Dealing With Line Cutters Requires Speed, Accuracy, and Ruthlessness

This mission is right up my alley!

"It's my... turn in line... Please don't... cut in line..."

The little girl's voice was faint, her eyes watery, as if tears would stream down at any moment.

Xiao Yao understood this was social anxiety from his past life.

But compared to his past life, the fantasy cultivation world was even less welcoming to those with social anxiety.

As expected, the person who cut in line, dressed in a black brocade robe, tall and sturdy, with a cultivation base of the seventh level of the Sea Opening Realm, turned to glance at the little girl and snorted disdainfully, "I'm cutting in line, so what?"

"Ugh..."

The little girl, due to her extreme social anxiety, suddenly went blank, completely unsure of what to say.

But no one stepped forward to reason with him, because the line-cutter looked very powerful, not someone this group of weaklings could afford to provoke.

And those who truly had strength seemed to have seen it all before and had no intention of getting involved.

Indifference!

A more terrifying indifference than in his past life!

Even though this kind of indifference had happened to Xiao Yao many times before, and he should have been used to it by now!

But seeing it happen to others still made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Without further hesitation, Xiao Yao walked towards the line.

Seeing Xiao Yao leave his spot, the line-cutter rejoiced, "Haha! My luck is truly great, that spot is the best for observing sword marks."

He then sped directly towards the observation spot Xiao Yao had left.

However, just as he was about to pass Xiao Yao, he was hit by a powerful gust of wind, and his strong, tall body was sent flying backward.

It took a lot of Mana and effort for the line-cutter to stop next to the little girl.

Many cultivators in the Sea Opening Realm finished their observation and looked towards Xiao Yao, knowing a good show was about to unfold.

"You brat, what do you mean by this?"

"Do you know who I am? How dare you treat me like this?"

Facing the line-cutter's furious outburst, Xiao Yao walked over leisurely, coldly stating, "Who you are, I have no need to know. I only know that you will immediately roll to the back of the line, or die!"

His killing intent was palpable. Not only cultivators below the Sea Opening Realm, but even those within the Sea Opening Realm felt immense fear and panic.

"How many people has he killed?"

"I don't know, but I heard that at the Dao Fruit Tree, he killed over three thousand people in one go, including more than a hundred cultivators in the Sea Opening Realm."

"Holy crap! No wonder the president of the Heavenly Sword Association said he was a god of slaughter three days ago!"

"Fortunately, we didn't provoke him, otherwise, this place would probably be flowing with blood."

Compared to everyone's pale faces, the line-cutter flashed an evil smile and said, "So what if you've killed a lot of people? They're afraid of you, but I'm not!"

"I'll say it one last time, roll to the back of the line immediately, or die!"

Xiao Yao's patience had been completely exhausted.

It wasn't that he enjoyed killing, but his opponents always felt they had the advantage and insisted on courting death.

So what could he do? He could only send them to their deaths!

"I'm from the Xuanyuan Family, try and touch me if you dare!"

As soon as he said this, a sharp and piercing sword light flashed past. The next moment, a large hole appeared on the line-cutter's body.

Under everyone's gaze, the sword energy directly swept away the gushing blood.

In the blink of an eye, the line-cutter's body was completely consumed by sword energy, and he died on the spot!

The little girl's bright eyes flickered. In her sight, the line-cutter's soul was also annihilated.

What ruthless action!

But this unrepentant line-cutter deserved his fate.

[Beep! Congratulations to Host for completing the mission: Teach a lesson to the line-cutter, and gain a one-level promotion in cultivation!]

"System, does this count as teaching a lesson?" Xiao Yao asked curiously in his heart.

[Beep! The scope of 'teaching a lesson' is very broad. Killing the line-cutter also counts. Besides, wasn't the line-cutter bringing it upon himself, forcing the Host to kill him!]

"So that's how it is!" Xiao Yao thought with sudden realization.

[Beep! Host, do you wish to claim your realm advancement reward now?]

This was the first time he had received a reward for a realm advancement!

Xiao Yao was very excited and simply responded with a 'hmm' in his heart.

The next moment, his entire aura surged, and his cultivation instantly advanced to the third level of the Sea Opening Realm, then to the peak of the third level of the Sea Opening Realm.

The surrounding cultivators naturally felt it!

"This... you can still improve your cultivation by killing people now?"

"Is he cultivating the Sword Dao, or the Way of Slaughter?"

"Who cares what he cultivates! We absolutely must not provoke him, or we'll become nourishment for him to improve his cultivation and strength."

Xiao Yao was speechless for a moment, but this was also a good thing. At least there would be fewer idiots causing trouble.

Finally, his gaze fell on the little girl, and he said, "Now, you go to the spot where I just left and observe the sword marks."

"Really… can I?" The little girl's tone was still very soft.

Xiao Yao nodded and said, "Of course! This is what you deserve after waiting in line for so long."

"Thank you!" The little girl thanked him politely.

Then, she happily skipped towards Xiao Yao's previous position.

Watching this scene, Xiao Yao knew that the moment he left, the little girl's spot would likely be snatched away.

Therefore, he had to teach the little girl how to protect herself?

He looked up and saw the little girl had already sat down in his former spot.

Such speed!

But even now, his Heavenly Spirit Eyes couldn't discern the other party's cultivation. This was outrageous!

So Xiao Yao silently recited, "System, what is this little girl's cultivation? Why can't my Heavenly Spirit Eyes see it?"

[Beep! Reporting to Host, she is carrying the Emperor Tier Golden Furnace Guarding Phoenix Leaf, so your Saint Tier Heavenly Spirit Eyes definitely cannot see through it.]

"Is that so? Then what is her cultivation level?" Xiao Yao hadn't expected such a timid-looking little girl to be carrying an Emperor Tier heavenly treasure.

[Beep! Peak ninth level of the Sea Opening Realm.]

"Holy crap! She's this timid with such cultivation? She must be extremely socially anxious!" Xiao Yao grumbled inwardly, then thought again, "Then all I need to do now is teach her how to deal with people who bully her, I don't need to stay by her side all the time."

Having made up his mind, Xiao Yao strode confidently to the little girl.

The little girl looked at him with an innocent expression and said, "Big brother, do you have anything else to tell me?"

"Although we've only met by chance, I still need to tell you this: when dealing with line-cutters like the one just now, you must be as swift, precise, and ruthless as I was, because that is the language they understand best."

"Only with thunderous methods can one show a Bodhisattva's heart!"

After Xiao Yao finished speaking, the little girl seemed to understand. Her eyes flashed with brilliance, clearly showing her complete agreement.

"Big brother, my name is Dai Tianwei. Can you tell me your name?"

Xiao Yao smiled slightly and said, "If we meet again by fate, I'll tell you!"

Whoosh!

Xiao Yao turned into a white light and disappeared from his spot.

However, Xiao Yao was still worried. He only pretended to disappear, but in reality, he hid in a concealed spot not too far away.

"Dai Tianwei? Why does this name sound familiar?"

"I've never heard of it, how could you have? Your memory must be jumbled!"

Six hours passed. It seemed that because they thought Xiao Yao hadn't gone far, or perhaps because his influence was still present, no one had dared to make a move against Dai Tianwei so far.

Suddenly, a slender figure in purple appeared beside Dai Tianwei and said coldly, "Get out immediately, or this young lady will make you pay!"

Dai Tianwei opened her eyes. She was no longer the timid girl who looked like she was about to cry, but was now filled with boundless coldness.

She even sternly rebuked, "Scram!"

"Scram? Heh heh! The person who dares to tell me to scram hasn't even been born yet!" The purple-robed maiden summoned a King Tier blade-type magical treasure.

Just as she was about to strike, a world-shattering sword light pierced through the purple-robed maiden.

"I remember now! Dai Tianwei is the Divine Maiden recently appointed by the Shocking Heaven Tower, one of the three super sects in the Southern Wilderness Domain."

"At only twelve years old, she already has the cultivation of peak ninth level of the Sea Opening Realm."

"Twelve years old? She's that young?"

"Even cultivators with Emperor's Bearing might not have achieved what this girl has now."

"But the previous Divine Maiden of the Shocking Heaven Tower couldn't control her cultivation, and under the instigation of that killing god, she has transformed!"

Xiao Yao, who was watching from afar, naturally heard this!

He slowly exhaled, slightly surprised, "She's twelve years old, just like me."

"However, this Dai Tianwei probably hasn't only been cultivating for a month. She's still no match for me!"

Suddenly, sixteen beams of light shot down from the sky.

The leading cultivator was burly and broad-shouldered, with angry, bulging eyes and peak ninth level Sea Opening Realm cultivation. He exuded an oppressive aura.

"Who killed the second young master of the Xuanyuan Family?"

A hoarse, powerful voice boomed out, making all the cultivators present tremble as if startled.

"You won't say? Then you will all accompany the second young master to the grave!"

As soon as he finished speaking, some cowardly cultivators spoke up, "That person has already left! We don't know where he is. However, he might be related to that little girl!"

Dai Tianwei's beautiful eyes opened. She knew this battle might be unavoidable!

For the big brother who had been good to her, fighting this battle wasn't impossible.

"Your second young master was killed by him for me, so you can come directly to me!"

Dai Tianwei said as she stood up, completely shedding her previous timidity and adopting the demeanor of a true prodigy.

[Beep! As the saying goes, one person's actions are their own responsibility. Host, you're so strong, how can you let a little girl who can't even lift a chicken suffer? Fight these unreasonable scum who came seeking revenge to death for this System. Mission Issued: Slay all cultivators of the Xuanyuan Family present. Upon completion, you will receive even better rewards than before.]
