Feng Moran wanted to release his nascent soul and escape, but entangled by the Nine Nether Mysterious Fire, how could he escape? Xiao Man was determined to kill him, leaving him no hope of survival!
“I am your master!” Feng Moran reached out to Xiao Man, “I never thought of killing you!”
Xiao Man reached out and grasped Feng Moran’s hand, “But I have always wanted to kill you.”
Fear gripped Feng Moran’s heart, making him unable to breathe, his body stiff and immobile. He didn’t know if it was the cold that made him unable to move, or the fear emanating from his soul that rendered him speechless.
“Master, fare thee well.”
Feng Moran’s nascent soul escaped at this moment but crashed into a transparent barrier. Feng Moran’s nascent soul desperately tried to flee, but after separating from the body, its cultivation was greatly reduced, and it could not break through the barrier.
Xiao Man grabbed Feng Moran’s nascent soul, “Master, this is what you taught me. To prevent you from escaping, I secretly set up a barrier when I captured you. Today, you must die!”
“Help, help!” Feng Moran’s nascent soul struggled desperately, emitting a piercing shriek. Xiao Man’s expression turned cold, and she crushed the fragile nascent soul, yet a beam of light shot into the sky.
“Go quickly!” Lu Qing’s face changed, and he immediately told Xiao Man to leave.
“What is this?”
“A distress signal. This person sent a distress signal before dying.” Lu Qing pushed Xiao Man, “Go quickly.”
Several powerful auras rapidly approached the East Yue Forest. The barrier that had previously enveloped the East Yue Forest also shattered due to Feng Moran’s death. Xiao Man felt the powerful auras, exchanged a look with Nangong Yu, and immediately headed in another direction.
“Great Uncle, let’s split up.”
Lu Qing gritted his teeth and went in another direction. If they went together, they might be caught in one sweep. He hoped those people would chase him, thus increasing Xiao Man’s chances of escape.
The powerful cultivators who rushed over upon receiving the distress signal only paused for a moment before four of them unhesitatingly pursued in Xiao Man’s direction, showing no intention of chasing Lu Qing.
“They’re coming towards us.” Nangong Yu’s expression slightly changed, and he immediately stopped, “I’ll hold them off, you go first!”
“Don’t be foolish. Four Golden Core stage cultivators, we are no match for them!” Xiao Man dragged Nangong Yu towards the Extreme North Swamp. Perhaps there was a way to survive there.
“Man’er, one less is one less.”
“If anyone is going, it’s you. Their target is me,” Xiao Man said calmly. “Feng Moran must have set a trap for me before he died, which is why those four are chasing me without hesitation. Let’s split up.”
“Don’t mess around!” Nangong Yu unhesitatingly caught up with Xiao Man, “If their target is you, and you are only at the late Foundation Establishment stage, facing four Golden Core stage cultivators alone is no different from seeking death.”
“I won’t die!”
“Then I won’t allow you to face danger alone.” Nangong Yu held Xiao Man’s hand, “When I discovered you were not by my side, I was terrified. I was afraid something would happen to you, afraid I would never see you again. Now that I’ve finally found you, you want to leave me and venture out alone!” Su Dan Novel Network
Xiao Man was slightly stunned but did not stop. She quickened her pace towards the Extreme North Swamp.
“Going to the Extreme North Swamp, perhaps there is a way to survive.”
“It’s too late!” Nangong Yu grabbed Xiao Man and threw her back, narrowly dodging an attack. As Xiao Man landed, another attack came. Xiao Man immediately summoned her defensive shield, blocking the blow, and then swiftly counter-attacked towards one of them. That person seemed surprised that a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator would dare to charge forward.
“Overestimating your abilities!”
A cold light flashed in Xiao Man’s eyes. A gleam of light flashed, and the person immediately closed their eyes. In the instant they closed their eyes, Xiao Man was in front of them, her dagger piercing towards their dantian. However, the stab missed, and the opponent grabbed the dagger.
“Petty tricks!”
Xiao Man’s expression changed. She performed a backflip and kicked towards the opponent, using the force of the kick to return to Nangong Yu’s side. In a moment, they were surrounded.
“Are these the two who killed Elder Feng?” The leader stepped forward, his suspicious gaze scrutinizing Xiao Man from head to toe, then shifting to Nangong Yu, his expression becoming even more bewildered, “Just the two of you?”
“What about the two of us?” Xiao Man asked in confusion, “Who are you people, and why are you chasing us?”
“Big brother, she does have Elder Feng’s mark on her.”
“She probably didn’t kill him. She doesn’t have the ability. She must be Elder Feng’s target,” the leader said, “Capture them alive and take them back.”
“What about the other one?”
“Kill him.”
“How rude! For no reason, you want to kill people. Aren’t you too presumptuous?”
“Presumptuous?” The leader chuckled. “In the East Yue Forest, losing one or two lives is like pulling out an insignificant wild grass. No one will care, let alone, in our eyes, you are not even as good as ants!”
“Not even as good as ants?” Xiao Man asked softly, “A’Yu, so, we are also ants.”
Nangong Yu sneered, “How many years has it been since someone called us ants?”
“Yes, how many years has it been since someone called us ants?” Xiao Man chimed in, “If others treat me as an ant, I will shake the tree for them!”
The two attacked simultaneously, targeting the same person. The other three sneered, seeing this. Ants shaking a tree, with just these two, do they think they can deal with a late Golden Core stage cultivator? Utterly overestimating themselves!
However, before their smiles could fully bloom, they froze. The two of them, working together, had actually succeeded in one strike, killing one of their companions on the spot. This caused them a moment of stunned disbelief. In that instant, the two attacked again, their coordination remarkably tacit.
“Quick, dodge!”
“Ah!” Another person let out a scream, clutching their severed arm, their face contorted in extreme pain. They never expected that a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator and a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, working together, could kill one and severely wound a late-stage Golden Core cultivator!
“Take them down, dead or alive!”
Xiao Man sneered, “A’Yu, you deal with two, I’ll deal with one, can you do it?”
“A’Man, you don’t ask a man if he can do it.” Nangong Yu teased, “Dealing with two ants is a piece of cake. Once I’ve dealt with them, I’ll have a good chat with you.”
Xiao Man smiled brilliantly, “Exactly, I have a lot to say to you too. Let’s take care of them first!”
“What an arrogant tone!” The leader charged towards Xiao Man. Xiao Man bore Feng Moran’s mark, and what Feng Moran was looking for was very important. This person must be taken back alive.
