184: The power of the sword domain

No wonder I hadn't seen this guy in the Core Disciple area; he was here harassing Luo Miaomiao!

"Miaomiao Junior Sister, why must you keep me a thousand miles away?"

Meng Bi's voice carried a feigned gentle tone,

but his eyes shamelessly swept over Luo Miaomiao's graceful figure.

"As the Marquis's Heir, I, your Senior Brother, have a little influence in this Inner Sect.

As long as you agree, I can arrange all your Cultivate resources and Cultivation Technique guidance perfectly..."

"I don't need it!"

Luo Miaomiao's face was flushed red with anger, like a startled kitten.

"If you keep bothering me, I will call the Elder from the Law Enforcement Hall!"

"Heh heh, call an Elder?"

A hint of malice flashed in Meng Bi's eyes, and his smile turned cold.

"Miaomiao Junior Sister, you probably don't know that Elder Zhao of the Law Enforcement Hall is an old acquaintance of My Father Marquis.

Do you think he would make trouble for me over such a 'small matter'? Be sensible and obediently..."

His words stopped abruptly!

An indescribable terrifying pressure, like an invisible mountain, crashed down!

It instantly enveloped him and the few lackeys behind him!

Buzz—!

Meng Bi felt his body sink, as if he was instantly burdened with ten thousand tons of weight!

The surging Middle Golden Core Stage Elemental Power in his body, like a frozen river, suddenly stagnated, making circulation incredibly difficult!

A brilliant Sword Intent that incinerated all things and tore space, carrying a cold sharpness that froze the Soul,

pierced fiercely into his body like countless invisible steel needles!

"Pfft!"

Meng Bi's face instantly turned crimson, like a pig's liver. His throat sweetened,

and he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood, which he forcibly swallowed back, though a trace of blood had already spilled from the corner of his mouth.

His eyes were filled with extreme horror and disbelief.

His body trembled violently, uncontrollably, as if he would be crushed by this invisible force in the next second!

As for the few lackeys behind him, who were only in the Foundation Establishment Stage, they didn't even manage a whimper.

They looked as if their bones had been removed, their eyes rolled back, and they foamed at the mouth.

With several "thump thump" sounds, they fell straight to the ground, completely unconscious!

Luo Miaomiao only felt the pressure on her body lighten, and the suffocating feeling instantly vanished.

She looked up, still shaken, and saw a tall, straight figure.

He had silently appeared not far in front of her, his back facing her.

Like a towering mountain, he blocked Meng Bi's disgusting gaze.

The figure wore the Gilded Black Robe of an Yin Yang Sect Core Disciple, his posture upright.

His aura was deep and restrained, yet he possessed an imposing presence like a deep pool or a high mountain.

"Yao... Senior Brother Yao!"

Luo Miaomiao cried out in surprise, as if finding her backbone. She quickly scurried behind Yao Delong.

Her small hand tightly grabbed his sleeve corner, as if this would grant her infinite security.

At this moment, the instant Meng Bi clearly saw the newcomer's face, his pupils shrank to the size of needle tips!

The color drained completely from his face, leaving only boundless fear and... absurdity!

"Yao... Yao Delong?! Impossible! You... How could you still be alive?!"

Meng Bi's voice became sharp and distorted due to extreme shock and fear, like a rooster being choked.

He simply couldn't believe his eyes!

He had clearly arranged for Blood Vulture Death Warriors to ambush him down the mountain!

That batch of Death Warriors was powerful and coordinated; even someone newly entering the Nascent Soul Stage would find it hard to escape!

Although they were later completely wiped out, the investigation results from the Sect and the Marquis's Estate indicated they had encountered a powerful Demonic Cultivator!

He naturally assumed that Yao Delong, the main target, must have also died at the hands of the Demonic Cultivator, leaving no remains!

Yet now, the guy he thought had long turned to dust was standing alive right in front of him!

And... this terrifying pressure that made his Middle Golden Core Stage cultivation feel despair... How was this possible?! How much time had passed?!

Yao Delong slowly turned around, his gaze calmly landing on Meng Bi's face, which was twisted by fear.

A cold arc curved on his lips, and his voice was flat but carried bone-chilling coldness:

"Junior Brother Meng, it seems the last lesson wasn't profound enough. What, are you engaging in shady business again?"

"You... you..."

Meng Bi felt cold all over from that gaze, as if he had fallen into an ice cave; his teeth were chattering.

He desperately tried to mobilize his Elemental Power to resist, but under the suppression of the invisible Sword Domain,

the power within him was like stagnant water, completely unable to condense even a fraction!

His proud Marquis's Estate background seemed so pale and ridiculous in the face of absolute power!

"I... I warn you! This is the Sect! If you dare touch me, My Father Marquis..."

Meng Bi roared, trying to sound fierce while inwardly weak, attempting to invoke his backer.

"Noisy." Yao Delong frowned slightly, and his mind moved.

"Pfft—!"

Meng Bi suffered a heavy blow and could no longer suppress it. A large mouthful of fresh blood spurted out.

He flew back several yards like a broken sack, crashing heavily onto the ground, utterly disgraced and his aura instantly wilting.

He looked at Yao Delong in terror, no longer daring to utter a single word.

Yao Delong glanced at him coldly, as if looking at an ant:

"Scram. If I ever see you harassing Junior Sister Luo again, or doing anything you shouldn't... the consequences are something you cannot bear."

That chilling killing intent, like a materialized blade, scraped across Meng Bi's skin,

making him shiver violently, his Soul trembling.

He had no doubt that Yao Delong truly dared to kill him! And possessed the power to do so!

"You... you just wait!"

Meng Bi struggled to climb up, giving Yao Delong a look of intense resentment.

He glanced fearfully at the unconscious lackeys on the ground, but finally dared not linger any longer.

He staggered away, fleeing wretchedly like a stray dog, not daring to look back.

"Hmph, a mere clown."

Yao Delong snorted coldly and retracted his Sword Domain. If not for the Sect rules and the numerous onlookers,

he truly would have cut down this menace with a single sword strike.

"Senior Brother Yao! Thank you!"

Luo Miaomiao poked her small head out from behind Yao Delong, her large eyes filled with stars of adoration and gratitude.

"You are amazing! That hateful Meng Bi didn't even dare to fart in front of you!"

Yao Delong looked at the girl's playful and cute appearance, and the coldness in his heart dissipated slightly. He said gently:

"It was nothing. With me here, he won't dare to bully you again."

"Mhm mhm!" Luo Miaomiao nodded vigorously, her small face full of happiness.

Above the high platform.

The moment Yao Delong deployed his Sword Domain and instantly suppressed Meng Bi and his companions,

Li Cen, the Peak Master of Heavenly Sword Peak, who had been resting with his eyes closed and whose aura was as solid as an ancient sword, suddenly opened his eyes!

Two rays of sharp, materialized Sword Light flashed and vanished in his pupils!

"Hmm?!"

His sharp gaze instantly pierced through the crowd, accurately locking onto Yao Delong's location. For the first time, a clear look of surprise and doubt appeared on his face.

"A Sword Domain?! A Sword Domain so pure and overbearing, carrying the dual Concepts of incineration and destruction... When did such a Prodigy appear among the Inner Sect Core Disciples? Who is this person?"

He had not seen Yao Delong's changed appearance and only felt the figure was unfamiliar.

But that Sword Intent made even him, a Sword Dao Titan, feel a trace of alarm.
