, then overcome with wild joy.
“Peach Blossom Flying Snow,” she said coldly, her red lips parting slightly.
As An Ruoxi spoke, the Spiritual Qi in her body was rapidly consumed.
The spiritual patterns on the fluttering peach blossoms shifted abruptly, emitting waves of cold air.
Not only that, but icy mist began to rise from the peach trees, and tiny ice crystals danced in the air.
Faced with An Ruoxi’s attack, Yan Nantian acted as if he were facing a great enemy.
He tried to dodge, but the peach blossoms pursued him relentlessly.
“Damn it!”
Yan Nantian’s path shifted instantly as he charged toward An Ruoxi.
An Ruoxi remained calm.
She tightened her grip on the Ice Crystal Sword, moved with elegant steps, and slashed.
Yan Nantian brought out a Dharma treasure to block the strike, but before he could counterattack, the peach blossoms had already arrived.
*Boom!*
Spiritual Qi exploded, turning into a storm that swept outward.
At such a close range, and because An Ruoxi had not held back, she was caught in the aftershock.
Her delicate body was blown back by the storm of Spiritual Qi, and she stumbled several steps before finally stopping as she crashed into Mo Huaiyu’s arms.
“Sister Ruoxi, are you okay?”
Mo Huaiyu asked with a face full of concern.
“It’s nothing.”
It was just the aftermath of a simple explosion, which was not a problem for An Ruoxi.
However, just as she prepared to strike again, the Great Dao Wound that had been suppressed actually flared up again.
“Ugh!”
An Ruoxi groaned, her face turning pale in an instant.
“Sister Ruoxi!?”
An Ruoxi’s aura was now extremely withered, and her originally vivid red lips had turned pale.
Right then, Yan Nantian attacked again.
Mo Huaiyu did not know what was wrong with his sister.
She had been fine a moment ago, but her aura had plummeted in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the beautiful face twisted in pain in his arms, he decided that no matter what, he would not let her get hurt!
Facing Yan Nantian’s attack, Mo Huaiyu held An Ruoxi tightly and quickly dodged.
*Boom!*
A large hole exploded in the spot where Mo Huaiyu had just been standing.
“Heh! Kid, nice movement technique. You actually managed to dodge my strike.”
Yan Nantian stared at Mo Huaiyu with cold eyes.
At this moment, he was in a wretched state.
Not only were his clothes in tatters, but his entire body was covered in wounds, and white bone was even visible in some places.
An Ruoxi’s previous attack had nearly killed him.
An Ruoxi sensed that the enemy had locked onto Mo Huaiyu.
She wanted to stand up and continue fighting, but Mo Huaiyu said, “Sister Ruoxi, you’re injured. Just leave him to me.”
Having said that, he stood before An Ruoxi without hesitation.
The youth’s tone left the cold, older sister somewhat stunned.
By the time she recovered, he was already standing as a shield in front of her.
Mo Huaiyu showed no fear.
Instead, facing Yan Nantian of the Cave-Heaven Realm, he even took the initiative to beckon him with a finger.
His tone was somewhat contemptuous as he said, “You, come here!”
At the same time, he activated the protective treasure Sister Yuyun had given him.
He definitely couldn’t win in a direct fight, but stalling for time was absolutely no problem.
“Good kid, you’re arrogant enough. Today, let me see if you have the strength to back it up!”
Yan Nantian laughed coldly.
“I’m not sure if I have the strength, but as for you, I’m certain you won’t live past three chapters.”
Villains generally did not survive past three chapters—especially a villain like this who wasn’t even the final boss.
With fewer scenes, he might even be finished in one.
The youth’s deliberate provocation successfully drew all of Yan Nantian’s fire.
As the Pavilion Master of the Spring Water Pavilion, he should have been level-headed, but for some reason, he was currently infuriated!
It was as if he were being guided by something.
The Hundred Flowers Fairy was no longer important.
Rage made it so that only the youth’s silhouette remained in his eyes.
