36. Sit Back and Watch

Le Zuan disappeared from where he was standing and appeared right before Le Fangling in a blink of an eye. He was hovering on the air a few meters away from her and looked at her with cold eyes.

"Watch out!" Le Fangling shouted at the girl who was standing on the rock without moving a muscle but to no avail. What she spoke was not audible to the girl.

"Shh..Do not panic like this when you know things can not be changed here." Nagina hissed at Le Fangling and asked her to calm down.

"Just stay calm and watch what happens." Nagina used the ultimate calming jutsu as she snuggled in her hands and wiggled slightly.

"Right, I should do that.." Letting out an audible sigh, Le Fangling proceeded to see the progression of action. She tried to calm herself down but there was an uneasy feeling that was gnawing at her from inside making her feel like she had worms crawling all inside her.

"Thanks a lot.." She felt herself calming down at the action of system…no it was a snake now but whatever, she was glad she had her at this moment.

Meanwhile, Le Zhang looked at the two people who were staring at each other at the other side of the river, where he had been left stranded. Leaving the cow dung he jumped and landed perfectly on the other side of the riverbed.

Sensing the presence of another person near her, Le Fangling immediately increased her alertness and took a defensive stance.

"Who are you?" Le Fangling eyed both of the man simultaneously and gave a look of contempt. She paid no heed to whatever their status or delegation might be.

For her, those two were nothing more than two strangers who were suddenly coming at her and she was going to do all it took to defend herself.

"You.." Hearing the sharp tone of Le Fangling, Le Zhang widened his eyes in anger and yelled at her.

"Is that how you speak to us? You puny mortal." He gnashed his teeth and was ready to take out his sword.

"Le Zhang, get down. Do not butt in when I am here." Le Zuan shot a furious glance at Le Zhang and his body exuded a powerful pressure that was more than enough to make both people present there tremble and get down on their knees.

The ground where they stood trembled like there was an earthquake just under the sheer pressure of the aura he exuded.

Le Fangling quickly noticed the danger signs and she immediately somersaulted in the air and landed on the plain ground. She took hold of a long bamboo stick there and held it by her hand like she was holding a real sword.

Taking a defensive stance, she maintained a safe distance from them.

"I will ask you again, who are you and what business you have in this small village?" Her eyes stared straight at the man who was in the air since she figured it that he was the real boss between the two people.

As for the other guy who was only running his mouth, she knew better than anyone else to not bicker and banter with kids.

She pointed the stick at both of them and without faltering or trembling at the power they both gave of, she warned both of them.

"I am not letting you past me!!" She appeared calm and not a bit tensed. Seeing her, even Nagina and Le Fangling felt shiver run down their spine only because of the confident look in her eyes.

"Hah..what do you think you can do with that simple bamboo stick?" Le Zheng snickered and presented his own sword haughtily in front of him.

"You think you can fight us with that puny little weapon?" He have a loud laughter as he belittled Le Fangling.

He, who had trained since his child hood to be a martial artist could not believe he was being challenged by a little girl without knowledge about anything and that too with a bamboo stick?

Damn it all to hell!! He cursed as he let his own pride take the best of him.

"Humph, your pride and actions speaks it all." Le Fangling just scoffed at his remark and decided to ignore any more further comments from him.

The vein in his forehead twitched in anger while his expression turned ugly.

"I will make you eat your word today." He unsheathed his sword and was ready to attack her when he suddenly felt his body being restricted and immobilized. He could not move a muscle on his body.

"What did I say Le Zhang about behaving yourself?" Le Zuan had a murderous aura emitting from his eyes as he glared at him. Whole of his body reeked of unparalled power and strength.

"U-understood. So let me go now. Don't freeze me anymore." Le Zhang shouted at his uncle like a little brat making empty promises with his mother to not do something that he was going to absolutely do as soon as he was let free.

"I never constrained you!" Le Zuan shrugged his shoulder and answered pointing at him. "You are frozen there because of your fright."

"….."

What??

Le Zuan tried moving his body and realized he was not restricted by anything or anyone. Feeling ashamed, he tried to back off from where he was standing, his entire neck and ear area growing redder than a strawberry.

'I should really keep control over my killing intent, I might make people scared to their death..tsk tsk." Le Zuan sighed at his own strength that sacred his own nephew to the point of petrification.

But more than that he was more curious about the little lady who seemed to be unaffected by his pressure and even his killing intent.

"You too little lady, put down your weapon." Le Zuan gestured towards Le Fangling and spoke in his cold demeanor.

"I am not here to hurt you."

All the while, he tried to check if she was a cultivator and if she was then what her cultivation was. As someone who was in the final peak stage of Nascent realm, he more or less could do it easily as if it was just flicking of his finger.

"This…" He gasped in surprise looking at her since he could not believe what he perceived about her cultivation base.
