156: Chapter 156 This background is terrifying!

The word "die" was still stuck in his throat, yet to be uttered.

Cao Kun had completely lost the patience to listen to this idiot's prattling.

His right leg muscles tightened as Qi was infused into them.

Ten-Level Collapse.

"Bang!"

A muffled, heavy sound rang out.

Cao Kun's right foot solidly kicked Zhao Kuo in the chest.

Ten layers of hidden force surged through his sternum directly into his internal organs.

"Boom!"

Zhao Kuo, who had been haughty just a second ago,

didn't even have time to let out a scream before his body was sent flying like a cannonball.

He smashed heavily into a stone lion on the outskirts of the teleportation array square.

After a few twitches, he fell completely silent, dead as dead can be.

This thunderous kick instantly stunned the onlookers.

No one expected this unfamiliar young man to have such a fierce temper, striking without a word.

He showed absolutely no regard for the other party's background as a top-tier power of a major province.

"Where did this stray dog come from, daring to bark in front of me?"

Cao Kun retracted his right leg and brushed the dust off the hem of his robe.

His gaze was extremely disdainful.

Only then,

did the two grey-robed elders, who had been standing behind Zhao Kuo like background extras, finally react.

They were Dao Protectors ordered to protect the Young Lord.

Now, the Young Lord had been kicked to death like a dog right under their noses.

Once they returned to the Sect, the Sect Master would absolutely not let them off.

"Whelp, you're looking for death!"

"To dare harm the Young Lord of my Xuantian Sect, today this old man will extract your soul and refine your spirit!"

Both Dao Protectors summoned their Magic Treasures at the same time.

One from the left and one from the right, they pounced toward Cao Kun with piercing killing intent.

"Master, be careful~"

"These two old things are so fierce~"

Yu Linglong was still clinging to Cao Kun; though she cried out for him to be careful, there wasn't a hint of panic on her Face.

She casually waved her jade-like hand.

"Slap! Slap!"

Two pale purple ribbons of spiritual energy struck first despite being launched second.

They slapped the two elders' Faces with incomparable precision.

Half of their facial bones instantly caved in, and teeth flew out along with a spray of blood.

Their forward momentum came to a screeching halt, and they were then smashed into the ground at an even faster speed.

"Boom!"

The hard bluestone ground was smashed into two pits several zhang deep, and dust rose everywhere.

When the dust settled, the crowd looked closely and gasped in shock.

The two Soul Transformation Stage experts who had been insufferably arrogant just a moment ago,

were now lying in the pits like dead dogs, their Qi dissipated, and they didn't even have the strength to stand up.

If Cao Kun's kick earlier was shocking,

then Yu Linglong's slaps now were pure terror.

Who could have imagined that this seemingly weak and stunning vixen,

was actually a terrifying old monster with unfathomable cultivation!

And for a young man to make this kind of female Devil Head willingly call him "Master,"

just how terrifying must his background be?

"Impudent!"

"Who dares to gather a crowd to cause trouble and commit violence in the streets by the Yuheng Province teleportation array?!"

Just then, several powerful auras streaked over rapidly from the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.

Leading them was a burly man clad in silver armor and holding a halberd.

A large contingent of the City Lord's Mansion guards flooded into the square from all directions.

They surrounded Cao Kun and Yu Linglong in a tight circle.

Blades were unsheathed, and killing intent was stern.

"Take them down!"

The Silver-Armored Commander's halberd pointed directly at Cao Kun, with Qi flickering at its tip.

The hundred or so City Lord's Mansion guards all drew their sabers in unison.

They directly locked onto the man and woman in the center of the square.

The death of a Young Lord from a top-tier power of Guyuan Province was no small matter.

If the City Lord's Mansion didn't take a stance,

the people of the Xuantian Sect would surely settle this debt on Yuheng Province's head.

"Commander, this kid is incredibly arrogant; let's just execute him on the spot!"

A Lieutenant nearby suggested in a low voice.

The Silver-Armored Commander didn't say a word.

He was an Early stage of Spirit Severing expert himself, yet he completely failed to see through the depth of this young man.

The other party was far too calm.

He even gave the stunning woman's waist a couple of squeezes.

This person was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

Cao Kun looked at the guards surrounding him as if they were facing a great enemy and sighed helplessly.

He originally just wanted to quietly hitch a ride to the Central Province,

and tease the little fox in his arms along the way.

Why did he encounter these blind fools rushing to their deaths everywhere he went?

With a flick of his wrist, the hilt of the chaos divine sword fell into his palm.

Killing one was killing, and killing a group was also killing.

Since they couldn't be reasoned with, he could only raze the Yuheng Province City Lord's Mansion to the ground as well.

Just as Cao Kun was preparing to clear the area,

a woman's crisp voice suddenly came from the outskirts of the crowd.

"Commander, wait, do not strike yet."

Immediately following,

the onlookers were pushed aside by a gentle force of spiritual energy.

A woman walked over gracefully, swaying her hips.

The gazes of all the male Cultivators, including the guards holding their blades, were drawn toward her.

Cao Kun also turned his gaze toward this uninvited guest.

The woman was wearing a form-fitting, wine-red high-slit Cheongsam.

It tightly hugged her full and sultry figure.

Where she should be curvy, she was towering; where she should be perky, she didn't disappoint.

Most fatally, the slit of that Cheongsam,

went all the way up to the root of her thighs, even faintly approaching her waistline.

As she moved, her two long, white, and supple legs were partially visible beneath the hem of the Cheongsam.

Paired with the exquisite red high heels on her feet,

she brought a woman's mature charm to its absolute pinnacle.

Her features were bright and elegant, with fiery red lips and a tear-drop mole at the corner of her eye, adding a few hints of alluring Demonic Qi.

"Tsk," Cao Kun secretly praised in his heart.

This outfit was truly designed with an understanding of men.

Most female Cultivators in the cultivation world wore complex palace dresses and long robes.

The sudden appearance of such a modern-style stunner in a high-slit Cheongsam provided a visual impact that was completely maxed out.

It would be a pity not to pedal a tricycle with those long white legs.

The eyes of the surrounding male Cultivators stared even more blankly.

The sound of gulping rose and fell across the quiet square.

Ignoring the greedy gazes around her, the woman walked up to the Silver-Armored Commander with a beaming smile.

She held a bronze-colored token between her fair fingers and handed it over directly.

When the sharp-eyed Cultivators nearby saw the style of that token, they immediately cried out in shock.

"Hiss... that's a Treasure Pavilion token!"

"The largest merchant guild in the Three Thousand Provinces? Why would they step forward for someone from a remote province?"

The Silver-Armored Commander's expression also changed when he saw the token.

His originally tense body subconsciously bowed slightly.

But then he frowned again, his expression appearing extremely conflicted.

"This esteemed one..." The commander spoke with a stiff upper lip, his voice kept very low.

"It's not that this humble subordinate isn't giving Face to the Treasure Pavilion."

"It's just that this kid killed the Young Lord of the Guyuan Province Xuantian Sect in the middle of the street."

"That Peak Void Refinement Old Ancestor of the Xuantian Sect is famously protective of his own."

"If the City Lord's Mansion doesn't make an arrest today, we won't be able to provide an explanation to our City Lord when the Xuantian Sect comes knocking."

The commander spoke very bluntly.

The Treasure Pavilion was indeed powerful and wealthy, with business across the Three Thousand Provinces, and no one dared to offend them lightly.

But the Xuantian Sect was no pushover either.

Offending the Xuantian Sect for a Loose Cultivator he didn't even know left the City Lord's Mansion caught in the middle.

The woman was not annoyed after hearing this.

She pulled a bulging Storage Pouch from her waist and tossed it over casually.

The Silver-Armored Commander subconsciously caught it; as his Divine Sense swept inside, his breathing became heavy.

Inside were ten thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones, neatly stacked!

"These two are friends of my Treasure Pavilion."

The woman parted her red lips, her voice remaining soft and charming.

"The Commander can take this for tea money; consider it a gesture of friendship."

"As for the Xuantian Sect's side..."

She paused, her narrow eyes sweeping over Zhao Kuo's corpse on the ground.

"If that Void Refinement Stage old fogey of theirs causes trouble for the City Lord's Mansion, tell him to go directly to the Treasure Pavilion Head Office."

"Say that I am the one protecting them, and tell him my name, Pei Qinglan!"

Pei Qinglan!

The square fell into a dead silence.

One of the Nine Great Managers of the Treasure Pavilion Head Office!

Countless gazes filled with awe and curiosity fell upon Cao Kun once again.

They had originally thought he was just a reckless youth who didn't know the height of the heavens or the depth of the earth.

But now it seemed,

this was absolutely a top-tier second-generation heir from some super Immortal Family traveling incognito!

No wonder he didn't even look at those two High Grade Spirit Treasures and just kicked the Xuantian Sect Young Lord to death.

This background, terrifyingly formidable!
