Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 475: Chapter 7 Two beauties! Gradually Rising _3

The shock wave of blade energy exploded, lifting the falling hair strands of “Chun Ying”, revealing her flower-like beautiful face.

However, at this moment, there was no trace of tender sentiment in her charming eyes, only ruthless hostility dyed with blood and distortion.

It turns out, this courtesan “Chun Ying”, is the real “Flower Scorpion”!

However, how easily could Wang Luoqiu’s knife be blocked?

Having already awakened her Double Bloodline during the Qi Refinement Realm, after advancing to the Spirit Platform Realm, she had a threefold bloodline. Her bloodline power surged, and coupled with the fact that she had awakened a War Body bloodline, her strength far surpassed that of an ordinary mid-stage cultivator in the Spirit Platform Realm.

Seeing that the Flower Scorpion actually blocked her blade energy, Wang Luoqiu’s eyes narrowed, her hand strength instantly increased tenfold.

“Bang!”

With a dull thud, “Chun Ying” was instantly repelled by the massive force and flew backwards, her back violently crashing into the wall on the other side of the bed.

“Rumble”. The wall instantly cracked.

However, Flower Scorpion, after all, was a cultivator at the mid-stage of the Spirit Platform Realm with abundant combat experience. She had already quickly adjusted her posture while being repelled and used Mysterious Energy to lessen the impact, thus she wasn’t seriously injured.

However, even so, she still felt her right hand, which was holding the sword, tingling slightly. Her blood welled up inside her, her throat tasted bloody sweet, and even the circulation of the Mysterious Energy within her body was somewhat impeded.

She knew that this was due to the large discrepancy in strength, and her face instantly turned ugly.

She had anticipated that disciples from the Academic Palace would be sent to kill her, but she hadn’t expected that the one who found her this time would be this strong. This girl’s displayed power didn’t seem like an ordinary disciple of the Academic Palace, perhaps…

Flower Scorpion’s thoughts turned quickly, and she suddenly let out a cold laugh, “I didn’t expect that I, ‘Flower Scorpion’, could actually draw out an Direct Disciple from the Academic Palace to personally pursue and hunt me. What an honour.”

Wang Luoqiu sneered, “My name is Wang Luoqiu, the Direct Disciple under Master Xuanyao. When you arrive in the netherworld for judgment, don’t report the wrong name.”

Flower Scorpion’s heart jolted.

Her initial intention was merely to bluff to figure out the identity of the other party, who could have thought that this young woman was indeed a direct disciple?

Even though she was only a Spirit Platform Realm Direct Disciple.

Every person who had the chance to become a direct disciple of the Academic Palace, wasn’t every one of them a proud child of heaven with outstanding bloodline, mental aptitude, and strength? How was she, the flower scorpion, able to handle such an opponent?

However, before she could react, Wang Luoqiu had already launched another attack with her knife.

“Die.”

The fierce blade energy traversed outwards, directly attacked flower scorpion’s face, seeming as if it would slit her in half instantly.

Flower Scorpion’s face changed drastically. Without thinking, she retreated hastily and simultaneously grabbed the man beside the bed, her short sword against his neck.

The man’s face immediately turned white from fright, his body trembling.

Flower Scorpion let out a cold laugh, glanced at Wang Luoqiu threateningly, “If you move again, I’ll kill him.”

However, there was no change in Wang Luoqiu’s expression, even the radiating blade energy didn’t falter, she didn’t show any intention of stopping, as if she didn’t care about the man’s life in her hands at all.

The knife light swept across the air, and in an instant, it was right in front of her.

Flower Scorpion’s face changed dramatically.

She couldn’t believe that this young woman didn’t even hesitate, not giving her any chance to take advantage of any opening.

Left with no choice, she had to mobilize her mysterious energy, her sword held horizontally, using all her energy to confront this attack.

But her move in defense was even more rushed than last time, neither her strength nor her Mysterious Energy had been marshalled properly. Just as her sword light met the knife light, she was shocked to spit out a mouthful of blood.

She was again repelled, flying backwards, she even smashed the wall behind her, and the man in her hands was thrown to the side.

Numerous loose stones fell with a “rumble”.

Flower Scorpion was quick to react, she sprung up from the ground, fending off the falling stones with a hand behind her, but was still splashed with scattered dust.

Her pretty face was smeared with mud and dust, but it still couldn’t hide the shock and disbelief on her face. “Have you gone mad?” she cried. “You’re a disciple of the Academic Palace, and yet you disregard the lives of innocent cultivators?!”

Wang Luoqiu sneered, “Why don’t you take another look at what you’re holding?”

The Flower Scorpion reflexively turned her head, only to find that what had fallen to the ground next to her was not a man at all. It was clearly a wooden puppet covered in runes!

Her face drained of color: “How is this possible?!”

Wang Luoqiu’s lips curled into a secretive smile.

What else could it be? Of course, this was Wang Luo Jing’s scheme.

Both of them had been influenced by Wang Shouzhe since childhood, and they deeply understood the necessity of being well-prepared when facing enemies. As soon as they discovered the whereabouts of the Flower Scorpion, they had already anticipated her possible reactions and would not have left such an obvious weakness unaddressed.

The puppet was a specialty of the Valley of Ten Thousand Butterflies. When used in conjunction with the illusion techniques of the valley, it could create convincing deceptions.

She had not killed outright but instead gave the Flower Scorpion a chance to respond, naturally to buy time for Luo Jing to move the people far enough and clear the other people in the Lian Hua Floor too.

After all, even if she had no regard for the man, as a direct disciple of the Academic Palace, she still needed to consider the Palace’s reputation and not leave room for others to criticize.

And at this point, without any bystanders, it was naturally the Flower Scorpion’s time to die.

By this time, the Flower Scorpion had also finally abandoned any hope of luck.

With a sudden raise of her hand, she used her Mysterious Energy to lift the surrounding debris and fiercely threw it at Wang Luoqiu. Then, under the cover of the flying debris, she attempted to escape.

However, before she could escape out the window, a purple butterfly suddenly flitted past her face.

Powder, almost impossible to observe with the naked eye, fell, and she felt a wave of dizziness. She lost consciousness and fell out of the sky.

At the same time, a clear bell rang out from outside the window.

The Flower Scorpion instinctively looked up, only to see a charming shadow of deep purple flying across the night sky.

In one hand, she held a worm flute, with purple butterflies surrounding her. She seemed to traverse the sky effortlessly and was at the eaves of the window in the blink of an eye.

It was Wang Luo Jing.

As she landed, numerous large Purple Crystal Spirit Peaks burst from the crate on her back, roaring towards the Flower Scorpion like an engine in full throttle.

Almost simultaneously, Wang Luoqiu’s sword light had also arrived behind the Flower Scorpion.

The Flower Scorpion’s face changed dramatically, and her heart was as cold as if it had fallen into an ice cave.

Where could the Flower Scorpion escape when faced with the combined forces of Luo Jing and Luo Qiu? Not even half a moment had passed before the Flower Scorpion became a corpse.

The lonely night wind made her body look particularly bleak.

“No wonder no one could ever find the Flower Scorpion. Who would have thought she was acting as a courtesan in a brothel? That’s a unique hobby,” Wang Luoqiu couldn’t help but comment as she looked at the scene before her.

“It’s not necessarily a hobby,” Wang Luo Jing said casually, “I heard there’s a special dual cultivation method that can enhance one’s cultivation through this method. Perhaps she was just practicing.”

Wang Luoqiu looked puzzled, “Where did you hear about this? How come I don’t know?”

Wang Luo Jing: “…”

Could she say that she had heard it when she was “accidentally” passing by Water Moon Pavilion?

Forget it. Better to save some face for Fourth Brother. Such embarrassing words, she really can’t muster to say them out loud.

Regardless, they were both very pleased to have defeated the Flower Scorpion, who was ranked 19th on the blacklist. Although they both had family subsidies and direct disciple subsidies, the resources consumed for accelerating their cultivation were significant.

The five thousand study points split between them could exchange for quite a few precious Dan medicines.
