Chapter 172: You Are Courting Death!
The door burst open with a loud crash. Wood splinters and broken metal hinges flew as the guard's body shot into the room, flailing and screaming. He didn't stop there, he crashed straight into the half-naked Young Master Han, who had been mid-roar, his face full of fury. Both men tumbled across the floor, knocking over a low table covered in wine cups and silk cushions.
Yun Wuji stepped through the ruined doorway and gave the room a quick glance. The scene before him was… predictable.
Four women lay on the bed, their limbs spread out, eyes rolled back, and their lower regions filled with a sticky, unpleasant liquid. It seemed the stimulation had been too much for them, as they had passed out with an ahegao expression on their faces.
On the side of the bed stood two dressed women. One wore a tight yellow robe with a low cut that exposed her thighs and a small part of her buttocks, along with an open cleavage that revealed nearly half of her chest. The other woman was dressed in a short red cheongsam that reached just to her inner thighs.
And then there was Young Master Han. He shoved the guard off him and scrambled to his feet, not bothering to check if the man was still alive. His silken trousers hung loosely on his hips, his chest rising and falling with rage. Face twisted in fury, he glared at Yun Wuji and roared,
"Bastard! Who are you?!"
Then, without waiting for an answer, he snarled, "No! I don't care who you are! I'm gonna grind your bones to dust! How dare you do this to me?!"
Yun Wuji ignored the raging young master. His gaze shifted back to the two women, his eyes lingering on their bodies for a while before he smiled and said, "Fairy Yao and Fairy Su, right? You look better than in the photos. Hmm, you also have nice bodies."
"..." Fairy Yao, Fairy Su.
"..." Mu Xuanyin.
Who would say something like that in a situation like this?
"What's going on?!" Two half-naked guards rushed into the room, quickly positioning themselves in front of Young Master Han. They glanced at the dead guard on the floor before glaring at Yun Wuji.
They had been enjoying the company of the courtesans in the adjacent room when they sensed a powerful aura erupting from their young master's room. Immediately, they hurriedly put on their pants and rushed to the room.
"Young Master, what happened?" one of the guards asked.
Although the two guards who were supposed to be guarding the room were weaker than them, being at the 6th and 5th Divine Spirit Realm, how could they have died so quickly?
Pa!
"Trash! Where have you been?!" The young master answered him with a slap, then roared at both guards, pointing at Yun Wuji. "Cripple this bastard!"
The young master usually took good care of his guards and treated them well. When he indulged himself, he often allowed them to enjoy some 'fun' as well. But this time, his anger consumed him. He no longer cared about anything else; all he wanted was to torture this kid in front of him.
"...Yes!" The guard who had been slapped didn't dare to say a word. He simply nodded respectfully before turning to face Yun Wuji, his eyes burning with intense rage as if he wanted to take out all the anger and humiliation from the slap on him.
"Kid, die!" Both guards drew their weapons and charged at Yun Wuji.
Despite seeing the state of the two fallen guards, they were undeterred. They were confident in their strength, believing they could do the same if they fought seriously. They also clearly sensed that Yun Wuji was only at the 10th level of the Divine Soul Realm, so they assumed he had relied on an artifact to defeat the previous guards.
Such artifacts had limitations. As long as they didn't give him a chance to use them again, they were sure they could handle him easily.
Seeing these two guards rushing at him so confidently, Yun Wuji almost wanted to complain about their stupidity. Why are people here so dumb? he thought. Don't they know about something called probing?
Who in their right mind would rush in like this in a situation like this?
In reality, it wasn't that the two guards were completely dumb—well, they were stupid, but not completely mentally handicapped. It was just that Yun Wuji's cultivation was so misleading. Who would believe that someone at the Divine Soul Realm could actually harm a Divine Spirit cultivator? They would rather believe that a Devil Emperor was still alive or that the Ancestral Goddess hadn't perished.
With the speed of Divine Spirit Cultivators, a few hundred meters was nothing. The two guards reached Yun Wuji almost instantly, their swords slashing down at him with all their strength. Although their young master had ordered them to cripple him, they didn't care about that. They weren't willing to give this kid the chance to use any 'artifact' to turn the situation around.
The young master watched the scene with a malicious glare, while the two women by the bed looked at Yun Wuji in horror. Although they didn't know who he was, the fact that he was an enemy of Young Master Han made them feel a strange sympathy for him.
Just as the swords were about to strike, Yun Wuji stretched out both hands and grabbed them.
Everyone in the room, including the guards, watched in horror. There were no impacts, explosions, or splattering blood as they had expected. Instead, they saw the man casually holding both swords between his fingers.
Clack!
With a sharp clang, he increased his grip, and the two swords cracked into pieces.
Yun Wuji's cultivation was at the 11th level of the Divine Soul Realm, but his battle strength surpassed that. Right now, his combat power is equivalent to the 8th level of the Divine Spirit Realm.
*Reminder: If he were at the 10th level of the Divine Soul Realm, he could fight someone at the 7th level of the Divine Spirit Realm. Similarly, at the 13th level of the Divine Soul Realm, he could face off against someone at the 10th level of the Divine Spirit Realm.*
Against two weaklings at the 7th level of the Divine Spirit Realm, Yun Wuji didn't need to use even half of his strength.
Before anyone could recover from the shock, Yun Wuji made his move.
One moment, Yun Wuji was standing in front of them. The next, his hand was around their throats, lifting both guards off the ground.
When their eyes met his, the guards felt a wave of terror wash over them. His expressionless gaze made them feel as though they were nothing more than lifeless objects. A chill ran down their spines, their pupils shrank in fear, and their breathing became heavy. One of them quickly cried out, "Wa.."
Crack!
Before the guard could finish his scream, Yun Wuji tightened his grip. With a crack, he snapped their necks, then casually tossed their limp bodies aside as though they were nothing more than used condoms.
After getting rid of the guard, Yun Wuji looked at the two women in the room and said, "You two, take the others and leave."
Fairy Yao and Fairy Su stared at him, frozen.
"Now." Seeing their hesitation, he frowned and repeated.
"Yes!" The women scrambled forward, hastily pulling robes over their unconscious sisters, lifting them with shaky hands, and quickly ran away.
"Stop!" Young Master Han's face turned purple with rage as he shouted at the women leaving. However, the women didn't turn around, let alone stop. Instead, they increased their pace and ran away as fast as they could.
Who was he kidding? If they stayed here, they would certainly die! Even if they didn't die immediately by Young Master Han's hands, they'd be killed by the Realm King! These women had seen so much of the darkness in their lives, they weren't foolish enough to believe that if they had nothing to do with the matter, they'd remain unharmed.
The Young Master gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot. He didn't care about his dead guards; with his status, he believed that even if this kid had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare do anything to him. Pointing at Yun Wuji, he snarled, "Bastard, not only did you kill my guards for no reason, but you also spoiled my fun... You..."
"You are courting death!"
'He said it, he said it!' Yun Wuji thought to himself with a smirk. He then looked at Young Master Han and said, "Threatening me? Shouldn't you be more worried about me killing you right now?"
Honestly, Yun Wuji had no personal grudge or enmity with this young master. He hadn't seen him commit any atrocities that would stir up his tiny sense of morality to stop him for some greater good. Though what he did to the women here was far from admirable, he wasn't the only one doing it, and he paid them well...so, in Yun Wuji's eyes, it was a fair trade. His only real 'sin' was that Yun Wuji needed him for his plan, and that was all.
"Hahaha! Killing me?" The young master burst into wild laughter, his body trembling with both rage and amusement. He pointed at Yun Wuji and sneered, "Do you know who my father is?! He's a Divine Master! The Realm King of the Radiant Mountain Realm! I'll have your head mounted on—"
