Then I'll Resist, Okay?

Jiang Wang heard someone knocking, but he was too lazy to move from his rattan chair.

He hadn't expected the knocker to just climb over the wall and enter.

"It's him!"

Miss Shu put on a fierce expression.

Jiang Wang said indignantly, "I had such high hopes for you, I even brought you to the flower garden and created such a perfect opportunity. In the end, it was all in vain. And now you dare to show your face before me again!"

He had even put on such a brilliant act.

Just thinking about it made him angry.

Ning Shisi was completely bewildered.

What did this mean?

High hopes?

Creating a perfect opportunity?

And it was all in vain?

He looked at Miss Shu hesitantly, quietly pulled her aside, and whispered, "Junior Sister, is this person perhaps interested in you? Even so, you can't say he's a monster. Did he do something excessive to you?"

Thinking of this, Ning Shisi became furious.

If that were true, this person would be even more detestable than a monster!

Miss Shu stood frozen.

Before she could explain, Ning Shisi was swept away by his own assumptions. He directly drew his sword and pointed it at Jiang Wang, "You scoundrel, how dare you pester my Junior Sister? Calling you a monster would be a grave insult to monsters. Take this sword!"

Although Jiang Wang was also bewildered, seeing Ning Shisi lunge with his sword, he suddenly beamed with joy, "Miss Shu, I misunderstood you. So you came to give me a gift."

He had no intention of dodging at all. He even leaned forward slightly, trying to make the sword strike faster.

But this scene, seen by Ning Shisi, made him retract his sword in time.

"I only intended to teach you a lesson, but you want to frame me. What a malicious mind you have."

He certainly couldn't kill people casually, especially not here in the Marquis Mansion. A simple brawl was far less serious than taking a life.

If the Garrison Headquarters got involved, and he didn't want to rely on his influence, he would inevitably end up in prison. That would greatly delay his quest to find immortality. Any unexpected event could be difficult to recover from.

Jiang Wang was anxious. What was going on?

He directly got up from his rattan chair and said with frustration, "I'm a monster, and I'm pestering your Junior Sister. You can just tolerate this? Once a sword is drawn, there's no reason to put it back. If you're a man, come and cut me!"

Ning Shisi took a step back instead, cautiously saying, "Don't come any closer!"

Jiang Wang said irritably, "Since it's come to this, I'll have to take the initiative."

He took a step forward.

Ning Shisi took a step back.

Jiang Wang found the scene very strange. He looked at Miss Shu and said, "Hey, can we be more professional? You said I was a monster, and now you've found a helper. Isn't the goal to kill me? But look, does this atmosphere feel right?"

Miss Shu finally snapped back to reality. She was very confused, "Why are you acting so expectant? What exactly is your scheme?"

Jiang Wang put his hand to his forehead, "I don't have any scheme! You've come to kill me, so I'll just stand here and let you kill me. It's that simple, is it hard to understand? If you really think there's a problem, should I resist?"

He picked up the Long Night Saber with a hint of resignation and swung it around a couple of times, saying, "I'm ready. Come on."

Ning Shisi was shocked, "Are you sick?"

Jiang Wang said calmly, "You're really sharp, you figured that out."

Ning Shisi said to Miss Shu, "Junior Sister, I think you might have made a mistake. How could he be a monster? He's just sick. Perhaps he was pestering you because he was having an episode. We can't bully a patient, can we? Look how pale he is, and he's sweating profusely. How about we help him find a doctor?"

Miss Shu: "..."

Weren't we here to kill a monster?

Why was the current scene so bizarre?

Was Jiang Wang really a monster?

She was lost.

Just then, the gate of the Marquis Mansion was pushed open from the outside.

Shan Qiyu walked in front.

Behind him followed Master Tao, holding a bronze mirror in his hand.

Then came Constable Zhou, leading some yamen runners.

Turning their heads, they saw Jiang Wang holding a saber, with Miss Shu and a strange man with a sword facing him. They were all taken aback.

Shan Qiyu was the first to react. He instantly appeared beside Jiang Wang, looking warily at Ning Shisi and Miss Shu, "Young Master, are you alright?"

Jiang Wang said helplessly, "I wish I wasn't."

Shan Qiyu was confused.

Jiang Wang threw the saber to him and looked at Master Tao, saying, "I suddenly feel like I want you to tell my fortune..."

He opened his mouth to speak, then suddenly wondered if this was good luck or bad luck.

Where was this destined to go wrong?

Master Tao was in a foul mood, his face crestfallen. "I'm not in the mood right now. We'll talk about it later."

Although Constable Zhou felt the atmosphere was strange, the problem of the Wangliang was more pressing. He looked at the bronze mirror Master Tao was holding and said to Jiang Wang, "Young Marquis, the Wangliang is in that bronze mirror. Master Tao is unwilling to cooperate, and we don't want to escalate things. If the Young Marquis has a way to solve it, that would be best."

Master Tao didn't react.

He simply didn't believe Jiang Wang could deal with the Wangliang.

"Hand over the bronze mirror, and you all stand back."

Jiang Wang calmed his mind. Miss Shu was unreliable, but thankfully, there was still a monster.

Constable Zhou took the bronze mirror from Master Tao, with a hint of apology, and handed it to Jiang Wang.

A talisman was stuck to the bronze mirror, presumably to suppress the monster.

Master Tao warned, "Young friend, be cautious. If the talisman is removed, the Wangliang will escape. I can't guarantee I'll be able to suppress it again in time. Why must you get involved in this mess? If you lose your life, who will bear the responsibility?"

He still couldn't figure out what Jiang Wang intended to do.

Monsters were not to be trifled with.

If Jiang Wang really lost his life because of this, he wouldn't be able to stay in Hun City.

He had originally intended to stall for time. When Shan Qiyu found them, Master Tao hadn't refused outright.

But who would have thought that Jiang Wang was actually serious?

Seeing Jiang Wang's hand reaching for the talisman, Master Tao became very nervous and said again, "Young friend, don't be reckless! It's really dangerous!"

Jiang Wang smiled, "I'll take your good words."

Master Tao was stunned.

Was this something a normal person would say?

He immediately lunged towards Jiang Wang.

But Jiang Wang was quick. With a rip, the talisman was torn off.

Master Tao collapsed onto the ground, thinking it was over.

Shan Qiyu was ready to save his master at any moment.

Even though he suspected the Young Marquis might be very strong, he was still very worried in this situation.

On the other hand, the people from the Garrison Headquarters were the most composed.

They knew well of the Young Marquis's feat of defeating Cai Tanggu, so dealing with a mere Wangliang should be a piece of cake.

Jiang Wang continued to hold the bronze mirror, anticipating what would happen next.

The strange flowers and exotic plants around began to sway.

A breeze gradually picked up.

The bronze mirror trembled.

A string of bell-like laughter suddenly echoed.

A terrifying face appeared in the bronze mirror.

The direct visual was horrifying.

Jiang Wang was startled.

He almost threw the bronze mirror away.

He forced himself to remain calm.

It wasn't stimulating enough, let's add more.

Ptooey!

The Wangliang in the bronze mirror was stunned.

Is this a person?

He actually spat at me?

It was enraged.

It bared its fangs and claws, preparing to pounce out of the bronze mirror.

Green energy instantly enveloped Jiang Wang.

The feeling of suffocation was intense.

Here it comes!

Jiang Wang clenched his fist.

He directly punched the green energy, blowing it up.

The Wangliang was dumbfounded.

Before it could react.

Jiang Wang grabbed its scruff.

It struggled desperately.

Screaming wildly.

Jiang Wang slapped it hard.

The Wangliang was dejected.

Its life as a Yao was already so dull.

It feared that throughout history, no other Yao could be found who had been slapped by a human.

"How is this possible?!" Master Tao stared in disbelief at the scene before him. He had spent immense effort capturing this Wangliang, even nearly losing his life.

How could it be like child's play for Jiang Wang?

The Young Marquis is truly terrifying.

This thought arose in the minds of everyone from the Garrison Headquarters, led by Constable Zhou.

Shan Qiyu breathed a sigh of relief.

His guess was correct; the Young Marquis was actually a Cultivator.

For monsters like the Wangliang, even the strongest Martial Artists would find them difficult to handle. They would rather face a Luo Yong or even an Ao Yin, as at least then they could touch and hit them.

As Shan Qiyu was thinking this, he saw Jiang Wang suddenly beckon to him.

When Shan Qiyu walked over, Jiang Wang pressed his head down with his palm.

He carefully sensed the scorching airflow. Although it wasn't as intense as when he rubbed Xiaoyu's head, it was indeed effective.

Shan Qiyu was shocked.

The reason Fourth Realm Martial Artists could contend with Dongming Cultivators was because, at this realm, Martial Artists had refined their physiques to the extreme. Using their bodies as weapons, they could breathe and absorb Qi to condense a breath of True Qi.

This was a rare opportunity.

But Shan Qiyu clearly felt that subtle True Qi was already condensing. Although it ultimately failed to take shape, it was a foundation. This was something he might never achieve on his own in his lifetime.

Jiang Wang observed Shan Qiyu, feeling somewhat disappointed.

Because the other party hadn't broken through his realm.

Perhaps Shan Qiyu's realm was already higher than Xiaoyu's, and his own power wasn't enough, only able to affect lower-realm Martial Artists?

His beautiful wish was shattered.

He had been hoping to boost the realms of all the Black Flame Army soldiers in one go.

Waving for Shan Qiyu to step aside, Jiang Wang turned his attention back to the Wangliang.

"Don't be so dejected, cheer up!" Jiang Wang slapped the Wangliang again, even shoving it back into the bronze mirror.

A scholar could be killed but not humiliated!

The bronze mirror was the Wangliang's natal artifact. As long as it stayed within the mirror, any damage it sustained would instantly recover.

But just as it was about to create illusions and attack Jiang Wang.

An extremely scorching airflow suddenly poured into the bronze mirror, and the Wangliang let out a mournful scream.

Just as it felt like it was going to die, the scorching airflow left the bronze mirror again.

Jiang Wang smiled and said, "You are a Yao with backbone. As long as you kill me, you will be free. A beautiful world lies before you. Don't give up. Try one more time, perhaps you'll succeed."

The Wangliang was furious.

Just as it was about to attack, the scorching airflow struck again.

This repeated.

The Wangliang was terrified.

Even though I'm a Yao, you're not human!

Why is my life as a Yao so tragic?

I was peacefully staying in my bronze mirror, only to be inexplicably captured by a human and tormented day and night.

Finally seeing the light of day again, I have to endure such humiliation.

Can there be a more pathetic Yao in this world than me!
