High above the An Residence, Wanyan Tianxiong unleashed a domineering pressure, his palm imprint crashing down like a mountain!
The beams of Saint power launched by An Fu, Chu Kui, and Liu Ying only lasted for a single breath before they shattered with a thunderous explosion!
The pressure of a half-step Martial God realm crashed down like a waterfall. An Fu, Chu Kui, and Liu Ying all coughed up blood and plummeted from the sky!
“Hmph, mere ants! Today, you’ll be buried with my grandson!” Wanyan Tianxiong shouted coldly and did not stop.
The dazzling, terrifying palm imprint continued its descent, like a mountain from the sky pressing down on the earth below!
“Ahhh!”
An Fu, Chu Kui, and Liu Ying all cried out in pain!
Especially old steward An Fu, whose cultivation was only at the 3rd stage Martial Saint Realm—how could he withstand such force? As the palm pressed down with mountain-crushing weight, the sound of cracking bones echoed from his body, and blood burst out from every limb!
“Uncle Fu!”
“Senior Chu! Senior Liu!”
The An Residence was instantly filled with shouts. Everyone’s expressions grew grim, and they could clearly feel Wanyan Tianxiong’s killing intent!
An Beixue shouted in fury, “Wanyan you old dog, stop! If you dare to kill, my sister will never let you go!”
But Wanyan Tianxiong ignored her. A cruel smirk tugged at the corner of his lips.
He had long been clear—what he needed was the blood essence of Martial Saints to achieve his final leap into the Martial God Realm!
Martial Saints were the pinnacle of power in the Great Chu Empire, and even in the Wanyan Family, they were scarce. It wasn’t easy to draw blood from his own people.
But he had no scruples when it came to the An Family’s Martial Saints.
Once he broke through to the Martial God Realm using their blood, even if he had to face An Nanjing afterward, he would have nothing to fear!
So—death was the only outcome!
Boom!
A fierce glint flashed in Wanyan Tianxiong’s pale eyes. His half-step Martial God energy surged to the peak, ready to strike a killing blow!
In an instant, not just An Fu, but even high-level Martial Saints like Chu Kui and Liu Ying screamed as their Martial Saint bodies began to collapse under the pressure!
This terrifying sight left everyone in the An Family, especially those standing behind An Beixue, pale and trembling, feeling that their family’s end had arrived.
“Shadow Ghost, save them!”
At that critical moment, Ning Chen could no longer sit still!
He stomped his foot, and the Shadow Ghost hidden beneath him activated its divine power!
In the blink of an eye, all shadows across the An Residence seemed to come alive, converging like ribbons of black silk.
They gathered overhead, forming a massive black hand that shot up and smashed into Wanyan Tianxiong’s descending palm from below.
Though Wanyan Tianxiong’s palm imprint was strong, the Shadow Ghost was a peak Martial Saint-level ghost creature. And more importantly—he wasn’t guarded against it!
The force of the impact even made Wanyan Tianxiong stagger backward!
“Who’s there!!”
Wanyan Tianxiong’s aged eyes shrank in shock, his heart sinking. He hadn’t expected the An Residence to still have such a powerful expert hidden!
Judging from the aura, that person had to be at the peak of the Martial Saint Realm!
The An Family members, however, were momentarily confused, but An Beixue instantly gasped, “It’s him—it’s that mysterious figure!”
“He’s here, inside our An Residence. He’s helping us fight Wanyan Tianxiong!”
Excited and surprised, An Beixue’s beautiful eyes scanned the area. Almost immediately, she turned her head to look at Ning Chen.
But to her disappointment, Ning Chen stood calmly where he was, not moving at all. Clearly, he couldn’t be the mysterious savior.
“So it really isn’t Brother-in-law… then who could it be?”
“Whoever it is, I hope they can help my An Family through this crisis!”
As An Beixue’s thoughts swirled, Ning Chen had already given the Shadow Ghost a silent command to strike.
By now, the red glow of sunset had completely faded from the sky, and darkness had begun to shroud the world.
And under the cover of night, the Shadow Ghost’s power surged to its peak!
Buzz—
From every corner of the An Residence, shadows surged like endless tides, rapidly converging.
In the blink of an eye, they formed a colossal dark figure overhead!
The shadow was humanoid, over 3 meters tall, its features hidden. No one could tell whether it was man or woman—only its blood-red eyes gleamed.
Waves of energy pulsed from its body. Though not as strong as the half-step Martial God Wanyan Tianxiong, it wasn’t far off either.
At the very least, it was far stronger than An Fu, Chu Kui, and Liu Ying combined!
“It’s him! That mysterious figure!”
“He never shows his true face! Who is he really?”
“That aura… he’s definitely at the peak of the Martial Saint Realm!”
Even the three Martial Saints—An Fu, Chu Kui, and Liu Ying—were drawn to the figure!
They wanted to help, but their injuries had rendered them powerless.
“Who are you? Why are you helping the An Family?” Wanyan Tianxiong demanded coldly from above!
“For no special reason. Anyone who dares offend the An Family shall be executed!”
Of course, the Shadow Ghost didn’t speak for itself—those words came from Ning Chen through a divine ability that allowed him to speak through the ghost!
“Hmph!”
“Arrogant!”
Wanyan Tianxiong was clearly enraged. His beard and hair bristled, and the overwhelming aura of a half-step Martial God roared forth violently!
It not only shook the An Residence—it even made a large part of the imperial city tremble!
“A mere peak Martial Saint may act fierce before others, but in front of me, you are nothing!”
“Anyone who dares block my way today has only one fate—death!”
Boom!
The moment the word “death” fell, Wanyan Tianxiong struck again. This time, it was a full-force assault with no holding back!
His towering figure gleamed with radiant energy, shining like a sun amidst the darkening night!
He clapped both hands together, sending out a barrage of ferocious palm imprints, each blazing with intense light!
The power shook the skies and threatened to reduce the An Residence to rubble!
Swoosh!
Facing an attack from a half-step Martial God, Ning Chen stood still below, but his heart sank with unprecedented gravity.
After all, the Shadow Ghost, though powerful, was still just at the peak of the Martial Saint Realm—one stage below Wanyan Tianxiong.
“Defend!”
The Shadow Ghost immediately launched an all-out defense!
Countless shadows gathered above the An Residence, forming multiple layers of dark shields.
But as Wanyan Tianxiong’s palm prints fell, the layers of darkness were instantly torn apart and shattered—along with the giant figure of the Shadow Ghost!
Each palm strike scorched away chunks of shadow, and the Shadow Ghost let out a series of low, painful growls.
Wanyan Tianxiong sneered in disdain, continuing his relentless assault until, finally, the Shadow Ghost’s defenses collapsed completely!
Boom!
The condensed black figure exploded midair!
The Shadow Ghost screamed in agony.
At the same time, a weak voice echoed in Ning Chen’s mind, “Master! Alone, I’m no match for this man!!”
