Chapter 1166: Chapter 1155: The Three Rookies of the Nalan Family
These three people, even though they’re not core members of the Nalan Family, their entry into the Object-Manipulating Realm has drawn attention from the family. They are being carefully cultivated and have become key members of this vanguard team.
One would think that having three experts in the Object-Manipulating Realm set a fire would have a high success rate, right?
At least, that’s what they’re thinking now.
“Yes, let’s do it this way.”
The voices of the few people grew softer and softer, finally sharing smiles and nodding in agreement, very satisfied with their plan.
After all, they’re greenhorns just out of the gate, who only know to attack by surprise and don’t know the principle of knowing oneself and the enemy to be victorious in every battle.
Within just a few minutes, Nalan Shi, Nalan Hu, and Nalan Pao had left amidst the crowd’s gaze, armed with weapons.
Among the people seeing them off, besides their peers, was an old fellow hiding behind the tent.
He was Nalan Invincible.
At this moment, trying to recall them would likely be too late. He could only sneer inwardly, “These little brats really won’t shed a tear until they see the coffin. Since that’s the case, let them suffer a bit. Only after they’ve hit a wall will they understand the principle of learning from mistakes. Even if this comes back to bite later, it’s not my old man’s fault.”
Thinking of this, Nalan Invincible shook his head and returned to his tent to sleep soundly without a care.
As for Nalan Shi, Nalan Hu, and Nalan Pao, these three guys…
Young and fearless, like ghosts, they sneaked towards the Ning Family.
Who would have thought, before they even climbed over the wall, they’d be spotted in advance by the Ning Family’s patrol team?
“Who’s there?”
The sudden shout startled the three guys, who quickly crouched low, hiding in the bushes, not daring to breathe.
“Come out, don’t hide. I’ve seen you.”
The Ning Family protector leader’s bluff made the three greenhorns believe it was true.
For a moment, the three from the Nalan Family exchanged glances, cold sweat on their foreheads, panting heavily.
“What do we do now?”
“Since they found us, staying here is asking to die.”
“What else, they’re so close, running away is already too late. Soon it will be a close-quarters fight.”
“Stop talking and fight. We fear Ning Qiankun and Ning Fan, but are we really afraid of these small fry?”
Nalan Pao, known for his fiery temper, immediately stood up, exposing his position.
“Little lord’s right here, come and kill me if you dare.”
This shout, not only attracted the attention of the Ning Family patrol team but also left Nalan Shi and Nalan Hu speechless and bitter.
What a pig teammate.
Suppressing their anger, they knew this was a time to unite against the common enemy, not to quarrel among themselves, so they also stood up.
The three of them stood in a triangle formation, teeming with vitality as they gazed arrogantly at the distant patrol team.
“You little thieves, how dare you!”
Seeing these three guys not only unafraid but standing there without escaping ignited the patrol team leader’s fury. His face darkened, pointing at them, shouting, “Get them, kill these three, remember, try to catch them alive.”
“Yes.”
With the command, the patrol team members immediately drew their weapons and charged at the Nalan Family’s three youngsters.
“Hehe…”
The three young men from the Nalan Family didn’t know where their courage came from, but after their initial fear, they laughed heartily, showing no sign of fear.
“Hahaha, Ning Family’s lackeys, unless I show you a bit of what’s what, you’ll never know how high the sky is or how thick the earth is.”
“Yoho!”
The Ning Family patrol team leader’s eyes froze for a moment, his heart skipped a beat. He knew that those who dared to boast were either young achievers or frauds.
And these three, despite their formidable demeanor, seemed to be all flash and no substance, more likely the latter.
With a swoosh,
The patrol team leader, late to act, performed an aerial flip and landed first in front of the Nalan youngsters, saying coldly, “Who exactly are you to dare raid the Ning Family by night, aren’t you afraid of losing your lives?”
“Who we are doesn’t matter; what matters is that you are no match for us.”
With the situation beyond retreating, as the leader of the trio, Nalan Shi stepped forward, head held high, with an air of superiority.
“I’m not your match?”
The patrol team leader feigned a self-deprecating smile, then his eyes turned cold and he chuckled darkly, “Whether you’re a mule or a horse, we’ll take you out for a trot. Talking big is useless.”
Then he gestured to his patrol team, “All of you, get them, these three boastful brats.”
Swoosh, swoosh…
In an instant, over a dozen members of the patrol team surrounded the three fellas, and a close-quarters fight erupted.
Bang, bang clang…
At the start of the encounter, Nalan Shi, Nalan Hu, and Nalan Pao internally looked down on them, thinking the Ning Family patrol members were mere True Qi Realm pushovers with no real combat power.
Yet during the fight, their shock grew.
As Object-Manipulating Realm experts, they believed one could instantly kill countless True Yuan Realm fighters.
But in actual combat, they were dumbfounded. Why?
Because these True Qi Realm fighters, though lower in level, surpassed them with rich battle experience, and in numbers.
The three from the Nalan Family had Object-Manipulating Realm cultivation but were extremely lacking in combat experience. Being outnumbered 5 to 1 was disadvantageous to them.
They were driven back step by step, momentarily doubting their lives.
“I say, what’s going on here? My master told me someone in the Object-Manipulating Realm could easily dispatch dozens of True Qi Realm experts. How come I can’t even manage five?”
“You ask me? Who should I ask? I’m in the same boat. Could it be that we’re weary from the road, exhausted in body and mind, and plus had a terrible dinner, that’s why our strength is lacking?”
“It’s possible. We’re the attacking side, they’re waiting in ambush, surely we’re at a disadvantage. Not losing at 5:1 is already good enough.”
“Yeah, true.”
The three exchanged glances, nodding in agreement, believing this was normal.
However, the ongoing fight made them seriously question their assumptions.
At the initial encounter, the Ning Family patrol team members were cautious, thinking these three were experts, holding back a bit.
But gradually, they saw the trio’s extreme lack of real combat experience.
With a clear picture in their hearts, the situation subtly shifted without notice.
Initially, it was five against one, gradually turn into four against one, three against one, two against one.
In the end, ultimately into one-on-one duels.
Yes, one-on-one duels!
