Chapter 312: Scheming Person (2/2)

She scoffed at the useless display of bravery. She reached down to end his life as painfully as possible when a brash voice stopped her.

It was Tian Yunhao. “Evil woman! You dare to kill so wantonly here? This is the Eastern Sanmu Metropolis, not somewhere you can do as you please! Stop now or suffer the consequences!”

Abbotess Liang whirled around to face him. She made a sweeping gesture with her hand and a horizontal arc of purple energy swept through where he stood.

“Ahhh!” Tian Yunhao screamed like a slaughtered pig as he was blown off his feet.

A grey light emerged around his body, forming the shape of a shield, blocking most of the damage.

While he survived, those unlucky enough to be around him did not. The purple arc swept through the crowd like a scythe reaping rows of wheat. People were cut down where they stood, unable to react, unable to do anything. When they finally understood what was happening, their upper bodies were no longer connected to their legs. There was a gaping gap where their stomach once was which they could see clearly as they tumbled to the ground. They were only given a few last moments to consider their misfortune and question why they had antagonized a Spirit King before the last bit of life left them.

Abbotess Liang laughed shrilly and made a motion with one finger. Tian Yunhao was pulled out of the sea of carnage by her spiritual force. His body zipped to her and his neck landed neatly in her hand.

“Bark! Bark! Keep yapping, I’m waiting!”

Tian Yunhao only gave a weak whimper which did not satisfy her. She slapped him across the face, leaving three bloody trails from her nails.

He responded with a pitiful wail.

“I am so sick and tired this dirty, poor place.” She muttered and turned to Chen Wentian, “I came here out of the goodness of my heart to find a disciple and this is how you people treat me…”

“And you!” She snarled at him, “Where is she! Tell me now or I kill this useless person!”

She lifted Tian Yunhao higher into the air, causing his arms and legs to flail around in a panic.

Chen Wentian simply laughed, “You said yourself he’s a useless person. Why do I care if he dies? Now, if you broke your own legs, I might consider it.”

“Fine!”

She squeezed her hand but before she could finish the task…

Woosh!

A powerful surge of steel-gray spiritual energy engulfed Tian Yunhao, protecting him from further harm.
