Chapter 314: Chapter 182: Mengniang Breaking the Rules_2

Speaking, Sister Wu reached out to pull Leng Jing’s arm again.

But Leng Jing remained stubborn, shaking her head with a resolute tone, "If daddy doesn’t let me go, then I won’t go. Sister Wu, it’s not that I don’t trust you, but if the elder really comes looking, you should leave first. Don’t worry about me."

Seeing the girl so stubborn, a shadow passed over Sister Wu’s eyes as she spoke with a heavy voice, "Missy, since you are unwilling to go with me, then I have no choice but to offend."

Just as she prepared to forcibly take Leng Jing away, she saw the girl raise the cactus in her hand.

The cactus blossomed with a faint azure light, its emerald-green luminance weaving around it.

Sister Wu immediately stopped in her tracks.

This cactus was a keepsake left by Leng Jing’s mother, a magic artifact of tremendous power once activated. Even her Heaven Desolation Boundary strength might not fully withstand its force, and even if it didn’t kill her, she’d be severely injured.

Sister Wu said coldly, "Missy, do you not even care about the master of the manor now?"

Leng Jing, expressionless, replied, "Sister Wu, I only believe what my daddy says. Please go back."

The others on deck kept their distance.

Jiang Shouzhong, who didn’t want any trouble, stood even further behind Chu Qi, fearing the girl would drag him in to use as a human shield.

It’s true he didn’t dislike the girl, but they weren’t even friends, and given her status as some Sect Missy or other, it was wisest to not get involved in such feuds.

Sister Wu’s expression changed unpredictably as she sighed helplessly.

"Fine, Missy. If you truly do not wish to return to the Sect, then I’ll stay and protect you. When the elder does show up, I’ll give you a chance to escape."

"No need, Sister. Go back," Leng Jing insisted, still aiming the cactus at Sister Wu.

Sister Wu’s face darkened, and after staring at the girl for a long moment, the corner of her mouth twisted into a chilling smirk, "Missy is pretty astute after all, not foolishly falling for a trick. It seems I underestimated you."

The girl’s lips pressed tightly together, but she said nothing.

Though she saw through the feeble trick, the arrival of the elder’s people instead of her father worried Leng Jing. She couldn’t help but wonder about her father’s condition.

"Missy, I’m not joking. The master did suffer severe injuries and is imprisoned in the forbidden area," Sister Wu said with a faint smile. "As his daughter, shouldn’t you visit and care for your father? Hiding outside, what does that amount to? Come back with me nicely, and you’ll still be the Missy of Tianqing Manor."

Leng Jing shook her head forcefully, "I won’t go back, you won’t deceive me!"

"All right then. Since it is like this, I’ll have to play the villain. Missy, I know you are kind-hearted, so—"

With a nefarious smile, Sister Wu held her long sword, "So I’ll use the passengers on this ship to threaten you! If you don’t leave, I’ll kill them one by one, let them die for you!"

"You—"

Leng Jing’s cheeks paled with anger, her delicate body trembling.

The person in charge of the passenger ship had been advised by Monkey Lord to avoid this matter.

But upon hearing the woman’s threatening words, fearing she would indeed kill the people on the ship and affect the sacrificial plans, the person in charge hurriedly shouted, "Missy, please go, don’t bring harm to us, please leave quickly!"

The other people on the ship, who had initially dared not speak up, began shouting along with the person in charge, urging Leng Jing to leave quickly.

Among them was Zheng, the guild leader.

The higher one’s cultivation, the more fearful they were of such power.

A Heaven Desolation Boundary expert could kill them as easily as if they were chicks.

Jiang Shouzhong wasn’t too distressed by the situation. After all, no one wanted to lose their life for a stranger, and it was normal for people to try to drive her away.

Leng Jing was somewhat at a loss, her lips bitten white, almost oozing blood.

Sister Wu sneered, "You don’t believe me, huh."

Sweeping her cold gaze over the people on the deck, Sister Wu pointed her long sword at the most dashing and noticeable, Jiang Shouzhong, "Missy, I’ll start by killing one to show you, so you don’t think I’m all bark and no bite."

Jiang Shouzhong was dumbfounded, his entire body numb.

You’ve got to be fucking kidding me!

There are at least a dozen people here, I’m standing all the way over here, and you still have to come after me first!

Could it be... I have something shiny on me?

Chu Qi shouted angrily, "I am an officer of Qingzhou’s Liushan Division, you can’t just kill people at will—"

However, the woman had already rushed forward with her sword.

The guild leader Zheng, who had been standing next to Jiang Shouzhong, quickly sidestepped in panic, afraid of the repercussions touching him.

"Stop!"

Leng Jing hastily called out, "I’ll go with you!"

Sister Wu’s lips curled into a smug sneer, but she didn’t stop moving; in fact, her speed increased rather than slowed.

However, she sheathed her long sword and instead extended her fingers like claws, exuding sharpness, planning to grab Jiang Shouzhong as a hostage to prevent that girl from changing her mind and causing trouble along the way.

Suddenly, a strong sense of crisis welled up in her heart.

Sister Wu’s expression changed, and she decisively retreated.

In the blink of an eye, a surge of blood-colored energy, accompanied by a fierce and unmatched blade light, burst forth. Like a torrential flood, it engulfed the woman’s figure completely, creating a whirlpool of blood.

Jiang Shouzhong drew the Seven Kills Blade!

When he possessed only one Great Profound Sect Master Body, he had already wielded the Seven Kills Blade with formidable power, delivering a fatal blow when killing Qingzhou’s Heaven Desolation Boundary cultivator Black Grape Qing’er.

Now, with three Great Grandmaster Bodies, the might of the Seven Kills Blade climbed to a new level.

Sister Wu hadn’t anticipated that the person she was preparing to coerce was a hidden master.

While retreating, she hurriedly swung her sword to block.

Pfft!

Sister Wu spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and staggered back several steps.

Before she could regain her composure, a slender streak of light suddenly broke through the air; it was an incomparably sharp flying sword.

Was the opponent a Heaven Desolation Boundary expert!?

The woman’s pupils contracted in shock, and as terror took over, she rapidly dodged to the side, but her cheek was still pierced, leaving behind a string of blood beads and a deep gash.

At this moment, Jiang Shouzhong had already closed in on her with "Chasing Wind Steps" and unleashed the "Eight Desolations Sky Burning Fist." With each punch hitting the woman’s body, by the time the eighth punch landed, the woman let out a muffled grunt, and her clothes burst open, tattered like a beggar’s, exposing large swathes of skin.

Sister Wu spat out another mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of her internal organs and was sent flying backward, collapsing to the ground, unable to stand.

At this sight, everyone was stunned.

No one had expected the seemingly amiable Jiang Shouzhong to possess such terrifying cultivation.

Zheng, the leader, had the expression of someone who had seen a ghost.

This guy was supposed to have the cultivation of a first-class martial artist, wasn’t he? How did he reach the Heaven Desolation Boundary all of a sudden? Was he a high-level cultivator concealing his true strength?

Zheng, the leader, was sweating bullets.

The young girl Leng Jing also had her mouth wide open in disbelief.

Jiang Shouzhong approached Sister Wu, about to deliver the finishing blow, when suddenly a purple light streaked by. Sensing danger, Jiang Shouzhong swiftly dodged, and unexpectedly, a chair appeared in front of Sister Wu.

Swish!

Before everyone’s eyes, everything blurred.

But then, they saw a middle-aged man dressed in a white shirt, with a refined appearance, sitting nonchalantly on the chair, holding a folding fan in his hand, and exuding an unspeakable elegance and ease, much like an immortal.

"Elder Three?"

Seeing the middle-aged man, Leng Jing’s face changed instantly.

Elder Three glanced at the seriously injured Sister Wu on the ground, lifted his head to look at Jiang Shouzhong, and a faint smile appeared on his face. "Boy, your cultivation certainly hasn’t reached the Heaven Desolation Boundary, but you can use a flying sword. Why is that?"

Jiang Shouzhong said coldly, "Why should I tell you?"

Elder Three closed his folding fan and said lightly, "Because I have just broken through to Sanctum Ascension, because I can crush you with one foot, and because I’m willing to be merciful and leave you alive... That is, after crippling your cultivation."

"Elder Three, why have you betrayed father too!"

Tears welled up in Leng Jing’s eyes.

Elder Three tapped his palm gently with the folding fan, smiling, "Men die for wealth, and birds die for food. Everyone should pursue something in life, should they not? It’s alright if you don’t understand, you’re still young. Once I take you to Tianqing Manor, you’ll grow up; after all, becoming a woman means becoming mature."

Elder Three looked at Jiang Shouzhong, "So, what about you, kid? Have you thought it over? Will you tell me the cultivation technique you practice and scrape by with your life, or... should I break a few of your bones and force you to say it?"

"I think you should worry about yourself," Jiang Shouzhong said with a slight smile, sensing Mengniang’s aura approaching.

Elder Three laughed silently, "I like that you’ve got a backbone. It’s normal for a young person to be spirited. Well, since that’s the case, I only need to—"

Before Elder Three could finish speaking, his expression drastically changed.

He didn’t get a chance to stand up before a red figure streaked past.

Before the crowd could grasp what had happened, Elder Three, along with his chair, was smashed to pieces on the ground.

Jiang Shouzhong thought to himself, "Mengniang has finally broken her own rules, deciding not to stand by idly. Well, this is a good sign."
