Chapter 16 - Cruelty

Blood dripped down Deng Mao’s blade, and Zhou Boyan’s heart grew heavier as more blood was drawn.“Miss Zhou is really cold. This is the seventh person. Do you still refuse to save them?”

Deng Mao looked at Zhou Boyan with cold eyes, and scornfully said, “Look, this little boy is not even ten years old yet. Poor boy… he’s dying due to your indifference.”

With the sword blade pointed towards the chest of the frightened child, Deng Mao smiled and said, “Little boy, won’t you beg your sister?”

“Elder Sister, help me! I’m scared, I’m so scared!” The little boy was frightened and cried out loudly, he wanted to run away, but he couldn’t do so.

“Bastard! He’s just a child, let him go!”

“Whether I let him go or not is your choice, not mine.” Deng Mao indifferently said, “It’s not just him. Today all these people will die because of you.”

“Son, be quiet! The men of our Zhou family can die, but can never cry!” A middle-aged man struggled while taking a step forward and yelled at his child.

“”

Luo Kun gently applauded and praised the middle-aged man, “How touching! You would rather sacrifice your own child than to sully the dignity of Shadow Sword Villa, I am so moved!”

Luo Kun went to the child step by step, and smilingly said, “What a lovely child, your name is Yang Yang right? You tell me, is your sister a bad person?”

“Yes! My sister is a bad person.” He was very frightened and bit his lips while nodding his head.

“How about you hit her back? She had killed so many people. You should punish her so she won’t harm anyone, ok? ”

“…I don’t dare!”

“You must do this!” Luo Kun was still laughing like a demon, “If you do not hit her, I’ll kill you! Aren’t you afraid of death?”

“Aren’t you ashamed of bullying a child like this?” Zhou Boyan asked in a cold voice. Her eyes were full of hatred.

At the same time that Zhou Boyan opened her mouth, the child had already rushed over and punched and kicked her.

The child under ten years old has no strength at all, so it was impossible to really hurt Zhou Boyan, but his fist and foot, instead inflicting physical pain, seemed to directly pierced her heart, making Zhou Boyan feel like it was hard to breathe.

Luo Kun did not care about Zhou Boyan’s question. He said lightly, “Miss Zhou, my patience has been nearly exhausted. Do you give in now?”

…

“Gee, this girl is really tough, she still won’t give in.”

Blended in the crowd, Wu Chi was calmly assessing the situation. Even though he was nearly unable to contain his killing intent, his face had to remain calm.

“What do you know? This lady is a smart one. As long as she does not open the seal, these disciples will have a chance to live. But once she opens the seal, they will no longer have a value left and will get killed.”

“That makes sense!” Another guy nodded, and the person next to him looked back at Wu Chi, “Hey, brother, are you a new guy here?”

“I’m just someone insignificant! If Young Master Luo can get the Shadow, maybe there might be other treasures left for us.”

“Yeah, it depends on how much longer Miss Zhou can hold on. I think she is nearing her limits now due to Luo Kun’s viciousness.”

…

“Luo Kun, you don’t have to waste your energy! Nearly all the people of Shadow Sword Villa have been killed by you, the only difference now is either an early or a late death!” Zhou Boyan’s face grew colder and colder as she raised her head, “Since I have returned here, I planned to die together with the Shadow Sword Villa. What’s more, no one except me can open this seal. No matter how strong you are, if you try to force your way inside the Sword Pavilion, you will only be able to activate the counter-mechanism which will destroy the sword. The Shadow can never be yours!”

Hearing that, Luo Kun grew even more murderous!

Zhou Boyan was too composed, and the only feelings behind her eyes were disdain for him and the desire for revenge that transcends her own death!

It was due to this fact that Luo Kun became angrier!

For The Shadow, he had sacrificed a lot of things, and even did not hesitate to bet his reputation on the line. If the Shadow was really destroyed, he would suffer a big loss.

If words of him abusing his power had gotten out, he would become the laughingstock of everyone.

Coming to this realization, evil thoughts suddenly surfaced in Luo Kun’s mind!

Staring at Zhou Boyan, he said, “Zhou Boyan, this is your last chance! If you still insist on refusing, I can do anything to you!”

These last words of Luo Kun held a lot of weight.

“I don’t want to kill anyone. As long as you hand over the sword, I can let you go! Even these people, I can let them go too!”

“Let them go?” Looking at Luo Kun contemptuously, Zhou Boyan mockingly said, “If there is a survivor from Shadow Sword Villa, this matter will be revealed! Would you dare let them go and damage your reputation as a disciple of Tian Shan? ”

Zhou Boyan had a firm grasp over the current situation.

As long as there were people living from Shadow Sword Villa, once someone has notified Immortal Changchun of this matter in the future, this matter would obviously blow up.

If he wanted to get the Shadow, he had to kill everyone here.

As long as there were no living souls, there was no proof, and without proof Immortal Changchun could no longer intervene! As for rumors regarding him, he did not care about that, rumors were just rumors in the end.

Lou Kun stared coldly at Zhou Boyan as if he wanted to kill her with his stare!

After a while, Luo Kun slowly said, “Miss Zhou, it seems that you do not understand that sometimes, death is a luxury.”

It seemed that he was losing his patience, he kicked the child who was still punching Zhou Boyan seeing that the child was out of breath.

With a sneer, Luo Kun went on to say, “Miss Zhou, are you sure you want to resist?”

Zhou Boyan was still indifferent, she slowly closed her eyes. She had no interest in answering.

“Good, good!”

Luo Kun began to speak loudly.

“Gentlemen, Miss Zhou is a beautiful woman. In the past, you couldn’t even imagine that you could get her! Now, I’m giving you this chance!”

“She’s here! You can do whatever you want to her, you guys understand?”

Those who remained here were evil people who were looking for benefits. They immediately understood what Luo Kun meant.

For a woman, especially a beautiful woman, death was not the most terrible thing.

Zhou Boyan opened her eyes again, and this time, her eyes were full of anger and shame!

She was not afraid of death, but such humiliation was more terrible than death!

Suddenly, Zhou Boyan brought her sword to her neck and was going to kill herself!

“”

Almost at the same time, Luo Kun suddenly drew his sword at Zhou Boyan’s wrist with precision. Zhou Boyan’s sword was flung off into the distance.

What’s more, his body moved and flashed towards Zhou Boyan in an instant!

The lightning-like attack was so fast that there was no room to parry it. A few breaths later, Zhou Boyan’s body had been completely restrained. Her pressure points and meridians were sealed. She couldn’t even lift a finger.

This was the first time that Luo Kun had taken action. His overwhelming strength revealed itself at that moment.

Even Zhou Boyan, who had already stepped into the Transcendent Mortal realm, had no room to fight back.

Indeed, a Tian Shan disciple had strength that was beyond one’s imaginations, despite his own character, he was one of the core disciples in Tian Shan.

Holding Zhou Boyan’s chin, Luo Kun said, “Miss Zhou, I will give you one last chance! Open the seal and I’ll grant you a quick death!”

Zhou Boyan felt suffocated under the tremendous pressure placed on her.

Under this threat, she could barely hold herself in. Only darkness awaits her. What else could she do?

At this moment, everyone felt that Zhou Boyan was finally giving up.

However, Zhou Boyan’s cold voice resounded.

“”

“Do you think I would be scared?” Although she had lost all her strength, there was still no fear in Zhou Boyan’s eyes—only hatred remained.

“I am the master of Shadow Sword Villa, and I will bear all the sins! Our clan elders have sacrificed themselves, I won’t let their sacrifice be in vain!”

“You can defile my body, but you could not move my heart!”

“I swear you’ll get nothing from me!”

Under the body of a 17 years old girl lies an unwavering will!

At this moment, Zhou Boyan was breathtaking!

Even other people who initially wanted to defile her felt shame from her words.

Luo Kun suddenly hesitated, but instead of feeling bad, he felt even more humiliated!

Luo Kun’s eyes flashed with madness, and said, “Let’s see how strong you would be! Somebody, come here and strip her! I want to see if she can still keep up a strong front!”

…

“”

At this moment, Wu Chi’s eyes turned red. He clenched his hands so hard that he dug his fingernails into his hands until blood slowly flowed out from his fingers. Sᴇaʀch* Thᴇ NøvᴇlFirᴇ(.)nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Although he knew that there was a cruel fate waiting for Zhou Boyan when she came back, the result was still beyond his imagination!

He wanted to rush up and tear Luo Kun into pieces to relieve the killing intent in his heart. However, the remaining trace of reason told him that he would not change anything if he rushed out like this, and would only throw away his life for nothing.
