"Just this once!"
As Karina stood stunned, Er Zhu slowly walked over, casting a disdainful glance at her.
He had expected some perfect scheme from the esteemed daughter of the Kalin family, only to find this...
A flicker of disappointment and disdain crossed Er Zhu's eyes, while Karina was already seething with rage!
Everything she had meticulously planned was over before it even began. When had she ever suffered such humiliation?
Just this once?
But she was determined to see what Wang Er Zhu would do if she tried it more than once.
"Kill him!"
Just as Karina was about to leave, a cold voice suddenly echoed from afar. She looked up, and what she saw sent shivers down her spine!
Over a hundred bodyguards, all wearing sunglasses, were charging from a distance. They were exceptionally skilled and armed!
And Er Zhu was only a hundred meters away from them!
"Kill them!"
Karina's eyes darted, and she instantly guessed the identity of these bodyguards. With a wave of her hand, she ordered her own bodyguards behind her.
She had thought this matter was over, but she never expected the Liao family's bodyguards to arrive at this very moment!
Since fate had given her another chance, she would naturally seize it!
Huh?
Just as Karina thought she could play the damsel in distress, a loud noise thundered from afar.
In mere breaths, Er Zhu had taken down half the bodyguards, and even killed over a dozen!
Karina's face instantly darkened, a hint of surprise in her eyes. She knew Er Zhu was skilled, but she hadn't realized he was so powerful!
After all, the Liao family's bodyguards were elites among mercenaries!
"A bunch of good-for-nothings!"
The leading Liao family bodyguard, seeing the shocked and furious expressions on the fallen guards, waved his hand, and all the bodyguards quickly retreated.
Whoosh...
At that moment, a fierce gust of wind swept through, blowing everyone away except Er Zhu!
A barrier appeared between Er Zhu and the Liao family bodyguard, and waves of true qi surged towards Er Zhu!
He was a cultivator!
Er Zhu's gaze flickered with surprise as he looked at the ordinary bodyguard before him, but it was fleeting, and he quickly regained his composure.
It didn't matter if he was a cultivator; his strength was very weak, not even at the entry level.
"How dare you kill my junior brother! I will turn you to ashes!"
Boom!
Accompanied by a roar, a torrent of true qi shot towards Er Zhu!
The Hongming Saber at Er Zhu's waist buzzed, as if it had been summoned and was about to fly out!
So, he was the true owner of the Hongming Saber!
Er Zhu looked at the humming Hongming Saber, a slight smile curving his lips, but his eyes remained as calm as ever.
Pfft!
At this moment, the Hongming Saber suddenly flew out, its sharp tip aiming directly at Er Zhu!
"Heh, so the Hongming Saber is with you!"
Seeing the Hongming Saber, a flicker of surprise mixed with anger appeared in the bodyguard's eyes. He had intended to kill Er Zhu with his true qi, but unexpectedly found the Hongming Saber that had been lost for years!
The Hongming Saber was a treasure given to him by his master, and he had nurtured it with his true qi for over a decade. This was why his true qi could reawaken the Hongming Saber!
As for its current owner, he would become a soul under its blade!
"Die!"
With this thought, the bodyguard exerted more force. The immense true qi and the Hongming Saber turned into a beam of light and shot towards Er Zhu!
Er Zhu, however, stood calmly in place, watching the approaching weapon!
Outside the barrier, Karina's eyes widened, trying to see the battle, but the scene was hazy, and all she could hear was the roaring sound.
"Miss, we should go back. The Liao family bodyguards are so powerful, that Wang Er Zhu is surely dead!"
Seeing his young lady moving closer, the captain of the bodyguards grabbed her, his worried gaze betraying a hint of hidden delight.
That arrogant Wang Er Zhu was finally getting his comeuppance. After he died, his young lady could have her revenge as she pleased!
"Back to the hotel. I'll wait to save Wang Er Zhu!"
Karina's eyes twinkled. She suddenly remembered some snippets of Chinese dramas she had watched, and the dying embers of hope in her heart were reignited!
As Karina and her group returned to the hotel, only Er Zhu and the bodyguard remained at the grand hotel entrance. At the same time, the true qi and the Hongming Saber were about to hit Er Zhu!
Er Zhu formed a hand seal and recited an incantation. The surging true qi and the Hongming Saber were forced to halt, unable to advance even an inch!
Huh?
The bodyguard's brows furrowed, a look of confusion and shock in his eyes. He never expected this Wang Er Zhu to be a cultivator as well!
But, so what? He was from a prestigious lineage, and Wang Er Zhu was no match for him!
The bodyguard took a deep breath and exerted more force, but no matter how hard he tried, the true qi and the Hongming Saber remained unresponsive!
How could this be?
The bodyguard was utterly shocked. He had cultivated for over twenty years to reach his current level, yet Wang Er Zhu, who looked to be only in his early twenties, was stronger than him!
No, this was absolutely impossible!
The bodyguard shook his head in disbelief and exerted more force. But just then, the true qi and the Hongming Saber suddenly changed direction!
"No!"
Squelch!
Before the bodyguard could finish his words, the true qi and the Hongming Saber pierced directly through his body. Blood splattered everywhere, and a gaping wound appeared on his abdomen!
The bodyguard collapsed heavily onto the ground, his eyes filled with shock and fear. He had intended to kill Wang Er Zhu, but instead, he was the one who died!
And Wang Er Zhu was completely unharmed!
The bodyguard's shocked gaze was filled with anger and unwillingness, but all these emotions were now meaningless!
His body grew colder, his vision blurred, and finally, everything turned to darkness!
As the bodyguard died, peace returned to the scene. Er Zhu smiled faintly and strode away.
"My god, did you see how Er Zhu moved?"
Watching Er Zhu's retreating back, Karina's eyes widened, and she looked incredulously at the bodyguard beside her.
The bodyguard thought for a long time, but could only shake his head slightly. Everything had happened too quickly, and the scene was chaotic. How could he have seen clearly?
"He's not dead! He's actually not dead!"
Karina's eyes were about to pop out in shock. She gripped the bodyguard's shoulder tightly and shook him with all her might.
That bodyguard was the strongest person she had ever met, yet Wang Er Zhu was not only alive but unharmed!
This was simply unbelievable!
A flicker of fear crossed Karina's shocked gaze. She suddenly felt that her revenge was a foolish endeavor.
"Miss, we should go back. This Wang Er Zhu is truly formidable!"
The bodyguard, having recovered from his shock, swallowed hard and reminded Karina, while his gaze unconsciously followed Er Zhu's retreating figure.
Before they came, his master had said that China was a magical place. He had initially thought his master was exaggerating, but now he knew it was true!
