When I turned my gaze toward them, the three of them wore looks of terror. But they immediately made their decisions and fled into the distance in three different directions!
Whoosh! My strength surpassed theirs. Killing all three at once would be somewhat difficult, but chasing down any one of them was as easy and pleasurable as could be! A gust of wind rang out. When the sword-bearing young man looked back, his face had already turned deathly gray.
"You were the one who rushed to that female immortal's aid just now, weren't you? What's your relationship with her? Is it worth trading your life for hers?" I grabbed him by the neck. Without waiting for his answer, I gave it a squeeze. Crack! His neck broke, and I firmly seized the reincarnation-realm ethereal body with the Spirit-Nascent Art in the same instant!
"No..." The young man hurriedly begged for mercy. I sneered. "Call her ethereal body back now and have her trade herself for you. If she's willing to come, both of you can live. If she doesn't, you die."
The young man was tortured so terribly by my Spirit-Nascent Art that he immediately sent a voice transmission, asking the female immortal who had just fled to return. But before he could finish, she ran even faster. I let out a cold laugh and said, "Husband and wife are originally birds of the same forest, but when disaster strikes, they each fly for themselves. Go to the six paths of reincarnation. I hope you can recognize who can be trusted and who can't in the future."
"Waaah! No! I'm the son of the Sect Master of the Heaven-Controlling Sect! Take me to the Heaven-Controlling Sect, and my grandfather will give you resources beyond counting! Please!" the young man wailed.
