"Huh?"
Ye Wangchuan and Li Luo, who were munching on cultivation pills and Foundation Building Pills, looked up in confusion at Luo Nangui.
Who is this guy?
Just then, Ye Wangchuan noticed a woman standing beside Luo Nangui.
Both of them were decent-looking...
Could they be the chosen ones of fate?
With that thought, Ye Wangchuan quickly stuffed more cultivation pills and Foundation Building Pills into his mouth!
Soon, Ye Wangchuan's cultivation level "boomed" as he broke through to the late stage of the second realm.
Only then did he stand up and address Luo Nangui.
"Ye Wangchuan of the Ye family, Chang'an City."
As soon as these words were spoken, Murong, who was standing beside Luo Nangui, widened her eyes in shock, and beads of sweat began to form on her forehead.
After all, she was the young lady of a prominent family in Yanjing City.
How could she not have heard of the first family of Chang'an City?
Moreover...
It was the family of that old monster.
Murong trembled as she reached out to tug at Luo Nangui's sleeve, trying to dissuade him.
Luo Nangui, however, thought Murong was just scared.
So he patted her back gently and whispered reassuringly,
"Don't worry, I'm here! I won't let anyone hurt you! There's no need to be afraid!"
After comforting her, Luo Nangui looked up.
His eyes were filled with confidence, and a smirk curled at the corner of his lips as he gave Ye Wangchuan a disdainful look.
"The Ye family? Never heard of it!"
Luo Nangui genuinely hadn't heard of the Ye family.
After all, he was just an ordinary person.
Just like how ordinary people in Chang'an City didn't know that the strongest family in Yanjing City was the Long family, ordinary people in Yanjing City also didn't know that the strongest family in Chang'an City was the Ye family.
In a Xuanhuan world without the internet, it was difficult for ordinary people to gather information about other cities.
But precisely because of this, Luo Nangui felt even more confident!
"I've never even heard of your Ye family in Yanjing. Do you really think your family can come all the way to Yanjing, right in front of the Murong family, and beat me up?"
Though the surname "Ye" was indeed impressive, I don't believe you're that powerful!
With that thought, Luo Nangui confidently declared,
"However, you scared my young lady, and that is unforgivable! Now, apologize to her immediately!"
"Stop it, ahhhh!"
Murong let out a sharp scream and rushed over to cover Luo Nangui's mouth.
Luo Nangui thought Murong was just being tsundere again.
No problem! He knew very well that with tsunderes, you just had to do the opposite of what they said!
So he turned around, patted Murong's shoulder, and said confidently,
"Don't worry, we'll win!"
"No! My father told me that the Ye family has an old monster! Don't provoke them!"
"It's fine. For you, my lady, I'm willing to take on the whole world!"
"?"
Before Murong could react.
Boom!
Luo Nangui stomped his foot heavily on the ground, shattering the rocks beneath him as he charged toward Ye Wangchuan.
At this moment, Luo Nangui's heart was filled with satisfaction.
He had just delivered such a cool line—surely Murong was moved to tears, right?
The skills he used to chase after the school beauty back on Earth were now being used in this ancient Xuanhuan world. It was like a dimensional downgrade for him!
Hehe~
Why hadn't his system given him any "pure love points" for that?
Just as Luo Nangui was feeling smug, a sudden chill hit his face.
"Huh? What the—ugh!"
A spear came crashing down, smashing into Luo Nangui's face and sending him flying!
The spear carried him all the way until he slammed into a stone wall, shattering it into pieces before he finally came to a stop!
Luo Nangui's face was instantly twisted from the impact, and streaks of blood oozed out, only to freeze instantly from the cold energy released by the spear!
Not only that, but the cold energy continued to seep into his body through the wounds!
Along with it came a surge of malicious thoughts!
The negative emotions within those thoughts immediately triggered Luo Nangui's memories of being repeatedly rejected by the school beauty, filling him with grief and rage.
The dual assault on his body and mind left Luo Nangui writhing in agony, howling in pain.
"Luo Nangui!"
Seeing Luo Nangui being attacked, Murong was shocked.
She immediately took out a heart-shaped stone from her spatial ring, decisively cut her palm with a knife, and let her blood drip onto the stone.
As the stone absorbed her blood, Luo Nangui's injuries began to heal rapidly.
This stone was a system item belonging to Luo Nangui, and its function was to absorb the life force of one person to heal another.
In other words, it transferred life force.
Although Murong didn't know where Luo Nangui had gotten such a miraculous item, she understood how to use it.
At this moment.
Seeing Luo Nangui's injuries heal, Ye Wangchuan immediately became serious.
What kind of sinister object was that heart-shaped stone?
If he could get his hands on it, could he force someone to continuously bleed for him to restore his health from a distance?
Let me take a closer look!
With that thought, Ye Wangchuan immediately charged toward Murong!
The speed of someone at the late stage of the second realm erupted like a high-speed train.
Just as Ye Wangchuan entered within 50 meters of Murong and swung his spear at her, Luo Nangui's eyes turned red. He pulled out a turtle-shell-shaped shield and roared,
"Don't you dare hurt my lady!!!!"
As soon as he said this, a golden light instantly enveloped Murong!
Boom!!!
The spear struck Murong's waist.
But Murong remained completely unharmed, not a scratch on her!
Instead, Luo Nangui, who was standing nearby, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and a deep gash appeared on his waist!
"Damage transfer, huh?"
Ye Wangchuan calmly analyzed the situation and immediately pulled out another spear to strike at Murong.
Murong, now fully alert, unleashed her early third-realm cultivation and swiftly dodged the spear, pleading,
"Wait, wait! Young Master Ye! I'm Murong of the Murong family in Yanjing. I think we can—"
"My lady! I'll help you!"
Before Murong could finish her explanation, Luo Nangui charged forward again.
He immediately shouted at Ye Wangchuan,
"Ye Wangchuan! You coward, do you only dare to bully women? If you have the guts, come at me!"
As soon as these words were spoken, a peculiar emotion surged in Ye Wangchuan's heart.
He suddenly felt...
This turtle-shell guy was so damn annoying! He had to beat him to death—
The moment this thought appeared, Ye Wangchuan's rationality suppressed it.
"Taunt, huh?"
Ye Wangchuan suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at Luo Nangui with a cold smile.
"One spear almost killed you, and you still need a woman to save you. Haha~"
"You—!"
Luo Nangui was so furious he couldn't speak.
In a fit of rage, he raised his turtle-shell shield and charged at Ye Wangchuan.
Ye Wangchuan threw two spears at him, but they only left two scratches on the shield.
Seeing that his attacks were ineffective, Ye Wangchuan prepared to dodge and flank him.
But suddenly, as if remembering something, Ye Wangchuan changed his approach and used his spear to block.
Boom!!!
A powerful force slammed into Ye Wangchuan, sending him flying backward.
Ye Wangchuan stabbed his spear into the ground, carving a 20-meter-long trench before he finally came to a stop.
That collision made Ye Wangchuan feel like his arms were about to break.
And this was with the opponent holding a shield and being injured, unable to use his full strength!
The gap between the late second realm and the third realm was just too vast!
"Kid, this is the price of angering me!"
"I was going to let you off, but since you dared to attack my lady, not even the heavens can save you now!"
Seeing Ye Wangchuan sent flying with one hit, Luo Nangui became even more arrogant.
Ye Wangchuan, however, ignored him.
With a calm mind, he took out a pill and swallowed it, then said,
"Li Luo, detonate."
"Huh? Detonate what—"
Before Luo Nangui could finish his question, he saw two red lights flash on his turtle-shell shield.
