She barely managed to dodge it, while Yang Xiao also rescued the Chamber of Commerce man affected by the attack.
Now there’s no choice; they can’t abandon Jiang Qingluan. The Yi Sect’s favor is one thing, but the key is that Jiang Qingluan is useful alive.
Nalan Shuo understood that this girl had a good relationship with Yang Xiao, and once she rises to a high position within the Yi Sect in the future, it would greatly benefit Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao is still young; he’s different from someone like me who’s halfway to the grave. His journey is still long, and the risks he faces are numerous. He needs a strong support.
Yi Sect is a major power within the country, even stronger than the Upper Three Bookshops. Protecting Jiang Qingluan today is akin to insuring Yang Xiao’s future.
The people of Yi Sect have a good reputation in the world of martial arts; they repay kindness and avenge grudges. With what happened today, even if Yang Xiao saved Jiang Qingluan twice, the Yi Sect won’t forget this favor.
A fleeting thought was enough for Nalan Shuo to know what he should do today.
"Go protect her on the side, I’ll find an opportunity," Nalan Shuo pushed Yang Xiao, signaling him to protect Jiang Qingluan.
"What about you?" Yang Xiao was quite clear about the inside-out relationship concerning Nalan Shuo and Jiang Qingluan.
"Me? I’m quite strong, just keep an eye on the girl and perform well," leaving behind a sentence that seemed inexplicable, Nalan Shuo left Yang Xiao and actively looked for a chance to strike. ƒreewebɳovel.com
Although it’s challenging for him to find an opportunity to kill the fisherman, similarly, the opponent won’t easily kill him in a few moves either.
Nalan Shuo had always been a formidable Ghost-level Apostle, and after acquiring the Ancestor’s Dragon Scale Armor and being healed of old injuries by the Yi Sect, his combat strength reached a new level.
If he had this treasure before, he would have already claimed the head of the Evil Mage Xiang Fengchen, there wouldn’t have been room for him to be so arrogant.
The previous attacks were all probing for the fisherman, but now the medicine’s effects were fully absorbed, and his entire spiritual power was boiling.
He had never experienced such a feeling before, as if he could unleash storms with a mere wave of his hand, powerful enough to be the enemy of the entire world.
The rapidly expanding power is not without drawbacks; it’s gradually eroding his body while destroying his sanity, making him increasingly bloodthirsty and violent.
"What are you coming over here for?" Seeing Yang Xiao running over, Jiang Qingluan frowned and asked.
She already knew that the target was her, and now Yang Xiao coming closer would also put him in danger.
Jiang Qingluan also guessed the opponent’s origins; likewise, the clever Yang Xiao naturally guessed it too, "This guy was sent by your own people, the target is only you, stay alert!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the fisherman acted. A dark light flashed across the surface of the oar in his hand, and both Yang Xiao and Jiang Qingluan almost simultaneously dodged. A black death light pierced the spot where Jiang Qingluan stood just a second ago.
After sending out an attack with the Human Bone Staff, Yang Xiao turned to remind Jiang Qingluan, "Use your ability to send me over, quick!"
"I can’t!" Jiang Qingluan responded while retreating.
She indeed couldn’t; her Magic Artifact was different from the Soul-Capturing Mirror, she could only swap positions between two people but couldn’t precisely send someone to a designated location, this was the problem with the Magic Artifact’s capability.
Yang Xiao also felt bitter inside; now the Mirror Ghost was badly injured and had been thrown back to the Mirror World by him. Not long ago, when the Japanese Woman’s space world collapsed, Yang Xiao used the Soul-Capturing Mirror to escape.
Originally, it wouldn’t have been like this, but that Space-type Magical Artifact itself had problems, likely a deteriorating Artifact on the verge of losing control. The cost of escaping was painful too, he overused the Soul-Capturing Mirror’s power, causing issues with the mirror.
Now unless absolutely necessary, Yang Xiao didn’t dare to use it. If at this critical juncture the Artifact backfired, his life would be forfeit.
Yet while he stayed still, the fisherman moved, dragging the old, worn-out oar, charging at them in great strides. The previous attack with the Human Bone Staff was like a child’s play, merely delaying him for less than half a second.
Yang Xiao felt stifled inside; although the Human Bone Staff was useful for long-range attacks, its offensive capability was evidently insufficient. If only he had the chance to get close, swing his arm with full force, and smack this bastard on the back of his head, he wouldn’t let him go until he turned back to infancy.
"Throw a rope to block him, buy me some time!"
Yang Xiao controlled the Ghost Lantern to shoot at the fisherman’s Conical Hat, blinding that Ghost Eye first, then horizontally setting up the Ring-Headed Saber to lay a trap on the fisherman’s path, leaving an invisible blade to the naked eye.
Yang Xiao has used this trick to force many adversaries into a self-destructive stance.
