33: Even if you don't make a move, I can still kill them.
These two Nascent Souls were precisely Li Jing and Huang Rulin. At this moment, their Divine Souls were already shattered. Facing an experienced Soul Transformation expert like Guo Dewu, killing them was effortless; no technique could have any effect.
Especially Huang Rulin, who, even before his death, couldn't understand why the Mountain Revered Master of Heavenly Sword Sect dared to directly attack simply because he harbored murderous intent!
Didn't he care about the Human Race's camaraderie at all?
Was he not afraid of his Revered Master's retaliation?
Of course, why would Guo Dewu bother explaining to them? Given the talent Shen Nian displayed, let alone the two of them, even if their Revered Master came, Guo Dewu would still kill them without hesitation.
Shen Nian could not suffer the slightest mishap!
At this very moment.
“This is...” Xia Youyue was too shocked to speak. She then looked at the smiling Mountain Revered Master Guo, suddenly finding the Heavenly Sword Sect somewhat incomprehensible.
Aren't the Three Sects an Alliance?
Although she knew there were considerable hidden struggles, it would never escalate to a Soul Transformation expert personally killing someone.
Because at that level, if they fought, it would be difficult to end, and internal strife was not a good thing for the Human Race.
Also!
Didn't she hear that the Second Mountain Revered Master was amiable, refined, and easygoing?
How could he just kill them like that?!
Xiao Qinger, on the other hand, slightly parted her cherry lips, her face filled with shock, momentarily speechless.
“Hehe, how about it? Surprised? Unexpected? Isn't your Senior Martial Uncle's work satisfactory?” Guo Dewu was very pleased to see the two girls' astonished expressions, then looked at Shen Nian and smiled.
Shen Nian said calmly, “Actually, even if you didn't act, I could have killed them, and their Nascent Souls would have been mine.”
To be honest, he was quite annoyed.
After all, these were two Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, and their Storage Pouches might have contained good things.
Now that they were gone just like that, he felt somewhat empty inside.
“...” Guo Dewu was speechless.
This kid, why can't he tell good from bad?
I'm your Senior Martial Uncle!
Can't he say something nice?
“Fine, fine, fine...”
“Take them, take them. Anyway, these things are useless to me.” Guo Dewu unhappily tossed the two Nascent Souls and two Storage Pouches to Shen Nian.
“Thank you, Senior Martial Uncle.” Shen Nian took them, put them into his Storage Pouch, and said indifferently.
“...” Guo Dewu's mouth twitched.
Now he calls me Senior Martial Uncle?
Suddenly!
Guo Dewu turned his head, his expression somewhat strange, and said, “Another surprise?”
At this very moment.
Outside the Gray Wolf Palace on You Mountain.
A burly man, like an iron tower, stood quietly there, his eyes radiating ferocity. His exposed upper body was covered in black Demonic Qi, and his entire being exuded a thick Demonic Qi, his expression indifferent.
“Madam, please accept my condolences.”
In front of him, amidst wolf corpses scattered everywhere, a woman dressed in a white long gown, her black hair tied up with a golden hairpin, let a crystalline tear slide down her cheek. Her elegant face was filled with sorrow.
“I will enter Yunzhou, slaughter the city, and offer it as a sacrifice to the spirits of my brother and son in heaven!” Her red lips were tightly pressed, but her voice, contrary to her image, was a rare, high-pitched, 'clipped' tone.
Only with the lives of an entire Human Race province's populace could she soothe the pain of losing her son and brother.
The burly man surveyed the ravaged battlefield, his expression grave, “Madam, this person could easily deal with the three races; he must be at the Nascent Soul level. This matter still requires some planning.”
He knew all too well the Heavenly Demon Cave's allure for Human Race powerhouses. Once their identities were revealed, who knows how many powerhouses from the Three Sects would appear to claim their heads for bounty money.
Moreover, without even knowing the situation, rushing into a Human Race city, wasn't that madness?
All for an old Loose Cultivator wolf and an impure mixed-blood bird?
It's not worth it!
Furthermore, the whereabouts of Lord Black Feather Demon King are currently unknown; he might be trapped. At this critical juncture, it's best not to cause any more trouble.
“I don't care!” Madam Xiqin gritted her silver teeth, revealing sharp fangs, and said coldly, “I must slaughter Yunzhou!”
“A bunch of my Yao Race's underlings dared to attack my brother. Shouldn't they be killed?”
Since she married into the Heavenly Demon Cave and became Black Feather's most beloved concubine, when had she ever suffered such grievances?
The burly man felt utterly speechless, but still patiently explained, “Madam is right, but the Human Race is not entirely defenseless. Without knowing the enemy's strength, rashly heading to Yunzhou is not a rational move.”
As a great general under the Black Feather Demon King, what kind of storms had he ever feared?
But he truly feared accompanying this reckless and troublesome Madam Xihua here.
If he hadn't happened to run into her, he wouldn't have come even if it killed him.
However, Madam Xiqin didn't listen at all. She turned and stepped forward, her figure vanishing from the spot.
“General, if you don't want to go, then don't. After all, I'm just a concubine, how can I trouble the General with everything...” Xiqin showed a hint of grievance and added.
“...” The burly man fell silent, then said, “Madam, this subordinate did not mean that.”
“Sigh, General, you go back first. I refuse to believe I can't wipe out a mere Yunzhou.”
“If anything truly unexpected happens, at worst, Xiqin will just die with her brother and son; at least they'll have company...”
Madam Xiqin showed a look of resolve, as if ready to die, and walked away, tears still glistening in her eyes.
Seeing this, the burly man sighed helplessly and followed her.
If he didn't go and something happened to this woman, the Black Feather Demon King wouldn't necessarily kill him, but punishment would be unavoidable.
As an outsider Yao Race, he was already ostracized by the Three-Headed Bird tribe; he couldn't afford to lose the Black Feather Demon King's favor... In the streets of Yunzhou.
Madam Xiqin walked straight through, yet no one detected her Yao Race identity. With every step she took, she covered several zhang.
“Hmph!”
“These Human Race meat-eaters dare to covet my beauty. All of them deserve to die!”
Several patrolling Demon Suppressing Army soldiers looked puzzled and rubbed their eyes.
“Strange, was I seeing things? How did something just whiz past?”
“I think I saw it too. Must be my eyes playing tricks...”
“Yeah, maybe we've been working too hard these past two days. Forget it, let's just patrol properly. With Lord Shen overseeing Yunzhou, what could possibly go wrong?”
Madam Xiqin, from a distance, showed a cold smile, looking at these Demon Suppressing Army soldiers as if they were already dead.
“A bunch of meat-eaters, tsk...”
Immediately after, she sensed the burly man's aura, smiled with satisfaction, then closed her eyes, beginning to search carefully for something.
“My son's aura...”
Found it!
The next second!
Her figure appeared directly in front of the Xiao Family's main gate, stepping inside and heading straight into the private courtyard.
When she saw the figure sitting there, she paused, then sneered, “Who killed my son? Confess voluntarily, and this Madam might be merciful and let you suffer less torment.”
Behind her, the burly man who had just caught up was struck by lightning, completely paralyzed with fear.
“Guo... Guo Dewu...” The burly man instantly recognized the immortal-like old man. As a great general of Black Feather, how could he not know this Human Race powerhouse who had chased their Demon King for decades?
At this moment, the burly man was utterly paralyzed with fear!
In his heart, he had already cursed this idiotic woman, Xihua, a thousand, ten thousand times!
This wretched woman has truly killed me!!!
