Chapter 549: Do You Like Me?【First Update】
"Arrogant and conceited!" Qianye Ming burst into a cold laugh upon hearing Li Xiaoyao's words. "You Zhina people are always so arrogant, lacking humility. Today, I will show you how you ought to politely treat a Cultivator with a powerful Cultivation Level."
Having said this, Qianye Ming took out a katana.
The handle of the katana was quite long. He grasped it with both hands, one in front of the other, and swayed it up and down in a very odd pose with a focused gaze and a rhythmic breathing.
The woman in black, upon seeing this, had a sparkle in her beautiful eyes. "Ming-san is about to use the third layer of the Qianye katana flow!"
"Within the young generation of the Qianye Family, only a handful have mastered the third layer. With this skill, Ming-san can definitely be ranked in the top ten of the family," said the woman in black with admiration. "Although this man from Xuan Country has cultivated his physique to the peak of Houtian, he is no match for Ming-san's third layer of the Qianye katana flow."
Lin Yuanyuan, hearing her stumbling, clumsy Xuan Country dialect, was clearly annoyed and cursed, "What the hell are you blabbering about?"
The woman in black was startled. Her command of the Xuan Country language was not strong, and it took her a few seconds to fully grasp what Lin Yuanyuan had said. She immediately became furious and said, "Bastard, once he's dealt with this matter here, he will definitely strip you naked."
"Do all people from Shui Country like dreaming as much as you do?" Lin Yuanyuan lit another cigarette and replied nonchalantly.
While the two women were fiercely clashing with words, Qianye Ming had already made his move.
His attack was even more tricky than that of Qianye Lichuan and much faster.
The katana was like lightning, and it carried a special energy. With each slash, even the air seemed to twist slightly, parting like water in a lake being pushed to both sides.
"Running Thunder!"
Qianye Ming's face became somber, and he softly uttered two words. This strike really was like running thunder as it came slashing down.
With the strike, the entire private room shook slightly, and all the tea and dinnerware on the table exploded, an alarming sight to behold.
Qian Zhengfa and Liang Wenshuo turned pale, trying hard not to show their fear, but the bobbing of their Adam's apples and the trembling of their hands betrayed their inner terror.
"Die!"
Li Xiaoyao stood his ground, not budging an inch.
To him, Qianye Ming's attack was hardly worth mentioning.
The two were clearly not on the same level. If Li Xiaoyao was an elephant, then Qianye Ming wasn't even comparable to an ant.
How can the strength of an ant contend with that of a tiger or an elephant?
As the katana came chopping down, Li Xiaoyao nonchalantly tilted his body and lightly flicked the blade with his right index finger.
"Clang~"
This seemingly ordinary flick was, in fact, imbued with a terrifying power.
The force of the blow split open the flesh of Qianye Ming's hands, soaking them in blood. The immense force shattered the meridians in his arms, draining his face of all color.
And as for the katana, its surface instantly became covered with countless cracks before exploding into fragments of fine steel that clattered onto the floor.
Qianye Ming's eyes widened in disbelief, staring at the scattered pieces of his blade. His eyes lost their luster as he muttered, "This is impossible. I've reached the third layer; he should not be my match. Why is this happening? Why..."
"How is an ant to know the strength of a tiger or an elephant?" Li Xiaoyao shook his head dismissively and spoke softly as he flicked his finger lightly—a breath of irresistible force sliced across Qianye Ming's neck, severing his head from his body, killing him instantly.
The woman in black trembled in terror. When Li Xiaoyao had killed Qianye Lichuan, she was just surprised. She had thought Qianye Ming would surely kill him with ease, but the outcome was beyond her worst fears.
Li Xiaoyao killed Qianye Ming as if he were slaughtering a chicken, you must know, Qianye Ming had cultivated the Qianye blade technique up to the third level.
Even if Qianye Ming's aptitude was not the absolute best in the Qianye family, he was still ranked within the top ten.
And yet, such a talented individual from the Qianye family died at Li Xiaoyao's hands in such a straightforward manner.
How powerful was this man from Xuan Country, exactly?
Having dealt with Qianye Ming, Li Xiaoyao stepped forward and appeared in front of the woman in black.
"What do you want to do?" the woman in black got up from the chair in fright, backing away continuously until she stumbled over something and fell to the ground.
"Go back and tell your Family Head that the incident today shall end here, they have only themselves to blame for the consequences. Do you understand?" Generally speaking, unless a woman did something that left Li Xiaoyao with no choice but to kill her, he rarely laid his hands on women.
"Understood, understood," the woman in black, named Qianye Lizhi, had already been terrified by Li Xiaoyao's formidable strength, and now she nodded repeatedly upon hearing his words.
"Good, you can leave now."
Qianye Lizhi looked at the two corpses on the ground, gritted her teeth, and asked, "Mr. Li, may Lizhi take the bodies of Ming-san and Lichuan-jun back with me?"
Li Xiaoyao was somewhat surprised; this woman turned out to be sentimental.
"Take their Storage Rings off and take the bodies away," he said.
"Thank you, Mr. Li." Qianye Lizhi did not dare to haggle, carefully removed the two Storage Rings, placed them respectfully on the table, then stored the two bodies into a Storage Ring and quickly left the place.
After Qianye Lizhi left, the atmosphere in the private room became a bit eerie for a moment.
"From now on, refuse all partnerships. For those you can't refuse, leave them to me." To prevent such things from happening again, Li Xiaoyao set down strict rules with them in advance.
"Alright," the two of them nodded and responded, and Li Xiaoyao then waved his hand, "You may go out first."
"Yes." Only when the two stood up did they realize that their calves were still trembling.
The door shut, and only Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yuanyuan were left in the private room.
"I don't want to do this anymore," Lin Yuanyuan leaned back, crossing her legs and propping them on the table.
With the table being high and the chair low, Lin Yuanyuan's skirt offered a view that was all too clear from Li Xiaoyao's angle.
Li Xiaoyao's gaze wandered, occasionally drifting over, which Lin Yuanyuan noticed. She intentionally twisted her legs back and forth, and eventually asked, "Do you like what you see?"
"Cough cough." Li Xiaoyao quickly averted his gaze and asked, "Is there anything else? If not, I'll be leaving now."
Lin Yuanyuan put her legs down, smiling as she walked towards Li Xiaoyao, "If you dare to walk out that door, I'll claim to the outside world that you raped me."
His mouth twitched a few times, Li Xiaoyao said, "Do you have to be so vicious, I damn well know what my sexual orientation is, and you actually want to slander me for raping a man?"
"Dog slave!" Lin Yuanyuan bit her teeth in anger, then stepped on his foot with her high heel before swiftly advancing a few steps to corner him against the wall.
Lin Yuanyuan propped one hand against the wall behind him, stood on her tiptoes, and leaned forward, closing in on him at an exceedingly close distance, her breath as fragrant as orchids wafting from her parted lips.
"Dog slave, tell me, do you like me or not?"
