Chapter 74: 72. Abhorring Evil Like an Enemy (2/3)

72. Abhorring Evil Like an Enemy (2/3)

"You're just being pretentious, hurry up and strip for me!"

Chen An and the female disciple of the Xuanhuang Sect arrived in front of that house almost at the same time; the moment they arrived, they heard such a loud curse coming from inside.

The female disciple of the Xuanhuang Sect ignored Chen An at the side and stepped forward, kicking the house door directly.

Following that, only a "Bang!" sound rang out!

The thick wooden door was kicked flying.

The female disciple of the Xuanhuang Sect had a cold gaze as she held her Changjian and walked in quickly.

Chen An did not make a sound, silently following behind this Foundation Establishment powerhouse.

"Who is it?!"

A panicked voice rang out from inside the room.

At the same time, a plea for help with a trace of sobbing also rang out: "Save me, save me, this beast wants to rape me!"

Chen An entered the room a step later and saw a tall male cultivator with his upper body bare, as well as a plump female cultivator with disheveled clothing.

The male cultivator had a panicked expression.

The female cultivator looked relieved.

"You piece of trash!"

The female disciple of the Xuanhuang Sect had a fiery temper; without even asking what had happened, she went up and delivered a fierce kick to the male cultivator.

Only a "Bang" sound rang out!

The male cultivator, who looked big and burly, was kicked flying directly by that slender leg of the Xuanhuang Sect female disciple.

He rolled on the ground three times in a row.

Finally, he hit the wall with a "Thud" and stopped.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I beg the fellow Daoist to show mercy and let me go!"

The male cultivator endured the pain and quickly scrambled up from the ground, begging the female disciple of the Xuanhuang Sect for mercy with a face full of fear.

Committing a crime during a special period meant being pressed into service as cannon fodder on the battlefield.

The reason he had dared to assault the female cultivator just now was that he relied on the fact that her home was remote and he wouldn't be discovered while committing the act.

After it was over, he would put on his pants, brush himself off, and leave, then simply refuse to admit it.

Unless a Foundation Establishment powerhouse with great divine abilities arrived, no one would be able to do anything to him then.

But now it was different; he had been caught red-handed, so he could only kneel and beg for mercy.

Otherwise, once sent to the Law Enforcement Hall, what awaited him would be an extremely severe punishment: being pressed into service as cannon fodder on the battlefield.

The female disciple of the Xuanhuang Sect ignored him and instead looked at the female cultivator on the other side, asking: "This fellow Daoist, please tell me the whole story."

The female cultivator was still tidying her clothes; hearing the female disciple of the Xuanhuang Sect say this, she immediately complained:

"Benefactor, this man surnamed Xu is simply a beast!"

"He usually calls my husband brother, but when my husband had no money for rent and was pressed into service on the battlefield to earn a rent-exemption certificate, this beast set his sights on me."

"Every day he came to tell me filthy and obscene things, wanting me to engage in carnal pleasures with him."

"I refused, preferring death over submission, so he tried to force himself on me!"

The female cultivator's face was full of humiliation as she said this.

After hearing this, the female disciple of the Xuanhuang Sect looked at the male cultivator on the ground; seeing that he had no intention of refuting it, she knew the facts were likely just so.

"Fellow Daoist!"

"Everything is negotiable, everything is negotiable!"

"I am an Advanced Tier 1 Talisman Maker; as long as you don't send me to the Law Enforcement Hall, whether you want Spirit Stones or Talismans, I will give them all to you!"

Seeing the expression of the Xuanhuang Sect female disciple darken, the male cultivator immediately chose to beg for mercy by offering wealth to avert disaster.

He was an Advanced Tier 1 Talisman Maker with a bright future ahead; he did not want to go to the battlefield as cannon fodder.

"You don't want to be sent to the Law Enforcement Hall, is that it?"

The female disciple of the Xuanhuang Sect said with a calm expression.

The male cultivator thought she was tempted and wanted Spirit Stones and Talismans, so he immediately smiled and said: "Yes, yes, as long as you don't send me to the Law Enforcement Hall, as long as I have it, you can have whatever you want."

"Is that so?"

As the female cultivator said this, she suddenly swung the Changjian in her hand, swishing across the male cultivator's neck, and said with a voice devoid of emotion: "I don't want much, just your life."

"You... you..."

The male cultivator opened his mouth to say something, but his throat was bubbling with blood, making it difficult to make a sound.

Then, in the next second, he collapsed onto the ground with a thud, his hands clutching his neck tightly as he struggled a few times, and soon he was motionless.

Although he was a powerhouse at the Qi Refining Late Stage, under that sword strike infused with Spirit Qi, he ultimately died quickly.

What is going on?

She just killed him like that?

Seeing this scene before him, Chen An, who had been silently acting as a bystander on the side, couldn't help but be stunned.

Not only him, but the female cultivator on the other side was also stunned.

After a moment of realization.

The female cultivator looked at the female disciple of the Xuanhuang Sect with a panicked expression and urged her: "Benefactor, you must leave quickly; I will handle what comes next, I cannot implicate you!"

"There is no implication."

The female disciple of the Xuanhuang Sect had a calm expression; after speaking, she casually flicked the blood off the blade and slowly sheathed her Changjian.

The female cultivator was anxious and hurriedly advised: "Benefactor, killing someone in the Core Area is a capital offense. Although it is a special period now and it has been changed to being pressed into service on the battlefield, going to the battlefield is actually no different from dying. Benefactor, you should listen to me and leave quickly!"

The female disciple of the Xuanhuang Sect was indifferent; she stepped forward, grabbed one leg of the male cultivator who had already stopped breathing, and dragged him toward the outside of the house.

The female cultivator was terrified at the sight and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her: "Benefactor, what are you doing? Are you tired of living?!"

"In this mere Bamboo Leaf Forest, no one can take the life of me, Shen Qingyi."

After saying this, Shen Qingyi dragged the male cultivator's corpse outside and tossed it onto a tree.

Then, her Changjian left its sheath once more, carving a line of large characters into the tree trunk:

——Those who deceive a friend's wife deserve to die.

After finishing all this, Shen Qingyi sheathed her Changjian and turned to walk in the direction of the Market.

Her retreating figure was extremely dashing.

If she hadn't just announced her name, she would have had the air of a drunken immortal at this moment.

Ten steps to kill a person, a thousand miles without leaving a name.

"What a dashing female cultivator."

"If any man could conquer her and bring her into a gentle embrace, he could probably brag about it for a lifetime."

Chen An watched Shen Qingyi's retreating figure, unable to help but feel a sense of admiration.

He then picked up his pace and followed her toward the Market.

When they walked into the Market and were about to reach Zhenbao Hang, Shen Qingyi stopped her steps, looked back at Chen An, and said: "Fellow Daoist, I see you have been following me all the way; may I ask what the matter is?"

Chen An smiled gently: "Fellow Daoist Shen might have a misunderstanding; we just happen to be going the same way. I am here to find Shopkeeper Liu at Zhenbao Hang to handle some business."

"So that's how it is."

Shen Qingyi nodded, said nothing more, and walked a few steps forward into Zhenbao Hang.

She had some impression of Chen An's face, having seen him in Zhenbao Hang before, and did not suspect that what Chen An said was false.

Chen An walked into Zhenbao Hang a step behind.

After watching Shen Qingyi's figure disappear up the stairs leading to the second floor, he couldn't help but ask Shopkeeper Liu in front of him: "Shopkeeper Liu, how much do you know about that female disciple from the Xuanhuang Sect?"

"Why, Alchemist Chen, are you interested in her?"

Shopkeeper Liu smiled with a lecherous look on his face.

Chen An did not deny it and chose to briefly tell Shopkeeper Liu about the scene he had just witnessed, where Shen Qingyi killed someone without a word.

After hearing this, Shopkeeper Liu did not feel surprised, but instead smiled and told Chen An about Shen Qingyi's character.

Four words: Hating evil like a foe.

And, truly hating evil like a foe!

This Shen Qingyi had been in the Bamboo Leaf Forest for less than half a month, and her hands were already stained with more than ten lives.

Everyone who died at her hands, without exception, was a wicked person who did not follow the rules.

Regardless of whether the evil was great or small, she killed them all without fail.

"So ruthless?"

After hearing these words from Shopkeeper Liu, Chen An couldn't help but feel a bit of hesitation in his heart.

He had originally thought about trying to woo Shen Qingyi.

But after hearing Shopkeeper Liu say this, he knew the other party was a very difficult person to get along with.

It was highly likely she was a paranoid person.

Chen An dared not provoke such a woman, fearing that one day he might end up with the same fate as Brother Cheng, being directly decapitated by her sword, and then having his head held in her hands with a sickly expression.

"Alchemist Chen, you aren't carrying your medicine chest today; are you here to buy something?"

Shopkeeper Liu glanced behind Chen An, and seeing that it was empty, he couldn't help but ask with a look of enthusiasm.

Chen An smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Liu, I have come today to consult with you about applying to join the Treasure Pavilion."

"You have broken through to the Second-tier?"

"Yes, I was lucky enough to break through a few days ago."

"My god!"

Shopkeeper Liu widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

In this tiny Bamboo Leaf Forest, a rogue cultivator Second-tier Alchemist could actually be born?

What a joke!
