Battle Through the Heavens: There Are Always Rebellious Disciples Who Want to Deceive Their Master

Hopefully, this man was only after money. That would make this easier to resolve.

Otherwise, there was no telling how things would develop!

"Gold coins?"

"You think that little bit of gold is enough to send me away? Aren't you taking this too simply?"

"Tell me, what secret does that Broken Sword hold!!!"

As he spoke, the Stall Owner kept closing in on Xiao Yue, while she slowly backed away.

"It's just a lousy sword. How would I know what it's for? At worst, I'll give it back to you!"

Who the hell knew what that lousy sword was good for?

What terrible luck!

So much trouble over one lousy sword?

"A lousy sword?"

"How could a sword Miss Xiao took a liking to possibly be a lousy sword?"

"If you don't want to talk, that's fine. I have plenty of time. You can tell me slowly."

The Stall Owner's smile grew increasingly sinister as the distance between them steadily shrank.

"What exactly are you trying to do to me? Aren't you afraid the Xiao Family will come after you?"

What was this damned old man trying to do?

Why was he forcing her back step by step?

And what was Uncle doing? Why was he just standing there stupidly without moving?

Could he have come out just to watch the show?

Why had she listened to Uncle's nonsense? This was practically the biggest mistake she had ever made in her life!!!

"The Xiao Family??!"

"Once I get the treasure, where can't I go?"

"Your Xiao Family might have some standing in Wutan City, but once you leave Wutan City, what do you amount to?"

"Besides, you walked into such a remote place all by yourself. Even if I captured you, who would know?"

The Stall Owner's smile became increasingly smug.

He had never expected the eldest daughter of the Xiao Family to dare come to such a remote place alone.

Wasn't she handing him an opportunity on a silver platter?

He had only been waiting around casually. Who would have thought he would reap such a huge reward?

To get such a beautiful woman—even if he died afterward, he could probably die smiling!

Hahahahahaha!

Today truly was his lucky day!

He would get both the woman and the treasure. Perhaps his strength would even improve. Just thinking about it made him feel ecstatic.

"Stupid girl, stop backing away. There's no road behind you anymore. Even if you keep retreating, where can you go?"

The Stall Owner let out another pair of sinister chuckles. When Xiao Yue looked behind her, her face instantly darkened.

Was she really going to fall here today?

What the hell was going on?

She had only come out to stroll through the streets. Did it really have to end like this?

Could Uncle have taken issue with her shopping earlier?

But he didn't need to take revenge on her like this, did he?

I'm going to die, I'm going to die?!?

She was probably really done for today!

If she made it out alive this time, she would definitely sever her master-disciple relationship with Uncle. He was far too unreliable!

Suddenly!

A great amount of grayish-white airflow surged around Xiao Yue, wrapping tightly around her and preventing anything outside from harming her in the slightest.

At that moment, Xiao Yue also noticed that Uncle, who had been floating beside her all along, had vanished.

Was Uncle about to make his move?

Was he finally going to make his move?

Would she finally get to see his strength?

Xiao Yue was somewhat excited. She could finally see what Uncle was truly capable of.

The grayish-white airflow around Xiao Yue formed a wall of light.

At the same time, another stream of grayish-white airflow transformed into blade after blade, tearing through the air and directly sealing the Stall Owner in place, leaving him unable to move at all.

"This is!?"

The Stall Owner's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Could it be that the girl had a protector by her side?

The Stall Owner was not weak himself. He was a full-fledged Seven-star Fighter, so he had always been confident in himself.

If the little girl had a protector behind her who could remain undetected by him, then that person had to be at least a Dou Shi.

But how could that be?

This was not some dangerous place. Why would a Dou Shi be following her?

And from the looks of it, the other party seemed to be more than just a Dou Shi?

First Move (2)

"Damn it, who is hiding in the shadows?"

"Who is trying to harm me?"

"Is it really necessary to go this far for a nobody like me?"

The Stall Owner's expression was extremely grim.

The aura contained within the grayish-white airflow around him filled him with intense fear.

He simply could not see through that grayish-white airflow, much less understand what kind of existence could wield such power.

The streams of airflow seemed somewhat similar to swords, but what kind of method was this?

Why had he never heard of it before?

He spent all day roaming around the Market, so why had he never heard of such a technique?

The Xiao Family might be quite capable, but their Martial Skills were also well known to everyone. He had never heard of them possessing any sword-type Martial Skill.

What exactly was going on?

Who was it?

Who was targeting him?

Why was the other party targeting him?

The grayish-white airflow was clearly protecting the little girl in front of him completely. It absolutely had something to do with her!

"May I ask who this senior is?

Why have you attacked me?

Could you reveal yourself?"

The Stall Owner had completely lost his nerve at this point!!!

He could clearly feel the terrifying power contained within the grayish-white gas.

Even if he used every trick at his disposal, he likely would not be able to damage that grayish-white gas in the slightest.

"You dared to follow my Little Disciple. I think you're tired of living!!!"

A voice rang out beside the Stall Owner's ear.

The Stall Owner's scalp instantly tingled.

He could clearly sense that the source of the voice was right beside him.

Yet even so, even after hearing the other party's voice, he still could not find them!!?

"Who exactly are you!?"

The Stall Owner's body stiffened somewhat as he slowly shifted his eyes toward where the voice had come from.

Even though there was no one in the dark, he did not dare move recklessly.

After a gust of wind passed, a man dressed in black appeared against the wall where no one had been standing before.

Though he stood there without moving, he radiated an overwhelming aura.

The Stall Owner immediately began trembling in fear.

"Thud..."

"Please spare my life, my lord!!!"

The Stall Owner merely met the black-clad man's gaze once before instantly dropping to his knees, curling up and trembling in terror!

Looking at the man before him, Su Mu immediately found it incredibly boring.

Such a coward?

And he had still dared secretly follow his Little Disciple?

"Spare your life???"
