Looks like you really want me to catch you and have you for three days and three nights!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Insolent!” the girl snapped, her swordplay growing even fiercer. “You’re about to die, and still spouting filth! When I catch you, I’ll cut out your tongue and feed it to dogs!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle intensified further; Black Five kept hurling vulgar insults, trying to provoke her and disrupt her focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl, a true disciple of a great sect, showed no sign of disarray—her attacks remained precise, her only response a colder glint in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens more strikes passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfft! Pfft!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Five finally revealed an opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heavy black blade slowed half a beat too late—he couldn’t block it.

Still not dead?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the girl’s eyes flashed with triumph.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She drew a deep breath and unleashed every ounce of her internal force into her sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade hummed violently, its cold light blazing—she would strike now, with all her strength, to end Black Five’s life!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing this fatal blow, Black Five dared not slacken for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He poured every bit of his internal force into his black blade, which glowed with swirling dark energy as he met the silver sword head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deafening metallic clash exploded across the wasteland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sparks flew everywhere!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Five’s heavy blade was pierced clean through by the silver sword, leaving a gaping notch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade trembled, on the verge of snapping!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, in this clash, he was utterly outmatched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve won...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the girl’s eyes blazed with unhidden elation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To eliminate such a great menace alone—this would count as a major achievement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet at that moment, Black Five’s face showed no fear—only a cruel, triumphant smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl frowned slightly, a chill of unease creeping over her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tiny black shadow shot out from Black Five’s sleeve!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shadow moved like lightning, landing instantly on the girl’s right wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn—it’s...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl’s eyes widened, her face paling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tiny black creature was a spider, pitch-black, with strange markings on its back—the infamous Black Fang Spider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lashed out with her left hand, swift as thunder, aiming to crush it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Fang Spider bit her porcelain-white wrist, then leapt away into the grass, vanishing without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl glanced at the wound oozing black blood—her heart plummeted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A jolt of numbness surged from the bite, racing swiftly through her meridians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came a searing, freezing pain—like ten thousand ants gnawing her bones—her entire arm stiffened, frozen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her right hand lost all strength—her sword clattered heavily to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seizing the chance, Black Five grinned, swung his fist backward, and slammed it into her shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sharp sound of snapping bone pierced the silent night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl’s body flew like a cut kite, crashing to the ground, spewing a mouthful of crimson blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lying there, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief and despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been so close—just one more thrust...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahahaha! You didn’t even know who you were chasing, and you dared come alone to capture me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Five sneered, his tiny green eyes roaming over the girl’s body, his tongue sliding out to lick his dry lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl shuddered under his gaze, every hair on her body standing on end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dread colder than death surged from her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this ugly beast so much as touched her with a finger, she’d rather die a thousand, ten thousand times!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You vile, despicable beast! Using poison insects to ambush me? If you’ve got guts, kill me now!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl screamed with all her remaining strength, but her voice was now a feeble whisper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill you? I couldn’t bear to!” Black Five chuckled darkly. “Once I’ve got you, I’ll have you for three days and three nights without stopping! A true disciple of Tianqing Sect—hah! I’ve never tasted one before!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, he tore off his bloodstained clothes, revealing his bloated, fatty body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man was truly a lust-crazed beast—he ignored the two sword wounds on his body, determined to ravage her right there in the wasteland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You monster... if you dare touch me... you...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl realized, in despair, she no longer had the strength to curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Fang Spider’s poison had already paralyzed half her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Five leered as he leaned down, inhaling the girl’s faint, sweet fragrance—drawing a deep, greedy breath, his face suffused with ecstasy:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good, good! A virgin! Master Five loves virgins best!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come on! Let Master Five have a kiss first!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Black Five draw near, the girl’s eyes filled with tears, and she closed them in despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As everyone knows, a man is most vulnerable when he’s about to commit evil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Five was lowering his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shhh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A piercing, razor-sharp whistling tore through the night’s silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a blade’s glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blade’s glow like moonlight cascading—beautiful beyond words, yet chilling enough to freeze the soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It emerged from the darkness, tracing a perfect arc, striking precisely at Black Five’s neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thin line of blood appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Five’s ugly head separated from his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puff!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood gushed from the severed neck like a fountain, splattering the girl’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The head rolled twice through the air before landing with a thud beside her on the grass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl, who had been tightly shut-eyed, bracing for unspeakable horror, suddenly felt a few drops of warm liquid fall onto her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fighting back her fear and despair, she slowly cracked open her eyelids just a sliver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, her eyes flew wide open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What met her gaze was a scene she would never forget.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a moment ago, the tyrannical Black Fifth had been severed at the neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His head lay beside her, its face still frozen in a grotesque, dying sneer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the architect of this carnage? A tall, thin old man with snow-white hair and a cold, rigid face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood there, gripping a curved blade like a crescent moon, its tip dripping blood drop by drop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl’s heart nearly stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Black Fifth dead, she inwardly exhaled—but her wariness did not waver an inch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An old man appearing out of nowhere in this wilderness—his allegiance was impossible to tell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew full well how irresistible her body was to men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Qingqing Sect, her suitors numbered countless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he was merely an old man, seemingly long past his prime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what if he couldn’t control himself...?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poisoned and helpless, she remained in grave danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl fixed her gaze on the old man before her, her pulse racing to her throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, it seemed she had worried needlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man merely glanced at her once, then turned his eyes back to Black Fifth’s headless corpse, swiftly beginning to search it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He showed not the slightest intention to touch her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nor did he show any intention to save her.\u003C\u002Fp>",1555,"2026-06-20T12:57:27.461Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","1e7419113b2bbb56a68684b2c164ee02a6f5a22c7901c6ca487db4249e188bfb","don-t-mock-the-poor-old-man-gains-a-year-of-cult-chapter-42","don-t-mock-the-poor-old-man-gains-a-year-of-cult-chapter-40",268,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdon-t-mock-the-poor-old-man-gains-a-year-of-cult-cover.jpg"]
