Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2483: Chapter 14: Hatred of Evil (Part 4)

Ying Lady snapped angrily, "I already said, I’m not willing!"

The young man in the wolf robe said, "Women all have sharp tongues but soft hearts. When they say ’I’m not willing,’ what they really mean is ’I’m willing.’ So what you just said means you’re willing to marry me as your wife. I really didn’t misjudge you..."

Ying Lady was so furious her eyes turned red. "You... shameless!"

The wolf-robed youth ignored her and directly made his move.

His cultivation was high and his movement technique excellent. With almost just a single flicker of his body, he closed in on Ying Lady’s side and reached out to touch her face.

Ying Lady was enraged and hurriedly drew her soft sword, thrusting at the wolf-robed youth.

But her cultivation was only at the Peak of Qi Refining; she was no match for the wolf-robed youth at all. The soft sword was easily pinched between two of his fingers.

Seeing his daughter in danger, Luo Master immediately made a move as well, trying to stop the wolf-robed youth.

Yet he didn’t dare use a heavy hand.

First, because he didn’t actually want to completely fall out with this wolf-robed youth;

Second, because he simply didn’t dare offend the Canglang Sect.

In Canglang City, the Canglang Sect was an unquestioned "colossus."

But because he didn’t dare strike hard, the wolf-robed youth became even more unscrupulous.

The nearby escorts, seeing Ying Lady humiliated, were all filled with righteous anger and could no longer hold back. One after another they made their moves, trying to rescue Ying Lady.

However, the Canglang Sect still had a Foundation Establishment Realm Elder Sun present, as well as another six cultivators at the Peak of Qi Refining.

Elder Sun barely even lifted a hand.

The other six Disciples of the Canglang Sect knocked down the escorts of the escort agency in droves.

The Canglang Sect was a local Great Sect, and a profit-oriented Sect at that. Anyone able to enter the Sect was an elite cultivator in their own right.

Ordinary escorts naturally could not be their match.

On the other side, the wolf-robed youth was still toying with Ying Lady like a cat playing with a Haozi.

The wolf-robed youth’s actions grew bolder and bolder, while Ying Lady found it increasingly difficult to dodge.

Seeing Ying Lady in such a perilous situation, Luo Master finally couldn’t hold back any longer. This was the daughter he had raised through hardship, his very heart and soul—how could he let her be humiliated like this?

Luo Master’s heart seized with anxiety. He immediately drew his great-ring saber, channeled his Spiritual Power, and hacked down fiercely at the wolf-robed youth’s back.

This strike was mainly meant as a warning.

The wolf-robed youth could have dodged, or turned around to block; as long as he didn’t keep pestering Ying Lady, that would have been enough.

But unexpectedly, this wolf-robed youth neither dodged nor blocked. He simply stood where he was and took Luo Master’s slash head-on.

The great-ring saber chopped into the wolf-robed youth’s back, splitting skin and flesh, exposing bone, blood dripping down in streams.

Everyone was stunned.

Luo Master also looked dumbfounded.

The wolf-robed youth, with the great-ring saber in his back, slowly turned his head and gave Luo Master a ferocious grin.

"You dare assassinate... an Elder of the Canglang Sect?"

Luo Master suddenly understood and felt as if he had fallen into an Ice Cellar, cold spreading through his whole body.

This Elder Duan... had planned it all out. He deliberately entangled Ying Lady, then waited for Luo Master, in a fit of anger, to make a move and slash him once.

That way, he hadn’t laid a hand on Luo Master.

But Luo Master had cut him.

This was equivalent to the Luo family’s escort agency "attempting to murder" an Elder of the Canglang Sect, a direct provocation to the authority of the Third Grade Canglang Sect.

Moreover, they had both witnesses and physical evidence.

The Canglang Sect now had a righteous pretext to "make a move," and no one could find fault with it.

The Luo family’s escort agency was finished...

Luo Master’s saber clattered to the ground, his face ashen like death.

"Father..."

Ying Lady called out once, then gritted her teeth and thrust her sword at the wolf-robed youth again, only to have it flicked aside with a backhand.

The wolf-robed youth chuckled lewdly, "I’m actually quite magnanimous. Your father tried to kill me, but I can spare his life. As long as you’re willing to become my concubine, and offer up the escort agency as your dowry, I’ll write off everything that’s happened."

Ying Lady cursed, "You bastard, keep dreaming!"

The wolf-robed youth laughed and said, "I just love prickly ones like you. The docile ones have no flavor..."

Seeing that even after using all her strength she still wasn’t a match for this Elder Duan of the Canglang Sect, Ying Lady felt bitter despair inside.

And because of her, the escort agency her father had poured his entire life’s effort into was about to be destroyed. She hardened her heart, lifted her sword, and pressed it across her own pale neck.

"I’d rather die!"

The wolf-robed youth shook his head. "You still don’t understand. Whether you die or not really doesn’t matter. And don’t bother trying to scare me with death either..."

The wolf-robed youth sneered coldly. "These past years, women I’ve driven to death like you—if not twenty, then at least eight or nine."

"Even those I’ve toyed with to death in bed number at least a full handful. My hands are soaked in..."

With a loud "boom," an ear-piercing roar of flames erupted.

A blackish-red, terrifying blaze of fire gathered into a single point, then exploded in an instant. A surge of powerful Spiritual Power burst forth and then dissipated.

From start to finish, it all happened in a single instant—far too fast for anyone to react.

The wolf-robed youth’s cold sneer was still frozen at the corners of his mouth.

He lowered his head in a daze, only to see that his chest now had nothing left but a pitch-black gaping hole.

Everyone else’s eyes were wide, their faces filled with shock. Following the fading traces of the firelight, they all turned to see Mo Hua’s fair, extended finger.

Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, Mo Hua slowly withdrew his finger, let out a slight sigh, and said apologetically,

"Sorry, I’m the sort of person who bears a tiny bit of hatred for evil... I really just couldn’t hold back..."
