Volume 2 Chapter 19 / Chapter 106: Senior Brother, Will Still Take Action.
The white light that hit Yao Yuanhua's neck was not a sword shadow or a blade light but the result of Zhuang Hu consuming months of his true essence to invoke the "Thunder Calling Bell," a treasure that summoned the "Heaven-Cutting Thunder."
As the lightning burst, the window where Yao Yuanhua was instantly exploded into chaos, with wood debris and dust scattering everywhere. The tourists passing below instinctively looked up.
Although due to the smoke and dust, Zhuang Hu, standing on the roof across the street, couldn't see Yao Yuanhua's current situation, he could ensure that his "Heaven-Cutting Thunder" had neither been blocked nor dodged.
He traded three months of his true essence for the most powerful attack in his learned spells.
This "Heaven-Cutting Thunder" could knock out half a front tooth even from a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Yao Yuanhua, a Core Formation stage cultivator, after taking a sword from Pei Lengxue and now this thunder technique, even if his vitality was tenacious enough to hold on, he would no longer pose a threat.
In an instant, this was what Zhuang Hu thought.
After standing on the roof for two seconds, he stared at the scene for two more seconds before preparing to leave.
However...
It was because of these unnecessary two glances that he missed the opportunity to leave.
Just as Zhuang Hu turned around, he suddenly felt a chill rising on his back. His pupils instantly shrank, and he immediately infused spiritual power into the two fire-type talismans hidden in his sleeves.
At the same time, he quickly turned his body, crossing his hands to protect his chest.
Bang—
With a loud explosion, hundreds of roof tiles in the surrounding area were blown away by a gust of wind.
A blood-stained fist heavily collided with the crossed arms of Zhuang Hu.
Zhuang Hu clenched his teeth, using all his strength to block the punch. At the same time, he widened his eyes, looking at the person swinging the fist toward him.
Without a doubt, this person was Yao Yuanhua.
But his current appearance... The skin on his entire face looked like wrinkled cloth, almost losing its human form.
"Tsk—"
Zhuang Hu sensed that something was wrong. The cost of blocking a punch from him was that both his hands and arms were now broken and unable to move.
If his two fire-type talismans hidden in his sleeves hadn't exploded before the second punch from this person, he would probably have to take this punch directly with his face. A Daoist cultivator like him, how could he possibly take a punch from a martial cultivator?
Zhuang Hu could only pray now that the two fire-type talismans would explode sooner, creating a shockwave to blow himself and this martial cultivator apart. But it seemed that Yao Yuanhua's fist was faster.
Seeing Zhuang Hu unable to block it, a trace of a smile appeared on Yao Yuanhua's terrifyingly wrinkled face, and he burst into laughter, "Haha!"
Boom! Right when his right fist was about five inches away from Zhuang Hu's face.
A white light flashed.
Ding! A sword collided with his right fist.
The iron and flesh clashed, sparking off flames.
Ye Anping arrived at Zhuang Hu's side, lifting his sword to slow down the speed of the punch. At the same time, he grabbed Zhuang Hu's collar with his left hand, pulling him away from Yao Yuanhua's punch trajectory.
Boom! Yao Yuanhua's right fist pushed away Ye Anping's sword, almost brushing past Zhuang Hu's face.
Turning his head towards Ye Anping, Yao Yuanhua paused for a moment when he saw the clothes on Ye Anping. Only then did he realize that both of these individuals were cultivators from the Profound Star Sect.
"Profound Star Sect?"
Ye Anping returned a smile, then shouted to Zhuang Hu, "Talismans!"
Zhuang Hu snapped back to reality and immediately activated the two fire-type talismans hidden in his sleeves.
Instantly, a massive fireball appeared between them and Yao Yuanhua.
The tremendous impact and heat wave pushed the two sides in opposite directions.
Ye Anping, well-prepared, quickly hid behind Zhuang Hu. Although his eyebrows were singed by the fire talismans, he seized the opportunity to break away with Zhuang Hu.
At the same time, Yao Yuanhua was blown off the roof by the shockwave of the fire talismans, landing on the eaves of another building and rolling twice before falling to the central street in front of the Drunk Dragon Pavilion.
"Hiss—"
Yao Yuanhua gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and took a while to get up from the ground.
After scanning the surroundings, he suddenly heard some puzzled voices from the crowd:
"Demonic Cultivator?!"
"Why would there be a Demonic Cultivator in the Chi Dragon Mansion?!"
"And a Core Formation Demonic Cultivator at that?"
Listening to these comments, Yao Yuanhua finally realized that he, with his protective barrier pierced, couldn't conceal the demonic aura inside him. Anyone who saw him could easily identify him as a Demonic Cultivator.
This meant big trouble.
The transaction between Li Feng and the Heavenly Demon Sect had been a secret for everyone until now. But if, a few days before the Chi Dragon Grand Conference, a Core Formation Demonic Cultivator suddenly appeared in the Chi Dragon Mansion, it would be a huge problem for everyone involved, especially for Li Feng.
He swallowed hard, looking at the mostly Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment cultivators on the street, feeling a bit trapped.
At this moment, more than ten Foundation Establishment stage Chi Dragon Mansion guards rushed over, surrounding him in the middle.
Seeing these guards, Yao Yuanhua immediately felt the situation was not good.
His injuries were still not healed, and his whole body was bleeding. It was impossible to confront these guards directly.
Yao Yuanhua immediately prepared to use his own true essence, wanting to use escape techniques to flee into the mountains, first sealing his "protective barrier" to buy some time for self-recovery.
Seeing him as a Demonic Cultivator, every guard was surprised, but none of them froze. They immediately took out a golden chain from their waists.
Rattle—
The chains in the hands of the guards seemed like green snakes, rapidly shooting towards Yao Yuanhua.
Yao Yuanhua hadn't even had the chance to use his escape techniques when he was bound by the iron chains held by the mansion guards, kneeling down, unable to move. He gritted his teeth, attempting to break free.
"Yahhh!"
However, it was in vain. Every time he struggled to break free from one chain, the guards immediately replaced it with a new one, as if their chains were endless. Sensing that this person wouldn't surrender, the leading guard hesitated for a moment before giving the order:
"This person's cultivation is too high; we might not be able to capture him alive!! Everyone, ignite the fire!"
"Yes!"
More than ten Chi Dragon Mansion guards shouted, simultaneously pointing their fingers like swords, sending their spiritual energy into the iron chains in their hands. In an instant, a spiritual light burst over the Chi Dragon Mansion, making the night turn into day.
Yao Yuanhua, entangled in the chains, was instantly engulfed in flames, and soon there was no movement from him.
_ _ _ _ _ _
After a while, two flying swords flew from the direction of the Chi Dragon Mansion.
Feng Yudie and Xiao Yunluo had just been resting in the courtyard arranged for them, and as a host, Li Qianjin had also brought them a lot of local pastries specialty to share together, only to suddenly hear such a big commotion from the outside.
Li Qianjin asked the maid to inform Li Feng, but the maid said that he was meditating in solitude, so she had to go there herself.
Since she was currently blind and unable to control the flying sword, she was sitting in Feng Yudie's arms, carried by her. The guards standing by Yao Yuanhua's body saw their young lady approaching and hurriedly stepped forward to salute:
"Miss!"
Seeing this, Feng Yudie quickly grabbed her hand and interrupted, "Junior Sister Li, let me handle this. The storage bag looks a bit unclean."
"Don't worry." Feng Yudie patted her chest, grinning, "I have a special technique for checking bags."
Xiao Yunluo looked at her strangely and said, "If you're afraid the storage bag has traps, just use your spiritual sense to scan it."
"What if there's something that interferes with spiritual sense?"
"What would you do then?"
Feng Yudie smiled and then made a show of pointing her fingers like a sword, directing her gaze towards Xiaotian floating above her head. In response to her gaze, Xiaotian rolled its eyes at her but reluctantly complied. After all, it was indeed the best-suited for this task, and it wasn't afraid of any poison or restrictions.
Xiaotian flew directly to Yao Yuanhua's storage bag, squeezed its head through the opening, and then turned left and right.
When it withdrew its head from Yao Yuanhua's storage bag, the first thing it did was take a sharp breath.
[Ugh, Yudie, this is a demonic cultivator from the Heavenly Demon Sect. The storage bag is fine; you can handle it yourself,] Xiaotian conveyed.
'Heavenly Demon Sect?'
Hearing Xiaotian's voice, Feng Yudie couldn't help but widen her eyes.
Seeing this, Feng Yudie quickly emptied Yao Yuanhua's storage bag, pouring out all the spirit stones, pills, books, and herbs onto the ground.
"Someone!"
Two guards quickly stepped forward and bowed, "Yes, Miss, what are your orders?"
"Block the southeast, northwest, and southwest areas of the Chi Dragon Mansion. Summon all the guards to search the vicinity for any other demonic cultivators. Bring out all the guards who have been on duty at the gate in the past month, let them come and identify one by one. I want to know when and how this demonic cultivator sneaked into the Chi Dragon Mansion. The Chi Dragon Conference is just half a month away, and you let a Core Formation-stage demonic cultivator slip in unnoticed?!"
The guards standing by were all ashamed, lowering their heads without daring to speak.
At this moment, a guard brought two women from the Drunk Dragon Pavilion.
"Miss!"
"These two courtesans from the Drunk Dragon Pavilion said they seemed to have something to tell you."
The guards brought over were the woman who had greeted Pei Lengxue earlier and another who had almost been picked by Yao Yuanhua.
The two women brought over by the guards were the one who had greeted Pei Lengxue downstairs, and the one who had been harassed by Yao Yuanhua, and they came to testify about what had happened.
The two walked up to Li Qianjin, cupped their hands, and then told her what had just happened from beginning to end...
