With a muffled "thud," Xiang Yusheng thought his strong body could withstand the seemingly ordinary broadsword in the hyena's hand, but he never expected that the hyena would cut off half of his body with a single blow!
Enraged, Xiang Yusheng fled the scene and disappeared without a trace! Only Xiang Yaozu remained, lying on the ground, seemingly lifeless.
"A bunch of trash!" The hyena sneered, its broadsword scraping across the marble floor, sending sparks flying. It reached Xiang Yaozu, raised its blade, and swung it down towards Xiang Yaozu's head!
Xiang Yaozu suddenly opened his eyes, and countless extremely strong ropes stretched out from his body, binding the hyena tightly in an instant, making it look like a mummy.
Suddenly, Xiang Yusheng appeared from behind! He was holding a syringe and smashed it hard into the hyena's neck!
The hyena convulsed for a moment, then fell straight to the ground, unable to move...
"Hehe, you're awake?" The hyena opened its eyes somewhat dazedly, then found itself bound hand and foot to an alloy bed, where Xiang Yusheng looked at it with a smile.
"What do you want? What have you done to me?" The hyena tried to struggle, but found that apart from being able to speak, its whole body was as if it had been injected with anesthesia, and it couldn't move at all! It was like a vegetable!
"Don't get agitated. If you cooperate with us obediently, we might be in a good mood and release you after the experiment. So you'd better cooperate with us now, otherwise, if we get angry, we'll tear you to pieces and put your body on their bodies. Then the reputation of the Langcheng Duo will be ruined by you!" Xiang Yaozu patted the hyena's face and then pointed to a toad that was about the size of a round table not far away.
"If I put your head on this toad, and then put the toad's head on top of you, do you think your companions will recognize you when you go out? Hahaha..."!
"You can try!" The two said calmly, looking at Xiang Yaozu's sinister grin, not even having the strength to hate him!
"Hehe, we'll arrange it for you without your reminder. But before that, let's do a little test to see how much supernatural power our Yang Sha bodies have. I hope you won't disappoint me!" Xiang Yaozu said, looking at the hyena.
"Don't worry, I won't let you down!" the hyena said with a blank expression, feeling like one of those effeminate men who were called stars in the early 21st century. His acting was similar to what he was doing now, with a blank expression, and if necessary, he would wear a fleshy mask.
Xiang Yusheng and his son began to work around the hyenas, with countless tubes and needles inserted into their skin, while data was displayed on instruments not far away.
"Hahaha... As expected of one of the Twin Fiends of Langcheng, your combat power is off the charts! Eh? Wait a minute, why isn't there a fire attribute? Can you explain that?" Xiang Yaozu turned to look at the hyena and asked.
“You want to see? Let me go, and I’ll show you!” the hyena said.
"Heh, what good would it do to let you go? You're as soft as a noodle now, you can't scare me!" Xiang Yaozu said, then began to fiddle with and operate the instrument.
"Alright, what you superhumans owe me, we're going to take it all back now! I'll go see my mother and sisters after we've used your power to wipe you all out!" Xiang Yaozu said, then tapped a key on the keyboard.
The hyena felt the spiritual energy and supernatural power within its body slowly flowing through the tubes and needles to another place!
"Hahaha, incredible, what a huge harvest!" Xiang Yusheng and his son looked at the nearly one hundred syringes densely packed in front of them, their faces filled with excitement. These things would allow them to kill a great many superhumans!
Langcheng
The fifth floor of the Star-Picking Tower
Ru Huan, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened her eyes. This time, she didn't know how long she had been missing, but judging from the dust on her body, it must have been at least several decades!
I never expected that time would pass so quickly after I began my enlightenment! But I sensed the current situation in Langcheng, and then ignored it. With a slight tremor, my clothes became spotless, and a purple glow appeared on the back of my head, making me look incredibly divine!
Shanghai Stock Exchange
Inside the secret laboratory in the basement of Brahma Technology Co., Ltd.
Xiang Yusheng and his son were at a loss for words to describe their current feelings. Seeing the mountain of various supernatural syringes piled up in front of them, they felt extremely excited!
"Beep beep beep..." Suddenly, alarms began to sound from all the instruments in the entire laboratory! The data on the instruments surged like a volcanic eruption!
"What's going on?" Seeing the data on the instrument, Xiang Yusheng and his son were completely bewildered, not knowing what had happened!
Especially the instrument that just started testing fire-type data jumped from negative numbers to tens of thousands in a second! And it's still skyrocketing!
A deafening roar!
Suddenly, flames shot up from the hyena's body on the alloy bed, reaching a height of over ten meters, instantly vaporizing all the surrounding instruments and equipment!
The alloy bed turned into a cloud of mist, and the hyena was suspended in mid-air, motionless!
"What...what's going on?" Xiang Yusheng and his son stared dumbfounded at the hyena engulfed in flames, completely at a loss!
"Didn't you want to see my fire? Did you see it?" The hyena landed lightly on the ground, its flames subsided, and then came to Xiang Yusheng and his son.
"This is impossible! You've been poisoned by my strange poison, yet you can still move? This...this..." Xiang Yusheng stammered.
"Oh? So this thing is called a strange poison. You extracted it from that strange person. Tell me honestly, and maybe if I'm in a good mood, I'll let you go. But if you piss me off, you and your son will both die here, and you'll suffer a fate worse than death. I can kill you in an instant, or I can make you die for hundreds of years! The choice is yours!" The hyena said with a sinister grin.
"Hmph! We admit defeat this time. Do whatever you want with us, but don't expect to get any information out of us," Xiang Yusheng said resolutely.
"I hope you'll have the same backbone later!" After saying that, the hyena extended a finger, and a wisp of flame, like a fiery rope, firmly bound Xiang Yusheng and his son!
The flames sizzled and crackled as they burned the flesh of Xiang Yusheng and his son, and wisps of bluish-white smoke rose from their bodies, but the father and son gritted their teeth and refused to submit, even at the cost of their lives!
"Your bones are pretty tough, aren't they? I hope you can hold on!" The hyena chuckled, and the flames binding Xiang Yusheng and his son instantly turned purple!
"Hmm!" Xiang Yusheng couldn't help but groan first, his whole body slowly melting like wax!
Xiang Yaozu was soon melted by the strange purple flames, just like his father!
"As expected of the Twin Fiends of Langcheng, the green hills remain unchanged and the green waters flow on forever. We'll meet again someday. I hope you'll still be just as powerful next time we meet!" After Xiang Yaozu finished speaking, his flesh and blood were burned to ashes by the purple flames, leaving only a black mark on the ground...
The hyena burned down the entire office building of Brahma Technology Co., Ltd., and emerged from the raging fire carrying a bottle containing Shangguan Qiangwei's soul.
When the firefighters in Shanghai saw someone emerge from the flames, they didn't dare approach, because their superiors had already given instructions that the fire in this building should not be extinguished and should be left to burn!
The hyenas weaved through the crowd and then soared into the sky...
"I never imagined that there were such talented people as Xiang Yusheng and his son in this world. They're amazing!" Li Xia exclaimed.
“Exactly! If my master hadn’t suddenly returned, I would have had to put in a lot of effort to break free!” the hyena said.
"Where do you think those two are hiding right now?" Li Xia asked with a smile.
“The more dangerous the place, the safer it is. Given Xiang Yaozu’s personality, he and his son should be in our Langcheng, starting to prepare for the big clean-up. We should seize the opportunity while our master is here!” the hyena said.
“Okay, let’s begin!” Li Xia nodded and said.
Countless transparent figures, like crystals, emerged from all parts of Langcheng, as did countless creatures wreathed in flames, and then began a purge of the entire city…
Countless supernatural beings and creatures hiding in the shadows were all dragged out and slaughtered by these beings, a process that lasted for more than four months before the intensity gradually subsided...
Countless supernatural beings and creatures were killed, and countless people came out to protest. All the protesting creatures were also killed. Li Xia and the hyena didn't waste any words with these creatures. If they could kill them, they wouldn't waste any more words!
The people inside Langcheng finally experienced the legendary purge of Langcheng, which terrified those who harbored illusions and planned to subvert the city, and they never dared to set foot in Langcheng again...
"Hehe, look who we found!" Li Xia said with a smile.
"I didn't expect that these two cunning foxes would still fall into our hands. It wasn't easy! We killed so many of their clones before we finally found them. Young Master Xiang, it must have been tough hiding in Langcheng, right?" Li Xia teased.
"Hmph!" Xiang Yaozu glared at Li Xia and the hyena with hatred.
"Come on, give the father and son a quick death!" Xiang Yusheng said to Li Xia and the hyena, looking as if he was ready to die.
"Want to die? It's not that easy. Didn't I tell you before? I can make you die in an instant, or I can make you die for hundreds or thousands of years!"
"You superhumans deserve to die! If you superhumans don't all die, we ordinary people will never have a chance to rise up!" Xiang Yaozu cursed at the two hyenas.
"Sigh... It's impossible to be a good person right now!" Li Xia sighed, looking up with a sad expression.
"What do you mean by that? You want to kill us, and we should be grateful to you?" Xiang Yusheng said with a face full of hatred.
“How long are you going to wait? Come out, we’ve found your brother, father, and husband,” the hyena shouted into one of the rooms inside.
The door to the room slowly opened, and a small head timidly peeked out from inside, looking at the people outside.
A pair of clear, transparent eyes looked at the people outside, then fixed their gaze on Xiang Yusheng and Xiang Yaozu.
"Brother? Dad?" The little head called out, and then rushed from inside the house to Xiang Yusheng's side, hugging Xiang Yusheng's leg tightly.
"Am I...dreaming?" Xiang Yaozu looked at the two familiar people smiling and walking towards him, their faces streaked with tears.
"Mom! Sister!" Xiang Yaozu finally couldn't hold back his tears and burst into tears!
"I heard you're really something now! You dare to challenge Grandpa Hyena to a duel!" Xiang Yaozu's sister wiped away her tears and then glanced at her younger brother, who was already taller than her, and said.
“Am I that old? Call me brother!” the hyena said with a displeased look.
"Hmph! You're almost two hundred years old and still pretending to be young, have you no shame?" Xiang Yaozu's sister made a face at the hyena in a very mischievous way.
"Now that you are a family, you can go now!" Li Xia said with a smile.
"You're just letting us go like this?" Xiang Yaozu could hardly believe his ears.
"Otherwise what? Should I stay and treat you to dinner?" the hyena said irritably.
Xiang Yusheng and Xiang Yaozu exchanged a glance, then pulled their older sister, mother, and younger sister to kneel down in front of Hyena and Lixia.
"What are you doing? It's not New Year's or any holiday. Besides, I'm clean as a shell, I don't have any red envelopes, I don't have any!" the hyena said hastily.
"I can't thank you enough! If you ever need my help in the future, I'll go through fire and water for you!" Xiang Yaozu said, looking at Li Xia and the hyena with gratitude.
"Stop with the nonsense and get lost! Just seeing your father makes me angry!" The hyena waved its hand and chased away Xiang Yusheng's family...
"Father, are they real? Am I dreaming?" Xiang Yaozu held his sister's hand tightly, afraid that it was all a dream.
"It's true! I've already investigated!" Xiang Yusheng also looked incredulous.
"What? You doubt that we're real?" Xiang Yusheng's wife said with a displeased look.
"No...that's not what I meant!" Xiang Yusheng quickly explained.
"What do you mean by 'not that'?" Xiang Yusheng's wife questioned.
"You two stop thinking about these things. Grandpa Hyena and Grandpa Lixia went through a lot of trouble to find our DNA, then they went to find our souls, and then they found our DNA at the Shangguan Group's Human Research Center, which is how we came to be who we are today!" Xiang Yusheng's youngest daughter said in a soft, sweet voice.
"What are you doing back here again? Are you going to fight us again?" the hyena asked, looking at Xiang Yusheng and his family who had returned to its location.
"Please give us a chance!" Xiang Yusheng said to the hyena very seriously.
"No way! Get out of here!" the hyena said, waving its hand dismissively.
"We also want to join the Langcheng team, please accept us!" Xiang Yusheng said earnestly.
"You guys? To be honest, what you're doing is somewhat immoral. Stop it, Azu," the hyena earnestly advised.
“We can help Langcheng, but the three of you can’t possibly handle it all. I don’t think your Bureau of Extraordinary People is reliable either. During your large-scale purge this time, you probably killed off most of the Bureau of Extraordinary People!” Xiang Yaozu said.
"You've come here to laugh at us?" The hyena glared at the little brat, preparing to teach him a lesson.
"I'm not just stating the facts, so you need people like us to work together to maintain the peace of Langcheng!" Xiang Yusheng said.
“That makes sense, but I’m afraid you’re all ingrates!” the hyena said.
"If we betray Langcheng and you, may my whole family die a horrible death! May we all go to the eighteenth level of hell and never be able to rise again..." Xiang Yaozu said urgently.
"Alright, alright... no need to say anything useless. Our Langcheng Bureau of Extraordinary People is suffering from a talent shortage, each generation is worse than the last. You two, oh no, you family, go to the Langcheng Bureau of Extraordinary People. Don't bother me here, it's giving me a headache!" the hyena said, looking pained.
"Thank you, Grandpa Hyena!" Xiang Yaozu said.
"What did you say, you little brat? Say it again if you dare! Don't run away, or I'll teach you a lesson! I told you to call me 'Brother!' Brother Dog!" The hyena chased after Xiang Yaozu and said...
“Your Shangguan Group also lost more than half of its members in this purge. It seems we’re really getting old and don’t have the energy to deal with these things anymore,” Li Xia said to Shangguan Qiangwei.
"Thank you for not giving up on me this time. I have an idea now, and I hope you can agree to it!" Shangguan Qiangwei said, pursing her lips.
"Tell me your thoughts, and let's see if we can accept it!" Li Xia asked.
"I want to step down and give up the Shangguan Group to the capable. After all, I have occupied this position for nearly two hundred years. I won't die, and I have outlasted batch after batch of people. I want to cultivate immortality with you!" Shangguan Qiangwei said.
"The Shangguan family and group have now expanded globally, and you even have people on the moon. Are you willing to give up such great power?" the hyena asked.
"What's there to be reluctant about? You can't take anything with you when you die, so why not cultivate immortality like you and live a carefree life?" Shangguan Qiangwei said with a longing look on her face.
"Us? And you think you're all carefree?" The hyena gave a wry smile. This woman had no idea that she and Li Xia were constantly on edge, afraid that their master would suddenly leave again, causing their strength to plummet! That feeling was even more thrilling than riding a roller coaster! They were afraid that while fighting someone, their strength would suddenly vanish—that would be even more exciting!
"Have you already thought of someone suitable?" Li Xia asked.
“Not yet. Ever since what happened with Zhipeng, I can’t even believe myself, except for you guys. I’m afraid I’ve been possessed. So every time I go to sleep, I set a hint for myself when I wake up the next morning. If I don’t get the hint right the next day, my home’s smart system will alert you that I’ve been harmed!” Shangguan Qiangwei said, looking exhausted.
"Then you should manage it yourself, or maybe Lixia should come? I'm not doing it, it's giving me a headache!" the hyena quickly said.
"Me? Forget it, I feel like I'm doing just fine as I am now. I'm getting old, and I don't want to deal with these kinds of troublesome things!" Li Xia quickly waved her hand and said.
Looking at the two powerful duo from Langcheng, Shangguan Qiangwei felt a pang of bitterness; she knew she couldn't shake them off.
"Why don't you find someone to brainwash him directly? That way we won't have to worry about them having ulterior motives," Shangguan Qiangwei said to the Twin Fiends.
"Find a puppet? Wouldn't that just be exhausting for us? Forget it," the hyena quickly waved its hand and said.
"Anyway, I don't want to do it anymore. You guys figure it out yourselves. I want to enjoy my retirement in peace!" Shangguan Qiangwei didn't care whether Hyena and Lixia agreed or not; she was going to go on strike.
I'm going to live for myself now. I've served the Shangguan family for so many years, it's time for me to enjoy life and steal a moment of leisure.
Zhaixinglou (Star-Picking Tower)
The six layers represent the six directions.
The six directions refer to the top and bottom, and the four cardinal directions.
Ru Huan easily entered the sixth level of the Star-Picking Tower and began to use her Daoist energy to create all things in the world, in all directions.
Ru Huan takes herself as the center, considers herself as Taiji, Taiji gives rise to Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang are the two polarities, Yang is Qian, which is heaven, Yin is Kun, which is earth, when heaven and earth first opened up, it was a world.
The two polarities give rise to the four symbols! The four symbols are the four directions, and the four directions are guarded by four divine beasts: the Azure Dragon of the East, the White Tiger of the West, the Vermilion Bird of the South, and the Black Tortoise of the North.
The two polarities and the four symbols generate the six directions, which is the rudimentary framework of a world.
Ru Huan began to develop this world, but she still felt something was missing, so she kept creating more worlds. Countless worlds appeared here, and slowly they formed an ocean of worlds!
Various worlds float together, each independent and forming its own entity, slowly revolving around Ru Huan as the center!
Ru Huan formed these fragments of worlds into a universe, then derived another universe based on that universe, and then derived yet another universe from those universes, and so on, in an endless cycle.
I am the master of these universes, I am the Tao and the law of these universes! My single thought is the eternity or even the eternal existence of these universes and worlds!
Ru Huan passed through the six layers of the world and sensed that the outside world had undergone earth-shattering changes. However, her own Langcheng was also changing, but her Zhaixing Tower remained unchanged.
The Star-Picking Tower is surrounded by all sorts of buildings. Apart from the tower itself and the plaza it occupies (formerly Death Plaza, which remains unchanged), the surrounding area has become incredibly futuristic.
Various kinds of flying machines, like countless fireflies, shuttled among the towering buildings, and countless humanoid creatures appeared on the streets, living in harmony with humans...
Looking at the dazzling world outside, Ru Huan felt a pang of melancholy, realizing she had spent far too much time in it.
Langcheng
Inside a hospital under the Shangguan Group, Shangguan Qiangwei smiled as she looked at the people standing in front of her.
"Oh dear, I really can't wait any longer, so I'll have to go first. But I still have some regrets. It's been so long since I've seen our boss, and I miss her terribly. I wonder where she is now!" As Shangguan Qiangwei spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
Just as everyone was about to comfort Shangguan Qiangwei, a ripple suddenly appeared in the space, and a girl who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old walked out of the ripple and looked at Shangguan Qiangwei lying on the hospital bed very calmly.
"Boss... boss, it really is the boss! Am I about to die and hallucinating? Can you see? The boss is here!" Shangguan Qiangwei, lying on the bed, was very excited, tears streaming down her aged face.
Ru Huan slowly walked to Shangguan Qiangwei's side and took her hand.
"Boss, no need. I've lived enough. I don't want to live anymore. Thank you, boss, for coming to see me off at my last moment. Really, boss, thank you so much. Thank you for giving me this rich and colorful life. I am already very content!" Shangguan Qiangwei closed her eyes peacefully, marking the fall of an era in Langcheng.
"You're the boss? You look even younger than me," the little girl standing among a group of strangers said softly, looking at Ru Huan with wide eyes.
"Xiaoxi, don't talk nonsense, boss. The child doesn't know any better, please don't mind him," the people around her pleaded in fright.
"You two, come with me!" Ru Huan glanced at the strangers, then said to Hyena and Li Xia. The crowd watched as Hyena and Li Xia followed the girl into the ripples and disappeared from sight...
"Now I will no longer control you. You two are no longer my spirit slaves. You are free. Go do whatever you want. I can let you live forever." He then said, looking at his two spirit slaves.
"Master, are you going to abandon us?" The hyena looked at Ru Huan with a face full of sorrow.
"Master, we will always be your spirit slaves, please don't abandon us, okay?" Li Xia pleaded.
“Everyone has their own world, everyone has their own way of living. I have taken up hundreds of years of your time, and now I am setting you free. This is my compensation to you!” After saying this, Ru Huan stretched out one of her hands.
A soft light from his fingertips enveloped the hyena and Lixia, then he began to release the spiritual bonds between them, elevating their strength to an extremely high level!
"This meeting may be our last. Take care!" Ru Huan said to her two spirit slaves.
"Plop"
Lixia and the hyena both knelt down, then sobbed and begged Ruhuan not to leave them, not to abandon them. When they finally looked up, Ruhuan was nowhere to be found.
Ru Huan quickly comprehended the seventh level of the Star-Picking Tower, followed by the eighth level, and then the ninth level! Her progress was unstoppable!
Earth's chronology
The year 3082 AD.
Langcheng
Zhaixinglou
Suddenly, the entire Star-Picking Tower emitted a crimson glow, and the whole tower radiated a peaceful aura. A divine rainbow appeared in the sky, and the Star-Picking Tower rose from the ground and flew towards the divine rainbow, disappearing into the horizon...
Later, Hyena and Lixia rebuilt an identical Star-Picking Tower on the site of the old Star-Picking Tower in Langcheng. However, on the very day it was completed, it was completely destroyed by countless bolts of lightning that seemed to support the sky. Hyena and Lixia almost met with disaster!
From then on, Langcheng no longer had the Zhaixing Tower, nor did it have Ruhuan...
Ru Huan rode the divine rainbow and flew towards the other end of it.
Nantianmen
The three dragon-shaped figures, radiating divine light, illuminated all directions.
Ru Huan arrived here and prepared to enter the South Heavenly Gate.
"Halt! What kind of demon dares to trespass into the South Heavenly Gate! You deserve to die!" Suddenly, two groups of people rushed out from both sides of the Heavenly Gate, surrounding Ru Huan with murderous intent! They were preparing to kill her!
"It's a misunderstanding. I was just passing by and had no intention of going in. Please make way for me!" Ru Huan said.
"Hey! You audacious monster! Everyone who comes here is preparing to enter the Heavenly Gate. Only after entering the Heavenly Gate can one be considered a deity. Besides, there is only one road leading to the South Heavenly Gate. You say you're just passing by, so where are you planning to go? You'd better tell the truth, or you'll be in for a world of hurt!" A man with a beard as black as a coal miner's, covered in needle-like hairs, roared.
"Have I offended any of you? Why are you all acting so fiercely and demanding that I confess?" Ru Huan's tone turned cold as she saw these unreasonable and foolish people.
"You audacious fiend, how dare you argue! Come here, seize her, then tie her to the lightning-summoning platform and let the five thunderbolts strike her for forty-nine days!" This creature was about to attack Ruhuan without any explanation!
"I'm trying to talk to you nicely, but you just won't listen. You prefer to fight by brute force, right?" Ru Huan watched as these creatures attacked her with all sorts of weapons. She didn't back down either, and gently pointed a finger at them!
Countless creatures that rushed forward exploded and died instantly! They had no chance to resist at all; in less than a breath, more than half of these creatures were dead.
The rest of them stared in horror at this ruthless man who killed without a second thought. Seeing Ru Huan's brutality, the creature that looked like a coal miner quickly pulled out something and threw it into the air!
With a loud "bang",
A huge firework burst in the sky, almost filling the entire sky!
"Brother, I've already called for reinforcements. Are you planning to settle this privately or officially?" the coal-like creature asked.
"What's wrong with settling it publicly or privately?" Ru Huan asked, pointing a finger at the coal ball's forehead.
"Hey, hey, hey... Brother, don't be impulsive. Let me tell you, a private settlement means we'll resolve this privately. Look, you killed so many of my brothers, shouldn't you compensate us for our losses?"
"My poor brothers all have elderly parents and young children to support, and they haven't even found wives yet. Now you've killed the only breadwinner of their families. Shouldn't you pay compensation?" Coal Ball said, trying to dodge Ru Huan's fingers that were pressing against his forehead, but he couldn't get away.
"What about the public one?"
"Going public? Going public means waiting for the people from Heaven to come out, then they'll start investigating the scene, taking statements, and then arresting the suspects—that's you. Once a murderer like you is arrested, he'll never want to get out for the rest of his life. Think about it carefully, you're still so young!" the coal ball said.
"Who? Who called the police?!" Not long after, two creatures riding two white tigers appeared here.
"Sir, it's me, it's me!" Coal Ball waved his hand as soon as he saw the two creatures appear, ran up to them, took out a golden stick from his body, gave one to each of them, and then lit it with his fingertips.
"Hey Jiang Hei, are you illegally collecting tolls here again?" One of the creatures took a deep drag on the golden stick and said with a look of utter ecstasy.
"Third Brother, you're joking. We are all law-abiding citizens, how could we possibly cause you any trouble? Don't you think so?" The creature named Jiang Heihei said with a fawning expression.
"Then why did you call the police? Are you bored out of your mind?" another being said.
"Second Brother, didn't I bring a few brothers out to hunt some wild game today? This creature came up to us and demanded protection money. When we refused, she killed a few of my brothers. You have to stand up for us!" Jiang Heihei said to Ruhuan not far away with a bitter and resentful look on his face.
"Hey! You thing, get over here!" The creature called Second Brother roared at Ru Huan.
"Is this thing calling me?" Ru Huan asked in return.
"I'm a Sin Hunter, not some kind of thing," the second brother blurted out without thinking, then realized that what he said was a bit off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
“That’s right! We two are hunters of sin, not scum. You and I should open your eyes and see clearly!” Jiang Hei said arrogantly, pointing at Ru Huan.
"How the hell am I not a thing? Who the hell are you calling a monster?" Second Brother slapped Jiang Heihei on the head and cursed.
“Yes, yes, Second Brother is a real man, not a criminal hunter,” Jiang Heihei quickly flattered.
"I'm a hunter of sins, I'm not a thing, I'm a thing, oh my god, you've confused me, you're the one who's been going around in circles and has me completely bewildered!" Jiang Heihei got slapped by his second brother again.
“A new face! Where are you from, and where are you going?” Third Brother ignored the two good-for-nothings beside him and asked Ru Huan.
"Come from where you came from, and go where you want to go!" Ru Huan replied.
"Sigh, what you're saying seems right, but it also seems wrong," the second brother said, scratching his head, looking somewhat confused.
"It's her! She killed my brothers! Second brother, third brother, you two, hurry up and arrest her and lock her up in jail!" Jiang Heihei said, pointing at Ru Huan.
"Interested in joining us?" Third Brother ignored Jiang Heihei's words and just looked at Ruhuan and asked.
"A hunter of sins? Not interested, too much trouble!" Ru Huan said.
"Don't push your luck! Let me tell you, we Sin Hunters are incredibly powerful in Heaven. It's an honor for you to join us!" Second Brother said, seeing Ru Huan's disdainful look.
"Being with creatures like you, I'm afraid I'll become as stupid as you. Let's just forget about it!" Ru Huan refused outright. People like this would definitely be useless teammates in crucial moments, so there was no point in even considering them.
"What do you mean? Are you saying we're stupid?" the second brother asked, looking at Ruhuan.
"Yes! Your IQs are really, really worrying!" Ru Huan replied.
"Oh no, this creature is going to be in big trouble. Everyone in the Heavenly Court knows this idiot, Second Brother. Never, ever tell him he's a fool. If you do, Second Brother will make sure he's either dead or gets a severe beating!" Jiang Hei thought to himself, looking on with amusement.
"What do you want to do? You'll die if I make a move. I don't want to cause any unnecessary misunderstandings, so you'd better not come any closer!" Ru Huan warned as her towering second brother walked towards her.
"Hehe, what are you doing? I'll teach you a lesson! You think I'm as fragile as those Jiang Heihei guys? You think you can kill me with a light press? You're dreaming!" Second Brother ignored Ru Huan's warning and continued walking towards her, raising his fist, which was as big as a casserole dish, and punching her!
As Ru Huan watched the fist hurtling towards her with a whooshing sound, she pointed a finger at her second brother's fist instead.
With a "crack," someone's bone broke!
"With your small frame, you dare to go toe-to-toe with your second grandfather's fists? Don't you even know what's going on... Ah, my hand, my hand is broken! Third brother, save me!" The second brother, who was still smugly boasting about how strong he was, suddenly saw that his hand had been broken by someone's finger, and he immediately lost his composure.
"What's the panic? Food won't leak from there. Just recite a hemostatic spell first!" Third Brother said.
"Oh, then you have to avenge me, right? Um, how do you chant the hemostatic incantation? I forgot!" The second brother scratched his head and stammered as he spoke.
"Second Brother, let me help you stop the bleeding?" Jiang Heihei hurriedly ran over and said.
"Join us! We Sin Hunters need experts like you. Cough cough, he's just an exception, a special case. Not all Sin Hunters are like Second Brother!" Third Brother whispered to Ru Huan.
"Tell me what your Heavenly Court is like first, and then I'll decide whether to join or not!" Ru Huan took the opportunity to ask this third brother about the Heavenly Court.
