Chapter 206 - 203: Who Exactly Are You?

Hovering in the void, Mo Qianqian gazed at the massive city looming on the distant horizon. "Great Zhou Dynasty, your good days have come to an end," he couldn’t help but sigh. With that, he descended to the ground and strode forward toward the Great Zhou Dynasty. He planned to enter the city first to assess the situation.

Mo Qianqian and Xia Liu walked along the main road on foot, not drawing any particular attention. They hadn’t gone far, however, when an immature female voice suddenly called out from behind them. "Please wait, you two!"

Hearing this, Mo Qianqian turned around to see a caravan heading in their direction. The vehicles were pulled entirely by Spiritual Steeds, numbering over a dozen. Aside from the five harnessed to a single luxurious carriage, the remaining twelve all carried riders. Driving the Spiritual Steeds at the front of that carriage was a young girl of about twelve or thirteen. Despite her young age, she already boasted a voluptuous figure, exuding a striking beauty and an air of maturity. A few scattered pedestrians ahead also turned to watch the approaching procession.

"What is it?" Mo Qianqian asked in confusion, looking at the gorgeous girl. They didn’t know these people at all, nor did they understand why they had been stopped. Xia Liu also stared at them with a bewildered expression.

The gorgeous girl didn’t even spare Mo Qianqian a glance; her eyes were fixed squarely on Xia Liu’s face. After looking Xia Liu up and down a few times, she turned back with extreme excitement and shouted into the carriage. "Mr. Lu! Mr. Lu! Here is exactly the kind of woman you’ve been wanting! She’s about fifteen or sixteen, has a baby face, and is both youthful and curvaceous. She’s absolutely perfect!"

Mo Qianqian and Xia Liu were left entirely speechless.

"What???" an excited young man’s voice rang out from within the carriage.

The curtain was pulled aside, and a young man in his late twenties, dressed in fine brocade robes, stepped out. He had a pale, handsome face and wore numerous ornaments in his hair, looking exactly like a stereotypical pretty boy. As soon as he emerged, his eyes locked onto Xia Liu’s face. His lecherous gaze then trailed down to her chest and further down to her hips, scanning her body continuously. "Tsk, tsk. Perfect, absolutely perfect!"

"May I ask if you two belong to the imperial family?" the brocade-clad young man asked eagerly.

"No. What do you want?" Mo Qianqian retorted in displeasure. For some reason, the way this young man looked at Xia Liu made him feel incredibly uncomfortable.

"HA HA HA, that’s good. That’s very good." The young man burst into laughter. He then turned back to Xia Liu and asked, "Miss, would you be willing to be my virgin maiden?"

"Virgin maiden?" Both Mo Qianqian and Xia Liu were taken aback.

"Mr. Lu here is the young master of the Lu family, the biological grandson of the Lu family’s Patriarch!" the gorgeous young girl boasted. "To become his virgin maiden is your absolute greatest blessing! By becoming his virgin maiden, you’ll receive his favor and protection. Why aren’t you thanking him already?"

Mo Qianqian and Xia Liu remained entirely speechless.

A virgin maiden who receives his "favor"? What kind of sick fetish was this?

The brocade-clad young man crossed his arms and said with a face full of confidence, "So, what do you say? Are you willing to be my virgin maiden? If you agree, you will have whatever your heart desires from now on."

Mo Qianqian turned his head to Xia Liu and asked, "What do you think? Should we kill him, or just cripple him?"

"Maybe we should just kill him?" Xia Liu replied blankly.

"I think so too. Keeping someone like this alive is nothing but a menace," Mo Qianqian nodded in agreement.

The brocade-clad young man, the gorgeous girl, and the group of guards were all stunned. Kill their master?

"What did you just say? You want to kill me?" the young man asked, staring at the two of them in disbelief.

"That’s right. Since we bumped into you, we might as well kill you," Mo Qianqian replied with a nod, not in any rush to make a move.

"Hmph, what sheer audacity! Do you have any idea how powerful the Lu family is? Just the two of you boast about killing Mr. Lu? Do you have a death wish?!" The gorgeous girl angrily scolded them. Her voice still carried a hint of childishness, but her words were incredibly harsh. "Hurry up and kowtow to apologize to Mr. Lu!"

Mo Qianqian found himself momentarily at a loss for words. How could a girl who was clearly only twelve or thirteen speak with such biting venom? Furthermore, why was she so completely infatuated with this pretty boy, acting as if he were some supreme, untouchable deity?

"Oh? Someone actually wants to kill me? It’s been a long time since I’ve heard such a funny joke." The young man crossed his arms and sneered. "I, Lu Ji, will stand right here and see exactly how you plan to kill me."

SWISH!

Mo Qianqian immediately manifested his Spirit Body, which instantly appeared beside the young man and delivered a vicious slap across his face.

SLAP!

A crisp, resounding smack echoed through the air. The sheer force of the blow sent Lu Ji tumbling right off the front of the carriage. He slammed heavily onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dirt.

"Y-You’re a Spirit Master!" an old guard cried out in shock.

The gorgeous girl and the dozen or so guards were instantly frozen in disbelief. Someone actually dared to lay a hand on their master?

"Hmph! I don’t care who you are, but you’re dead meat for daring to touch Mr. Lu!" The gorgeous girl scoffed coldly. She hurriedly hopped off the carriage to help the young man up. "Mr. Lu! Mr. Lu, are you alright?"

Scrambling to his feet, Lu Ji flew into a fiery rage. He pointed at Mo Qianqian and roared, "You dared to slap me! Kill him! Kill him right now!!!"

"Such insolence! Attack!" the leading old guard bellowed. The imposing aura of the Fifth Level of Tongyou Realm erupted from his body as he became the first to charge at Mo Qianqian.

The rest of the guards immediately sprang into action. A few of them rushed toward Lu Ji, preparing to fend off the Spirit Body.

SWISH!

Mo Qianqian made his Spirit Body vanish, only for it to instantly reappear beside the charging old man at the Fifth Level of Tongyou Realm. It delivered a lethal palm strike directly to the man’s throat.

SQUELCH!

The old man’s throat was instantly severed, sending his head flying as blood spouted like a fountain.

At the Fifth Level of Tongyou Realm, one could perhaps be considered a top-tier expert within a dynasty. In the past, Mo Qianqian would have also viewed such a person as an untouchable, supreme master. But now, someone at the Fifth Level of Tongyou Realm meant absolutely nothing in his eyes. They couldn’t even withstand a single blow.

SQUELCH! SQUELCH! SQUELCH!

The Spirit Body flickered into motion, slaughtering several more men in the blink of an eye. Their deaths were identical—each had their neck brutally severed.

"What!!!" In the rear, Lu Ji, the gorgeous girl, and the remaining guards were all horrified. Their leading expert at the Fifth Level of Tongyou Realm, along with several other Tongyou Realm masters, had all been killed just like that? How could this young man be so extraordinarily powerful? Could he possibly be a Third-Grade Spirit Master? But across the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, there were only two such masters in existence. How could a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy have reached the level of a Third-Grade Spirit Master?

The surviving guards stood trembling with fear, completely losing the courage to step forward.

"Who exactly are you people?" Lu Ji asked, his expression finally turning utterly grim.

SQUELCH! SQUELCH! SQUELCH!

Mo Qianqian didn’t bother to answer and simply continued his massacre. One by one, the guards had their necks cleanly severed. Blood erupted like fountains as their heads were sent flying through the air.

"No, please don’t kill me!"

Terrified guards frantically scattered in all directions to flee. However, no one could outrun the pursuit of Mo Qianqian’s Spirit Body. In a matter of moments, every last one of them was slaughtered. Over a dozen guards had perished on the spot. Only Lu Ji and the gorgeous girl were left alive.
