MTLNOVEL Chapter 222: Yun Yun
The two moved forward in unison, like two streams of energy in sync.
El darted to the left side, the White Fire sword in his hand emitting a sharp luster, while Xiao Yan took the right side, swinging the Heavy Xuan Ruler with full force.
In the center of the battlefield, the Chimera Dog charged over with unstoppable ferocity, aiming for the center of the Magic Beast crowd.
Xiao Yan displayed his strength with each swing of the Heavy Xuan Ruler, the heavy weapon struck the Magic Beast's body brutally, creating deadly cracks on each of its bones, though it did not cut directly.
Each blow brought a boisterous effect, the White Ape's body was thrown back by Xiao Yan's pure power.
On the other hand, El moved with mesmerizing speed and precision. White Fire was swung marvelously, cutting through the Magic Beast's body like a master chef slicing through sushi.
Every slash El delivered was perfect, leaving a clean cut that made the White Ape fall helplessly.
Meanwhile, the Chimera Dog showed its ferocity by biting into the Magic Beast's sizable body and tearing it apart mercilessly.
Its sharp claws crushed enemies that dared to get close. However, its savage movements provoked resistance, and the blows from the Magic Beast left the Chimera's massive body riddled with wounds.
Even so, the summoning beast stood firm, showing no signs of surrendering.
Moments later, the fierce battle came to an end. Amongst the scattered corpses of the Magic Beasts, El and Xiao Yan stood with their breath slightly out of breath.
Their bodies were decorated with bloodstains, but there was no sign of excessive fatigue on their faces. At the back, the Chimera Dog was still standing upright despite being covered in wounds, its ferocious aura still radiating.
Xiao Yan stuck the Heavy Xuan Ruler into the ground, giving it a moment to catch its breath. "Quite troublesome," he muttered, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Meanwhile, El raised his hand and deactivated Animal Path, turning the Chimera Dog's body into a white mist that disappeared into the air.
"The battle is over," he said briefly, in a calm yet firm tone.
El wiped away a few bloodstains on her cheek, her gaze as calm as ever.
"Good. But next time, let us avoid the Magic Beast's lair," El said, giving Xiao Yan a glance. "This is already the tenth time in a week."
Xiao Yan only smiled slightly, not intending to argue. After all, this mess happened because of Xiao Yan's mistake unintentionally.
"Ji Lan, by the way, your ability to summon animals is very impressive," Xiao Yan said, a tone of admiration clearly audible in his voice. His eyes were fixed on El, who appeared calm as usual.
As someone who had been with El for several days, Xiao Yan had some understanding of El's Rinnegan power.
Xiao Yan had witnessed El using those eyes in a similar situation some time before, being chased by dozens of Magic Beasts.
However, the Rinnegan abilities that El showed were limited to animal summoning and increased visual acuity, without revealing their full potential.
He deliberately concealed the full potential of those eyes, only intending to reveal them if under truly urgent circumstances.
El merely smiled faintly, briefly looking at Xiao Yan before saying, "That is not something to be admired. It is precisely Xiao Yan's ability that is truly outstanding."
Xiao Yan sighed, trying to deny, while pulling out the Heavy Xuan Ruler from the ground and placing it on his back. "Hey... Don't look down on yourself-"
Xiao Yan's words were interrupted abruptly. The two exchanged glances for a moment, as if sensing something in common. Their gazes were simultaneously directed towards the sky.
Xiao Yan could feel an extremely strong aura approaching, like a pressure that almost made his Dou Qi tremble.
On the other hand, El with the sharpness of his senses smelled the presence of an unusually strong person moving closer.
From the sky, the figure finally appeared. A mysterious woman flew past them with intimidating grace.
The mysterious woman wore a tight-fitting dress that accentuated the beauty of her body, while her right hand grasped a strange-looking long sword, emitting a shimmering green light.
Her long black hair was adorned with a phoenix-shaped accessory, adding a sense of grace to her beautiful face that was undisturbed by the wind.
Her gaze was cold, expressionless, as if unconcerned with the world below her.
Most striking was the pair of green-colored wings on her back, looking like an illusion that moved gracefully to the rhythm of her body.
Those wings were clearly formed from Dou Qi, a symbol of power only possessed by those who had reached the Dou Wang level or higher.
The wind she generated as she darted made the leaves around El and Xiao Yan fall slowly.
They kept looking at the woman warily, realizing that her presence was a sign of something big.
"Dou Wang... or higher," Xiao Yan murmured softly, a serious tone replacing the previous playfulness.
El, without a word, observed the woman's figure until she disappeared into the horizon, 'Yun Yun, the Sect Master of Misty Cloud, as well as the Master of Nalan Yanran.' El thought calmly.
As a fan of the BTTH series, it was natural for El to know who Yun Yun was.
In the story, Yun Yun was the Sect Leader of Misty Cloud Sect until Yun Shan decided to side with the Hall of Souls and removed her from her position.
Plus, Yun Yun also gave Nalan Yanran permission to break the marriage engagement with Xiao Yan.
Not only that, even El was also a little familiar with her nature. Yun Yun had a very serious and stern personality.
It was said that she had dedicated her entire life to martial arts and was not interested in things like love and romance.
But, Yun Yun started to have a crush on Xiao Yan after their first meeting and fell in love with him. Different from Donghua and its Novel series, in Manhua, Yun Yun regards Xiao Yan as her little brother.
El raised his left hand calmly, his index finger touching the pulse on his right wrist. His face remained flat, but after a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Inwardly, El muttered, "So this only applies to Xian'er, huh? Thank goodness."
El then glanced at Xiao Yan who was standing beside him. The young man looked transfixed, his eyes following the shadow of Yun Yun who had just flown away.
On Xiao Yan's face was a look of admiration that he was unable to hide. In fact, a drop of blood flowed slowly from his nose, a clear sign of being mesmerized by Yun Yun's beauty.
El, who had a keen sense of smell, also caught a faint scent from Xiao Yan's body, a scent that he could only describe as desire arising from the influence of women.
Letting out a small sigh, El then thought, "Hm, according to my memories, men of Xiao Yan's age often have a passionate desire for women. This is not unusual."
A faint smile was painted on El's face. He then cleared his throat softly, attracting the attention of Xiao Yan who was still stunned.
In his trademark seductive yet cold tone, El said, "It seems that our friend Ji has a taste for more mature women. What would happen, huh, if Sister-in-Law Xun'er finds out about this?"
