Chapter 101: Chapter 102 The Old Thespian

Separated by the icy void, the courtyard still maintained the gentle warmth of spring and summer, with the azure autumnal nanmu trees gently swaying, unaffected by the strong currents, branches, and leaves all intact.
Li Yunzi looked at the ice-space curtain with some worry, and her slender, fair fingers would unconsciously grip tightly, but whenever she concentrated, fine
beads of sweat would form on her forehead.
She stood up, wanting to leave the courtyard, when a voice came from outside the ice-space world, gentle and calm, not at all like it was amidst a fierce battle.
“Don’t agitate your injuries, just stay calm inside the yard, I can handle it.”
“I’m worried about Ling Sha.”
Thedy is still a bit shy, after all.
Having witnessed the scene of Nan Lingsha painting the city, Zhu Minng thought it was those who contended with Nan Lingsha that should be worrying.
Zhu Minng had previously been puzzled by why Li Yunzi would wage war so extensively with an uncertain foundation. Looking at the current situation, the assassins were only a few people from the Sect Pce, not a city full of powerful warriors…
He could roughly understand now; it seemed the so-called sisterly strife was merely an illusion to mislead all who would hinder Li Yunzi on her path.
Of course, Zhu Minng was hindsight; from the beginning, everything he learned, facts and rumors alike, indicated that Li Yunzi was virtually unsupported in the Ancestral Dragon City-State, aside from havingmand over troops.
If Zhu Minng believed it, there was no reason others wouldn’t.
Understanding this in his heart, he also felt somewhat relieved.
Relieved that Nan Lingsha was on Li Yunzi’s side; otherwise, even if Hei Ya and Qing Zhuo had ascended to Dragon Lord Level, they might have been unable to stop the relentless pursuit of the entire city!
“Be careful. If you’re overpowered, retreat back here. I can handle it,” the voice of Li Yunzi still came through.
“Okay.”
Rubble, craters, and wreckage of pavilions and towersy scattered all around.
Du Cheng and the Four Heroes of the n Pce kept their distance, watching Zhu Minng and the Ice Morning White Dragon with furious eyes.
“Are you saying your final goodbyes? You’d better say everything now; I’m afraid you won’t have the chance very soon!” Du Cheng’s tone started to turn cold as he approached Zhu Minng, walking through the ruined Li Imperial Pce.
At that moment, the four had also summoned their dragon beasts, some with sturdy and massive bodies like fortress towers, others grotesque and bizarre,parable to ancient fierce creatures.
And among them was one who had summoned the Azure Dragon of Thunder!
This Azure Dragon of Thunder floated in the air like an ancient demonic whale, its flesh as tough as steel rock, and what’s more dramatic was that half of its body was enveloped in storm clouds, with lightning generated from within the clouds enough to tear open the sky and illuminate it!
Dragon Lord Level!
The Azure Dragon of Thunder was evidently a creature of Dragon Lord Level as well; as it swam through the air, the cosmos seemed to turn into its raging sea, capable of stirring up towering waves with just a movement!
And Du Cheng was certainly no ordinary individual.
He was a God and Mortal, with ghostly movements. As he walked, he would inexplicably vanish within thend of debris, with only asional glimpses of his figure visible.
The moment he exerted the Power of God and Mortality, he became shadowy and eerie, his form as if shrouded by ayer of deathly haze, bearing a striking resemnce to the ck Impermanence of folklore, walking through theherworld, roaming in the ghostly night!
Luckily, Zhu Minng had encountered quite a few Divine and Mortals before, and he was able to discern some patterns in their abilities.
“Let the dragon beasts engage Bai Qi, has hee to harvest souls?” Zhu Minng understood Du Cheng’s intent now.
Therefore, he wouldn’t give Du Cheng the chance to get close to him.
It wasn’t just one dragon, after all.
Zhu Minng had already summoned the Divine Green Holy Dragon. As soon as Du Cheng got close, he decisively jumped onto the back of the Divine Green Holy Dragon.
Soar through the sky,e up here and fight if you dare!
Du Cheng, like a chilling specter, first tried to break through the Ice Space World, intending to directly kill Li Yunzi…
But at this moment, the female heroine hurriedly spoke up to warn Du Cheng, “Young master, do not act rashly. Li Yunzi is a Lord Level upper echelon God and Mortal. If she has recovered from her injuries, I’m afraid you might lose your life.”
Du Cheng furrowed his brows.
Was the intelligence urate or not? Wasn’t it said that Li Yunzi had sustained severe injuries and didn’t even have the strength of a general’s level? Howe now they were saying there was trickery involved?
“Let’s kill this Dragon Shepherd first. We can join forces to surround and attack Li Yunziter. Be cautious, young master!” the female heroine continued.
The female heroine was the master of the Azure Dragon of Lei Kun, a fierce Dragon Beast strong enough to confront the Ice Morning White Dragon head on.
“Alright, let’s kill him first…” Du Cheng was about to step onto the ice curtain and leap over when suddenly a fierce and fiery punch came from the outer side of the frozenke!!
The punch was like a me, leaping over the iceke and snow pavilion, heading straight for Du Cheng at an astonishing speed!
Du Cheng was terrified and quickly fled. You could see his afterimages multiply, like a bodiless spirit’s ghostly garment flowing sideways…
But the punch was so domineering that even the outer force of the wind sweeping by Du Cheng blew him away, smashing him into the ruins and shoveling aside who knows how many remains of buildings!
Zhu Minng in the air, with one nce, saw that on the other side of the pavilionke, a person had appeared at some unknown time.
This person had ordinary features, dark skin, and wore nothing but the attire of a kitchen-hand, but it was that face that made Zhu Minng feel he had seen it somewhere—simple and honest!
I have seen this person before.
I have definitely seen this person before.
Zhu Minng was certain, but just couldn’t recall.
“Fist Master! !”
The gaunt powerhouse couldn’t help but exim, and a rare light showed in his sunken eyes, but it was one of terror.
Zhan An, the Fist Master with fierce punches. Wasn’t he a God and Mortal who had faded from public view for many years?
Why would he show up here?
“No, no, that God and Mortal is this man!” The gaunt hero suddenly realized, pointing at the middle-aged, honest-looking man and shouting.
From the moment he entered this ce, the gaunt hero had sensed that in the vicinity of this annex, there was only one God and Mortal and one Dragon Shepherd.
But now he realized a problem.
If Li Yunzi’s injury was a deception, then with her Cultivation Base far beyond his own, he might not be able to detect her God and Mortal aura.
And if she indeed was injured, with a weak God and Mortal aura close to Mortals, that also would not be easy to capture.
So the one with the very obvious God and Mortal aura wasn’t Li Yunzi, but this man!
Zhan An, the Fist Master. If this was over a decade ago, there was nobody who did not know his name, even in foreignnds and the Sect Pce, he was well known.
But to the younger generation like Du Cheng and the female heroine, they had never heard of this man.
Thus, when Du Cheng was blown away by a punch, his face covered in dirt, he became even more infuriated, his eyes staring at the unremarkable-looking Zhan An like a ghostly death re.
“Young brother, we meet again.” Zhan An walked along the frozenke, saw
Zhu Minng looking at him, and then waved to Zhu Minng up in the air.
Only at this moment did Zhu Minng finally remember who this simple and honest farmer was!
Wasn’t this the down-to-earth shepherd uncle who had sent Li Shaoying to school in the beginning?
There once was a time when Zhu Minng thought he was an old actor, always ying the fool to catch the wise, butpared to the uncle before him, he was just too green!
