Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 786 - 279: Night Raid

"Obstinate and foolish," Dugu Xiu was unwilling to waste any more words.

He shook his fists, and with a seemingly casual punch, the bones within his body crackled. The force of his punch instantly ripped through the air,

His body had not yet moved, but his presence was already felt, intimidating those around him. Dugu Xiu’s Martial Artist Realm was dozens of times stronger than that of the martial artists from the Continent Martial Artist Elite Camp.

Gu Feng’s brow twitched uncontrollably as he knew he was no match for Dugu Xiu, but thinking of Donghuang Lingling, he suppressed the urge to flee.

Gu Feng spurred his Mana, continuously strengthening the Bright Celestial Sphere.

Dugu Xiu’s body flew past, like a swift shuttle, charging directly at Gu Feng’s Bright Celestial Sphere with a strong gust.

The fist wind morphed into a roaring black tiger with bulging eyes midway through the air, crashing towards Gu Feng’s Bright Celestial Sphere.

The black tiger opened its bloody maw and clamped down on the Bright Celestial Sphere.

"Boom"

Gu Feng’s Bright Celestial Sphere was struck by the fist wind, vibrated twice, and then explosively shattered.

Although Gu Feng’s Bright Celestial Sphere was primarily defensive and boasted an undefeated record in defense, he never imagined it could be shattered by Dugu Xiu’s single punch.

Shock overwhelmed his heart, and without its protection, Dugu Xiu’s second punch was already on its way, as fast as a shadow.

Suddenly, a loud commotion came from outside; a guard shouted for help: "Disaster! The Crown Prince’s house has caught fire."

Soon after, a blaze was seen soaring into the sky outside the houses.

Sounds like the thunder of spring exploded from nearby houses.

The monks inside the East Bright Temple ran out of the courtyard in a panic, turning the normally serene temple into a chaotic boiling mess.

Upon seeing this, Dugu Xiu had no intent to kill Gu Feng any longer. He grabbed Gu Feng, threw him at a guard, and said, "Watch him."

Several guards rushed inside, "Your Highness, several formidable assassins have arrived."

Dugu Xiu, with furrowed brows, led several people out of the house.

Lady Chi Bi, dragging a wooden-faced Donghuang Lingling, also ran out.

Flanked by several guards, Gu Feng arrived in the courtyard and upon seeing the raging fire, his mouth widened into a grin.

It must be Yun Sheng and Gu Feng coming to rescue him.

Lingling will be saved; as long as Yun Sheng arrives, there will definitely be a way to rescue Lingling.

At that moment, the temple was in complete chaos.

Dugu Xiu, together with a few armored guards, rushed into his own courtyard.

What was a fine courtyard just 15 minutes earlier had now turned into a ruin engulfed in flames.

Not only Dugu Xiu’s personal belongings but also some gowns were inside those constructions.

The fire was no ordinary fire, as the water used by the guards and monks could not extinguish it.

Under the starry moonlit sky, two black-clothed Mage wearing masks stood prominently in the dark, each with distinct Magic Wings behind them.

Inside the East Bright Temple of the Eastern Capital, two Sky Mages had appeared overnight.

This was indeed an extraordinary occurrence.

As far as Dugu Xiu knew, even across the entire Donghuang Dynasty, it was rare to find two Sky Mages.

These two Mages, with their Magic Wands in hand, with still glowing soul stones, hurled dazzling fireballs at the houses of the East Bright Temple.

"Who dares trespass into the Post Qin Prince Residence," Dugu Xiu, with his Fighting Energy Wings materialized behind him, launched into the sky, confronting the two Sky Mages.

These two Sky Mages were dressed as assassins, wrapped in layers of black cloth to conceal their true faces, making it impossible for Dugu Xiu to discern their appearances, let alone their genders.

Having heard Dugu Xiu’s questioning, the male mage standing to the left, radiating Wind Magic Elements, said, "Dugu Xiu, it is indeed you we seek."

With that, he launched several magic attacks towards Dugu Xiu.

"Poisonous," Dugu Xiu’s eyes narrowed sharply; the mage’s magic was peculiar, all imbued with intense poison.

Dugu Xiu abruptly halted his movements, a natural barrier of fighting spirit formed around him, blocking the toxic gases.

However, the male mage’s intention was not aimed at Dugu Xiu; in an instant, he cast several spells, and several ground guards were poisoned.

While the male mage was attacking, the mage on his right had already struck the ground, a beautiful Frozen Magic, turning the two male warriors holding Gu Feng into blocks of ice.

"Think it’s easy to save them," Dugu Xiu snorted, and suddenly pushed out a palm, creating a wave of fighting spirit in the air, like a tide rising and falling, sweeping towards the male mage like a raging storm.

The male mage hastily used Earth Escape, narrowly avoiding Dugu Xiu’s attack.

After eluding the male mage, Dugu Xiu dove down and aimed a palm at the other mage.

Just then, a night breeze emerged.

As Dugu Xiu approached this mage, a comfortably subtle fragrance wafted from the person.

Unexplainably, Dugu Xiu’s heart quivered.

His hawk-like eyes narrowed, fixed on the assassin mage.

The mage’s robe was very loose, concealing the figure.

The face was also well covered, with only a small section of the neck and part of the face exposed.

Yet, that small exposed part of the face, under the night sky, shone with a snow-like luster.

This paleness was different from the favored concubines of Lady Chi Bi among the Post Qin concubines, not the kind achieved with fragrance powder, but a natural delicate pallor that men couldn’t help but adore. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Then there were her eyes.

Eyes!

Dugu Xiu’s body uncontrollably trembled, and in an instant, he recognized the identity of the assassin mage.

Such eyes, smart yet with a bit of purity, like a limpid autumn pond, clear yet with a hint of a woman’s playfulness.

Other than her, who could it be.

Yun Sheng.

Rage was instantly swallowed by overwhelming joy; Dugu Xiu forcibly stopped his palm strike just half an inch away, brushing past Yun Sheng’s chest.

This hold back and brush seemed casual, but only someone with Dugu Xiu’s skills could achieve it.

It’s worth noting that Martial Artists are different from mages, with fighting spirit that’s extremely fierce, capable of shattering stones even without touching the body.

To be able to control the fighting spirit at will, blending fierceness with a degree of flexibility, that’s at least at the level of a Martial Emperor.

Yun Sheng originally planned to have Qi temporarily delay Dugu Xiu, allowing her time to save Gu Feng and Donghuang Lingling before figuring out an escape.

She hadn’t expected that in just a few years of not seeing Dugu Xiu, his strength had advanced to such an extent.

His speed had reached an unimaginably swift level.

Yun Sheng was taken aback, and in that moment of surprise, her chest was nearly taken advantage of by Dugu Xiu.

In Dugu Xiu’s eyes, a sinister fierceness lingered, but he clearly saw the slight annoyance in Yun Sheng’s eyes.

Dugu Xiu’s lips curled into a smirk, carrying a hint of mockery.
