Chapter 38: Guess, guess, what is a fucking surprise?
As Mu Zhi’an’s words fell, the black-robed man’s heart was shocked for a moment.
Then, when he saw the old man who had quietly appeared behind Mu Zhi’an, he hesitated for a moment, and then that uneasiness slowly dissipated. He sneered, “The so-called surprise, you mean him?”
The Mu family’s guest elder, Elder Ren.
This was the Mu family’s card on the surface, and it was also a card in the black-robed man’s intelligence.
And the card to deal with this old man… he had already prepared it long ago.
A Spirit Transformation stage cultivator was indeed troublesome.
But not difficult to handle.
At least for him who was well-prepared, this was not a troublesome matter.
The black-robed man regained his composure, but his eyes staring at Mu Zhi’an were filled with deep coldness. He slowly said,
“The Mu family’s guest elder actually escorted you all the way to Dragon Head Forest… It seems that Young Master Mu doesn’t trust me very much.”
Mu Zhi’an looked at the black-robed man as if he was looking at a lunatic and said, “Would you trust an outsider who is not even willing to reveal his name?”
The black-robed man was obviously stunned for a moment, then he burst into laughter, “That’s right, hahaha, I’ve always regarded you as a useless young master indulging in beauties. It seems I underestimated you too much. Even a useless person knows how to make comprehensive plans.”
“I went through a lot of trouble to make you win over Miss Bai. Young Master Mu really doesn’t know how to be grateful.”
“The girl I pursued, the effort I put in, how did it become your credit?” Mu Zhi’an laughed.
“Who the f*ck are you?”
The black-robed man’s eyes revealed a hint of coldness, and he slowly raised his hand, “It seems that Young Master Mu is not very satisfied with the surprise I just gave you.”
As his words fell, a shocking killing intent burst out from the black-robed man. Mu Zhi’an suddenly felt a chill on his back, and he stared intently at the black-robed man.
He saw that the black-robed man’s figure suddenly distorted for a moment, and then, from behind the black-robed man, a mysterious man in black robes slowly walked out.
Unlike the man wearing a bamboo hat, he was still dressed in black robes, emanating a cold aura. His cold vertical pupils were like poisonous snakes. With just a glance, it made people feel as if they were facing a ferocious beast, sending chills down their spines.
“Demon?!” Bai Ruoxi almost blurted out.
The aura emanating from this black-robed man was the cold aura that could only be found on demons.
Demons, in this immortal world, were one of the strongest forces. The Two Polarity Sect was located in the Eastern Realm, while the demon realm was in the Northern Realm. The border frictions between the two sides had been constant.
But Tianxuan City was not far from the foot of the Two Polarity Sect!
Even here, demons had infiltrated…
It seemed that the Demon Empress had great ambitions.
The Northern Realm could be said to be completely the realm of demons. There, demons ran rampant, and their empress was said to be an ancient heaven-devouring giant python. Her true form was a white snake, enchanting all living beings. Countless demons and evil cultivators prostrated at her pomegranate skirt, willing to be a dog under her feet.
It was not only because of the Demon Empress’s strength but also related to her own enchanting ability.
No wonder I always felt that this guy looked a bit off. It turns out he’s a demon… For the first time, a hint of surprise flashed in Mu Zhi’an’s eyes.
The other party indeed had something in reserve.
From beginning to end, there was more than one black-robed man.
This was the reason why the black-robed man could be so confident.
Two Spirit Transformation stage cultivators, even if the Mu family’s Elder Ren could block one, the destructive power brought by the other Spirit Transformation stage cultivator could be said to be overwhelming.
Demons were born with rich spiritual energy. Because of their bloodline advantage, cultivators of the same realm were no match for them at all, let alone from the surface, apart from Elder Ren, there were only Mu Zhi’an and Bai Ruoxi.
Two Qi Condensation stage cultivators were not enough to resist the demon cultivators at the Spirit Transformation stage at all.
“Young Master Mu just now seemed to feel that it wasn’t surprising enough. Then, is this surprise now enough?” The black-robed man slowly spoke, his eyes carrying a hint of playfulness.
That indifferent gaze was like a cat teasing a mouse.
This was indeed the case. Under normal circumstances, even a large family could not produce two or three Spirit Transformation stage cultivators.
The two high-grade Spirit Transformation stage demon cultivators in front of him were already enough to sweep through everything in the current environment.
At this point, the black-robed man’s gaze fell intentionally or unintentionally on Bai Ruoxi beside him, and his cold eyes revealed a hint of greed.
Although he had no interest in humans, the girl’s body had such rich spiritual energy. If she was refined into a furnace, it should be able to increase his strength by a lot.
As for Mu Zhi’an…
In a moment, let this annoying brat experience what it feels like to be worse than death.
A Spirit Transformation stage cultivator was actually plotted against by a mere Qi Condensation stage brat before, causing him to be beaten by everyone whenever he walked on the street later, not even daring to wear a black robe out on the street.
This great grudge, if not avenged, he couldn’t swallow this anger.
“Two Spirit Transformation stage demon cultivators… It is indeed a bit unexpected for me.”
Mu Zhi’an looked at the two black-robed men in front of him and sighed with heartfelt emotion.
It was just that the originally “terrified” expression had gradually disappeared, and his tone had returned to its usual calmness.
The black-robed man’s brows subconsciously frowned.
For some reason, he suddenly had an inexplicable strange feeling in his heart.
He had imagined Mu Zhi’an’s reaction when he discovered two Spirit Transformation stage demon cultivators… fear, fright, and even turning around and fleeing on the spot.
In the past, people facing him always had such reactions, and he would first give the other party a little hope, making them think they could escape from his grasp, and then at the end, he would catch them back… At this moment, he would give the other party the greatest sense of despair.
He wanted to see Mu Zhi’an make this reaction, but at this time, the other party’s expression was so calm that it made people feel a bit anxious.
Something was a bit off… He was clearly just a Qi Condensation third-grade brat, so why was there no fear at all?
The black-robed man’s eyes flickered slightly.
And almost at that moment, the demon cultivator beside him raised his hand and slapped towards Mu Zhi’an.
Elder Ren snorted coldly and also slapped out a palm from a distance. The shockwave spread out in all directions in the surging, and the two quickly pulled away from each other.
The black-robed evil cultivator’s body surged with astonishing demonic energy, enveloping Elder Ren, and the two sides engaged in fierce combat.
And the black-robed man was still confronting Mu Zhi’an. Seeing that Mu Zhi’an still showed no sign of escaping, for some reason, a sense of timidity suddenly arose in his heart, and his eyes flickered slightly.
Now it was more important to bring the Heavenly Dao Aura back to Her Majesty the Demon Empress. If the mission failed, it would be troublesome… The black-robed man thought of this, but still felt unwilling. His pale and withered palm stretched out from his robe and slapped fiercely towards Mu Zhi’an.
Clang!
A clear and pleasant ringing sound came to his ears. The black-robed man took a closer look and saw that the young miss of the Bai family, who was also only at the Qi Condensation stage, actually had an ancient bronze sword with extremely complex patterns behind her.
A terrifying oppressive feeling emanated from that bronze sword.
That inviolable sense of majesty made the black-robed man’s pupils slightly contract.
This bronze sword was a bit strange…
The black-robed man stared intently at Bai Ruoxi. Although he was shocked and angry in his heart, his expression was still calm on the surface. He just slowly said, “I see, so this is your confidence, Young Master Mu?”
“In the end, you still have to rely on a woman.” He mocked with a hint of sarcasm.
Mu Zhi’an was not angry at all, but smiled indifferently, “I have a woman I can rely on, what about you?”
“Oh, you don’t have a Dao companion. Then nevermind.” With one sentence, Mu Zhi’an broke the black-robed man’s composure.
Killing intent burst out from the black-robed man’s eyes, and he smashed out another fist.
But the bronze sword unleashed by Bai Ruoxi was horizontal in front of the two. With a clang, the bronze sword formed a protective barrier, isolating all attacks outside.
It looked a bit like the anger of a single dog… Mu Zhi’an smiled, “Don’t be so anxious. The surprise I just mentioned hasn’t been presented yet.”
Looking at the calmly smiling young man, the black-robed man’s eyes flickered, and he felt more and more that something was wrong. He immediately turned around and transformed into a stream of light, rushing into mid-air.
At this moment, a voice as loud as thunder came from under the sky, “Coming as you please, leaving as you please, what do you take our Tianxuan City for?”
The black-robed man abruptly raised his head and saw that at some point, three cultivators riding swords had appeared in mid-air.
Two Spirit Transformation stage cultivators from the Gongsun family and a Spirit Transformation stage expert from the Morning Glory Chamber of Commerce!
The black-robed man’s pupils contracted into pinpoints. He abruptly turned around and wanted to escape in the other direction.
However, the moment he turned his head, he saw a girl in a yellow long dress standing there quietly waiting for him.
She had a thin sword on her back, her expression cold, and her eyes like an ancient well were filled with indifference.
Another Spirit Transformation stage?!
At this moment, the black-robed man had a feeling of “waking up one day and being at odds with the whole world”. He abruptly turned his head to look at Mu Zhi’an and said word by word, “You tricked me?!”
A junior of the Mu family could actually secretly unite the three major families… No one would have thought of that.
“This is not called tricking you. According to your words just now… This is called a surprise.”
Mu Zhi’an said word by word, “Now I want to ask you to explain again—”
“What exactly is the surprise you mentioned?”
