Chapter 493: Chapter 491: You Really Are Far Too Bold

Whoosh!

In the forest, the gray-clad girl suddenly stopped.

Because a figure was blocking her path.

"True Monarch Middle Realm, and you actually give me such a dangerous feeling—definitely not simple." Zheng Xiaoman frowned lightly, her little face growing grave.

She’d lived in the Fallen Lands for years, and her sense for danger had pretty much become instinct.

The young man before her looked utterly ordinary, but he was strong—really strong!

Absolutely not someone she could handle!

"Hey, I don’t remember offending you, so what do you want?" Zheng Xiaoman was wary in her heart, but her face showed none of it. She even threatened, "Let me tell you, don’t get any ideas about me. I have elders—very, very powerful ones."

Xu Yang studied Zheng Xiaoman, and hearing her words, he smiled slightly: "I mean you no harm!"

"Are you a descendant of the Can Clan?"

"Can Clan descendant? What’s the Can Clan?"

Zheng Xiaoman was startled, then suddenly snickered, her expression odd: "You mean the Qian Emperor who fell here?"

"That’s right!"

Xu Yang stared hard at Zheng Xiaoman’s expression.

Zheng Xiaoman just gave a weird laugh: "Bro, are you nuts? If I was a Can Clan descendant, would I even be alive right now?"

Xu Yang’s brow furrowed.

Not her?

But if not, what exactly was attracting the Token?

Or maybe she was lying!

The thought flashed by, and Xu Yang suddenly vanished from where he stood.

"Damn!"

Zheng Xiaoman’s face changed drastically, she retreated like lightning, her sleeve sweeping out a cloud of black and red powder.

But that wasn’t all—three Spirit Talismans soared up, circling her and bursting with dazzling spiritual light, transforming into a round shield that enveloped her tightly.

Boom!

Xu Yang struck down with a fist, the shield trembled, but didn’t shatter!

Zheng Xiaoman looked at the quivering shield, heart skipping a beat.

"Such powerful force."

"And you still say you mean no harm?" Zheng Xiaoman gritted her teeth.

Xu Yang’s face didn’t change, the Asura Blood Saber appearing directly in his hand.

Whoosh!

He slashed down with the blade.

Zheng Xiaoman’s face changed dramatically.

"Comparable to True Monarch High Realm? That’s impossible!"

Bang—crack!

The shield was struck as if by lightning, exploding in an instant.

The fierce, overbearing shock made Zheng Xiaoman grunt in pain and retreat in disarray.

Xu Yang followed like a shadow, appearing before Zheng Xiaoman in a flash.

"Bastard!"

"You’re going too far!" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Zheng Xiaoman roared angrily, but didn’t give up without a fight. Her sleeve shook, and one of the Spirit Talismans quietly shattered, vanishing into nothing.

At the same time, she spat out a golden pill, spiritual patterns flickering within it, surging forward like a thunderbolt arrow, fiercely flying at Xu Yang.

Xu Yang’s eyebrow twitched—this golden pill’s power was actually at True Monarch High Realm!

Clang!

The Asura Blood Saber quivered, its edge sharp and condensed to the extreme. One slash landed—the pill vibrated and in a flash shot back into Zheng Xiaoman’s body.

Zheng Xiaoman shivered as if struck by lightning, blood spurting from her mouth.

"Lock!"

Xu Yang murmured inwardly.

The spiritual pattern didn’t appear, but the Heaven Locking intent formed out of nowhere.

Zheng Xiaoman’s body shuddered, then instantly froze.

Her eyes widened into saucers, terror flooding her face.

No matter how she struggled, she couldn’t break free from the horrifying restraint.

This guy is freaking monstrous!

"I told you, I mean no harm!"

Xu Yang smiled slightly, then took out the Token, showing the ’Qian’ character to Zheng Xiaoman.

"You might be a descendant of the Can Clan, or maybe not, but I am!"

"This is the heirloom left by the first Qian Emperor. Only descendants of the Can Clan can trigger a reaction from it; and you have something on you that’s attracting it."

As Xu Yang finished, he saw a trace of shock flicker through Zheng Xiaoman’s eyes—and also a hint of confusion.

That tiny bit of confusion made him hesitate for a moment!

Could it be this girl really doesn’t know anything?

"Bro, I know you mean no harm. Could you let me go first? If you want to talk, can’t we do it nicely?" Zheng Xiaoman looked at Xu Yang pitifully.

Xu Yang gave Zheng Xiaoman a deep look, then suddenly bent his palm.

This movement scared Zheng Xiaoman into shutting her eyes tight.

But what she felt next wasn’t pain at all. The moment she instinctively opened her eyes, she saw Xu Yang’s hand hovering in front of her, an indescribable ripple spreading out, enveloping her whole body.

He’s probing me?

Zheng Xiaoman thought like that.

Suddenly, her delicate face changed: "You, what are you doing?"

If she could move, Zheng Xiaoman would have covered her chest with both hands by now.

Xu Yang fixed his gaze on Zheng Xiaoman’s collar, then reached out like lightning and tugged it open.

A wooden tag came into view.

It was a solid bronzed wooden tag, utterly ordinary, not emitting any kind of ripple.

At first glance it looked like the simplest wood, not even any grain or markings.

Two characters were carved on it: ’Peace’!

Xu Yang’s eyes went wide in surprise—this wooden tag was what was summoning the Token!

"What is this?"

Xu Yang asked in a heavy tone.

Zheng Xiaoman realized Xu Yang wasn’t after her looks or up to something dirty, so she finally relaxed. But having her collar yanked open by some guy—in front of a man—how could she not feel embarrassed?

"Are you blind?"

Zheng Xiaoman glared at Xu Yang, not polite in the slightest.

Xu Yang’s mouth twitched, and he gave a helpless sigh, then suddenly snatched the wooden tag off her.

"That’s mine."

"Just a peace tag, nothing special."

Zheng Xiaoman bit her lip, her face ugly.

Xu Yang placed the wooden tag next to the Token.

The wooden tag actually began to tremble slightly—the two tags, in this moment, had achieved resonance!

"Do you get it?" Xu Yang stared at Zheng Xiaoman.

Zheng Xiaoman’s eyes flashed with confusion: "What’s going on?"

"That’s for you to answer," Xu Yang said, full of meaning.

"But I don’t know."

"All our family members have this peace tag."

This time, it was Xu Yang’s turn to be surprised.

He lowered his head to sense the ripple of the wooden tag—it was bizarre, full of mystery.

Even he couldn’t see through its secrets.

But aside from this reaction, nothing else changed!

Does that mean...?

A guess rose up in Xu Yang’s heart.

He then slowly said, "I really don’t want to hurt you, do you understand?"

Zheng Xiaoman gritted her teeth and nodded slightly.

She could see it too—the guy in front of her seemed to really just be after whatever was attracting that Token.

Suddenly, she felt the invisible restraint vanish.

Her whole body relaxed in an instant—she instinctively backed away several steps, on high alert, wary as ever.

"Maybe you and your family have no idea what mysteries lie in this tag, but it’s definitely connected to the first Qian Emperor!"

"If you don’t mind, could you take me to meet your family?" Xu Yang said solemnly.

Zheng Xiaoman hesitated.

Seeing this, Xu Yang couldn’t help but laugh: "Even if I’m as strong as True Monarch High Realm, surely your parents and family are even stronger than I am?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Xiaoman’s eyes lit up.

Yeah, what am I afraid of?

What kind of waves can one guy make?

"Okay!"

Zheng Xiaoman agreed.

Xu Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

Things were finally looking up.

Boom!

Off in the distance, heaven and earth twisted, an astonishing will swept across.

Xu Yang’s face changed, he didn’t even look back—just grabbed Zheng Xiaoman and sped away crazily.

"True Monarch Perfection!"

Whoever it was, enemy or not, in this place—running was the best move!

"Little brat, found you!"

A furious shout crashed in.

That surge of will grew even stronger, stirring the heavens, roaring in at thunderous speed.

"Looking for you?" Xu Yang’s eyes went wide.

"Seems like it’s a young master’s bodyguard," Zheng Xiaoman answered, her face pale and voice trembling.

Xu Yang’s mouth twitched: "You’ve got guts—only True Monarch Initial Realm, and you dared provoke someone in True Monarch Perfection."
