Chapter 534: Who Is More Ruthless?

tivators, we dare not probe too deeply. However, based on Su Han's words at the birthday banquet, as well as our Donghai’s overall judgment, Qin Shaoyang was suddenly transferred to Tianshan in the no...Chapter 534: Who Is More Ruthless (Second Update, Voting for Monthly Ticket!)

Zhao Yanzi, who was crying with tear-streaked face, saw the dagger in Little White's mouth and froze. Then she picked up the large ice block in Hao Ren’s hand to examine the dagger inside carefully.

Several meters behind Hao Ren, Duan Yao looked shocked and at a loss for what to do next.

Her sword skills and cultivation level were slightly higher than Zhao Yanzi's, but her experience in the江湖 (martial arts world) was no better than Zhao Yanzi’s.

If she had been an experienced cultivator, upon seeing this situation, she would have abandoned her magic treasure and fled for her life. However, she still stood there dumbfoundedly watching Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi.

I'm not dead… Upon realizing this key point, Zhao Yanzi looked down at her chest to find that even her clothes were intact. She suddenly got up fiercely glaring at Duan Yao, "Today if you don't kill me, your family name is not Duan, right"

Duan Yao nervously watched her and involuntarily took a step back.

She sensed that despite Zhao Yanzi’s lower cultivation level, she was no easy target. She dashed out of the valley with all her might.

"Little White," Zhao Yanzi issued an order.

Little White let out a low growl and swiftly shot out several streaks of colored light to intercept Duan Yao’s path.

Originally, Duan Yao did not think much of the second-stage snow lion, but seeing it could already display ice and fire dual-element techniques made her feel terrified.

The Snow Lions raised by the Heavenly Mountain Sect would only start using ice-element magic when they reached the fourth stage. This second-stage Snow Lion, capable of launching ice-element attacks, had far surpassed a normal one in strength.

She could never have imagined that the spirit pills and elixirs Little White consumed were more than all the snow lions in Heavenly Mountain Sect's rear mountain combined.

"Still want to run Not so easy," Zhao Yanzi, seeing her body was unharmed despite being hit by an ice block on her chest which hurt tremendously, instantly freed herself from Hao Ren’s arms and glared fiercely at Duan Yao.

She wanted to charge forward and slash Duan Yao but feared she might still have powerful magic treasures left. Therefore, she remained cautiously beside Hao Ren.

"If you're going to kill me, just do it; if you're going to disfigure me, go ahead," Duan Yao said palely, gritting her teeth.

After spitting out a mouthful of essence blood and activating the dagger, she didn't expect that even this wouldn't be enough for Zhao Yanzi. Now, with both qi and blood depleted in her body, she could barely stand, let alone run away.

"Who said they're going to kill you" Zhao Yanzi glared at her. "I'm planning on slashing your face fifty or sixty times. Hmph! You dared stab me with a dagger I'll also pour some medicine on you so that you can never recover."

Duan Yao had bravely said the words, but she was still scared in her heart. Hearing Zhao Yanzi say she would disfigure her face and leave her as an ugly monster forever made Duan Yao's face turn even paler; she stared at Zhao Yanzi in shock.

In a world of cultivation where the weak are preyed upon, Duan Yao had heard about such cruel matters before. She was prepared for whatever might happen since she ended up in Zhao Yanzi’s hands anyway, so it didn't matter if she tried to be strong or not.

But not being killed but rather disfigured and left as an ugly monster forever terrified Duan Yao from the bottom of her heart. She had never been killed before, but she had seen what became of those who failed in their secret practice of demon cultivation techniques—each one was hideously ugly.

"Hey..." After hearing Zhao Yanzi’s words, Hao Ren looked worriedly at Zhao Yanzi.

Zhao Yanzi was fierce enough as it was, but if she became malicious, that wouldn't be good.

"I'm just scaring her," Zhao Yanzi said softly.

These words were learned from TV shows. She used them to scare Duan Yao, and it seemed to work pretty well so far.

Duan Yao had made two vicious attempts to stab at her vital points with the dagger under her control, and Zhao Yanzi felt she must teach Duan Yao a lesson about just how dangerous she was.

But Duan Yao grew up in the care of several core disciples from the sect; as the only daughter of the Tian Shan Sect's master, her character was both arrogant and spoiled, but still, she wasn't very brave like Zhao Yanzi.

"Hmph! If you don’t want your face slashed, hand over those grade five spirit herbs," Zhao Yanzi shouted at her.

Duan Yao glared angrily at Zhao Yanzi and took the storage bag at her waist to retrieve sixteen rolls of huilong grass from it.

"Give them all to me," Zhao Yanzi held out her hand.

Duan Yao gritted her teeth and put the Hui Long Cao back into her storage bag, then threw it to Zhao Yanzi.

Zhao Yanzi took the storage bag, weighed it in her hand, and was quite satisfied—she felt like a professional robber.

"I've given you what you wanted. We're even now," Duan Yao said.

"Who says so I didn't say I would let you off," Zhao Yanzi said as she put the storage bag back on her waist.

Ha Ren turned to look at her, thinking that Zhao Yanzi was quite shameless. Compared with Duan Yao, she seemed more experienced.

"You...!" Duan Yao trembled all over in anger.

"Ancestor, save me," Duan Yao suddenly shouted into the valley out of desperation.

She had heard that the ancestor of Piaomiao Peak also had a snow lion and might have some connection to the Tian Shan Sect. The Tian Shan Sect was good at raising snow lions and once gave them as mounts to powerful Nascent Soul Ancestors in order to establish a good relationship.

Duan Yao hoped that by mentioning the name of the Tian Shan Sect, her ancestor would directly reward her with a Ding Yan Dan.

However, there was still no sound from within the valley.

Pitter-patter

Suddenly, Duan Yao started to run away.

"Little White!" Zhao Yanzi called out again.

Little White raised its head and butted straight into Duan Yao's belly. Duan Yao stumbled back two steps, holding her stomach with both hands as she sat down on the ground.

As far as Little White was concerned, Duan Yao was an enemy because it knew that Duan Yao wanted to hurt Zhao Yanzi, and Little White had no affection for humans.

Zhao Yanzi took the initiative to pounce over and picked up her Purple-Qing Treasure Sword, pretending to slash it towards Duan Yao's face.

However, she forgot that no matter what, Duan Yao was still a cultivator at the Condensation stage, who couldn't defeat Xiaobai but was more than capable of dealing with Zhao Yanzi, a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Suddenly, Duan Yao's wrist moved flexibly and she snatched Zhao Yanzi's Purple-Qing Treasure Sword out of her hand. Then, she swiftly turned it around to point the blade towards Zhao Yanzi's throat.

Zhao Yanzi didn't expect such a turn of events; her face turned pale with fright as she hurriedly pulled out something from her pocket to block herself. However, there was nothing in her pocket but a bottle of white soy milk that she had brought along from the canteen and hadn't consumed.

Due to the hot weather, Zhao Yanzi had eaten lunch at Donghai University's canteen and kept this small bottle of soy milk in her pocket for drinking whenever she was thirsty.

At this moment, as she suddenly pulled it out, Duan Yao, who was lying beneath her, thought that it must be some formidable magical treasure. She immediately thrust her sword at the bottle.

Splash...

The soy milk spilled all over Duan Yao's face when the bottle burst.

"Ah!"

Duan Yao suddenly screamed and covered her face, tossing the Purple-Qing Treasure Sword to the side. She then quickly got up and dashed out of the valley.

Xiaobai stood in place without receiving Zhao Yanzi's or Hao Ren's command to go after Duan Yao.

Zhao Yanzi sat dumbfounded on the ground, completely bewildered by what had just happened. This Duan Yao actually threw away even the Purple-Qing Treasure Sword she had reclaimed...

Wa-yah...

Beyond the valley, a Foundation Establishment stage disciple from the Seven-star Sect who was patrolling the mountains was knocked unconscious. Riding on the flying sword she had seized, Duan Yao rapidly flew in the direction of the Sixth Layer of Heaven.

"City Gate Clan, I'll remember you guys! You can just wait for your clan to be obliterated!" A green light flashed beneath her feet as Duan Yao vanished into the distance.," Su Han said calmly.“Uh...” Hao Ren suddenly felt a tightness in his chest."Run with me." Su Han tapped Hao Ren’s back with her stick and called out to him.The blow wasn’t strong, but the stick was...
