FRGNM -Chapter 335 Rebirth

His right hand pressed down, and the other four Purple Bamboo Needles instantly followed suit, moving exactly like Ling Feng’s earlier motion. With a flick of his right hand, the four figures shot forward.

Waving both hands toward the front, his fierce martial energy suddenly erupted. Complex hand seals formed, and a gleam of light burst from the depths of Ling Feng’s eyes. “Five Elements Seal—Obliterate!”

Hum! The entire mountaintop trembled. The hand seals pressed forward, sending out a milky-white aura that spread rapidly, forming the shape of a pentagram. Moving according to the different hand seals, the center of this pentagonal light aligned perfectly with the center of the mass of Nine-Yin Nether Qi.

“Gather!” The hand seals quickly merged, and the white light surged forth. When the beam of light landed on Ling Ruoxi, it was incredibly gentle, without any side effects.

But the mass on the ground seemed utterly terrified of the light. The Nine-Yin Nether Qi writhed and twisted in the air, unable to escape, dissolving helplessly into nothingness.

Mastering the Evolution Seal wasn’t so simple. Very few could use this technique. Even the seal Baili Yan had used before was taught by the very man before them; no one else had ever seen it.

Only after the massive entity completely vanished did Ling Feng clap his hands, quickly dissolving the surrounding barrier. His gaze fell on the two in front of him, eyebrows slightly raised. “What, don’t believe your old man is this powerful?”

“Of course not. But Dad, if you’re this strong, why hide it? You made us worry.” Even those corrupted by demonic energy could be easily dealt with. Ling Ruoxi didn’t know how to evaluate her father, wondering if he was pretending to be naive, hiding his true power.

Smiling wryly, Ling Feng said, “I wasn’t hiding. At first, it was just a warm-up. And neither of you was injured—you’re both in perfect shape. But…”

His voice paused. His expression grew serious. Hands clasped behind his back, he gazed at the gradually brightening sky ahead. “In this world, there are no absolute strong ones. Even in this position, elsewhere, you’d be nothing but small fry. Remember, the weak aren’t scary. What’s terrifying is a heart that refuses to grow stronger. When you truly understand what I’m telling you, you’ll realize the wisdom of your choices.”

A glint shone in his eyes. Ling Ruoxi looked at her father. “Dad, you mean… there’s always someone stronger, and even if we’re the strongest on this continent, in the grand scheme of the world, we’re just a speck of dust, right?”

“Good child.” With a snap of his fingers, Ling Feng placed a hand on Ling Ruoxi’s shoulder. At that moment, the floating leaves in the air froze, even the lights ahead stopped.

Ling Ruoxi gasped and instinctively reached out to touch this frozen slice of time.

“You’ve reached the demi-god level, and you understand how to control a time domain. No further explanation is needed. I only ask: do you wish to remain here, or continue cultivating to higher levels?” Ling Feng’s gaze was steady; he already understood her heart.

Ling Ruoxi’s heart trembled. She looked at her father, then turned to Luo Mingyu, instinctively reaching to touch his face, gazing into his eyes. She thought: after all this, they would find a quiet place away from worldly affairs.

A mischievous smile curved her lips. “I’ll choose both. Dad, does this opportunity come from you?”

“You…” Ling Feng poked her head and laughed heartily. It was the first time anyone had answered him this way.

Ling Ruoxi stuck out her tongue and continued, “I want to ask—Dad, do you know of other continents? Are there stronger martial artists there?”

“You clever little thing. Haven’t I said there’s nothing absolute in this world? But as for your requests, I’ll grant them. As long as my power remains, I won’t let anyone harm you. You two, finally together, hiding here is better than being apart!” He ruffled her hair and laughed.

A breeze swept by. Luo Mingyu froze, looking at the two. That fleeting moment had felt like an eternity. It seemed he could vaguely see them smiling before they vanished—it didn’t feel real.

“Mingyu, get ready. Let the Duanyun Kingdom Palace be your wedding place. I want to drink your wedding wine.” Ling Feng patted Luo Mingyu’s shoulder and gave a thumbs-up. “Amazing! My daughter’s only in her twenties, already has two kids, and you, boy…”

Pfft, Master! Luo Mingyu chuckled quietly. He owed this, and would surely marry the one before him. But he nearly spat out his tea at the last part—was this really his master?

Ling Feng glared, feigning anger. “After all this, you still call me Master? You’re not sincere, you know that?”

“Yes, Father-in-law!” Luo Mingyu quickly cupped his hands, smiling.

Ling Feng pressed Luo Mingyu’s head and raised an eyebrow. “Idiot. Call me Dad. Didn’t you say you wanted a father and mother? Now we’re family. Why can’t you say it?”

“I…” Luo Mingyu inhaled sharply. Then, remembering something from before, he scoffed. “Fine. So, are you my dad or my mom?”

“……”

“Yi’er!” That golden figure cut through the night sky like lightning, sword in hand, purple martial energy roaring out like a dragon bursting from its cave.

The five Blood Guards dodged swiftly. The aura dissipated, leaving them stunned. They looked up instinctively, seeing the barrier ahead had vanished. Could their master…?

Damn it! The Duanyun Kingdom Palace barrier had been activated. They had no chance of escaping, and now that Baili Wushuang was dead, they had to carve a path out themselves.

One Blood Guard grabbed Qian Yi by the neck. “Stay back, Nangong Mo. As emperor of Duanyun, you should know what we want.”

“Stop! If you dare harm Yi’er, I’ll wipe out your entire family!” Nangong Mo flipped down, glaring at the Blood Guards. Because of Qian Yi, he couldn’t use his full strength, allowing the guards to seize the initiative.

One of the Blood Guards sneered, dagger pressing against Qian Yi’s stomach. “Here are your wife and child. If you keep talking to us like that, what do you think will happen?” The dagger inched forward.

Qian Yi, unconscious, seemed to sense her child in danger. Her pale fingers instinctively reached for the dagger, letting blood drip as she weakly opened her eyes. She looked at the disheveled Nangong Mo ahead. “Mo, you…”

Her eyes shone with determination. Qian Yi immediately regained consciousness, glaring at the five, tightening her hands. Coldly, she scanned the surroundings. “Who are you to abduct me?”

“Hmph, shut up. Do you think you’re anything?” The Blood Guard tightened his grip.

Qian Yi remained calm. A glint appeared in her eyes. Looking at Nangong Mo, she shook her head and said, “Fine. I’ll ask. What do you want? As long as you don’t harm my baby, I’ll do it.”

“Simple. Open the Duanyun Kingdom Palace barrier. We guarantee we won’t harm the child.” The five stated their goal clearly.

I see!

Nangong Mo’s eyes gleamed coldly. “So you threatened me for the palace barrier. Fine, I’ll open it!” His black eyes flashed with lethal light as he shot forward like an arrow.

At the same time, Qian Yi’s hands pressed down, martial energy erupting, giving the Blood Guards no time to react. She swung the energy aside, protecting her child, clutching her belly as she twisted sharply.

“Seeking death!” The Blood Guards realized they had been tricked, startled, and reached for her.

They were fast—but Nangong Mo was faster.

Thwack! A single kick sent a Blood Guard flying. The dagger still hurtled toward Qian Yi, but Nangong Mo’s steps shifted, shielding her in his embrace.

Even with five guards, he couldn’t eliminate all at once. He could only hope to gain time to save her.

Clang! The dagger shot forward like lightning—but as it neared Nangong Mo, Nine-Yin Nether Qi attached to his body burst out, instantly consuming the blade.

Nangong Mo’s body shuddered. Holding the person in his arms, he glanced at the figure repelled by the Nether Qi. Instinctively, he thought, It’s Luo Mingyu. Could it be…? He recalled when the man had patted his shoulder—this faint aura must have entered him at that moment.
