"Who are you calling a fifth-rate warrior?"
A woman's voice rang out, and Anpei Qingming, taken aback, shifted his gaze from Luo Yu to the two women at his side.
"Tsk, I didn't expect you two women to be so bold."
"Do you know what my cultivation level is? Falling into my hands means only a fate worse than death, yet you're still oblivious."
"Pathetic ants."
"Who are you calling an ant?" Xiaowu's beautiful eyes turned ice cold as well.
"I'm talking about you two. Don't think that just because you're with this kid, you can rest easy. Now, your lives are in my hands, and he can't save you."
Anpei Qingming let out a proud and sinister chuckle, adding fiercely, "It's a good thing you're here; otherwise, I might have really been taken down by this kid today."
"Don't go too far."
Bi Bidong and Xiaowu, trapped by the Shikigami Chains, had extremely ugly expressions, holding back their fury, unable to release it.
Anpei Qingming was first taken aback, then laughed even louder.
Toward Luo Yu, he said:
"Hahaha."
"You kid, how did you find such brainless women? You're life and death are in my hands, and you still dare threaten me, truly unaware of death."
Luo Yu hadn't expected Bi Bidong and Xiaowu to be so calm at this moment; he was so anxious, cold sweat was breaking out on his back.
To think Anpei Qingming, an Onmyoji from Takamagahara, the tiny country, was not a good sort. Expecting him to have humanity was absolutely impossible.
Although he was confident that he could kill Anpei Qingming, he couldn't guarantee that Bi Bidong and Xiaowu would be unharmed.
He dared not make any rash moves.
"Why aren't you talking? Weren't you quite arrogant just now? Why the silence?" Anpei Qingming's mouth bore a mocking smirk.
His old eyes glowed with hatred and bitterness, and he lamented:
"Eleven Shikigami—that's a whole eleven Shikigami, all gone because of you, you bastard."
"I'll slaughter your two women first, so you can feel my pain."
"If you dare harm a hair on their heads, this will be your eternal grave," Luo Yu said, killing intent in his voice, decisive in his words.
"Do you think I'm scared? I, a grand Island Country Onmyoji, won't be threatened by you," Anpei Qingming said with disdain.
But he didn't dare make a move on his hands.
He was truly frightened now.
When he was lurking in Da Chuan Province, he never imagined he'd encounter such a ruthless character. Wasn't this just a freshman?
What good are geniuses?
If he took action personally, wouldn't that be an easy capture?
Yet his mentality collapsed.
A sneak attack brought forth a big shot who burst his eleven First-Grade Shikigami with a wave of his hand. If he hadn't kept back, even this twelfth Shikigami would have been shattered.
"Make a deal, release them," Luo Yu said, trying to keep his tone gentle, planning to act against the Onmyoji once the two women were free.
In his heart, no matter what, this Abe no Seimei, who dared to invade Great Xia and threaten him, Luo Yu, was already a dead man.
Even if it meant chasing him for thousands of miles, he was determined to squash him.
"You, kneel down and kowtow three times to apologize," Abe no Seimei said with a cold laugh.
Luo Yu's expression grew ugly as he stared hard at Anpei Qingming.
"Old dog, what did you say?"
"You dare make my Brother Yu kneel???"
While Luo Yu kept silent, Bi Bidong and Xiaowu instantly became infuriated and scolded the Onmyoji.
"Two mere ants, I can't be bothered with you." Anpei Qingming said with a sneer to Luo Yu, "If you hadn't brought these two weak women out, I really couldn't have done much to you."
"But since you dared to bring them out, that is your weakness, and I've already grasped your fatal weakness, so you can only let me slaughter you without any room to resist, hahaha."
Luo Yu's face grew even uglier, his fists clenched tightly.
This time, he truly had no options.
Previously, those eleven powerful Shikigami surrounded them. Each was First Grade, and they could even fuse, showing tremendous strength.
The two women revealing a flaw was truly unavoidable.
"Aren't you going to kneel and bow to me?"
"Otherwise, I'll slaughter one to let you experience what pain is."
As he spoke, Abe no Seimei's eyes bulged as the shikigami exerted force, the chains binding the two women suddenly tightened.
"Stop it!"
Luo Yu shouted in anger.
Abe no Seimei had no intention of stopping, "Kneel, kneel, and I'll let them go."
Luo Yu knew all too well that what the other party said was most likely a lie, but now, for Bi Bidong and Xiaowu, he had to submit.
"Old dog, You insult my Brother Yu, I'll make you pay with your life!"
"Ah! I can't stand it anymore, today, even if I reveal myself, I'm going to beat you to death."
"Boom boom!!!"
Just as Luo Yu was being coerced, two explosions sounded.
Chains burst open, fragments falling to the ground, clinking.
Bi Bidong and Xiaowu, who had been tightly bound by the chains just moments ago, had both escaped, their beautiful eyes filled with murderous intent and fury.
Bi Bidong raised her phoenix eyes, which seemed to hold a raging inferno within them.
"Old dog, you threaten my man again and see," Bi Bidong said.
Xiaowu scolded, "Are we the two weak women you were talking about? Repeat what you said just now."
Abe no Seimei's arrogant expression froze on his face as he saw the two women casually break free, completely dumbfounded.
Those were chains of First-Grade Shikigami, and two seemingly fragile women easily escaped?
What was happening to the world, where exactly did things go wrong?
Even though the women's aura was concealed, he still couldn't sense any trace of their strength, but it was exactly this that was so terrifying.
"You..."
"You're not this kid's weakness?"
