Nangong Qianliu’s movements naturally caught Xiao Yufan’s attention, yet he made no move himself, for Huanpu Xian’er had already taken action…
Nangong Qianliu’s movements naturally caught Xiao Yufan’s attention, but he remained motionless because Huangpu Xian’er had already taken action…
Although Xiao Yufan admitted that Nangong Qianliu was extremely detestable, his talent was undeniable. This man, slightly younger than himself, had already reached the mid-stage of the Condensed Force Realm. In the secular world, few could match him.
Yet, Xiao Yufan still didn’t stop his woman from acting. Though he couldn’t fully gauge Xian’er’s strength, he knew she was certainly not weak.
It could be said that Nangong Qianliu struck out in anger, holding nothing back. If this blow landed, even a Condensed Qi Realm expert would likely suffer severe injuries. Seeing Huangpu Xian’er step forward, a cold smile crept onto his lips.
He wasn’t like that useless person from the Luan family. The Condensed Force Realm was incomparably stronger than the Condensed Qi Realm, the gap as vast as a chasm…
The members of the Dark Sect were also wide-eyed. Such a direct clash would surely injure the beautiful woman accompanying their young master. But if he knew the outcome, shouldn’t the young master have intervened?
“It seems our husband has quite some confidence in this sister’s strength. However, this man has already reached the Condensed Force Realm. I hope nothing goes wrong!”
Dongfang Yanran, seeing Xiao Yufan’s calm expression, pouted slightly. She had already realized that this stunning beauty was likely another sister. Their lustful husband seemed to leave a trail of romantic entanglements wherever he went.
“Even if Sister Yanran doesn’t trust this beautiful sister, surely you trust our husband. Do you think he would let a beauty get hurt? Perhaps he’s preparing for a heroic rescue…”
With a soft laugh, Tian Xuan’s tightly closed heart slowly opened as Xiao Yufan returned unharmed. This smile was something Dongfang Yanran hadn’t seen in a long time. For her, it was the same; today, she had laughed more than in the past half month combined.
“Was Sister Tian Xuan also won over like this?”
Dongfang Yanran joined in the laughter. Since Xiao Yufan wasn’t worried, they naturally trusted him. From beginning to end, their man had never let them down.
“Why are you suddenly bringing me into this!” Tian Xuan’s face flushed slightly, her pout making her look even more adorable, causing Tian Yi and others to admire Xiao Yufan even more. Only their young master could handle such exceptional women.
At that moment, Huangpu Xian’er and Nangong Qianliu collided. To everyone’s astonishment, Nangong Qianliu was forced back dozens of steps…
Crack!
The dramatic scene nearly made everyone’s jaws drop. Even Xiao Yufan narrowed his eyes in surprise, realizing he had underestimated this girl’s strength.
A single clash forcing a Condensed Force Realm expert back dozens of steps could only mean Huangpu Xian’er’s strength far surpassed Nangong Qianliu’s. She might have reached the peak of the Condensed Force Realm or even stepped into the Condensed Power Realm. Such talent was truly monstrous.
“Cough!” Barely stopping his retreat, Nangong Qianliu felt a warm surge in his throat, nearly spitting out blood…
While others might not sense Huangpu Xian’er’s strength, he certainly could. Her internal energy was incredibly dense, making it impossible for him to resist. This gap made him frown deeply.
He wasn’t a fool; in fact, he was quite intelligent. Not only did Xiao Yufan possess a strong internal energy, but this beautiful woman alone was beyond his ability to contend with.
At this moment, he began to consider retreating. As long as he lived, there would always be opportunities. His relationship with the Luan family was merely one of convenience. If he lost them, he could always find another place. But losing his life would be too great a cost.
“I thought you were strong, but it seems you’re just average!”
With a disdainful smile, Xiao Yufan sneered. If he had acted earlier, Nangong Qianliu wouldn’t be standing to speak with him. But even if he could win, it wouldn’t be as effortlessly as Xian’er.
“Hmph, do you only hide behind women?”
“Do you want to fight me? If so, I can oblige.”
Xiao Yufan showed little emotion toward the man’s resentment, but he had no intention of letting him go. Since he dared to harm his brother, Xiao Yufan would sever this man’s arms!
“If you and this beauty attack together, I stand no chance…”
Nangong Qianliu’s face darkened. He could feel Xiao Yufan’s killing intent, sending a chill down his spine. His words were merely a ploy to prevent both from attacking simultaneously, leaving him no chance to escape.
“To kill you, I don’t even need my woman’s help, let alone just defeating you!”
Xiao Yufan’s smile radiated confidence. Even if Nangong Qianliu was strong, in his eyes, he was nothing more than that…
Nangong Qianliu’s face twitched. He was almost certain now that this man truly intended to kill him. Indeed, he had harmed someone from the Dark Sect, and as their young master, Xiao Yufan naturally sought retribution. But that didn’t mean he was afraid.
In his view, even if he couldn’t defeat Xiao Yufan, he still had a chance to escape. As long as he could leave, he would eventually find a way to reclaim his dignity…
“Tian Yi, which hand did he injure you with?”
Xiao Yufan turned to look at the visibly weakened Tian Yi, a cold glint in his eyes. Tian Yi had been with him the longest. Though he always addressed him as “young master,” in Xiao Yufan’s eyes, Tian Yi was also his brother.
“Right hand!” Tian Yi hesitated before answering. He trusted the young master’s strength, but he felt ashamed for being unable to help at this moment…
“Rest for now. His right hand, I’ll take it for you.”
Xiao Yufan’s voice was calm, but to the Luan family, it was like a thunderclap. If anything happened to Nangong Qianliu, their family would be finished. Even if Xiao Yufan spared them, that place wouldn’t.
Nangong Qianliu also shuddered. At this moment, he felt an icy aura enveloping Xiao Yufan, a pressure that made him feel suffocated…
Still, Xiao Yufan made no attempt to stop his woman from fighting. Though he couldn’t fully grasp Xian’er’s strength, he knew well enough that her power was naturally formidable.
Nangong Qianliu’s movements naturally caught Xiao Yufan’s attention, but he still didn’t make any move because Huangpu Xian’er had already taken action…
Although Xiao Yufan admitted that Nangong Qianliu was extremely detestable, his talent was undeniable. This man, younger than himself, had already reached the mid-stage of the Condensed Force Realm. In the secular world, there were truly few who could match him.
Yet, Xiao Yufan still didn’t stop his woman from acting. Although he couldn’t see through Xian’er’s strength, he knew that his woman’s power was certainly not weak.
It could be said that Nangong Qianliu struck out in anger, naturally holding nothing back. If this blow landed, even a strong practitioner at the Condensed Qi Realm would likely suffer severe injuries. Watching Huangpu Xian’er step forward, a cold smile crept onto his lips.
He wasn’t like that useless person from the Luan family. The Condensed Force Realm was incomparably stronger than the Condensed Qi Realm, and the gap between them was like a vast chasm…
The members of the Dark Sect were also wide-eyed. Such a direct clash would surely injure the beautiful woman by the young master’s side. But if he knew this outcome, shouldn’t the young master have intervened?
“It seems our husband has quite a bit of confidence in this sister’s strength. However, this man’s power is already at the Condensed Force Realm. I hope nothing goes wrong!”
Dongfang Yanran, looking at Xiao Yufan’s calm expression, pouted slightly. She had already figured out that this stunning beauty was likely another sister of theirs. This lecherous husband of theirs seemed to leave a trail of romantic debts wherever he went.
“Even if Sister Yanran doesn’t trust this beautiful sister, surely you trust our husband, right? Do you think our husband would let a beauty get hurt? Perhaps he’s preparing to play the hero and save the damsel…”
With a giggle, as Xiao Yufan returned unscathed, Tianxuan’s tightly closed heart slowly opened. Such a smile was something Dongfang Yanran hadn’t seen in a long time, and for her, it was no different. Today, the number of times she had smiled already surpassed the total of the past half month.
“Could it be that Tianxuan was won over in the same way…”
Dongfang Yanran also laughed along. Since Xiao Yufan wasn’t worried, they naturally trusted this man, because from beginning to end, their man had never let them down.
“Why are you suddenly bringing me into this!” Tianxuan’s face turned slightly red, her lips pouting in a charming manner that was utterly endearing, making Tianyi and the others admire Xiao Yufan even more. Only the young master could handle such exceptional women.
At that moment, Huangpu Xian’er and Nangong Qianliu collided, and amidst the stunned expressions of many, Nangong Qianliu was actually forced back dozens of steps…
Gasp!
The dramatic scene nearly made everyone’s jaws drop, and even Xiao Yufan narrowed his eyes in surprise. He realized that his assessment of this girl’s strength might have been a bit off.
A single clash forcing a Condensed Force Realm practitioner back dozens of steps could only mean that Huangpu Xian’er’s strength far surpassed Nangong Qianliu’s. She was either at the peak of the Condensed Force Realm or had already stepped into the Condensed Power Realm. Such talent was simply monstrous.
“Cough!” Barely stopping his retreat, Nangong Qianliu felt a warm surge in his throat, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood…
Others might not sense Huangpu Xian’er’s strength, but how could he not? Her internal energy was incredibly robust, making it impossible for him to resist even slightly. This gap made him frown deeply.
He wasn’t a fool; on the contrary, he was very intelligent. Not only did Xiao Yufan also possess a strong internal energy fluctuation, but this beautiful woman alone was beyond his ability to contend with.
At this moment, he began to entertain thoughts of retreat. As long as he preserved his life, there would always be opportunities. After all, his relationship with the Luan family was merely one of convenience. If he lost the Luan family, he could always find another place. But losing his life would be a different story.
“I thought you were stronger, but it seems you’re just so-so!”
With a disdainful smile, Xiao Yufan sneered. If he had been the one to strike, Nangong Qianliu wouldn’t have had the chance to stand and speak to him. But even if he could defeat him, it wouldn’t have been as effortless as Xian’er made it seem.
“Hmph, do you only know how to hide behind a woman?”
“Do you want to fight me? If so, I can oblige!”
Xiao Yufan didn’t have much emotion regarding this man’s resentment, but he had no intention of letting him go. Since he dared to harm his brother, he would dare to sever this man’s arms!
“If you and this beauty attack together, I stand no chance of winning…”
Nangong Qianliu’s face was exceptionally grim. He could sense Xiao Yufan’s killing intent, which sent a chill down his spine. In truth, he said this only because he feared they might attack simultaneously, leaving him no chance to escape.
“To kill you, I don’t even need my woman to act, let alone just defeat you!”
Xiao Yufan’s smile was brimming with confidence. Even if Nangong Qianliu’s strength wasn’t weak, in his eyes, it was nothing special…
Nangong Qianliu’s lips twitched violently. He was almost certain that this man truly intended to kill him. Indeed, he had harmed someone from the Dark Sect, and as the young master of the Dark Sect, it was only natural to seek retribution. But that didn’t mean he was afraid.
In his view, even if he couldn’t defeat Xiao Yufan, he still had a chance to escape. As long as he could leave, he would eventually find a way to regain his honor…
“Tianyi, which hand did he injure you with?”
Xiao Yufan turned his head, glancing at the somewhat weakened Tianyi, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. Tianyi had been with him the longest. Although he always addressed him as “young master,” in Xiao Yufan’s eyes, Tianyi was also his brother.
“Right hand!” Tianyi hesitated for a moment before speaking. He believed in the young master’s strength, but the only thing he felt ashamed of was being unable to help at this moment…
“Rest for now. I’ll take his right hand for you.”
Xiao Yufan’s voice was calm, but to the ears of the Luan family, it was like a thunderclap. If anything happened to Nangong Qianliu, their Luan family would truly be finished. Even if Xiao Yufan spared the Luan family, that place wouldn’t let them off.
Nangong Qianliu also shuddered. At this moment, he felt an icy aura enveloping Xiao Yufan, a pressure that made him feel suffocated…
Nangong Qianliu’s movements naturally caught Xiao Yufan’s attention, yet he remained motionless, for at this moment, Huangpu Xian’er had already sprung into action…
Although Xiao Yufan admitted that this Nangong Qianliu was quite detestable, his talent was undeniable. This man, younger than himself, had already reached the mid-stage of the Condensed Force Realm. In the secular world, few could match him.
Yet, Xiao Yufan still did not stop his woman from acting. Though he couldn’t fully discern Xian’er’s strength, he knew that his woman’s power was certainly not weak.
It could be said that Nangong Qianliu struck out in anger, holding nothing back. With this strike, even a powerhouse at the Condensed Qi Realm would likely suffer severe injuries. Watching Huangpu Xian’er step forward, a cold smile crept onto his lips.
He was not like that useless member of the Luan family. The Condensed Force Realm was incomparably stronger than the Condensed Qi Realm, the gap as vast as a chasm…
The members of the Dark Gate also gaped in astonishment. Such a direct clash, and the beautiful woman by the young master’s side would surely be injured. But if he knew the outcome, shouldn’t the young master have acted?
“It seems our husband has quite a bit of confidence in this sister’s strength. However, this man’s power is already at the Condensed Force Realm. I hope nothing goes wrong!”
Dongfang Yanran, looking at Xiao Yufan’s calm expression, pouted slightly. She had already realized that this stunning beauty was likely another sister of theirs. This lecherous husband of theirs seemed to leave a trail of romantic debts wherever he went.
“Even if Sister Yanran doesn’t trust this beautiful sister, surely you trust our husband. Do you think he would let a beauty get hurt? Perhaps he’s preparing to play the hero and save the damsel…”
With a giggle, as Xiao Yufan returned unscathed, Tianxuan’s tightly closed heart slowly opened. Such a smile had not been seen by Dongfang Yanran for a long time, and for her, it was no different. The number of times she had smiled today already surpassed the total of the past half month.
“Could it be that Sister Tianxuan was won over in such a manner…”
Dongfang Yanran also began to laugh. Since Xiao Yufan wasn’t worried, they naturally trusted this man, for from beginning to end, their man had never let them down.
“Why are you suddenly bringing me into this!” Tianxuan’s face flushed slightly, her lips pouting in a charming manner that was utterly endearing, making Tianyi and the others admire Xiao Yufan even more. Only the young master could handle such exceptional women.
At this moment, Huangpu Xian’er and Nangong Qianliu had already collided, and amidst the stunned expressions of many, Nangong Qianliu was actually forced back dozens of steps…
Crack!
The dramatic scene nearly caused everyone’s jaws to drop, and even Xiao Yufan narrowed his eyes in surprise. He realized that his assessment of this girl’s strength might have been slightly off.
A single clash forcing a Condensed Force Realm powerhouse back dozens of steps could only mean that Huangpu Xian’er’s strength far surpassed Nangong Qianliu’s. She was either at the peak of the Condensed Force Realm or had already stepped into the Condensed Power Realm. Such talent was truly monstrous.
“Cough!” Barely managing to halt his retreat, Nangong Qianliu felt a warm surge in his throat, nearly spitting out a mouthful of blood…
While others might not sense Huangpu Xian’er’s strength, how could he not? Her internal energy was incredibly profound, making it impossible for him to resist even slightly. This gap made his brow furrow tightly.
He was no fool; on the contrary, he was very intelligent. Not to mention the strong internal energy fluctuations emanating from Xiao Yufan, just this beautiful woman alone was beyond his ability to contend with.
At this moment, he began to consider retreat. As long as he lived, there would always be opportunities. His relationship with the Luan family was merely one of convenience. If he lost the Luan family, he could always find another place. But losing his life would be utterly worthless.
“I thought you were strong, but it seems you’re just so-so!”
With a disdainful smile, Xiao Yufan sneered repeatedly. If he had been the one to strike, Nangong Qianliu wouldn’t have had the chance to stand and speak to him. But even if he could win, it wouldn’t be as effortlessly as Xian’er had.
“Hmph, do you only know how to hide behind a woman?”
“Do you want to fight me? If so, I can grant you that wish!”
Xiao Yufan felt little emotion towards this man’s resentment, but he had no intention of letting him go. Since he dared to harm his brother, he would dare to sever this man’s arms!
“If you and this beauty attack together, I stand no chance of winning…”
Nangong Qianliu’s face was unusually grim. He could sense Xiao Yufan’s killing intent, sending a chill through him. In truth, he only said this out of fear that the two might attack simultaneously, leaving him no chance to escape.
“To kill you, I don’t even need my woman to act, let alone just defeat you!”
Xiao Yufan’s smile was brimming with confidence. Even if Nangong Qianliu’s strength was not weak, in his eyes, it was nothing more than that…
Nangong Qianliu’s lips twitched violently. He was almost certain now that this man truly intended to kill him. Indeed, he had harmed a member of the Dark Gate, and as the young master, it was only natural to seek retribution. But that didn’t mean he was afraid.
In his view, even if he couldn’t defeat Xiao Yufan, he still had a chance to escape. As long as he could leave, he would eventually find a way to regain his honor…
“Tianyi, which hand did he injure?”
Xiao Yufan turned to look at Tianyi, who appeared somewhat weak, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. Tianyi had been with him the longest. Although he always addressed him as ‘young master,’ in Xiao Yufan’s eyes, Tianyi was also his brother.
“Right hand!” Tianyi hesitated for a moment before speaking. He believed in the young master’s strength, though he felt ashamed that he couldn’t be of any help at this moment…
“Rest for now. His right hand, I’ll take it for you!”
Xiao Yufan’s voice was calm, but to the ears of the Luan family, it was like a thunderclap. If anything were to happen to Nangong Qianliu, their Luan family would truly be finished. Even if Xiao Yufan spared them, that place would not.
Nangong Qianliu also shuddered. At this moment, he felt an icy aura enveloping Xiao Yufan, a pressure that made him feel suffocated…
The members of the Secret Gate were watching with mouths agape. This direct clash—if the beautiful woman beside their young master were to get hurt, surely it would be a disaster. If they had known this would happen, their young master should have intervened himself.
Nangong Qianliu’s movements naturally fell into Xiao Yufan’s eyes, but he still made no move, because at this moment, Huangpu Xian’er had already taken action…
Although Xiao Yufan admitted that this Nangong Qianliu was extremely detestable, his talent was undeniable. This man, younger than himself, had already reached the mid-stage of the Condensed Force Realm. In the secular world, there were truly few who could match him.
Yet, Xiao Yufan still did not stop his woman from acting. Though he couldn’t fully grasp Xian’er’s strength, he knew that his woman was certainly not weak.
It could be said that Nangong Qianliu struck out in anger, holding nothing back. If this blow landed, even a strong practitioner at the Condensed Qi Realm would likely suffer severe injuries. Seeing Huangpu Xian’er step forward to meet him, a cold smile crept onto his lips.
He was not like that useless person from the Luan family. The Condensed Force Realm was incomparably stronger than the Condensed Qi Realm, and the gap between them was like a vast chasm…
The members of the Dark Sect also gaped in astonishment. Such a direct clash would surely injure the beautiful woman accompanying their young master. Yet, if he knew this outcome, shouldn’t the young master have intervened?
“It seems our husband has quite a bit of confidence in this sister’s strength. However, this man has already reached the Condensed Force Realm. I hope nothing goes wrong!”
Dongfang Yanran, looking at Xiao Yufan’s calm expression, couldn’t help but pout slightly. She had already realized that this stunning beauty was likely another sister in their circle. It seemed their lustful husband left a trail of romantic entanglements wherever he went.
“Even if Sister Yanran doesn’t trust this beautiful sister, surely you trust our husband, right? Do you think he would let a beauty get hurt? Perhaps he’s just preparing to play the hero and save the damsel…”
With a soft laugh, Tian Xuan’s tightly closed heart slowly opened as Xiao Yufan returned unharmed. This smile was something Dongfang Yanran hadn’t seen in a long time, and for Tian Xuan, it was the same. Today, the number of times she had smiled already surpassed the total from the past half month.
“Could it be that Tian Xuan was won over in the same way?”
Dongfang Yanran also laughed. Since Xiao Yufan wasn’t worried, they naturally trusted him. From beginning to end, their man had never let them down.
“Why are you suddenly bringing me into this?” Tian Xuan’s face flushed slightly, her lips pouting in a charming manner that made Tian Yi and the others admire Xiao Yufan even more. Only their young master could handle such exceptional women.
At this moment, Huangpu Xian’er and Nangong Qianliu collided. To the astonishment of many, Nangong Qianliu was forced back dozens of steps…
“Gah!”
The dramatic scene nearly caused everyone’s jaws to drop. Even Xiao Yufan narrowed his eyes in surprise. He realized that his assessment of this girl’s strength might have been slightly off.
A single clash forcing a Condensed Force Realm practitioner back dozens of steps could only mean that Huangpu Xian’er’s strength far surpassed Nangong Qianliu’s. She might already be at the peak of the Condensed Force Realm, or perhaps she had even stepped into the Condensed Power Realm. Such talent was truly monstrous.
“Cough!” Barely managing to stop his retreat, Nangong Qianliu felt a warm surge in his throat, nearly causing him to spit out blood…
While others might not sense Huangpu Xian’er’s strength, he could clearly feel it. Her internal energy was incredibly dense, making it impossible for him to resist. This gap made his brows furrow tightly.
He was no fool; in fact, he was quite intelligent. Not only did Xiao Yufan exude a strong internal energy, but this beautiful woman alone was more than he could handle.
At this moment, he began to consider retreating. As long as he preserved his life, he could always find another opportunity. His relationship with the Luan family was merely one of convenience. If he lost them, he could always find another place. But losing his life would be a different matter entirely.
“I thought you were strong, but it seems you’re nothing special after all!”
With a disdainful smile, Xiao Yufan sneered. If he had been the one to strike, Nangong Qianliu wouldn’t have had the chance to stand and speak. However, even if he could defeat him, it wouldn’t have been as effortless as Xian’er made it seem.
“Hmph, do you only know how to hide behind women?”
“So you want to fight me? If that’s the case, I can oblige you!”
Xiao Yufan showed little emotion toward the man’s resentment, but he had no intention of letting him go. Since he dared to harm his brother, he would dare to sever this man’s arms!
“If you and this beauty attack together, I stand no chance of winning…”
Nangong Qianliu’s face darkened. He could sense Xiao Yufan’s killing intent, sending a chill down his spine. His words were merely a ploy to ensure they didn’t attack him simultaneously, leaving him no chance to escape.
“To kill you, I don’t even need my woman to act, let alone just defeat you!”
Xiao Yufan’s smile radiated confidence. Even if Nangong Qianliu was strong, in his eyes, he was nothing more than that…
Nangong Qianliu’s lips twitched. He was almost certain now that this man truly intended to kill him. Indeed, he had harmed someone from the Dark Sect, and as the young master, it was only natural for him to seek retribution. But that didn’t mean he was afraid.
In his view, even if he couldn’t defeat Xiao Yufan, he still had a chance to escape. As long as he could get away, he would eventually find a way to reclaim his dignity…
“Tian Yi, which hand did he use to harm you?”
Xiao Yufan turned to look at Tian Yi, who appeared somewhat weakened. A cold glint flashed in his eyes. Tian Yi had been with him the longest. Though he always addressed him as “young master,” in Xiao Yufan’s eyes, Tian Yi was also his brother.
“His right hand!” Tian Yi hesitated for a moment before speaking. He trusted the young master’s strength, but he felt ashamed that he couldn’t be of any help at this moment…
“Rest for now. I’ll take his right hand for you.”
Xiao Yufan’s voice was calm, but to the ears of the Luan family, it was like a thunderclap. If anything happened to Nangong Qianliu, their family would be truly finished. Even if Xiao Yufan spared them, that place would not.
Nangong Qianliu also shuddered. At this moment, he felt an icy aura enveloping Xiao Yufan, a pressure that made him feel suffocated…
Dongfang Yanran gazed at Xiao Yufan’s calm expression, a faint pout gracing her lips. She had already figured it out—another beauty was likely to become their sister-in-arms. This womanizing husband of hers always seemed to leave a trail of romantic entanglements wherever he went.
“Even if Sister Yanran doesn’t trust this beauty, you should trust my husband, right? Do you really think he’d let a beautiful girl get hurt? Maybe he’s even planning to play the hero and come to her rescue…”
Giggling, as Tianxuan saw Xiao Yufan return unharmed, the tightly sealed door of her heart slowly opened. Such a radiant smile was something Dongfang Yanran hadn’t seen from her in a long time. And for herself? She hadn’t smiled this much in the past half-month combined.
“So, was it like this that you got hooked, Sister Tianxuan?”
Dongfang Yanran laughed along. If Xiao Yufan wasn’t worried, naturally none of them would be either. After all, their man had never once disappointed them from the very beginning.
“How come the topic suddenly turned to me again!” Her face blushing slightly, Tianxuan pouted her lips, her charming expression irresistibly endearing. Once again, Tianyi and the others couldn’t help but admire Xiao Yufan. Only their young master could possibly command such an extraordinary woman.
Just then, Huanpu Xian’er and Nangong Qianliu had already clashed—and amidst a chorus of stunned expressions, Nangong Qianliu actually staggered backward more than ten steps…
Crash!
The dramatic scene nearly caused jaws to drop to the floor. Even Xiao Yufan narrowed his eyes in surprise. It seemed he had underestimated this girl just a little.
Nangong Qianliu’s movements naturally caught Xiao Yufan’s attention, but he remained motionless, as Huangpu Xian’er had already taken action…
Although Xiao Yufan admitted that Nangong Qianliu was extremely detestable, his talent was undeniable. This man, slightly younger than himself, had already reached the mid-stage of the Condensed Force Realm. In the secular world, few could match him.
Yet, Xiao Yufan still didn’t stop his woman from acting. Though he couldn’t fully grasp Xian’er’s strength, he knew she was no weakling.
Nangong Qianliu struck out in anger, holding nothing back. This single blow could severely injure even a Condensed Qi Realm expert. Seeing Huangpu Xian’er step forward, a cold smile crept onto his lips.
He wasn’t like that useless member of the Luan family. The Condensed Force Realm was incomparably stronger than the Condensed Qi Realm, the gap as vast as a chasm…
The members of the Dark Sect were also wide-eyed. Such a direct clash would surely injure the beautiful woman accompanying their young master. Yet, knowing the outcome, shouldn’t the young master have intervened?
“It seems our husband has quite a bit of confidence in this sister’s strength. But this man has already reached the Condensed Force Realm. I hope nothing goes wrong!”
Dongfang Yanran, seeing Xiao Yufan’s calm expression, pouted slightly. She had already realized that this stunning beauty was likely another sister. Their lustful husband seemed to leave a trail of romantic debts wherever he went.
“Even if Sister Yanran doesn’t trust this beautiful sister, surely you trust our husband. Do you think he would let a beauty get hurt? Perhaps he’s preparing to play the hero and save the damsel…”
With a giggle, Tianxuan’s tightly closed heart began to open as Xiao Yufan returned unharmed. This smile was something Dongfang Yanran hadn’t seen in a long time. For her, it was the same; today, she had laughed more than in the past half month combined.
“Was Tianxuan also won over like this?”
Dongfang Yanran joined in the laughter. Since Xiao Yufan wasn’t worried, they naturally trusted him. From beginning to end, their man had never let them down.
“Why are you suddenly bringing me into this!” Tianxuan’s face flushed slightly, her pout making her look even more adorable, causing Tianyi and the others to admire Xiao Yufan even more. Only the young master could handle such exceptional women.
At that moment, Huangpu Xian’er and Nangong Qianliu collided. To everyone’s astonishment, Nangong Qianliu was forced back dozens of steps…
Crack!
The dramatic scene nearly made everyone’s jaws drop. Even Xiao Yufan narrowed his eyes in surprise. He realized he had underestimated this girl’s strength.
A single clash had forced a Condensed Force Realm expert back dozens of steps, indicating that Huangpu Xian’er’s strength far surpassed Nangong Qianliu’s. She was either at the peak of the Condensed Force Realm or had already stepped into the Condensed Power Realm. Such talent was almost monstrous.
“Cough!” Barely stopping his retreat, Nangong Qianliu felt a warm surge in his throat, nearly spitting out blood…
While others might not sense Huangpu Xian’er’s strength, he could. Her internal energy was incredibly dense, making it impossible for him to resist. This gap made him frown deeply.
He wasn’t a fool; in fact, he was quite intelligent. Not only did Xiao Yufan possess a strong internal energy, but this beautiful woman alone was beyond his ability to contend with.
Now, he began to consider retreat. As long as he lived, there would always be opportunities. His relationship with the Luan family was merely one of convenience. If he lost them, he could always find another place. But losing his life would be too great a cost.
“I thought you were strong, but it seems you’re nothing special!”
With a disdainful smile, Xiao Yufan sneered. If he had acted earlier, Nangong Qianliu wouldn’t have been standing to speak with him. But even if he could win, it wouldn’t have been as effortless as Xian’er’s victory.
“Hmph, do you only hide behind women?”
“Do you want to fight me? If so, I can oblige.”
Xiao Yufan showed little emotion toward the man’s resentment, but he had no intention of letting him go. Since he dared to harm his brother, Xiao Yufan would sever this man’s arms!
“If you and this beauty attack together, I stand no chance…”
Nangong Qianliu’s face darkened. He could feel Xiao Yufan’s killing intent, sending a chill down his spine. His words were merely a ploy to avoid facing both of them simultaneously, which would leave him no chance to escape.
“Killing you doesn’t even require my woman’s help, let alone defeating you!”
Xiao Yufan’s smile was brimming with confidence. Even if Nangong Qianliu was strong, in his eyes, he was nothing…
Nangong Qianliu’s face twitched. He was almost certain now that this man truly intended to kill him. Indeed, he had harmed a member of the Dark Sect, and as their young master, Xiao Yufan naturally sought retribution. But that didn’t mean he was afraid.
In his view, even if he couldn’t defeat Xiao Yufan, he still had a chance to escape. As long as he could leave, he would eventually find a way to regain his pride…
“Tianyi, which hand did he injure?”
Xiao Yufan turned to look at the visibly weakened Tianyi, a cold glint in his eyes. Tianyi had been with him the longest. Though he always addressed him as “young master,” in Xiao Yufan’s eyes, Tianyi was also his brother.
“Right hand!” Tianyi hesitated before answering. He trusted the young master’s strength, but he felt ashamed for being unable to help at this moment…
“Rest for now. I’ll take his right hand for you.”
Xiao Yufan’s voice was calm, but to the Luan family, it was like a thunderclap. If anything happened to Nangong Qianliu, their family would be finished. Even if Xiao Yufan spared them, that place wouldn’t.
Nangong Qianliu also shuddered. At this moment, he felt an icy aura enveloping Xiao Yufan, a pressure that made him feel suffocated…
“Cough cough!” Barely managing to halt his backward momentum, Nangong Qianliu felt a warm surge rising from his throat, nearly spitting out blood…
Others might not sense Huanpu Xian’er’s power, but how could he possibly miss it? Her internal energy was so thick and overwhelming that he couldn’t resist even slightly. This gap caused his brows to furrow tightly.
He wasn’t a fool—in fact, quite the opposite. Not only did Xiao Yufan himself radiate a powerful internal energy, but even this beautiful woman was beyond his ability to oppose.
At this moment, he already had thoughts of retreating—better to preserve the green mountains than to worry about firewood. Besides, his relationship with the Luan family was nothing more than mutual exploitation. If he lost them, he could always find another base. But if he lost his life, it wouldn’t be worth it.
“I thought you were so strong. Turns out you’re nothing special after all!”
A disdainful smile curling his lips, Xiao Yufan sneered. If it had been him attacking, Nangong Qianliu wouldn’t even have the chance to stand and speak to him. Yet if he had won, he wouldn’t have made it look as effortless as Xian’er had.
“Hmph, are you only capable of hiding behind women?”
“Do you want a fight with me then? If so, I’d be happy to oblige!”
Xiao Yufan bore no strong emotions toward the man’s resentment, but he certainly had no intention of letting him off easily either. Daring to injure his brothers—he would dare to sever this man’s arms without hesitation!
“If both you and this beauty attack together, I naturally have no chance of winning…”
Nangong Qianliu’s expression darkened. He could feel the killing intent in Xiao Yufan’s gaze, sending a chill through him. Truthfully, he said this only out of fear that they might attack together, leaving him no chance to escape.
“Killing you doesn’t even require my woman’s help, much less defeating you!”
His smile brimmed with confidence. Even though Nangong Qianliu was no weakling, in Xiao Yufan’s eyes, he was nothing special…
His lips twitching violently, Nangong Qianliu was nearly certain now—this man truly intended to kill him. Indeed, he had injured members of the Secret Gate, and as their young master, Xiao Yufan naturally had to reclaim his honor. But that didn’t mean he would be afraid.
In his mind, even if he couldn’t defeat Xiao Yufan, he still had a chance to escape. As long as he survived, he could always seek revenge one day…
“Tianyi, which hand injured you?”
Xiao Yufan turned his head, glancing at the visibly weakened Tianyi, his eyes flashing with icy coldness. Tianyi had been with him the longest. Though he always called himself the young master, in Xiao Yufan’s eyes, Tianyi was also his brother.
“My right hand!” Tianyi hesitated slightly before answering. He believed in his young master’s strength, but he felt ashamed that he couldn’t help at all in this moment…
“Rest over there for now. I’ll collect that right hand for you!”
Xiao Yufan’s voice remained calm, yet to the Luan family’s people, it sounded like thunderclap. If anything happened to Nangong Qianliu, their Luan family was finished. Even if Xiao Yufan spared them, that other place would not.
Nangong Qianliu himself trembled. At that moment, he felt an icy, oppressive aura emanating from Xiao Yufan—one that made him feel suffocated and overwhelmed…
