"Roma… What a lovely name. Roma means 'exceedingly beautiful and with enchanting eyes.' It truly fits you. Kudos to whoever named you that,"
Raed said, continuing to praise Roma, which made her extremely embarrassed. But the little girl seemed protective of her mistress.
"Hmph… Are you flirting with my lady? Do you think that because you're very handsome, she'll fall for you? Hmph, you're just dreaming,"
The girl's words only intensified the awkwardness.
"Meng Meng, stop. Young Master Raed's eyes are sincere; there are no desires in them. He's complimenting from the heart, so don't embarrass him. Thank you, young master. Actually, my grandfather gave me this name and said the same thing, mentioning it's an abbreviation of another name,"
Roma tried to ease the tension with a sweet smile, but what was truly frightening were those eyes.
"Hmm, it seems that the man driving your carriage has been killed,"
Raed looked at the carriage and tried to change the subject, but he was shocked when he discovered the corpse.
"Ah, I forgot. We are being pursued. We need to leave quickly. Excuse me, young master. If fate allows, we will meet again in the future. Goodbye,"
Roma said and quickly left with Meng Meng in her hand.Raed was stunned.
"It seems someone wants to kill this beauty. I must repay her for saving me. I'll follow her quietly until she reaches her destination and protect her in the shadows."
Raed followed the carriage from a distance, about nine hundred meters within his spiritual sense range, so they wouldn't think he was a spy.
The carriage continued at high speed, but a group of people awaited them and attacked the carriage.
However, it seemed Roma sensed them and took Meng Meng out of the carriage.Meng Meng was very scared and cried out:
"Lady, leave me and go quickly. Don't let those damned people catch you!"
Roma looked calmly at the fierce-looking group. There were twenty people wearing the same blue attire, indicating they were from the same group.
All were at the ninth level of Qi Refinement, except for two at the half-step stage and one at the first level of Blood Condensation.
"Kekekeke… Do you think you can escape from us? You must come back with us obediently, or I will kill this girl, rape you, and then bring you back,"
The leader sneered with a menacing smile.
"It seems your Yun family is very determined. Although there is a risk of the righteous sects finding out, they continued to slaughter my family and capture me. It seems you have some supporters, you guys,"
Roma said calmly while sighing inwardly for Meng Meng, the little girl who was involved in this without reason.
"Stop talking nonsense. You must be a medicine pill obediently, or you will be a medicine pill by force. There is no third option."
"Damn you. Do you think I will surrender to you? I'd rather die fighting,"
Roma said coldly and sent a message through spiritual signals to Meng Meng to escape quickly.
Roma manifested a green sword of spiritual energy, appearing to be a wooden fighting spirit.
Roma was actually at the half-step Blood Condensation stage.Roma attacked quickly, but the leader anticipated it.
Someone grabbed Meng Meng and blocked Roma's attack. She was thrown backward, spitting blood.
"Although your body is legendary, you can't fight well,"
The leader said with a disgusting smile. Roma looked at Meng Meng with tears in her eyes and said:
"Meng Meng, I'm sorry. I've dragged you into this too."
Then she turned to the leader and placed the sword on her neck, saying:
"I'll go with you if you leave Meng Meng alone, or I will kill myself."
"Hahaha, if you had done this from the start, your family wouldn't have died,"
The leader said with a smile, causing tears to fall from her beautiful eyes.
He approached Roma slowly and suddenly grabbed the sword from her hand, disarmed her, slapped her in the face, and blocked her energy pathways, saying:
"Hmph… A girl like you would dare to negotiate with me. Kill this child,"
The leader said and turned to reach for Roma, who was lying on the ground.
But suddenly, he felt a powerful wind coming from behind. He kicked backward and was hit by a terrifying punch, sending him flying.
"What? Who are you?"
Everyone was stunned when they saw a fifteen-year-old holding a head in his hand, maintaining a punching stance amidst the dust from the collision.
The head in his hand was that of the man who was about to kill Meng Meng moments ago.
Raed looked at Roma lying on the ground, and she looked back at him with tears of joy in her eyes.
When Raed saw those beautiful eyes crying, he went mad. A horrifying killing intent surged from him, causing everyone to kneel. His right eye turned black and gray again, and his other eye nearly transformed.
The more his eyes transformed, the stronger his killing intent became, and Raed became more unconscious.
Dark clouds appeared across the entire blue world, making the powerful beings of the world frightened that the disaster was coming early.
Raed almost lost consciousness and would no longer be himself, but he heard a very beautiful voice calling him:
"Raed, thank you,"
Upon hearing this voice and looking at Roma and her eyes, he calmed down again, and his eyes returned to normal, dispersing the clouds.Roma was astonished.
She knew this was because of Raed, but she didn't ask. She got up and threw herself into his arms, crying and continuously saying,
"Thank you."
"Support me with your life energy. I will kill them all for you."
Raed placed his hand on her back, embraced her, and unsealed her, whispering in her ear. This made her blush deeply. He then let go and nodded.
She hurriedly went towards Meng Meng shyly, making Raed laugh.
Raed looked at the people kneeling on the ground and stood up slowly, but he didn't wait. He attacked each one directly with incredible speed.
Each person who received a punch turned into a mist of blood instantly, leaving Roma astonished.
"What kind of power is this?"
Raed eliminated everyone in a matter of seconds. He had become stronger due to the battles he fought with the old man.
Although he was still at the fifth level, the destructive dominance intent had increased in strength.
The leader who was hit by Raed's punch rose from the rubble, but he was stunned, leaving Roma astonished as well because the arm that blocked Raed's punch was shattered and no longer existed.
"Who are you? Don't you know who my father is?"
The leader said coldly with a condescending look, but the response made him extremely angry and made Roma and Meng Meng unable to suppress their laughter.
"Didn't your mother raise you? Don't blame me. I've never seen your mother before."
Raed said innocently, making the Yun family leader vomit blood. He looked coldly at Raed and said with pride:
"My father is Yun Shang, the head of the Yun family. Do you still dare to mock?"
"If so, am I your grandfather or what? Why are you telling me all this? I don't know this Yun family,"
Raed said, making the leader extremely angry and vomit blood again.
But this time, Raed didn't wait for him to speak.
He gestured to Roma, who nodded, and a large tree appeared behind her, providing Raed with her energy through the ground.
"Oh… Your fighting spirit is the Immortal Tree of Life. What a talent!"
Raed was shocked, and Roma was also shocked because no one knew about this tree, not even she did.
But it seemed Raed knew it.Raed's level ascended to the seventh stage of Qi Refinement and then stabilized.
"It seems this is your limit for now, but it's enough."
Raed said and threw a punch, instantly killing the leader.
He summoned fire to burn the corpses and then took Roma and Meng Meng's hands and quickly left, finding a cave in a remote location.
