Chu Luo yawned out of boredom. "I certainly don"t want to pick a fight with those spiritual beasts. It"s just not interesting enough. Master, I think we"d better find a place to have a good nap for half a month before leaving this place."

Zi Yun scoffed and ignored Chu Luo. Instead, he turned towards Gu Ruoyun.

"Master, how about we find some spiritual beasts and have a good fight?"

He looked absolutely excited as he spoke. It was as if fighting spiritual beasts was some sort of fun game to him.

Gu Ruoyun chuckled calmly, "There"s no need to look for them, the people you should fight have arrived."

Just as she spoke, countless shadows appeared in front of them, surrounding the group of five.

"Hmph! d.a.m.ned girl, the five of you actually dared to come here and accept this a.s.sessment. You"ve even brought a little maiden along. You"re simply digging your own graves!"

The leader of the gang was a wild and coa.r.s.e-looking man. He spat ferociously, "Brothers, attack! Killing them would be too easy. Besides, Lady Murong has promised us that as long as we kill them, she will grant us a Spirit Gathering Pill."

The wild and coa.r.s.e man licked his lips as he stared scornfully at Gu Ruoyun.

"You don"t know what"s good for you!"

Chu Luo laughed icily and taunted.

These people could not sense Chu Luo"s rank but since she was Gu Ruoyun"s subordinate, they immediately a.s.sumed that she was not all that powerful.

It was not possible for a subordinate"s power to surpa.s.s their Master"s.

"d.a.m.ned girl, you can go to h.e.l.l!"

Boom!

The brute cried out angrily and sped towards Chu Luo as he aimed his fist fiercely at her chest.

Thud!

His fist landed heavily on Chu Luo"s chest.

However, it was almost like Chu Luo was rooted to the ground. No matter how much strength that man exerted, he could not budge her at all.

The brute"s eyes changed from fierceness to shock as he stared at the black-robed woman in astonishment.

Crack!

A clear sound rang out.

The brute then wailed in agony, sounding like a pig being slaughtered...

The others saw that Chu Luo had gripped his fist and twisted it forcefully. His arm was now dislocated and was swaying gently in the air.

Chu Luo"s fist then landed fiercely onto the brute. Before the brute could react, his body was sent flying out of the way. His head collided with a rock and began to bleed instantly.

"Leader!"

The group was shocked. They quickly ran to the brute"s side and pulled him up from the ground before staring at the black-robed Chu Luo in shock.

"Didn"t Lady Murong say that the strongest amongst them was only at the early stage in the exceptional state? Why is this woman"s bodyguard so powerful?" Cold sweat began to drip all over the brute"s forehead. His face was wretched and pale. When he noticed that Chu Luo was approaching him, his eyes filled with fear. "What do you want? Let me tell you this, even if you hold great power, it"s useless! As long as we bring your heads to Lady Murong, we can exchange them for pills! You will still encounter a.s.sa.s.sination attempts from cultivators of all states!"

"Hahaha!"

Zi Yun burst into laughter. "I should thank her for making the next half of this month more interesting! If she wants to send a.s.sa.s.sins after my Master, I"ll kill every single one of them! I"d love to see who dares to touch my Master!"

Snap!

Just as Zi Yun said his piece, Chu Luo made her move once again.

She grabbed the brute"s head in a tight grip and twisted it forcefully. His head was immediately torn from his body and blood began to spurt out like a fountain, dyeing the ground red.
