Chapter 0666: Tan Tan''s Move


    When the woman''s cold shout arose from the depths of the underground pce, every single observer felt thunderstruck. The image of a certain, elegant House Lord who was adept at convincing people came to mind: Misty Duke, Tan Tan.


    All of Xia City''s experts had a very deep impression of Tan Tan. People often said that Li Taixuan was breathtakingly extraordinary, but those who had the opportunity to meet the couple knew who wore the pants in the rtionship.


    This was mostly because Li Taixuan was a loving husband who wanted to ensure her needs were well taken care of, but Tan Tan’s strength and talent were also important factors.


    However, this was not the important thing on their minds. Instead, they were more concerned as to how the duo had appeared here.


    Were their true bodies descending or were these mere projections?


    Regardless, everyone knew that the couple had left behind countermeasures at their disposal.


    They all focused their gazes upon House Lun''s Headquarters.


    The two natal mes in the underground pce red up and ascended into the sky, forming two silhouettes. One was of a man and the other of a woman.


    The man was tall and slender, with sharp facial features that made him incredibly handsome. His face had a warm and gentle smile with an unruffled disposition that gave him an unusual bearing.


    The woman was beautiful beyondpare, her body thin and willowy with a head of long hair that was pinned up. She had a graceful temperament, but her expression was icy, naturally giving off a sense of heroism and might.


    Everyone in House Lun''s headquarters, even those from Li Luo or Pei Hao''s faction, was dumbstruck. All they could do was idly stare at the two silhouettes. For a moment, they felt extremely touched.


    Xu Tianling and Mo Cheng, the two ancestors, were so taken aback that they stumbled backwards, falling upon their butts.


    Above the headquarters, the Regent stared at the two silhouettes, momentarily losing himself in his thoughts. This was thest defense Li Taixuan and Tan Tan had left behind. It looked as though it was just an illusory projection and not their main bodies... Plus, they couldn''t possibly have left the Nobles'' Battlefield and arrived here in person.


    However... even though it was merely an illusory projection, the Regent felt his heart sink as he indeed was fearful of these two.


    "The two of you-" The Regent was about to speak.


    "You ignorant fool. You might be the Regent to the others, but in my eyes... you''re just a prancing clown. The two of us voluntarily opted to go to the Nobles'' Battlefield for our own reasons... Did you REALLY think that your pathetic, underhanded moves could force us to do something we didn''t want to? HMPH! You dared to bully my kids as soon as we left! I think it''s time for you to die here. Today!"


    Before the Regent could even speak, Tan Tan fell into a furious tirade,pletely disinterested in speaking with the Regent. She immediately raised her slender hand and swatted the air before her. Bright, golden light swept out immediately.


    The light pierced through the void and was extremely pure. Golden wings seemed to be fluttering with it, which looked iparably mysterious to the naked eye.


    "Divine Golden Wing Light!" The golden light bathed the area with light, and all of the worldly natural energy that it shone upon seemed to have been assimted by it.


    The divine light then swept past the Regent.


    Seeing this, his eyes shrank as the Divine Golden Wing Light was something he was familiar with... It was Tan Tan''s special move.


    However, her words had touched a raw nerve, and fury zed within his eyes. Ever since he had taken control of the Xia Kingdom, no one had ever dared to go against his will. Yet the words she had bluntly shouted out were so demeaning that he couldn''t take it.


    "Hmph! You''re just a projection and you dare to act so rampantly?!" The Regent''s face was gloomy. When Li Taixuan and Tan Tan had left for the Noble''s Battlefield, they were simply fourth-grade Dukes, whereas he was a fifth-grade! Plus, this was merely a projection that could not muster the original''s full strength. On what basis did she dare to act so presumptuously?


    Thus, he did not bother to hide when directly faced with the golden divine light. Instead, he formed a hand seal with just one hand. The skies were instantly covered, and a wisp of violet energy rose into the air. Within it was a violet seal. The bottom of the seal itself was inscribed with an ancient word that was able to suppress the world.


    "Duke Art, Nation Subduing Violet Seal!" The seal began to tremble, wrapped in waves of violet energy before directly resisting the golden light.


    At the moment of collision, the Regent''s eyes shrunk once again as he could feel that he was in a perilous situation. Why? He realized that during that brief moment of contact, the Divine Golden Wing Light had actually assimted the violet energy of the Nation Subduing Violet Seal! As the light continued to sh past, part of the seal had turned into nothingness.


    "It can''t be!" The Regent''s expression warped. His Duke Art held on for a mere two breaths of time before Tan Tan''s art disintegrated it into nothingness.


    In his moment of panic, the Divine Golden Wing Light continued to pierce through the void and swept across him from head to toe.


    At this very moment, the world space of the Regent appeared behind him. His five Duke Bergfrieds within trembled for all to see, instantly exuding vast amounts of resonant power like a sea in an attempt to resist the Divine Golden Wing Light.


    Swish! Swish!


    The Divine Golden Wing Light continued to sweep past in a stream. Massive volumes of resonant power began to dissipate at a pace visible to the naked eye. Ten breathster, the Regent noticed that his arms had begun to shrink and the blood essence within his limbs was gradually dissolving as the Divine Golden Wing Light brushed past.


    He felt both consternation and indignation at this sight. “Tan Tan is clearly just a projection, but why is the art so frightening?”


    His thoughts in a flurry, he no longer hesitated and quickly retreated out of House Lun''s headquarters.


    With that swift retreat, the Divine Golden Wing Light no longer chased him, instead transforming into a golden mist that was then swallowed by Tan Tan.


    The two''s exchange had been extraordinarily quick, ending in a sh. When the observers came to their senses after being awed by their battle, they saw that the Regent was hurriedly escaping. This sight horrified Xia City''s numerous experts as they could see that the Regent had been beaten soundly during the ensuing battle!


    One had to know that the Regent was a fifth-grade Duke!


    This meant that he stood amongst the best of the best in the entire Xia Kingdom!


    How could he have been chased away by Tan Tan?


    "Why are you running? Weren''t you acting rampantly just a moment ago?" Tan Tan icily red at the Regent as she smiled coldly.


    The Regent looked absolutely disheartened, as if someone had poured cold water all over his n. ring at Li Taixuan and Tan Tan''s projections, he could feel that the situation was not as it seemed. A normal projection would never be able to showcase such prowess.


    "Wow! My wife is the best!" Li Taixuan praised as he gave Tan Tan a thumbs up before turning to look in Ox Biaobiao''s direction. He was still being contained by the four Dukes. With a grin, Li Taixuan struck out with a single fist.


    Roar!


    One could see a majestic dragon manifestation roaring out, shaking the world. It was wrapped with an exceptionally domineering aura, its mere presence causing the void to tremble. With a single strike, it shattered the ward formed by the four Dukes.


    The Dukes'' expressions changed and they hastily retreated, not daring to face off against Li Taixuan directly.


    "If those who do not belong to House Lun do not leave now... don''t me us when we start a massacre," Li Taixuan indifferently mentioned.


    Hearing that deration, the four Dukes turned tail and ran away without a word. The Regent had already escaped, so there wasn''t any point in them remaining.


    They could also tell that the moment Li Taixuan and Tan Tan had appeared, the situation had spun out of their control.


    Even the Regent was powerless before them.


    In fact, all of the fighting taking ce in Xia City had ceased immediately with their arrival.


    ……


    On a certain street.


    Duze Yan immediately put down his arms as he nced towards House Lun. When he saw the duo''s projections, his eyelids involuntarily twitched before he emotionlessly stared at Si Qing.


    Si Qing, on the other hand, was extremely unsettled, his expression ugly with panic.


    "House Lord Si Qing... are you feeling it now? Fear? I''ve already told you. Li Taixuan and Tan Tan are extremely hardy and tough to kill. Even though they were sent to the perilous Nobles'' Battlefield, no one can keep them there," Duze Yan diffidentlymented.


    Si Qing replied slightly hoarsely, "Don''t you think you''re speaking a little too soon? We''ll wait for them to truly return before we talk."


    "Well, you are going to have a headache at that time, House Lord Si Qing. Still, don''t you think I deserve some thanks? If I had not kept you here and those two knew that you were causing trouble in their home... I''m afraid you would be in deep trouble," Duze Yan said sarcastically.


    Si Qing''s mouth twitched. "Well, I know someone who''s got an evenrger headache. By the time they''re back, it won''t be my turn to face the music."


    Despite saying those seemingly apathetic words, he was feeling pretty terrible inside. He had no mood to banter with Duze Yan, so he quickly turned to leave with a gloomy expression.


    With their appearance and their sessful rebuff of the Regent, he already understood that the n formed over countless years had gone up in smoke.


    The two had long made sufficient preparations, and as a result, they were nowughingstock. As the rest of the rabble within House Lun left, Li Taixuan formed a hand seal with both hands, and a stream of runes made of light shot out of them. They directly fused with the defensive ward above House Lun''s headquarters, and the previously weakened ward began to shine with renewed radiance in a sh. Eventually, the light scattered and the ward covered the entirety of the headquarters once again.


    As it gradually dissipated into the background, suppressive pressure was felt within the area once again.


    The previously weakened ward had now been strengthened by the hands of Li Taixuan.


    The headquarters was once again a forbidden area for Dukes.


    When that wasplete, he raised his head and observed the Regent standing outside the headquarters with a smirk on his handsome face.


    "Gong Yuan, you can''t bear to leave? Don''t worry, once the two of us are back, we''ll definitelye and find you for a little chat. Until then, you should ensure that your affairs are put in order." Li Taixuan grinned.


    The Regent red at Li Taixuan before turning to leave without saying much.


    With his departure, everyone understood that House Lun''s catastrophe was finally over.
