Chapter 41
Master’s Orders: You Must Die!
On the way back to the Jiang residence, Jiang Li remained sullen, his brow furrowed and his face etched with displeasure.
In his entire life, he had never felt so humiliated!
Not only was he intimidated by a woman, but he couldn’t even do anything about it for now!
Damn it!
The more Jiang Li thought about it, the angrier he became.
Just then, a ball rolled to his feet.
Jiang Li looked up and saw a delicate little girl running towards him, reaching for the ball on the ground.
“Hmm?”
“Did this young master give you permission to pick it up?” Jiang Li said coldly to the little girl, stepping on the ball with a frown.
The little girl froze, scared and helpless. She gathered her courage and pointed at the ball under his foot, her voice trembling.
“Big brother, th-that’s my ball…”
“C-Can you give it back to me…?”
“Your ball? Hmph!”
“Do you know that your ball has dirtied this young master’s shoes?!”
Jiang Li’s voice was harsh, and he stomped on the ball, crushing it. Then, without any mercy, he slapped the little girl across the face!
He was in a bad mood!
He would take it out on this ignorant girl!
The little girl was sent flying several meters, her face red and swollen, blood trickling from her nose and mouth. She could only lie on the ground, sobbing and whimpering…
“Wuwuwu… M-Mommy…”
Jiang Li still seemed to be fuming. He strode towards the little girl.
The guards behind him sneered and flattered him.
“What a powerful slap, Young Master! Your cultivation must have improved again!”
“Of course, he’s the young master of our Jiang family, a natural talent~”
“The number one expert in Nanli City, no, the entire world!”
Although Jiang Li’s cultivation was pathetic, that slap was powerful enough to endanger the little girl’s life if she wasn’t treated immediately!
What a beast!
Jiang Li reveled in the fear and awe of the surrounding crowd and the flattery of his guards. He stood before the little girl with his head held high and raised his foot!
Seeing that Jiang Li seemed relentless and truly intended to kill the little girl, a young woman dressed in blue and white couldn’t help but grip the hilt of her sword. She was about to step forward and intervene, but her companion held her back.
“Su Yi, don’t be impulsive.”
“He’s Jiang Li of the Jiang family. Even our Nanli Academy can’t afford to provoke them…”
“The Jiang family has a powerful backer…”
“Are we just going to stand here and watch that scum kill that little girl?!” Su Yi retorted, her voice filled with indignation.
If, as a cultivator, she couldn’t even save lives and uphold justice, then what was the point of cultivating!
Her companion was speechless, unable to refute her words.
As Su Yi and her companion argued, a woman rushed towards Jiang Li and knelt at his feet, shielding the child in her arms. She pleaded tearfully:
“Young Master Jiang! My child didn’t understand and has offended you. Please have mercy and spare her!”
Jiang Li frowned, about to kick the woman away, but then he noticed that she still retained some charm and beauty. A lewd smile spread across his face, and he changed his mind.
He bent down and leaned closer to the woman, his eyes roaming over her body.
“I can spare her, but it depends on your sincerity~” he said with a wicked smile.
“Sincerity…?” the woman murmured in confusion.
Her family wasn’t wealthy; she had no money or possessions that could interest Jiang Li.
Then, Jiang Li’s lewd voice whispered in her ear, and the woman’s face instantly turned pale.
“Madam, you would do anything for your child, wouldn’t you?”
He wasn’t usually interested in married women, looking down on “secondhand goods,” let alone a woman with only average looks.
But after seeing Luo Ruying earlier, he couldn’t help but feel restless and suddenly wanted to try the taste of a married woman…
The woman froze in despair, not knowing what to do.
Ordinary people like them were powerless against the tyranny of the Jiang family…
Seeing that the woman didn’t answer, Jiang Li reached out and grabbed her, trying to drag her away.
Just then, the child’s father, having heard the news, rushed over. He was dressed in worn-out clothes, his hands rough and calloused, clearly a working-class man.
Seeing his daughter on the ground, the man burst into tears. Then, noticing Jiang Li pulling his wife, he rushed over and knelt down, pleading:
“Young Master Jiang! Please spare my wife and daughter!”
“What have they done wrong? If you must punish someone, punish me!”
“Get lost!”
“Don’t disturb this young master’s fun!”
“I’ll return your wife to you after I’m done with her!”
Jiang Li kicked the man aside and forcefully dragged the woman away.
Su Yi, unable to bear it any longer, drew her sword and was about to stop Jiang Li!
But just as she drew her sword, a ghostly figure flashed past Jiang Li’s guards with incredible speed!
Hmm?
Did something just pass by them?
The guards looked at each other in confusion. In the next second, their bodies split apart along numerous cracks, sliced into several pieces!
Blood sprayed out, raining down like a shower!
Everyone froze, no one understanding what had just happened!
In an instant, all of Jiang Li’s guards were slaughtered!
“Aaaargh!”
“M-Murder!”
The onlookers screamed and scattered in terror.
Su Yi and her companions were also stunned and confused. They turned to see a figure, clad in a bamboo hat, with a slender, snake-like waist, standing amidst the rain of blood, wielding a serpentine sword…!
This person was incredibly strong!
Their first reaction was an instinctive fear of this mysterious figure!
They couldn’t even capture her movements!
The Sky-Swallowing Python, her celestial sword in hand, slowly walked towards Jiang Li.
Jiang Li, terrified, had fallen to the ground. He frantically shouted:
“Elder Zhao! Save me!”
Zhao Zhuohao leaped forward, shielding Jiang Li. He stared at the mysterious woman with fear and asked:
“Who are you?!”
“Why are you attacking my Jiang family?!”
Zhao Zhuohao’s forehead was covered in cold sweat as he focused on the Sky-Swallowing Python.
He had never felt such fear before!
This fear was even greater than what he felt facing Luo Ruying!
He had been closely watching Jiang Li, but he hadn’t seen this woman make a move!
Before he could even react, everyone was dead, slain by her sword!
To be able to do this meant her cultivation was far beyond his own!
He was at the Immortal Transformation Realm, one of the strongest cultivators in the entire Southern Continent!
The Sky-Swallowing Python didn’t bother wasting words with Zhao Zhuohao. Her cold, snake-like eyes narrowed, and she coldly declared his death sentence.
“Master’s orders: You must die!”
