Vol. 1 - Chapter 58 - Take Care of Her Daughter
After all, both families had wagered everything they owned in Nanli City!
On the arena, the people from the Jiang and Qi families left, leaving only Luo Ruying and Chen Rou.
A barrier rose around the circular stage, covering it entirely.
Fights between cultivators could be very dangerous, even more so for high-ranking ones. When they made a move, it was often earth-shattering and inevitably had some impact around them.
Competitions in the city required extreme caution.
Ning Yechen held Luo Hongye to seats below the arena to watch, and Qi Yuan sat beside him.
Qi Yuan looked worriedly at Luo Ruying standing on the stage, so nervous that she clasped her hands tightly.
Luo Hongye, sitting in her father\'s arms, raised her little head to look at him, her face filled with worry. “Daddy, is Mommy fighting baddies again?”
“Uh-huh. Don\'t worry. Your mother is very strong.” Ning Yechen smiled and rubbed Luo Hongye’s head to comfort her.
He knew his wife very well.
She was capable of killing someone at the peak of the Divine Being realm, let alone someone at the peak of the Human Immortal realm.
Even if something went wrong, no one would discover him if he helped her secretly.
He would never let anything happen to Luo Ruying again.
Sitting beside Ning Yechen, Qi Yuan looked a little guilty.
She hoped Luo Ruying could win, but she was also worried.
If Luo Ruying got injured because of her, she would feel terrible about it.
In the future, she would not know how to face Ning Yechen and Luo Hongye.
On the arena, Chen Rou looked intently at Luo Ruying in front of him, spread his arms open confidently, and smiled. “Come on then. Show me what you\'ve got.”
The moment he finished his sentence, Luo Ruying narrowed her eyes and instantly disappeared in a split second!
All that remained in her place was a faint gold-colored shadow!
“Huh?” When Chen Rou returned to his senses, Luo Ruying had already appeared in front of him, looking at him with cold eyes!
She unsheathed the heavenly sword from her waist, and glorious golden light shined on his face!
It seemed as though everything was going in slow motion. The look of disdain and confidence on Chen Rou’s face transformed into shock as he slowly opened his mouth!
She was incredibly fast!
Considering this speed, was she really at the Human Immortal realm?
Pfftt!
Golden sword light cut through Chen Rou’s body, cutting him diagonally!
Blood instantly spewed everywhere!
Luo Ruying had no intention of wasting the slightest time on Chen Rou. She wanted to end the battle swiftly!
She still had to take care of her daughter!
“Pfft!” Blood spilled from Chen Rou’s mouth. He immediately retreated, putting some distance between them, while throwing out several Heavenly Lightning Primordial Power Pearls!
Heavenly Lightning Primordial Power Pearls were very powerful. Each one contained a massive amount of compressed energy of heavenly lightning.
They were extremely precious!
Their explosive power was enough to slay a cultivator at the Immortal Transformation realm.
And he had used a dozen of them!
He had saved them for a long time, reluctant to use this trump card!
Unexpectedly, this damn woman was so powerful that she forced him to attack her with everything in his arsenal!
Dozens of Heavenly Lightning Primordial Power Pearls surrounded Luo Ruying tightly.
“Heavenly Lightning! Explode!” Chen Rou raised his index and middle fingers and chanted the incantation furiously.
Dozens of Heavenly Lightning Primordial Power Pearls glowed like lightning before instantly exploding!
Despite this, Luo Ruying remained composed as she confidently dealt with the attack by stabbing her heavenly sword into the ground.
Sword energy rippled through the air as a translucent golden shadow enveloped Luo Ruying.
Rumble rumble rumble!
Dozens of Heavenly Lightning Primordial Power Pearls exploded simultaneously with unimaginable force!
The arena was instantly broken into pieces.
The spectators sitting nearby were so scared they retreated far away.
Thick dust surrounded the arena.
Everyone held their breaths and stared at the arena.
Chen Rou clutched his bleeding chest with a smug and sinister smile on his face.
With dozens of Heavenly Lightning Primordial Power Pearls exploding, even if she survived, she would be half dead!
Soon, the dust dissipated. The beautiful Luo Ruying appeared holding her heavenly sword, completely unscathed.
Not even her clothes were damaged, let alone her.
“H-how is that possible?” Chen Rou was bewildered.
She had been surrounded by dozens of Heavenly Lightning Primordial Power Pearls when they exploded. How could she have escaped unscathed!
Below the arena, the Qi family heaved a sigh of relief and were all smiles.
Ning Yechen had been smiling the entire time.
Luo Ruying had more or less recovered. Moreover, the immortal techniques she had mastered were among the best in the Heavenly Realm. Just those silly pearls were not enough to hurt her.
The heavenly sword in her hand glowed gloriously and moved at the speed of light. Even when it was still, it looked elegant and extraordinary!
If Chen Rou were not wearing low-level heavenly armor, he would have been cut into two by the attack at the beginning!
In comparison to the Qi family, the Jiang family was very anxious.
The envoy of the Sacred Lotus Sect was at the peak of the Human Immortal realm. It made no sense for him to be powerless against this woman!
What happened to his confidence? Jiang Li had a gloomy expression.
He had lost his legs forever, and even his reproductive organs were gone.
This made him even more temperamental and cruel.
And he blamed Ning Yechen and his family for all of this!
That day, he had run into them and been delayed. That was why he had encountered assassins and ended up like this!
Before the match, he had spoken to Chen Rou about publicly humiliating Luo Ruying.
But in the end, the woman unexpectedly won one-sidedly!
Chen Rou was no match for Luo Ruying at all!
The Jiang family could not accept this outcome.
Chen Rou finally noticed Luo Ruying’s Goddess Luo Heavenly Sword, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.
It was definitely a heavenly sword!
Otherwise, she could not have cut through his Black Meteor Heavenly Armor effortlessly!
At first, relying on the Black Meteor Heavenly Armor and Heavenly Lightning Primordial Power Pearls, he had been confident he could win easily.
Unexpectedly, the woman possessed a fine heavenly sword!
Chen Rou’s already pale face turned even paler from the blood loss, and his eyes burned with fury.
“Envoy Chen, what are you waiting for? Kill her already!” Jiang Li was so furious that he shouted at Chen Rou.
He had lost everything that mattered to him and his interest in Luo Ruying.
Now, he only wanted to see her dead!
Moreover, this fight was about his family\'s future in Nanli City.
There was no room for mistakes!
Being shouted at by a useless man, Chen Rou turned even gloomier.
After he returned victorious, he would slaughter that idiot Jiang Li!
If Jiang Li had not offended them, he would not have to face Luo Ruying today!
No matter what, he had to win the fight!
A firm look appeared on Chen Rou’s face. He took out a lotus seed from his chest and swallowed it. Then a cold and malevolent smile appeared on his feminine face. “Heeheehee…. You asked for it!”
