Chapter 2044: Chapter 2044: Overestimating Oneself
Mu Yan instantly threw herself into Xu Nian’s arms, burying her head fiercely into his chest.
Tears flowed uncontrollably, unwilling to let go for a long time.
Xu Nian tenderly rubbed Mu Yan’s head and held her tightly.
Although there was no earth-shattering story between him and Mu Yan, the first time they met, Mu Yan gave herself to him and remained true to herself thereafter.
Just for this, Xu Nian would not disappoint her.
Moreover, after spending time together, Xu Nian’s affection for her greatly increased, so now, in his heart, Mu Yan was no different from other women.
"Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, no one can hurt you." Xu Nian said gently.
Only then did she stop crying, nodding sweetly.
"It’s really wonderful to see you, husband; I thought I’d never see you again." Mu Yan revealed a sweet smile.
She was originally a gentle and beautiful woman, and her smile at this moment exuded a charm that overshadowed all flowers.
"Wait for me a moment, I’ll take care of them, then we can have a good chat." Xu Nian said with a smile.
Then he turned to look at the group in black robes, his eyes instantly showing a fierce killing intent.
Especially the leading man in black robe, who made his killing intent reach its peak.
"Husband, they are from Feisha Palace, be careful." Mu Yan couldn’t help but remind.
Feisha Palace?
Xu Nian smiled slightly, then a look of disdain flashed in his eyes.
"Who are you? Daring to meddle in Feisha Palace’s affairs, are you looking for death?" the leading man in black robe threatened coldly upon seeing Xu Nian looking at him.
"Looking for death? Is Feisha Palace very strong?" Xu Nian asked with a cold smile.
"Our Palace Master is a God King-level expert. If you kill us, the Palace Master won’t spare you." The man in black robe smirked.
After saying that, he looked haughty, as if waiting for Xu Nian to be surprised.
However, Xu Nian was even more disdainful upon hearing this.
Turns out they are just a God King-level power, such a force poses no real threat to him now.
"I’d like to see how Feisha Palace plans to kill me. You dare to harm my woman; even if your Palace Master comes, he can’t save you today." Xu Nian snorted coldly.
With these words, he prepared to make a move.
"Get him, kill him for me." the man in black robe shouted immediately.
At the order of the black robe, several gods attacked Xu Nian all at once.
"Overestimating oneself!"
Xu Nian took a step, and a powerful force instantly erupted.
The Gold Attribute Daluo Heavenly Tao Third Level exploded, transforming into numerous metal swords, instantly killing all these black-robed gods.
These black-robed gods couldn’t even touch the hem of Xu Nian’s clothes before they perished.
"Daluo God?" The God Peak expert’s face turned liver-colored.
Mu Yan beside him was also extremely shocked.
Her husband had actually reached Daluo God Level?
The old woman was even more surprised with widened eyes.
"Senior, spare me." The God Peak expert hurriedly pleaded for forgiveness.
But Xu Nian just snorted coldly, a powerful Gold Attribute Divine Power enveloped the black-robed god, directly compressing him into a ball of flesh.
"Ah!"
The god could only let out a miserable cry before he perished.
Mu Yan was dumbfounded.
She felt that this powerful god was like an ant in front of Xu Nian, easily crushed to death.
"Husband, you’re so powerful." Mu Yan exclaimed in amazement as she walked over.
Xu Nian smiled and indulgently took Mu Yan into his embrace.
"Who is this?" Xu Nian asked, pointing at the old woman.
"She is my Master. Husband, do you have any way to save my Master? She has been poisoned with the Soul Extinguishing Divine Needle." Mu Yan said promptly, then quickly ran to the old woman’s side.
Xu Nian also walked to the old woman’s side and carefully examined her.
Although the old woman’s injuries were serious, these wounds were nothing to a god.
The most crucial issue was the poison invading her soul origin, which was being corroded. If delayed any longer, it might be irreversible.
But for Xu Nian, this poison was no difficulty.
His Nine Infant Avatar inherently possessed strong poison resistance, and this level of poison posed no harm to him.
"I can save her, rest assured." Xu Nian said to Mu Yan, assuring her.
He then activated the innate divine ability of the Nine Infant Avatar to forcibly extract the poison from the old woman’s divine soul origin.
Fortunately, the old woman was at the God Level; if she were at the Daluo God Level, it would have been more challenging for him.
As the poison was extracted, the old woman’s divine soul instantly recovered remarkably.
"Master, are you alright?" Mu Yan asked as she approached her master who had regained her composure.
"I’m fine, thanks to this friend for the rescue." The old woman said, looking at Xu Nian.
"No need to thank me; you are Mu Yan’s Master, and saving you is what I should do." Xu Nian said indifferently, showing no goodwill in his eyes towards the elder.
He had heard what the old woman had said earlier.
The old woman had actually tried to force Mu Yan to marry someone else. If it wasn’t for Mu Yan acknowledging her as her master, Xu Nian would have killed her long ago.
Naturally, the old woman felt Xu Nian’s cold gaze, smiling awkwardly.
"Master, he’s my husband Xu Nian, whom I’ve been telling you about. He’s now at Daluo God Level." Mu Yan said with a smile.
"Quite impressive, may I know which sect you are from?" the old woman asked Xu Nian, smiling.
"I am a Loose Cultivator." Xu Nian replied coldly.
"I see. I heard that it’s been less than three hundred years since you ascended. How did you reach the Daluo God Level?" A trace of curiosity flashed in the old woman’s eyes.
"Are you asking too much?" Xu Nian retorted with a cold snort, a hint of iciness in his eyes.
The old woman was stunned, feeling a chilling sensation on her back.
At that moment, she could clearly feel Xu Nian’s killing intent.
Remembering the decisive and ruthless scene of Xu Nian earlier, she immediately understood that this person in front of her was not someone to be trifled with.
She had originally wanted to probe the secret of this person’s rapid cultivation.
But unexpectedly, the other party was so decisive, showing her no courtesy at all.
"Mu Yan, let’s go. Follow me, Zhao Yanyun is still waiting for us there." Xu Nian said.
"Sister Yanyun is also here?" Mu Yan immediately rejoiced.
"Yes, she’s here too." Xu Nian replied with a smile.
"Master, I’ll go with my husband for a bit, you find a place to rest." Mu Yan said immediately.
She also realized the discord between Xu Nian and her master, so naturally, she wouldn’t have her master accompany them.
"Go, come back soon." The old woman waved her hand.
Mu Yan was delighted, hugging Xu Nian’s arm as they exited the alley.
The old woman, watching the departing figures in the alley, gradually had her eyes turn icy.
