Chapter 466: Chapter 466: Protecting Your Path

However, it was all too late. Tang Yue’er, who had no combat experience, had no chance of turning defeat into victory in this situation.

"Heh—"

She even heard Old Tang’s sneering laughter coming from behind her.

"Boom!"

The next second, a terrifying force struck her back, and Tang Yue’er spewed a mouthful of blood with a "wa", her body flying out like a kite with a broken string.

The moment she fell to the ground, she felt as if all her internal organs had shattered under the impact of that blow, and blood gushed from her mouth in great spurts.

She felt her consciousness fading. Was she going to die?

Her grandfather had spent so many years trying to save her, so how could she repay his kindness if she died now?

It was Qin Chuan who had paid a steep price to save her life; if she died, how could she repay him for saving her life?

She was unwilling!

Tang Yue’er felt an intense unwillingness in her heart. She didn’t want to die, not because she feared death, but because she feared dying without being able to repay those she loved.

"Sister Yue’er!"

Just then, a voice filled with panic echoed throughout Cloud Summit Heaven Villa.

Tang Yue’er, struggling to turn her head, saw the girl, Nian Nian, who she had just met for the first time, running toward her.

"Run..."

Tang Yue’er managed to say, "Run fast!"

She was very aware of how powerful Old Tang was; Qin Nian running over at this time was tantamount to courting death. She had lost the ability to think and didn’t realize that from the moment Qin Nian appeared, the outcome was already sealed.

Her reaction was completely instinctual; she only wanted Qin Nian to escape from there.

However, Qin Nian, as if she hadn’t heard her plea, had already run over. Looking at Tang Yue’er, who was spewing mouthfuls of blood, Qin Nian’s face was covered in shock.

"Sister Yue’er, don’t die, you must hold on. Brother will be back soon, you have to wait for him to come back!"

Qin Nian hugged the blood-covered Tang Yue’er, her tears falling heavily.

Although it was her first time meeting Tang Yue’er, she knew well the deep connection between this woman and her brother. If this woman died, her brother would be utterly heartbroken and devastated.

In just one day, she had already lost her grandfather, and now she had to watch Tang Yue’er on the verge of death. She couldn’t accept such a cruel reality.

Hearing Qin Nian’s words, a flicker of light suddenly appeared in Tang Yue’er’s eyes, along with a glimpse of hope.

It seemed Qin Nian had already made contact with Qin Chuan. As long as she could hold on until Qin Chuan returned, even if she were to die, it wouldn’t matter as long as she could save Qin Nian—that would be her way of repaying Qin Chuan for saving her life.

As for repaying her grandfather’s kindness, she would have to wait for another lifetime.

With this thought, she mustered all her strength to stimulate the Yin Dan within her body, and a dense Celestial Yin Energy burst forth from her.

Qin Nian, holding Tang Yue’er, suddenly felt a wave of cold sweeping through her.

"Nian Nian, if I can’t hold on until your brother returns, you must tell him that he is the only man I have ever loved in this life."

Tang Yue’er suddenly stood up, turned toward Qin Nian with a slight smile tugging at the corner of her mouth, forming a beautiful curve.

That smile wasn’t stunning, but it held an extreme, poignant beauty that momentarily transfixed Qin Nian.

Qin Nian hadn’t recovered from her daze when she was suddenly pushed dozens of meters away by a gentle force.

Old Tang’s expression was solemn, his cold gaze relentlessly fixed on Tang Yue’er as he said, "You managed to withstand my Fiery Fire Palm and still live. It seems that, just as I suspected, your cultivation has reached the King Realm, only lacking combat experience."

Liu Hanwen’s heart pounded wildly; he had thought Tang Yue’er was done for, but she had managed to stand up unexpectedly.

Offending a King Realm Strong, especially one who likely had the backing of an Ancient Martial World power, could spell disaster for any family in the Secular World.

However, the Liu Family had no way of turning back anymore.

Today, either Tang Yue’er must die, or the Liu Family must perish.

"Enough talk; let this inexperienced rookie experience the might of one of the top powerhouses of the Secular World."

Tang Yue’er’s gaze was icy cold as she forcibly channeled the Yin Dan, her entire body enveloped by a frosty aura.

The temperature of the entire Cloud Summit Heaven Villa seemed to plummet several degrees at that moment.

The more Celestial Yin Energy erupted, the stronger Tang Yue’er’s aura became, but the cracks on her Yin Dan within her body also multiplied.

At this very moment, she was completely overexerting her Yin Dan, sacrificing it to forcibly elevate her strength.

Although her cultivation was at the King Realm Initial Stage, and her enemy was merely at the Half-step Early Stage King Realm, the difference was that her opponent’s battle experience far exceeded hers. She could only seek to boost her strength even a bit to narrow the gap between them.

"Hmm?"

Old Tang’s expression changed drastically as he sensed Tang Yue’er’s burgeoning power.

"Planning to use a Secret Technique to forcibly increase your strength to make up for our gap?" he sneered, his voice filled with murderous intent. "Had you used the Secret Technique to enhance your strength from the beginning, perhaps I would have made a different choice, but now, you, severely injured, are not worth fearing!"

"Kill!"

With a loud shout, Old Tang’s body sprung forth like a snow leopard pouncing on its prey, leaping high into the air before he even neared Tang Yue’er.

A fearsome aura erupted from him, and while still mid-air, his right hand had already formed a palm strike, shrouded in a faint firelight.

"Fiery Fire Palm!"

Old Tang roared, slamming his right palm down on Tang Yue’er with a might that seemed to sweep through heaven and earth.

Tang Yue’er’s long hair whipped wildly as her aura suddenly surged.

"Ah!"

She let out a ferocious roar, unleashing her strike with all her might, no fancy moves, just a fierce palm strike aimed directly at Old Tang’s palm.

"Boom!"

Their palms collided, releasing an earth-shattering force that swept out in every direction.

"Puh!"

"Puh!"

To Liu Hanwen’s utter astonishment, this time, Old Tang too spat out a mouthful of blood, his body retreating seven or eight steps.

And Tang Yue’er also spat out blood, retreating over a dozen steps until she collided with the villa’s concrete wall. Had it not stopped her, she would have been propelled even further.

Tang Yue’er’s entire arm trembled; her once delicate palm was scorched black, with fresh blood trailing down her arm and dripping onto the ground from her palm.

Her complexion turned deathly pale, and she was now propped against the wall, struggling not to fall, her icy eyes firmly fixed on Old Tang.

Old Tang, though not as catastrophically injured as Tang Yue’er, had his right arm broken, and his aura had significantly weakened.

"Sister Yue’er!"

After being stunned for a while, Qin Nian snapped back to reality and rushed forward, shouting.

Old Tang’s chilly gaze remained locked on Tang Yue’er, and his heart experienced an indescribable shock. He could clearly feel that Tang Yue’er’s strength had massively increased—if there were another round, he feared she could actually kill him.

Tang Yue’er might have appeared exceedingly weak, but Old Tang was already filled with dread and dared not make another move.

Suddenly, Old Tang turned to Liu Hanwen, who was still in shock, and said, "Lord Liu, kill her!"

Liu Hanwen shuddered all over, his face consumed by fear.

"She’s at the end of her rope; killing her with your strength will be as easy as flipping your hand!"

Seeing Liu Hanwen’s fear, Old Tang bellowed, "If she doesn’t die today, the Liu Family faces annihilation!"

He dared not lay hands on Tang Yue’er again but could let Liu Hanwen do the dirty work.

If Liu Hanwen made the move, even if he were killed, Old Tang still had a chance to escape, but if Old Tang himself took action, should Tang Yue’er still have the strength to fight back, his death would be certain.

He dared not gamble on whether Tang Yue’er had lost all her combat ability, but he could let Liu Hanwen test the waters.

Upon hearing the looming threat of the Liu Family’s annihilation from his lips, Liu Hanwen trembled, the murder in his eyes flickering.

Old Tang continued, "Lord Liu, this is your grand opportunity to make a name for yourself in Yandu. Kill this woman, and I shall clear the path for you. From now on, anyone who dares to oppose you, I shall kill!"
