Chapter Thirty-Three: Pursuing and Killing to the End

  Xiao Zongguan roared in anger, Jiang Nan forced him back a step, for him it was an unbearable humiliation, a proud Hún Yuán realm expert, was actually forced back by a Lian Qi realm young whippersnapper, if this got out to the Second Prince, his position would be imperiled!

  However, no matter how he counterattacked, he was unable to suppress the trend of decline, and instead, the power transmitted from Jiangnan's hand grew stronger and more fierce, causing him to retreat step by step, making it increasingly difficult for him to resist!

  "Those with the surname Jiang, I must say you're indeed very strong, but wanting to surpass our family is still far from enough!"

  Xiao Zongguan's face was full of anger, and he said fiercely: "Our family has cultivated the Mixed Yuan, refined the air into a canopy, and used the canopy to support ourselves. The strength of our body is like iron, and it will not be broken even if we are beaten to death. You can't beat us in a battle of endurance!"

  In the south, in his heart, he was indeed as he said, simply an unbreakable copper pea, his body under the blessing of the halo, extremely hard, and no one could break his halo, let alone defeat him.

  "My strength may surpass his, but true energy is still not as good as gang energy, and it's still impossible to truly compare with gang energy."

  Jiang Nan has a deep understanding of this point. The reason why his true energy quality is so strong is that he cultivates the magical and mysterious technique of Mo Yu Xuan Tai Jing, and also cultivates the Ming Wang Shen Yin, tempering his spiritual will, making his true energy condensation degree far surpass that of ordinary people.

  But true energy is still true energy, and compared with evil energy, there is still a significant gap.

  However, Xiao Zongguan's words about exhausting himself didn't intimidate him in the least: "I possess the Sheli Lingdan and have a large quantity of medicinal pellets. Ten of him wouldn't be enough to exhaust me. But this guy is one of Er Huangzi's people; if we continue fighting, it'll drag on for too long. We need to end this quickly!"

  "Dragon fishing turtle!"

  Jiangnan's true energy stirred, and he brought out the seventh form of the Dragon-Tiger Elephant Fist, a move that required one to have achieved inner circulation to fully display its might. Although it had some power now, using it against Xiao Zongguan, a high-ranking mixed yuan master, was somewhat insufficient.

  "There's a flaw!"

  Xiao Zongguan's eyes lit up, and he immediately discovered the flaw in Jiangnan's move. He couldn't help but feel great joy, and with a loud whoop, he charged forward, his hands grasping towards Jiangnan's chest as he laughed loudly: "Young Master Jiang, you're still a bit too green..."

  His claws had not yet grasped Jiangnan's chest when suddenly he saw Jiangnan's move change abruptly, his true energy like a python, opening its big mouth to wait fiercely for him to fall into the net, and his heart was shocked.

  In the south, cultivation has reached the realm of refining energy, and true energy can already be transformed into shape, revealing its form. This move, "Dragon Fishing for Turtles", is precisely showing weakness to the enemy, luring them in, waiting for the enemy to take the bait, and then at that moment, the evil dragon will appear, ferocious and sinister, waiting to devour flesh and blood, it is the most ruthless and insidious strike!

  "Dragon catches turtle, and it's you this old turtle! See how I break your protective aura!"

  Jiang Nan burst into a loud roar, his palms like the head of an evil alligator, opening wide his bloody great mouth, sharp teeth interlocking, extremely ferocious. Xiao Zongguan was greatly shocked in his heart and hastily retreated at high speed, but at this moment he only saw Jiang Nan's move fall, the dragon's wail transmitted, the alligator's big mouth fiercely biting over, leaving him nowhere to hide, and he couldn't help but secretly exclaim "This is terrible".

  As this move landed, Xiao Zongguan couldn't help but pause for a moment. Jiangnan's move was fierce and unmatched, extremely cunning and sinister, with no way to dodge. He had originally thought it was a fatal blow, but he didn't expect that this move actually didn't have much power and didn't even hurt him. The power wasn't even as strong as the moves Jiangnan used before.

  "It's all right, he hasn't mastered this move yet..."

  He had just thought of this, when suddenly Jiang Nan burst in, like a giant elephant rushing forward, charging straight ahead, and with one step, the momentum was pushed to the limit. The true energy rubbed against the air, making an elephant-like sound, and a palm print heavily imprinted on his chest!

  "This time is bad, missed the first opportunity!"

  Xiao Zongguan let out a loud roar, using all his might to urge on the Hunyuan Tongzi Gong. With this strike, he finally understood the purpose of Jiangnan's unfinished move - the purpose of the Dragon Snatching Turtle was to make him retreat, to put him at a disadvantage!

  "We can't retreat, for if we do, he will be like a fierce tiger descending from the mountain and a dragon emerging from the depths!"

  A loud crash came, Xiao Zongguan's body shook violently, his eyebrows and beard flew in the air, yet he didn't retreat a single step, stubbornly blocking Jiangnan's fierce and overbearing blow. His face suddenly turned red, his aura churning and colliding inside him, but he also blocked the offensive of Shenxiang Tushan.

  The strength of Lianqi Chenggang can be seen in this move. If he can withstand Jiangnan's attack, there is still a chance for him to turn the tables!

  "Bring it on! He can't break my aura!"

  Boom!

  The divine elephant's second strike followed immediately, Jiangnan's clothes fluttered, his black hair danced wildly, one foot kicked out, as if even the mountain could be kicked flying. Xiao Zongguan barely withstood this strike, his pale face suddenly turned crimson, and he finally couldn't help but retreat a step back.

  He retreated, and the momentum of Jiangnan became even stronger. The divine elephant trampled the mountain with this move, using its impact force to enhance its technique. The farther away it was, the stronger the impact force would be. With Xiao Zong's retreat, his defeat was already sealed!

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  Two men, one explosive retreat and one tight pursuit. Only the sound of huge footsteps and collisions came, the earth violently shook and fluctuated. Every time they collided, mud and rocks flew everywhere, as if two giant beasts were fighting to the death, causing the surrounding Medicine King's experts to change color in fright.

  Neither Xiao Zongguan nor Jiangnan were particularly robust, on the contrary, both of them were somewhat slender. Jiangnan was delicate and seemed weak, while Xiao Zongguan appeared lean and agile. It's hard to imagine that such a tremendous power could burst out from their small bodies!

  "Protective aura, shatter for me!"

  Jiang Nan's fierce blow struck the last fatal hit on Xiao Zongguan's chest, causing him to spit out blood. The surging aura inside his body was finally shattered by Jiang Nan, leaving him shocked and terrified. He immediately turned around and ran away, shouting loudly: "Jiang Zikuan, you killed Mu Qin'nan, then the four slaves of the Second Prince, and now even our own family is going to be killed! You are extremely cruel and evil! This time when I return, I will personally report this to the Second Prince and see how you die!"

  "How am I supposed to die? You go ahead and die once for me to see!"

  Jiang Nan sprang up and charged towards Xiao Zongguan, the two of them one in front of the other, their figures flashing through the air as they rapidly closed in.

  "Did Jiangnan kill off Qin Nan? And also killed four eunuchs of the Second Prince?"

  Yue Feng was stunned, suddenly awakened from this astonishing news, and saw Jiang Nan chasing after Xiao Zongguan. He hastily shouted: "Stop them! Don't let them decide life and death! If either of them dies, we'll be in trouble!"

  The many young men of the Medicine King's Manor were shocked in their hearts and rushed after the two, but Jiang Nan and Xiao Zongguan's movements were extremely fast, and these people were also powerless to stop them.

  Yue Feng's cultivation was also extremely high, having already formed the Hunyuan stage. His physical skills were extremely fast, and with a swift movement, he inserted himself between the two men, his body as agile as a swallow. He cupped his hands in greeting and said: "Brother Jiang, when you can spare someone's life, please do so for my sake..."

  Sigh——

  Jiang Nan's body technique unfolded, like a slippery dragon swimming through the air, drawing an arc in mid-air as he bypassed him and continued to chase after Xiao Zongguan.

  Yue Feng was stunned: "Good kung fu!"

  He exhausted his strength and fell from mid-air, ready to pursue Jiang Nan and Xiao Zongguan again. However, he saw that Xiao Zongguan had already been knocked down by Jiang Nan from mid-air. The shocking scene of the two men fighting was like two ferocious wild beasts rolling and colliding with each other, crashing into a garden in the Medicine King's mansion, where rows and rows of trees fell down.

  "Jiang Zikuan, you dare to kill our family's second master..."

  Xiao Zongguan's sharp voice came from the garden, and then suddenly stopped, without a sound.

  Yue Feng's face suddenly changed, he stopped in his tracks, and silently cursed in his heart: "This time I'm done for..."

  Jiang Nan walked out of the garden slowly, and Yue Feng saw that he was still as calm as if nothing had happened. He couldn't help but stamp his foot repeatedly and said: "Brother Jiang, you've made a mistake this time! Since you've already won, why not let him off? Why must you pursue and kill him to the end? Now that you've killed Xiao Zongguan, the Second Prince will definitely not let it go!"

  Jiang Nan smiled and said, "Elder brother Yue is magnanimous, I admire him. However, I have never offended the Second Prince, yet he sent someone to kill me. Do you think if I let General Xiao off, he will let things drop?"

  Yu Feng sighed repeatedly, unsure of what to say was good.

  "How did Your Highness find time to come to my Medicine King's Manor?"

  In the rear garden of the Imperial Palace, Yue Ling'er and Su Che walked side by side on the floating bridge. Although it was deep winter at this time, the rear garden of the palace was still warm as spring, with flowers blooming in profusion and fragrance wafting everywhere.

  Yue Ling'er smiled and said, "Second Prince, my father is currently in seclusion, breaking through the Divine Realm boundary, and has no time to receive you. Please forgive him. The Fourth Imperial Son is also in my mansion, but he is also in seclusion. I estimate that it won't be long before he comes out of seclusion."

  Su Che's eyes flashed with a cold light, then returned to normal, and he smiled warmly: "Fourth brother closed the door and didn't see Xiao Wang, it was also reasonable. Xiao Wang is looking forward to meeting fourth brother again and having a reunion."

  Yue Ling'er wore a red dress, her beauty was like a flame, and she smiled: "Your Highness doesn't know that recently, our Medicine King's Manor has had an honored guest, who is my lifesaver. His name is Jiang Nan, he can be considered a young and talented hero, his cultivation is deep, and he is also a master of alchemy. Why don't I introduce him to you?"

  "Jiangnan?"

  A hint of a killing intent flashed in Su Che's eyes, and he thought to himself: "I invited you to the imperial palace precisely to kill this person, so that you wouldn't go and stop him."

  He smiled warmly and said, "Little Wang also wants to meet this young hero, but Ling Mei, you and I are currently strolling leisurely, we should be talking about romantic things, mentioning outsiders would spoil the atmosphere."

  He looked at the girl beside him with a hint of appreciation, thinking to himself: "Fourth brother must have also taken a liking to the daughter of the Medicine King and entered the Medicine King's mansion in order to win her heart and gain the support of the Duke. What a clever plan! However, with me around, his plans will come to naught. Fourth brother, this time I won't just kill your beloved general, but also snatch away Yue Ling'er's heart, making you suffer a crushing defeat with no chance of turning things around! As for Xiao Zongguan, he should have already killed Qi Zichuan by now... killing a mere Qi Refining stage child is naturally an easy task for him, after all, he has reached the Mixed Yuan stage..."
