Chapter 472: Chapter 154: Flesh Shakes a Profound Weapon, Displaying Limit-Breaking Might; Demon Suppression Crushes the Fiery Sun, An Eye for an Eye
’If they accidentally provoked a major power or a Noble Family and brought trouble to the Seven Stars Gang and Chu Fan, it wouldn’t be worth it.’
She lowered her voice and said, "Control yourself. Don’t be rash. Let’s just eat first."
Xiaoqing’s chest heaved as she forcefully suppressed her rage, but how could she have any appetite to savor the food now?
The two had intended to swallow their anger, but the woman’s voice from the private room grew even more vicious and drifted out again...
"Tsk, tsk. With two slutty snakes coiling up in here, even the wine tastes bland. What a mood killer!"
The words were a blatant, utterly vicious insult.
"I can’t take it anymore!"
Xiaoqing could no longer hold back. She shot to her feet, pushed off the tips of her toes, and her figure blurred. With a loud BANG, she kicked the private room’s wooden door, sending splinters flying as it shattered to pieces!
But before she could get a clear look inside the private room, a giant hand formed entirely of Primordial Qi shot out from the shattered doorframe like a thunderbolt. It was grayish-brown with clearly defined knuckles, and it firmly gripped her by the waist.
The Primordial Qi hand was harder than refined steel and possessed incredible strength. No matter how much Xiaoqing struggled, she couldn’t move an inch!
"Xiaoqing!"
Cyan Snake was horrified and rushed forward to help without a moment’s hesitation.
She formed a claw with her five fingers, a cold glint flashing as her sharp Demonic Power erupted in an instant!
But before she could truly strike, a golden light shot out from the private room. It coalesced into the shape of a rope, covered in flowing Runes and faintly humming with Sanskrit chants, and coiled around her like a spirit snake wrapping around a tree, binding her completely!
Terror seized Cyan Snake’s heart...
’With my Profound Demon body, I should have been able to fight Middle to Late Stage Divine Power Cultivators, yet I’ve been restrained so easily!’
’The Runes on that Golden Rope seem to possess a strange power, instantly sealing my meridians. My Demonic Power can’t circulate, and all my formidable strength has been suppressed in an instant, impossible to use!’
"A Profound Weapon?!" Cyan Snake was both shocked and enraged!
"Honored guests, please calm down! Please!" The Shopkeeper of Wangxian Tower rushed over, stumbling and covered in a cold sweat.
He bowed repeatedly toward the private room, saying urgently, "Hall Masters, please calm down! This is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"
After the Shopkeeper’s frantic explanation, Cyan Snake and Xiaoqing finally learned that the two people in the private room were none other than two Hall Masters of the Fiery Sun Gang—Xia Yao and Zhang Heng.
Hearing these names, Cyan Snake calmed down slightly.
The Fiery Sun Gang was just a third-rate gang in Qing Province City. Their strongest members were merely a few Late Stage Divine Power Realm Cultivators.
’Their taunts were clearly because they’d heard the Seven Stars Gang had offended the Zhang Family, one of the Four Great Clans. They wanted to take this chance to step on the Seven Stars Gang and curry favor with the Zhang Family.’
’In terms of true strength, I’m not afraid of these two. But that Golden Rope Magical Treasure used by the female cultivator, Xia Yao, is so bizarre it prevents me from using my full strength.’
Seeing her sister captured and herself bound, Cyan Snake grew frantic. She was about to use her full power to break free from the rope!
Just then, something unexpected happened!
Suddenly, with a light SHIING, an incomparably sharp burst of Sword Qi shot out of the window of the private room diagonally opposite without any warning. A silver light flashed like a shooting star chasing the moon, striking the Golden Rope binding Cyan Snake dead-on!
With a crisp SNAP, the Golden Rope was knocked out of Xia Yao’s hand!
Cyan Snake seized the opportunity, furiously channeling her Primordial Qi to break free from her bonds!
Once free, she didn’t hesitate for a second. With a flick of her wrist, a cyan longsword was suddenly unsheathed. The blade’s light was as cold as frost as she viciously chopped at the Primordial Qi hand gripping her sister!
"KRA-CHA!" The Primordial Qi hand shattered on impact, dissolving into a sky full of light motes before vanishing completely.
Inside the private room, the mocking smiles that had been on Xia Yao and Zhang Heng’s faces were now completely gone.
They paid no attention to the freed Cyan Snake. Instead, their expressions were grim as they stared intently at the private room from which the Sword Qi had been fired...
’That sliver of Sword Qi just now had been as solid as a physical object, incomparably sharp, and contained a terrifying will that sent a chill through their very souls!’
’They had no doubt that if that Sword Qi had been aimed at them, they would have had no way to resist it!’
As the two watched with shock and suspicion, the door to that private room slowly creaked open.
A burly man walked out slowly, dressed in black martial attire with a soft leather belt around his waist.
The most eye-catching thing about him was the giant saber slung across his back—its blade was as wide as a door panel, its hilt wrapped in black cloth, and it faintly exuded a grim Cold Qi.
The newcomer was none other than "Soul-breaking Saber" Hu Bugui—the very man who had been scared into retreat by Chu Fan while hunting Mo Daozi!
Hu Bugui’s gaze swept across the tower, lingering for a moment on Xia Yao and Zhang Heng.
Then, he grinned, his voice booming like a great bell, yet it was clearly audible over the din of the hall. "You two and our friends from the Seven Stars Gang... I imagine this is just a small misunderstanding. I am Hu Bugui. Might I be so bold as to ask you two to give me some face and let this matter drop? What do you say?"
"’Soul-breaking Saber’... Hu Bugui?!"
Hearing this name, Xia Yao and Zhang Heng’s faces changed drastically. They went as white as sheets, and their hands unconsciously clenched the hems of their robes.
Not daring to hesitate for even a second, the two hastily stood up together. They bowed deeply to Hu Bugui with clasped fists, their waists bent so low their heads nearly touched their knees, their voices filled with reverence. "Greetings, Elder Hu!"
In the martial world, a resounding title was like a pine tree standing on a cliff—it possessed its own natural authority.
Hu Bugui was a true-blue Acupoint Realm expert. Not only was his Cultivation immense, but he had a fiery temper and was exceedingly domineering.
An ordinary Second Heaven Acupoint Realm Cultivator wouldn’t dare to hunt down Mo Daozi for a bounty, not even if they were given the courage to do so.
Yet Hu Bugui dared to chase Mo Daozi until the man was forced to hide here and there, living in constant terror.
This level of ferocity had long since become legendary in the martial world of Qing Province.
The Fiery Sun Gang didn’t have a single Acupoint Realm expert. Even if they did, how could they possibly dare to provoke such a figure?
