Chapter 1043: Living Up to You
"How did he just..." Murong Xue looked at Xu Nian, who had suddenly appeared in front of her, and murmured incredulously.
Just now, Xu Nian had definitely appeared out of thin air.
A moment ago, he was several miles away, and the next moment, he was in front of her, taking a punch from the giant ape for her.
If it was just relying on speed, that would be impossible.
"Instant Teleportation!"
The words suddenly popped into Murong Xue's mind.
She found it incredible.
Feng Cheng, standing beside them, was also shocked at the scene of Xu Nian punching the giant ape away.
To launch the giant ape with a punch, how terrifying must that strength be?
Xu Nian, at this moment, ignored the shocked gazes of the others and kept his eyes fixed fiercely on the giant ape ahead.
He was genuinely angry.
This giant ape actually tried to harm Murong Xue.
If he hadn't intervened in time, Murong Xue would probably have been seriously injured at the very least.
This was something Xu Nian couldn't tolerate.
"Roar!"
The giant ape let out a roar, its eyes filled with anger as it glared at Xu Nian.
Only at this moment did Xu Nian give it a sense of danger.
"You're not convinced?" Xu Nian looked at the giant ape and said.
"Roar!"
The giant ape roared again, its roar shaking the heavens.
"Hmph, then I'll beat you into submission." Xu Nian shouted loudly.
The next moment, his figure instantly darted out, moving at an extremely fast speed, seemingly appearing beside the giant ape out of nowhere.
"Boom!"
Xu Nian punched directly at the giant ape's abdomen.
The giant ape's body instantly bent over, and its form was once again knocked off the ground, flying backward.
"This..."
Feng Cheng was dumbfounded.
Is this guy a humanoid monster?
What kind of power is needed in a punch to achieve such an effect?
Murong Xue was also astonished, her expression shockingly incredulous.
The giant ape was in pain at this moment.
How did this guy's strength suddenly increase so much?
However, Xu Nian had no intention to stop, appearing behind the giant ape once more, landing another punch.
"Boom!"
The ground rumbled, and the Mixed Element Vajra Ape slammed into the ground, creating a deep pit.
"So strong!"
Feng Cheng was in a daze.
Is this guy really in the Late Stage Tribulation Crossing?
Since when did guys in the transcendance tribulation stage become so powerful?
Thinking of this, Feng Cheng turned to look at Murong Xue, seemingly acknowledging she was also in the transcendance tribulation stage.
Though quite exceptional, when compared to Xu Nian, she was not as extreme.
"I concede!" The Mixed Element Vajra Ape quickly admitted defeat seeing Xu Nian ready to strike again.
It was truly afraid.
This guy's power was too terrifying.
That strange energy, its power was immense.
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian paused, and the next moment he dropped to the ground from mid-air.
Although his body could now bear the Kun Cave Power.
The continuous exertion still caused significant damage to his body.
But defeating the Vajra Giant Ape was worth the price paid.
This creature was too strong, fortunately, it hadn't entered the Middle Stage Earth Immortal.
If it had tempered its body similarly, Xu Nian could have done nothing to it.
Of course, the Vajra Giant Ape wasn't the strongest among Early Stage Earth Immortals.
If encountering someone with a higher understanding of Profound Argumentation, holding an Immortal Artifact.
Using Immortal Essence to drive the Immortal Artifact, the power would be even more terrifying.
At least Feng Cheng didn't possess an Immortal Artifact.
"Are you okay?" Murong Xue flew over from a distance, seeing Xu Nian's pale face, she asked worriedly.
"I'm fine! Just over-exhausted; I'll recover soon." Xu Nian forced a smile and replied.
He was naturally happy that Murong Xue cared about him.
"You've won, you can go in now, but I must warn you, there's an even stronger creature inside with a bad temper. If you anger it, don't blame me if you die." The Mixed Element Vajra Ape said as it sat up from the ground.
"Thank you!" Xu Nian bowed his head respectfully to the Mixed Element Vajra Ape.
This Mixed Element Vajra Ape wasn't actually bad; it acted because of its duty.
But now that Xu Nian had defeated it, it wouldn't trouble them further.
Xu Nian didn't want to be enemies with a Divine Beast Descendant like this.
And the Vajra Giant Ape had clearly exhausted its goodwill by warning him.
Xu Nian didn't immediately enter the depths of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain.
His injuries had not yet fully recovered.
Forcing an entrance into the mountain range would only make things more dangerous.
"Take this!" Murong Xue came up to Xu Nian and handed over a pill.
"What kind of pill is this?" Xu Nian asked in surprise.
"Freak, this is the Putuo Pill, the Healing Holy Medicine of the Tiancang Sect, top-grade among top-grade elixirs, incredibly precious." Feng Cheng said from the side, jealousy in his eyes.
This guy actually managed to get a Putuo Pill from Tiancang Sect.
And it was gifted by the number one beauty of Tiancang Sect.
If Tiancang Sect knew about this, they might want to kill someone out of anger.
Xu Nian was a little surprised too, not expecting Murong Xue to give him such a valuable pill.
"Thank you!"
However, Xu Nian still decided to accept it.
He placed the pill in his mouth.
"Did we really know each other in the past?" Murong Xue asked, now sitting next to Xu Nian as he took the pill, seeming somewhat relieved.
"We did! You left back then because you blocked a sword for me, facing death." Xu Nian answered honestly.
Murong Xue was a bit surprised, she blocked a sword for him?
Why couldn't she remember any of it?
"Do you believe what I say?" Xu Nian looked at Murong Xue with a smile and asked.
"I believe you!" Murong Xue hesitated, then nodded.
"We met because you were chased; you were only in your teens then, poisoned by an arrow. I found you by accident, removed the poison for you, and to divert your pursuers, I left. But when I came back for you, you were gone. I've never forgotten you since. Fate played its hand, and we met again at the Academy, where you still held a jade pendant I had inadvertently left behind, just like this one." Xu Nian said with a smile.
As he finished, a black jade pendant appeared in his hand.
Murong Xue looked at the black jade pendant, her eyes began to grow blurry.
The next moment, she clutched her head, showing signs of pain.
"If you can't remember, don't force it!" Xu Nian hastily said.
Murong Xue, however, with a resolute gaze and a pained expression, said, "One day, I'll remember everything. If what you say is true, I shall not fail you in this life."
Xu Nian was taken aback upon hearing this, then let out a smile.
He didn't expect Murong Xue to say such words.
"Fool, the one who should not fail you is me," Xu Nian mused silently.
These words he didn't speak out loud.
But he swore in his heart to protect Murong Xue for a lifetime, never to abandon her.
