489 Elder Luo Shan (1/2)
At once, more than twenty ancient martial art practitioners from Jianyou Sect had appeared. Moreover, there were seven to eight ancient martial art practitioners with the Embryonic Breathing realm. The one in the lead with a blinded eye clearly had the Embryonic Breathing realm.
He stood right in front of Zou Guangbo and Chen Zi. Their expressions had changed. At the moment, the two of them had been injured. A single ancient martial art practitioner with the Embryonic Breathing realm would already be difficult to handle, much less a whole gang of so many ancient martial art practitioners surrounding them.
”Young Mistress Chen, I have finally managed to block you. I believe you should not resist, there is no use in wasting your effort.”
The man with a single blinded eye smiled coldly. In order to block off Chen Zi and Zou Guangbo, he had used a substantial amount of effort, and he had even let them off to run for a distance. The whole purpose was to ensure their success in capturing them. Once he captured Chen Zi, the Mayor would definitely reward him handsomely. Just thinking about it made him smile widely.
”Li Shuncai, you dirty vile man.” Zou Guangbo had so much hatred within him that he was gritting his teeth. He had already been injured at the hands of Li Shuncai and had thought that Li Shuncai had sustained even more serious injuries than him. However, from what could be observed, he must have faked his injuries and pretended to be weak, all the while waiting for people's aid.
”What dirty vile man, don't you know that is called a battle strategy? You are the simple one so you shouldn't be blaming others.” Li Shuncai spoke with a cold smile. He had indeed been injured but it was not as serious as Zou Guangbo had imagined. Hence, he had been able to tail Chen Zi and Zou Guangbo the entire way without them noticing.
”Go, capture those two people.” Li Shuncai looked coldly at Zou Guangbo. He had not taken action himself immediately, because he knew that Zou Guangbo was also an ancient martial art practitioner with the peak of the Embryonic Breathing realm. Although he was hurt, if unafraid of death he could attempt to destroy him indiscriminately. He would definitely not be able to withstand Zou Guangbo's attacks.
That was also why, although he was not seriously injured, he had still released Zou Guangbo and Chen Zi, in order to wait for the helpers so that he would definitely be able to capture Chen Zi.
The surrounding ancient martial art practitioners from Jianyou Sect all shared glances before looking at the haggard Zou Guangbo. They could only grit their teeth and harden their heads. It was obvious that Li Shuncai treated them as cannon fodder, and it was a fact that was clear to everyone. Zou Guangbo was not one to be messed with. If he was forced into a corner, they would have a very high price to pay. However, Li Shuncai's Cultivation was higher than theirs and naturally, his status was higher as well. If they did not follow his orders, they would also have a high price to pay. If they failed to follow orders, in the future they would inevitably be bearing the brunt of Li Shuncai's anger as he would deliberately make things difficult for them.
Hence, they would rather just go all out. If they could also successfully tackle Chen Zi, it would be a huge achievement.
Seven to eight ancient martial art practitioners with the Embryonic Breathing realm surged towards them and surrounded Zou Guangbo. Immediately, they all locked hands. Facing such a high number of opponents immediately spread the abilities of Zou Guangbo. The battle started off being very one-sided.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
As for Li Shuncai, he had his eyes fixed on Chen Zi from beginning to end, ensuring that she could not escape. Chen Zi was the real aim of this mission. In comparison, Zou Guangbo was simply expendable.
Not only was he eyeing Chen Zi, but he was also eyeing the Phantom Wolf Cat on her shoulder. That was a Sixth level monstrous beast which had even attracted the interest of the young sect leader of Jianyou Sect. Naturally, Li Shuncai was also attracted to it.
”Young Mistress Chen, I don't want to hurt you. You had better know your place and follow me without struggling. Don't worry, the Mayor has ordered that nobody is to hurt you.” Li Shuncai spoke calmly. He was worried that Chen Zi would do something that would end her own life. Hence, he did not attack her at all. She had a Phantom Wolf Cat with her so if she was bent on committing suicide, he would not be able to stop her no matter what.
”Thinking of capturing me as leverage to threaten Intentionless Sect? You must be dreaming.” Chen Zi laughed coldly. She would rather die than fall in the hands of Jianyou Sect. She knew that her only value was as a threat to her grandfather. That was also the whole reason why Jianyou Sect wanted to capture her no matter what.
The Intentionless Sect had been managing Intentionless City for hundreds of years. Even though they lost their ancient martial art practitioner with the intermediate stage of the Golden Elixir realm as the head, it was still not easy for the Sacred Flame Sect to think of eliminating the Intentionless Sect. They had been trying for weeks and the Sacred Flame Sect had yet to take down the Intentionless Sect.
”You would rather I treated you badly than treat you well.” Li Shuncai's face darkened. He was most afraid that Chen Zi was going to commit suicide. What Chen Zi had just said had made him even more anxious. His pupils darted around as he tried to think of a plan to capture Chen Zi while preventing her from being injured.
However, Chen Zi did not care about Li Shuncai at all. Seeing Zou Guangbo who was outnumbered and in great danger, his body full of injuries, a look of sadness flashed in her eyes. Was she unable to change anything?
She quickly wielded a long sword and pressed it against her own neck.
”Wait! Let's talk about things calmly.” Li Shuncai had not imagined that Chen Zi would be so decisive. Was she unafraid of death?
”Lady Chen Zi, let's talk things through slowly, put down the sword. Think about it, if you die just like that, you won't ever be able to see your family again. Moreover, your family would be devastated to learn of your death.” Li Shuncai was waving his hand around and his expression had gone pale. If he caused Chen Zi to die, the Mayor would definitely skin him alive and rip out his intestines.
”Release Uncle Zou.” Chen Zi gripped the long sword tightly. She looked at Li Shuncai and blinked, completely not allowing him to have any chance of stopping her at all.
”Alright… We will release him, if you don't commit suicide, we will release him immediately…” Li Shuncai nodded his head continuously. Zou Guangbo was an insignificant person. Whether or not he was released, and whether or not he got killed did not really matter.
”Put down the sword and I will immediately release him.” Li Shuncai inhaled deeply. His eyes were fixed on Chen Zi as he was calculating the possibility of success if he were to take action right after Chen Zi put the sword down.
”Release him!” Chen Zi said coldly. She was uninterested in the conditions set by Li Shuncai. She pressed the long sword even closer to her snow-white neck. A trace of blood appeared immediately. The bright red blood stained the sword and started to flow along the blade.
