630: Chapter 619: Aerial Mastery Realm Expert!
Atop the wall, a black-clothed, masked figure sat there, only the pair of piercing eyes visible on their face, emanating a chilling glow that made one tremble.
The battle had stopped abruptly with the appearance of this person, and everyone watched the cloaked figure in shock, clueless as to when they had appeared.
Shangguan Tanglong looked up at the masked figure on the wall in astonishment, his hand clutching the horsetail whisk still trembling uncontrollably.
“Who are you, daring to meddle in the affairs of the Shangguan Family!”
Shangguan Tenglong saw that Ning Fan was about to be captured after much struggle, and now another person had suddenly appeared to cause chaos, infuriating him.
He rushed forward to face this individual.
But the black-clothed figure shook their head, stepped on the empty air, and actually walked on it as if it were solid ground, gliding down and, as if leaping, arrived in front of Shangguan Tenglong, sending him flying with a palm strike.
“A warrior of the Aerial Mastery Realm!!!”
Shangguan Tanglong shook with excitement, mouth agape as he stared at the once airborne now-grounded figure, while everyone else watched in utter shock at the person who could tread upon the air.
Shangguan Tenglong, on the other hand, was slapped to the ground, momentarily incapacitated.
“This is an Aerial Mastery Realm warrior!”
Ning Fan looked at the masked figure in amazement, having not expected to encounter an Aerial Mastery Realm warrior today after just engaging with a Half-step True Origin Realm opponent.
Shangguan Tanglong’s face was stricken with fear; he was merely at the peak of the Object-Manipulating Realm, not even at the True Origin Realm, and now a warrior from the Aerial Mastery Realm had appeared, one who seemed to be aiding Ning Fan.
Could it be that the Huo Family was destined to encounter a calamity this day?
As this thought dawned on him, Shangguan Tanglong clenched his teeth, and despite the fear in his heart, he stood in front of the masked person with a respectful demeanor, asking, “Esteemed senior, must you intervene in this matter?”
An Aerial Mastery Realm warrior, it was actually an Aerial Mastery Realm warrior.
What luck had Ning Fan stumbled upon to be able to call upon such a warrior for assistance?!
Huo Yuanshan, who was standing up, and Shangguan Tenglong, who had fallen, were both too astonished to speak, only able to watch Ning Fan enviously, while also showing a hint of wariness in their eyes.
“Aerial Mastery?
You think too highly of me.
I am merely Half-step Aerial Mastery, at the peak of the True Origin Realm,”
said the masked warrior as they shook their head.
They were not of the Aerial Mastery Realm but at the peak of the True Origin Realm, and it hadn’t been true flight just then, merely a brief airborne glide rather than true flight.
Nonetheless, he was still not someone that any of those present could contend with.
Peak of the True Origin Realm, that’s all…
A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Shangguan Tanglong’s mouth.
‘Half-step Aerial Mastery’ was perhaps the highest achievement they could aspire to in a lifetime, and today such a mighty being stood before them.
The figure’s easy, relaxed attitude made Shangguan Tanglong feel powerless.
“I was merely passing by, but I saw a group of people ganging up to bully some children.
That doesn’t seem right, does it?”
The masked figure approached Shangguan Tanglong, exerting an oppressive aura that made it hard for Shangguan Tanglong to breathe.
Sweat clung to Shangguan Tanglong’s forehead as he took a deep breath and reluctantly explained, “Today is a great joyous occasion for the Shangguan Family, and this person had the audacity to crash the wedding.
How will our family ever be able to hold our head up in Jiangcheng again?”
“Oh?
Is there more to this story than meets the eye?” The masked person did not fully believe Shangguan Tanglong’s words, sending a chill down Shangguan Tanglong’s spine.
Indeed, the black-clad powerhouse turned his head towards Ning Fan and the others, and asked, “Are you here to snatch the bride today?
Moreover, I see that this young lady doesn’t seem unwilling to leave with them.
What’s the story behind all this?
Could you tell me about it?”
Ning Fan and Huo Qiuran exchanged glances and immediately stepped forward, sharing their mutual affection and the incident from four years ago.
He was here today to make amends, intending to take Huo Qiuran away with him, and Huo Qiuran had no desire to marry Shangguan Yunyang either; she had agreed to this matter only because the Huo Family forced her with threats of death.
Ning Fan had come today, and Huo Qiuran had completely lost hope in the Huo Family; naturally, she was not prepared to continue the wedding.
She also took this opportunity to pour out her grievances to the black-clad powerhouse, accusing the Huo Family and the Shangguan Family of all the coercion she had suffered.
“I just want to fight for my own happiness!” Huo Qiuran said resolutely, looking at the black-clad powerhouse, then cast an angry glance at Huo Yuanshan not too far away.
“I see.
Since they are mutually in love, why must you force someone to marry a person they don’t like and press them so hard?”
“Predecessor, if we let them go, would my Shangguan Family not become a laughingstock to others?!”
Shangguan Tanglong naturally did not wish to see Ning Fan and his company leave just like that.
If they were allowed to go, the Shangguan Family would lose a great deal of face today; their prestige in Jiangcheng would be diminished.
Having been attacked in their own home and the bride snatched away, who knows how many people would come to ridicule them?
This was a severe blow to their reputation!
“Hmpf, so you intend to go to extremes?
What era do we live in now?
Is it still the time when heroes used martial arts to break the law, and scholars used literature to create chaos?
Nowadays, harmony is prized.
Wouldn’t it be better for everyone to take a step back?
Otherwise, don’t blame me!”
The black-clad powerhouse did not care about all that, clearly intending to protect Ning Fan and his group.
Now there was nothing the Shangguan Family and the Huo Family people could do; not wanting to offend this Peak True Origin Realm, Half-step Aerial Mastery expert, were they expected to just swallow this anger?
Many people’s faces turned red with agitation, while Ning Fan and the others smiled.
Today was their lucky day as Heaven itself seemed to be helping them, with a Peak True Origin Realm expert emerging to ensure justice was served—an unexpected stroke of luck!
“But…”
“No ‘buts’ about it, just spit it out.”
The black-clad powerhouse did not care about all this; after all, he was at the Peak True Origin Realm, and no one present could defeat him.
If someone at this moment dared to question whether being at the Peak True Origin Realm was impressive,
he would undoubtedly respond without hesitation, “Sorry, at the Peak True Origin Realm, one indeed has the power to do as they please!”
Shangguan Tanglong, feeling frustrated and unable to utter a single word, stared at the black-clad powerhouse, his face turning red with hesitancy and unwilling acceptance in his eyes.
“Since you’re not talking, I’ll take it as your consent.
Let’s go.”
With a wave of his hand, the black-clad powerhouse released a surge of True Qi like a blast of air, shaking off all the people surrounding Ning Fan and his company.
This move stunned everyone present, and under the black-clad powerhouse’s lead, Ning Fan and his group left the place with great composure, and no one dared to oppose them at that time.
“Damn it, damn it, damn it!”
Shangguan Tanglong watched the departing figures of Ning Fan and the others through clenched teeth, only able to curse in his heart.
