Chapter 430 - 234: I Am the Peak of Sword Dao
"You’re pushing your luck! I don’t kill nameless folks, state your name!"
Even Huo Yuandi, a battle-hardened Sword Cultivator, wouldn’t kill indiscriminately; he might end up provoking a noble’s son on a journey, which would only bring trouble upon himself.
"If you’re scared, leave the woman and stay outside the cave. If you’re not, come at me with your sword."
He Kongyue showed no fear and even turned the threat back on Huo Yuandi.
This left Huo Yuandi truly startled; he raised his broadsword, and his sword aura ceased rising.
At this moment, Huo Yuandi was nervously observing the two distinctive individuals. He couldn’t discern any clues from their attire or demeanor.
The pale scholar looked like he had long lingered in the company of flowers, neglecting exercise, with his health already depleted.
As for the burly man with the full beard, he was nothing short of a rarity, even digging his nose and scratching his foot! Could this be the dimwit raised by a major sect?!
Wait! What is that?!
Huo Yuandi only then noticed the central stone surrounded by the two, upon which was a fragrant White Leaf Spirit Ginseng. As someone knowledgeable, he instantly recognized it as exceedingly rare.
No wonder... no wonder these two refused to yield despite knowing their cultivation was inferior; they feared I’d seize the Spirit Ginseng they discovered!
With this item, he could later tear off a leaf to feed to Miss Fu, ensuring she diligently pleases him beneath his pelvis - just thinking about that wild, tempting sensation heated his heart.
"Trying to scare your grandpa? Not happening!"
Huo Yuandi was about to act when suddenly, the alluring woman shouted, and a cloud of colorful mist instantaneously enveloped the back of his head.
Huo Yuandi reacted swiftly, immediately turning back to dispel the mist, and at this critical moment, Miss Fu seized the chance, swiftly flying to You Su’s side, bringing a fragrant breeze along.
You Su hadn’t yet grasped what was happening when he felt a tender body leaning close, charmingly saying:
"Save me, great hero!"
"Miss Fu!"
Miss Fu, only at the Condensed Water Lower Realm in strength, posed no threat to Huo Yuandi.
Huo Yuandi now glared with anger, his broadsword’s aura rising, "I ought to deal with you directly!"
Miss Fu trembled in fright, clutching You Su’s arm tightly, unwilling to let go:
"Blame your own greed! If you hadn’t tried to deceive me into being your captive plaything, would you have shown such patience?!"
Huo Yuandi’s eyes seemed to blaze with fire, turning his sword towards You Su disguised:
"Do you really think that by sticking with them you can defeat me?! And if you win, do you believe these two will spare you?!"
Miss Fu quivered, glancing at the scruffy You Su, gritting her teeth, "I’d rather submit to him than to you!"
"XX!"
Huo Yuandi cursed loudly and then exhaled deeply, smirking wickedly:
"I’ll give you two another chance, get out! I won’t pursue you! After I’m satisfied, I can let you enjoy as well!"
"Don’t believe him!"
Miss Fu was so frantic she was about to cry:
"Great heroes, this Huo Yuandi has already slaughtered several other Loose Cultivators seeking Mr. Chengying’s opportunity in the Spirit Void Mountain Range in recent days! He robs the men of their lives and possessions, and for the women, he ravages before murdering them! This Spirit Void Mountain Range is lawless territory; we Loose Cultivators have no sect or faction; his acts of evil go unnoticed, and there’s nobody to intervene. We must unite! We mustn’t let him continue his rampant behavior!"
Huo Yuandi didn’t move, merely glaring at He Kongyue for his response.
The one who could potentially threaten him was indeed this weak scholar nearing Water Condensation Perfection.
"Mad Sword Sect’s ’Mad’ really means this?" He Kongyue’s voice was icy cold, the first time You Su had seen him so serious, "Your Mad Sword Sect is situated north in the Spirit Void Mountain Range, isolated from the major powers of Zhongyuan Continent. Do you really think the north of Zhongyuan Continent is your sect’s territory?"
Huo Yuandi’s brow furrowed, realizing this scholar’s boldness carried an air of an authoritative figure, inevitably prompting hesitation.
"Who are you?" Huo Yuandi snorted coldly.
"What, not acting so mad now?" He Kongyue sneered.
"No," Huo Yuandi’s eyes flashed with cold light, "because I did say I don’t kill nameless folks. But occasionally... I can make an exception!"
As the words fell, the Sword Qi on his body soared to the sky. Though not fast, each step made the earth shake, even creating cracks wherever his feet tread.
The Feather Transformation Cultivator’s might was truly extraordinary!
Though Huo Yuandi appeared to be a reckless brute, he was no fool; otherwise, he wouldn’t have survived concealing from both his sect and enemies until now.
He knew well that facing these people meant a fight to the death, and any reconciliation was pointless. If they exposed his deeds, he’d find himself in an irreparable catastrophe.
Compared to the risk of mistakenly killing someone potentially influential, the former was a fate he couldn’t accept.
You Su couldn’t stand by as his friend was attacked, but He Kongyue had already positioned himself in front:
"Stay safe!"
He Kongyue unleashed an electric net from his hand. Inside the net, pure white electric snakes rampaged like countless rampant tendrils, surging straight at Huo Yuandi’s fierce sword.
With a single exchange, waves of impact followed, dust continually cascaded from the cave’s ceiling.
As the dust settled, Huo Yuandi stood motionless, while He Kongyue had stepped back a considerable distance, still shielding You Su.
Huo Yuandi narrowed his fierce eyes, "Pure white Profound Qi... You’re from the He Family of Henggao City?!"
He Kongyue’s lips curled in disdain:
