The Most Powerful Bodyguard

Chapter 1400: Chapter 1400: Kindred Spirits

"Marquis of Nanchuan, today I see you in a new light!"

Upon hearing this familiar voice, Marquis of Nanchuan was momentarily taken aback.

He quickly opened his eyes wide, and a familiar figure appeared in his view.

In front of him lay three charred corpses that had been struck by lightning, with flickers of lightning still dancing on them.

As for those three who were so arrogant just moments ago, they were now dead beyond redemption.

"What are you doing here?" Marquis of Nanchuan asked, his expression complex as he looked at the figure before him.

The young man who once needed their protection had now become so powerful?!

The key was, he himself was still stuck at this level, struggling embarrassingly, forced to contemplate self-destruction to drag one or two down with him.

"I came to rescue Sect Leader Lin," Yang Yan stated his purpose and asked, "Do you know where they are?"

As he spoke, Yang Yan casually tossed a dazzling golden pill.

The moment Marquis of Nanchuan caught the pill, he was astonished.

This is...

The Great Returning Pill!

He looked at Yang Yan in disbelief, appearing hesitant.

Clearly, he was well aware of the value of this pill, and found it hard to accept.

Such an Earth-level top-grade pill was something unattainable even at his peak.

Not to mention now, when he was severely injured and nearly devoid of spiritual power.

Most importantly, given his current condition, although this pill could quickly heal his internal injuries and restore his spiritual power to its peak, that would be all.

Conversely, if he were to consume and refine it under normal circumstances, he could significantly advance.

Therefore, even in this situation, he hesitated, wary of wasting it.

Yang Yan clearly understood his thoughts and smiled gently: "Marquis, just take it. I have quite a few of these Great Returning Pills. Unfortunately, consecutive consumption has diminishing effects."

"To avoid waste, I’ll give you just one for now. In any case, heal your injuries, restore your strength quickly, as we’ll likely need your help in the upcoming battles."

At that moment, the Void-Devouring Tiger couldn’t help but say, "Old Nanchuan, don’t hesitate, just eat it! Look at your Alliance Leader’s strength now, all thanks to these pills. He has plenty of treasures! This is just an Earth-level pill, he even has plenty of Celestial-level pills!"

Hearing this, the astonishment in Marquis of Nanchuan’s eyes grew even deeper.

He instinctively glanced at Yang Yan and suddenly revealed a self-mocking smile.

He had overlooked the fact that the aura emanating from Yang Yan was something only possible at the Divinity Transformation Stage.

And looking at those three charred corpses, without the power of the Divinity Transformation Stage, how could they have been dispatched so effortlessly in an instant!

With this realization, Marquis of Nanchuan hesitated no more and swallowed the Great Returning Pill in his hand.

The pill melted as soon as it entered, transforming into a gentle stream that flowed down his throat and into his stomach.

Boom—

Like an explosion, the rampant medicinal power was instantly unleashed.

The next moment, Marquis of Nanchuan felt as if countless ants were gnawing inside his body.

He smiled wryly to himself.

If his spiritual power was still intact, he could suppress this pain immediately, inducing the medicinal effects easily and unlocking his potential, achieving a breakthrough.

He was only at the Half-step Divinity Transformation, but with the Great Returning Pill, he might not achieve an immediate breakthrough, yet he could stabilize his foundation significantly.

Given a bit of time at the right moment, he could naturally break through without too much difficulty or danger.

One must understand that for cultivators, each major breakthrough is a significant hurdle.

Not only is the breakthrough difficult, but the process often involves dangers, with a failed attempt at a breakthrough leading to backlashes being the least of one’s worries.

If unlucky, some even perish outright.

Therefore, to ensure success, some set up protective arrays just in case, while others prefer having expert guardians by their side to handle any unexpected occurrences safely.

Just as Marquis of Nanchuan was feeling anxious, he suddenly sensed a torrential flow of pure spiritual power being injected into his body through his wrist.

It was Yang Yan!

He was pouring his spiritual power into helping him channel the medicinal energy thoroughly.

For a moment, his heart was filled with mixed emotions and deep gratitude for this bond that transcended age.

However, Yang Yan’s voice suddenly rang out, "Marquis, focus your mind, I’ll aid you in breaking through to Divinity Transformation!"

Upon hearing this, Marquis of Nanchuan couldn’t help but curse himself silently.

Despite his age and experience, he lost his composure at this critical moment, almost making a fool of himself.

About half an hour later, with Yang Yan’s help, Marquis of Nanchuan had fully absorbed the medicinal power of the Great Returning Pill.

Not only were his injuries completely healed, but he had also crossed the bottleneck he had been unable to surpass and successfully stepped into the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Although it was just the early stage of Divinity Transformation, his cultivation was evidently more stable than that of the Void-Devouring Tiger.

Of course, besides Yang Yan’s help, a large part of his success came from his years of attempts.

It was these attempts that had accumulated a wealth of expertise, and now, with the stimulus of the medicinal effects and Yang Yan’s aid, he naturally broke through sturdily.

Yang Yan had foreseen this outcome, so his earlier hope for Marquis of Nanchuan’s assistance was not a mere formality.

Marquis of Nanchuan felt the surging power within him, his spirits soaring.

Of course, recognizing great kindness doesn’t require spoken gratitude, so he kept his thankful words to himself.

"Alliance Leader Yang, we must act quickly and seal the breach."

After speaking, Marquis of Nanchuan eagerly attempted to pull Yang Yan away.

Yang Yan frowned slightly, yet he remained firmly in place.

Marquis of Nanchuan was momentarily stunned.

He was utterly amazed by Yang Yan’s prowess.

Previously, he had not broken into the Divinity Transformation and, being severely injured and drained of spiritual power, his judgment of Yang Yan’s strength was estimated and inevitably skewed.

However, upon actual contact, he realized the young man’s growth rate far exceeded his imagination.

Now, Yang Yan had already touched the Void Realm!

That means he was a whole major realm higher than himself...

In that instant, Marquis of Nanchang couldn’t help but feel a surge of emotions.
