" Speak! What have you done to my mother?!" Her voice was exceptionally chilling making them feel as if shards of icicles were piercing through their spines.
Jiang Ying Yue might be cynical and indifferent when it came to others, however, when it concerned the people who were close to her, her attitude would immediately take a one-eighty-degree flip.
She was someone who was very biased toward her closest people and was willing to give them her all. When it came to people she really cared about there was no boundary or principle that she cared about.
And whether it was her past or present, this attitude of hers never changed a bit.
Her piercing gaze that was directed toward those abductors was visibly showing a hint of blood-lust.
The man at the lead was first startled by the boy's powerful momentum and took him a moment to regain his composure after realizing the shameful fact that he was cowering in front of such a young boy.
Even someone as powerful as Nangong Ruyi couldn't defeat them who was this brat who was still wet behind his ears?
Regaining his composure Murong Jing immediately growled at his subordinates, " What are you waiting for?! Kill that b*stard and grab that woman!!"
Upon hearing their master's enraged growl the men snapped out of their stupor and bolted toward Jiang Ying Yue and her mother.
Jiang Ying Yue narrowed her eyes dangerously a heavy storm brewing within them.
" Master, let me do it, you can leave with your mother."
A small silhouette suddenly popped beside Jiang Ying Yue out of nowhere and urged her in leaving shocking the people who were advancing toward them.
Shell-shocked and dumbfounded the people couldn't help but halt in their steps for full three seconds, blinking.
" No." Jiang Ying Yue patted the little guy's head, who was looking quite pale, and said, " You wait here with my mother and take a rest for a short while, I'll handle this."
Abhram looked hesitant to let his master face so many of them alone but he also understood her intention.
To rescue her mother in time Jiang Ying Yue had taken every possible means to shorten the journey as much as possible.
Fortunately, this time the system was sensible enough to point out the exact location otherwise, Jiang Ying Yue wouldn't even know where to begin, after all aside from the capital she wasn't familiar with any other places.
Hence, once the system pointed out the direction she alternated between riding the two beasts from her space and Abhram's teleportation, even going to the extent of running miles on her two feet when Abhram and the two beasts were completely worn out from the long and arduous travel.
In fact, Jiang Ying Yue herself wasn't feeling good currently. She could even feel every muscle of her body trembling and throbbing just from moving a little. Still, she kept her composure, maintaining a poker because it wasn't a time to show her weakness.
Once the slightest hint of a flaw was exposed from her exterior this situation would turn entirely unsalvageable.
With this thought in her mind, she held on, trying to buy them some time until Abhram recovered some of his energy capable of using teleportation.
And that was why Abhram didn't insist on helping his master and decided to stand on the sideline and wait until he recovered.
The sudden appearance of the little boy had caught Murong Jing and his men off guard making them halt in their steps and by the time they reacted Jiang Ying Yue had already dashed toward them brandishing her sword.
Despite being at a disadvantageous end, Jiang Ying Yue didn't hesitate or flinch.
She was wary of the tiring journey and exhausted all her spiritual energy, facing so many opponents at once her body's endurance was reaching its limit.
However, her opponents weren't much better either. Before Jiang Ying Yue's appearance, they had been entangled with Nangong Ruyi in a fierce battle for a while until Murong Jing deployed that shady trick to subdue Nangong Ruyi in the end.
So all in all, they weren't having it easy either. And now that they saw the sudden addition of this fierce brat those people weren't really willing. They had enough of fighting, now all they wanted was to finish off this brat as soon as possible and return their clan before the portal closed.
They were in a rush and couldn't be bothered to play around with this boy, that was why Murong Jing had directly ordered his men to kill the boy instead of interrogating him further despite his doubts and confusion.
Although, he was very much puzzled by the sudden appearance of a son beside Nangong Ruyi, getting back to their clan before the portal door closed was more important, otherwise, if they missed this chance considering trivial matters they would have to end up waiting for another two years.
With this concern in their minds, those people acted brutally intending to severe Jiang Ying Yue's head and kill her in one go.
Nevertheless, reality was something that always gave people shocks and surprises.
Beyond their wildest imagination, the boy who looked dainty and frail had explosive brute force. His moves and stance were something that they had never seen before.
In her previous life, due to her identity as the heiress of one of the top aristocratic families Jiang Ying Yue had gone through rigorous training since she was a child. And with their status, the mentors her parents had found for her were obviously the best.
Furthermore, with her sharp reflexes and perseverance, she was very talented in this field.
That was why when people here talked about cultivation and spiritual strength here she found them very flimsy.
Without a trace of spiritual energy in their meridians people here were all considered trash.
When she fought with that guy, Fan Chang before, she was sure she was capable of defeating that guy with one hand if that guy wasn't using his spiritual weapon. In the end, to penetrate that guy's spiritual aura stealthily and finish him off, she had to bear that wound.
As the confrontation continued those people gradually realized that they couldn't keep up with Jiang Ying Yue's movements.
They gaped with their eyes open wide in disbelief.
How was this possible?!
This boy didn't even use a trace of his spiritual Qi yet he was overpowering them just based on physical strength.
They couldn't believe their eyes that there could such a person who could be so strong physically.
" Break your seals, break your seals!!"
Seeing that the situation was getting out of their hands Murong Jing shouted furiously at his men.
'Break the seal?'
Murong Jing's subordinates instantly turned pale.
However, regardless of how reluctant they were, they knew they didn't have much choice. They had to make it before the portal closed otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Even so, knowing the repercussions they had to bear for breaking the seal they couldn't help but grit their teeth as their eyes were burning with resentment.
Jiang Ying Yue who was completely focused on the battle also soon felt the sudden change in their aura. And with squinted eyes retreated immediately.
" Master, they are breaking the Heavenly restriction!" Abhram shouted and warned from the back.
And this warning caused Jiang Ying Yue to be warier.
" Right, brat, since you caused us to take such extreme measures you must bear the consequences as well!" Those men glared at Jiang Ying Yue with extreme hatred.
After all, no one would be happy seeing their years of hard work going just because they had to opt for extreme means and suffer from its repercussions.
They felt like dismembering this brat apart and drinking his blood when they thought of losing their base cultivation.
Yes, that was the consequence of breaking a Heavenly restriction--one would lose their base cultivation and have to start cultivating from the beginning.
One could just imagine how agonizing it would be for those high and mighty cultivators to turn into weaklings they loathed the most.
And that was the reason, why the people who acted rampant and high profile in their homeland knew how to rein horses once they stepped outside their homes and came to this land.
They acted rampant in the Land Of No Bounds but outside they were weak as a chicken.
The surrounding seemed to be frozen and the violent Qi surged forth all of sudden.
A radiant Violet emitted from their bodies declaring the world of their proudest achievement. And soon the people lunged forward immediately encircling Jiang Ying Yue while some made their way to Nangong Ruyi.
Abhram who was sitting not far away holding Nangong Ruyi paled slightly when he saw this seen.
All this while he had been sitting on the side and cultivating while keeping an eye on Nangong Ruyi, trying to recover as soon as possible so that when the chance arrived he could take his master and flee.
But from the looks of it, the situation seemed to be getting even more perilous.
Anxious, Abhram was like an ant sitting on a hot pan and immediately sent an SOS.
And it didn't take long two giant tigers appeared--one beside Jiang Ying Yue while the other stood guard protecting Nangong Ruyi with Abhram.
Although Jiang Ying Yue didn't turn around to look she knew it was Abhram's doing and felt a bit of relief knowing that one of those was guarding her mother.
These two tigers had the same Martial Violet rank as those people, however, with different stages.
All those people were Advance stage cultivators while these two beasts had yet to break through their Initial stages.
From the looks of it seemed a mere difference of one level yet this simple difference could decide a win or lose. As we move to higher levels this difference would only increase more with every stage.
In other words, when a cultivator of the Martial Red Initial stage and a cultivator of the Martial Intermediate stage fought the match could end up as a draw given their strength only had a difference of a level, yet it might not be the case when two people of higher cultivation were placed under the same scenario. Even though the difference between their cultivation might be only of a level this disparity would be great.
However, one mustn't forget the disparity of strength between beasts and humans.
Even though, the tiger and the tigress were injured and wary they weren't easy opponents either.
Seeing these people's insistence Jiang Ying Yue had many questions, however, she knew the most important thing to do now is to escape.
Thinking about this Jiang Ying Yue couldn't help but hate herself for her weakness and swore to herself to work hard to grow stronger after she went back.
She still had her close ones to protect she couldn't continue her days aimlessly in her past carefree manner.
" It would be great if Azure woke up at woke this moment." Abhram couldn't help missing Azure's overbearing presence at this moment.
If that girl was here she would just kick these people like balls.
If they hadn't worn out so much it would be easy for Abhram and the two beasts to easily handle these many of them but 'if' was just only 'if'. They couldn't change the reality by lamenting.
When Murong Jing, who stood back saw that things were progressing in his desired way couldn't help but curse under his breath. His face was especially dark when saw that even after exerting so much effort his people were hardly getting the upper hand.
Then, he realized how much they had underestimated the people from this God-forsaken land.
Not only had they underestimated these people but even worse was the fact that they had underestimated Nangong Ruyi.
