Elder Yang really did not expect Tang Li Xue to suddenly attack him without any reason like this.

However, Elder Yang was the Core Formation Stage Expert cultivator capable of battling the opponents with several levels higher than him.

It was hard to tell who will win even if Elder Yang fought seriously against Tang Li Xue in her [Divine Possession] mode with Yaya.

As for Tang Li Xue's Phoenix of Pride, Elder Yang already has the Blood of Lust to completely counter it.

In short, Elder Yang has more than seventy percent chance of winning against Tang Li Xue if they fought with the intention of killing each other.

Thus, it was almost impossible for the current Tang Li Xue without entering [Divine Possession] mode with Yaya to land a clear blow on Elder Yang.

Elder Yang's figure turned into a flash as he swiftly jumped backward to dodge Tang Li Xue's kick, but…

BANG~!!!

His body actually collided hard with someone who stood behind him, and he flew forward instead right at this moment!

"Upppsss~ I am really sorry…" Tang Li Xue's perfect copy said while secretly sneered mockingly at Elder Yang.

Elder Yang did not have any time to get angry at Tang Li Xue's perfect copy or move away to dodge anymore!

Meanwhile, the kick from Tang Li Xue that already lost her patience was quite powerful. 

She probably put about eighty percent of her strength in her kick this time!

Although her powerful kick was far from enough to kill Elder Yang in one attack but if she managed to land it on Elder Yang's crotch, it would be more than enough to cripple his manly part!

At the crucial moment when Tang Li Xue's powerful kick almost hit Elder Yang's crotch…

[Blood of Lust]'s first ability… [Blood Shield]!

Elder Yang controlled the power of his [Blood of Lust] carefully while hastily waved his hand to block Tang Li Xue's kick.

Elder Yang's blood sipped out from his skin and created the crimson-colored shield right in front of him!

Just when Elder Yang used his [Blood of Lust], the [Phoenix of Pride] in Tang Li Xue's body opened its blazing deep blue eyes!

The extremely hot deep blue flame burst out from Tang Li Xue's kick as it crashed hard onto Elder Yang's [Blood Shield]!

BBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM~!!!

An explosion happened as two Tang Li Xue's deep blue blazing kick struck Elder Yang's [Blood Shield].

Elder Yang's [Blood Shield] was filled with cracks, but Tang Li Xue herself bounced a few meters away.

She spun her body in the air and easily landed on the ground, but her feet still leave a long deep trail on the ground before she could stop herself from retreating.

Actually, Elder Yang already showed Tang Li Xue some mercy just now because he did not want to hurt Tang Li Xue.

Imagine if Elder Yang did not only create a plain [Blood Shield], but a [Blood Shield] filled with many sharp spikes?!

Tang Li Xue's feet would probably already pierced by some of those many sharp spikes right now.

Although, that kind of little wound was nothing for Tang Li Xue because her [High-Speed Regeneration] skill could heal it in only a few seconds.

Actually, Tang Li Xue was usually quite passive and, she would never attack the other first without any right reason. 

But her emotion was quite unstable and especially explosive right now because the raging emotion from her [Phoenix of Pride] when it managed to detect the [Blood of Lust] in Elder Yang's body affected her feeling too.

All the normal citizens started shouting and running away from there in a panic. The situation quickly turned really chaotic when all the panicked people there ran around like headless chickens.

Ye Zhen wanted to sprint toward his master, Elder Yang's side, to help him if needed, but Tang Li Xue's perfect copy suddenly blocked his way before he could do that. 

Ye Zhen became confused since he did not understand why Tang Li Xue's perfect copy did that.

When Ye Zhen stared at Tang Li Xue's perfect copy and wanted to ask why she blocked him…

"B*tch! How dare you attack Honorable Elder Yang in the middle of our city?!" Little Xian screamed in anger at Tang Li Xue.

"Guards! Arrest her right now!" Crown Prince Feng also shouted and all of the elite guards behind him immediately charged forward to capture Tang Li Xue.

Of course, both Crown Prince Feng and Little Xian would never dare to face Tang Li Xue by themselves since they already saw how powerful Tang Li Xue was when she kicked Elder Yang's [Blood Shield].

Both Crown Prince Feng and Little Xian would probably die in one kick if Tang Li Xue attacked them with the same amount of strength as before.

Meanwhile, Bing Yi and Hei Yinghao glanced at each other with a solemn expression, and they dashed forward in that instant to help Tang Li Xue.

The deep blue flame of pride already wrapped Tang Li Xue's slender figure, and she was ready to attack Elder Yang once again!

But Instructor Mei Lan immediately shouted to stop Tang Li Xue, Bing Yi, and Hei Yinghao from attacking anyone: "Halt!"

"Stop!" Elder Yang also yelled at the same time as Instructor Mei Lan to stop all of the guards from detaining Tang Li Xue.

At that moment after Instructor Mei Lan and Elder Yang shouted to stop, all the people there included all of the normal citizens and elite guards nearby, did not dare to move around so carelessly.

The situation was very tense that it made all the people there feel choked. They did not even dare to breathe loudly right now.

Even Instructor Mei Lan also felt really nervous right now.

When the situation turned chaotic just now, her [Sonar] ability managed to detect several powerful auras emitting from high-level cultivators.

'It seems my previous guess is not wrong… This Elder Yang is really secretly protected by several very strong cultivators from Immortal Sword Sect! His shout just now is not only to stop all these guards but also to stop those protectors from making a move to us!' Instructor Mei Lan thought in her mind. 

'It is really a close call… If I make a reckless move just now to kill this Elder Yang, we would probably not be able to leave this city alive anymore right now.' Instructor Mei Lan sighed in relief as cold sweat almost flown out from her forehead.

In fact, the Immortal Sword Sect already send some elders to this Tang Feng City to investigate the serial murder a few days ago, but they failed to find any clues, and some of them even went missing without leaving any trace.

That was the reason why Immortal Sword Sect's Patriarch decided to send a really smart person like Elder Yang to investigate it.

Of course, Immortal Sword Sect's Patriarch would never let Elder Yang have an accident, so he also sent several most powerful elders to protect him.

Elder Yang himself already reached the peak of the Mid-Rank Core Formation Stage, but he was more than capable to fight on toe against High-Rank Core Formation Stage.

So, the cultivation of each elder sent by Immortal Sword Sect's Patriarch to protect Elder Yang must be higher and stronger than even High-Rank Core Formation Stage!

"Honorable Elder Yang, I deeply apologize for my student's impudence. My student is still a little girl, so she is very impatient and hot-headed. It seems I failed to teach her about manners. I hope Elder Yang will not take her mistake to heart and punish her too heavily." Instructor Mei Lan said as she humbly lowered her head to apologize to Elder Yang.

Actually, Elder Yang really wanted to retaliate against Tang Li Xue so badly for attacking him so viciously!

How could he just forgive someone who nearly crippled his manly part with such a powerful kick?!

If he failed to defend against her attack before, his manly part would probably be roasted by her deep blue flame to nothingness by now!

Although, Elder Yang was very angry right now, but he was still so clear-headed to think.

If the girl in front of him right now was really his relative from his mother's family, then surely he could not recklessly arrest or punish her.

"Young teacher, please raise your head. This is not the mistake of you or your student at all. You all do not need to worry. It is only a small misunderstanding between us. I will hold your student accountable for that." Elder Yang said with a gentler tone this time.

Instructor Mei Lan smiled gently and nodded to Elder Yang, then called Tang Li Xue with a stern pissed tone: "Little Xue! Come here!"

Tang Li Xue reluctantly approached Instructor Mei Lan while lowered her head in guilt.

She did not feel wrong about arguing with Elder Yang before at all, but she admitted it in her heart that attacking Elder Yang so suddenly and viciously was her big mistake.

They were still in the middle of their enemy's territory after all. Attacking Elder Yang here was a completely unwise choice.

Her reckless act almost threw Instructor Mei Lan and the other into the middle of an irreversible dangerous situation!

"Kneel and apologize to Elder Yang right now!" Instructor Mei Lan ordered Tang Li Xue with a stern cold voice.

Elder Yang felt uncomfortable when he heard that and quickly said: "Uh, Young Teacher… you do not need to do this. I really do not mind it anymore. Actually, it could be said what happened before is my mistake since I suddenly asked to buy your student's ring necklace. It was natural for her to get angry at me because her ring necklace must be quite important for her."

Instructor Mei Lan shook her head to reject Elder Yang's kindness and said: "No! Even though she feels angry or offended, she should not attack Honourable Elder Yang so viciously like that! If her attack really hurt Honourable Elder Yang previously, even if she pays it with her life right now, it will not be enough to atone for her sin!"
