The Great Demon King’s Eyes Were Sparkling (Part 1)

Since she last witnessed Shao Qingrou use Star Soul Power, Lu Jiu Que had studied it clearly.

Star Soul Power was very powerful, as it could even easily cut off demonic beasts' heads. However, the speed at which these low-ranking Star Soul Masters utilized it was extremely slow, seeing as it required adequate preparation and warm-up.

If she could beat these Star Soul Masters to the draw and subdue them before they used their Star Soul Power, then these Star Soul Masters would be nothing more than paper tigers without teeth. They wouldn't be worth fearing.

She had foreseen and accordingly planned for this opportunity when she dealt with Li Ronggui.

On the other hand, Shao Qingrou's leg had been trampled upon and smashed by a demonic beast, thus there was no way she could move at this point in time. If she wanted to kill Shao Qingrou before the latter could unleash her Star Soul Power, it wouldn't be a very difficult thing to do…

But this poisonous flower had repeatedly tried to trap her in dangerous situations and drive her toward her doom. How could Lu Jiu Que let her wither and fall so simply?

Her eyes moved from Li Ronggui to Shao Qingrou, then back again to the former, and she repeated this twice. Lu Jiu Que smiled again, but this was an abominable smile that would drive anyone mad with anger. It wouldn't have been out of line to say she was acting like a snob, since her disposition was haughty, her chin tilted towards the sky.

As she was playing with her iron bar, she was also saying in an unconcerned manner, "Miss Shao, it's just the two of us. You don't need to put on a show. Don't you hate me? I hate you too, so I'm not going to spare anyone who's on your side!"

After finishing her statement, Lu Jiu Que jabbed Li Ronggui's body several more times with the bar, hitting his vital acupoints so hard each time that Li Ronggui almost fainted from the pain. He couldn't even manage to let out a weak cry for help.

Seeing that Li Ronggui looked like a dying duck in a thunderstorm, Lu Jiu Que laughed contemptuously and said, "Hahaha, who did you say this dying dog was? Can you repeat it? Hm? I didn't hear you clearly just now… What, Elder Li? I'm so scared. Hahahaha!"

If it had been anyone who knew Lu Jiu Que well, they would have known that this was merely the beginning of her attack. Just like a ferocious beast ready to hunt, she was setting her trap step by step and luring her prey into it.

Watching this extremely wild and arrogant side of Lu Jiu Que, Shao Qingrou subtly froze for a moment, then instantly understood the reason for Lu Jiu Que's unusual behavior.

Even after playing around with their emotions for such a long time, Lu Jiu Que was still unaware of Li Ronggui's true identity. This must have been why she dared to beat the hell out of Li Ronggui so arrogantly!

This was just… great!

Really too great! Haha!

Shao Qingrou was so elated that she wanted to jump for joy. She nearly laughed out loud, but considering Li Ronggui was still around, she could only force herself to hold back the joy that was growing enthusiastically inside her. Putting on a deeply distressed and infuriated look, she said, "You… You're really so… Aye! Who else?! Of course, we mean Elder Li of the Heavenly Divination Sect's Loyalty Hall! The grade-two alchemist, Elder Li Boyi!"

"Grade-two alchemist, Elder Li Boyi?" Lu Jiu Que's face stiffened, and her triumphant expression fell apart instantly. Even the iron bar she held in her hands fell to the ground with a clang. She was utterly startled as she exclaimed, "You, you… What are you saying…? Don't lie to me! I'm not going to believe you! He, he… How could he be possibly be the son of Elder Li Boyi?! You're lying to me! He's just a hitman that you hired randomly, right?!"

It had to be said that Lu Jiu Que's performance was simply magnificent. With a nervousness that seemed so heartfelt, even Aunt Chang was taken in. So, upon hearing Lu Jiu Que's alarmed cry, she followed up by saying, "Missy… This, this… Who is this Li Boyi? This, this…"

Lu Jiu Que curled her lips, like she was almost on the verge of crying, and answered, "It's… I think he's an extremely powerful Master Alchemist…"

Aunt Chang's face turned ghastly pale. She felt a sense of hopelessness, like the end of the world was approaching.

Alchemists in the Heavenly Divination Sect were very lofty and noble characters. Even a mere woman like Aunt Chang knew this.

Offending an alchemist from a certain sect, and a grade-two alchemist at that… This was game over!
