By Order of My Lord, You Must Die!

On the way back to the Jiang Family, Jiang Li wore a gloomy expression the entire time, his brows furrowed and his face full of displeasure.

From childhood to adulthood, he had never suffered such humiliation!

Being frightened by a woman was one thing, but for the time being, there was nothing he could do to her!

Damn it!

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

Just then, a leather ball rolled to his feet.

Jiang Li looked up and saw a delicate little girl run over to him, reaching down to pick up the ball on the ground.

"Hm?"

"Did this Young Master give you permission to take it?"

Jiang Li stepped on the ball and coldly addressed the little girl with a frown.

The little girl stood frozen in fear, at a complete loss. Gathering her courage, she timidly pointed at the ball beneath his foot and said:

"Big Brother, th-that's my ball..."

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

"Your ball? Hmph!"

"Do you know your ball has sullied this Young Master's shoes?!"

Jiang Li spoke with fierce severity, crushing the ball beneath his foot before ruthlessly slapping the little girl across the face!

He happened to be in the middle of a rage!

He might as well vent it on this little brat who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth!

The little girl was sent flying several meters away. Her entire face was swollen beyond recognition, blood streaming from her mouth and nose as she could only lie on the ground and sob weakly...

"Wuwuwu... Mommy... Mommy..."

Jiang Li seemingly still had not vented enough anger and strode toward the little girl.

The guards behind him wore mocking smiles, fawning over him shamelessly.

"Young Master, what an excellent palm technique! Your cultivation must have improved greatly again!"

"Of course! He is the Young Master of our Jiang Family, blessed with extraordinary talent!"

"The foremost person in Nanli City—no, the entire world!"

Seeing Jiang Li be so vicious toward a little girl, the surrounding crowd was filled with righteous indignation and could hardly bear to watch.

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

It was difficult to believe that a cultivator could take pride in bullying a little girl!

Though Jiang Li's cultivation was terrible, if the little girl was not treated in time after that slap, her life would likely be in danger!

He was truly a fucking beast!

Jiang Li greatly enjoyed the awe of the surrounding crowd and found the flattery of the guards behind him quite pleasing. Raising his head proudly, he stood before the little girl and lifted his foot high!

Seeing that Jiang Li seemed unwilling to let the matter rest and truly intended to put the little girl to death, a young woman in green and white robes could not help gripping the hilt of the saber at her waist. She rose to stop him, but a companion beside her held her back.

"Su Yi, don't be impulsive."

"He is Jiang Li of the Jiang Family. Even Nanli Academy cannot easily provoke the Jiang Family..."

"The force behind the Jiang Family is immense..."

"Are we supposed to just stand here and watch that scum kill that little girl?!"

Su Yi sharply rebuked her companion.

If, as a cultivator, one could not even save the dying and heal the wounded, uphold justice, and support the righteous path, then what meaning was there in cultivation!

Her companion was left speechless by her words, unable to argue back.

While Su Yi and her companion argued, a woman hurried to Jiang Li's feet, knelt before him, and shielded the child in her arms as she tearfully pleaded:

"Young Master Jiang! The child doesn't understand. She offended you unintentionally. Please show mercy and spare her!"

Jiang Li frowned, about to kick the woman away, when he noticed that she still retained some charm and had a few traces of beauty. A lewd smile spread across his face, and he changed his mind.

Jiang Li bent down close to the woman. His filthy gaze roamed over her body as he gave a wicked smile.

"This Young Master can spare her, but that depends on your sincerity~"

"Sincerity...?"

The woman murmured in confusion.

Her family was not wealthy. Where could she find any money or anything Jiang Li might fancy?

Only when Jiang Li's lecherous voice softly echoed beside her ear did the woman's face turn deathly pale.

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

He had originally held no interest in married women. He disdained secondhand goods, much less a woman with only a few traces of beauty like this one.

But when he thought of Luo Ruying, whom he had just seen, his entire body could not help but stir with restlessness. All of a sudden, he wanted to taste a married woman too...

The woman stood rooted to the spot in despair, completely unsure what to do for a time.

Ordinary families like theirs simply could not resist the Jiang Family's tyrannical lechery...

Seeing that the woman did not answer, Jiang Li simply reached out, grabbed her, and tried to forcibly drag her away.

At that moment, the child's middle-aged father rushed over after hearing the news. His clothes were worn and tattered, his thick hands covered in calluses—a farmer through and through.

Seeing his daughter on the ground, the man immediately burst into tears. Then, seeing Jiang Li dragging his wife away, he rushed over and knelt to beg:

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

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

"Get lost!"

"Don't disturb this Young Master's pleasure!"

"This Young Master will return her after I'm done!"

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

Su Yi, standing nearby, could no longer bear to watch. She drew her longsword and was about to step forward to stop Jiang Li!

Yet at the very instant Su Yi drew her sword, a ghostly figure flashed through Jiang Li's guards from behind at astonishing speed!

Had something just passed by them?

Every guard wore a confused expression. The next second, their entire bodies split apart along countless cracks, severed into several pieces!

Blood erupted in an instant, raining down like crimson blossoms!

Everyone stood dumbfounded, and no one knew what had happened!

All they saw was that in a single instant, Jiang Li's dozens of guards had all been slain!

"Ahhhhh!"

"M-murder!"

The onlookers were so frightened that they immediately scattered and fled.

Su Yi and the others were also stunned and confused. Turning their heads, they saw a figure wearing a conical hat, with a graceful, serpentine waist, standing amid the rain of blood while holding a winding Snake Sword...!

This person was powerful!

Their first reaction was an inexplicable, profound fear of this person!

They could not even capture her figure!

Sky Swallowing Python held the Immortal Sword and slowly walked toward Jiang Li, one step at a time.

Jiang Li had long since been frightened into collapsing onto the ground. He shouted frantically in all directions:

"E-Elder Zhao! Save me!"

Zhao Zhuohao leaped out and stood in front of Jiang Li. Staring at the mysterious woman before him with terror in his eyes, he asked:

"May I ask who you are?!"

"Why have you attacked the Jiang Family!"

Cold sweat flowed down Zhao Zhuohao's forehead as his gaze remained fixed tightly on Sky Swallowing Python.

At this moment, he felt fear unlike anything he had ever known!

This fear even far surpassed what he had felt when he saw Luo Ruying earlier!

He had been watching Jiang Li in secret the entire time, yet he had not seen this person make a move!

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

For her to accomplish such a thing meant that her cultivation and strength were far beyond his own!

One had to know that he was at the Immortal Transformation Realm. Across the entire Southern Province, he was also one of the foremost cultivators!

Sky Swallowing Python could not be bothered to waste words on Zhao Zhuohao. Her icy snake pupils narrowed as she coldly pronounced his death sentence.

"By order of my lord, you must die!"
