Pia!
Ren Qing reversed her hand for another slap!
“To do? Haha! This Miss just wants to find amusement out of you! How powerful was the Old Shang Family back in the day, almost suffocating my Ren Family. Now that this Miss can find amusement from Shang Wei Ming, this Miss is happy!”
“You … …”
Pia!
Another slap!
“Don’t dodge, stand still! Don’t forget about your son!”
Shang Wei Ming seemed to be struck by lightning. Like a wooden puppet, he stayed motionless.
Zuo Mo finally couldn’t stand aside. A thread of dislike appeared between his brows. He stepped forward. “Enough! Killing someone is just causing their head to drop to the floor, no matter how great the grievances were in the past, there is no need for such humiliation!”
Ren Qing’s hand stopped in the air. She turned around and said with a cold smirk. “You really did not take my good will! When I, Ren Qing, does something, when is it someone else’s turn to order me about, don’t you know the rules?”
Zuo Mo grinned and showed his clean teeth. He smiled darkly. “You’re right, we’re newcomers!”
His figure flashed and he appeared next to Ren Qing, grabbing her. She hadn’t reacted at all. He smiled viciously. “Little girl you are really evil at heart! Rules? Let ye teach you rules!”
Finishing, he started to strike at her face from right to left without any mercy.
The shopkeepers of the Cloud Pavilion instantly paled and exploded.
“Stop!”
“Stop now!”
“You will all die!”
The guards of the Cloud Pavilion charged in upon seeing this.
A cold snort suddenly exploded next to their years like a clap of thunder. Their ears rang. Some guards of weaker cultivation instantly bled from their mouth, their faces terrified.
Beside Xie Shan, Zong Ru’s palms were pressed together, his eyes closed. He disliked Ren Qing’s maliciousness, and he did not give mercy when using this Attainment Thunder.
There was shock on everyone’s faces, and they became even more panicked.
“Formation! Activate the formation!”
“Ask for aid from Elder Xu!”
“My heavens!”
Zuo Mo didn’t even look at the panicking guards. He did not use ling power or the mo physique as he sent out a string of slaps. Looking at the completely transformed Ren Qing, he felt he had vented his anger, and felt unspeakably good.
The pitiful Ren Qing’s pretty face was now swollen, green and purple, her hair disheveled. From when Zuo Mo started to act, she didn’t even have the time to shout.
Her eyes showed deep hatred and maliciousness as though she wanted to swallow Zuo Mo!
But what kind of vicious people hadn’t Zuo Mo encountered? He wouldn’t place any importance on a little character like this. He held Ren Qing’s neck as though he was holding a fowl waiting for slaughter. He smiled viciously and said, “In the future, don’t let ye see you. Ye’ll hit you each time ye sees you!”
At this time, the smooth gold starshine stone below everyone’s feet started to light up with formation scripts!
Chapter 442: Women Like You
Shang Wei Ming looked at the formation scripts that were lighting up in succession and paled dramatically. He hurried to remind Zuo Mo’s group. “Run! Careful of the formation!”
Shang Wei Ming felt his death was nearing, since events had escalated to such a degree. But he knew these people intended to help him. However, they did not know the power of the Ren Clan in Xu Ling City.
With Ren Qing’s temper and personality, after such a humiliation, they would not be able to escape death!
“You cannot escape! Release Miss Ren immediately, we will give you a road to life!” a shopkeeper said sternly to Zuo Mo.
Zuo Mo and the others felt an invisible power restrain them as though there were little mountains on their backs. The jade pendants hanging from the waists of the Cloud Pavilion guards and shopkeepers exuded faint lights. Their movements were not affected at all.
The guards and shop-keeper quickly resumed their normal expressions. The store formation had been set up by an expert knowledgeable in formations. Their minimum requirement was that it was able to withstand a blow of jingdan xiuzhe.
Even though these daring people were powerful, but with the big formation activated, they could not fly even if they had wings!
“You cannot escape! I will slice you all thousands of times! And not die in peace!” Ren Qing shrieked as though she was crazy!
Without another word, Zuo Mo sent out another string of blows to the point that Ren Qing was seeing gold stars. Her eyes showing terror, she finally remembered that she was still in the hands of this terrifying person.
Zuo Mo’s anger dissipated slightly after giving the blows. He snorted coldly. “You really asked for this! You can’t behave if you aren’t hit!”
Ren Qing shook, and closed her mouth in terror. The male was young, his appearance was not evil, but the killing intent that he had just exuded made her shiver.
Shang Wei Ming’s face became purple. In front of the big formation, his low cultivation was like paper.
Gongsun Cha had the protection of Zong Ru and didn’t feel it.
Zuo Mo saw Shang Wei Ming’s state out of the corner of his eye and shouted, “Old Xie, the third lamp pillar on your right, destroy it!”
He had noticed these lamp pillars when he entered the store. This kind of store definitely had formations. This was strange. Being alert to the surroundings and not allowing himself to be placed in danger was now Zuo Mo’s instinct.
Hands already itching, a rainbow sword energy left Xie Shan’s hands without a word. Like cutting tofu, he sliced through the third lamp pillar on his right.
Everyone felt their bodies loosen.
“The sixth one behind you!”
“Third row in front of your feet, the fourth tile on the left.”
Zuo Mo’ s calm orders followed each other. Every time Xie Shan’s sword energy landed, the power of the big formation lessened a fraction. Under the terrified gazes of the Cloud Pavilion guards and shopkeepers, the big formation that was impenetrable in their hearts was continuously weakened under the other’s blows until the last thread of formation scripts on the gold starshine tiles dimmed and the big formation was completely destroyed.
With all the pressure relieved, Shang Wei Ming was like a dead fish, fainting away on the ground.
Just as the guards and shopkeepers felt hopeless, a guard coincidentally saw a familiar figure. He seemed to have grabbed hold of a lifeline and shouted, “Elder Xu! Elder Xu! Save us!”
———
In the shadow, Xu Zheng Wei’s steps paused as he thought, this was bad!
Truthfully, he had arrived long ago, but seeing the other disassemble the formation so easily, thoughts of retreat formed! Even though he would receive a tribute from the Cloud Pavilion each month and he had agreed to help, but he definitely would not do something for the Cloud Pavilion that would result in losing his life!
This crowd of idiots! Were they blind? Why did they have to provoke a crowd of lawless and murderous brutes!
Xu Zheng Wei was not an ignorant person. These people had moved crisply and cleanly. This kind of murderous decisiveness was unable to be achieved by people that had not killed before!
No matter what, he definitely did not want to have this kind of trouble!
Just as he was preparing to flee, a guard had seen him. He instantly landed in a dilemma! If he left, it wouldn’t be good if it spread that he had taken the other’s tribute and didn’t help. If he didn’t go and really faced this group of lawless brutes, then his old bones were not enough.
After fighting internally, Elder Xu still stood out.
“Everyone, please stop! This old man is not the owner of this store but is familiar with this owner. This one will have a thick face and give apologies. Everyone, please give so
me face, and resolve this peacefully!”
Elder Xu’s words said with a humble attitude caused the guards that had been preparing to shout “Elder Xu, help capture these people” to gape. The store instantly became silent.
Elder Xu was a jindan xiuzhe … …
The same thought flashed through everyone’s minds. They were suspicious that their eyes were working! Elder Xu who was usually proud, calm and ethereal was really the same person as this Elder Xu who was bowing his back humbly with a smile on his face?
This old man was a jindan!
The same thought flashed through the minds of Zuo Mo and his group. This Cloud Pavilion had some power. It had the protection of a jindan!
Even though Wei Sheng and the others were all jindan and Zuo Mo had even killed Song Yuan, a Kun Lun jindan disciple, he was not willing to lightly start a battle with another jindan.
There wasn’t any one simple who could cultivate to jindan.
Compared to the seriousness of Zuo Mo and the others, Elder Xu who had a smile on his face felt his heart beat wildly and was astounded! Other than one person whose cultivation was very weak, and the other was definitely not a jindan, he could not see the depth of cultivation of the other three!
This was a very dangerous sign!
Either the other’s power was higher than his, or the other was cultivating an unusual spell! No matter which one it was, it was dangerous for him! He couldn’t help but celebrate that he had kept his attitude extremely humble.
The common saying was that one did not slap a smiling face. He, Xu Zheng Wei, was also a jindan. Placing his own self-pride so low, the other would be embarrassed to attack.
As expected, the enmity of the group decreased but at this time, a familiar voice interrupted the easing situation!
“Grandpa Xu! Save me! Save Qing’er”
He saw a female with a swollen face and loose hair struggling on the hand of the leader! Back then in the shadow, Xu Zheng Wei had seen it clearly. This young person was the decision-maker of the group, and one of those he could not perceive the power of!
Elder Xu stilled and looked in disbelief at the completely changed Ren Qing. “Qing’er? You are Qing’er?”
“Wuu-wuu-wuu! Grandpa Xu, save Qing’er!”
Mentally strained, Ren Qing started to cry.
Learning that Zuo Mo was holding Ren Qing, Elder Xu instantly understood. How couldn’t he know Ren Qing’s arrogance? It definitely was that Ren Qing had provoked the other and resulted in her being disciplined!
He could see that the other had had mercy. Ren Qing’s hair was loose, her face bruised but she was not heavily injured. The other definitely had not used ling power. Otherwise, Ren Qing wouldn’t be alive.
Elder Xu felt a great headache. He didn’t hold any good feelings for Ren Qing’s difficult personality. However, he still had to consider Ren Qing’s elders. The reason that Ren Qing could be so arrogant in Xu Ling City had a direct connection with her overprotective elders, who had strange personalities!
If he stood aside today, those old people would definitely make trouble for him tomorrow!
This was terrible!
Elder Xu felt bitter inside. He raised his folded hands and said sincerely, “Little brothers, this old man is acquainted with the elders of this girl. Little girl doesn’t understand worldly matters. Today’s events are a lesson for her. Please, raise your hands and let her go.”
Zuo Mo hadn’t planned on taking Ren Qing’s little life. Seeing Xu Zheng Wei’s sincere attitude, he nodded and said easily, “Okay!”
As he spoke, he waved his hand and Ren Qing flew towards Elder Xu.
Elder Xu hurriedly raised a hand and received Ren Qing!
When Ren Qing landed, her eyes became red. Pointing at Zuo Mo’s group, she shrieked, “Grandpa Xu! Kill them! Kill them all!”
Elder Xu’s expression changed. He hadn’t expected Ren Qing to be so idiotic that she could not understand the situation. The other group’s expressions became unfriendly and showed hints of killing intent.
He smiled awkwardly and said, “So sorry! Little child is still shocked, sorry! The lesson today is good for her!”
Xu Zheng Wei’s words caused the expressions of Zuo Mo’s group to ease again.
But at this time, a dark voice suddenly sounded at this time, “When was it someone else’s turn to lecture a child of our Ren Family?”
Xu Zheng Wei’s expression changed!
Three old people walked in through the door. All of them had white hair and beards, their expressions dark. The moment that Zuo Mo had grabbed Ren Qing, she had secretly torn apart the Lifesaving Seal. The three had received Ren Qing’s request for aid, paled and hurried over.
When Ren Qing saw the three old people, she cried as she fell into the embrace of the leader.
“Grandpa! Grandpa!”
The leading old person warmly comforted her, “Qing’er, don’t cry, Grandpa will settle the score for you!”
Ren Qing raised her head, a poisonous light flashing in her eyes as she ground her teeth. “I want them all dead! All of them dead!”
“Qing’er, rest your heart,” another old person spoke, “Second Grandpa promises none of them will live past today.”
“Dare to bully our Ren Family, you have guts!” The Third Ren was brimming with killing intent.
Ren Qing’s eyes were vicious. She pointed at Shang Wei Ming and said, “That is Shang Wei Ming from the Old Shang Family! Don’t kill him, I want to slowly sort him out!”
Shang Wei Ming’s face was ashen. He knew it would be hard to escape this calamity!
“Yes, as long as you are happy, anything for you!” Eldest Grandpa was peerlessly benevolent.
“And his son that’s at Clear Mountain Sword Sect!” Ren Qing said poisonously.
“Yes, we’ll definitely capture him for Qing’er!”
Shang Wei Ming felt a thunder clap over his head, his thoughts ended!
Ren Qing showed a cruel smile. “I want … …”
At this moment, Zuo Mo and the others suddenly disappeared.
The faces of the three Ren Family elders changed. Eldest Grampa’s reaction was not slow. He pushed and Ren Qing was shielded behind his back.
A void sword essence, a rainbow sword essence, and a dense fist essence appeared!
Each instantly locked onto one of the three people!
The three felt their hairs stand up!
At the same time, a faint gold figure flashed behind the three people.
Ren Qing’s voice suddenly stopped, her cruel smile freezing on her face. She heard the crack of a bone in her neck, and then she found the angle of her vision become extremely strange. Before she was swallowed by the tide of darkness, she managed to make out words.
“For women like you, it’s better for you to die.”
Chapter 443: Collision
No one had expected Zuo Mo would take the opportunity to make a sneak attack!
Xu Zheng Wei’s head rang. Looking at Ren Qing’s strangely angled neck, he was stunned. The other’s viciousness and decisiveness was far beyond his predictions. He had never thought that this conflict would directly become a battle to the death!
With the protective personalities of the Three Ren Elders and their affection for Ren Qing, there was only one conclusion of this situation, it would end in a battle to the death!
This group of young people, with unknown origins, had used a crisp and clean sneak attack to show their determination to fight and their fearlessness.
After the amazement was endless panic.
The three jindan of the Ren family were very famous in Xu Ling City. Even Xu Ling Sect gave them some face. Xu Zheng Wei was also a jindan but he knew his strength was not a match for these three unreasonable people
Xu Zheng Wei suddenly been placed in a very awkward position.
It was not good to provoke the three Ren elders, but this young group of unknown origins were not friendly either. The young grouper wasn’t afraid
of the three Ren elders at all. Adding on that he could not clearly determine their strength, he didn’t dare to move. If he remained neutral and the Ren family was defeated it would be fine, but if the Ren Family won then his days would not be easy. With the temperment of the three Ren Elders, they would definitely make trouble for him in the future.
In an instant, countless thoughts spun in Xu Zheng Wei’s mind.
Seeing their granddaughter die in front of them, the three old men glared angrily, their eyes instantly turned red. They shouted in anger and, in unison, went all out!
A green color quickly spread over the body of the Elder Ren. His entire face became black green and his old features seemed to have the texture of bark. His skin also became very coarse. A thick wood element power rose! When the green color reached his head, his black green hair grew at astounding speed, becoming thumb-thick green vines. The green vines danced wildly on the head like green snakes furiously twisting their bodies!
Pia pia pia!
The dancing green vines whipped towards Wei Sheng’s sword essence.
These crisp green vines were unusually strong. When they collided with Wei Sheng’s sword essence, it created metallic sounds and sparks flew!
A layer of white water mist shrouded Second Ren’s body. His entire body became transparent, his figure quickly merging into the water. In a brief interval, he had became a transparent person made of water.
Facing Zong Ru’s dense fist essence, the water person’s shape changed. He turned to a thin stream of water, and like a snake, dodging at a strange angle!
Third Ren was completely covered in a ball of fire. The burning flames sprouted from his body. The gold starshine rock under his feet started to melt and his skin started to peel.
When Xie Shan’s sword essence approached near the flames on Third Ren’s body, they burst into sparks!
After his successful attack on Ren Qing, Zuo Mo returned to stand next to Gongsun Cha. He saw the three old men attacking and his heart instantly shook!
These were roaming xiu!
These three old men were roaming xiu!
Roaming xiu was a very broad category. Usually, xiuzhe other than sword xiu, seal xiu, and dhyana xiu all other xiu were categorized as roaming xiu. Among the roaming xiu, the most common were five element roaming xiu. The five elements were easy to learn but were hard to master. But if one reached a stage of mastery, there were many wondrous powers! There were many five element spells on the market, and so roaming xiu that cultivated the five elements were the most common.
