CHAPTER 557: CHAPTER 557: NIGHT RAID

Nan ZaiXu took a sip of red wine, slightly squinted his eyes to savor the aftertaste, and then asked, "Any movements from Mo Buwen and the Flower Demon?"

"Reporting to the Young Master, Mo Buwen and the Flower Demon made no moves. They still think Young Master will act simultaneously with them," Gong Lie said respectfully, bowing his head.

Nan ZaiXu opened his eyes, filled with smugness: "Two fools, trying to snatch the cake from me? By the time they realize, I would have already taken the lead."

"In terms of cultivation, in terms of cunning, how can they be Young Master’s match," Gong Lie said flatteringly.

Though Nan ZaiXu knew Gong Lie was buttering him up, it was pleasing, putting him in a great mood. He picked up the empty glass nearby and poured wine, "Here, have a taste, this fine wine carries the taste of victory."

"Subordinate is crude, not good at wine tasting."

"At least you’re honest. Even if you can’t taste, can you at least pretend?" Nan ZaiXu beckoned, "Come, a toast to our imminent success."

Gong Lie walked over, raised his glass, and clinked it with Nan ZaiXu’s, "Wishing Young Master triumph in every battle."

...

...

Night, twelve o’clock, the moon was bright, the stars sparse.

Under the moonlight, over twenty formidable figures surrounded the villa belonging to Qin Yi in Hidden Dragon Bay. They did not hide their presence, making their intentions clear and bold.

Leading them was Gong Lie, Nan ZaiXu’s trusted henchman.

Gong Lie stepped forward, looking at the villa’s gate, Qi swirling in his palm. He struck out, and the violent force turned into a huge chain, crashing towards the villa’s gate.

However, at that moment, the villa’s gate suddenly opened, and a figure flashed out, raising a hand, vibrant multicolored waves swept out.

Boom!

The two forces collided and exploded with a thunderous crash.

Yun Mengyao stepped out, her eyes coldly watching the shadows under the moonlight outside.

"Who dares to cause trouble here; I’ll chop their heads off,"

Duan Yiyi charged out, wielding a golden blade.

Yun Mengyao pulled her back, her expression grave. These people were not weak in cultivation, especially the leader, whom she couldn’t even gauge, indicating they were no pushover.

"Go inside, protect Xiaobing," Yun Mengyao said softly.

The lowest cultivations among these people were at the mid Foundation Establishment Stage, indicating they were prepared. The most important thing right now was to protect Xia Yanbing.

"I don’t need protection."

Yun Mengyao was shocked, turning to see Xia Yanbing calmly stepped out with a serene expression.

"What are you doing out here? Go back," Yun Mengyao said sternly. Qin Yi had instructed her to take care of Xia Yanbing before he left; how would she explain if anything happened?

Xia Yanbing said indifferently, "With enemies at our doorstep, as Qin Yi’s woman, how could I hide?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Yanbing looked at Gong Lie, "Who are you? Do you know what place this is?"

"You must be Qin Yi’s wife?" Gong Lie’s eyes were sinister, "Do you remember our Five Poison Sect? Back then, Qin Yi killed many of our members. Now that he’s dead, we can’t seek revenge on him, so we’ll kill you instead, as a sort of interest."

Five Poison Sect?

Xia Yanbing recalled that she first discovered Qin Yi as a Qi Refiner because the Blood Evil Sect and Five Poison Sect had kidnapped her.

"If my husband were here, you probably wouldn’t even dare think about revenge, would you?" Xia Yanbing sneered. She remembered clearly how the Blood Evil Sect and Five Poison Sect kidnapped her, only for those people to be slaughtered by Qin Yi.

Gong Lie’s eyes were gloomy, "Enough talk, even if Qin Yi were stronger, he can’t crawl out of the ground now to bite us. As for you all, I’ll send you to reunite with Qin Yi now."

With that, Gong Lie waved his big hand, "Kill them all, leave no one alive."

Swords and blades were unsheathed, glinting coldly under the moonlight. Over twenty people moved in eerie unison, ghosting toward Xia Yanbing and the others.

Yun Mengyao raised her hand, vibrant flowing light swept out.

Boom!

The two cultivators at the late Foundation Establishment Stage at the front were sent flying, coughing blood from their mouths.

"As long as I’m here, I won’t let you act outrageously," Yun Mengyao said coldly.

Gong Lie sneered, "Even with you here, it changes nothing. Anyone associated with Qin Yi must die."

With that, Sword Qi danced across the sword in his hand as he swung it in the air, sending a burst of Sword Qi.

Yun Mengyao’s eyes turned icy, a soft sound, and a pair of vibrant cloud wings unfolded behind her, the light flowing, illuminating the surroundings. With a single flap, feathers shot out like a cold light.

Boom!

The Sword Qi was directly shattered by the feathers.

Yun Mengyao was pushed back two steps, her face grave.

Gong Lie sneered, rising into the air, looking down at Yun Mengyao, "Come, face me in battle."

Yun Mengyao’s face changed slightly, Nascent Soul Stage.

This person was at the Nascent Soul Stage, things were troublesome.

"Yiyi, Hongzhuang, this person is at the Nascent Soul Stage. I am not their match. I will try to hold them back; you think of a way to escape."

A hint of bitterness flashed in Xia Yanbing’s eyes, escape? Escape to where? These people openly came to kill, who in Yinfeng City could protect them?

Duan Yiyi nodded, "Holy Daughter, be careful! I’ve already notified my father, who is on his way to support us. If we manage to escape, it must be to my home."

Yun Mengyao nodded, then rose into the air, engaging Gong Lie in a difficult battle.

"Wan’er, take care of the beautiful ice, leave the rest to me."

Having said that, Duan Yiyi charged out with her golden blade.

Swish!

Sword Qi lashed out like a Poison Snake, hissing through the air towards Duan Yiyi.

Duan Yiyi neither dodged nor evaded, her golden blade erupting with dazzling golden light, the golden Saber Energy quickly spread, forming into a saber shadow tens of meters long, directly slashing down on the opponent.

Boom!

As the Sword Qi got close, the Death Replacement Talisman activated magnificently. Purple ripples surged, directly shattering the Sword Qi.

The Death Replacement Talisman on Duan Yiyi had been destroyed by Murong Qianxun at Vermilion Bird Mountain, but the current Death Replacement Talisman was arranged by Qin Yi before he left. Not only that, Qin Yi upgraded the Death Replacement Talismans on everyone’s body before leaving.

Poof!

Blood splattered, the opponent was a late Foundation Establishment Stage Qi Refiner. Seeing their Sword Qi shattered by a purple ripple, they were momentarily dazed. However, in a battle between experts, there can be no distraction; even the slightest misstep can determine life or death. Moreover, Duan Yiyi executed a tremendously powerful Shura Slash.

Duan Yiyi’s strike directly disemboweled the opponent, nearly splitting them in half, entrails spilling everywhere, the blood gushed like a fountain, extremely gruesome.

The two foundation establishment cultivators wanting to rush forward were terrified, turning to flee instinctively.

Duan Yiyi was momentarily stunned, her heart stirring wildly. She hadn’t expected to disembowel the opponent, nearly vomiting at the sight of the blood and entrails. But at the same time, it thrilled her; the Death Replacement Talisman her little husband arranged was truly formidable.

"You bastards, daring to cause trouble at my little husband’s place, watch me chop you into eight pieces." Duan Yiyi charged forward with her blade.

"Wan’er, take care of Bingbing, I’m going to help." Lin Hongzhuang dashed out with the Netherflame Stick.
