Chapter 355: Chapter 354 Rescuing from the Tiger’s Mouth

The mentor and disciple both looked intently in that direction.

"Who is fighting?" Chaoyan asked subconsciously, using his Divine Sense to check.

Xie Jiuniang was also about to use her Divine Sense, but Jian Lingyan had already flown out from the Contract Totem, speaking anxiously, "Master, hurry and save him, Pulang is about to die!"

"What?" Xie Jiuniang was shocked.

Jian Lingyan added, "It’s that Divinity Transformation elder from the Nangong Family; he didn’t find you but found Pulang instead."

Xie Jiuniang looked up at Chaoyan.

At that moment, Chaoyan looked down.

With eye contact, they understood each other.

To risk their lives in a rescue was highly dangerous, so they had to find another way around it.

The two whispered, discussing briefly, then Chaoyan took out a Storage Ring.

This Storage Ring had the unique insignia of the Ao Family.

Chaoyan slipped it onto his finger and then took out a set of clothes, all bearing the Ao Family crest. After dressing up, he transformed and looked exactly like Ao Zhan.

He then disguised himself a bit more, showing a hint of sickness.

Now he looked even more convincing.

Xie Jiuniang was amazed.

What that damn dog said was actually true.

Then, Xie Jiuniang changed her face to a more youthful one, put on a vestment robe with the Xie Family insignia, made her hair messy, drew a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth, turned her complexion paler, and made herself look shorter, appearing like a child just over ten years old.

"Is this good enough, Master?"

"Roll on the ground a couple of times," Chaoyan instructed.

Xie Jiuniang did as told, and it did make her appearance seem much more natural; she then set up a Locating Talisman on the small island in the middle of the lake.

Immediately after, Chaoyan picked her up and they went towards the direction of the battle. "Good disciple, are you sure you can strike him? That kind of ordinary technique of a Divinity Transformation elder will not work on him."

"What about the Divine Ability I used to immobilize Ao Zhan last time?"

"At that time, Ao Zhan was seriously injured, with less than ten percent of his strength."

"Then if I can’t hold him for one breath, half a breath will do. Master, take the chance."

"No worries, if we really can’t escape, there’s still your grandmaster," said Chaoyan as if it were a matter of course, confidently, "And if all else fails, I have my old ancestors. I can summon them if needed."

Xie Jiuniang could use her Divine Ability; the target couldn’t be too far away, it needed to be within thirty feet.

The two planned to strike a heavy blow together.

In no time, the two appeared at the edge of the battle scene. Pulang was beaten back step by step. Just as he intended to self-destruct, Nangong Dou from the Nangong Family, an old Divinity Transformation, hastily retreated to a safe distance.

To self-destruct was Pulang’s last resort.

"Elder Nangong!" called out Chaoyan, in a voice very similar to Ao Zhan’s, "Do you need my help?"

Nangong Dou had already sensed "Ao Zhan" approaching with a child in tow. "What are you doing around here?"

"Catching a little rat, nothing much."

Chaoyan then teleported next to Nangong Dou.

They were about thirty feet apart, a rather appropriate distance.

At least it shouldn’t draw too much attention from Nangong Dou.

In fact, by this time, Chaoyan was impressed; the Face-changing Technique was incredibly powerful. In the future, he’d have to learn a Pupil Skill that could see through such illusions, lest he himself be fooled by them. While he spoke, he pretended to casually toss the captive aside.

The location had been calculated.

Behind Nangong Dou, and still within thirty feet.

Pulang coughed up blood; real, fresh blood. He was in dire condition.

When his gaze swept over where Chaoyan was...

"Nangong cur!" Pulang cursed.

Nangong Dou sneered coldly, "Pulang, today you die here, and not even a ripple will stir in the water, for you are as good as dead. If anyone is to blame for your bad luck, it’s you for falling into my hands."

"You old hag, a dog can’t change its habit of eating shit."

Pulang had a grudge with Nangong Dou from the past.

It was Nangong Dou who often appeared righteous on the surface but frequently assassinated people and plundered their treasures in secret. A friend of Pulang’s had been killed by Nangong Dou in a sneak attack.

Pulang was not wearing a cloak at this time.

Nangong Dou did not need to know if he was the one who slipped through the net in Yunmu City. As long as they encountered each other, he wanted to take the opportunity to kill Pulang right there to eliminate a major worry that had haunted him for many years.

Chaoyan felt that Pulang had a notable presence.

He swiftly drew Nangong Dou’s attention.

Nangong Dou sneered sinisterly, "Back then when you were poisoned with the blood toxin, everyone thought you were sure to die, even I thought so. Now that you’ve fallen into my hands, I will make you regret why you didn’t just die cleanly back then."

"Cough cough cough..."

Pulang broke into a violent cough.

Nangong Dou was about to make his move suddenly!

The opportunity arose!

Almost at the same time, Xie Jiuniang sat up, her Divine Ability manifested once more!

"Time, stop!"

Chaoyan had been conserving his strongest attack, and the Vermilion Bird’s Flame instantly swept towards Nangong Dou.

Nangong Dou was startled, but his body froze for a moment.

Alarmed by the approaching flame of the Vermilion Bird, the protective vestment robe on his body activated, blocking it for a moment. It was during this brief moment that Nangong Dou found an opportunity, quickly moved away from his original spot, and decisively tore off the robe that had caught fire sparks.

But just as his feet landed on the ground.

Suddenly, Nangong Dou was greatly shocked!

Beneath his feet, a strand of golden flame ignited silently, and his magical boots were already ablaze.

"Great Sun Golden Flame!"

Nangong Dou was shocked but then filled with ecstasy, "Is this the Great Sun Golden Flame that was lost by the Gongsun Family? Hahaha, today I have seen it, so it is mine now."

The next instant, his feet burst forth with frost.

With just one breath, he quelled the flames, but without a moment to catch his breath, his head suddenly ached, and at the same time, the Broken Sword, as unstoppable as a force of nature, shone with a cold light and struck Nangong Dou with the speed of thunder.

This was Broken Sword’s most powerful strike!

In the eyes of the three Divinity Transformation experts present, it was a strike comparable to that of a Divinity Transformation, and it didn’t even require Xie Jiuniang’s assistance. It was a sneak attack that Broken Sword managed to execute alone.

Moreover, the distance was so close!

It was difficult for Nangong Dou to find even a sliver of a gap for escape.

Even if he wanted to teleport away, there would be a momentary freeze, and this succession of deadly moves did not even give him an instant to react. It was as though someone had calculated all of this in advance!

They were intent on taking his life!

However, could an old-hand Divinity Transformation be so easily defeated?

Nangong Dou raised his arm, and as his fingers traced through the air, a thin layer of golden light emerged from nothing.

The golden light appeared somewhat illusory.

As if non-existent, yet it was indeed real.

Xie Jiuniang’s eyelids twitched!

That wasn’t just golden light; it was the Origin of Gold, as well the Power of Laws. The Broken Sword striking against it would be like delivering food to the enemy. Without any hesitation, Xie Jiuniang forcefully recalled Broken Sword back into the Divine Pattern Space.

"Escape!"

She activated a Teleportation Talisman and fled for her life!

Chaoyan wanted to seize the moment to strike again, but the Vermilion Bird urged him to flee first, "Hurry and escape, that is the Power of Laws. You, who have not comprehended the laws, would only find death upon collision!"

"Save him first."

Chaoyan flashed to Pulang’s side and in the blink of an eye, took him and disappeared.

With his disciple escaping ahead, he no longer had any concerns.

Pulang knew the person before him was not Ao Zhan, just not sure which fellow sect member from Tianxu Sect it was.

The next moment, the two appeared on a small island in the center of a lake.

Xie Jiuniang was already waiting for them there.

As the two of them appeared, she grabbed one with each hand and put them into the Small Tortoise Shell. Then, with another instant teleportation, she reached the bottom of the lake and slipped into the Small Tortoise Shell.

From the sneak attack to diving to the bottom of the lake, it happened in a very brief period, all within a matter of two or three breaths.
