The well suddenly erupted with a thunderous boom, the ground swelling up over three feet as lightning bolted from within, soaring into the sky for over thirty feet. The electrical display, like iron trees in silver bloom, was a breathtaking sight.
Chen Shi dodged to the side, and nine silver needles flew silently past him, striking the doors. The deep and wealthy residence’s doors exploded with a resounding bang, their residual power alarming.
At this moment, Black Pot had just caught hold of something dark, not having managed to put it on, while Hu Feifei had also grabbed her hat. The five women had already lost their lives.
Chen Shi walked past their bodies, crossing the collapsed gates, headed towards the granny.
The granny hadn’t expected Chen Shi to make a move at this moment, let alone act so quickly. The five top experts of Rouge Lane were dead in an instant, and even the silver needles crafted by the young master proved completely useless.
Chen Shi’s aura surged, bearing the imposing might of having slain five Nascent Soul experts, the terrifying murderous intent hit the granny squarely in the face, blowing her temples’ locks of hair backward.
The dried yellow leaves on the ground rustled, stirred by the killing intent, blowing into the courtyard magnificent with scenery. They fluttered the light clothes of the girls within, revealing youthful and beautiful bodies.
The killing intent grew ever more pronounced.
The granny’s hand rested on a little girl’s head, sighing, she said, "Chen Shi, stop there, or I’ll have no choice but to kill the little mongrel."
She could tell that Chen Shi really wanted to save the little girl, which is why she repeatedly used the girl’s life to pressure Chen Shi, both overtly and covertly. She couldn’t seduce Chen Shi with beauty, but what else is there for a woman to control a man besides beauty?
She thoroughly enjoyed this sensation of controlling men, that feeling of watching a man bend and twist in struggle before her, now yielding, now resisting, brought her indescribable pleasure.
Chen Shi’s steps paused briefly, then resumed as he walked forward while speaking softly, "Don’t be afraid, little sister. Your brother couldn’t protect you in this life, may you be reborn into a good family in the next."
The granny felt a chill down her spine.
This man was absolutely not afraid of her using the little girl as a threat!
Not in the slightest!
Chen Shi stood still, the Eight Extremes and the Golden Core Field opened in perfect unison, eight gates standing at his sides, roughly twelve feet from him.
From within the gates shone divine orbs, tugging at his Golden Core.
His Golden Core Field was several times larger than that of a regular cultivator, and it didn’t fall short of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator’s Nascent Soul Field!
The granny only managed to glimpse the opening of his field before the doors of the deep estate she was in had already shattered to pieces. Chen Shi stepped forward and threw a punch, the thunderous sound reverberating, rolling and tumbling like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, deafening!
This one punch, with just the sound of thunder, could shatter the souls of slightly weaker cultivators!
Not daring to be negligent, she had no time to kill the little girl called mongrel; she leaped up, activating a Mysterious Skill.
When the skill was in motion, her whole body shone brilliantly, her flesh gleaming with golden light as her body rapidly expanded amidst crackling sounds.
Already quite tall, taller than Chen Shi by a head, she now grew even taller, towering over the wall, instantly surpassing ten feet in height. Her bones and muscles grew rapidly, pulling her skin taut with a sensation of splitting, as though any moment her skin might burst!
In an instant, she became like a female Bodhisattva, her entire being transforming from a sultry mature woman to an emaciated, sallow figure, from a commonly sought after madam to one exuding an almost Buddhist sanctity and solemnity.
She struck out with her palm, as large as a fan, to meet Chen Shi’s lightning-laden punch.
Her palm force erupted, a divine niche situated behind her head, and within the niche sat the Divine Embryo, with the Nascent Soul standing over a foot tall, holding several times more Qi-Blood than the other women’s Nascent Souls!
