13: Chapter 13: Being Killed

Chapter 13: Intercepted

“Deputy City Lord Zhai, Lou Wei has an urgent matter to report.” At this moment, a guard said to a man with cold eyes.

“Lou Wei? Let him in, and you all go out first.”

Then, more than twenty Foundation Establishment Stage maidservants left the room.

Lou Wei entered the room at this moment, then directly knelt on the ground and said, “City Lord Zhai, a fat sheep has appeared in Heavenly Origin City. I have come specifically to report to City Lord Zhai and ask City Lord Zhai to eliminate him.”

Zhai Xiong sneered, “Aren’t you Wu Xiong’s dog? You didn’t go to him to report, but came to me. You’re quite interesting.”

“City Lord Zhai, you see, that Wu Xiong is a man who devours people without spitting out bones. I’ve been working for him for fifty years, and I’m still just a manager of the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce. I’ve long wanted to stop associating with that old dog Wu.”

“Haha, good, good. It seems you hold a bargaining chip that even I cannot refuse.” Zhai Teng laughed heartily at this moment.

“City Lord Zhai, I discovered a huge secret. The Qin Family in Heavenly Origin City might have obtained a Heaven-Defying fortuitous encounter. Just now, two people claiming to be from the Qin Clan brought 5 Nine Revolutions Nascent Soul Pills, 10 Golden Essence Pills, 20 Foundation Establishment Pills, and 100 Body Tempering Pills to the Jiuli Chamber of Commerce,” Lou Wei said fawningly at this moment.

“What? Nine Revolutions Nascent Soul Pills? Are you telling the truth?” At this moment, Zhai Teng stood up from his stool, speaking in shock.

“City Lord Zhai, I’m not mistaken, and I’m sure that kid has more in his hands,” Lou Wei said at this moment.

“Good, good, good. As long as your information is true, I will definitely give you one Nine Revolutions Nascent Soul Pill and promise you the position of President of the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce.” Zhai Teng laughed heartily at this moment.

At this moment, Lou Wei spoke excitedly.

He, Lou Wei, had been at Golden Core Great Perfection for nearly 30 years, yet he had never Broken Through to the Nascent Soul Stage because he lacked Nine Revolutions Nascent Soul Pills. In these 30 years, the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce had auctioned Nine Revolutions Nascent Soul Pills 3 times, but they were all taken by that bastard Wu Xiong to Cultivate his trusted subordinates, and he never thought of him.

As for going solo, he didn’t dare, because he felt a huge sense of oppression from Tang Rou. If he dared to make a move, he would definitely be annihilated. That’s why he sought out Zhai Teng.

Zhai Teng then said to the guard, “Gather all my Imperial Guards and follow me to intercept someone.”

The guard said at this moment, “Okay, I’ll gather them immediately.”

“Oh no, those two are trying to escape!” Lou Wei said anxiously at this moment.

“Don’t worry, he can’t escape from my grasp,” Zhai Teng sneered at this moment.

At this moment, Qin Shanhai said, “Xiao Rou, someone is following us. Run quickly! This is Heavenly Origin City, we might have been targeted by people from the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce.”

“Okay, Grandpa.”

Then, Qin Shanhai took Tang Rou and flew on their swords towards the Qin Family’s direction.

“Quite alert, but do you think you can escape from my grasp?”

Then, twelve figures directly appeared around Tang Rou and Qin Shanhai, surrounding the two of them.

These were Lou Wei, Zhai Teng, and Zhai Teng’s ten Imperial Guards.

Zhai Teng was at Nascent Soul Great Perfection cultivation, and the ten Imperial Guards were at Nascent Soul Early Stage and Middle Stage cultivation, directly teleporting to surround Qin Shanhai.

“Who exactly are you?” Qin Shanhai said solemnly at this moment.

“Haha, who we are, you don’t need to know. Hand over the Nine Revolutions Nascent Soul Pills, and I can leave you with a complete corpse,” Zhai Teng sneered.

“Xiao Rou, Grandpa will hold them off for a while. You quickly return to the Qin Family to ask the Family Head for help,” Qin Shanhai said to Tang Rou at this moment.

“Trying to run? What a pipe dream! Everyone, attack!”

“You are not allowed to harm my Grandpa!” Tang Rou said excitedly at this moment.

“Alright, as long as you persuade your Grandpa to hand over the Nine Revolutions Nascent Soul Pills, I can leave you with a complete corpse,” Lou Wei sneered at this moment.

Seeing Lou Wei, Tang Rou understood everything.

Then Qin Rou summoned the Wind and Thunder Immortal Sword and slashed at Lou Wei with one strike.

At this moment, Lou Wei was sneering, when suddenly a Sword Light directly attacked him. Before he could even react, he was directly split into a bloody mist by Tang Rou’s Sword Qi, dead beyond dead.

“What a waste!” Zhai Teng sneered at this moment.

He didn’t want to give Lou Wei a Nine Revolutions Nascent Soul Pill anyway, so it was good that he died now.

Qin Shanhai looked at Tang Rou in shock at this moment, then said, “Xiao Rou, have you Cultivated?”

“Yes, Grandpa, I am now a Golden Core Great Perfection Cultivator. That person just now wanted to kill us, so I killed him. I didn’t do anything wrong, did I, Grandpa?” At this moment, Tang Rou’s face was pale, and she spoke with some self-reproach, as this was her first time killing someone.

“Xiao Rou, in the Cultivation world, the strong prey on the weak. If you don’t kill them, they will kill us. Whoever has the harder fist, that is the truth. So, you don’t need to blame yourself,” Qin Shanhai said at this moment.

“Grandpa, I understand. Since they want to kill Grandpa, then I must protect Grandpa. I will kill them.”

“Little girl, your hair hasn’t even fully grown, but your tone isn’t small.” Zhai Teng sneered at this moment.

“Azure Origin Holy Sword Art,” Tang Rou said faintly.

The Wind and Thunder Immortal Sword in Tang Rou’s hand directly floated in the air, then instantly split into eleven Immortal Swords.

“Go!” Tang Rou said at this moment.

“Oh no, that person is a Sword Cultivator!” Zhai Teng said at this moment.

“Don’t worry, City Lord Zhai, how powerful can a Golden Core Stage Sword Cultivator be? Watch me cut her down right now!” a forbidden guard said at this moment.

Unfortunately, he was about to pay the price for his arrogance. The ethereal green Wind and Thunder Immortal Sword directly flew towards the eleven people.

The Imperial Guard roared, “Mystic Turtle Shield!”

A Mystic Turtle phantom condensed around that person, guarding him on all sides.

That person was full of confidence. His Mystic Turtle Shield could not be broken through by even a Late Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator for a while, let alone a Sword Cultivator who was only at the Golden Core Stage.

The method to deal with Sword Cultivators was no longer a secret in the Profound Heaven Continent. As long as the first, most fierce attack was blocked, then the rest would be at their mercy. The fear was not being able to block even the first wave of attacks.

The ethereal Wind and Thunder Immortal Sword directly collided with the Mystic Turtle Shield. The intense Spiritual Qi fluctuations that were expected did not occur. Instead, the ethereal Wind and Thunder Immortal Sword directly pierced through the Mystic Turtle Shield condensed by the Imperial Guard, without the slightest obstruction.

The Imperial Guard secretly cursed, realizing something was wrong, and prepared for Soul Emergence. Unfortunately, the Wind and Thunder Immortal Sword was too fast, so fast that he didn’t even react.

The Wind and Thunder Immortal Sword directly penetrated the Imperial Guard’s body, instantly exploding him into a bloody mist, not even his Nascent Soul escaped.

“Zhai Yi!” The other nine Imperial Guards shouted at this moment, but the other Wind and Thunder Immortal Swords were already approaching them. It was too late to escape now, so they directly performed Soul Emergence.

At the instant of Soul Emergence, the Physical Bodies of the remaining nine Imperial Guards were directly annihilated, but their Nascent Souls escaped.

Meanwhile, the main body of the Wind and Thunder Immortal Sword directly sped towards Zhai Teng. Zhai Teng immediately circulated his Nascent Soul Peak cultivation, took out a Grade 6 Magical Artifact, the Startling Thunder Bell, and then roared, “Block it for me!”

He was afraid. Tang Rou’s attack was truly terrifying. His ten Imperial Guards hadn’t even lasted for a moment, resulting in one death and nine injuries. Was this the terror of a Sword Cultivator? When did such a terrifying Sword Cultivator appear in Heavenly Origin City? Lou Wei, I’ll f*ck your mother, you actually dared to trick me!

The Wind and Thunder Immortal Sword directly struck the Startling Thunder Bell. The Startling Thunder Bell instantly became covered in cracks, then turned into fragments, but thankfully, it blocked Tang Rou’s attack.

At this moment, Tang Rou spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. The attack she had just unleashed was a full-power strike using all her cultivation, and she suffered a backlash from Zhai Teng.

Qin Shanhai was anxious at this moment. Suddenly, he remembered Li Jiuyou saying that Nine Revolutions Nascent Soul Pills could help Golden Core Great Perfection Cultivators Breakthrough to Nascent Soul. In this situation, if Tang Rou didn’t Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, both of them would die here.

Then Qin Shanhai took out a Nine Revolutions Nascent Soul Pill from his storage ring and said to Tang Rou, “Xiao Rou, quickly take this Medicinal Pill.”

Tang Rou swallowed it without hesitation. The moment she swallowed the Nine Revolutions Nascent Soul Pill, Tang Rou’s injuries immediately healed, and then a mysterious and profound feeling surged into her heart. She knew she was about to Breakthrough to Nascent Soul.

“Oh no, she’s about to Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage! Absolutely cannot let them succeed, otherwise, we’ll all die!” Zhai Teng shouted at this moment.

Tang Rou was originally at Golden Core Great Perfection cultivation. After swallowing this Nine Revolutions Nascent Soul Pill, she directly touched the threshold of forming a Nascent Soul, and then stepped into the Nascent Soul Stage.

At this moment, a small figure slowly formed, floating between Tang Rou’s eyebrows. Suddenly, dark clouds surged in the sky, and Tang Rou’s Lightning Tribulation arrived.

The Lightning Tribulation covered an area of several hundred kilometers around, directly engulfing the few people. At this moment, those who only had their Nascent Souls left showed expressions of terror.

Zhai Teng knew at this moment that the tide had turned. If he didn’t leave now, he might not be able to leave at all. Then he directly fled into the distance.

But how could Tang Rou let them go? She loudly said, “Where do you think you’re going to run to?!”

Tang Rou let the Heavenly Tribulation strike down at this moment, ignoring herself. At this moment, she had only one thought: to kill these people. If they escaped, they would definitely bring more powerful helpers, which would be endless trouble.

And Zhai Teng and the others, under Tang Rou’s Heavenly Tribulation, their speed greatly decreased, and the Nascent Souls of the nine Imperial Guards directly perished under the Heavenly Tribulation.

Seeing that there was no escape, Zhai Teng knelt on the ground and said, “Grandma, please let me go. I will never dare again. This is all my fault. I am willing to compensate for all losses.”

“Impossible.”

“You forced me to do this! Blood Sacrifice Formation!” Zhai Teng roared at this moment, then cut off one of his arms and one of his legs with a blade, blood gushing out.

Just below the ground where the battle had taken place, lines of Formation patterns appeared. The blood of the Cultivators who had just been annihilated by Tang Rou was now mysteriously absorbed by the Formation, and Zhai Teng’s arm and leg were shattered into a bloody mist and absorbed by the Formation.

At this moment, Zhai Teng’s body’s blood was continuously absorbed, and in a short while, he became skin and bones. However, Zhai Teng’s aura was constantly rising: Nascent Soul Great Perfection, Soul Transformation Early Stage, Soul Transformation Middle Stage, Soul Transformation Late Stage, Soul Transformation Great Perfection.
