Who are you?
Boom~
Before the martial artist could even ask a question, Liang Hao delivered a Heavenly Frost Fist to him, sending him flying backward and crashing into a wall behind him.
"Why do villains always ask these pointless questions? What do they need so much knowledge for a dying person? Do they think they have a chance to be reincarnated and seek revenge on me?"
Having succeeded in his first strike, Liang Hao immediately pressed his advantage.
The martial artist coughed up a mouthful of blood and struggled to his feet.
result……
Bang~
Another Heavenly Frost Fist sent him and the house flying.
The moment he landed, the martial artist was left with only one breath.
Liang Hao's extraordinary figure, like a god descending to earth, landed heavily beside him.
"puff--"
After spitting out a mouthful of green blood, the martial artist glared angrily at Liang Hao.
Bang~
As a result, another punch landed on his face.
"What kind of look is that? Are you really unhappy about it?"
Liang Hao pointed the dragon tooth pestle fiercely at him: "I'll give you a chance to live. Confess your accomplices, and you'll suffer less physical pain and spend the rest of your life in bed."
"Kid, you're in big trouble," the martial artist said. "Do you know who I am?"
The next second, Liang Hao grabbed him off the ground and choked him tightly by the throat.
"Now that things have come to this, are you still planning to reveal your background in an attempt to intimidate me?"
"you……"
"Let me tell you, I have absolutely no interest in who you are or what your background is. I just want to know how many accomplices you have in this Chang'an city?"
"Hmph, how could a righteous warrior from the Nine Netherworlds submit to a mere ant like you?"
Boom~
Without saying a word, Liang Hao threw him face down onto the ground.
Instantly, the bluestone slabs around the martial artist cracked into spiderweb-like patterns.
"What do you mean by 'the power of the Nine Journeys'? How can a pimp like you be so pretentious?"
"I'll ask you one question: if you can't even handle an ant like me, then just how useless are you?"
Then, he was slammed more than a dozen times, leaving the martial artist unrecognizable and his bones shattered.
But he was also tough; even after becoming a cripple, he remained silent.
Liang Hao gave his full approval: "Very good, I admire your courage, even though we have different positions."
But I've decided to let you go, hoping you can change your ways and not repeat your mistakes.
Liang Hao ultimately chose to let the martial artist go, stepping on his back to leap into the void and disappear into the night in the blink of an eye.
"Damn it, who is this guy? I, a fourth-grade Supreme Realm cultivator, couldn't even withstand a single round against him."
When did such a master appear in Chang'an? I must inform my brother of this."
Thinking of this, he wriggled his body on the ground and began to crawl in the shadows like a maggot.
On the roof of a house not far away, Liang Hao, Linghu Ming, and Fahai silently watched the direction he left in.
"I was careless. I should have left him with a leg. I reckon it would have taken him at least a night to report the situation to his accomplices, given his character."
Seeing the martial artist's touching lack of mobility, Liang Hao was filled with frustration.
Linghu Ming said indifferently, "It's too lenient to spare the life of this kind of scoundrel who forces women into prostitution. We'll just wait for the big fish behind him to surface, and then we can catch them all in one fell swoop."
Liang Hao: "After we finish this job, I think you should go to your master's place to claim credit."
Linghu Ming: "Come on, my master doesn't care what I do outside. As long as I don't do anything that would disgrace the reputation of Taibai Tower, she won't ask any questions."
Liang Hao: "While that thing is still wriggling, I'm curious to ask a question..."
What exactly is the relationship between your master and your senior brother? Could it be that your senior brother is also a rebellious disciple who defies his master?
Linghu Ming sighed: "Master and Senior Brother are a truly loving couple. Ever since I was old enough to understand, Master has always taken extra care of Senior Brother."
Whenever he gets into trouble, his master will always smooth things over for him. It's a complicated story, but my intuition tells me they're lovers.
"Get lost," Liang Hao retorted without hesitation. "When the hell has your intuition ever been accurate?"
My intuition tells me that the only thing your master and your senior brother value is your master's appreciation of your talent, nothing more.
"You don't know anything. You have no idea how many times my senior brother lingered in front of Master's door, looking like he wanted to say something but couldn't. That look is exactly the same as when my father was kicked out of the bedroom by my mother."
"That's just your senior brother's unrequited love; it doesn't necessarily mean your master is interested in her."
"But my master personally cooked for him and mended his clothes several times."
This is a privilege that no other disciple has ever enjoyed. Doesn't that say everything?
"Nonsense, does mending clothes mean everything is explained?"
It's no wonder you're still single; it's because your thinking is completely misguided.
"What do you mean?"
"Think about it, if your master really liked your senior brother, how could he have expelled him from the sect over such a trivial matter?"
Even if the circumstances forced it at the time, so many years have passed now, why haven't you thought about making amends?
"That's because the master is bound by the sect's rules and regulations. A master-disciple relationship is destined to be condemned by the entire sect. Such rumors are far more terrifying than those from the outside world."
In severe cases, it could lead to the collapse of the sect overnight, so Master could only bury his feelings for Senior Brother deep in his heart. How pitiful…
When he got emotional, Linghu Ming put on an air of experience: "Lovers are ultimately separated by vast distances, alas..."
"Starting to overthink again, huh?" Liang Hao interrupted his remark directly. "I don't understand your complicated rules and regulations either. Anyway..."
