Zhi Yong didn’t bother with the pleading of the man.
He stood tall by the side of the man.
The next thing the man saw was Zhi Yong lifting his leg and stomping hard down onto his face.
Crack.
The man’s head hit the ground and sounds of the skull cracking could be heard.
Then, there was only silence.
Zhi Yong sat down onto the ground and glanced at Xue Cong, Yue Jie and Yue Xin.
They got worried when they saw the wounds he had on him.
"Are you all right?" Xue Cong came up to him and asked.
Yue Jie and Yue Xin frantically tried to look for something to help stop his bleeding.
Zhi Yong gave them his usual smile and sighed.
He pointed at the blood stains in the main hall and said, "Sorry, messy now."
"Stop thinking about that. We need to stop the bleeding!" Xue Cong said, but her heart sank when she saw Zhi Yong’s eyes close in the next moment.
"Zhi Yong!" They shouted in unison.
Outside the main hall, Liu Shi Shi frowned and glanced over at the main hall.
She could only see Xue Cong, Yue Jie, and Yue Xin attending Zhi Yong frantically.
This short moment of lapse in her focus gave the man coming at her an opening.
A dagger came at her neck, aiming at her artery.
She took a step forward while twisting her body.
She dodged the blade of the dagger in the nick of time.
With her being close to the assailant, she used her shoulder and lunged at him.
The impact made the man tumble across the ground.
His accomplices who were standing on both her sides came at her with their weapons.
One of them used his spear and thrust it at her head.
The other used his knife and hacked at her feet.
Liu Shi Shi had no choice but to leap backwards.
Her body turned into a shimmer as she got away from their attacks.
The spear didn’t stop, and it thrust onto the man with the knife instead.
"What are you doing..." The man with the knife shouted but it was too late.
The spear plunged into his shoulder.
"You stupid fool!" The man cursed as he tried to pull out the spear from his shoulder.
Liu Shi Shi didn’t wait and took this opportunity to come at the man with the spear.
She thrust her sword at the man’s neck.
A gust of Qi shot out from the tip of her sword at the man.
The man tried to swing his spear to block her attack but couldn’t, it only made the man on the other end of the spear be in pain and struggle.
Splatter.
Blood spurted out from the man’s neck, and he dropped to the ground in an instant.
Liu Shi Shi turned her focus on the last man.
The man with the knife was trying to get the spear out of his shoulder when he saw a shadow coming towards him.
He lashed out and swung his knife aimlessly in fear.
Liu Shi Shi was waiting for this moment.
After the blade of the knife passed her body, and the arm of the man was close to his body, she gave the man a kick on his arm.
The man stumbled a few steps back and sat onto the ground.
With a thrust of her sword, the man’s neck was cut open, and he dropped to the ground unconscious immediately.
Clap.
Zhu Di began clapping and smirking at Liu Shi Shi.
"Well, there. You are much better than I’ve thought. But playtime is now over."
His expression changed in an instant.
He lunged at Liu Shi Shi and he was so fast that she couldn’t even react when his fist landed on her abdomen.
It flung her into the air and she tumbled across the ground.
She was twenty meters away from the single hit when she stopped tumbling.
Cough.
Blood splattered onto the ground when she tried to get up onto her feet.
The gulf between a martial art fighter and a cultivator was too enormous for her to cross. Even when the opponent is only Qi Concentration Level, the lowest ranked cultivator.
She tried to move but couldn’t.
Lin Xuan Qi’s words came into her mind, and she glanced back at Xue Cong, Yue Jie, and Yue Xin.
She wanted to ask them to run but nothing came out of her mouth.
If only she had a spirit root and was a cultivator, she thought as she glanced into the sky.
It was a clear blue sky just like the day her family was slaughtered.
Liu Shi Shi glanced at Xue Cong, Yue Jie and Yue Xin again and lifted her hand.
Trying to gesture for them to run.
"Oh, this is so touching." Zhu Di taunted Liu Shi Shi.
"This is all on your master, do know that." He stroked his bushy black beard and said, "If he just agreed to Su Chen and Wu Tong’s request, this could have all been avoided.
"Now, look at you.
"So pathetic and helpless."
He smirked and glanced around at the surroundings.
It was a huge mansion, and he thought that maybe his master might be interested in it.
But first, he had to wait for Su Chen and Wu Tong.
The second part of the show was just as important.
He went into the main hall, brought out a chair and sat outside of it, facing the main hall.
Xue Cong, Yue Jie and Yue Xin looked at him warily as he did so.
They knew that they weren’t his match.
When they saw that he just sat outside the main hall, they continued to try and help Zhi Yong.
Yue Xin also tried to render help to Liu Shi Shi.
But Liu Shi Shi was now unconscious, and she didn’t know what to do.
Zhu Di watched everything with amusement as they tried helplessly.
"What took you so long?" Zhu Di said and turned around when he heard some footsteps behind him.
To his surprise, it was someone unfamiliar to him.
"Where are Su Chen and Wu Tong?" Zhu Di frowned and asked.
