Chapter 133 - Unfortunately, You Don't Know Me Well Enough...
In Nanli City
Dao Tianming, accompanied by two disciples from his clan, was walking towards the residence where Luo Ruying was staying.
As they passed through an alley, a barbecue stall cart suddenly appeared, blocking their path.
Pushing the cart was a man with long, flowing hair that almost reached his feet. He had a handsome face with a cold expression.
Dao Tianming frowned slightly and carefully examined Ye Tianshen from head to toe.
He couldn't detect any spiritual energy from him, suggesting he was just a mortal.
However, even as a mortal, his appearance and temperament were exceptionally striking...
One could even say they surpassed his own!
The strangest thing was that this man had deliberately stopped his cart at the end of the alley, as if he was intentionally blocking their way!
Soon, Kuang Qiu, Chi Huan, and others appeared behind Dao Tianming in the alley.
Figures also emerged on the rooftops on both sides of the alley, looking down at the three of them!
Hmph... surrounded?
Could this be a mortal robbery...?
Dao Tianming wasn't flustered at all; instead, he felt amused.
He hadn't expected to encounter a situation where he would be robbed by mortals during his trip to the lower realm...
How interesting!
"Steward Dao, should we take care of them?"
The two clan disciples asked indifferently.
In their eyes, Ye Tianshen and the others were nothing more than ants they could crush effortlessly.
"No need~"
"Let's consider this a rare form of entertainment~"
Dao Tianming raised his hand to stop the two who were about to attack. He looked at Ye Tianshen in front of him and asked arrogantly,
"You lowly ants, do you know who you're facing?"
"If you sever one of your arms and crawl away, I might be in a good mood and forgive your insolence this time."
His words hung in the air, and the entire scene fell into a dead silence...
After a moment, Kuang Qiu and the others burst into laughter, almost unable to catch their breath.
"Hahahaha, he, he just called us what? Ants...?"
"This is the first time we've been called ants by bugs..."
"He's so innocently adorable, I want to keep one as a pet~"
Chi Huan covered her face, looking at Dao Tianming with amusement.
It had been a long time since she had seen such a foolish and adorable person from the Heavenly Realm...
If given the chance, she really intended to show mercy and keep him as a pet dog...
"If he dies, remember to give him to me. I can burn him into a skeleton for decoration~"
Yan Lili also chimed in with interest.
Even the usually stoic Ye Tianshen couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, revealing a scornful smile.
Their mocking and sarcastic remarks pierced Dao Tianming's ears like sharp needles!
He was an Immortal Venerable of the Heavenly Realm, a steward of the Dao Immortal Clan. How had he ever suffered such humiliation?!
These ignorant ants actually dared to take his final act of mercy as a joke!
Then they shouldn't blame him for being ruthless!
"You lowly ants! Die!"
Dao Tianming raised his arm and exerted his pressure on Ye Tianshen and the others.
The invisible pressure emanating from his body instantly enveloped them!
Just this slight exertion of his power was enough to crush these ignorant mortals into meat paste!
The terrifying pressure caused the walls and eaves on both sides of the alley to tremble and crack. However, Ye Tianshen and the others stood their ground, seemingly unaffected, looking at him as if he were a clown...
This, this was impossible!
Dao Tianming and his two disciples were instantly shocked and filled with disbelief.
Even with his cultivation suppressed in the mortal realm, as an Immortal Venerable, crushing a few ants should have been as easy as turning his hand, right?
Why were they completely unharmed?!
It was impossible for mortals to withstand his pressure, even those at the Heavenly God Realm in the mortal realm shouldn't be completely unaffected!
The fact that they could ignore his pressure meant they were definitely not mortals!
But he couldn't see through any of their cultivation levels!
That could only mean one thing...
Dao Tianming seemed to have realized something, and his expression grew even more terrified.
Could it be that all of these people's cultivation levels were higher than his...?
In the mortal realm, anyone who broke through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm could ascend to the Heavenly Realm. They usually wouldn't stay in the mortal realm for long.
And these people were gathered here, specifically blocking his path, and their cultivation was extraordinary...
"You... are you from the Demon Realm?!"
Dao Tianming asked in horror.
The two clan disciples behind him trembled upon hearing this.
They were actually surrounded by demons?!
"It seems you're not completely beyond saving~"
Chi Huan said with a playful smirk.
The others also revealed ferocious and terrifying grins, their pearly white teeth appearing like fangs, sending chills down their spines!
If it weren't for Yue Qingyou's orders, they would have torn these people apart long ago!
Such terrifying smiles, there was no doubt, they were definitely demons!
Fear surged within Dao Tianming's heart. He glanced around furtively, searching for a way to escape.
Now he understood that his initial sense of unease wasn't an illusion...!
But he couldn't fathom why demons would gather in this Nanli City!
And every demon present was extraordinary!
It seemed they had been waiting for him here all along!
"Steward Dao, wh-what should we do?"
The two clan disciples asked Dao Tianming timidly.
They knew all too well the cruelty of demons!
While Dao Tianming was still pondering, a beautiful and ethereal figure slowly approached from the end of the alley.
Upon seeing Yue Qingyou's arrival, Ye Tianshen and the others stepped aside, placed their hands on their chests, bowed slightly, and said respectfully,
"Greetings, Left Guardian!"
"Left Guardian?!"
Dao Tianming's expression changed drastically when he heard how Ye Tianshen and the others addressed Yue Qingyou. His eyes trembled as he looked at her.
He had heard of the new Demon Lord and his two Guardians who had emerged in the Demon Realm in recent centuries.
Among them, the Left Guardian of the Demon Realm, also known as the Grand Commander, was the one called the "Word-Spirit Reaper" by both the Immortal and Demon Realms!
As long as she spoke, your life was no longer in your own hands!
Even seeking death would become a mere delusion!
She was a woman who instilled terror and trembling in countless hearts!
"You two! Cover your ears immediately!"
Dao Tianming, being a seasoned steward of the Dao Immortal Clan, immediately blocked his own hearing and then shouted to the two clan disciples behind him.
The two disciples didn't dare to hesitate and quickly covered their ears.
"Hmph... It seems you recognize me."
"Unfortunately, you don't know me well enough..."
Yue Qingyou let out a light snort, a cold smile appearing on her serene face. She then spoke,
"Twist!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the two clan disciples beside Dao Tianming instantly had their entire bodies twisted and contorted hundreds of times!
Their bones cracked and snapped, their bodies twisting into long, thin spirals like twisted dough!
Blood continuously seeped out from the grotesque shapes...!
Their horribly distorted faces were turned towards Dao Tianming, their almost-popped-out eyeballs seemingly staring right at him!
Even after cultivating for hundreds of years and witnessing countless gruesome deaths, Dao Tianming couldn't help but be frightened by this scene. His legs trembled uncontrollably!
He suddenly remembered something.
During the Heavenly-Demon War over a hundred years ago, this woman was the terrifying existence who could cause tens of thousands of Heavenly Realm soldiers to die horribly with just a single word!
Her fearfulness was no less than that of the Demon Lord himself!
