Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 168: It Feels Great When Someone Stands Up for You!
Before Qian Yourong could speak, Ning Xuan turned to the elder and asked, "Senior, may I know your cultivation?"
The elder spoke indifferently, "I am Jun Tianzheng. With mediocre talent, I am currently only at the Ninth-Layer Heavens of the King Realm!"
Despite his words, his proud demeanor suggested he didn’t consider himself dull in the slightest.
Ning Xuan nodded, aimed the Energy Cannon at him, and muttered, "To only have this level of cultivation at such an old age... you really are quite stupid. I wonder if one shot can kill you. I’ll have to try it!"
The elder’s expression stiffened.
Qian Yourong brought a hand to her forehead. This little guy is such a troublemaker! But he’s so clever! He even managed to unlock the locking ring on the Energy Cannon! With this, a Martial Artist at the Ninth-Layer Heavens of the King Realm could really be blasted to death if locked onto!
Jun Tianzheng shuddered. He felt the terrifying sensation of being targeted by a peerless expert. If I let him fire, I might actually die!
After trying unsuccessfully to break free, his face turned green. "Yourong, give it to him, quickly!" he yelled, caving immediately.
Qian Yourong passed a Storage Ring to Ning Xuan, which contained exactly ten million Heavenly Crystals.
Ning Xuan was true to his word and handed the Energy Cannon back.
Just then, Lin Xihua’s wild laughter came from his sedan chair.
"Hahaha, thanks a lot! Now, this young master will take both the man and the Heavenly Crystals!"
With the Heavenly Crystals in Qian Yourong’s hands, he still had some reservations. But now, this fellow no longer had the Energy Cannon and was instead carrying ten million Heavenly Crystals. It was as if the prize had been prepared just for him! All his frustration from before was swept away. I even feel like I should thank Qian Yourong!
"Sister Qian, I owe you for this favor!" The sedan curtains bulged outward slightly, signifying Lin Xihua making a cupped-fist salute from inside.
"Get lost! Who’s your sister?!" Qian Yourong shot back, her expression unpleasant.
Lin Xihua wasn’t upset. Instead, he instructed the woman on his right, "Lan Lan, go."
Without the Energy Cannon, let’s see how they handle this!
At this moment, Qian Yourong’s voice rang in Ning Xuan’s ear. "Brother Ning Xuan, just call me your ’good sister,’ and I will help you."
Had Lin Xihua known about this, he would have collapsed from despair. The difference in how people were treated was just too vast!
Ning Xuan didn’t respond, simply staring at the approaching woman with a grim expression.
Men... always suffering because of their pride, Qian Yourong sighed internally. I originally thought Ning Xuan was different, but it seems... he’s just like the others! She couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed.
She involuntarily looked up at the high platform.
There, Qian Duoduo, who was still sitting on the ground struggling with a piece of candy, suddenly jolted up and tried to duck behind the "Ning Xuan" clone. Unbeknownst to him, the clone also thought Qian Yourong was dissatisfied with him and twisted backward.
And then... the two of them ended up mouth-to-mouth, staring at each other with wide eyes!
Astonished, Qian Yourong covered her face.
CRACK!
BANG!
Two sharp sounds suddenly erupted from the side.
When she looked over, Qian Yourong was astonished once more. The woman who was about to attack Ning Xuan had been fiercely slammed into the ground by him! As she looked, Ning Xuan was just standing up.
The woman clutched her throat, her body convulsing.
Qian Yourong’s beautiful eyes widened. What just happened?! How did this little guy do it?! Ugh! I can’t believe I missed it!! It’s all Qian Duoduo’s fault! If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have been distracted!
Qian Duoduo was left speechless.
Deciding to deal with Qian Duoduo later, Qian Yourong immediately turned to the person beside her. "How did he do that?!"
"I don’t know either." The man looked completely bewildered. It had all happened so fast that by the time he could react, the woman was already on the ground.
Qian Yourong’s beautiful eyes flickered. She didn’t bother asking Ning Xuan and instead looked toward Lin Xihua. "Young Master Lin, your woman was too careless. He seems to be only at the Heavenly Realm. Why don’t you send someone else to try?"
Lin Xihua, who was struggling to save face, quickly replied, "Yes, yes, she was just careless! Qinqin, you go! Remember, he dared to challenge our Lin Family. Even though his strength is low, his courage alone deserves our utmost respect! Therefore, go all out!"
If I can’t even take down a mere Heavenly Realm cultivator, what will become of my reputation?!
"Yes, Young Master!" Qinqin nodded and took a step forward.
BOOM!
Ning Xuan suddenly moved, taking the initiative to attack!
No one expected this, not even the woman he was attacking. By the time she reacted, Ning Xuan’s overbearing punch was already right in front of her face.
It wasn’t Stacking Fist; Ning Xuan used the Tyrant Annihilation Fist given to him by the old man from the Stele Forest!
Her heart trembled. Under the majestic and vast power of the fist intent, she seemed to see a supreme, unrivaled king throwing a punch! Her form and spirit were both violently shaken. Ning Xuan’s fist intent pierced directly through them!
BANG!
As the fist landed, her body exploded!
The entire scene fell silent. Everyone stared with wide eyes.
Even Lin Xihua, who had been hiding inside the sedan chair, rushed out disheveled, staring blankly at Ning Xuan.
Among my eight maidservants, Qinqin’s Martial Arts Cultivation is ranked fourth! Yet she couldn’t even take a single punch! Damn it, could this be one of the old monsters from the other major families, pretending to be weak to prey on the strong?!
Swallowing hard, Lin Xihua asked Ning Xuan, "Who on earth are you?!"
Ning Xuan did not respond.
"Although there are ten great families in the Cloud Summit Heavenly Palace, our Lin Family ranks among the four top-tier families. You’re wearing a cloak and dare not show your face, so you certainly don’t come from one of the four great families. Let me guess..."
Seeing Ning Xuan remain silent, Lin Xihua began to reason things out.
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out. "He’s from the Mo Family!"
A middle-aged man squeezed through the crowd. He approached Ning Xuan’s group but bowed and scraped before Lin Xihua. "Young Master Lin, the girl beside him lifted her veil a moment ago. I thought she looked familiar but couldn’t place her. After what you just said, it clicked! I’ve seen her in the Mo Family household!"
"He is not!" Mo Xiaoxiao declared, stepping forward before Ning Xuan could react.
"Hehe, he isn’t? Do you dare to remove your cloaks?" the man sneered. He was one hundred percent certain of Mo Xiaoxiao’s identity.
"I..."
"Haha, I knew you wouldn’t dare!"
"Fine, I’ll remove it! Yes, my name is Mo Xiaoxiao, but—"
The middle-aged man cut her off. "So you admit it! In that case—"
CRACK!
Before the man could finish, Ning Xuan crushed his throat. As the man’s eyes bulged, Ning Xuan said coldly, "Don’t you know it’s impolite to interrupt someone when they’re speaking?"
Everyone was numb.
Holy crap! It’s impolite to interrupt someone, but you just killed a man for it without a word. Are *you* being polite?
Mo Xiaoxiao, who had been fuming moments ago, was now beaming. It feels so good to have someone stand up for me! But... he’s my enemy! Her face was a mask of conflict.
Convinced that they were from the Mo Family, Lin Xihua became emboldened again. "So, it’s the Mo Family! How audacious! Do you really think you can disregard my Lin Family?!"
Mo Xiaoxiao was furious. "Are you deaf?! I already told you he’s not from the Mo Family!"
