Chapter 173: Chapter 173: Stormy Waves

Wen Nanxi and his group rushed over at lightning speed. Before they even arrived at the scene, just smelling the bloody scent in the air and sensing the intense battle made his face turn pale.

Wen Nanxi’s body shivered, and the aura of his superpower almost fell into a chaotic state.

Even though he usually has a gentle and stable temperament, his heart was now in chaos. He dared not imagine what had happened to his wife—was she injured, was she being hunted?

Thinking of this possibility, all color drained from Wen Nanxi’s face, and frost-like murderous intent filled his eyes, his nerves taut with tension.

He pushed his superpower to the extreme, forcing himself to reach the place as quickly as possible.

Thankfully, they had a contract, and he bore the mark of his partner. If she was in danger, he would sense it.

But her location was too far from home, and he rushed at top speed, fearing he might be too late.

At this moment, Wen Nanxi couldn’t think of anything else. He only knew that his Ayao must not get hurt or encounter any danger. His heart was surging with a bloodthirsty madness.

When he reached the forest, the battle winds in the woods flapped Wen Nanxi’s clothing, causing his robes to flutter loudly in the wind.

He saw Su Muyao fighting in the center.

His pupils widened in shock, setting off a storm of emotions, "Wife!"

Su Muyao was surrounded by many assassins in black, her figure spinning swiftly. As her soft sword struck down the assassins, her satiny long hair billowed in the wind like a startled bird in flight, stirring a tempest amid the bloodshed, both cold and stunningly beautiful.

The sword in her hand was fast, ruthless, and precise, drawing sharp arcs under the moonlight. Each deadly strike laid her attackers low, blood droplets clinging to her soft sword, its menacing aura even colder than ice.

Her hair danced with the wind, each strand soaked in killing intent, leaving only her afterimage in the air.

She herself was like a red spider lily in the night, both fierce and beautiful.

The black-clad assassins felt retreat was the safer option, but their task was to kill her.

"Get her, kill her, if we can’t kill her, we’re as good as dead."

They had received a Death Order—they absolutely couldn’t let this she-beast survive.

Many of them had already fallen; they never expected this she-beast to be so terrifying, unsettling them to the core.

Su Muyao’s eyes glinted with a murderous red light, a contemptuous smile tugging at her lips, "If you wish for death, I’ll gladly oblige."

Just then, Su Muyao seemed to hear something, and as she turned her head slowly, she saw Wen Nanxi leaping towards her at incredible speed not far away.

"Wife!"

Wen Nanxi was simultaneously filled with shock and rage. His usual gentle demeanor shattered, fury spilling forth, and all of his Level 5 superpower exploded outward.

He knew these assassins included many at Level 6 Peak, and his superpower alone couldn’t defeat them, so Wen Nanxi directly unleashed the bloodline power of the Ancient Celestial Snake.

The phantom of the Ancient Celestial Snake appeared in the sky, launching an attack on the assassins.

In an instant, two Level 6 Peak experts were killed.

"An... Ancient Celestial Snake, such powerful bloodline pressure."

A nearby assassin was hit by the pressure and spat blood.

His fingertips moved, and countless bamboo slips transformed into a storm of icy blades under the power of his Wind Ability, whistling like arrows shot from a bow, piercing the throats of his enemies with precision.

Wherever they passed, blood sprayed.

The assassins were caught completely off guard and fell to the ground on the spot.

"Ah!" came the pained screams, although many assassins quickly dodged.

Su Muyao’s soft sword never ceased, continuing to harvest assassin lives.

The two worked in perfect harmony.

Just then, Shen Ci’an and the others arrived. Upon witnessing this scene, they went mad, "Dare to touch my wife, you all deserve to die."

With that, Shen Ci’an’s eyes turned blood red, his Pupil Technique Ability coming into play. The usually enchanting eyes veiled with Asura color, he transformed mid-air into a bloody afterimage charging forward.

His Blood-colored Domain Power activated simultaneously, immobilizing many people. As his blade stabbed each one, blood sprayed, making him increasingly fierce and demonic.

Xiao Jihan and Hua Linye had long since jumped off Shen Ci’an’s body, transforming back to continue the battle.

Pain stabbed at their hearts intensely; even with their Third-level Power, they burned their essence blood to fight. Their desperate tactics drove fear into the assassins.

But now, it was too late for the assassins to retreat or escape.

Soon, they were all slaughtered.

When they looked back, they realized they hadn’t left any alive, consumed as they were by anger.

"Wife, are you alright?"

"Wife, are you okay, you scared us to death."

"Wife."

"Wife, how did you suddenly gain a Seventh-level Superpower?"

Before, she was just Level 4.

Everyone was profoundly shocked; their wife had been so powerful and radiant. They also had many questions and couldn’t help but feel some concern.

They actually wanted to ask about Xie Guixue, but seeing their wife’s unwell expression, they dared not inquire further.

Everyone watched her with overly worried and tense expressions.

Su Muyao shook her head and said, "I’m fine, I used a special Secret Technique to elevate my superpower, but there will be side effects, I will be weak and sleep for a few days."

"It’s alright."

"And Xie Guixue, I gave him a Divorce Letter; he may live his life, and perhaps he won’t return."

She understood the doubts in Wen Nanxi and the others’ minds, so she explained proactively.

Master Xie said he had a special constitution, and it was unknown if his soul stabilization process would be like rebirth from fire.

She hoped in her heart he was well.

This statement thunderstruck Wen Nanxi and the others.

Seeing Xie Guixue’s deep feelings for their wife, how could she suddenly issue a Divorce Letter overnight?

What exactly happened in just one night?

After explaining, Su Muyao quickly went to the ground, where Xie Yi, still heavily injured, lay unable to move, his injuries grave, barely hanging on.

Su Muyao used her Wood Element Ability to heal his wounds directly.

The effect of the Seventh-level Superpower was very strong, and Xie Yi quickly recovered.

"Miss Su..."

Xie Yi was also in extreme shock at this moment.

This Miss Su was definitely worthy of any outstanding beast, and he didn’t know if what his family head did was right or wrong.

Moreover, Miss Su could instantly heal such severe injuries.

He suddenly wondered if his family head had long worried the Beast Husband Contract might endanger Mr. Wen’s life, so he had Miss Su write the Divorce Letter?

"Xie Yi, you should go back."

Xie Yi knew he had no reason to stay. He seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

Meanwhile, Mr. Wen and the others all looked at him with cold, rejecting eyes.

"Also, take this bracelet back with you."

Su Muyao said, handing the bracelet to Xie Yi. Now with her Seventh-level superpower, she could remove the bracelet.

Xie Yi went pale, "Miss Su, this bracelet is from the family head for you, I can’t take it back."

At this moment, Su Muyao’s gaze was firm, forcing it into Xie Yi’s hand.

Xie Yi understood Miss Su’s intention, and could only bow, saying, "Miss Su, take care. Should you need anything, you may find me at the property."

Su Muyao shook her head, "No need."

At that moment, no one knew what Su Muyao was thinking; her expression seemed to have transformed significantly.

Just shortly after Xie Yi flew off, Su Muyao was overtaken by the backlash of her superpower, her vision darkened, and she lost consciousness uncontrollably.

"Wife!"

This frightened Wen Nanxi and the others.
