Super War God in the City

Facing the oppressive aura of Yuan Yangyao, Ling Fan's eyes were icily determined, not showing the slightest hint of retreat.

"Is today really the day I falter here?" Ling Fan muttered to himself, while desperately circulating the Origin Force within his body.

Miao Caijing's delicate body trembled with excitement, feeling as if the heavens had finally heard her prayers, with Ling Fan's violent death imminent right before her eyes.

"Hahaha, it truly seems heaven wants to destroy you, even gods couldn't save you today!" Miao Caijing couldn't help but laugh wildly.

It was uncontrollable, the exhilaration in her heart could not be restrained, she had to express it or she would burst!

"Hehehe! As expected, if this young man could rise from the dead in such a circumstance today, I would eat crap!" declared a Hong Family Elder confidently.

"Haha, Elder Wang sure knows how to joke, eating crap is unnecessary, if he survives today, I'll eat dirt!" another Elder joked.

At that moment, all the Elders looked at Ling Fan as if he were a dead man, none harbored any fear.

Even if Hong Yuankai wasn't maintaining his dignity, he probably would have expressed a few thoughts himself.

Only the Miao Family members remained silent, for Ling Fan was also their kin, and they did not kick him when he was down.

"I originally had some appreciation for your talent, but young man, I see you're not someone to be trifled with, so even if you beg for mercy now, I won't spare you!" Yuan Yangyao said solemnly, his expression stern.

With these words, those who had been hoping for Ling Fan to die on the spot felt immensely relieved, no longer worried.

"What to do, what to do!" He Feiman's face turned deathly pale, who could have expected a Martial Saint from the Yuan Family to suddenly appear.

"Young man, being killed by me should fill you with pride!" Saying this, Yuan Yangyao's figure burst forward again, locking onto Ling Fan and striking abruptly.

"If he suffers the slightest harm today, I guarantee your Yuan family will be left with neither chicken nor dog!" A light, delightful female voice rang through the courtyard, melodious as if from the heavens.

Yuan Yangyao's movements abruptly halted, and he turned towards the entrance.

A woman in plain clothes, with her garments fluttering and half her face veiled in a transparent scarf, appeared before everyone like a fairy in the early morning.

Seeing the newcomer, Ling Fan inwardly heaved a sigh of relief, but he dared not dissolve the last vestige of True Yuan inside him, remaining highly vigilant.

Everyone was shocked by the scene before them; more precisely, they were stunned by the woman.

Yuan Yangyao's pupils constricted, "Who are you?"

He didn't underestimate her; as a Martial Saint, his perception was very strong, sensing a subtle elemental fluctuation on her, a sign of true Divine Skills mastered.

Those who could master true Divine Skills in Zhongnan were few, and he certainly wasn't one of them.

His heart shocked, he glanced secretly at Ling Fan, wondering if he had underestimated this young man's background?

The spectators were equally astonished, as if the woman carried a peculiar charm, attracting all gazes and making it impossible to look away.

Those with higher cultivation managed to snap out of it after a moment, their hearts filled with even greater shock.

Qiao Yuchan lifted her hand and sent a golden token flying towards Yuan Yangyao.

Yuan Yangyao caught it curiously, and when he spread his palm to see the words on it, his figure suddenly shook, his face filled with astonishment.

Everyone else was curious, unaware of what Yuan Yangyao had seen, wondering what that token was!

"What... what's going on?" The Elder who had joked about eating crap looked utterly confused.

Hong Yuankai, seeing Yuan Yangyao's reaction, suddenly felt a sinking feeling, "I have indeed underestimated this lad!"

He felt as if he had just walked past the Ghost Gate, a chill breaking out on his back, glad that he hadn't carelessly spoken in ridicule earlier.

He Feiman stared with red-rimmed eyes, nearly forgetting this mysterious woman who had appeared with Ling Fan!

The Miao family members looked at each other in dismay. Who exactly was this woman who managed to subdue Yuan Yangyao the moment she appeared?

What intrigued the crowd even more was the relationship between Ling Fan and this mysterious woman.

Yuan Yangyao barely managed to calm his fluctuating emotions, "To my knowledge, the Qiao family isn't what it used to be. Even if they could flatten the Yuan family, they would have to drain their Vital Energy. Are they really willing to stand up for this lad?"

Although he had been secluded in life-and-death meditation, he wasn't ignorant of the changes in Zhongnan's situation. Patriarch Qiao Shuran from the Qiao family had passed away a year ago.

Since the current family head had taken over, it had been said that his position was unstable. If not for his heaven-defying talents, he would hardly have been able to maintain it till now.

Upon hearing this, everyone's minds were immensely shaken.

"The Qiao family?" The Hong family elder who had previously said he would eat dirt suddenly widened his eyes, incredulously staring at the woman who had appeared.

Everyone present turned pale, for in all of Zhongnan, there was only one Qiao family, the sixth Heavenly Vein house.

Behind her veiled face, Qiao Yuchan's expression turned slightly icy as she said sternly, "You're already on your deathbed, your cultivation has reached its end. How dare you challenge my Qiao family!

Believe it or not, I have people who would clamor to annihilate your Yuan family for a word from me, but to extinguish your Yuan family, I, Qiao Yuchan, am more than enough alone!"

As she spoke, the aura around her surged dramatically, and instantly, a layer of frost formed on the vegetation in the courtyard. The temperature dropped abruptly to freezing, as if entering the midwinter season.

Everyone in the courtyard was startled and their expressions changed drastically.

"Is this... is this what true Divine Skills are?" the elders of the Hong family shivered as they said.

They had spent their entire lives only to remain in the Grandmaster Realm, most of them not even touching the threshold of Divine Skills. Compared to this young girl from the Qiao family, they truly felt they had wasted their lives.

Yuan Yangyao's face also changed abruptly, overwhelmed with shock.

"So the rumors are true. Despite her young age, she is already a Martial Saint Realm powerhouse who has comprehended the true Divine Skills. He is no match for her!" Yuan Yangyao thought silently to himself.

"He is my fiancé. If you touch my people, do you think I would hesitate to wipe out your entire Yuan family?" Qiao Yuchan's cold voice sounded again.

Yuan Yangyao's body shook violently, his face fluctuating. After a moment of contemplation, he took a deep breath, immediately clasped his hands in respect and said, "Yuan has been presumptuous. I was unaware he is the fiancé of Patriarch Qiao, please forgive me!"

"Considering that the Heavenly Vein forbids the wiping out of a family on a whim, I'll spare you this time!" Qiao Yuchan snorted coldly and immediately dispersed her Technique Law.

She was merely putting on a brave front. To actually take action would greatly harm her, but her purpose was already achieved.

But the bystanders were completely dumbfounded. Ling Fan was the fiancé of the current Patriarch of the Qiao family? Wasn't he Elder Master Miao's granddaughter's fiancé?

Instantly, many people turned to look at He Feiman with bizarre expressions all over their faces.

Under everyone's gaze, He Feiman pursed her lips, her face alternately flushing and paling. Ling Fan was not her boyfriend; it was just a misunderstanding that others had all along.

However, these misunderstandings, if mistaken long enough, subconsciously start to feel like truth. After all, it's said that a lie told a thousand times becomes truth.

At this moment, He Feiman felt this way, secretly considering herself as Ling Fan's girlfriend, and found it difficult to accept the shattering of this illusionary realm!

Ling Fan, standing to the side, was also somewhat surprised, not expecting Qiao Yuchan to speak out in front of everyone. But upon reflection, he sighed internally!

Qiao Yuchan, to help him out of a predicament, had forsaken her own reputation, incurring a huge favor he now owed!

Seeing He Feiman's reaction, everyone realized that the two were not actually in a romantic relationship.

Miao Hongyi secretly regretted, turning what should have been a simple matter into a farce.

Qi Liangping and his wife looked at each other – so he really wasn't Xiao Man's boyfriend!

"Haha, I knew it, how could a sparrow ever turn into a phoenix? How could He Feiman with her lowly fate find such an outstanding man for a fiancé?" Miao Caijing inwardly sneered, taking pleasure in the misfortune at the side.
