Fatty Xue and the bandits were still laughing and talking as they stepped into the fighting arena of the ferocious beasts, but then, they suddenly heard faint footsteps from behind them.
Stepped over. Stepped over. Stepped over.
One of the bandits turned around and frowned when he saw an unknown figure walking calmly towards them. “Hey, boy! Whoareyou? Don't get involved in our business here and scram!”
More bandits stopped in their tracks to watch the scene with interest, and even the bandit leader glanced at the person who kept walking over to them. The bandit leader could not see through the depths of the man so furrowed his brows while carefully holding the hilt of his sword.
Looking at his actions, Fatty Xue could no longer hold back her curiosity and turned to look at the situation, but when she saw the man with the long silver hair she was familiar with, it was the same, his beaded-like eyes widened and a trace of unsecured hatred flashed before his gaze.
“Jiu Shen!” Fatty Xue said with gritted teeth as she pointed at Jiu Shen's face with her extremely fat right arm.
Swoosh's.
pu's.
A light swoosh sound echoed as Jiu Shen's robe fluttered softly. Everyone on the scene was confused, but soon they were horrified because Fatty Xue's right arm that was pointing at Jiu Shen earlier was no longer stuck to her shoulder! They could not even let out a scream from the sheer terror they felt.
Fatty Xue was still unaware of anything, but when she saw the bodies of the shivering bandits and the strange sensation on her right shoulder, she finally realized that she could no longer feel her right arm. And to his horror, he felt a warm sensation on the right part of his body as if something warm was flowing in his fat. “Blood! The blood! Ahhh!!”
Fatty Xue shouted like a pig in the slaughterhouse when she saw her severed arm on the ground, and she could now feel a numb pain slowly enveloping her entire body.
It's painful! Too painful! Blood continued to flow on his right shoulder and his face instantly pale from blood loss.
“Master, we are just bandits hired by this fat guy. Please let us go!” The bandit leader immediately knelt down with a terrified expression on his face, but his right hand was actually holding a hidden dagger at his feet!
The other bandits were still dumbfounded and they were still unable to process the entire scene because everything was happening too fast so they did not even see how Jiu Shen managed to cut off Fatty Xue's arm!
Jiu Shen remained unperturbed when she saw their begging gazes, and the killing intent in her eyes was evident that the bandits could not even cry or move their already stiff bodies.
As for the bandit who told Jiu Shen to scramble, he was already sweating, and his body was shivering as if he was inside an ice room.
Swoosh's. Swoosh's. Swoosh's. Swoosh's.
pu. pu.
The four heads exploded as Jiu Shen continued walking towards them with steady steps. His cold eyes gave the living people goosebumps, but they could not even move their bodies due to the strong feeling of fear in their hearts.
Jiu Shen's gaze was stupefied and calm, and anyone who saw her incomparably cold gaze seemed to feel as if their bodies were frozen stiff.
“God! Gods! Have mercy!” The bandit leader shouted in horror and the hand holding his hidden dagger could not help but tremble.
Swoosh's. Swoosh's. Swoosh's. Swoosh's.
pu. pu.
Four more headless corpses fell to the ground, drenched in pools of their own blood. Now, there were only six of them left including the wailing Fatty Xue. And until this moment, no one could still feel Jiu Shen's movements!
“God! Please forgive us! We can be your slaves!” This time, the remaining bandits almost lost their sanity and they immediately kowtowed on the ground to beg for mercy. Their bodies were still shivering due to the terrorizing scene they witnessed, and they did not even dare to glance at Jiu Shen's feet!
Even the bandit leader nearly lost his nerve after seeing how easily Jiu Shen killed his subordinates. However, his shivering right hand remained on the hidden dagger attached to his foot. He looked at Jiu Shen's shadow reflected on the ground and prepared to make a move.
“Diee!” The bandit leader shouted and suddenly pounced at Jiu Shen with a sparkling dagger in his right hand, but before he could even lift the dagger, his body suddenly froze and his face wrinkled in pain.
Bang out!
His whole body exploded! Broken bones and remnants of blood were strewn all over the ground, staining it with a deep red color. Some of the blood of the bandit leader also splashed onto his remaining subordinates and onto the wailing Fatty Xue.
“Ahhh!!”
“Ahhh!!”
“Burried!”
The remaining bandits screamed in fear as they tried to escape, but their heads exploded before they could even step forward.
Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud.
Only Fatty Xue was left of their group, and she was still on the ground, trembling in fear as she glanced at Jiu Shen's face.
“J - Jiu Shen er.. W - Wine Master Jiu! J-Don't kill me! I... I.. I am the son of the patriarch of the Xue Family!” His voice almost became hoarse from the continuous lament earlier. Now, he finally remembered the identity of the young lady who had expelled him from his territory earlier! He shouted in his heart: Damn it!
Jiu Shen stood in front of Fatty Xue and glanced at her shivering plump face with an indifferent gaze.
Seeing Jiu Shen's silence, Fatty Xue felt a hint of hope and she immediately spoke in a trembling voice. “W - Wine Master Jiu! T-Patriark Family Xue.. H-He. He is even stronger than Emperor Elyk! J-If you kill me, he will definitely take revenge!”
Jiu Shen felt a little curious when she heard his words, but her eyes remained cold, and she did not even bother to speak. He only glanced at Fatty Xue as if he was looking at a dead person.
Fatty Xue's teeth were now trembling due to the anxiety she felt. He thought that Jiu Shen would compromise after telling him his father's strength, but the latter still flinching despite being warned. This made him curse Jiu Shen inwardly.
“T-Wait! Waitaminute! T-There are other things you need to know Wine Master Jiu! My uncle, Elder Mi-” Before Fatty Xue could spout his words, his fat head suddenly burst into pieces, but the nearby Jiu Shen was not even stained by his blood. It was as if there was an invisible energy preventing it from being stained by Fatty Xue's filthy blood!
“Very noisy ..” Jiu Shen muttered coldly as he walked back into the beast fighting arena, nothing seems to happen from his casual attitude. However, a dozen headless corpses served as an indication that a brutal scene had occurred earlier.
‘It seems my assumption is correct. The Xue family is indeed closely related to the Immortal Corpse Sect, but with Fatty Xue dead, would they dare to come here if they knew that it was done by me?’ Jiu Shen thought in his heart with disdain. He didn't really think seriously about the Xue Family or the Immortal Corpse Sect, but he still had to make some preparations as there was still a chance of them coming for revenge. Although he believed that neither the Xue Family nor the Immortal Corpse Sect would come any faster with the current circumstances as they were most likely preparing to overthrow the throne!
” Huh. I'll help the boy Elyk and tell him about this. To help him..We will see later.” Jiu Shen muttered to himself while pondering deeply.
***
Huff! Engaged!
The imperial guard who came with Jiu Shen to the beast fighting arena arrived inside the wine shop.
The customers glanced at their figures with puzzled gazes, but they did not question them.
The imperial guards wanted to go upstairs, but they were suddenly blocked by Theia. Ren Shuang was no longer inside the shop because she had already headed to the Xue Family Plantation after receiving Jiu Shen's instructions, so Theia was now doing her job of monitoring and protecting the second floor.
“Only those in the realm of Emperor ranked 7th and above are allowed to top.” His voice was cold and icy.
The imperial guards furrowed their brows, but they did not dare to show any displeased expressions as they knew who he was.
“Theia Young Lady, we were sent here by Jiu Wine Master to deliver a message to the emperor.” One of the imperial guards stepped forward and cupped his fist towards Theia as he spoke in a respectful voice.
Theia's cold face turned slightly softer when she heard them mention Jiu Shen's name, but she still prevented them from going to the second floor.
“You don't have to go upstairs. I know what my master wants to say to the emperor, so you can leave now. I myself will pass on the message of the master to the emperor.” He said softly. He was the one who caused the slaughter in the beast fighting arena, so he already knew what Jiu Shen wanted to say to the emperor.
The imperial guards glanced at each other and sighed to themselves. They could do nothing to this woman because her strength was too much for them to handle, so they could only agree to it with a forced smile. “Then, we must trouble Young Miss Theia.”
Theia gestured for them to leave before she walked upstairs.
