On the way back to the Jiang house, Jiang Li's face was gloomy, filled with dissatisfaction. He had never felt so humiliated since he was a child. Intimidated by a woman, there was nothing he could do against her for the time being.
Damn it!
The more Jiang Li thought about it, the angrier he became. Just at that moment, a ball rolled to his feet. He looked up and saw a delicate little girl running towards him, reaching out to pick up the ball.
"Um? Does this young master allow you to take it?" Jiang Li stepped on the ball, frowning as he spoke coldly to the little girl.
The little girl froze, terrified and at a loss. She mustered the courage to timidly point at the ball, saying, "Big brother, this is my ball... Can you give it back to me?"
"Your ball? Humph! Do you know that your ball soiled my shoes?" Jiang Li's voice was fierce as he stomped on the ball and then mercilessly slapped the girl across the face.
She flew backwards several meters, her face red and swollen, her mouth and nose bleeding. She lay on the ground, crying and whimpering, "Ooooh... mother... mother..."
Still furious, Jiang Li strode towards the little girl. His guards showed ridicule and flattery on their faces.
"Young master is skilled! His cultivation must have improved greatly!" "Of course, he is the talented young master of the Jiang family!" "The best in Nanli City, no, the entire world!"
The onlookers were aggrieved and couldn't bear to watch. Though they clenched their fists tightly, there was nothing they could do.
It's hard to believe a cultivator would be proud to bully a little girl! Even with his poor cultivation, if the girl isn't treated in time, her life could be in danger!
Jiang Li enjoyed the awe from the crowd and the flattery from his guards. He proudly stood over the girl, his foot raised high to strike again. Seeing this, a girl in green and white clothing gripped the handle of the knife at her waist, ready to intervene, but her companion held her back.
"Su Yi, don't be impulsive. He's Jiang Li from the Jiang family. Even at Nanli College, we can't provoke them. The power behind the Jiang family is immense..."
"Are we just going to watch that scumbag kill the little girl?" Su Yi retorted. "If we, as cultivators, can't save lives and correct wrongs, then what's the point of practicing?"
Her companion was speechless, unable to refute her words. While Su Yi argued with her companion, a woman ran to Jiang Li, knelt before him, and protected the child in her arms, crying and begging, "Master Jiang, the child is ignorant and unintentionally offended you. Please show mercy and let her go!"
Jiang Li frowned and was about to kick the woman away but found her face charming and pretty. With a lewd smile, he bent down and leered at her, "You can ask me to let her go, but it depends on your sincerity~"
"Sincerity...?" the woman murmured, confused. Her family was not wealthy, and she had no money to attract Jiang Li's attention. When Jiang Li whispered something lewd in her ear, her face turned pale.
"Madam, you will do anything for your child, right?"
Jiang Li originally had no interest in married women and looked down on second-hand goods. But thinking of Luo Ruying, whom he had just met, made him restless, and he suddenly wanted to try the taste of a married woman.
The woman stood in despair, not knowing what to do. Ordinary families like hers couldn't resist the Jiang family's power. Seeing her hesitation, Jiang Li grabbed her and tried to drag her away.
At that moment, the child's father, a middle-aged man with shabby clothes and calloused hands, rushed over. Seeing his daughter on the ground, he burst into tears. Seeing Jiang Li dragging his wife, he knelt and begged, "Master Jiang, please let my wife and daughter go! If they did wrong, punish me instead!"
"Go away! Don't disturb my interest! I'll return her when I'm done!" Jiang Li kicked the man away and forced the woman to leave.
Su Yi couldn't stand it any longer. She drew her long sword and was about to intervene when a ghostly figure swiftly moved past Jiang Li's guards.
What just happened?
The guards looked confused, and in the next second, their bodies burst apart, cut into pieces. Blood spurted out, raining down. Everyone was stunned, not knowing what had happened. In just a moment, dozens of Jiang Li's guards were killed!
"Ahhh! Murder!" The onlookers were terrified and ran away. Su Yi and others were also dumbfounded. When they turned around, they saw a figure with a bamboo hat and a winding snake sword standing in the blood rain.
This person is so strong!
Their first reaction was deep fear. They couldn't even see this person's movements. The Heaven-Swallowing Divine Python held the fairy sword and slowly walked towards Jiang Li. Jiang Li, terrified, fell to the ground and shouted, "Mr. Zhao! Help me!"
Zhao Zhuohao jumped out, standing in front of Jiang Li. He stared at the mysterious woman with a frightened expression, saying, "Who are you?! Why did you attack my Jiang family?"
Cold sweat streamed down his forehead as he fixed his eyes on the Heaven-Swallowing Divine Python. He felt unprecedented fear, even greater than what Luo Ruying had instilled in him earlier. He had been watching Jiang Li, but he didn't see this person's actions. Before he could react, everyone was dead under her sword. This level of power meant the other party's cultivation was far superior to his own, despite him being an Immortal Realm cultivator and one of the best in Nanzhou.
The Heaven-Swallowing Divine Python, uninterested in conversation, fixed her cold snake eyes on Zhao Zhuohao and declared, "My lord has ordered: you must die!"
