Chapter 85: Strike Her, Stab Her, Beat Her

“Since this is a competition, let’s keep it to a minimum!”

Nan Gong Xiu felt an immense pain in her heart.

In this match, she had expected her daughter to easily defeat and kill Chen Ansheng, but unexpectedly, the result was the exact opposite; her daughter was almost killed.

Nan Gong Xiu knew her daughter’s personality well; this defeat would undoubtedly bring her an unparalleled humiliation that could completely destroy her…

“A good point to stop!”

Chen Ansheng, caught up in killing intent, confronted Nan Gong Xiu, who was at the Celestial Immortal Realm.

“If I were the one to lose today, you wouldn’t announce a point to stop, would you!”

Hearing this, Nan Gong Xiu’s anger and killing intent could no longer be suppressed, “Chen Ansheng, you are too arrogant!”

Boom!

Without warning, Nan Gong Xiu slapped out.

“Nan Gong Xiu, how can you be so shameless, daring to break the rules and attack a junior? Do you believe I, Yao Qingtian, am dead?!”

Yao Qingtian had been keeping an eye on Nan Gong Xiu, and as soon as she attacked, he rushed out and seized her hand.

“Two of you, we remain in danger; how can you fight amongst yourselves!”

The other two cave masters and several elders also flew to the scene to intervene.

On the ground, Ji Ziling was disheveled, covered in blood, with a somewhat twisted expression: “Mother, kill him, help me kill him… wuwu…”

At this point, Ji Ziling’s murderous intent had still not diminished; even if Chen Ansheng were a clay figurine, he couldn’t stand it.

Taking advantage of the distraction while the other cave masters were dealing with Nan Gong Xiu, Chen Ansheng swiftly charged toward Ji Ziling.

Just as he moved, Yao Jianyuan also acted, lunging directly at Ji Ziling.

“Slap! Slap! Slap…”

Yao Jianyuan continuously slapped Ji Ziling, causing her to scream and curl up like a dog.

Chen Ansheng then punched Ji Ziling in the chest repeatedly; after venting, he coalesced a celestial energy sword and brutally stabbed it through her abdomen.

“Ah…”

The shadow of death loomed over her.

From childhood, she had been the cherished daughter of her parents, a proud girl of Qian Yue Cave that no one dared to provoke.

And today, not only had she been publicly defeated by a lowly miner, but she was also brutally beaten, falling into the risk of death.

In this moment, she felt an unparalleled regret and lamented her previously arrogant disposition.

“Senior Brother Murong… save me, please save me…”

In this moment of crisis, Ji Ziling instinctively began to call out Murong Yan’s name.

This shout further provoked Yao Jianyuan.

Back then, Yao Jianyuan had an engagement with Ji Ziling; as she matured, she used that connection to extract resources and benefits from him. When out on training, Ji Ziling was impulsive and reckless, and Yao Jianyuan had saved her multiple times at the cost of his life.

Later, Yao Jianyuan discovered that Ji Ziling had long been involved with Murong Yan, and all the resources she had obtained from him were given to that scoundrel.

Upon realizing the truth, Yao Jianyuan nearly went mad, his will shattered and his mental state became somewhat unstable.

Later still, Ji Ziling not only felt no shame but also came to Yao Jianyuan to withdraw their engagement, claiming he was too inferior and unworthy of her, refusing to repay any of the benefits she had gained!

This brought immense shame to the Yao family.

As Ji Ziling’s mother, Nan Gong Xiu not only did not blame her but instead supported her disgraceful behavior.

Because of this, Bi Yan Cave and Qian Yue Cave became irreconcilable.

“I let you be disgraceful, I let you be lowly!”

Yao Jianyuan repeatedly slapped Ji Ziling, venting his pent-up rage.

Seeing her daughter being beaten and pierced through the abdomen by a sword, Nan Gong Xiu had completely lost control.

Boom!

Her Celestial Immortal Realm power erupted recklessly, forcing back the three similarly ranked cave masters.

“Chen Ansheng, Yao Jianyuan, you beasts dare to lay a hand on my daughter!”

Boom!

She slammed her palm forward, the violent palm shadow filled with celestial might bore down on the two.

At that moment, among the over ten thousand disciples, a beautiful female disciple suddenly stood up, her eyes filled with killing intent.

“Vile woman, seeking death!”

The woman initially intended to evade and strike down Nan Gong Xiu, but the three cave masters had already acted and blocked Nan Gong Xiu’s attack.

Seeing this, the woman sat back down, suppressing the impulse to kill Nan Gong Xiu.

At the same time, elite disciples and elders from the two caves arrived, confronting each other.

“Jianyuan, Chen kid, back off!”

Yao Qingtian stepped in front of the two and reprimanded lightly.

He understood that Nan Gong Xiu regarded her daughter as more important than her own life.

If Ji Ziling were to die by their hands today, a bloody battle was inevitable, and once it started, both sides would suffer countless casualties, blood flowing like rivers.

To maintain the greater good, Yao Qingtian stopped the two.

After being halted, Yao Jianyuan became much clearer-headed and recognized the consequences of killing Ji Ziling.

“Haha, Brother Chen, I just enjoyed slapping that vile woman! Did you enjoy it?” Yao Jianyuan looked at Chen Ansheng.

“Not bad, it’s more satisfying than killing her in one strike!” Chen Ansheng calmed down as well, thinking to himself, killing her would be a momentary thrill. It is far more satisfying to let her live in pain and torment for a lifetime!

“What are you doing? Don’t move!”

“Who dares to act recklessly!”

The disciples on both sides shouted at each other, tensions rising.

“Hmph, Nan Gong Xiu, I advise you to calm down and quickly take your daughter to heal; otherwise, she will truly be beyond saving.”

Yao Qingtian said faintly.

“Hehe, good, very good.”

Nan Gong Xiu reluctantly retracted her celestial energy, her demeanor appearing extremely calm.

She squatted down, picked up the bloodied Ji Ziling, and immediately took out healing pills to feed her.

While the turmoil here seemed to reach a conclusion, another situation arose outside the ancestral land.

Under the dark sky, Mo Wu, being at the peak of the Celestial Immortal Realm, fought against a black giant bird but was ultimately overwhelmed and fell.

“Ah!”

The giant bird seemed to sense the ancestral land, diving down with dark lightning straight towards the ancestral land.

“Not good! Everyone, quickly defend!”

Boom!

The giant bird crashed into this small realm, and its bizarre laws tore the spatial restrictions, allowing dark energies to flood in.

“Are you all waiting to die? Follow me and attack that monstrous bird!”

Yao Qingtian shouted, and the other three caves responded.

There was no choice; once this small realm was breached, everyone would die. Even those who were reluctant to act had to join in.

Even Nan Gong Xiu, who was furious to the point of near insanity, could only leave Ji Ziling in the care of two elders and many disciples and charge out with the other three cave masters.

“You two brats, Ji Ziling’s will has shattered; she will surely fall into a wretched situation thereafter. You two better keep a low profile for now!” Before leaving, Yao Qingtian sent a voice to Yao Jianyuan and Chen Ansheng.

Yao Jianyuan and Chen Ansheng exchanged a knowing smile. They had both calmed down and would not take any more reckless risks, given that Qian Yue Cave had tens of thousands of disciples and some injured Celestial Immortal elders; even if they killed Ji Ziling, they wouldn’t escape themselves.

Three hours later, for some unknown reason, the black giant bird actually retreated back into the cave of the restricted area.

“Ah, it’s so uncomfortable…”

“Neither Zijing nor Mijing can replenish celestial energy, what are we going to do!”

“Senior Brother, I’m running out! Help me!”

The small realm of the ancestral land cracked, with darkness and bizarre laws invading, causing everyone to lose celestial energy.

Chen Ansheng was no exception; he felt like a thirsty mortal about to die.

In desperation, he instinctively searched through his storage bag, trying to find something to replenish his celestial energy.

“Eh? Why has that blood-colored liquid become so clear?”

Upon examining it, Chen Ansheng discovered that the ten jars of blood-colored liquid he had obtained from Li Huaizhen had turned into an incredibly clear spring water.
