“I’m ready!”
“SHUT IT!” Feng Xue’s powerful voice reverberated in everyone’s ears as the powerful aura of King Realm gushed out of her, violently throwing away the old man.
The old man cowered in fear with wide eyes as he looked at Feng Xue’s powerful persona.
“S-She is a King Realm expert?”
He was dumbfounded out of his mind
before he stabilized himself and knelt in front of her.
“Oh Powerful cultivator, please help us. That Bastard Jotu was forcing me to commit such an inhumane crime of
sacrificing a lady! You have to save us innocent, weak people. We can only rely on you, oh ever-powerful king realm
cultivator!”
“Everyone! Now we are saved! We have a King Realm Expert protecting us, quickly thank her!”
The Old man began to sing praises of her, changing his demeanor in the blink of an eye.
Everybody, hearing his word, knelt down and began to yell:
“Please help us, oh great Expert!”
“Please help us, oh great Expert!”
“Please help us, oh great Expert!”
Feng Xue was surprised to see this sudden change.
Just a few seconds ago, they all wanted to sacrifice her to these bandits for the sake of saving themselves, however, now that they’ve found out that she was a king realm expert, they began to act helpless and weak as if they weren’t the same people who were alright with sacrificing her.
She hated these hypocrites and wanted to simply slit their viper throats, especially that old man’s.
However, she knew that she had to first
focus on the bandits. They were the ones
that needed her attention.
When she looked around, her eyes
widened to find out that the bandits had
already left and were running for their lives.
Ashen had also vanished, however, she
knew that he had gone after their leader.
She closed her eyes to sense the various lifeforms around her.
She cultivated the fire path and thus after
attaining mastery in that path, she had a skill that could let her sense the heat
emanating from various lifeforms.
Also, cultivators below the core-formation
realm couldn’t control the heat emanating
from them.
She could sense multiple lifeforms traveling at a very high speed away from her and she knew who they were.
Wheels of Fire!
She raised her hands, palms facing the sky
as wheels of fire appeared on top of her palm, rotating rapidly, throwing amber due to their speed.
Flying in the air, she launched these wheels in the direction of these escaping bandits.
For anyone below the core-formation realm, these wheels were like a death sentence, impossible to escape from. “Ahhhhhh!” Screams filled with fear and pain began resounding from different directions, indicating that these bandits had been struck by those wheels.
Anyone struck would be instantly engulfed in flames due to the fire qi, which low-level cultivators could never withstand.
These screams made everyone present
cower in fear of Feng Xue’s strength. She wasn’t even seeing them and could kill the bandits this easily.
She was killing with closed eyes and didn’t
even need to chase those bandits. This was proof enough of her strength.
The old man and others on the carriage
could only look at her with awe and hope that she wouldn’t take revenge on them for
their previous misconduct.
Meanwhile, on Ashen’s side,
“P-Please let me go! I beg of you!” Jotu
begged in front of Ashen with only one hand and leg intact.
It didn’t even take a second for Ashen to
cut Jotu’s right arm and leg. “Have you ever let go of anyone just
because they begged you? How many
women must’ve suffered due to you, you
never thought about letting them go… So why should I?”
Ashen asked with a calm expression while looking at him with curiosity.
“NO! I wife and two sons. They are waiting for me
ever raped any woman! I have a
at home! I promise to never do any of this
again. I’ll do farming from now on! Please
let me go…”
Jotu’s
eyes leaked tears as he begged as sincerely as he could.
“Oh, You never raped a woman? Then why were demanding women from that carriage? What was the purpose?” Ashen asked with a raised eyebrow.
Jotu hesitated for a second before answering sincerely: “Those were not my demands. I only needed goods for my
family’s survival, but the other bandits
under me were unmarried men. They rape
women and if I don’t provide them with women, then they could eye my wife and could commit something unthinkable while I am away! I had no choice…”
He wept as he explained his horrible
situation.
“Hmm… Well bad luck dude, I’m not the
one who will judge you, but that girl that you demanded. As for your sons and wife,
their safety will be in a pinch. I can only help you safeguard their safety, what do you say?”
Jotu looked up at Ashen with gratitude-filled eyes as he nodded in a hurry: “Yes, Please just safeguard my
family. They are innocent and they don’t know anything about me doing this! I’ll forever be grateful if you can do that!”
Due to Jotu’s occupation, he had many enemies and once he was gone, his family would be targeted and that was his biggest worry. Ashen’s offer to safeguard them was like water to the thirsty!
“Alright then tell me the location of your
family, I’ll need to relocate them to guarantee their safety!”
Jotu nodded as he told the location of his family. It wasn’t far from their current location and hence Ashen reached there in
the blink of an eye.
It was a small house with a large courtyard
and farms around it. Ashen noticed a
woman drying the washed-up clothes and two men carrying out farming chores. Ashen informed them of Jotu’s death and why he was here. As proof, he showed Jotu’s knife. Jotu’s wife collapsed instantly due to the sudden news while the two sons were better at taking the news. “There is still time. If you want to witness
the last moments of your father, I can take you to him!” Ashen offered to the two sons. “Really??” The two sons showed their shock
as they instantly nodded in agreement.
“Alright then, stand close to me!” Ashen instructed.
The sons, after getting their mother on the bed, left with Ashen.
In the blink of an eye, they were on the cliff
from where they could see the carriage.
They hid behind a rock as they observed the scene in front.
In the center of the carriage was their
father with only one arm and leg, lying
helplessly infront of a woman with Patriarch Purple hair.
He was being protected by a silver barrier
before the barrier suddenly vanished as soon as those sons laid eyes on their father.
“Looks like this is it…” Jotu murmured upon witnessing the barrier’s dissipation as he turned his gaze towards the rock from
where his sons were peeping at him. them a smile before looking at
He
gave
Feng Xue as he said weakly: “I’m ready!”
