Although the other Seven Absolutes were not as agitated as Han Jiangxue, their faces were extremely sullen and they were staring at A Nu with undisguised murderous intent.
Although Zhan Kuang was arrogant and rude, he was still a member of the Guardians after all.
Although he was the one who took the initiative to stir up trouble this time, he was merely belligerent and would not really kill anyone.
However, Zhan Kuang was killed mercilessly by the old woman in front of them. That had already crossed the bottom line of their tolerance. Those who killed would always be killed.
Besides, the Guardians were bound together for good or bad.
Zhan Kuang was killed in front of them. If they did not avenge him, how would they have the face to go back and face the others?
Ding Ning frowned slightly. He did not expect A Nu to suddenly be so ruthless. By the time he reacted and wanted to stop her, it was already too late. This was going to be troublesome.
He was not afraid of the Guardians, but they were, after all, members of the country who had performed meritorious deeds and were worthy of his respect. They were also people whom he did not want to fall out with.
Although A Nu had gone overboard by killing to vent her anger, there was a reason for it. She had killed him to avenge Long Yi. Besides, she was Long Yi's servant.
Long Yi was his woman, and his servant was also his servant, so he naturally couldn't watch An Nu being besieged without doing anything.
Just as he was about to step forward to protect A Nu, he heard An Xi's anxious voice. "Don't worry about it, leave the rest to me."
Ding Ning was slightly stunned, but he immediately felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He knew that An Xi was being considerate for him and did not want him to get into any unnecessary trouble. Hence, she was prepared to take responsibility for everything.
Although this was the best solution for now, Ding Ning was a man. How could he hide behind a woman when something happened?
"I advise you not to act rashly. Otherwise, you will die!"
Ding Ning did not listen to An Xi's arrangements. He casually stuffed the unconscious Long Yi into An Xi's hands and stepped forward to protect A Nu. He exuded a powerful aura as he spoke to the Eight Absolutes calmly.
"Ding Ning, I know who you are, but do you know who we are? Are you sure you want to protect her? "
Huo Qianshan raised his eyebrows and questioned coldly.
The other Seven Absolutes also looked unfriendly and quickly returned to their positions, forming a joint attack.
The atmosphere at the scene was tense and on the verge of exploding.
A 'Nu wiped the blood at the corner of her mouth and looked at Ding Ning's tall and thin figure with a complicated gaze.
If it were in the past, even if she could not defeat the eight Demigods, no one would be able to stop her if she wanted to leave.
But now, she was also heavily injured by Zhan Kuang's desperate counterattack. There was no way she could escape. If the Eight Absolutes really wanted to kill her, she would definitely die today.
But she never expected that Ding Ning, who she had been annoyed with and disregarded his master's life and death, would come forward to protect her at this time, which made her feel very complicated.
"It doesn't matter who you are. I only know that this person provoked me for no reason and almost caused my woman to die. He's allowed to provoke us, but we're not allowed to fight back? "
Ding Ning calmly pointed at unconscious Long Yi and coldly said.
The expressions of the Eight Absolutes froze. They came relatively late and didn't know what happened. They had noticed Long Yi before, but they didn't know that she was seriously injured because of Zhan Kuang. In this case, it seemed like they were not in the right.
But even though they were in the wrong, Ren Zunmie still argued, "Even if your woman was seriously injured because of Zhan Kuang, she still didn't die. But now, you killed Zhan Kuang. You must give us an explanation for this."
"Ridiculous, is attempted murder not a crime?"
Ding Ning sneered and rebuked righteously.
Ren Zongmie was at a loss for words. He opened his mouth, but couldn't find anything to say. He had never been good with words.
Huo Qianshan glared at Ding Ning with hatred in his eyes as he snapped, "Ding Ning, don't be unreasonable. This person killed Zhan Kuang and we have to bring him back for trial. If you continue to protect her, don't blame us for not showing mercy and taking you down as well."
"Then come at me. What are you waiting for? "
Ding Ning stood tall and said fearlessly.
"Hmph, do you know who Zhan Kuang's uncle is? Ding Ning, on account of your great contributions to the country, I advise you to stop being so stubborn. Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences. "
Ye Guzhou seemed to be advising him out of goodwill, but his tone was actually threatening.
"His uncle is Li Gang?"
Ding Ning pretended to be frightened and said in shock.
The Eight Absolutes' faces turned green and red, showing anger.
They were guardians, not immortals. Although they lived in seclusion, they usually came into contact with the Internet, so they had naturally heard of the meme "My father is Li Gang".
Ding Ning's pretentious performance was clearly mocking them for relying on their privilege to be above the law and bullying others.
That made their faces darken and they felt their cheeks burning. As guardians, they naturally had to uphold the laws of the country. In this regard, they were indeed in the wrong.
But … Zhan Kuang's identity was just too special. His uncle, Zhan Qingtian, was one of the strongest experts in the Guardian Organization. Zhan Qingtian had always doted on this talented nephew of his. If they couldn't bring Ah Nu back to Zhan Qingtian today, all of them would probably have to bear his monstrous wrath.
At the thought of how terrifying Zhan Qingtian would be when he was enraged, the other Seven Absolutes could not help but shiver, except for Han Jiangxue.
Huo Qianshan bit the bullet and stepped forward, cupped his fists, and said sincerely, "Ding Ning, we really have no intention of becoming enemies with you. Although Zhan Kuang provoked us first, he doesn't deserve death. Now that he's dead, we won't be able to explain ourselves when we return. Please forgive us and hand her over to us. Don't worry, we're not unreasonable people. After all, there's a reason for everything, and we'll give her a fair trial."
As the saying went, one should never hit a smiling face. Ding Ning had always been amenable to coaxing but not coercion. If it were any other matter, he might have compromised, but this concerned Ah Nu's life and death. Hence, he would not back down no matter what Huo Qianshan said.
He immediately cupped his hands and said seriously, "Ah Nu is my woman's follower and this matter happened because of me. Since it has already happened, how about I go back with you? I'll give you an explanation too. "
"Son-in-law, you mustn't do that. I killed him, so I'll go back with them."
Ah Nu was extremely touched and did not want Ding Ning to be implicated. She hurriedly spoke up and even changed the way she addressed him to Son-in-law. It seemed that she had truly acknowledged her master as a man.
Ding Ning reached out to stop her and said firmly, "Since you call me Son-in-law, you're considered one of my people too. I don't have any other merits, except for one. I won't allow anyone to bully my people."
"Son-in-law …"
A 'Nu's eyes were watery as tears almost flowed down, and he was extremely moved in his heart as he thought in his heart. No wonder this person is able to make my Master who's always proud and arrogant fall in love with him. He really is a dragon amongst men and is extraordinary.
"This …"
The Eight Absolutes looked extremely conflicted and could not make a decision after a long time.
Ding Ning's suggestion made them rather tempted. That way, they would be able to explain themselves when they returned and they wouldn't have to bear the wrath of Zhan Qingtian.
Moreover, they were very clear that given Ding Ning's position in the hearts of the big shots, there shouldn't be any problem for him to follow them back.
But when they remembered that Zhan Kuang was Zhan Qingtian's nephew, they felt a little guilty. Zhan Qingtian was amiable and gentle, but once someone touched his reverse scale, he was someone who wouldn't recognize even his own kin. At that time, if he really vented his anger on Ding Ning, it was likely that even a big shot wouldn't be able to stop him.
"Think about it. This is my bottom line. If you agree, we can leave now. If you don't, there's nothing else I can do."
Seeing that they were hesitating, Ding Ning said in a calm but firm tone.
"Then … alright, please come with us."
Everyone fell silent and looked at Han Jiangxue. It couldn't be helped, Zhan Qingtian had always been infatuated with her. Perhaps, she was the only one who could control Zhan Qingtian's anger. Although Han Jiangxue did not agree to Zhan Qingtian's pursuit, she knew that it was not the time to be pretentious. She decisively made a decision on behalf of the Eight Absolutes.
"Ding Ning …"
An Xi shouted worriedly. She was really worried about Ding Ning following these people.
However, Ding Ning smiled at her and comforted her. "Don't worry, it'll be fine. Later, bring Long Yi and Ah Nu to find a place to hide. I'll contact you when I return."
The first half of the sentence was said in public, but the second half became a voice transmission. After all, there were many powerful guardians, and to a certain extent, they represented the will of the country. He was also worried that after he left, the guardians would chase after them and kill them.
"Why don't we kill all of them? No one will know that we did it, and there won't be any trouble."
An Xi bit her red lips, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes. She quickly sent a voice transmission.
Ding Ning rolled his eyes speechlessly and said angrily, "Don't be rash. Be good and listen to me."
Hearing his tone, as if he was coaxing his girlfriend, An Xi's face quickly blushed. She was as docile as a young wife, and then she reminded him worriedly, "You have to be careful."
"Don't worry, the person who can kill me in this world has not been born yet."
Ding Ning sent a voice transmission confidently, which made An Xi feel slightly relieved.
Ding Ning was an extreme Demigod, and he was also a divine physician. As long as he did not enter a small world without the shackles of heaven and earth, no one would be able to kill him.
"Wait for me to make a call, then we'll set off."
Ding Ning called Xia Hou and made some simple arrangements. He said that he had some urgent matters to attend to in Andu, and asked Xia Hou to inform his family before hanging up.
"Then, let's go."
Huo Qianshan walked forward and carried the badly mutilated Zhan Kuang, and said with a sad expression.
Ding Ning's eyes flashed, and he glanced at Zhan Kuang's corpse. A thoughtful look flashed in his eyes, and he waved his hand at An Xi, signaling her to not forget what he had arranged, and to leave with the Eight Absolutes.
Of course, they were all Demigod experts, and would not make a fuss like ordinary people. In order to be in a hurry, Ding Ning did not plan to hide anything. He took out a flying ship and directly flew them to Andu, making the Eight Absolutes temporarily forget the grief of Zhan Kuang's death. They looked around curiously, and were full of praises.
Looking at their distant figures, A 'Nu said with a complicated expression, "Miss An, why don't I go to Andu as well? If anything happens to the son-in-law because of me, I won't be able to absolve myself from the blame even if I die ten thousand times."
"Don't worry, it'll be fine. You don't know Ding Ning's strength. If he wants to leave, even a true pericelestial expert would not be able to stop him."
Although An Xi was a little worried, in order to not make A 'Nu feel guilty, she comforted her in a relaxed tone.
A 'Nu sighed, and a ruthless look appeared in her eyes. She solemnly swore, "If anything happens to the son-in-law, even if A' Nu's body is smashed into pieces, I will definitely avenge him."
