On the way back to the Jiang Family, Jiang Li's face was ashen, his brows furrowed, and he was clearly displeased.

He had never felt so wronged in his entire life!

Being intimidated by a woman was one thing, and he couldn't do anything about her for the moment!

Damn it!

The more Jiang Li thought about it, the angrier he became.

Just then, a ball rolled to his feet.

Jiang Li looked up and saw a delicate little girl running towards his feet, reaching out to pick up the ball on the ground.

"Hm?"

"Did I, this young master, permit you to take it?"

Jiang Li stepped on the ball, frowned, and said coldly to the little girl.

The little girl stood frozen in fear, unsure of what to do. She mustered her courage and timidly pointed at the ball under her feet, saying:

"Big brother, th-this is my ball..."

"C-can you give it back to me...?"

"Your ball? Hmph!"

"Do you know your ball has defiled this young master's shoes!"

Jiang Li's voice was stern and severe. He stomped on the ball, crushing it, and then slapped the little girl mercilessly across the face!

He was already furious!

He might as well take his anger out on this clueless girl!

The little girl was sent flying several meters away, her entire face swollen and unrecognizable. Blood streamed from her nose and mouth, and she could only lie on the ground, crying out with sobs...

"Wuwuwu... Mama... Mama..."

Jiang Li seemed unsatisfied and strode towards the little girl.

Behind him, a group of guards were still showing mocking smiles and fawning flattery.

"Young Master has excellent palm technique! His cultivation must have advanced considerably!"

"Of course, that's our Jiang Family's Young Master, gifted with extraordinary talent~"

"The number one person in Nanli City, no, in the world!"

The surrounding crowd, seeing Jiang Li's brutal treatment of a little girl, were all indignant and couldn't bear to watch.

They clenched their fists tightly, but there was nothing they could do.

It was hard to believe that a cultivator would take pride in bullying a little girl!

Although Jiang Li's cultivation was poor, if the little girl wasn't treated promptly, that slap could have been life-threatening!

What a true beast!

Jiang Li greatly enjoyed the awe he inspired in the surrounding crowd and was also very pleased with the flattery from his guards. He proudly held his head high and stood in front of the little girl, raising his foot high!

Seeing that Jiang Li seemed unwilling to stop and was truly intent on killing the little girl, a young woman dressed in blue and white couldn't help but place her hand on the hilt of her sword at her waist. She stood up, wanting to intervene, but was held back by her companion.

"Su Yi, don't be rash."

"He's Jiang Li from the Jiang Family. Even Nanli Academy finds it difficult to provoke the Jiang Family..."

"The Jiang Family has powerful backing..."

"Are we just going to stand by and watch that scumbag kill that little girl?!"

Su Yi retorted sharply to her companion.

If a cultivator couldn't even save the dying and heal the injured, and uphold justice, what was the point of their cultivation!

Her companion was rendered speechless and could not refute her.

Just as Su Yi was arguing with her companion, a woman quickly ran to Jiang Li's feet, knelt before him, and shielded her child in her arms, crying and begging:

"Young Master Jiang! My child is ignorant and unintentionally offended you. Please be merciful and spare her!"

Jiang Li frowned, about to kick the woman away. However, he noticed that the woman still possessed a youthful charm and had some beauty. A lecherous smile spread across his face, and he changed his mind.

Jiang Li bent down and leaned closer to the woman, his lecherous gaze roaming over her body. He chuckled sinisterly and said, "If you want me to spare her, it's possible. It depends on your sincerity~"

"Sincerity...?"

The woman murmured in confusion.

Her family was not wealthy, so she had no money or anything that would catch Jiang Li's eye.

It wasn't until Jiang Li's lewd voice whispered in her ear that the woman's face turned instantly pale.

"Madam, you'll do anything for your child, won't you?"

He originally had no interest in married women, looking down on "used goods," and even less on women with only a modicum of beauty.

But as soon as he thought of Luo Ruying, whom he had just met, Jiang Li couldn't help but feel restless. He suddenly wanted to try the taste of married women too...

The woman stood there in despair, completely at a loss.

Ordinary families like theirs couldn't resist the Jiang family's tyranny at all...

Seeing that the woman didn't answer, Jiang Li simply reached out and grabbed her, intending to drag her away by force.

At this moment, the middle-aged man, the child's father, heard the news and rushed over. His clothes were tattered, his hands were rough and calloused, clearly a laborer.

When the man saw his daughter on the ground, tears immediately streamed down his face. Seeing Jiang Li dragging his wife, he immediately ran over and knelt down to beg:

"Young Master Jiang! Please spare my wife and daughter!"

"What did they do wrong? If you want to punish someone, punish me!"

"Get lost!"

"Don't disturb this young master's mood!"

"I'll return her to you after I'm done with her!"

Jiang Li kicked the middle-aged man aside and forcibly dragged the woman away.

Su Yi, who was standing nearby, could no longer watch. She drew her long sword and prepared to stop Jiang Li!

The moment Su Yi drew her sword, a ghostly figure moved at extreme speed, weaving through the guards behind Jiang Li!

Did something just pass by them?

All the guards looked confused. The next second, their entire bodies split open along numerous cracks, cut into several pieces!

Blood gushed out instantly, and splashes of blood rained down!

Everyone stood there stunned, no one knowing what had happened!

In an instant, dozens of Jiang Li's guards were all beheaded!

"Ahhhhhh!"

"Kill, someone's killing!"

The onlookers were terrified and immediately scattered and fled.

Su Yi and the others were also stunned and confused. They turned to look and saw a figure in a bamboo hat, with a graceful, slender waist, holding a winding snake sword, standing in the rain of blood...!

This person is so strong!

The first reaction of Su Yi and the others was an inexplicable, deep fear of this person!

They couldn't even track this person's movements!

The Sky Swallowing Python, holding the Immortal Sword, slowly walked towards Jiang Li step by step.

Jiang Li had already fallen to the ground in terror. He repeatedly shouted to his surroundings:

"Old Zhao! Save me quickly!"

Zhao Zhuohao leaped out and blocked Jiang Li, staring at the mysterious woman before him with a look of dread. He spoke:

"May I ask who you are?!"

"Why are you attacking my Jiang family!"

Cold sweat dripped from Zhao Zhuohao's forehead as he fixed his gaze on the Sky Swallowing Python.

At this moment, he felt an unprecedented fear!

This fear was even greater than what he felt when he saw Luo Ruying earlier!

He had been watching Jiang Li from the shadows, but he hadn't seen this person make a move!

Before he could even react, everyone had already died by her sword!

Being able to achieve this level meant that the other party's cultivation and strength were far superior to his!

He was in the Immortal Transformation Realm, after all, one of the top cultivators in the entire Southern Continent!

The Sky Swallowing Python was too lazy to waste words with Zhao Zhuohao. Her cold snake eyes narrowed, and she coldly pronounced his death sentence.

"My master has ordered it, you must die!"
