The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1424 - 1423: Summoning the Ancestor

"That person can refine seventh-grade Elixir Pills?"Just as Family Head Liu was losing hope, an anonymous message was sent to his hands.

"He can."

Family Head Liu quickly responded to the man's question, and the next second, the man took the job and confirmed the location with Family Head Liu.

Tang Rao is saved?

Family Head Liu wanted to ask the man's identity and level of strength, thinking that if he was below the latter half of the Great Realm, he shouldn't come; dying for one Elixir Pill wasn't worth it.

Family Head Liu doubted that person, yet he was risking everything due to Family Head Liu's confirmation.

Not even discussing the commission; he must be after the Elixir Pill.

On the other side, Tang Rao was completely under the control of An Family Patriarch. Even if An Family Patriarch remained motionless, just from the pressure radiating from him, Tang Rao was in a life-threatening predicament.

Tang Rao tried several times to take out the Jade Pendant to summon the Zhang Family Ancestor, but he couldn't retrieve the pendant nor recite the mnemonic; everything he attempted became empty thoughts, unrealistic.

"Do you want to die?"

An Family Patriarch, after successfully breaking through to the lower half of the Great Realm, was savoring the growth and transformation of his strength. As the murderer of his grandson, Tang Rao undoubtedly became An Family Patriarch's target for revenge.

"In this world, many want to live, and many want to die, but those who fall into my hands never get their wish. I enjoy watching the little grasshoppers struggling and living a life worse than death. My grandson died quickly; I'm grateful to you, but unlike you, I will torture you until you can neither live nor die."

Tang Rao's mind surged.

He believed in miracles; he refused to believe he was short-lived. It was this belief that allowed him to survive over thirty years.

He had never met an opponent so much stronger than himself, intent on his demise.

The Kao Shan Sect didn't know where Tang Rao went, and none of his uncles and masters had reached the latter half of the Great Realm; even if they knew Tang Rao was in danger, what could they do? By the time they arrived, Tang Rao might already be dead.

Unable to rely on others or himself, Tang Rao looked up decisively at An Family Patriarch.

"Many want me alive, and many want me dead; you think you can decide my fate?"

He was ready to fight desperately.

Tang Rao summoned the Ancient Taotie Divine Beast.

Even held by An Family Patriarch, Tang Rao's back burst with a golden light.

The golden light was blinding; An Family Patriarch was caught off guard and let go, dropping Tang Rao to the ground.

Finally, the suffocating feeling was gone as the Ancient Taotie transitioned from phantom to true form. Once fully formed and fused with Tang Rao, who would dare challenge him?

"Roar!"

The near-true form Taotie roared behind Tang Rao, presenting an ancient intimidation.

"An ancient ancestral Taotie? Do you think this alone is enough? Sadly, you're only at the upper half of the Great Realm; what can you use to compete with me in the lower half of the Great Realm?"

The shear difference was vast; Tang Rao would risk everything and still couldn't match him.

"My Taotie is different from others' Taotie; let me perform for you."

Tang Rao, while stalling for time with the cunning An Family Patriarch, communicated silently with Taotie. An Family Patriarch felt the unsettling atmosphere; if Tang Rao had real skills, he should have acted already. Despite the Taotie empowerment, he remained eerily calm, something felt off.

"I can't resist testing your Taotie's true form strength, come on, we'll use our own strength for this duel."

A duel with their own strength?

Not using overwhelming power?

Indeed, your age hardly intimidates me; I'm extremely young compared to you. But if you want a duel with pure strength, what else can I say?

A duel of strength? What can Tang Rao use to compete?

He started to reminisce those few minutes discussing with Family Head Liu.

Had he chosen escape, he wouldn't be enduring this torment.

"You're right, a proper duel of strength is what's right, not holding me in your palm, taking my life as you wish."

This statement, said through tears, left a bitter feeling in Tang Rao's heart.

"Hahaha, kid, let me give you three moves; then I'll strike."

A true powerhouse speaks differently, with grandeur, the demeanor of someone in power, and shamelessness Tang Rao could never emulate.

"Three moves, fine!"

Within three moves, Tang Rao knew he wasn't his match, nor would he harm An Family Master. Yet the boast was made; whether he could harm doesn't matter, what mattered was if he could escape within three moves.

Tang Rao leapt to another pile of ruins, Liu Family House was already destroyed; surely, he wouldn't mind a little more destruction.

"Thunderous Invincible Bomb Fist!"

The first move was merely a bluff; Tang Rao didn't expect An Family Master wouldn't evade. In his eyes, every action Tang Rao made was a mere joke, even landing a strike wouldn't affect much.

"Taotie Hand!"

Tang Rao's power, mixed with Taotie's strength, punched An Family Master's belly with full sincerity, yet An Family Master remained unmoved.

This created an awkward situation.

"You still have one last move."

An Family Patriarch certainly intended to corner him.

If not for Tang Rao's 'mild' temperament and facing an overwhelming force he couldn't handle, he would definitely yank An Family Patriarch's ear and ask why he interfered in battles between kids.

"Don't worry, I still have my last move, why rush?"

Tang Rao's face remained unchanged. He secretly took out a Jade Pendant, muttered indecipherable words, and soon, another white-haired giant appeared beside him.

"Little one, I thought you were ready for solo combat, letting this old man rest well."

Sure enough, this was Tang Rao's last move, thankful to An Family Patriarch for granting him time to summon his opponent; thus, the duel between two masters had nothing to do with Tang Rao now?

"Ancestor, just help me settle this guy first, then you can go back and rest well. I'll find some good wine for you, let you relax, on the condition you handle this old guy."

Surprisingly, Tang Rao stooped to using fine wine to entice the ancestor, yet this method proved effective.
