The Divine Fei Luo!

"Phew~"

The Ren Mansion was thick with the pungent smell of gunpowder. A gentle breeze seemed to sweep through, bringing Ren Tingting's lunging body to a halt.

In an instant, Ren Tingting was stunned.

In her pupils, Fei Luo's figure seemed to turn into an afterimage in the blink of an eye.

A-Wei had fired six shots at Fei Luo with his eyes shut. After the sixth shot, he opened his eyes. "Let's see you keep showing off. You're dead, you—you—"

A-Wei looked as though he'd seen a ghost. His glasses even went clattering off, revealing a pair of crossed eyes.

Fei Luo seemed not to have moved at all. He held the six bullets A-Wei had fired tightly between his fingertips, and wisps of smoke from their friction with the air still seemed to curl off them.

"That's it?" Fei Luo grinned. "Didn't you say that within ten paces, a gun was fast and accurate? Ignorant mortal."

"I—"

A-Wei had just started to speak when a mechanical blankness appeared in his eyes.

His trembling body also went still, and he stood dumbly in place just like the men behind him.

The Soul Capture Art could seize a person's mind and spirit.

The blue light in Fei Luo's eyes gradually faded. He looked at A-Wei in front of him. "A-Wei, tell me your secrets."

"Yes."

A-Wei nodded mechanically. Like a puppet, he tilted his head and began to speak.

"My name is A-Wei. I'm a heartless, wicked man. The day before yesterday, I got Old Wang's wife pregnant and cruelly abandoned her. I also had Old Wang thrown in prison and killed."

"I've been forcing myself on Ah Hong at Yi Hong Brothel for a long time. I don't just sleep with her for free; I even turn around and demand money from her. She..."

"Old Li from Fourth Alley was also ruined by me. Because he wouldn't pay protection money, I had him tortured until he died."

"The year before last, an old man who raised chickens wouldn't give me one to eat, so I had my dogs bite all his chickens to death. The old man was so furious he threw himself into the lake. It was hilarious—a stupid old man."

"I've coveted my uncle-in-law's fortune for ages. Why won't that old bastard die already? And Ren Tingting, that little bitch, has given me the cold shoulder time and again. What's she so proud of? Just wait until your old man dies. I'll have my way with you every day, and when I'm tired of you, I'll get my buddies to have their way with you too. Then I'll sell you to Yi Hong Brothel, so any random passerby can have you. Just you wait, little bitch. I'll kill that pretty boy sooner or later too."

"That's enough, Brother Fei Luo. Make him shut up!" At that moment, Ren Tingting was trembling with rage, her eyes red.

So it was true that you couldn't judge a book by its cover. A-Wei was annoying and lecherous, and she certainly didn't like him, but she'd never imagined her cousin was such a beast—less than human.

At this, Fei Luo smiled and gave a slight nod. A flash of blue light in his eyes pierced into everyone's minds.

"Don't worry. I've learned of all the wicked deeds these scoundrels have committed. They'll receive the punishment they deserve," Fei Luo said calmly. Then he gave a gentle breath, and the men, A-Wei included, mechanically walked outside.

Even Fei Luo found the sight shocking when he viewed it through the Heavenly Venerable Dharma Eye.

In this age, when the people were already suffering in dire poverty and hardship, most of these scoundrels had blood on their hands. Preying on the townsfolk was the least of it; the worst, like A-Wei, were all equally beastly.

"Wuwu~" Ren Tingting's eyes reddened, and she choked out, "Brother Fei Luo, thank you for saving me again. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid that one day..."

Just thinking of A-Wei's "innermost thoughts" made Ren Tingting shudder with revulsion.

He coveted her father's fortune, wanted to have his way with her himself, and even planned to bring his gang along? Then, after that, he'd sell her to Yi Hong Brothel?

Ren Tingting had never heard a story so horrifying in her life.

"Brother Fei Luo, what will happen to A-Wei and the others?" Ren Tingting looked at Fei Luo through reddened eyes and asked tearfully.

Everything that had happened today had once again completely changed how Ren Tingting saw Fei Luo, and how she saw superhumans.

In her eyes, Fei Luo was no longer human. He was a god, a great hero, an all-powerful deity.

Had she ever seen anyone catch bullets with their bare hands?

Had she ever seen anyone punish evildoers in the blink of an eye?

"A-Wei won't survive. He'll die in terror, without a peaceful end," Fei Luo explained with a smile. "As for his men, anyone with sins on their hands will die. Those with lesser sins have also been punished by me, and the rest of their lives will be miserable."

Fei Luo wasn't lying.

The Soul Capture Art could seize a person's mind and spirit, and control the nerves in their brain, bringing about all kinds of unbelievable things.

Take A-Wei, for example. Fei Luo had severed the nerves in his brain. He would endlessly blame and repent in his own mind, and eventually die in terror.

Fei Luo had already created numerous illusions in his mind, affecting his brain's nerves.

He had also passed judgment on the henchmen who had done evil.

"Thank you, Brother Fei Luo. The people of Ren Family Town will surely be grateful to you." Looking at Fei Luo, Ren Tingting felt a warmth in her heart.

Ever since this man had appeared, she had somehow escaped one crisis after another. He was a god, a deity who protected the world.

At that moment, Ren Tingting's feelings toward Fei Luo changed. Her simple admiration had become deep reverence.

"You don't need to thank me. It's what I ought to do. Protecting the righteous way in this world is the duty of a cultivator like me." Fei Luo patted Ren Tingting's shoulder and smiled.

"Master Fei Luo, this is..."

Just then, Master Ren pushed open the door and entered.

Earlier, on the street, he'd seen a group of men rush into his mansion. Alarmed, he'd turned down Huang Baiwan's invitation and hurried back home.

From a distance, Master Ren had also heard several gunshots.

What was he supposed to do?

When had his daughter ever faced anything like this?

Master Ren had been frantic with worry as he hurried toward the Ren Family Villa.

But as soon as he pushed open the door, all he saw were shell casings on the ground. Then he heard his daughter thanking someone, and found himself looking at the scene before him.

"Father!" When Ren Tingting saw him, tears streamed down her face as she rushed over.

Looking at Ren Tingting, Fei Luo felt something shift inside him.

Just now, when A-Wei had arrived, Ren Tingting had stood up for him without fearing authority, showing the bearing of a true hero.

When A-Wei had fired, had she really been about to rush over and take the bullet for him?

"Alas..." Fei Luo sighed inwardly, his feelings complicated.

"Master Fei Luo, thank you so very much. I, Ren, must properly repay you today for saving my life so many times." After hearing Ren Tingting's brief account, Master Ren immediately turned to Fei Luo with a joyful expression.

"No need—"

"Master Fei Luo, you must stay. If you refuse, I'll jump out of here!" Seeing that Fei Luo was about to refuse, Master Ren immediately spoke up.

"???"
