Douluo: Did you move Danta here?

Chapter 486 Rescue
Feeling the completely uncontrollable soul power within his body and the stinging pain in his meridians, Xun Guang was plunged into despair. If he fell, no one in the family would be able to match the enemy before him. At that time, the Xun family would face a one-sided massacre. Even if the Xun family managed to survive, it would be devoured by other nobles who already had grudges against each other.

The poison had already entered his body, and no matter how unwilling he was, it was all in vain. Xun Guang could only watch with resentment as the Demon Eagle walked towards him step by step. The mechanism in the Demon Eagle's hand gradually made the sound of being cocked. Combining this with the hidden weapons that the Demon Eagle had released earlier, he knew that he would most likely die from this thing.

"The Tang Clan's mission completion rate is absolutely flawless, and this time will be no exception."

"Become my nourishment, and I will make good use of my improved cultivation."

Arriving in front of Xun Guang, the Demon Eagle slowly raised the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow in its hand and aimed it at Xun Guang's forehead. Just a second before Xun Guang was about to pull the trigger, a golden sword aura swept across the sky and rushed towards him.

The demon eagle, its expression changing slightly, immediately withdrew its raised arm and dodged to the side.

"Who goes there? How dare you interfere in the affairs of the Tang Clan? Don't you want to live?"

As the demonic eagle voiced its question, a slender, graceful figure slowly descended from the sky and landed before it. Three pairs of golden wings on its back made all evil nowhere to hide.

"Even Tang San wouldn't dare to spout such nonsense, so what are you?"

Qian Renxue stared at the demonic eagle with indignation in her eyes, her gaze as if looking at trash deeply stinging the other party.

"A woman? You really don't know anything. How dare you address the sect leader by his name?"

"Hmph, what right do sewer rats have to talk about names? It's utterly ridiculous."

Qian Renxue was dissatisfied because she had learned about the Xun family of the Kingdom of Oswell when she was still on the throne. They were considered one of the few conscientious noble families in the empire. Now, however, they had been driven into a desperate situation by the group of people she hated the most. How could she not be angry?
"Since you are so ungrateful, I will use you as my first target before killing Xun Guang. Die!"

"Sixth Soul Skill: Demon Eagle Flash".

Clearly enraged, the demonic eagle quickly transformed into a streak of black light and attacked Qian Renxue. However, there was an insurmountable gap between their cultivation levels, and the seemingly fatal attack did not put any pressure on the little angel, who successfully blocked it with the angel's protection.

Although Xun Guang did not understand who the person in front of him was or why he had come to rescue the Xun family, this did not prevent him from seeing a glimmer of hope in his despair.

"Be careful, young lady. This guy can launch all sorts of strange iron weapons, all coated with deadly poison. That's how I fell for it."

Qian Renxue ignored the warning from behind, her eyes fixed on the demonic eagle that had retreated after missing its target. She wanted to see what the eagle was capable of.

Seeing that the woman in front of him ignored him, Xun Guang suddenly became anxious. He could not tell that Qian Renxue had the strength and cultivation to crush the Demon Eagle.

Just as he was about to say something, a hand landed on his broad shoulder, making the clan leader tremble all over.

"When...when?"

Indeed, Xun Guang, a Soul Saint, was completely unaware that someone had appeared behind him. This meant that it would be incredibly easy for the other party to take his life. Even the Demon Eagle, known for his infiltration and assassination skills, could detect when someone approached.

"You should worry about the toxins in your body. That guy can't cause any trouble."

Mechanically turning his head, he was met with Ning Bei's handsome face, which wore a convincing and confident smile.

"Who are you? Why are you helping my Xun family?" Upon hearing this, Ning Bei rolled her eyes. Was this considered a clan leader's basic vigilance? If the two of them had any ulterior motives, wouldn't it be better to wait until you were gone before coming to help?
"You're overthinking it. Who would bother with the life or death of a mere Soul Saint like you? Our target is just those guys."

Following Ning Bei's finger pointing in the direction of the demonic eagle, Xun Guang's lips twitched slightly. What did he mean by "a mere Soul Saint"? This young upstart had quite the nerve!

Just as he was lost in thought, a round pill slowly appeared before his eyes.

"Eat it, or you might not last an hour. Of course, if you don't trust me, you can choose not to eat it, and I'll take pity on you and find you a good burial site."

"By the way, epitaphs and the like are not within my consideration."

"call."

Taking a deep breath, Xun Guangqiang suppressed the urge to lick his hands and swallowed the pill in front of him without hesitation. He knew better than anyone the toxins in his body. Ning Bei's estimate that he wouldn't last more than an hour was already a conservative estimate. He didn't want to dwell on the two people's motives anymore, since the situation couldn't be much worse than it was now. Trying anything as a last resort might be a good option.

However, his desperate attempt to find a cure immediately led to a complete reshaping of his worldview. Less than three seconds after the pill entered his stomach, he felt a refreshing sensation throughout his body, and the toxin that had been troubling him vanished without a trace after encountering the medicinal power. In just over ten seconds, Xun Guang, who had been unable to move, stood up as if nothing had happened, looking back and forth at his hands with disbelief in his eyes.

"You...you..."

"Stop this. Do you still think your mere Soul Saint level is worth my scheming?"

"Thank you for saving our lives. The Xun family will never forget this. Once this matter is resolved, the Xun family will certainly not shirk its responsibilities if there is anything we need to do."

Realizing he had received an immense favor from someone, Xun Guang's attitude immediately underwent a 180-degree turn, adopting an extremely humble posture. However, this did not dispel Ning Bei's thoughts of complaining about him.

"I've already told you, you're just a minor Soul Saint. What could you possibly be able to help me with? Instead of wasting my time looking for you, I'd rather go to the Temple of Angels, burn incense, and pray that the people I can't beat die."

"Forehead"

Xun Guang, the usually refined clan leader, was speechless and red-faced by Ning Bei's words, completely at a loss for words. He secretly thought to himself that this young man had a sharp tongue.

Fortunately, the battle between Qian Renxue and Mo Ying in front of him was drawing his attention, preventing him from wanting to disappear into the ground.

Looking at the demonic eagle that was trying to outrun her with its speed, the little angel's lips curled into a disdainful smile. When it came to speed, her angelic race had never been afraid of anyone.

"First Soul Skill: Angelic Charge".

The little angel, now in Martial Soul Possession state, transformed into a streak of light and shot straight toward the demonic eagle not far away. This caught the eagle off guard, and soon a deep, bone-revealing wound was left on its chest.

The flowing blood made the Demon Eagle's expression even more ferocious. He turned back to look at Qian Renxue, who was passing by, and his voice was as cold as ice.

"Damn woman, I'll tear you to pieces."
