Against The Gods
Chapter 102 – Remaining-Sisa Phoenix, Round 2

In an instant, Lan Xueruo's calmness underwent a huge change. The smiles on the faces of the broadaxe man and the sharp-mouthed man vanished instantly as they suddenly felt the suffocating pressure of the peerless beauty before them.

"Boss, what ... what happened?" The sharp-mouthed man sensed something wrong about the atmosphere. Those words had just left his lips when a blade of white-gold light flashed from the side of his eyes. Lan Xueruo's sword lifted up once more and thrust straight into her chest.

The attack without any strange movements, yet its aura was clearly stronger than before with a few folds! The sharp-mouthed man was paralyzed for a moment due to the suffocating power of his aura, but after that, he swung his iron baton and quickly fended off his attack. With a loud bang, the sharp-mouthed man's iron staff was sent flying as the jade sword encased in golden light pierced viciously into his body. Due to the powerful might of his attack, the white jade long sword bent for a split second to then immediately straightened out once more. Furthermore, an explosion erupted; its terrifying strength had caused the sharp-mouthed man to fly into the air and roll several tens of meters away…. Had he used the tip of the sword instead of the body of the sword, the sharp-mouthed man would have been sliced through the middle.

This scene caused the skin of the broadaxe man and the horse-faced man to suddenly change color. Before they could utter a single sound, Lan Xueruo's beautiful shadow had already rushed towards the broadaxe man; her sword was slanted to be pointed directly at his shoulders.

The strong blade approach instantly paled the skin of the men's broadaxe. With nowhere to escape, he gathered all the energy within his body at once. As he tightly gripped the wide axe with both hands, he let out a low roar and clashed with Lan Xueruo's long sword with a smash.

Bang !!!

Carrying the ear-piercing sound of metal colliding, the wide axe met the jade sword and caused the broadax man to sink to the ground. Under such immense pressure, both of his legs immediately sank into the mud beneath him. Lan Xueruo's sword momentarily paused, but after that, her sword exploded once more to then ruthlessly sweep across the chest of the man's broadaxe man.

With a collision, the broadax man's body rolled several tens of meters like a gourd roll, and the axe in his hand had also been thrown. After twisting a few rounds in the air, it landed at the foot of the horse-faced man, causing him to tremble in fear as he retreated in panic.

The broadaxe man who had been thrown several tens of meters away stood up again in a very awkward manner. His chest was in unbearable pain and he vaguely realized that some of his bones were broken. But he knew that if the woman was not merciful and "chopped" instead of "wiped", he and the sharp-mouthed man would split in two. It also brought the realization that the young lady was soft-hearted and definitely would not kill anyone.

An idea came to his mind. Immediately, he decided to kneel on the floor and loudly beg for forgiveness: “Nona, please save our lives! The three of us have seen without seeing, we .. We just think that you bear a resemblance to a goddess who has descended to earth, so we intend to approach and admire you. We obviously have no other intentions, so please ignore this and let us go. ”

Lan Xueruo pulled out her jade sword with a face of disdain. Not wanting to see them again, he shouted furiously, “Go at once! The further you go, the better. ”

“Yes, of course, we will be leaving soon, soon. The broadaxe man stood up and glared at the other two who were still stunned. The two followed his lead and also prepared to leave immediately.

"Let the kids go!" He suddenly furrowed his brows and shouted as the horse-faced man was just about to drag the two children away.

At that moment, the horse-faced man's skin color suddenly fluctuated, but upon recalling that he had reduced the sharp-mouthed man and the broadaxe man to a miserable state in three moves, it was only after the fact that he had reduced the sharp-mouthed man to a sad state, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and let go of the two children before sneaking away afterwards.

Had Yun Che been still awake, he would have definitely told Lan Xueruo to kill the three of them. Deep down, he knew that mercy did not often gain the gratitude of the other party. Instead, it would only bring about boundless unexpected problems. The three of them had almost violated him earlier, and were clearly stained by a large amount of sin. Killing them also helps the heavens deliver justice.

But in the end, Lan Xueruo was not Yun Che. He was kind and gentle; never killed anyone in his entire life and never thought of killing. He did not even think of immobilizing their limbs as punishment either.

In one breath, the three ran quite far. The horse-faced man gritted his teeth, “What a terrible fortune! The beauty did not unravel and we even had to release the two boys. ”

“After all, we must thank heaven that we still get away with our whole lives. The woman's profound strength was at the Deep True Realm! ”As he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, the broadaxe man shuddered from the lingering fear. He can't understand it. Originally, he clearly felt that his opponent was only at the eighth level of the Nascent Realm, but the moment he attacked, he suddenly felt an exponential increase in profound strength. That level of profound strength, was definitely not pale in comparison to the True Profound Realm that the three vice captains had obtained.

"Whaa? Right ... True Profound Realm? "Both the horse-faced man and the sharp-mouthed man were simultaneously stunned:" A hint of beauty was only a dozen or so years old, how could he have stepped into the True Profound Realm! Our captain is approaching the age of fifty this year, and is only at the third level of the True Profound Realm! ”

"You need to ask! That woman must be a genius disciple from some super family! Those large families all had countless resources and sect profound skills; those under twenty who had been able to break through the True Profound Realm were too many to count! It was too dangerous, we were lucky the woman we met was grumpy. If he were a little more aggressive, the three of us would be finished here! "

"Captain must return today. We originally wanted to take credit for kidnapping two hostages, but who would have thought we almost lost our lives today. Looks like we can only let the Captain personally take the lead, let's return quickly! "

………………………………

After expelling the three bad guys, Lan Xueruo heaved a sigh of relief and took the necklace around her neck. The profound energy released from our bodies immediately weakened. After two breaths, it had weakened back to the eighth level of the Nascent Realm. In front of him, the two children who had just regained their freedom looked at him with wide eyes; their eyes were glazed with tears that did not spill.

Lan Xueruo walked up and bowed: “Male boy, little girl, don't be afraid, it's okay now. Are you two from the mountain? Why were you arrested by those three people? "

Seeing the boy kneeling, the little girl also followed and knelt down. Holding the boy's arm, he added in a tearful voice, “Kakak, please save us…. Uuu Uuu, please save us …. ”

Lan Xueruo was slightly startled still for a moment before splitting her hands to hold each of them with the intention of pulling them off the ground: "Stand up, hurry …"

Even though he was only a seven to eight year old boy, he had a stubborn nature that surpassed his age. He looked at Lan Xueruo with tears as he refused to stand up: "Sister, I beg, please, you have to save us. If you do not save us, our entire clan will definitely be killed by those evil people. Only you can save us. In the future ...in the future, we will definitely return your favor. ”

This boy had previously yelled twice at her despite the danger that proved that she had a good soul. Now, he was kneeling before her with misty eyes filled with supplication and a hint of hope .. It was as if he had finally grabbed the life-saving rice stalks in the midst of his sinking.

His heart immediately softened. Seeing that Yun Che was still lying quietly behind, he hesitated slightly before smiling lightly: "Little boy, little girl. Stand up first, then take me to meet your clan, okay? ”

The little boy's eyes shone with a pleasant surprise. After wiping away the tears from his face, he nodded vigorously.

Lan Xueruo carefully picked up Yun Che and followed the two children towards their home. On the way, he learns that the boy is named Feng Zuer and the little girl is Feng Xianer; they are twins of different sexes. The surname "Feng" surprised Lan Xueruo a few, as she knew it was the surname of the imperial family of Divine Phoenix Empire. But the two children told him that the surname of their entire clan was "Feng" and that they had been living in this wilderness mountain since they were born, and that they had been living in this wilderness, without ever leaving or ever interacting with outsiders. There were many extremely vicious beasts in the area, but for some reason, these profound beasts never approached where they lived. However, due to the concentrated amount of those terrifying ferocious beasts, they could never leave. It was also the same reason why outsiders never entered.

That was true only until a few days ago when the Black Demon Mercenary Group had discovered where they lived after barging in through some unknown method. The group also realized that their treasure was actually a very small guardian clan and hence, forced them to hand over the treasure they were guarding. This was the reason why Feng Zuer and Feng Xianer were captured; for them to demand the treasure for ransom within a day or risk killing children.

As they turned around the short hill, a small village appeared before their eyes. A few middle-aged adults wearing rough clothes stood in front of the village, wearing expressions of frustration and helplessness. A weeping married woman stood between them as she covered her face.

"Dad …. Mama!"

Amidst their cries, Feng Zuer and Feng Xianer threw themselves towards the woman who was crying. The woman suddenly raised her head when she heard the voices of her children; she almost believed that she was dreaming as she stared in a daze and saw her children running. Only until they landed on his chest did he hug them tightly while crying out in surprise.

"Zuer, Xianer, how do you …. "The middle-aged man at the side looked surprised and then lost what to say in his excitement."

“That beautiful sister who fought those bad guys and saved us. '' Feng Zuer turned around and pointed to Lan Xueruo, Not only is big sister beautiful, she is also very strong. He only needed a short time to fight against those three bad guys. ”

"M N . M N . "Feng Xianer nodded in agreement with a face full of adoration:" Also, the older sister promised us that she would help us fight those evil people. ”

All eyes were on Lan Xueruo. The middle-aged man took a step forward, bowed deeply to Lan Xueruo, and sincerely stated, "Miss, thank you for saving my two children. I really don't know how I should repay you .. My name is Feng Baichuan and I am the current clan leader. This is my wife Feng Caiyun. ”

“No problem at all. I happened to pass by and it took a little effort. '' Lan Xueruo said politely. The man in front of him was thirty-four years old; the appearance and clothes he wore were humble and the space between his eyebrows showed a slight touch of elegance and calmness. The traces of fire stuck to his forehead looked extremely clear.

But as the clan leader, his profound strength was only at the tenth level of the Basic Profound Realm. With regards to his age, this level of profound strength was indeed too low. However, Lan Xueruo immediately realized that everyone in front of her was at the tenth level of the Basic Profound Realm as well; in this aspect none were uniform.

“Thank you, really, we're too grateful. "Feng Caiyun bowed gracefully towards Lan Xueruo, too grateful for the words.

“It's amazing that Zuer and Xianer made it back safely. However, those vicious thieves …. Sighs . "The bearded old man to the side heaved a sigh of relief to then take a deep breath.

“The female brother is very strong, he can definitely repel all those vicious thieves. "Feng Zu'er, who had personally seen" the invincible prowess of "Lan Xueruo, clenched his fists and spoke with complete confidence.

However, their worries could not be overcome with his own words. While they believed that his profound strength was truly extraordinary had saved the two children of the three ferocious thieves, she looked like a young lady who was only seventeen to eighteen years old. Even if his profound strength was high, how high would it be possible? His opponent was a well-known mercenary group that numbered around a hundred. His captain and his three vice-captains were all in the True Profound Realm; not something a young woman could resist.
