Chapter 953: Gratitude for Not Killing
Chapter 953: Gratitude for Not Killing
"Huh..."
A Sword Gang of several tens of meters, transparent and colorless, yet visible to everyone through the fluctuations it caused in the air, flew past Yang Tong with a whistling sound.
"Boom!"
A thunderous noise echoed as the Sword Gang bypassed Yang Tong and struck the villa behind him. In front of everyone’s eyes, this incredibly powerful Sword Gang cleaved the villa into two, creating a massive gully from top to bottom. One could even see through to the other side of the villa along the gully, indicating the terrifying power of the Sword Gang!
What... How is this possible!
This... This is too terrifying!
This... What exactly is going on!
...
Bai Wanli, upon witnessing this scene, was dumbfounded. His eyes widened as if they would fall out of their sockets. He could never have dreamed that he would encounter such an event. Without seeing anything else, he saw the Sword Gang appear out of nowhere. Its power was too immense, simply inconceivable. This... This wasn’t something humans could achieve. What level of master could possibly execute such a feat? This was far beyond anything Yang Tong could manage.
Bai Wanli’s cold sweat started to pour. He clearly understood that this Sword Gang was a warning. If the opponent really wanted to kill, it wouldn’t need to do more than turn the Sword Gang horizontally and none of them would survive. If a villa could be split in two, what chance did they stand? This... This was terrifying.
Bai Wanli seriously observed the women opposite him, unable to comprehend who among them could have launched such a fearsome Sword Gang. He finally focused on a thin old man nearby. All these women were too young, none possibly over 30, lacking the prowess for such an action. The only possibility was the thin old man, who must be a super powerhouse, far superior to Yang Tong!
No... This is bad!
Panic began to rise uncontrollably inside Bai Wanli. He knew what was about to happen. Yang Tong was no match for them. Before he even took action, it was already doomed, alerting the opponent to his intention for Yang Tong to attack them. Now, those women would surely seek revenge. What... What should he do...
Bai Wanli desperately wanted to flee with his son, but he understood that in front of such a terrifying super powerhouse, he and his son were mere ordinary people with no chance to escape. Now, Bai Wanli was utterly desperate. He stood frozen, unsure of what was about to unfold...
My God...
Bai Daqi was equally stunned by the Sword Gang. His heart was filled with fear. He wasn’t a master, but he had seen Yang Tong in action; a nearly invincible man should not be able to wield such a Sword Gang. Even he understood that there must be a super powerhouse guarding these eight beautiful women, one evidently far more powerful than Yang Tong.
Thinking this, Bai Daqi broke into a cold sweat. He regretted immensely; had he known how powerful these women were, he wouldn’t have dared to harass them. Now his family’s Bailong Real Estate was acquired, and the Bai Family was at risk of losing everything to the bank. Now, even the lives of him and his son were uncertain. Bai Daqi couldn’t express how distraught he felt.
Bai Daqi cursed himself internally 860 times, thinking he was truly an idiot. Had he not provoked these women, he could have continued as the proud young master, and his family wouldn’t have lost everything or put their lives at risk—this was all his own doing!
Bai Daqi now felt a desire to end his life, realizing in this situation that neither he nor his father would come out unscathed today, and it was all his fault that the Bai Family had lost everything...
S... S... S-grade Super Powerhouse!
This... How is this possible!
How could he encounter such a powerhouse here!
Yang Tong was now drenched in cold sweat, which had soaked through his back in an instant—his heart had almost leaped out of his chest. As an AA-rank cultivator, he understood all too well what that terrifying Sword Gang represented—it was a Sword Gang that could only be wielded by an S-rank Super Powerhouse, and moreover, by one who held an Ancient Sword in hand. In front of such a master, he was nothing more than an ant...
Turning his head back in disbelief, Yang Shu stared at the villa that had been split in half. He had never dreamed that he would encounter an S-rank Super Powerhouse here. This level of power was simply terrifying. Although he had heard tales of S-rank powerhouses, only now, witnessing the might of an S-rank Sword Gang with his own eyes, did he understand what a true Super Powerhouse was—the might of that Sword Gang was truly horrifying!
Looking at the huge trench left by the Sword Gang on the ground less than two meters away, Yang Tong, even as foolish as he was, understood that this S-rank Super Powerhouse had not intended to kill him. Otherwise, he would have been cleaved into two halves by now. To say that the Sword Gang had missed was simply impossible—there was no way an S-rank Super Powerhouse would make such a mistake!
Yang Tong once again turned his gaze toward the thin, dry old man opposite him; he realized that this overlooked thin old man was the Super Powerhouse who had unleashed that terrifying Sword Gang. Besides this old man, none of the women present could be responsible. Not knowing what else to do, he would indeed be a fool.
Dispelling the circulating True Qi, Yang Tong slowly approached Zhu Tao and, without any hesitation, bowed deeply.
"Senior, thank you for sparing my life. I will leave this place now," Yang Tong said respectfully to the old man in front of him, and then turned around and promptly left the area, understanding that the elder’s decision to spare him was giving him a chance to leave. If he were to further fail to recognize this grace, he would indeed be courting death. Being employed by the Bai Family, he certainly could not afford to die for them—it was an impossible consideration. So why not leave as swiftly as he could? That was indeed what he ought to do right now.
Watching Yang Tong leave, Zhu Tao said nothing. He had released that Sword Gang merely as a warning, since this man was an AA-rank cultivator and posed a threat to the safety of the women. Now that he had left, there was no longer any issue, and Zhu Tao simply continued to watch the situation. Under these circumstances, the Bai Family on the other side wouldn’t dare to cause any further trouble.
Bai Wanli and Bai Daqi, father and son, watched as their last hope, Yang Tong, also left and immediately collapsed to the ground in fear, trembling all over, unsure of how these women would deal with them. Their hearts were gripped with immense fear—they were genuinely afraid that if the old man attacked them, they wouldn’t even know how they died.
Now, both father and son deeply regretted their actions. They had never anticipated that the old man would be such a high-level Super Powerhouse. If they had known that such a force was present here, they never would have signaled Yang Tong to act. Now, not only had they failed to capture the women, but they had also scared Yang Tong away—their problems were clearly going to worsen.
Thinking about this, Bai Wanli and Bai Daqi exchanged glances, seeing boundless fear in each other’s eyes. They had never expected to encounter someone like that in the villa development area. In terms of financial power, acquiring Bailong Real Estate had already frightened Wang Pu too much to lend any help; as for prowess, they were even less of a match. That old man was an existence beyond their wildest imaginations, toying with them would be effortless. Everything they had once prided themselves on now seemed virtually non-existent in front of these people!
The father and son duo no longer looked as they once did; they leaned on each other, both trembling, and speculated about how the women might deal with them. The more they thought about it, the more frightened they became, and the more regretful their hearts grew. But to their dismay, regrets were useless at this point...
"Sister Duoduo, let’s leave."
"What a dull encounter, to meet such people."
"I wouldn’t want to live here even if it were offered to me."
"Yeah, the quality really isn’t all that great thanks to Old Zhu splitting it open like that."
"How about this? Let’s build our own villa development. What do you think?"
"Yaoyao’s idea isn’t bad at all. I find Qingyun Mountain to the south of Tianhai quite nice. We could buy that piece of land."
"Yeah, I know the place you’re talking about. It’s quite nice. Buy a piece of land, build our own villa development—one villa per person!"
"That’s a really good idea. Why haven’t we thought of this before? Let’s go ahead with that plan. Sister, I’ll front the money for this. Don’t fight me on it!"
"..."
After seeing Bai Wanli and Bai Daqi scared to that extent, the women lost any interest in targeting these two men. Furthermore, they had no inclination to buy any houses in the villa development area anymore. Shen Yao then suddenly proposed building their own villa development. Why bother buying someone else’s houses? This idea was immediately and unanimously approved by the other women. Chu Meng, hearing this, was also very happy and took on the task of funding the villa development project. All things considered, the money didn’t mean anything to her—it was just numbers.
