Chapter 882: Soaring into the Sky
Yann Hui's face was iron blue at this moment.
He looked at the fallen Guihai Tianxing, his eyes filled with rage.
Before leaving, he had promised the family head that he would protect the young master's safety.
But now, Guihai Tianxing was killed right in front of his eyes.
In his hundreds of years of life, he had never been so furious as today.
"I want you dead!"
Yann Hui roared angrily, his gray-white hair wildly disheveled.
His eyes turned blood-red, staring at Xu Nian like a mortal enemy.
"Boom!"
A loud explosion.
The ground beneath Yann Hui's feet formed a pit, and his whole body soared into the air.
The fierce sonic boom seemed to tear everyone's eardrums.
His speed was as fast as lightning!
Everyone around was stunned, mouths agape.
Xu Nian also felt a chill down his spine, a strong sense of death enveloping him.
Xu Nian dared not delay, raising the Kunlun Hammer and using the Ten Thousand Divine Hammer Technique.
He pushed his soul power to the limit, like a vast ocean, crashing toward Yann Hui.
"Humph!"
Yann Hui snorted coldly.
The true essence in his hand surged, directly punching towards Xu Nian's Kunlun Hammer.
"Boom!"
The spiritual sense power on the Kunlun Hammer exploded, and the terrifying force transmitted directly to Xu Nian's chest.
"Puff!"
Xu Nian spat out blood violently, his body flying backward like a falling meteorite.
"Buzz!"
The Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar used space shuttling to appear behind Xu Nian's true body, countering the terrifying force.
"So strong!"
Xu Nian marveled in his heart.
A Transcendance Tribulation Stage expert was indeed not someone he could contend with.
Just one punch was enough to damage his internal organs.
"It seems I have no choice but to merge," Xu Nian murmured to himself.
Now the Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar had reached the Early Stage Cave Void.
If he combined with his true body, he might barely resist a few moves from Yann Hui.
But even after a few moves, he would still be in great danger.
But right now, he had no choice at all!
"Prepare to die!" Yann Hui shouted angrily, breaking through the wind towards Xu Nian.
His sleeves billowed, seeming to carry a vast momentum, slapping directly towards Xu Nian's face.
He wanted to kill this young man directly!
Xu Nian was also anxious, preparing to merge with the avatar.
"Stop!"
Just then, a cold voice rang out.
Everyone then saw a captivating figure appear in front of Xu Nian, also launching a palm strike.
Forcing Yann Hui to retreat.
"It's her!"
Everyone around was shocked.
They originally thought Xu Nian was doomed to die.
But unexpectedly, she appeared and shielded Xu Nian, perhaps intending to save him.
Yann Hui was also shocked, staring intently at the suddenly appearing figure.
"Fairy Mei Ji, what do you mean by this?" Yann Hui asked coldly.
If Mei Ji truly intended to protect Xu Nian, he might not be able to kill him.
This made his heart heavy.
"Senior Yann Hui, Xu Nian is my friend and a Supreme guest of Tianbao Pavilion. He has also been designated as a Top-Grade Refiner by our pavilion. If you want to kill him, I cannot stand by and watch," Mei Ji smiled.
Every smile and frown exuded charm.
Everyone around was astonished upon hearing this.
Supreme guest?
Designated Top-Grade Refiner of Tianbao Pavilion?
How could this be possible?
The most crucial point was, Mei Ji said he was her friend!
Just the word "friend" itself carried immense power.
Yann Hui's brows furrowed tighter, never expecting Mei Ji to say such things.
Designated Top-Grade Refiner of Tianbao Pavilion?
Now killing Xu Nian had become quite troublesome.
If he killed Xu Nian, he would be going against Tianbao Pavilion.
No matter how strong the Guihai Family was, they couldn't contend with Tianbao Pavilion!
And now Mei Ji was blocking him.
Everyone knew that Mei Ji had intricate ties with Mu Residence Lord.
Just Mu Residence Lord alone could wipe out the entire Guihai Family with a flick of a finger.
"Xu Nian is your designated Top-Grade Refiner? It seems that to be designated, he would need a token issued by the Pavilion Master, right?" Yann Hui seemed to have thought of something, hastily asking.
"What, you don't believe me? If you don't, I'll show you the token!" Mei Ji took out a Red Gold Token with the words "designated" engraved on it.
"It's real!" Everyone around exclaimed in shock.
They never expected Xu Nian to be the designated Top-Grade Refiner of Tianbao Pavilion.
Xu Nian was also surprised, wondering when he had chosen to join Tianbao Pavilion.
"Master Xu, would you like to accept this token?" Mei Ji turned to Xu Nian with a smile.
Ever since Xu Nian had refined two thousand Top-Grade Spiritual Artifacts at once.
Manager Liu reported this to the main pavilion.
So the Master sent Mei Ji to preside over the auction and to persuade Xu Nian to join Tianbao Pavilion.
Hence, Mei Ji already had the token prepared for Xu Nian.
Xu Nian smiled wryly; at this moment, even if he did not want to, he had to accept it.
If he refused, Yann Hui would not spare him.
"Don't worry, designated refiners of Tianbao Pavilion are free, generally just under our name. When we need some Spiritual Artifacts, you can refine some for us," Mei Ji seemed to have seen through Xu Nian's thoughts and explained with a smile.
Xu Nian felt relieved after hearing this and accepted the token.
He didn't want to be confined and solely refine artifacts for others.
Since there were no restrictions on freedom, there was no need to worry.
Everyone around was speechless.
It seemed like Xu Nian was just now accepting the appointment.
Yann Hui was also furious.
But now, he had no way; Xu Nian had been appointed.
No matter how angry he was, he couldn't attack Xu Nian.
"In that case, Xu Nian, you are lucky today. But don't be too happy. For offending the Guihai Family, you are still doomed." Yann Hui furiously flicked his sleeves.
He left with Guihai Tianxing's corpse, turning into a stream of light and disappearing.
Everyone around felt deeply emotional seeing Yann Hui forced to leave.
This guy killed Guihai Tianxing and still survived, it was a miracle.
Xu Nian, however, smiled bitterly.
He had long expected Mei Ji to be watching; he was betting on whether she would help him.
It seemed he had bet correctly!
"Are you alright?" Mei Ji turned to Xu Nian with a smile.
"If you had watched a little longer, there really would have been a problem," Xu Nian said irritably.
He knew Mei Ji had arrived long ago but hadn't taken action until now.
Clearly, she was assessing him.
And she acted at the critical moment to make Xu Nian feel grateful.
Xu Nian couldn't say anything about this. After all, whether Mei Ji acted or not was her decision.
"I didn't expect you to kill Guihai Tianxing in the face of a Transcendance Tribulation Stage expert, truly surprising," Mei Ji smiled.
Xu Nian shook his head helplessly and said, "Let's get going!"
"Alright!"
Mei Ji smiled slightly and waved her hand.
A beautifully designed triangular spaceship appeared before Xu Nian.
The spaceship was as large as a house.
"This is a cosmic flying ship jointly refined by ten Top-Grade Refiner Masters. With it, we can travel quickly through the universe. Let's go inside!" Mei Ji smiled.
Then she stepped into the ship.
Xu Nian, surprised, followed her.
The ship was much larger than his flying boat.
"Take off!"
With Mei Ji's order, the ship turned into a stream of light and soared into the sky!
