Wu Gui was greatly alarmed, his hands continuously drawing circles in front of his chest. Countless rings instantly overlapped before him, their light shimmering, a dazzling array of colors.
The Sinless Spear struck the rings as expected, without any pause, shattering them with a thunderous impact. The light energy fragmented, and layers of mist diffused.
The Sinless Spear emitted clear, crisp cries, like the dragon's roar of a flood dragon emerging from the sea, shaking the very soul.
Wu Gui felt a tearing pain. The Sinless Spear hurtled towards him, piercing his chest. Its immense propulsive force undiminished, it carried his body hundreds of feet away before embedding itself into a large tree in the distance.
The tree snapped in response, and Wu Gui's body instantly turned to ash.
At this moment, An Sai and Hao Xin Tong simultaneously lunged towards Chang Yu Ning, who had just fallen to the ground.
Chang Yu Ning was about to get up when she saw two streaks of light attacking her. Their swift approach and fierce power made her feel, from afar, that she could not dodge!
Two Saint Orders attacking a single Golden Immortal was simply a massacre.
Mo Qi felt a fluctuation of spiritual energy from the side and saw An Sai and Hao Xin Tong attacking Chang Yu Ning with his peripheral vision.
Judging by the ferocity and decisiveness of their attacks, they were both going for the kill, aiming to see her dead and giving her no chance or room to maneuver.
How ruthless!
Mo Qi cursed inwardly and beckoned. The distant Sinless Spear circled back and returned with extreme speed.
Simultaneously, he also flickered forward, teleporting to Chang Yu Ning's front.
His palms shot out in haste, "Thirty Million Small Worlds!"
Countless small spaces expanded in the air like balloons!
However, the event was sudden and unprepared. The spaces were shattered before they could fully inflate.
An Sai and Hao Xin Tong, one on the left and one on the right, each struck the small spaces with their divine abilities, shattering them. As the light energy dispersed like dust, their palms met Mo Qi's in a clash.
With a boom, the figures separated. An Sai, Hao Xin Tong, and Mo Qi were sent flying backward in three different directions, crashing to the ground.
As Mo Qi was thrown back, he twisted his body, flying along the edge of Chang Yu Ning's form. Had he landed on her, he would have severely injured her.
Concurrently, the Sinless Spear returned and suddenly pierced through An Sai's body. An Sai died without even a groan.
The Sinless Spear continued its trajectory towards Hao Xin Tong.
Hao Xin Tong, having sustained lighter injuries, suddenly sprang up, bursting into the air and evading the fatal blow.
The Sinless Spear then plunged fiercely into the ground.
Hao Xin Tong turned back, his gaze sweeping the scene like a torch, as he assessed his next move.
Should he kill Mo Qi or Chang Yu Ning?
At this moment, Mo Qi lay on the ground, appearing to be mortally wounded.
Chang Yu Ning stood not far from him, still regaining her senses.
She was still contemplating whether she was alive or dead.
Mo Qi also noticed his deliberation and hesitation. He immediately flipped over and got up, standing straight, staring at Hao Xin Tong with imposing dignity.
Hao Xin Tong ultimately faltered. He turned and fled, intending to return for reinforcements.
As long as the green hills remain, there will be wood to burn.
Seeing him leave, Mo Qi's body and mind relaxed, and he collapsed onto the ground.
Chang Yu Ning cried out in alarm and rushed over to check on him.
Mo Qi's hands trembled as he retrieved something from his storage bag.
"How are you?" Chang Yu Ning asked with concern.
Mo Qi gasped for breath and said, "I won't die, but the Ni family is indeed difficult to deal with."
Chang Yu Ning crouched down and helped him up, letting him lean against her.
Mo Qi felt the softness and smoothness, smelled the faint fragrance, and became somewhat entranced.
"Why did you save me?" Chang Yu Ning asked, her eyes slightly moist.
"We've already performed the wedding ceremony. You are my wife, so of course, I have to save you," Mo Qi said, finally managing to retrieve a pill and swallow it.
"That... if you wanted to escape on your own, you could have. Why were you so foolish?"
"I'm so tired. I'm going to sleep," Mo Qi said, slowly closing his eyes.
Chang Yu Ning felt his body growing heavier, and her heart sank further. He had died after all!
Chang Yu Ning's gaze became vacant again, staring blankly into the distance.
Chang Xun Huan continued to collect the scattered corpses for burial.
The air once again fell into a deathly silence.
"Do you know?" Chang Yu Ning said softly, tears welling in her eyes, "My whole life, I took pride in my appearance. But when I was poisoned and near death, it felt like a burden. I began to hate my beauty. But until I met you... you were still a beggar then. I was shocked at myself. I, the dignified third young lady of the Chang family, how could I fall in love with a beggar?"
"It wasn't until later that I realized, even disguised as a beggar, you couldn't hide your brilliance."
At this moment, a snore suddenly echoed in the previously tranquil space.
What was going on? Where was that snore coming from?
Chang Yu Ning's heart trembled. Could it be...?
Then, another snore sounded, very continuous and very cheerful.
This time, she was very certain it was Mo Qi's snore.
Hadn't he died?
Chang Yu Ning was overwhelmed with emotion, a mix of tears and laughter.
She wanted to push him to the ground, but she held back.
It was fine for him to sleep.
Chang Xun Huan suddenly looked at her, "He didn't hear what you just said. Otherwise, when he wakes up, you can say it again. Although it's cheesy, I think he'd like to hear it."
"Get lost," Chang Yu Ning snapped.
At this moment, the wind and clouds shifted. The sky became overcast, and dark clouds gathered. Fierce winds, carrying black mist, raged endlessly. The surrounding trees, houses, and mountain hollows all let out mournful sounds, like the wails of evil spirits.
Mo Qi immediately sprang up, floating in mid-air. With a beckon, the Sinless Spear fell into his hand.
Chang Yu Ning was stunned. This fellow's reaction was so strong. Had he heard what she had said just now?
Immediately after, Chang Xun Huan and Chang Yu Ning also looked up, gazing in one direction as if facing a formidable enemy.
At first, they thought Mo Qi was overreacting. Now, they realized that an enemy was indeed approaching.
"There's no need to be so tense," a voice came from the sky. "I am here to protect you."
As the voice faded, a young man appeared in mid-air. He bore some resemblance to Ni Wei, but he was not Ni Wei.
He was Ni Wei's younger brother, Ni Tian Yang.
Chang Yu Ning and Chang Xun Huan only felt he looked familiar but couldn't recall his name. However, they knew he was one of Ni Wei's brothers.
Mo Qi, however, was inwardly alarmed. This person's cultivation was unfathomably deep.
How many such experts did the Ni family have? What kind of existence was the Immortal King Palace?
Ni Tian Yang looked at Chang Yu Ning with an infatuated expression. "You are the only woman I've ever met who makes me lose my appetite."
"You didn't come here just to compliment me, did you?" Chang Yu Ning said coldly.
"Of course not. I said at the beginning that I came to save you. I heard that Father intended to kill you, so I rushed here immediately to help you," Ni Tian Yang said.
