#1044 - Nemesis

The Ding family's experts had already appeared within sight.

Jun Wuxie saw that person send out a talisman, clearly to notify others.

Princess Anning was very nervous, involuntarily gripping his clothes tightly.

Jun Wuxie looked down at her and said, "Be gentle, you're about to tear my clothes. What's with the nerves?"

"Hmph, I almost fell for that dead eunuch's trick! Trying to attract our attention and lure us away, luckily I reacted quickly!"

The Ding family expert's cold voice came from the distant sky, echoing across the mountains like thunder.

He quickly arrived, suspended in the high sky, one hand behind his back, looking down at Jun Wuxie and Princess Anning, "One more person, interesting, but just an ant beneath the Great Saint Realm. Are you here seeking death?"

He wanted to laugh, even feeling somewhat surprised.

Over the years, he had seen many bizarre things, but something this outrageous was rare.

A cultivator with such a low cultivation dared to interfere in this matter, opposing their Ding family. He didn't know if he was crazy or just stupid.

"This young lady, judging from the experts around you, you must have some status in Qingzhou," the Ding family expert said with a forceful smile. "With your beauty, it would be a pity to die. As long as you are willing to hand over the sacred medicine and willingly come with us, you might even gain the status of a young master's concubine in my Ding family. In the future, you can enjoy a bright future, power, and wealth. How about it?"

"Scram!"

Princess Anning trembled with anger.

"What did you say?"

The Ding family expert's face instantly darkened. A woman in the Saint King Realm dared to speak to him, a Half-Step Overlord Saint, like that!

His eyes were filled with icy killing intent: "I offered you a way out, but you didn't want it. Since that's the case..."

"Who's offering who a way out?" Jun Wuxie interrupted the Ding family expert, saying, "She told you to scram. If you knew what's good for you and did, that would be your way out. Unfortunately, you seem very stupid, not knowing how to seize the only chance to save your life!"

"Insignificant ant, how dare you shout!"

The Ding family expert was extremely angry. What was happening today? One weakling after another dared to spout nonsense in front of him!

The anger and killing intent in his heart made him not want to waste any more words. His right hand, which was hanging at his waist, reached out, True Energy surging, transforming into a hand that covered the wilderness, grabbing down from the sky.

Roar!

Almost instantly, a roar shook the mountains and rivers, and terrifying sound waves swept out, directly shattering the Ding family expert's hand.

The aura of the desolate wilderness surged, obscuring the sky, covering this area.

The majestic Blood鬃 Lion-Hound Beast King appeared, its two blood-colored eyes staring coldly at the Ding family expert, locking onto him with its aura.

"Blood... Blood鬃 Lion-Hound Beast King!"

The Ding family expert's body trembled, and feeling the terrifying pressure of the Beast King, a chill instantly spread throughout his body.

Once this type of evolved bloodline's exotic beast grew to this level, becoming a Beast King, its bloodline evolution would be very high, and its growth intensity would be extremely terrifying, making it difficult to find an opponent of equal strength.

"This... these... these are all misunderstandings. We just want the sacred medicine. We can exchange it for any resources, or buy it at a high price. We have no malicious intent. What... what I said just now was a joke, don't take it seriously..."

The Ding family expert was terrified, retreating while speaking, trying to find an opportunity to escape.

However, the Blood鬃 Lion-Hound Beast King's aura had locked onto him, leaving no loopholes. Under these circumstances, there was no possibility of escape. Once he acted, he would immediately suffer a devastating blow.

He wanted to stall for time, hoping that his clansmen would arrive. If the five of them joined forces, perhaps there would still be hope of escaping unscathed.

"Misunderstanding? That's not what you said before."

Jun Wuxie, of course, knew what this Ding family expert was planning.

He just wanted to stall for time and wait for his clansmen to come to his aid.

"It's really a misunderstanding. Our Ding family is considered a prominent family in Hanzhou. How could we, these Half-Step Overlord Saints, bully small cultivators beneath the Great Saint Realm? We were just trying to scare you."

In order to stall for time, the Ding family expert forcibly quibbled, lying through his teeth.

"Alright, since that's the case, then I won't kill you."

As Jun Wuxie's voice fell, the Ding family expert revealed a look of joy. Although he doubted the other party's words, it now seemed that continuing to stall for time would not be a problem.

Just as he was feeling happy, the Blood鬃 Lion-Hound Beast King howled and pounced on him like a ball of blood-colored flames.

"You said..."

The Ding family expert roared angrily, but the rest of his words were abruptly cut off.

Because the Blood鬃 Lion-Hound Beast King's sharp claws had arrived.

The blood-colored claw radiance was unparalleled, instantly tearing through his layers of defense, penetrating all of his secret techniques.

With a poof.

The Ding family expert let out a miserable scream, his entire heart being ripped out.

The next moment, he was bitten in the mouth by the Blood鬃 Lion-Hound Beast King, his entire head crushed, and he died completely.

Being both Half-Step Overlord Saints, he had no ability to fight back against the Blood鬃 Lion-Hound Beast King.

The current Lion-Hound Beast King was not the same as it was in the Flowing Cloud Forest.

Not only had its body recovered to its peak state, but its bloodline had also evolved due to the six types of divine beast blood essence that Jun Wuxie had given it, greatly increasing its aptitude and growth intensity.

Now, the Blood鬃 Lion-Hound Beast King had evolved to the peak of conventional evolution, the Quasi-Mythical Realm!

It carried the bloody Ding family expert back to Jun Wuxie, obediently lying on the ground, placing the corpse at his feet.

"I said I wouldn't kill you, I didn't say it wouldn't kill you."

Jun Wuxie muttered to himself, storing the corpse into his blessed land.

Looking at this scene, Princess Anning was completely stunned.

At the same time, a surge of anger rose in her heart, and she punched Jun Wuxie's chest a few times, "You bastard! You you you..."

She didn't know how to express the anger in her heart.

So the young talisman master in the Flowing Cloud Forest was him!

All along, he had been playing them all for fools.

Whether it was her, her royal father, or the emperor, they had all been tricked by him alone.

She felt like she was a complete idiot.

Jun Wuxie frowned slightly and glanced at her indifferently.

Princess Anning glared at him.

"Is this how you treat your savior?"

"You were the one who tricked me first, always deceiving us. Don't think that just because you saved me, I'll be grateful to you!"

Anning was very angry now. This feeling of being played like an idiot was terrible, far worse than when she lost to him in wits back then.

"Is that so? Then go be a concubine for the young master of the Ding family in Hanzhou."

After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, he threw her down directly.

Anning didn't have much strength in her body now. Being thrown like this, she fell to the ground, causing a trace of blood to spill from the corner of her mouth. Her internal organs, which had not fully recovered, were shaken, causing bursts of piercing pain.

Jun Wuxie ignored her and turned to leave with the Blood鬃 Lion-Hound Beast King.

Princess Anning watched him leave, gritting her teeth and clenching her fists.

"Hey!"

She clenched her fists tightly, unwilling to give in to him, but even more unwilling to fall into the hands of the Ding family, she had no choice but to compromise.

But that guy pretended not to hear and walked further and further away, which made her even angrier and more aggrieved.

It was clearly that guy who tricked her, but now he was so forceful, completely unreasonable!

"Yue Wuxie! Are you really going to leave me here?"

She gritted her teeth in anger, struggling to stand up, but she had no strength. After trying several times, she fell to the ground again.

"Young Master Yue, come back!"

Anning was about to cry. If she really fell into the hands of the Ding family, she would definitely live a life worse than death, and might even be humiliated, which was absolutely unacceptable.

"Is the princess begging me?"

Jun Wuxie stopped and turned around, looking at her from afar.

"Young Master Yue, don't go too far..."

Anning met his gaze. She had mustered up the courage in her heart, telling herself not to give in and to protect her last bit of pride, but she quickly succumbed to that forceful gaze.

Those eyes seemed to be able to penetrate her soul, both domineering and forceful, with an indescribable indifference.

"You... you only know how to bully me!"

Anning only felt the grievances in her heart drowning out her anger, and she felt like crying.

She had never been treated like this in her life.

"The princess's words are somewhat inexplicable." Jun Wuxie came to her and said, "The princess should know that the relationship between us is only one of cooperation, and for me, you are just a cooperative object with value, not irreplaceable. Therefore, I hope you will be less willful and presumptuous in front of me in the future. I won't indulge you."

Princess Anning's eyes turned red.

"Do you understand?"

Jun Wuxie asked coldly.

"Anning understands."

She lowered her head and said softly, tears falling uncontrollably.

"Do you want me to carry you?"

Jun Wuxie squatted down.

"Yes..."

Anning looked up at him and reached out her arms.

She couldn't walk now, was there any other choice besides this?

Jun Wuxie chuckled inwardly, just about to reach out to carry her when he suddenly saw a blazing light blooming in the distant sky.

His eyes flashed with golden light, and the Primordial True Eyes opened. In the light that pierced through the air, he saw his and Anning's images.

"Stay here."

Jun Wuxie helped her sit up, then took a few steps forward, staring at the distant sky.

In an instant, four figures soared into the sky from a mountain hundreds of miles away, quickly heading towards here.

These people approached stealthily, and because their cultivation was very high, he hadn't been able to sense them in time.

Until they released that light.

Without thinking, he knew that those people must have known about the death of their clansman in advance, so they hid their aura and came to this area.

They saw him and Anning, as well as the Blood鬃 Lionhound Beast King, so they used some special communication method to transmit the news back to the family, including his and Anning's appearances.

"Young Master Yue, what's wrong?"

Anning is very weak now, so she didn't see the Ding family's experts rapidly approaching, and her soul realm is not high enough for her to sense them.

"The Ding family's people are here, and they have already sent our appearances back to the family."

"What?"

Princess Anning's face turned pale.

In Ye City, everyone had changed their appearances.

So they were not afraid of being traced.

However, since she suffered heavy injuries, it has gradually become difficult to maintain her disguised face, and now it is completely her true appearance.

With the Ding family's power, after learning her true appearance, as long as they take the time, they will definitely be able to find out who she is.

At that time, if they go to Qingzhou to deal with the Ning Royal Mansion, what should we do?

"If I had known this, I shouldn't have let Young Master Yue come. That way, if I died, the whole thing could have ended there. Now that it has evolved to this point, I don't know how to end it..."

Princess Anning regretted it in her heart, as things had completely exceeded expectations.

Young Master Yue joined in, unless the Ding family kills both of them, they will not give up, and the Ning Royal Mansion and Qingyun will probably be dragged into this terrible vortex as a result.

"What audacity!"

The four Ding family experts arrived, saw the bloodstains, and sensed the aura of their clansmen from the bloodstains.

The four people's eyes were cold, staring at Jun Wuxie and the Blood鬃 Lionhound Beast King, "Unexpectedly, you are so young and your realm is so low, but you can get the help of the Blood鬃 Lionhound Beast King! Do you know what price you will pay for killing my Ding family's experts?"

"Frogs at the bottom of a well from Qingzhou, you don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Today, your actions will cause your family and sect to suffer a devastating disaster!"

"Who gave you the courage to come here and spout nonsense!"

Jun Wuxie's eyes were full of killing intent, and he patted the Blood鬃 Lionhound Beast King.

With a howl.

The Blood鬃 Lionhound Beast King lunged directly at the four Ding family experts.

"Bastard! You still dare to attack? The four of us joining forces, even a Beast King can... Ah!!"

A Ding family expert screamed on the spot before he could finish speaking.

Sharp claws tore his body apart, almost tearing him in half, and blood splattered.

The remaining people joined forces to attack the Blood鬃 Lionhound Beast King, but all the secret techniques were easily obliterated by it.

Only then did they realize that the strength of the Blood鬃 Lionhound Beast King in front of them exceeded their imagination.

Seeing that the siege was unsuccessful, they could not win, and their own lives might not be guaranteed, one of them immediately took the opportunity to attack, trying to suppress Jun Wuxie and Anning, in order to restrain the Blood鬃 Lionhound Beast King.

The Blood鬃 Lionhound Beast King flicked its tail, and a blood rainbow pierced through the sky, shattering the Ding family expert's true energy palm.

"Quick, you hold it back, buy me a moment, I will capture that man and woman, and then we won't be afraid of it not submitting!"

The expert who attacked Jun Wuxie and Anning said loudly, while rushing towards Jun Wuxie.

"Howl!"

The Blood鬃 Lionhound Beast King roared, its body flashed in the void, instantly dividing into four clones, and pounced on the four experts respectively.

The four people were horrified, how could they care about capturing Jun Wuxie and Anning?

They all used secret techniques to counterattack and defend.

Puff!

Blood spurted everywhere, and screams echoed through the mountains.

The Blood鬃 Lionhound Beast King crushed all their secret techniques in a devastating manner, tearing the four great experts apart, and then opened its mouth and sucked the four heavily injured people over, biting them in its mouth.

With a closing of its bloody mouth, the four great experts screamed again, their heads all crushed.

It carried the four bloody and tattered corpses back to Jun Wuxie and threw them at his feet.

"Well done."

Jun Wuxie patted the Blood鬃 Lionhound Beast King's head.

Princess Anning behind him was stunned.

How could this Blood鬃 Lionhound Beast King be so strong?

The four half-step Tyrant Saints joining forces actually had no power to fight back!

Jun Wuxie took back the Blood鬃 Lionhound Beast King, and by the way, took the corpses of several half-step Tyrant Saint experts into his body.

He turned around and went forward, picked up Princess Anning, who was dazed and had not recovered from the shock, and the runes of the Word-Line Array bloomed under his feet, shuttling through the vast mountains and forests like lightning.

He walked through the mountains, crossed high mountains, crossed deep ravines, and crossed plains.

Gradually, he felt that the clothes on his chest were a little wet, and he couldn't help but look down, and found that Anning had buried her head in his chest and was secretly crying.

"Don't cry."

Jun Wuxie sighed secretly, he knew that his previous cold attitude and ruthless words made her feel very wronged.

But what could he do?

He hoped that his relationship with Anning was just a cooperative one.

After all, in the future, he was going to kill King Ning, even if he didn't do it himself, King Ning's death would definitely be related to him.

Anning didn't speak, but she cried even harder.

She didn't know what was wrong with herself, she just felt wronged in her heart.

Why did she meet such a man, all her pride and dignity were shattered in front of him.

She even felt that this man was her nemesis in her fate.

If she hadn't met him, she would still be the Anning she used to be, but now she wasn't, she could no longer be the elegant, composed, and resourceful Princess Anning she used to be.

Jun Wuxie stopped in front of a lake in the deep mountains.

The blue lake water rippled, like a huge sparkling blue gem embedded in the earth.

In the midsummer season, the maple forest around the lake was green, the maple leaves swayed in the wind, rustling, the hot wind wrapped in the freshness of the green plants, came oncoming, blowing on the face, hot, but also making people feel a trace of comfort.

"Don't cry, I'll be nicer to you in the future."

Jun Wuxie put her on the bluestone by the lake and wiped the tears from her face.

Princess Anning bit her pale lips, lowered her head and did not speak.

"You should have some mobility now, did you bring clothes, wash up here, and change out of your dirty clothes."

After he finished speaking, he casually made a barrier of several meters in size, "Don't worry, no one will peek at you."

After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, he moved away from here, turned around, and faced the distance.
