Nāgata: Infernal Night, Qinghan and I are True Love

Chapter 49 Ning Hongye VS Tang Yi

Gu Qinghan was somewhat surprised, but still returned the greeting simply without saying anything.

Liu Lian frowned, puzzled as to why this seemingly ordinary young man could become Miss Gu's fiancée.

“Miss Gu, it’s only been a month since we last met, and you’re already engaged. This has really caught me off guard.”

Liu Lian maintained his composure.

Xu Tianyi wanted to say something more, but Ning Hongye stopped him.

He quickly calmed down.

It's laughable that I, upon seeing such an elegant and noble rival, actually felt such a childish urge to compare myself to her. How is that any different from a puppy guarding its food?

Getting excited before the other party has even made a move makes one appear less assertive.

Xu Tianyi remained silent, but Gu Qinghan was very accommodating. She glanced at him and only stepped forward to answer after seeing him nod.

This move completely regained the face that Xu Tianyi had just lost.

It has to be said that the two women sometimes gave him face.

"Young Master Liu is too kind. You must have already learned of Qinghan's background by following me here. Is your purpose in coming here to capture Qinghan and the others to curry favor with Prince Qi?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Lian fell silent.

Gu Qinghan was the first girl to make his heart flutter like this.

However, he was the head of the Liu family, and she was a member of the Crown Prince's faction. If he wanted to have any dealings with her, he would have to side with the Crown Prince.

Runzhou is nestled between the vast grasslands, Yunzhou, Zhongzhou, Yongzhou, Huoluo Kingdom, and Kunlun.

What kind of place is this?

If he were to betray the empire, then Yunzhou, Yongzhou, and Zhongzhou would all send troops to attack him.

The Liu family's thousand-year-old legacy will be destroyed in an instant.

After a moment, he sighed silently.

"I am here to assist you as a friend of Young Master Tang Yi."

He had already lost interest in Gu Qinghan, and it wasn't just because of their different social statuses.

If it were because of his identity, he would still want to save Qinghan.

The main reason is that Xu Tianyi and Gu Qinghan are so close.

In his eyes, Gu Qinghan already belonged to him, and even if he were to take her away, it would be meaningless, since he didn't like married women.

Thinking of this, he continued, "Brother Tang, please continue."

Tang Yi, standing to the side, was waving a nunchaku in his hand, a carefree smile on his lips.

"Brother Liu, my daughter is actually quite good too..."

Liu Lian frowned: "Brother Tang, you must be joking... Your daughter is only twelve years old..."

"Haha...Alright, alright, then I'll get down to business."

He stepped forward and stared at Black Impermanence: "Robbing the tribute ship is a capital offense!"

He turned to look at Gu Qinghan again: "Princess, Prince Qi requests your return to Jidi City."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Black Impermanence adjusted the surging true energy within his body and looked at him intently.

"Even a Grandmaster in the late stage cannot fight off an army by himself. You are too confident."

Xu Tianyi stepped forward as well: "Trying to take Qinghan away is absolutely impossible!"

The smile on Tang Yi's lips did not fade.

"If I can't kill you, I can kill the girl next to you..."

He turned to Ning Hongye and said, "The man in front of you is only a Grand Martial Master."

"I'll give you ten breaths to produce an answer that satisfies me. Otherwise, I will definitely keep you here and give King Qi an explanation!"

Xu Tianyi and Hei Wuchang began to think frantically.

If he were to leave now, he would certainly not be able to outrun Tang Yi, who is at the late stage of the Grandmaster realm.

If Black Impermanence were to cover the rear, she would probably run away with Ji Yingying.

With this escape, no one has a chance to fight anymore.

It's fine to rely on Ning Hongye to stop Tang Yi, but what if Liu Lian makes a move?

The two exchanged a glance and both knew their answer.

"How about we decide the final answer through a martial arts contest?"

Tang Yi's lips curled up: "Alright, then, who among you will challenge me?"

Black Impermanence dared not; she was no match for Tang Yi.

Ning Hongye slowly walked out: "Are all members of the Tang family so fond of bullying the weak?"

Xu Tianyi tugged at her arm: "Are you confident?"

Ning Hongye shook her head: "Let's give it a try..."

She knew that only she could stop him, but if she went all out, her identity would be exposed.

But now there's no other choice.

Gu Qinghan and Xu Tianyi were extremely important to her.

Tang Yi glanced at her, then silently nodded: "This way..."

He took a large step and went straight into the river a hundred meters away.

Ning Hongye followed.

Liu Lian, who remained behind, silently watched the others.

He smiled and said, "Then come with me..."

Hei Wuxian was somewhat resentful that Liu Lian was young and also a grandmaster.

It's ridiculous that I'm twenty years older than him, yet our cultivation levels are the same.

Displeased, she flew to the other side of the river.

Xu Tianyi took a deep breath; he was somewhat disappointed.

I'm only a Grandmaster, I can't help with anything.

Gu Qinghan thought the same thing.

He could have broken through to the Grandmaster level, but he was just one step away from it.

Yingying, standing behind, was filled with envy. If she had such strength, she would definitely storm the Ji family and seek justice for herself.

With a deafening explosion, Ning Hongye unleashed a burst of Yin energy, sweeping towards Tang Yi.

"Snapped!!"

Tang Yi shattered the sword with a flick of his whip.

He already knew the other party's identity.

This battle is nothing more than playing around with Ning Hongye.

As a close confidant of the King of Qi, it was absolutely impossible for him to kill the King of Qi's daughter.

He and Xue Mantian shared the same idea: to capture her and hand her over to the King of Qi.

Gu Qinghan is the Crown Prince's daughter, and Prince Qi wants to capture her to blackmail the Crown Prince.

Ning Hongye is the daughter of the King of Qi, and the King of Qi wants to capture her and bring her back to see his daughter.

Ning Hongye has been arrogant and domineering in the vicinity of Yongzhou for many years, causing trouble everywhere.

How could the King of Qi not know that this was his own daughter?

I've wanted to catch her for a long time, but she's too slippery, and I haven't found the opportunity yet.

This is Tang Yi's chance.

Grandmaster-level battles typically involve a contest of momentum and ranged martial arts techniques such as sword energy.

Close combat is only an option when one is at a disadvantage.

Ning Hongye's movement and swordsmanship are both quite good, and Tang Yi and Liu Lian are both martial arts fanatics, so they are naturally geniuses as well.

As the two fought, sword energy danced and staff shadows flew.

Explosions continued to erupt on the surface of the river.

Tang Yi easily suppressed Ning Hongye's sword energy with his late-stage Grandmaster cultivation.

He wanted to wear down Ning Hongye's true energy until it was completely depleted, and then capture her.

Ning Hongye, on the other hand, was stuck in a stalemate.

At first, she thought she could use her Yin God Eye to see the flaws in the opponent's staff shadow and use a small amount of Yin energy to defeat the opponent's true energy.

In this way, I can completely outlast my opponent.

When he fought Xue Mantian, he did the same thing, and he even injured Xue Mantian, who was at the peak of the Grandmaster level.

This is also the reason why he dared to challenge Tang Yi, a master in the later stages of the Grandmaster realm.

Unexpectedly, Tang Yi discovered this matter in less than ten moves of combat.

He adjusted the rhythm of his offensive, forcing himself to reanalyze, which made it impossible for him to easily counter most of his attacks.

The consumption of Yin energy is increasing day by day. Even if there is no shortage of Yin energy in the surrounding area, the rate at which it can be absorbed is far slower than the rate at which it is consumed.

The opponent, however, remained as steady as a mountain.

After much deliberation, Ning Hongye activated the Crimson Serpent of Ignorance, his enormous scarlet eyes fixed intently on Tang Yi.
