"Trying to beg for mercy now? Too late!"
"Is there really no room for maneuver?"
"Screw you, die!"
Boom~
Shen Zhao raised his hand and struck, instantly sending a jet of water from the bathtub soaring into the sky.
"Cloud-Dispelling Palm - Turning Clouds and Rain!"
With a single palm strike, the water vapor coalesced and surged towards the Yaksha like rolling clouds and waves.
"Raging waves crash against the sky!"
Yaksha struck back with his palm.
The moment the two palm strikes collided, the entire bathhouse was reduced to a mess.
"Uh~"
Yaksha spat out a mouthful of green blood; he had already been at a disadvantage in the previous exchange of blows.
Knowing he was no match for the opponent, he quickly turned and fled the bath again.
"Still want to run?"
Shen Zhao naturally wouldn't let him go and immediately chased after him.
Inside the teahouse, the little girl was still eating fried cakes, completely unaware of the impending danger.
Suddenly, chaos erupted in the street, with chickens and dogs running wild and people scattering in fright.
The girl raised her bewildered eyes and looked at the street with confusion.
Suddenly, she saw a man with a fierce face pushing aside several passersby and running towards the teahouse.
Above and behind him, a handsome young man was chasing closely, his feet planted on the wall.
"Who goes there? Stop right there!"
Two junior officers from the Jing'an Division immediately drew their crossbows to try and stop the two.
But before they could react, their bodies were thrown out of control, and their bows and crossbows fell to the ground.
The moment Shen Zhao landed, without saying a word, he kicked up a crossbow at his feet, aimed it at the Yaksha's back, and pulled the trigger.
blow--
puff--
Yasha felt a sharp pain in his back and his body stiffened instantly.
He couldn't believe that an ordinary crossbow could break through the Emperor's aura shield around him.
Without thinking twice, Yaksha endured the pain and rushed into the teahouse.
Seeing Shen Zhao chasing after him again, he grabbed the girl and held her in front of him.
"Back off! Back off!"
Just as Shen Zhao was about to shoot his second arrow, he saw that the man was using the girl as a hostage, and his pupils immediately contracted.
"Let her go! You're a Great Emperor Realm cultivator, yet you rely on a little girl for protection? Have you no shame?"
"I don't want to hear what you have to say. Put down that crossbow right now, or I'll tear it apart!"
The frightened girl couldn't help but cry.
"Mother, I want my mother!"
Yaksha's back was badly injured, and he was already in a tense state. The crying disturbed his peace of mind, and he suddenly became extremely irritable.
"Cry, what are you crying for? Stop crying! You lowly ant!"
He roared at Shen Zhao, "I told you to put down the crossbow, did you hear me?!"
He then made a gesture as if to snap the girl's neck.
"My child, my child~"
At this moment, the child's parents appeared in the crowd, and upon seeing this scene, they immediately cried and wanted to come to the rescue.
But they were quickly stopped by the Jing'an Division, which arrived at the scene.
"I'll say it one last time, put down the crossbow in your hand! Put it down! Do you hear me!"
Seeing that Yaksha's eyes were bloodshot and his pupils were flashing with an evil light, Shen Zhao knew that he could not provoke him any further.
So he dropped the crossbow and spread his hands.
"OK! Okay, I did as you said. Now release them."
