Chapter 2537 A sudden attack
The corners of Feng Jiu’s lips twitched. She waved away when she heard another cry. “Go ahead and save that woman first.”
“Yes.” Cloud Devouring Beast darted back again. Feng Jiu couldn’t help but sigh as she saw Cloud Devouring Beast go away, her hand resting on her brow. “This is the first time I’ve seen Cloud Devouring Beast respond that way to my instructions. Even so, it’s quite surprising that loose cultivators would engage in such heinous behaviour in such a setting.”
“This is how things are in this world. Devilry cultivators aren’t the only ones who kill without hesitation. Those on the right path will feel the same way when they see wealth or l.u.s.t.” Xuanyuan Mo Ze said slowly. When the woman’s call for help came to an abrupt halt, followed by several bloodcurdling screams, they knew Cloud Devouring Beast had rescued her.
He poured her a gla.s.s of wine. “That woman should be grateful to meet you here tonight.”
After a while, Cloud Devouring Beast carried the unconscious woman to the pavilion in its mouth and threw her in front of Feng Jiu. “There is still the man, Master. I’ll bring him here as well.” Cloud Devouring Beast departed once more with these words.
Feng Jiu’s mouth corners twitched. When she noticed the dishevelled woman unconscious on the ground, she looked over at Xuanyuan Mo Ze, who sat across from her at the table. But, surprisingly, he was completely absorbed by the sight of the night sky and didn’t even look at the woman.
She stood up and took a step forward to check on the woman. As she did so, she caught a glimpse of the Cloud Devouring Beast reappearing, this time with a man in its mouth. “Master, the other one is here now.” After putting the man down, Cloud Devouring Beast proceeded outside the pavilion and lay down on its stomach, staring at Feng Jiu and h.e.l.l’s Lord in the pavilion.
Feng Jiu knelt beside the woman and directed the man, who stood there dumbfounded. “Take your coat off and put it on her!”
“Yes, yes.” The man watched them and Cloud Devouring Beast, who lay outside the tent, with fear. With quivering hands, he removed his coat and approached Feng Jiu, who was kneeling in front of the woman checking her injuries.
The moment he handed out his coat, the man’s expression changed abruptly; his eyes flashed with fierce and bloodthirsty killing intent. He quickly drew a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed at Feng Jiu’s Dantian.
Feng Jiu raised her hand and slapped the dagger with her palm almost simultaneously. However, the woman who appeared to be in a coma scurried away at this point and stabbed Feng Jiu’s Dantian with a sharp dagger.
“Hiss!”
Even though Feng Jiu reacted quickly, she had not antic.i.p.ated the two of them attacking her at such a speed. Even Cloud Devouring Beast and Xuanyuan Mo Ze, who arrived right away, were too late to stop them.
“Master!”
“Ah Jiu!”
Cloud Devouring Beast charged forward, scowling, and biting the man. However, the man abruptly releases the pressure of his true strength. He was a Strong Exponent at the level of Immortal Sacred Peak!
Feng Jiu was already safe in Xuanyuan Mo Ze’s arms when the woman launched another attack with her dagger. His expression had darkened at this point. He raised his hand and struck with his palm. The strong palm attack generated a forceful gust of wind that struck the woman tens of metres away.
“Pfft!”
The woman spat a mouthful of blood and her body rolled down to the foot of the mountain. At this point, the man who was entangled with Cloud Devouring Beast, after retreating more than ten metres, stared viciously at Feng Jiu who was being protected by Xuanyuan Mo Ze and uttered some sinister words…
