Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Capítulo 1672: Chapter 1665: Joining Forces

Listening to Avril’s words, Lu Tianxing’s expression didn’t change much. Instead, he quietly watched Avril and pondered for a long time before finally speaking, “Alright, I can agree to help you, but you must agree to one condition.”

This was Lu Tianxing’s answer after careful consideration. Just as he said, he was already locked in a life-and-death struggle with the Church, with almost no possibility of resolving their hatred. A major battle between them was inevitable, and it would be a fight to the death.

Moreover, Avril is the vessel prepared by Pope Edward, and whether he lets her return or not, Edward will never let him go. Killing Avril will make Edward pursue him relentlessly, because as the saying goes, cutting off someone’s money is like killing their parents. For a Martial Artist, interrupting their chance for a breakthrough is a vendetta that ends in death.

If he doesn’t kill Avril and she returns to the Church as Edward’s vessel, once Edward uses her to break through to the invincible realm of an Earthly Immortal, he might come after him immediately.

Therefore, no matter how he chooses now, Edward will not let him go. With that being the case, there’s nothing to hesitate about, and he might as well keep Avril for his own use. As the saying goes, disrupting the enemy’s plans is the best way to strike at them.

Furthermore, if he truly subdues Avril and adds Angel’s Morgan Family to the mix, with two forces united in the Western World, even if he can’t stay in China, he can escape to the West, and no one will be able to do anything to him. The entire Western World would be his backyard.

“What condition do you want me to agree to?” Avril asked without any hesitation after hearing Lu Tianxing’s words.

“Take this Soul Devouring Pill, and I’ll agree to your request.”

Lu Tianxing slowly raised his hand, opened his five fingers, and with an air grab, the backpack hanging on the clothes rack seemed remotely controlled. It unzipped, and a small porcelain bottle flew out, landing in Lu Tianxing’s hand: “I think you should know what the Soul Devouring Pill is. As long as you take it, whether I’ve reached the late stage of Mythical when Edward decides to act against you, I’ll help you. Of course, you can choose to refuse, but if you refuse, then we’ll part ways…”

Lu Tianxing’s voice was calm. Although he thought of turning Avril into his woman, he didn’t believe he was charming enough to make this woman commit to him just by sleeping with her a few times. Since that was the case, the best approach would be to control this woman or kill Avril.

“I accept.”

After hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Avril’s body trembled slightly. Although Lu Tianxing said nothing beyond “parting ways,” Avril understood clearly that the consequence of parting ways meant her death. Lu Tianxing wouldn’t let her return to the Church, as she was Edward’s vessel, and once Edward broke through to the Earthly Immortal realm, who could stop him?

Taking a deep breath, Avril hesitated not even a bit and directly took the Soul Devouring Pill from Lu Tianxing’s hand without thinking, swallowing it.

Seeing Avril’s action, Lu Tianxing spoke again slowly, “Avril, I think you know the effects of the Soul Devouring Pill better than I do, so I won’t say much. I just hope you’ll remember: you’d better not try to mess with me, or I won’t mind making sure you die without a burial place. I hope you’ll understand clearly and not deceive yourself.”

“Rest assured, I’m not someone who bites the hand that feeds. As long as you kill Edward for me, I can help you take control of the Church, letting Vatican become your backyard.” After hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Avril’s expression wavered slightly, and she spoke calmly.

Although Avril’s voice was still cold, it no longer carried the icy tone it had just moments ago.

“That’s good, come on, get up! Come to the bathroom and scrub my back. Speaking of which, I haven’t yet enjoyed the service of a Holy Daughter of the Holy See!”

Lu Tianxing glanced at Avril and said no more. He stood up from the sofa, casually picked up a towel nearby and wrapped it around his waist, heading to the bathroom.

Looking at Lu Tianxing’s back, Avril bit her lip, her face showing a complex expression. Finally, she gritted her teeth, stood up from the ground, and followed Lu Tianxing into the bathroom.

Her body had already been occupied by Lu Tianxing; now it was just helping him scrub his back, nothing more.

In her heart, Avril constantly comforted herself, and only this way did she feel a slight sense of peace.

…

As night fell, every city lit up with colorful neon lights, enveloping the noisy world within the city, announcing the coming of a colorful nightlife to its inhabitants.

Today’s event at the Great Wall, although it was ultimately suppressed by the Yanhuang Group, didn’t spread much. Even ordinary people only knew that a film crew was shooting at the Great Wall, but those who were powerful and influential couldn’t be kept in the dark about these events.

At this moment, in Qin Island, in the Eight Great Passes Villa District, inside a villa with classical charm.

An elderly man sat in the pavilion, a set of purple tea utensils placed in front of him. In his right hand, he held a teacup, gently sipping the tea, his gaze falling on the raindrops outside the pavilion. Occasionally, he closed his eyes, seemingly savoring the sweet fragrance of the tea, or perhaps listening to the sound of raindrops hitting the leaves.

The raindrops gathered together, dripping through the gaps in the pavilion onto the ground, the sound creating a sense of calmness, enhanced by the lights surrounding the villa, giving an almost dreamlike quality.

“Once the winds and clouds of the mountains and rivers rise, it’s an eternal calamity, hard to extinguish, who stains the three-footed sword with blood? Tianxing, if you succeed this time, there will be few under heaven who can stand against you.”

The elderly man gently placed the teacup on the table, looked at the scene of the pouring rain outside, and muttered softly to himself, a trace of worry on his face that he couldn’t hide.

“Boom!” “Boom!”

Just at this moment, the sound of heavy footsteps came from outside. The elderly man looked up, and soon, a figure entered his view. The steps were heavy, splashing water on the ground. Although it was pouring rain, the man walked without a single raindrop touching him other than underfoot.

“Cangwu, you’re back. How is the situation in Beijing now?” The elderly man looked at the newcomer and slowly asked.

It turned out this person was none other than Cangwu, who had hurried back from Beijing to Qin Island. He knew well that the elderly man was very concerned about matters in Beijing, and since the elderly man disliked using modern communication tools, Cangwu rushed back as soon as the incident in Beijing was resolved.

“Master, the situation in Beijing has been resolved. The Young Master is fine now.” Cangwu immediately replied upon hearing the elder’s words.

The elderly man nodded slightly upon hearing Cangwu’s words: “Good, as long as it’s fine. Cangwu, did you take action?”

Cangwu nodded upon hearing this: “I did. The other side had two experts at the late stage of mythical level; one was already at the peak of the late-stage mythical level. I had no choice but to act.”

“Did any Beijing families intervene this time?”

“I’m not sure. Besides the Church, the Holy Mountain, and the American Superhero Team, before I left, none of the families intervened in this matter, though the third generation of the Han Family brought some people to help the Young Master.”

“The Han Family, it seems the old fox of the Han Family has figured something out.”

The elder’s eyes flashed with a light: “Cangwu, you’ve met with Tianxing. What is your opinion of Tianxing?”

“Opinion?”

Cangwu clearly didn’t expect the elder to ask him this, hesitated slightly, and said: “Very frightening.”

“Frightening?”

The elder was slightly stunned, then smiled and said: “Cangwu, tell me your reason.”

After hearing the elder’s words, Cangwu pondered for a moment, organized his thoughts, and said: “Although the Young Master is not as strong as I am, for some reason, he always gives me a very frightening feeling, as if facing a fierce beast. I can even say that if I were in the same realm as the Young Master, I might not last long in his hands.”

“Once the Young Master reaches the late stage of mythical level, I have a feeling that with my strength, I might not be able to do anything to the Young Master. On the contrary, there is a seventy percent chance I could die in his hands. More importantly, although the Young Master is clearly at the middle-stage mythical level, the quality of the Young Master’s True Qi is very terrifying, far exceeding that of a typical middle-stage mythical level, even compared to some late-stage mythical level True Qi, it is even more terrifying. What’s more, if you engage in a life-and-death battle with the Young Master, if you can’t kill the Young Master in one blow, he will use this pressure to transform his strength further.”

Cangwu’s tone became more solemn as he spoke. This was the most terrifying aspect of Lu Tianxing. Imagine if you were just facing an opponent with a similar or even weaker strength than yours, and suddenly their strength became stronger, even stronger than yours. How would you feel? It feels like you went to a bar, defeated countless opponents, attracted a beautiful woman, and as you were about to engage in something, she suddenly pulled out a gun bigger than yours. How would you feel? It would be incredibly frustrating, making you want to die.

“You’re saying he can stimulate his potential in life-and-death situations, allowing his strength to transform?” The elderly man asked Cangwu sternly.

“Indeed.”

Cangwu solemnly nodded.
