The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 843: You Beat Me Into Submission, and Now You Dare Ask for My Help

Chapter 843: You Beat Me Into Submission, and Now You Dare Ask for My Help

Nanli looked up and glanced at him indifferently.

Then, without hesitation, she teleported forward and swung the Sky-Tearing Sword towards his head.

"Yes, I came to kill you."

Her voice was cold.

Yan Hu was startled and hurriedly raised his Nine Heavens Fan to block.

With a loud crash, their spiritual powers collided, causing the air around Seaside City to explode, nearly deafening.

The cultivators on the city walls all felt their blood surge.

Yan Hu’s hands went numb, and he gritted his teeth, forcing a surge of spiritual power to push Nanli back.

Both of them were equally skilled, wielding top-tier immortal artifacts, making their battle truly fierce.

Even mythical beasts had to avoid the sharp edge of their fight!

But who was Nanli?

Even though she had only regained a fraction of her memory, it was enough.

Her sword moves were ever-changing, fierce, and powerful—definitely not something Yan Hu could casually block.

Coupled with Nanli’s teleportation technique, Yan Hu found himself on the defensive, unable to take the initiative and forced to keep defending.

Yan Hu was gradually losing ground.

Yuan Zhenhai and the others noticed this and couldn’t help but cheer for Nanli.

She was incredible!

But...

They had overlooked one person.

Just as Nanli had cut through Yan Hu’s sleeve and was about to make another move, a violent spiritual force struck from behind.

It seemed as if the very heavens and earth were about to be destroyed.

"Nanli, all our grudges end today!"

It was Qingwu.

He rushed toward them swiftly.

The sword intent he released was extraordinary, not only saving Yan Hu but also targeting Nanli’s vital spot.

Her face darkened as she dared not directly receive this sword intent, retreating to the city wall and quickly summoning a talisman, channeling power into it to block the attack.

However, she was forced several steps back.

She nearly fell off the city wall.

"Nanli!" Everyone exclaimed.

A chill ran through their hearts.

The gap in strength was simply too wide—Nanli was no match for Qingwu.

Qingwu hovered above them, looking down coldly at Nanli. "Heh, you’ve been dodging my attacks all this time, but now, for these worthless scum, you’re willing to show yourself. Nanli, you’re so emotional, it’s no wonder you’re going to die here today."

Nanli steadied herself.

She gripped the Sky-Tearing Sword tightly, her mind racing for a way to counter.

"To walk through heaven and earth, as long as my heart is clear," Nanli spoke coldly, "But you, calling yourself ’The Lord,’ are doing vicious and cruel deeds. One day, your actions will backfire."

Qingwu sneered, "How could that be? Once I deal with you and obtain the Sky Plough Pearl, I can break through the formation and barrier. With the purest spiritual energy, breaking through to immortality is only a matter of time."

"Nanli... whether here or in the Human World Mu Nation, there are people you care about. If you were to commit suicide, I might spare them."

Since the Human Emperor had returned to his position, he thought he might as well make use of the opportunity.

If Nanli killed herself, he wouldn’t face divine punishment, and it would be a perfect situation for him.

Suddenly, the wind grew much stronger.

Nanli stood alone, her black hair flying in the wind, a wicked smile playing on her lips. Under the cold moonlight, she exuded a captivating, devilish charm.

"Qingwu, do you think I’ll surrender without a fight?"

"Nanli, don’t be ungrateful!" Yan Hu shouted from behind, "You started all this yourself. If you don’t commit suicide today, do you want to see blood flowing in the Lower Realm?"

But before he could finish, he felt a powerful aura approaching from behind.

Qingwu reacted quickly, pulling Yan Hu back.

Even so, the two were still knocked back by the overwhelming force.

When they looked, they saw the mythical rhino standing up, charging toward them.

It slowly moved toward Seaside City.

The other mythical beasts stopped stirring and made way.

Clearly, the mythical rhino was their leader.

Qingwu frowned and quickly used a talisman to shield his aura, directing the mythical rhino’s attention toward Seaside City and Nanli.

Yan Hu, too, had an idea and felt a surge of excitement.

"Foster father, we can sit back and watch the show. This would be fun."

"Indeed, if the mythical beast kills her, it probably won’t incur divine punishment." Qingwu nodded, his grin widening, almost reaching his ears.

They stayed where they were, quietly watching the drama unfold.

The mythical rhino was the largest of them all, and as it approached, it loomed even higher than the Seaside City walls.

None of the cultivators were not filled with fear.

They all collapsed to the ground.

Even Yuan Zhenhai shouted, "Nanli, it has almost no weaknesses! Just escape and don’t worry about us!"

As long as she would avenge them someday.

Nanli’s face darkened, but she had no thoughts of escaping alone.

No matter how difficult, she would try!

The mythical rhino’s weakness...

Perhaps she should first blind its eyes and then assess the situation.

With that decided, the Sky-Tearing Sword wrapped around Ghost Fire.

The mythical rhino saw the ethereal blue Ghost Fire, lowered its head slightly, and stared at Nanli.

The pressure was so immense that Nanli could barely withstand it, her hands trembling slightly.

This mythical beast must have lived for countless years to have such a potent aura.

But what was even more shocking was that it suddenly spoke: "It really is you."

Nanli froze for a moment, wondering if she had misheard.

She looked around.

Yuan Zhenhai was just as confused. "It sounds like it’s speaking."

What? The mythical beast could talk?!

But they weren’t spirit beasts!

"Yes, it’s me speaking," the mythical rhino opened its mouth again.

"..." Nanli bit her lip, trying to regain her composure, "You know me?"

"We met many years ago. I recognize your aura and your Ghost Fire..." The mythical rhino stepped closer, sniffing her aura. "But now, you’ve weakened a lot."

Nanli raised an eyebrow. "Since we’re old acquaintances, how about helping me out?"

Qingwu, watching from above, felt his heart tighten.

Nanli was clearly trying to make the mythical beast go after him!

But then, the mythical rhino said, "You beat me into submission many years ago, and now you dare ask for my help?"

Qingwu couldn’t help but laugh mockingly, "Nanli, you’ve made too many enemies. Just wait to die!"

Nanli twitched her lips.

She had no memory of this.

But she sheathed the Sky-Tearing Sword and withdrew the Ghost Fire, her expression calm. "My apologies, I’ve reincarnated. I’m no longer the person I was. Let’s bury the hatchet today, and from now on, we can be friends."

She had shown her sincerity, so surely the mythical rhino would consider her request.

Yan Hu was still shouting, "What are you thinking? Even if you’ve reincarnated, you’re still Nanli! Mythical beast, you can’t let her off!"

The mythical rhino slowly looked up, glaring at the two who had been egging it on.

It was displeased. The reason it had crashed into the formation barrier was because it had sensed Nanli’s aura and was looking for her.

It immediately let out a long, mournful howl.

All the mythical beasts turned their attention toward the two.
