Chapter 77

At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on Xu Ziyan. Seeing the power of the talisman just now, Han Yue and Xu Yundong had already guessed that the person who saved them was the one standing before them. Xu Wenli, who understood even more clearly that it was Xu Ziyan who had saved her, was the first to recover from her shock. She clasped her hands and thanked Xu Ziyan:

"Thank you, benefactor, for saving me!"

Hearing Xu Wenli's words, Han Yue and Xu Yundong also hurriedly clasped their hands and bowed, saying, "Thank you, benefactor, for saving us."

Xu Ziyan did not respond, nor did she make any move. Her eyes were fixed tightly on Yang Linglong, and her hands each held five talismans, vigilantly watching every move Yang Linglong made.

The two of them stared at each other. The two middle-aged women who had come with Yang Linglong had already retreated behind her.

After the explosion, heavy snow began to fall again, and a whirlwind carrying snowflakes swirled between the two. Suddenly, with a "pop," the whirlwind carrying the snowflakes shattered into countless threads, and the snowflakes flew in all directions.

The momentum emitted by Xu Ziyan and Yang Linglong collided fiercely, causing both of them to stagger slightly before regaining their balance.

"Who are you?"

Yang Linglong frowned deeply and looked at Xu Ziyan with some curiosity. She really couldn't think of when such a young expert had appeared in the north.

Xu Ziyan did not immediately answer Yang Linglong's question. Instead, she raised an eyebrow and asked lightly, "Yang Linglong?"

"Yes! Who are you really?" The curiosity in Yang Linglong's eyes faded, replaced by a fierce killing intent.

"Xu Ziyan!" Xu Ziyan's tone remained light, but her fighting spirit surged once again.

"Xu Ziyan?"

Yang Linglong was taken aback. This name was too unfamiliar to her. Hearing the name, she knew the person must be from the Xu family in Zhongdu City. But wasn't Xu Tianlang the most accomplished among the young generation of the Xu family? When did a Xu Ziyan appear?

Using her Heavenly Eye to scan Xu Ziyan, she was shocked again, her eyes full of disbelief. The other party... the other party was only at the 11th level of the Later Heaven stage. How could this be? When did someone at the 11th level of the Later Heaven stage have the ability to resist her 5th level of the Qi Condensation stage? Was the world in chaos?

Xu Ziyan steadied her heart, her eyes fixed on Yang Linglong, and she shouted loudly:

"Xu Wenli, Han Yue, I will deal with Yang Linglong. You two deal with the remaining two. Xu Yundong, return to the family immediately and have the patriarch send disciples here quickly!"

"Yes!"

The three of them responded in unison. Han Yue and Xu Wenli's figures flickered, and they stood behind Xu Ziyan, their eyes fixed on the two middle-aged women behind Yang Linglong. They didn't have the confidence to deal with Yang Linglong, but they weren't afraid of dealing with two people at the 3rd level of the Qi Condensation stage, especially Han Yue, who was at the 4th level of the Qi Condensation stage. As long as Han Yue and Xu Wenli worked together, they were sure to defeat the two.

But could Xu Ziyan deal with the genius girl of Nanlin City, Yang Linglong? Han Yue and Xu Wenli had also probed Xu Ziyan's cultivation level and were equally surprised that she was at the 11th level of the Later Heaven stage.

However, the rescue of themselves by Xu Ziyan had just happened before their eyes. At this moment, they understood that it was likely that Xu Ziyan did not have the strength to resist Yang Linglong but was relying on the talismans in her hands. Thus, in the minds of Han Yue and Xu Wenli, a voice simultaneously emerged:

"Leader Ziyan, please carry more talismans. Whether we can survive depends on how many talismans you have!"

At this moment, Yang Linglong's heart gradually calmed down from the shock. She thought the same as Han Yue and Xu Wenli, believing that Xu Ziyan was relying on talismans to resist her 5th level of the Qi Condensation stage. As for why Xu Ziyan had hidden her presence, it must be that she used some talisman to conceal her presence, like the one that teleported Xu Wenli. Moreover, she didn't think that someone at the 11th level of the Later Heaven stage would have many talismans.

Therefore, when she heard Xu Ziyan say she would deal with her, she couldn't help but sneer, raise an eyebrow, and curl her lips slightly, saying disdainfully:

"Deal with me? Can you handle it?"

As Yang Linglong spoke, Xu Yundong had already leaped up and was running towards Zhongdu City.

"Stop him!"

Yang Linglong shouted, leaping up to intercept the fleeing Xu Yundong. Suddenly, a talisman appeared in front of her, instantly bursting into intense flames, forming a huge fireball that blocked her flight path and rushed towards her face.

At this moment, the two middle-aged women behind Yang Linglong also realized they couldn't let Xu Yundong escape. They leaped up and directly rushed towards Xu Yundong.

Han Yue and Xu Wenli wouldn't let them kill Xu Yundong so easily. Their figures flickered, blocking the two women, and their long swords swiftly slashed out. The four of them split into two pairs and immediately engaged in battle.

In the air, Yang Linglong saw the huge fireball about to hit her. She couldn't dodge and didn't want to waste time. She knew her two subordinates would definitely be intercepted by Xu Wenli and Han Yue, and whether they could kill Xu Yundong depended on her.

To save time, Yang Linglong's body suddenly burst into a dazzling golden light, forming a golden light shield that completely enveloped her. Without stopping, she accelerated and directly charged into the huge fireball.

With a loud explosion, the huge fireball shattered, and the sky was like a meteor shower, with sparks flying in all directions. A golden figure swiftly emerged from the fireball and directly pounced towards Xu Yundong, who was gradually disappearing in the snow.

In an instant, Xu Yundong's figure appeared in Yang Linglong's field of vision. Her right hand lightly waved, and a golden short spear whistled towards Xu Yundong's back.

Seeing the short spear about to pierce Xu Yundong's back, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Yang Linglong's mouth, revealing a look of satisfaction.

Suddenly, a soil shield appeared in front of the golden short spear. With a "clang," the soil shield shattered, and the golden short spear also disintegrated. Behind the shattered soil shield, Xu Ziyan's smiling face appeared...

Well, I didn't say anything today! You know what I mean!
