115 Golden Cobra's Facility (6)
Seeing Lin Minyi's qi sword pointed directly at his vicinity, Ronald knew that he couldn't hide his presence any longer and decided to emerge out of the darkness.
The reason why Ronald didn't decide to help Lin Minyi out in the fight even though he had promised Lin Minyi's younger sister that he was going to also deal with The Golden Cobra was because he was certain that she was going to win.
And what determined that factor wasn't due to the fact that he knew that Lin Minyi's strength alone would defeat the Golden Cobra.
To be completely honest, he had thought that The Golden Cobra was going to eventually emerge victorious.
What mainly determined it was the skill that Lin Minyi had used.
Weapon Spirit Art, a technique where a person uses their thoughts and mind to create and control a weapon condensed out of their qi.
While this technique wasn't very uncommon for cultivators to use, the main thing was that only high level cultivators could use them.
After all, it was a technique that required a ton of experience, practice, and qi for the skill to even be useable.
Not only that, but this technique should've been unheard of until a couple of years from now.
Of course, that doesn't mean that she couldn't use the technique as of now, since she technically did have enough qi to use the Weapon Spirit Art.
It's just that she doesn't have enough qi or experience to maintain it for long.
So the fact that she was still able to maintain the Weapon Spirit Art skill all the way up to now meant that she was talented, and an incredibly talented one at that.
One that will undoubtedly shake this world to the core if she was properly trained, nourished, and cultivated correctly.
But well, Ronald really couldn't care less about that.
So with that being said...
"What do you think you're doing?" Ronald asked in a cold tone while standing slightly far away from Lin Minyi.
"You knew, didn't you." Lin Minyi wasn't intimidated by Ronald at all and replied back in a resolute tone.
"About?" Ronald questioned.
"Don't play dumb, you had no intentions of letting me live to begin with." Lin Minyi said with absolute certainty.
"Oh? And why do you think so?" While Ronald was extremely confused in his head, he maintained a stoned face.
"The equipments that all of the guards were wearing, they were all created... by your family." Lin Minyi announced angrily.
"..."
Huh?
Was this woman crazy?
Let alone even sell them, why would the Kuangge family even own equipments that could easily rival most of the average cultivators this early on in the novel?
It wasn't like the Kuangge family had people that were extremely overpowered and brilliant people under their control.
At most, the Kuangge family only had cultivators in the Qi Condensing Realm under control.
And even that was a far stretch since Ronald has never seen someone in the Qi Condensing Realm working for the Kuangge family even once in his past life.
But either way, it's a good thing that people like Lin Minyi overestimates the power of the Kuangge family.
After all, with the amount of uncertainty that's happened so far in this life, he wasn't certain if the Kuangge family would even be able to last before Ye Fan ends up causing the family to collapse.
"So? What do you plan on doing about it then?" Ronald smiled in a light but wicked manner.
"...I'll kill you." Lin Minyi stated in a slightly quiet tone.
"You, the 9th level of the Innate Realm, want to kill me? You've just regained your life back, are you sure you really want to throw it away again?" Ronald stated in an arrogant tone.
"..." Lin Minyi couldn't help but start to contemplate while still keeping Ronald in her peripheral view.
To be completely honest, she didn't want to fight Ronald at all whatsoever.
Even though she couldn't sense Ronald's cultivation level at all and he just seemed like a mortal in her eyes, she still knew for a fact that Ronald was definitely stronger than probably anyone else she's ever encountered throughout her entire life, including the bastard that had murdered her whole family.
However, since she was almost certain that Ronald definitely had no plans of letting her go to begin with, she wasn't going to go down without a fight.
And she definitely wasn't going to give up her body to him as well.
Not even if Ronald was in the Nascent Soul stage, which was considered the peak of cultivation.
Of course, there were realms much higher than the Nascent Soul realm, but the way to obtain those realms has been lost in time.
So with that in mind...
"I don't care, even if I fail, I'll still try anyways." Lin Minyi said with an unwavering look on her tone.
"I see, what a foolish decision." Ronald shook his head out of disappointment.
Afterwards, he just stared at Lin Minyi... quietly but menacingly without moving even a single inch, just like a predator closely observing its pray while waiting for a good time to strike.
Lin Minyi didn't move as well, but stared at Ronald with eyes that seemed like they said 'come at me.'
Then after a long staredown against each other for a few more seconds, Lin Minyi eye's couldn't help but start to quiver.
Why?
Because she saw a floating qi sword appear right besides Ronald's shoulder.
However, what she saw next shocked her even more.
1 sword...
2 swords...
3 swords...
4 swords...
5 swords...
100 swords...
That's right, about 100 floating qi swords, that all looked the same as her qi sword, but in a black color all appeared around Ronald, and aimed directly towards her.
But how...?
How did Ronald know about this skill!
That should've been impossible!
Even if Ronald was someone at the Nascent Soul stage, he shouldn't be able to know how to use this skill at all.
After all, this was a skill that she had managed to create all by herself through tons of trial and error.
So the fact that Ronald not only somehow knew how to use her skill, but also seemed to know how to easily control 100 flying swords using his mind shook her to the core.
Let alone even control one flying qi sword, she was already struggling to even maintain the qi sword that she was holding with her hands.
While as she was staring at Ronald's power in complete awe however...
SWISH!
A black qi sword flew right by her right cheek before she could even react to it, causing her right cheek to slightly bleed.
Lin Minyi couldn't help but lift up two fingers and touched the blood on her face, while staring at Ronald in absolute fear now.
Although she had Ronald and his 100 floating qi swords completely in her line of sight, the fact that she couldn't even react to the speed of the sword that Ronald had shot at her clearly meant that she stood absolutely no chance against Ronald whatsoever.
After all, fighting Ronald with her current cultivation level right now was like a mortal going up against a god.
It was just absolutely impossible to do.
So with no more motivation to fight anymore, Lin Minyi dispersed the qi sword and completely collapsed and stared at the floor with complete despair in her eyes.
Immediately afterwards, footsteps could be heard slowly approaching her.
Then after a few seconds later, the sound of footsteps came to a halt.
So Lin Minyi slowly lifted her head up and saw Ronald looking down at her, with an extremely cold look on his face.
"Before you kill me off... can I at least request a favor? Please don't treat my younger sister to harshly, she's been through a lot, and I don't want her to suffer more than she already has to." Lin Minyi clasped her hands together and begged Ronald while tears were streaming down her eyes.
Ronald didn't immediately reply back but continued looking at her with a cold and expressionless face.
"Please... I beg of you!" Assuming that Ronald's silent expression meant no, Lin Minyi kowtowed down and begged one more time.
Just as she was expecting for the worst however...
"Just go tell your sister to hold up her part of the deal." Ronald then completely disappeared out of thin air right in front of Lin Minyi, leaving her in this now abandoned facility alone and utterly confused.
