Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The bright rays of light from the cannon congealed and their target was only that little person along with his mother behind him.

Lan Xuanyu didn’t know what to do at this moment, he was merely a six-year-old child but there was a six-meter tall mecha in front of him. He fired an ice awl but when it landed on it, it merely bounced off without doing any damage at all.

Nan Cheng had already slumped to the ground. It was impossible for her to move, however, he didn’t retreat and he just simply stood there with his arms wide open with his lips pursed tightly. He was afraid, terrified, but he wanted to protect his mommy.

“Xuanyu, run, quick, run...” Nan Cheng called out weakly. Of course, she saw it too. She really hated herself for being so useless. If she was a combatant, she would have the power to fight back even when faced with a black mecha, but she could not, she really couldn’t fight!

Looking at that little figure of her son blocking her with his hands wide open, her heart was about to tear apart.

She only had one wish in her heart and that was to let her son run away quickly. She was willing to do whatever it takes.

But the bandits would not show any mercy and that Soul Guidance cannon still fired anyway.

“Blast——” There was a bright light from the mouth of the cannon and that glaring light caused Lan Xuanyu to shut his eyes instantly.

At this very moment, his mind completely turned blank but also at this moment, a very familiar reassuring voice resounded in his head.

“Don’t be afraid.”

Lan Xuanyu was stunned but he realized that he wasn’t hurt at all. Then, everything around him turned silent.

He lifted his head. The light was still glaring but that beam of light that was supposed to eradicate him appeared to stop in midair.

He heard no cries or screams any more. His surroundings turned silent and everyone stopped moving.

Lan Xuanyu turned his head to look at Nan Cheng and realized that his mother wasn’t moving too. There was a sense of terror in her eyes and she had one hand lifted in his direction like she wanted him to leave this place.

But everything was at a standstill at this moment, there wasn’t any sound, not even a whisper.

‘What happened? What is going on?’

Then, a delicate hand stroked his head gently. Lan Xuanyu turned around swiftly and saw someone wearing a mask. Her silver hair was glistening under that glaring light and her gaze was somewhat icy.

“Teacher Nana!” Lan Xuanyu exclaimed in surprise before his eyes reddened. He dived into Nana’s embrace immediately and cried, “They, they hurt Mommy! Teacher Nana, my mommy is injured.”

“Don’t cry, Xuanyu. It’s okay, everything will be fine with me around.” Nana patted his back lightly and soothed his frightened heart.

“You’re very brave. You stood in front of Mommy to protect her, you’re already a man.” Nana rubbed his back gently and calmed him down.

At this moment, she turned around to look at that black mecha as well as that ray of light.

Her gaze was cold and quiet. In the next instant, the surface of that mecha started to crack with a loud and crisp “ding”. The entire mecha was broken into pieces along with the driver and that beam of light that was about to swallow them. It all disappeared completely.

“Ding ding ding ding ding ding...” The crisp sounds kept resounding one after another and those bandits suspended in the air exploded and were annihilated one by one.

When Lan Xuanyu heard the noise, he wanted to look up but Nana covered his eyes with her palm and just hugged him in silence.

“Every member retreated?” A cold gaze flashed in Nana’s eyes again along with a silver glow and everything returned to normal.

“Xuanyu——” Nan Cheng’s poignant cries only came out from her throat at this moment.

“Mommy!” Lan Xuanyu yelled and quickly got out of Nana’s embrace before running towards Nan Cheng.

Seeing Lan Xuanyu running toward Nan Cheng, Nana went blank and an inexplicable sense of loss appeared beneath her eyes.

Lan Xuanyu hugged Nan Cheng tightly but there was fresh blood flowing out of the corner of Nan Cheng’s lips. She had truly inflicted some serious damage from that hit just now!

Nana walked over to Nan Cheng. He squatted and pressed her hand on her back while gently saying, “You’re really good.”

Nan Cheng was stunned. She didn’t really understand what she said but right after that, a cool breath surged through her body rapidly and she felt an unexplainable comfort. The pain was drastically reduced too.

Silver halos rippled from Nana’s body. There was no difference to those who were already dead but those injured citizens recovered quickly under the silver light. In a moment, the moans and cries reduced greatly and everyone’s eyes were all focused on that silver silhouette.

Although they couldn’t move just now, they could still see and hear, and they witnessed everything that happened.

They didn’t understand who this girl with silver hair was but the bandits were like paper tigers before her, they didn’t even have a chance to attack.

Most importantly, they were saved!

Nan Cheng’s condition was stabilized very quickly and Nana said to her, “We cannot let those people who hurt Xuanyu go. It’s safest if he followed me.”

“En, en en!” Nan Cheng nodded continuously. She obviously saw everything that happened just now. She was a Spirit Emperor but whatever Nana did just now was completely out of the scope of her knowledge of the world of Spirit Masters.

‘What kind of ability was that? She could make such a big space come to a standstill and she could even stop energy from moving, what is she?’

She didn’t have a tinge of doubt anymore. This Teacher Nana was definitely a Titled Douluo!

She wondered what happened to the building, but no matter what, Xuanyu would definitely be safest by her side.

“Xuanyu, come here.” Nana spread her arms toward Lan Xuanyu.

Lan Xuanyu looked at Nan Cheng and she quickly said, “Go on, Mommy will be at ease if you go with Teacher Nana. Mommy will be fine.” At this moment, she was relieved for everything her son did for her especially him using his tender body as a shield to protect her. Before that, she was in anguish but right now, her heart was melting. He was only six years old and yet, he already knew how to protect his mommy!

Lan Xuanyu pounced into Nana’s arms, he hugged her neck tightly and then pecked her on the cheek. “Teacher Nana, thank you.”

Nana carried him and stood up. “Let’s deal with those bad people.”

A silver light flashed and she disappeared with Lan Xuanyu just like that.

Black figures rose to the sky and landed on the roof of the building to meet a streamlined and small battleship that was about 100 meters long and over 30 meters wide.

The welcoming beam shone on the ground of the roof and those bandits in small-sized mechas that rushed into the light were quickly absorbed into the battleship. Their actions were very swift, they didn’t pause at all and within just a short time, almost everyone got in.
