What appeared to everyone else as Tian Haotian's incredibly fast attacks were, in Shen Sangruo's eyes, extremely slow, no different from a three-year-old child playing around. The difference in their cultivation levels was too great.
It didn't stir any waves in her eyes, nor arouse any interest.
When Tian Haotian was almost in front of her, she simply raised her hand casually and waved it lightly.
"Smack!"
A crisp slap echoed through the inn.
Then, Tian Haotian, who had been so aggressive, was sent flying like a dead fish, spinning several times in the air before landing.
This was the result of her hard work in practicing the Fanning Technique. Before finding her natal magic weapon, she could only use her hand as a fan to practice the technique.
No one knows better than her how to slap someone.
The inn fell into a deathly silence; you could hear a pin drop.
Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Chen Sangruo slowly wiped her hands before speaking unhurriedly:
"This is what it means to actually do it; what happened before was just kicking."
Her eyes were smiling, but everyone sensed a murderous intent.
Only then did they realize that their previous worries about Shen Sangruo were completely unnecessary.
She's definitely a female assassin!
This also made them curious about her cultivation level.
He actually neutralized Tian Haotian's attack with a single slap, and even sent him flying.
Tian Haotian crawled up from the ground and vomited a mouthful of blood.
He clutched his numb face, the burning sensation making him wince in pain.
In a daze, I swept across the bloodstains on the ground and saw that the red was mixed with some white.
He stared wide-eyed at the white object, as if in disbelief, then suddenly burst into a wail: "My teeth!!!"
The pitiful sound nearly blew the roof off the inn.
Even passersby outside the inn couldn't help but stop and watch, curious about what had happened.
The people of Qionglou City had never seen Tian Haotian, the young city lord, suffer such a huge setback.
I felt extremely relieved; finally, someone could properly punish this bully.
But their initial joy was quickly replaced by worry.
Although Shen Sangruo could suppress Tian Haotian alone, Tian Haotian had the entire City Lord's Mansion behind him.
How could she possibly stand against the entire city lord's mansion?
"You, it's you!" Tian Haotian's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked at Shen Sangruo with a gaze that seemed to want to tear her apart and devour her.
"Yes, it's me." Shen Sanruo smiled and replied calmly, seemingly not taking Tian Haotian's anger seriously at all.
Tian Haotian was so arrogant in Qionglou City that everyone treated him with utmost respect and had never been treated with such contempt before.
Now that he has suffered such a humiliating disgrace, how can he swallow this insult?
A treacherous glint flashed in his eyes, as if he were looking for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack or use a hidden weapon.
Little did he know that Shen Sangruo had taken in all of his expressions and subtle movements.
She slightly raised her eyes, made no move, and the pressure of a Golden Core cultivator in the early stage poured out the next moment.
Tian Haotian, who was trying to cause trouble, was immediately pinned to the ground and unable to move. He was easily subdued by her without any power to resist.
If his face hadn't been pressed firmly to the ground by the oppressive force, one would surely have seen an expression of disbelief on his face.
How could she possibly be a Golden Core cultivator?!
Those around Shen Sangruo were so shocked by her cultivation level that they dared not even breathe.
A girl who looks no more than ten years old is actually a cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core realm.
In comparison, Tian Haotian's so-called "genius boy" title seems even more laughable and not worth mentioning at all.
Under strong suppression, Tian Haotian finally dared not have the thought of harming her again.
But he still refused to give up. He was the young lord of Qionglou City! How could he be humiliated by someone who wasn't even worthy of carrying his shoes?
Even if she is a Golden Core cultivator, so what? There are many experts in the middle and late stages of the Golden Core stage in the City Lord's Mansion, and there is even a powerful figure who is about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
He'll make that arrogant bastard pay the price!
Tian Haotian yelled and screamed, "I'm telling you! You're finished! Do you know who I am?! Believe me or not, I'll make sure you never leave Qionglou City!"
Shen Sanruo just looked at him with amusement and didn't respond.
The air froze for a moment. Feeling awkward, Tian Haotian continued, "My father is Tian Yuanshan! Did you hear me clearly? I'll say it again, my father is Tian Yuanshan!"
These two sentences seemed to embolden Tian Haotian, making him even more confident. He arrogantly said, "If you know what's good for you, release me now, or I'll have my father turn you into a furnace first, and then chop you up and feed you to the dogs after he's done with you!"
"Watch your mouth." Chen Sangruo's cold eyes swept over him, and she raised her foot to stomp hard on Tian Haotian's head.
"You bitch! How dare you step on my head!" Tian Haotian's voice suddenly rose.
What a disgrace! It truly is a disgrace!
She increased the pressure of her foot, and Tian Haotian's curses immediately turned into wails.
"If you can't understand human language, I'll teach you to."
She glanced outside the inn.
A group of people, dressed in uniform, were hurrying towards the inn from a distance. They were cultivators from the City Lord's Mansion.
Tian Haotian's entourage had seen that something had happened to him and rushed back to the city lord's mansion to inform him.
They were the ones she was waiting for.
Tian Haotian also saw them and wanted to sneer, but he gasped in pain as his lips and face were pulled.
He mumbled, "See? My men are here. It's too late for you to kowtow and apologize now."
"Arrest her right now! Take her back to the city lord's mansion!" Tian Haotian shouted at the people outside again.
"Why the rush? There's no need for them to arrest me. I'll go to the City Lord's Mansion." Shen Sangruo's face was unreadable.
After saying that, she picked Tian Haotian up from the ground like a chick.
"What do you want to do? Let me go!" Face flushed with humiliation, Tian Haotian struggled desperately. "Are you all dead? Hurry up and save me!"
Upon hearing the sound, the several cultivators who had rushed over swarmed forward.
However, the subordinate who went to deliver the message assumed that no one would dare to act recklessly in the city, and the people he brought were not the elites of the manor.
With a wave of her hand, Shen Sangruosu conjured a fiery tornado that shot straight at the group, knocking them all back.
Not only that, the flames kept climbing up their bodies, instantly igniting their clothes.
A group of people jumped around and struggled for quite a while before finally putting out the fire on their bodies.
After the fire was extinguished, their eyes turned to Chen Sangruo with terror.
He immediately realized that she was not one of those women who could be intimidated with just a little intimidation.
With that kind of strength, they could all be roasted like chickens.
"Didn't we say we were going to the City Lord's Mansion? Lead the way." She stared at one of them and said with a smile.
The man swallowed hard, looked at Tian Haotian, then at Shen Sangruo, seemingly hesitant.
She snapped her fingers, a small flame leaping from her fingertips, and repeated, "Lead the way."
