Chapter 549: Chapter 548: Truly Hilarious
The greedy old man’s eyes shimmered with intense greed, and his tone was even more impatient: "Give me the Qiankun Bag, and I can let you live a little longer!"
To someone who kills as easily as cutting vegetables, being able to let someone live a little longer in his hands is nothing short of mercy.
Yun Ran couldn’t help but laugh out loud at the old man’s self-talk.
"Have you gotten so used to stealing others’ belongings that you always think everyone else’s treasures are yours?"
She had encountered many ruthless people, and many Evil Cultivators who regarded human life as worthless had died at her hands.
But she had never met someone so arrogant, as if the entire world was at his beck and call.
The greedy old man didn’t expect that with such mercy, the little girl in front of him still dared to be so unruly.
"Since no one has taught you to yield when meeting someone unoffendable, allow me to teach you a lesson!"
The greedy old man planned to first break Yun Ran’s two hands to give her a small lesson.
Unfortunately, the venue wasn’t right; otherwise, he would have immediately used a secret technique to seal Yun Ran, so as not to waste the quality of the Blood Pill.
Yun Ran’s lips curled slightly, having already seen the malice in the old man’s eyes.
Just right, she hadn’t intended to spare this person who dared use unripe Xuan Sect talents to refine Blood Pills.
Under the greedy old man’s somewhat disdainful gaze, Yun Ran swiftly tore out several sheets from the Sealing Book.
As her hands formed a spell, she murmured incomprehensible incantations.
Until, beside Yun Ran, five or six black beast shadows suddenly emerged, emanating a thick bloody aura and killing intent.
The old man looked at Yun Ran, somewhat incredulously.
"You... Aren’t you from the righteous Xuan Sect? How can you be involved with such evil beings, even able to command them!"
Yun Ran rolled her eyes: "Is that so rare? Who told you that people from the righteous Xuan Sect can only stupidly wait to be schemed against by your sinister means?
How I choose to handle things is none of your business. If my heart is in the right place, then any means are merely means. As long as they deal with you, they are good means!"
Most of the evils sealed in the book had their bodies destroyed long ago.
Of course, some rely on absorbing darkness and don’t need a physical form, but Yun Ran typically doesn’t release them.
Now that the seals are broken, their powers are only one-tenth of their peak strength.
But if their opponent is human, their odds of winning can drastically rise to eighty or ninety percent.
"How... how is it possible for a righteous Xuan Sect member not to..."
Yun Ran watched the old man who had just portrayed a ’weak should be bullied’ attitude, now utterly incredulous, making her chuckle.
"What a joke, do you really think people from the righteous Xuan Sect all follow rules and can be constrained by so-called orthodox principles?
I’m not insane; rather than being harmed by someone who doesn’t adhere to rules at all, I’d prefer to be the aggressor!"
Saying this, Yun Ran’s demeanor carried a bit of mockery in her eyebrows and expression.
Anyone with eyes could see that Yun Ran was sincere, and the so-called orthodoxy could not suppress her at all.
Yun Ran raised an eyebrow slightly: "This is an appetizer I prepared for the ’guest’ from afar, which is you. I hope you enjoy it well."
Saying this, Yun Ran stepped back two paces, giving center stage to the evil shadows.
In other settings, Yun Ran might be cautious, at most releasing only one sealed creature.
But now it’s different; this Death Mountain is the perfect place to deal with those in the way.
"Go, show this gentleman a little color, or else keeping you is a waste."
As she said this, Yun Ran’s voice held an incredibly cold tone, clearly warning these cunning evil beings.
If they dared to slack off, she wouldn’t hesitate to destroy the parchment they depended on for survival.
As long as she burned the sealing paper, these evil entities would never have a chance at resurrection.
The threatened creatures shivered slightly in their spectral forms, evidently truly intimidated by her threat.
Most of them had lost their bodies, and if they were to lose the sealing paper, they would be utterly annihilated.
Faced with this terrifying threat, they couldn’t vent their frustration at Yun Ran, so they directed it completely at the greedy old man opposite them.
The overwhelming killing intent instantly enveloped the area, and the greedy old man’s gaze finally turned serious.
At this moment, he clearly realized that the little girl in front of him was someone not constrained by rules and boundaries.
Using means targeted at orthodox Xuan Sect members was utterly useless.
The greedy old man finally got serious, pulling out his Magic Artifact, a amber-colored Golden Pull.
Before battle, it’s always worth cursing a bit: "Little girl, if you hand over the orthodoxy you have, this old man may spare your life!"
"So much nonsense!"
Yun Ran looked at the shadows attacking the old man, and said indifferently, "Do it!"
Those snakes, insects, rats, and ants hiding in the corners hoping to see Yun Ran be defeated at this moment furiously started digging new holes for themselves.
Each one was terrified of the scene in front of them; no one had told them how frightful the humans from outside were.
Boo-hoo, their ancestors misled them; otherwise, they wouldn’t be dumbly waiting for humans, thinking of devouring them!
Luckily, they had honed their burrowing skills over the years; otherwise, they’d have no place to hide.
The evil beings, with their sharp teeth, lunged to tear at the withered old man, their bizarre claws aiming to rend him apart.
As the metallic sound of the Golden Pull rang out, Yun Ran had already shut off her hearing, allowing her to stand unphased.
However, the evil shadows close to the old man suffered some setbacks, preventing further progression.
If initially these shadows were forced by Yun Ran’s threat to target the old man,
Now, the sound of the Golden Pull genuinely infuriated them.
One of the shadows, with a raspy voice, declared, "Petty human, dare you resist; obediently wait for us to shred you!"
This tone was identical to how the old man had spoken to Yun Ran and those he had harmed before.
It was the first time the greedy old man felt how detestable this manner of speaking was.
