Sheng Ning held a few spirit fruits in her hand and casually threw them down, hitting the man squarely on the back of the head.
When the man said he wanted to have a good talk with her, she chuckled and immediately revealed her identity.
When the soft laughter rang out, the man immediately turned around and saw the person he had been looking for, soaring through the air.
Upon seeing her standing on a long sword and holding a strange-looking green magical artifact in her hand, the two eight-foot-tall men froze.
"Brother, it's a magical artifact."
"It's top-grade."
When the trembling voice of the person next to him rang in his ears, the man's eyes reddened with anger.
He turned his head and glared at the other person fiercely, "Am I blind or are you brainless? Can't I see?!"
The younger brother shrank back after being scolded, saying, "Big brother, you're really irritable today."
How can I not be irritable?
He had seven underlings, several of whom were early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, yet they couldn't defeat a girl who was only a little over ten years old.
Not only could they not win, but those underlings lying in the deep pit were still unconscious, and they didn't know the extent of their injuries.
The thought of the bet he made with Sheng Ning in the restaurant earlier made the man's neck veins bulge with anxiety.
"Now that you've arrived, young friend, why don't we sit down and have a proper chat?"
"Or, whatever you want, as long as I have it, I will not be stingy."
This is a deliberate act of lowering one's stance, yet an unwillingness to surrender or admit defeat.
Sheng Ning looked down at the two men, his smile only widening. "You can fight if you want, and stop if you want. You're truly worthy of being the young lord of Saro City, so domineering."
"However, I have a bad temper. Since you provoked me in the first place, why didn't you think about the consequences now?"
"I'm sorry, I don't accept your suggestion."
A clear, melodious voice rang out in mid-air.
As Sheng Ning spoke, the two men in the snow both looked up at her.
The cool snowflakes landed on their cheeks, then melted into water droplets and slid down their skin.
When he heard Sheng Ning say that she would not accept his advice, the man's face showed surprise, and the next moment, his face became ferocious.
"Young friend, don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit."
Offending us will only bring you harm, not benefit.
The man had already said these words back in the restaurant.
Sheng Ning impatiently picked at his ear and laughed at him, "Brother, are you even a man?"
"Stop babbling and start fighting. If you can't win, just kneel down and surrender. Are these two choices really that hard for you to decide?"
Her words made the two men below look even more ferocious.
This is certainly a difficult choice.
Because no matter which path they choose, they will all end up being tied to the city wall.
The man stared coldly at Sheng Ning, and after a few breaths, a fierce look appeared on his face, and his eyes revealed a bloodthirsty killing intent.
"Azhuo, go behind her and grab her. There's a reward, a big reward!"
The underling, called 'A-Zhuo,' immediately lit up with excitement upon hearing about the big reward.
He nodded vigorously, and after pinpointing Sheng Ning's location, the two of them took to the air one after the other, preparing to flank Sheng Ning from both sides.
Sheng Ning had already made preparations long before they took any action.
The moment she saw them take off, the laser cannon in her hand was already ready.
Behind her, the vine-covered Chiu Chiu held a Gatling gun, and as Azhuo rushed forward, it immediately pulled the trigger.
"Chirp chirp—!!!"
Gatling guns have a high rate of fire, while laser cannons are powerful.
The man and the tree branch reacted with lightning speed. They didn't need to discuss any countermeasures; they just needed to point their guns at the two men and fire at them.
At first, the two men were able to evade Sheng Ning and Qiu Qiu's attacks to some extent.
Over time, they could no longer withstand the power of the artillery fire.
"Boss, what are they holding?! How can a tree branch be alive and talking?!"
Hearing his younger brother's constant complaints, the man was also quite busy.
Sheng Ning would sometimes use a laser cannon to sweep across him, and other times throw a small ball at him.
He took one, and the next instant, the little black cat exploded in his hand.
Even though Nascent Soul cultivators are tough and resilient, what he didn't know was that the small black ball he held in his hand was the weapon that had directly blasted open the gates of the Taixu Sect.
Therefore, when the small landmine exploded in his hand, he cried out in pain and almost chopped off his arm with his bare hand.
Hearing the scream of pain, A-Zhuo was so frightened that he forgot to dodge the bullets.
He peeked to the side, about to ask what had happened, when a sharp pain shot through his abdomen.
His lower abdomen was where his spiritual root was located. After dozens of bullets landed, he was in so much pain that he fell straight down from the sky.
"You shameless brat, I'll fight you to the death!"
Despite his trembling arms, the man gritted his teeth and summoned his natal artifact, unleashing his ultimate move. The snowflakes that were originally drifting in the air were instantly sucked up by a tornado.
When the snowstorm raged, Sheng Ning's clothes fluttered, and her eyes narrowed slightly to keep the snowflakes from getting into them.
"Chirp chirp?"
A cold vine reached out onto my neck.
Sheng Ning raised her hand and patted the vines, chuckling softly, "Don't worry, there won't be any major problems."
These days, everyone has a way to save their life.
The blizzard in front of her was growing larger and larger, almost swallowing her whole.
Sheng Ning frowned slightly, aiming the laser cannon in her hand at the person in the eye of the storm.
Immediately afterwards, A-Zhuo, who had been knocked to the ground, saw that petite figure that was about to be swallowed up by the blizzard.
A golden light appeared on her hand.
At first, Azhuo thought that Sheng Ning was a cultivator with a metal-type spiritual root. Metal is mainly for defense, so it was indeed difficult to break through.
However, the metal-type spiritual root can only defend against external attacks. It probably cannot defend against attacks like tornadoes that can blow her away.
The corners of his lips, which had been taut and straight, turned up slightly.
Just when Azhuo thought his older brother was about to succeed, he saw another green light appear in Sheng Ning's hand.
The smile on A-Zhuo's face froze, and a hint of seriousness appeared on her face.
If Sheng Ning has both metal and wood elemental roots, then it will be quite difficult to defeat him.
Moreover, his elder brother was also a cultivator with a wood-type spiritual root, meaning Sheng Ning had one more spiritual root than his brother...
Just then, Azhuo saw that not only golden and green light appeared in Sheng Ning's hand.
There was also earthy yellow, blue, and a wisp of pale blue light.
He had seen that dark blue light before; it was a fire that possessed its own consciousness.
His throat tightened. In all his life, Azhuo had only ever heard from his master that the strongest people of the past all had five elemental roots.
He had never actually seen a cultivator with five elemental roots.
Now he saw it, and it was on a teenage girl.
