The man coughed up blood as Mia stared at Kai. She wasn't feeling any pressure on her body but she could sense Kai's pressure either the surroundings. She couldn't explain how he was doing that but she could only stare at him.
'Who is he and why is he helping me?' She wondered why Kai was helping her even though they had only known each other for a day.
The rest of the Chuchu family gathered at one place and Kai got a good look at the ancestor. He was also struggling because of his aura as he stared at Kai with terror.
"AHH, why are attacking my family without saying anything? At least explain that much!" The man screamed as the pressure suddenly vanished.
"I didn't have any problem with you. In fact, I didn't even know you existed. But then, Mia here told me about her experience with your family." Kai said as he pointed at Mia
"You! How is it possible that your face has no scars?! I carved them myself!" A fat young child spoke in astonishment but he soon covered his mouth with a frightened squeal.
'Oh, you foolish brat. Why did I let him do these things and then let him off with such a nonexistent punishment?' The head of the Chuchu family cursed himself as he waited in enticement for Kai to attack them again. But nothing happened.
Truth be told, he himself had thought that Mia was too beautiful. In fact, he wanted her as a concubine but due to his age, he wasn't able to do so.
So as the next better option, he had wanted her to become a concubine to his son. However, Mia had always rejected his son. He was angry because of this and he, himself, had given that dagger to his son so that he could make her his own.
Unfortunately, the Blue Moon Sect had managed to save this girl and they had taken her away to their sect. And because his own son was at fault, he wasn't able to do anything to get Mia back.
"You little bitch. You came back here to get revenge, didn't you? And let me guess, you sold your body to this fake bastard to get your revenge. I wil-" The wife of the Chuchu family's head was cursing at Mia when she suddenly stopped midsentence.
Kai glared at her like a God delivering justice and moved at an unexpected pace and moved towards the wife.
The next second, he came into focus and he was holding a tongue in his hand. Suddenly, the wife screamed at the top of her lungs as blood started to drip from her mouth. She fell on the ground with her hands wrapped around her mouth.
The rest of the family stared at Kai in horror as they looked at the family head's wife with dread. Who knows, they might be next?
"Kneel down to her." Kai said as he pointed at Mia. The Chuchu family was reluctant to move but Kai's aura bore down on them again.
One by one, they touched the floor with their knees and they knelt to Mia. The family head and the ancestor were still standing but when Kai increased the pressure, they too fell down to their knees.
They stared at Mia for a moment before the ancestor and family head thought about taking one last chance to save themselves.
They somehow stood up again and took out their swords and moved towards Mia before anyone could say anything.
But as soon as they reached in front of Mia, blood started to pour out from their orifices. They coughed a lot of blood and fell down as Kai laughed.
"You seriously thought that you could attack her. It was quite the entertainment to watch you get fake hope when you stood up. Too bad that I had deliberately decreased the pressure over you two." Kai laughed as the ancestor and family head clutched at their throats and gasped as they couldn't breathe.
"Mia, remember, revenge is a drug." Kai said as he took out a sword and handed it to Mia.
"But as long as you keep yourself under control, it's the most dangerous weapon besides hate." Mia replied as she firmly grabbed the sword and pierced the heart of the family head.
The light left his eyes as his body slumped down. Mia quickly removed the sword and pierced the ancestor's heart and killed him.
Both of them had died brutally as their bodies were limp and the Chuchu family howled. Kai stepped towards them and took the young master's chin.
The young master screamed as black tendrils traveled from Kai's hands and spread around his body.
The young master's body started sizzling as he was burned by the tendrils. After he was dead, Kai threw his body on the floor and killed the rest of the members with a snap of his fingers.
"Was that the first time you killed someone?" Kai asked as the dead bodies vanished into thin air.
Mia's hands were trembling a little as she nodded. Kai moved forward and clasped her hands.
"The second time is always easier than the first one." He didn't console her or anything but just told her the truth.
She took a deep breath and her body calmed down a little. Her trembling hands returned to normal after a few minutes as she smiled weakly.
"Can we go to the sect tomorrow?" Mia asked as Kai nodded.
After all, he couldn't teleport them even if he wanted to. His light steps consumed a lot of spiritual energy and he would need some time to restore that energy.
As they gazed outside, they saw the sun vanishing and night was settling in.
"We can sleep here for the night and go to the sect tomorrow." Kai offered as Mia nodded.
She then excused herself and went to the nearest room to sleep.
Kai watched her go with a smile as he sat down and started cultivating.
But little did he know that the day was yet to end.
