301: Cut him hard

Hearing this familiar voice, ripples spread across Luo Ningyan's beautiful eyes, like an autumn lake.

On her stunning Face, an expression of astonishment, daze, confusion, disbelief, and doubt about reality appeared at a visible speed, before finally turning into surprise and excitement when she confirmed she wasn't mistaken.

"Jiang Yuan?!"

The beautiful woman exclaimed excitedly, "You're really back?"

"You're indeed not dead!"

Unable to control herself, in a burst of emotion, she stepped forward with graceful lotus steps and embraced the young man, who was a head taller than her.

The fresh, orchid-like fragrance filled Jiang Yuan's nostrils, combined with the warm, soft body of the beautiful woman, causing him to momentarily freeze, unable to react at all, allowing her to hold him.

"Woah..."

The female server, Qi Huan, poked her head out from the shattered wall and, seeing this scene, couldn't help but cover her mouth and let out a soft gasp, her eyes wide with surprise, shock, and a hint of excitement, as if she had witnessed some incredible gossip.

"Ah ah ah!!!"

Feng Qidong's agonizing screams, heart-wrenching and piercing, brought Luo Ningyan back to reality.

Her cheeks flushed, she released him and stepped back, her demeanor still somewhat unnatural.

She feigned nonchalance, using her hand to tuck a strand of purple hair that had fallen by her ear behind it, inadvertently revealing her delicate, jade-like ear and swan-like, snow-white neck.

A small gesture, yet naturally alluring and full of charm, capable of capturing hearts.

Qi Huan sighed inwardly, "As expected of President Luo, she's truly skilled!"

"When did you come to the Emperor Capital?" Luo Ningyan asked, looking up at Jiang Yuan.

"I've been here for a while; I went to Shenwu, had some things to attend to."

"Have you seen Xiao Xi?"

Jiang Yuan nodded.

Luo Ningyan finally relaxed, then smiled suddenly and said, "No wonder that girl said she had a surprise to tell me, and she kept it a secret, being all mysterious. So this is what it was about."

Her smiling eyes made her even more captivating.

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but glance at her twice.

"Sizzle!"

Suddenly, streaks of blood Qi mixed with magnetic light burst from Xiao Ce's body.

Relying on a family secret technique and self-detonating a top-grade Mental Energy defensive artifact, he briefly broke free from Jiang Yuan's Mental Energy suppression.

It was only for a moment.

He decisively tore a high-level Teleportation Scroll, and the expanding white light circle enveloped him and the already unconscious, dying Master Sun.

The surrounding space fluctuated, and it was already impossible to stop it.

As for Feng Qidong, he would have to fend for himself.

Just as he was leaving, Xiao Ce, his Face covered in blood, looked at Luo Ningyan and sneered, "President Luo, your Pharmacist Association is doomed this time. I said so."

A second before he was teleported away, he stared intently at Jiang Yuan and made a gesture of slashing his throat with his hand.

"What the Hell are you playing at?" Jiang Yuan calmly greeted the other party's family and casually threw out the Heaven-Shrouding Umbrella, which directly enveloped the entire hotpot restaurant.

Within the barrier created by this epic Dao item, let alone a high-level Teleportation Scroll, even an extraordinary Teleportation Scroll that ignored distance would not work.

"Teleportation Failed."

Seeing the black text appear before his eyes, Xiao Ce instantly panicked.

"What?!"

"How could this be?!"

"Wait, wait... Ah ah ah!!"

Watching the middle-ranking member of the Emperor Capital's Xiao family suddenly kneel on the ground, clutching his head and wailing in extreme pain, Luo Ningyan knew without thinking that it was the young man beside her who had caused it.

This was not at all surprising.

Back in Nanjiang, he already possessed the combat power to fight against ninth-tier Lords and even Abyss Quasi-Kings.

Now that several months had passed, it was not surprising that he had completely surpassed himself.

However, Luo Ningyan still couldn't help but worry.

"That's enough. This is the Emperor Capital, after all. Killing someone has serious consequences and will attract the Patrol Division.

Offending an Emperor Capital aristocratic family will also bring you trouble... This is my responsibility, my job; you don't need to get involved.

Compared to me, you should go back to the academy with Xiao Xi..."

Jiang Yuan's reply was just three words: "Don't worry."

Not to mention that the Luo family's relics had also greatly helped him, besides, she was truly good to him.

"Get up."

With a thought, Jiang Yuan dispersed the Mental Energy suppressing the three of them.

"Thud!"

Feng Qidong, who had exhausted all his strength and was bleeding from all seven orifices, was forcibly pulled up from the ground.

He lost his balance, staggered backward, and fell to the ground.

This eighth-tier Shenfeng Guild President was utterly disheveled at this moment, his spirit listless, his will weak.

In his eyes, besides anger, there was more confusion, incomprehension, terror, and fear when he looked at Jiang Yuan.

"Who... are you?"

He spoke with difficulty, his voice trembling.

The Mental Energy suppression from the other party just now, besides being absolutely irresistible, a chasm between heaven and earth, left him with the deepest impression of alternating extreme heat and Soul-freezing cold, making his Soul fluctuate between hot and cold, as if suffering in Hell.

He absolutely did not want to experience that feeling again.

How could a young man who looked barely adult possess such terrifying power?!

"Who else could it be? Our great President Luo's background, of course..." Xiao Ce, his Face pale, clutched his forehead and struggled to stand up, saying in a Yin and Yang tone, "President Luo truly hides her cards deeply; to think she has this person backing her... I presume Your Excellency must be some hidden Great Master of the Mental Energy Association?

If we had known, if we had known this, how would we have dared to compete with President Luo..."

In his opinion, this young man must be Luo Ningyan's lover, the old monster of the Mental Energy Association who had undergone rejuvenation and was backing her.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to possess such terrifying Mental Energy!

"Tsk tsk, your Mental Energy Domain is about to collapse, and you still dare to speak sarcastically.

Are the Emperor Capital Xiao family members all so unafraid of death?" Jiang Yuan asked, tsk-tsking, then nodded to himself and muttered, "Xiao Chenzhou is arrogant and protective of his own, spoiling his family members until they don't know the immensity of heaven and earth, so this is only to be expected."

As soon as these words were spoken, not only was Xiao Ce stunned, but Luo Ningyan was equally astonished.

Feng Qidong's mouth hung open, and he said in disbelief, "What did you say?"

It was the first time he had seen someone dare to call the King Zhenhai by his name, and speak so disrespectfully, calling a Great Master who stood above millions of people, a King of Great Xia, arrogant and protective of his own!

And it wasn't over yet.

The handsome young man of mysterious origin then looked at Xiao Ce and said seriously, "Killing you is too simple, too boring.

Later, I will find Xiao Chenzhou and, for your words today, I will seriously give him a good slash."

Feng Qidong felt his scalp about to explode.

Xiao Ce was almost laughing with rage, "You? Just you? What kind of thing are you? Are you even worthy of fighting a King of my Xiao family?!"

Ignoring them, Jiang Yuan looked at the stunned Luo Ningyan and asked, "Is this a business deal between the military and the Pharmacist Association?"

Luo Ningyan instinctively nodded.

"Which unit? The Northern Great Wall Army?"

Luo Ningyan nodded again, then suddenly reacted and asked in surprise, "How do you know?"

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Recently, they are the only ones planning to conquer an S-Rank Abyss, the Dead Ice Plains, which is home to a King-level Extreme Ice King.

Therefore, they must need a large quantity of top-grade Extreme Ice Potions."

Luo Ningyan was stunned.

Xiao Ce scoffed, "You're talking nonsense.

Such matters are military secrets; even my Xiao family doesn't know, so how can you be so certain..."

He stopped abruptly, not because he didn't want to speak, but because a gust of Yellow Springs cold Qi swept over him, freezing his Soul, and even his body was covered in hoarfrost, instantly frozen solid.

This scene made Feng Qidong and Master Sun, who had woken up but were feigning death, stand on end.

Jiang Yuan continued to Luo Ningyan, "I will inform the Northern Great Wall Army to postpone their attack plan by two months.

The Pharmacist Association can then prepare the potions within these two months."

Luo Ningyan was stunned and said, "Ah?"

Her first reaction was, 'How is this possible?'

One must know that Great Xia was founded on martial arts, with the strong revered in the God-Forsaken Era, and national defense was above all else.

In Great Xia, the military's power was supreme.

Even the ten great aristocratic families of the Emperor Capital combined could not compare!

It also received the most tilted resources.

Every year, the military would select graduates from the four top academies and other academies to join the army.

Only by being bathed in the fires of war, experiencing death and slaughter, could one emerge from among the Geniuses and become a General.

This was the case every year.

This also led to the military's combat power growing stronger year by year, with the Northern Great Wall Army being an elite gathering.

The Pharmacist Association could be said to be a considerable force in the Emperor Capital, and its financial resources were astonishing, but it still did not have the qualifications to bargain with the Northern Great Wall Army.

"What... do you plan to do?"

Luo Ningyan was dazed for a few seconds, but still couldn't help but ask this question, wanting to hear what Jiang Yuan's plan was and what confidence he had.

"I'll just tell them," Jiang Yuan said with a smile.

"After all, I am a General; they wouldn't refuse me that much Face, would they?"
