Chapter 34: Following the Asshole

  "Sorry, uncle, I won't let you hurt my girlfriend."

  Huoran is a petty person, can be said to be vengeful. Since he couldn't outtalk the black-clothed girl, he would use actual actions to 'refute', anyway he's a man, it's impossible for him to lose out. Thinking of this, his hands wrapped around the black-clothed girl's slender waist tightened involuntarily, making the two almost zero distance apart, even able to feel each other's body temperature. Not only did he wrap his arms around her, but Huoran's large hands also gently stroked up and down, provoking the black-clothed girl in his arms, whose face was originally full of surprise, to suddenly flush with anger.

  Even if the girl was angry, she couldn't get angry at this time, and instead turned from anger to shyness, 'lightly patted' her chest and said with a smile: "Hateful, there are others here!" Her expression seemed as if she had really been kissed by her lover in front of outsiders!

  If this girl in black were born on Earth, Howard would have believed that Oscar was her.

  "Ah...... die already!"

  A middle-aged man took the behavior between the two as a joke, he roared and suddenly appeared a cold light overflowing treasure knife in his hands, then with force chopped towards the two with a majestic momentum.

  If he had said earlier that he only wanted to get his hair wash back from the black-clothed girl and teach her a lesson, now the two of them have completely infuriated him with their 'insults' to his intelligence and character!

  "Go to hell!" The middle-aged man's six-path pinnacle law force poured into the treasure knife in his hand, leaving only a ray of light wherever he passed, without even making a sound of breaking through the air.

  He suddenly shook his head and sighed, the Wangwu Dongtian technique unfolded, his right palm was empty, and the five fingers above it suddenly burst out with dazzling light. The five lights intertwined and transformed into a single chain of light, which was thrown out, causing the space to crackle with energy.

  Clang!

  The light that flashed as the treasure sword cut through was touched by the light chain for an instant, emitting a piercing sound like steel clashing. The middle-aged man only felt his wrist shake, almost letting the treasure sword slip out of his hand. Fortunately, he had strong magical powers and rich experience, and at the critical moment, relying on years of experience, he fiercely kicked with one foot, grasping the hilt to flip it over, dissipating the light chain's striking force.

  Suddenly, the light chain on his right palm emitted a dazzling glow. He pointed at the middle-aged man and said with a smile: "You are not my opponent, why don't you leave?"

  Although Wang Xu and the man in front of him were both at the peak of the Six Paths, the former's combat power was far higher than the latter. Even Wang Xu wasn't a match for Huo Ran, so would this suspected loose cultivator be his opponent? The two didn't have any deep grudges or hatred, it was just because of a misunderstanding. Of course, Huo Ran hadn't thought about killing him.

  But when these words reached the middle-aged man's ears, it was a different story. The old anger had not dissipated, and new anger arose, how could he bear it? The precious sword in his hand seemed to also sense its master's intense rage, humming as it raised its thick blade, then transformed into a heavenly sword chopping down.

  "Good!"

  As the man's momentum surged, a flash of sharp light flickered in his eyes, and the Eight Extremes Stepping Star technique unfolded. His entire body flashed in and out of sight, accompanied by a whirlwind as he charged forward. At the same time, the light chain in his hand occasionally lashed out, and for an instant, the air was filled with the sound of clashing steel.

  "Come on, Brother Qiang, beat him up!"

  "Kick his butt!"

  "It's been so long, how come you still haven't defeated that old man......"

  The black-clothed girl who started the commotion was watching the two fight with great interest, occasionally waving her fists and cheering them on. However, most of the time she was lamenting that Huo Ran didn't seize the opportunity to strike harder.

  Huo Ran's face turned increasingly unsightly during the battle, not because the middle-aged man was stronger than he had imagined, but because of the black-clothed girl behind him. Taking advantage of the mysterious Eight Extremes Treading Stars, he approached the middle-aged man's right side, forcing his opponent to retreat with a punch, and then turned around to glare at the black-clothed girl: "If you speak nonsense again, believe it or not, I'll perform an erotic play with you in front of this uncle?"

  "Pshaw!"

  The girl lightly scolded the color wolf, but she didn't continue to judge this battle whose outcome had already been decided. It's unknown whether she was truly afraid that Huo Ran would take action or if she had other thoughts, but her sparkling and moving eyes betrayed their owner.

  "Hmm..."

  In the arena, a beam of light seemed to possess immense power, striking from an unexpected angle and hitting a middle-aged man, who was caught off guard and sent flying three meters away, with scarlet blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.

  "I've said you're not my opponent." He scattered the light chain in his hand, and with a smile that seemed to be both smiling and not smiling, he looked at the middle-aged man who was trembling all over with anger. Pointing at the black-clothed girl standing beside him, who seemed to be thinking about something, he laughed and said: "I've never met her before, so you can do whatever you want to her, I won't intervene."

  The middle-aged man looked at Huo Ran seriously, then turned to look at the smiling black-clothed girl, and finally his gaze fell on the small wooden box in her hand. After a moment, he let out a soft sigh and turned away.

  "I'll be back!"

  Although Huo Ran had made it clear that he had no relationship with the black-clothed girl, their previous behavior was too suspicious. The middle-aged man, although reluctant to part with the hair-washing medicine in the small wooden box, couldn't grasp what was going on and could only swallow his anger and leave.

  Hit? Hit that gray-clothed youth? Even if the young man was telling the truth, would he be given what he asked for if he went up to ask the black-clothed girls himself? He couldn't hit the gray-clothed youth and couldn't outrun the black-clothed girl... The middle-aged man was so angry that he could only drop a not-so-venomous remark and leave.

  In the "send-off", a middle-aged man left, and the black-clothed girl turned her head to look at Huo Ran, who was unmoved, with a smile that seemed like a smile but not quite: "You just let him go like this, without killing him to silence him, in case he seeks revenge in the future?"

  "Anyway, seeking revenge isn't about seeking revenge against me!"

  He suddenly threw out a sentence, didn't even glance at the girl, and turned to walk away. However, the fallen flowers are heartless, but the flowing water has intentions. The black-clothed girl obviously didn't want to let He Ran go so easily, chased after him and asked: "Hey, your skills aren't bad, what's your name?"

  Hiss...

  The girl was answered by Huo Ran's Eight Extremes Treading Star Method, he didn't want to have any more involvement with this girl. If something were to happen again, he would become the scapegoat. As for beating up the girl, well, that wasn't an option, after all, although she had brought him some minor trouble, she didn't seem like a bad person. So Huo Ran could only choose to slip away quietly and make a quick escape.

  Looking at the scenery on both sides rapidly receding, suddenly he felt that the air was exceptionally fresh and just wanted to sing a song to express his excitement of getting rid of the black-clothed girl. But then, by his ear, he heard that haunting voice again: "Don't run away, my name is Su Yanzi, you haven't told me your name yet!"

  When he saw the black-clothed girl's innocent and carefree smile, he suddenly had a strong urge to punch someone. Fortunately, he was able to calm himself down, hinting to himself that his impulse was the devil, and then he used the Eight Extremes Stepping Star Method at full strength, increasing his speed drastically, instantly pulling away from the black-clothed girl Su Yanzi by a large distance.

  Mojie's Eight Extremes Stepping Star Technique was indeed an escape technique, and at this moment, Huo Ran's speed was no slower than that of a Shenqiao realm cultivator flying in the air, and it was even faster! His entire body had transformed into a whirlwind, with a majestic flash, sand and dust filled the sky, and wherever he passed, everything was left in ruins.

  "This is what they call being left in the dust! Ha!" The center of the storm, Huo Ran, turned his head back with a confident smile, and sure enough, Su Yanzi's figure was nowhere to be seen behind him.

  However, things didn't go as planned. Just as Huo Ran withdrew his gaze, the figure in front of him almost made him stumble. He saw that Su Yanzi, dressed in black, had somehow gained a protective shield around her body, which was supported by a mysterious energy blade at her feet. This shield made her immune to even the slightest harm from the storm caused by Huo Ran's Eight Extremes Treading Star technique!

  Hmph... Hmph... Hmph...

  Huo Ran slammed on the brakes and stopped in his tracks, standing on a dart that was clearly a flying treasure, hovering three feet off the ground. He glared at Su Yanzi, who had also come to a stop, and roared: "What do you want to do?! Come on, let's fight!" As he spoke, he clenched his fists, ready for battle.

  He's really gone crazy, previously when Su Yanzi was being chased by the middle-aged man, she obviously pretended to be weak, otherwise with this dart-shaped flying treasure, she would have shaken off the middle-aged man long ago! But now she's tightly wrapped around him, even willing to expose her flying treasure, what is she trying to do?

  Startled by his sudden roar, Su Yanzi was obviously frightened, her small face full of grievance, weakly saying: "I... I just didn't know the way, wanted to follow you and be companions..."

  Huo Ran: "!!!!!!"

  "Alright, I'll endure! Seeing Su Yanzi's wronged expression, Huo Ran's anger suddenly dissipated, and he flung his hand: 'Fine, you love to follow... huh?'"

  Originally, Huo Ran wanted to say 'if you want to follow, then follow', but unexpectedly, a feeling arose and his hands hurriedly drew mysterious and obscure trajectories in the empty space. After a moment, points of light appeared in front of him, seemingly scattered and disorderly arranged, but actually containing a profound truth of heaven and earth.
