“This is actually a real scam, a real trap!”
“You! Yi Tianwen, you dare to frame me!”
“Hmph! A kind person will always be taken advantage of, just like a gentle horse will always be ridden. If I don’t act, you all might think I’m a weak cat. Well then, since you’re pushing me like this, don’t blame me for being ruthless…”
Shui Miao sensed Yi Tianwen’s words through spiritual perception, his heart immediately burning with rage, his killing intent surging, and he was ready to unleash his full strength.
Thinking quickly, Shui Miao reacted swiftly.
This elevator was a normal metal one, so Shui Miao wasn’t worried about being trapped inside.
At once, he channeled his immortal energy fully, preparing for battle.
Upon receiving secret orders, many people in yellow coats stood up. Regardless of age or gender, they all rushed to the elevator door, blocking it, and stared intently at the elevator entrance.
Ding!
A crisp electronic tone rang out—thethe elevator had reached the first floor.
The elevator doors opened, but inside was pitch black, startling everyone.
They exchanged uneasy glances, none daring to act rashly.
Suddenly, an old man’s walkie-talkie crackled to life, and Yi Tianwen’s voice came through, “Spare no effort to stop him. Absolutely do not let him escape. Even if it means shooting, do it without hesitation.”
Roar!
As soon as the voice finished, a massive surge of black mist erupted from the elevator. Moving at incredible speed, it emitted a howling wind sound as it shot out…
At this moment, with the wind roaring and the black mist swirling, it was as if demons had arrived!
The black mist, as if alive, split into countless tendrils wrapping around everyone. From the mist, Shui Miao emerged slowly like a demon, his voice cold and emotionless, “You forced me into this. You even dared to plan to shoot me. Don’t blame me for repaying you in kind.”
There were many people inside the villa, all experts from the Xuan Group, each possessing unique abilities and special skills.
As the black mist surrounded them, they immediately activated their powers, employing various techniques to resist Shui Miao’s Soul Devouring Force.
Shui Miao didn’t rush out but instead closed his eyes, sensing every movement around him.
Suddenly, he detected an old man with a walkie-talkie. The man’s body trembled, instantly dispersing the Soul Devouring Force around him. He was also a cultivator with elemental earth energy.
Interesting!
Shui Miao focused his mind, waved his hand, and immediately unleashed a surge of wood-element Soul Devouring Force toward the old man.
The old man had just dispersed the mist around him when he saw a surge of green energy approaching. He hesitated slightly, instinctively activating his elemental energy to defend. But upon contact, he realized this Soul Devouring Force was like a flood or a beast, directly countering his energy and instantly overpowering it!
Focusing on the old man, Shui Miao also noticed several other yellow-coated elders shaking off the Soul Devouring Force.
They were also experts from the Taoist sects, but in terms of strength, they were slightly inferior to the previous old man.
Sensing their relatively modest abilities, Shui Miao’s thoughts shifted. His real enemy was Yi Tianwen. These people were innocent. If he slaughtered them all, how could he live with himself?
Retreat!
Shui Miao shouted, immediately withdrawing part of his immortal energy, even recalling the wood-element Soul Devouring Force he had just unleashed. He loudly declared, “Yi Tianwen set this trap. It has nothing to do with you. Anyone who recklessly blocks me will have their cultivation base destroyed forever, rendering them unable to cultivate. Those who do not oppose me can kneel on the ground with their hands on their heads.”
Shui Miao was giving them a chance, urging them not to get involved.
Hearing this, a cold-faced young man smirked and said, “You’ve got some skills, but what was that dark fog just now?” As he spoke, he pulled out three small throwing knives from his sleeve.
“You want us to kneel with our hands on our heads? What a joke!” Another young man pulled out a pistol, pointing it at Shui Miao, and coldly added, “Friend, whoever you are, you’d better surrender now. Don’t think some dark mist can scare us.”
Just tricks! I’m a spirit medium. Let me play with you!
A middle-aged man tore off his yellow coat, revealing his muscular physique.
Through spiritual perception, Shui Miao discovered that the two young men with the knives and the gun were not cultivators—their dantians were empty. However, their minds were highly focused, and their bodies were extremely well-toned, clearly experts in throwing knives and firearms. The middle-aged man who spoke later was a cultivator, and he had a unique soul attached to him.
As Shui Miao was about to act, the old man who had been suppressed by the wood-element Soul Devouring Force shouted at the knife and gun-wielding youths, “A Fei, Xiao Ju, quickly put down those useless weapons. Don’t be disrespectful. This senior’s cultivation is unfathomable. If he truly wanted to kill you, you’d already be dead.”
“What? Old Huang, are you senile? Now he’s not moving, and you want us to lower our weapons?” The gun-wielding youth sneered, “Oh, I get it. You think we’re taking over your credit for capturing him, so you’re saying this on purpose?”
“Hmph! What nonsense about unfathomable cultivation. He’s just a demon cultivator.”
A Fei, the knife-wielding one, was also very disrespectful toward Shui Miao.
Shui Miao deeply disliked being pointed at with a gun. Being looked down upon didn’t bother him much—after all, people were different, and he didn’t care about others’ opinions.
But Xiao Ju, who was pointing the gun at his head, wouldn’t be easily forgiven.
Killing him in front of so many people might put him at the center of controversy.
Shui Miao wanted to sense where Yi Tianwen was now, but his spiritual perception couldn’t penetrate the walls.
Soon, Shui Miao noticed that the spirit medium middle-aged man had very weak spiritual power, making him easy to control. An invisible immortal force immediately enveloped him. The unique soul sensed the threat and quickly detached from the man’s body, fleeing into the air toward the South Heaven Gate.
Could this soul be a ghost from the Immortal Realm?
Shui Miao’s mind stirred slightly, but he ignored it, closing his eyes and remaining silent.
In reality, Shui Miao was secretly controlling the spirit medium’s mind, channeling immortal energy, preparing to use his body to deal with Xiao Ju and A Fei.
Seeing Shui Miao remain silent, Xiao Ju and A Fei became even more arrogant and confident.
After exchanging a few words with the old man, Xiao Ju raised his gun and walked toward Shui Miao, shouting, “Damn it, are you deaf? I told you to kneel with your hands on your head!”
“Die!”
Suddenly, the spirit medium roared and charged at Xiao Ju. Unprepared, Xiao Ju was grabbed around the waist, unable to break free, his face turning red and his neck swelling as he cried out, “A Fei, help me!”
Hearing this, A Fei immediately rushed over to pull at the spirit medium’s arm, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t budge him.
Seeing this, the old man quickly bowed to Shui Miao, “Senior, please spare them. They’re young and ignorant. You don’t have to hold grudges against them.” The old man had just experienced Shui Miao’s might and dared not provoke him further, speaking very cautiously.
Shui Miao opened his eyes, shrugged, and replied to the old man, “He’s helping you vent your anger. What does that have to do with me? I’m just standing here. Why would you ask me to spare him? Old man, I think you’re getting senile. People like you, why not find a quiet place to cultivate? If I were you, I would never join any Xuan Group.”
The old man was intelligent enough to understand Shui Miao’s meaning but didn’t press further, standing there awkwardly.
At this moment, three elderly men around sixty stepped forward. They also believed Shui Miao was controlling the middle-aged man, and they began sticking talismans and other items onto the spirit medium. But unexpectedly, the spirit medium suddenly radiated a golden glow. Holding Xiao Ju, he abruptly fell backward, slamming Xiao Ju’s head hard onto the floor, instantly knocking him unconscious.
After getting up, the spirit medium punched and kicked the surrounding elders, then roared with a fierce expression, “The heavenly god descends, granting me the body of a Vajra Arhat!”
Damn it!
Seeing the spirit medium unleash his power, A Fei instinctively stepped back a few paces.
The spirit medium turned and charged at A Fei.
A Fei was prepared and immediately threw his knives directly at the spirit medium’s thigh. But as the knives struck, they produced a metallic clang, as if hitting steel. All three knives fell to the ground.
Damn it, Lao Guan, are you cheating!
A Fei shouted at the spirit medium, then turned and ran in fear.
But Lao Guan strode forward, grabbed A Fei, and locked him in a chokehold with his arm. With his other hand, he firmly grasped A Fei’s middle finger and with a crack, it broke!
A Fei was slammed hard onto the ground by Lao Guan, writhing in pain and dizziness.
Originally, everyone had come to stop Shui Miao, but now with Lao Guan’s interference and Shui Miao not even moving, their minds became chaotic.
These people were divided into three groups.
The largest group consisted of cultivators. Some had cultivated spiritual energy, some had cultivated immortal energy, and others practiced dark arts. The most formidable among them was Old Huang, who had been frightened by Shui Miao’s wood-element Soul Devouring Force.
The second group consisted of exceptionally talented martial artists. Some were experts in knife fighting, while others excelled with guns—each demonstrating extraordinary proficiency with their chosen weapons. This group had three leaders: Xiao Ju, the firearms expert, who ranked second; A Fei, the skilled knife fighter, ranked third; and a middle-aged man specializing in boxing, known as the Vajra King. His punches were so powerful they could kill a bull instantly.
The third group was the most mysterious, consisting of only three individuals rumored to be psychics.
“Scatter!”
The金刚王 (Vajra King), with a fierce expression, a broad waist, and a massive build, tore off his yellow coat, revealing terrifying muscles, ready to confront Lao Guan.
