Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Fellow cultivator, do you know where this mysterious woman is right now?” An Lin walked over to him and joined his hands in a salute.
The man furrowed his brows lightly. What is this fellow cultivator title? Shouldn’t you refer to others as your fellow comrade?
He didn’t think too much and only regarded him as his daughter’s friend. “I only know that she was last seen flying toward the eastern direction of the Da Zhou Nation, but no one knows exactly where she is.”
“Thank you.” An Lin nodded and turned to Bai Shuyan with a smile. “I have some urgent business to attend to, I have to go now.”
“Farewell, Senior An Lin!” Bai Shuyan already had a rough idea of what this urgent business could be and didn’t make an attempt to keep him.
A black brick suddenly appeared underfoot, and An Lin flew into the sky, straight into the clouds.
“This is… Item Kinesis Flight! My God, this is a technique only powerful warriors above Battle King rank can master!” The man exclaimed in shock before turning his gaze upon his daughter, “Little Yan, is he your friend?”
Bai Shuyan looked up at the receding figure in the sky and shook her head a little wistfully. “No… We’re just acquaintances who have only just met…”
…
An Lin flew into the air atop his giant brick toward the Da Zhou Nation.
He was extremely excited. He had initially thought that he was the only one that had transmigrated to this strange dimension, but now there was a new mysterious woman.
If the woman really was Su Qianyun, then perhaps everyone else was also on this continent!
He accelerated further with this in mind.
The Da Zhou Nation was currently in a state of turmoil.
Almost all the powerful warriors in the imperial palace were out of commission, and a few large sects had risen up to take advantage of the situation. Some of them wanted to usher in a new dynasty while others were contacting powerful warriors from the neighboring nations to hunt down the mysterious woman responsible for all this turmoil.
However, in an alarming twist, the three squads they had sent out to hunt down the woman were all killed, and there were even four Battle Emperors among them.
This event shocked the Ao Xin Empire to the core. One had to realize that Battle Emperors were extremely powerful warriors even in the context of the whole empire. For them to be picked off like this in rapid succession was simply a terrifying notion.
Even the Ao Xin Empire was forced to deploy powerful warriors for the fourth squad.
There was no other way around it. The king of one of their affiliate states had been killed and the whole thing had become a worldwide spectacle. They had to kill the perpetrator in order to put an end to all this and show the world that the Ao Xin Empire was not to be messed with.
The Sect Leader of the Yellow Draong Sect, Duan Muyun; the Sect Leader of the Qian Ji Sect, Dong Tian; the Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Flower Sect, Kong Ling; the king of the Yan Chen Nation, Ding Mao; and the special ambassador from the Ao Xin Empire, Duan Tianyu comprised the fourth squad. The five of them were all Battle Emperors.
Especially worthy of note was that Duan Tianyu was a Semi-Battle Sage rank warrior. As soon as they found their target, they would kill her on the spot!
They soon discovered their target.
The target had caught a rabbit and was roasting it over some flames.
The target had overcooked the rabbit so it was now charred black.
A series of information was delivered to them by their intelligence officers, and the five of them quickly made their way to the scene.
The bright moon hung high in the sky.
There was a campfire within a green forest.
A woman with exquisite features was staring blankly at a charred rabbit.
She missed Xiao Yue, she missed Sister Chang’e, she missed all her family and friends.
The past few days had been like a nightmare for her.
No, not even her nightmares had ever been so frightening.
She was in an unfamiliar world with no one to rely on.
She had thought that she had encountered a kindhearted man, but she knew she was wrong when she saw the lust in his eyes. Although she was a bit clueless at times, that didn’t mean she was stupid. She was able to discern right from wrong, and she knew how to read between the lines.
Thus, she chose to leave, but the man tried to use spell techniques to forcefully keep her and do horrendous things to her… In the end, she had killed him in a fit of rage.
It was exactly due to her actions there that she was plunged into a world of trouble.
The man she had killed seemed to be quite important, and she was soon pursued by warriors from all sides.
There was no end to them. If she killed one group, another more powerful group would come chasing after her.
It seemed like they would not give up until she was dead.
She felt like the whole world was her enemy.
She raised her head to look up into the sky. The bright moon hung in the darkness but its light did nothing to warm her heart. The chilly night plunged her into despair, and her nose wrinkled with sadness as she whispered to herself, “What should I do…”
Rumble…
A powerful aura swept toward her from afar.
She stood up and tossed the charred rabbit onto the ground as a grave expression appeared on her porcelain-like face.
Was this the next group?
There were five this time, and all of them had powerful auras…
“Hahaha… Demonic woman, you won’t escape this time.”
A thunderous voice erupted in the air, and Duan Tianyu descended from the sky with the other four Battle Emperors.
She didn’t have a clue what Duan Tianyu was saying, but she could tell that Duan Tianyu seemed to be quite pleased with himself.
He faltered slightly as he took in Su Qianyun’s exquisite features. A thought suddenly welled up in his heart. Should he take her captive? Maybe have some fun before killing her?
But in the next instant, a blue disc suddenly tore through the air and instantly sliced Duan Muyun’s body in half. He wasn’t afforded any time to react and a shocked expression still lingered on his face after his death.
Duan Tianyu gasped in shock. If one didn’t face this opponent head-on, they wouldn’t be able to comprehend just how uncanny her power was. He couldn’t even detect the slightest hint of Battle Qi!
“Get into formation!” he immediately roared.
Now wasn’t the time to lust for his opponent. If he wasn’t careful, they would all die here.
Dong Tian, Kong Ling, and Ding Mao were also greatly startled by Duan Muyun’s death, but they were all extremely experienced Battle Emperor rank warriors, and they soon regained their composure and formed a Four Dragons Lightning Formation.
It was originally the Five Dragons Lightning Formation but the death of Duan Muyun reduced it to only four.
Boom!
Battle Qi erupted all around them and lightning exploded in the sky.
The four of them stood in formation with Duan Tianyu at the forefront and instantly elevated him to Battle Sage rank power. His boosted aura whipped up gale-force winds around him that tore the trees within a thousand feet radius out of the ground.
The woman stood with her head held high, and the blue Moonlight Disc created a film of light around her, resisting the wind and lightning.
She could feel that she had been trapped in a huge spell formation and the winds and lightning were only growing in power…
Duan Tianyu wielded a crimson longsword and pointed it at Su Qianyun. “This is the Four Dragons Lightning Formation. It’s able to give even a Battle Sage a hard time, so prepare to meet your maker!”
He looked down and was hoping to see fear and shock in her expression so he could flex to her, but he was greeted by the sight of a blue crescent of light.
The hairs on the back of Duan Tianyu’s neck stood on end as he immediately gathered part of the formation’s energy into his sword and slashed down toward the Moonlight Disc.
Boom!
A terrifying explosion of energy ensued, and the ground below them trembled and quaked.
The Moonlight Disc collided with the sword, and a crack appeared in the blade of the sword.
Duan Tianyu was knocked back several steps before he managed to steady himself.
“Four Dragons Strike!”
A shocked expression appeared on his face, and he didn’t waste any more time as he immediately resorted to the spell formation’s his most powerful technique.
Meanwhile, Dong Tian, Kong Ling and Ding Mao were all making seals with their hands and circulating their Battle Qi frantically.
Bolts of lightning began to explode through the air.
Soon, four lightning dragons tore through the clouds and descended onto the world.
The woman looked up at the four lightning dragons and felt the vast energy imbued within them. She immediately summoned her Moonlight Disc to her side and set up a blue moonlight barrier around herself.
“Die!” Duan Tianyu pointed his crimson longsword at Su Qianyun from afar.
The four lightning dragons descended from the sky with unstoppable force before crashing into Duan Tianyu and the others.
Boom!
The lightning exploded outwards, lighting up the night and pulverizing the ground below.
Su Qianyun stared at the scenes unfolding in front of her as an expression of shock appeared on her face for the very first time.
This was the first time she had been shocked by Duan Tianyu during the course of this battle.
After all, one would not usually see someone use his own finishing technique on himself every day.
A man in black then descended from the sky before landing on the ground.
“Su Qianyun, I knew it was you!”
The familiar and excited voice sent tremors running through her body.
She stared blankly at the man in front of her as she chewed tightly down on her lower lip and tears began to well up in her eyes.
Her emotions gushed forth like floodwaters breaking through a dam. Her feet began to move of their own accord, and she spread her arms open wide before enveloping the man before her in a tight hug.
“Wah… thank God you’re here, I was so scared, I thought I was the only person left in this world, waaah…” Su Qianyun wept with all her might.
She hadn’t cried like this for a long time. Tears flowed down relentlessly on her porcelain-like face, but she didn’t dare wipe them away with her hands. She was too afraid that the man would disappear like an illusion if she were to release him.
The man was, of course, none other than An Lin. He patted Su Qianyun’s back gently as he basked in the fragrant scent emanating from her silky locks. “Don’t be scared, I’m here now.”
