Chapter 796: Bizarre
Xiao Shun walked neither hurriedly nor slowly, each step landing like a heavy hammer, striking at the hearts of Ada and Ruan Jinshui, causing them to tremble in response.
“Master, what… what should we do?” Ruan Jinshui, standing behind Ada, had his expression twisted by fear and jealousy. He had always considered himself a demon in the eyes of many, but compared to Xiao Shun today, the difference was stark.
Seeing Ruan Jinshui’s terrified expression, Ada also felt a surge of frustration. The strength Xiao Shun had just displayed frightened even him, a “Wild Gu Master” formidable enough to terrify others.
With his strength, he could even contend with Anterior Heaven, but facing this young man now, he was truly helpless.
“Release us, and I will remove the ‘Colorless Gu’ from that girl’s body!” Under immense pressure, the proud Ada chose to show weakness for the first time in his life.
Watching Ada still negotiating at the brink of death, Xiao Shun smiled faintly: “From the moment you cast the Gu, death was already destined.” Tonight, he would accept no compromises.
Otherwise, why would his five brothers have died such tragic deaths?
Xiao Shun was not a cruel person, but he had his principles! Ever since Song Linger had risked her life to protect him from Yang Zinuo and Gu Baiyi, he had sworn never to let his disciples suffer again.
But since Ruan Jinshui and others would not let him have his way, they would certainly not end well!
Seeing Xiao Shun’s resolute attitude and his intent to take his life, Ada’s face filled with anger. “Even if you are a ‘Consolidation’ practitioner, you cannot bully a ‘Wild Gu Master’ like me. If you insist on this, the ‘Eternal Elder’ will soon let you know our strength!”
Hearing this, Ruan Jinshui was utterly terrified. “Consolidation” practitioners! They were among the elite in cultivation, and even the historical Old School Society of this nation had produced only a few such strong individuals.
Although Ruan Jinshui was not a martial cultivator, he understood this realm well. If he had known Xiao Shun’s true strength earlier, he wouldn’t have dared to provoke him, no matter how powerful the figures backing him were!
“If the ‘Eternal Elder’ comes for me, I will ensure his ‘eternal life’ transcends. Tonight, no one can stop me from killing you!” Xiao Shun said, supremely confident in his own strength, ready to sweep through any challenger.
Ada, holding great reverence for the “Eternal Elder,” rebuked Xiao Shun sharply: “Audacious boy, how dare you insult the venerable one!”
“Common chickens and dogs, insult them if you must!” Xiao Shun replied disdainfully.
Hearing this, Ada, no longer able to contain the energy enveloping him, his eyes narrowing to points, suddenly attacked. A thick black fog spread from his body, rolling towards the unassuming Xiao Shun, engulfing everything in its path.
This move alone showed the formidable strength of the “Wild Gu Master,” clearly distinguishing him from ordinary Gu cultivators.
In terms of the might of this move, even the Silvermeadows clan leader, Miao Xiuyun, was somewhat inferior and could not compete.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
But Xiao Shun remained calm, his eyes tranquil like an ancient well, watching the black fog approaching him.
Then, he snorted coldly.
With that sound, the “Fight Book” within him shockingly activated.
An invisible ripple emanated from Xiao Shun, spreading outward in all directions, clashing head-on with a dense, seemingly indissoluble black fog.
The two forces collided invisibly, and almost at the moment of contact, Ada couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of fresh blood, his whole body appearing extremely weakened.
Despite this, he still furrowed his brow and persisted.
Just a second passed, and Ada’s forehead was covered in dense beads of sweat, his body also began to tremble slightly, as if he was engaged in some unseen struggle!
Seeing this, Ruan Jinshui felt dizzy.
From the moment Xiao Shun and Ada exchanged blows to now was but an instant, yet Ada, the “Wild Gu Master,” was already showing signs of defeat.
The “Consolidation” cultivators truly were terrifying!
After a moment of shock, Ruan Jinshui had only one thought left in his mind, and that was to flee.
In fact, this thought had been lingering in his mind for a long time, but having Ada as a strong support had given him plenty of confidence until now.
It was only when he had heard Ada mention Xiao Shun’s level that he cursed himself for being so foolish to stay here waiting for death!
With this thought, Ruan Jinshui glanced surreptitiously at Xiao Shun, who appeared indifferent not far away, and then at Ada, whose expression was twisted in agony.
“Damn it, if I don’t run now, I’ll really die!”
With gritted teeth, he finally stopped hesitating, and with one stride, he dashed toward the warehouse door.
Just as he took a few steps forward, a chilling voice reached his ears.
“If you take one more step, I will make you watch as I slice the flesh from your legs, inch by inch!”
Ruan Jinshui did not doubt that Xiao Shun would do as he said, especially since the earlier events had proven this point very well.
Glancing at a nearby steel plate stained with a splash of blood-red, he immediately halted his steps, then fell to his knees with a “thud.”
“Big brother, I was wrong, I won’t dare anymore, please spare me this once! From the beginning to the end, I never harmed Miss Song, not even a single hair, please spare me this once, I swear I won’t dare again!”
Kneeling on the ground, Ruan Jinshui pleaded incoherently with Xiao Shun.
Seeing this, Xiao Shun hooked the corner of his mouth.
Clearly, he was not the slightest bit concerned about Ruan Jinshui’s pleading. After all, if it weren’t for his absolute power, today’s incident would have involved him and his disciple Song Linger.
Xiao Shun had compassion, but he would never extend it to scum like Ruan Jinshui, only the earlier strong man had stirred a slight pang of pity in his heart!
A creature that only whines and begs does not deserve to live in this world.
“If you had known this day would come, why did you do it in the first place? No matter what, you are destined to die tonight, otherwise, I would be failing the promise I made to Linger!” Xiao Shun said to himself.
As he finished speaking, Ada, who had been biting his tongue in perseverance, let out a heavy grunt: “Hmph, you haven’t even defeated me yet, what right do you have to be so arrogant!”
With that, Ada bit the tip of his tongue and sprayed a mouthful of deep red blood tinged with streaks of golden light onto his fingertips.
Immediately, he recited an ancient spell, seemingly invoking some hidden mystery in the void.
As his murmuring words echoed, Xiao Shun felt endless black qi converging towards them from the void.
At this moment, Ada’s body was like a black hole, voraciously devouring this black qi.
