Terrifying explosions echoed one after another. The battle between Lan Xuande and the middle-aged monk was immensely fierce. However, overall, the monk seemed to be at a disadvantage. His strength was only at the initial stage of the Celestial Beings Realm, while Lan Xuande’s strength had already reached the middle stage of the Celestial Beings Realm.
The middle-aged monk relied on his Buddha Dao martial techniques and the Superior Grade Spiritual Artifact magic wand in his hand to barely fend off Lan Xuande’s attacks.
Another terrifying attack arrived, causing the middle-aged monk to continuously retreat, his face slightly paling.
"Do you from the Lan Family really want to oppose Mingwang Temple?"
The middle-aged monk fixed his gaze on Lan Xuande and shouted sternly.
"Hmph, even though Mingwang Temple is formidable, if you touch my granddaughter, I won’t let you off even at the cost of my old life!"
Lan Xuande’s face was ice-cold, his eyes shimmering with a chilling rage, emitting a terrifying aura.
After speaking, the middle-aged monk turned and quickly disappeared from sight, while the aura around Lan Xuande instantly dissipated, transforming him back into an ordinary old man.
Lan Xuande’s gaze shifted towards Lan Linger, and he walked over.
Lan Linger immediately grabbed Lan Xuande’s hand, affectionately calling out.
"My girl, are you alright? I failed to protect you!"
Lan Xuande looked at Lan Linger dotingly.
"Grandpa, Ling’er is fine!"
Lan Linger smiled warmly, appearing very cheerful and seemingly unaffected by the event.
Lan Xuande nodded, gently stroked Lan Linger’s head, and then turned his gaze to Xiao Yifeng, "It was you who saved Ling’er!"
"Father, not only did he save Ling’er, but he is also the renowned Xiao Yifeng of Yanjing!"
"So, you are the Xiao Yifeng who made the Wu Family face a humiliating defeat! Truly a fearsome young man!"
Lan Xuande looked at Xiao Yifeng with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"Thank you for your praise, Elder Lan!"
Xiao Yifeng slightly bowed as he spoke.
"We should arrange a meal at our place sometime as a thank you for saving Ling’er."
"You are too courteous, Elder Lan!"
Xiao Yifeng responded with a gentle smile.
"Father, what should we do about Mingquan Temple?"
Lan He looked towards Lan Xuande.
"Hmph, Mingquan Temple is just a secular base for Mingwang Temple, but I don’t know why they targeted Ling’er this time."
Lan Xuande’s gaze flickered.
"Because of Miss Lan’s unique physique, she caught the attention of the people from Mingwang Temple."
"The people from Mingwang Temple know about Ling’er’s physique? And you know it too?"
Lan Xuande’s eyes narrowed as he scanned Xiao Yifeng.
"Seven Orifices Exquisite Body, a heaven-defying physique!"
Xiao Yifeng spoke softly.
A look of surprise flashed in the eyes of Lan Xuande and the others as they looked at Xiao Yifeng.
"It seems you truly are extraordinary to know even this!"
Lan Xuande spoke calmly, but then Lan He opened his mouth and said, "Father, if Mingwang Temple knows about Ling’er’s constitution and decides to take action, wouldn’t Ling’er be in great danger?"
"As long as I, Lan Xuande, am here, calamity cannot be avoided, but I won’t let anything happen to Ling’er."
Lan Xuande declared solemnly.
"Don’t worry, Mr. Lan. Although Mingwang Temple is formidable, this is the secular world, and they dare not act rashly."
Dragon Soul spoke in a deep voice.
After that, Xiao Yifeng left first.
Leaving Mingquan Temple, Xiao Yifeng saw Hei Yaan and Jian Yun hurrying over.
"Young Master, sorry we are late!"
Jian Yun said to Xiao Yifeng.
"It’s alright, I am fine. Everything has been settled. Let us head back."
Xiao Yifeng spoke indifferently.
Then the three of them drove towards the city district. However, halfway there, Xiao Yifeng heard a series of fighting noises. Using his X-ray vision, a surprised expression appeared in his eyes.
Not far away, five or six people in black robes and masked faces were surrounding and attacking two women with katanas. These two women were none other than the King of Yin and Yang and Sakura Yue.
These people were mainly attacking the King of Yin and Yang with very swift and decisive moves, while the King of Yin and Yang stood in front of Sakura Yue, continuously swinging his hands to defend.
After a series of attacks, the King of Yin and Yang stepped back several steps. These people were all very strong, at least at the Middle Stage of Entering Saint Realm.
Five or six Middle-Stage Saint Realm strong ones ganging up on the King of Yin and Yang greatly surprised Xiao Yifeng. What power had this androgynous individual offended to mobilize so many rare Saint Realm strong ones?
Saint Realm masters were considered leaders, true pillars within the Martial Arts World. The appearance of so many now indicated the immense strength behind them.
"King of Yin and Yang, as you have ingested our poison and can’t use your illusions, your combat effectiveness is greatly diminished. You are no match for us. Surrender quietly and come back with us; you might just get a chance to live!"
One of the men in black robes spoke coldly, staring menacingly at the King of Yin and Yang.
"Hmph, it seems you had planned this well, waiting for me to leave Japan and then taking the opportunity to strike at me, even knowing my weakness and concocting a poison that restrains my illusions. It seems there are your people within the Yin Yang Family."
A cold light flashed in the King of Yin and Yang’s eyes as he scoffed.
"Good that you know, just surrender!"
"You think you can capture me, the King of Yin and Yang? Let’s see if you have the skills!"
The King of Yin and Yang shouted, his hands moving swiftly, forming a handprint, and his body emanated a unique aura.
"Phantom Instant Kill!"
With that shout from the King of Yin and Yang, his body split into several after-images, appearing in front of one of them instantly.
His pale hand swung violently, striking directly at the man’s neck. The fearsome power erupted, instantly killing him.
The man coldly shouted, his katana drawing a bright arc toward the King of Yin and Yang, carrying fearsome momentum.
The King of Yin and Yang waved his hands, blocking the sword strike. At that moment, another strong warrior of equal caliber thrust his katana fiercely.
Seeing this, Sakura Yue, who was hiding behind the King of Yin and Yang, screamed. Her body blocked the sword, and it pierced her abdomen instant. Blood sprayed from her mouth.
The King of Yin and Yang yelled, his face drastically changing.
Taking advantage of the King of Yin and Yang’s distraction, the man kicked out suddenly, sending the King of Yin and Yang flying.
Blood spurted from the King of Yin and Yang’s mouth, and his face turned pale.
