Chapter 1436: Chapter 377: Devil_4

As a result, Fang Rui didn’t even intend to stop his footsteps. He merely cast a cold glance at the woman, and as she fell to the ground, he only responded with a faint sneer without taking any other action. He had already deployed his Spiritual Energy Barrier around himself.

As a cultivator who can control the entire city, his cultivation has reached a very powerful level of Foundation Establishment Stage Three.

His thoughts were exceedingly cautious, which instantly thwarted Lin Qing’s plan. In return, he gave her a mocking look.

He didn’t know whether this woman was an enemy wanting to kill him, but whether she was good or evil was irrelevant to him.

As long as he maintained his composure, there wouldn’t be any problems.

Regardless, trying to kill him with such a clumsy method is laughable; they simply overestimated themselves.

Lin Qing now found herself at a loss. Why did it seem like the other party wasn’t stopping because of her? It appeared he had no interest in talking, so had she done something wrong?

No!

It wasn’t that she didn’t do a good job, but that the man before her was too cunning. He wouldn’t pause for such trivial matters. His behavior was like that of an ordinary citizen, hurried and indifferent to everything around him—a terrifying demeanor.

"What should we do now?"

"It’s troublesome now. How should one handle this matter? How can I make the other party stop? If he doesn’t stop, my companion won’t have the chance to use this crossbow to attack him!"

"Without the opportunity to use this crossbow, the other party can leave the city unharmed, and then it will be impossible to find him again."

Lin Qing’s mind was in turmoil.

Other companions nearby noticed this as well. Faced with the current situation, they were at a loss, each seething with anxiety.

What to do? What should be done? Fang Rui had no intention of stopping.

Without stopping, the crossbow in hand couldn’t be used for an accurate strike or infliction.

The leading man stood at a relatively higher elevation, his gaze now filled with perplexity.

"Yes, this battle should be deemed a failure. Fang Rui might leave the city with ease."

"And after this guard died from drunkenness, it would be almost impossible to bring Fang Rui here next time."

"However."

"However, there’s a silver lining as well. Although we didn’t kill Fang Rui, he didn’t discover our presence, thus preserving our lives. Although this attempt failed, we can have others handle the matter in the future."

The matter could only be viewed this way!

The man even had a slight smile on his face now.

This smile, unbeknownst to him, contained a sense of relief. Honestly, he just wanted to survive, intending to be on the side of justice without sacrificing himself. Regarding rescuing others at the cost of his life, he felt it was unnecessary.

However, just as the man prepared to put away the crossbow, Lin Qing suddenly moved.

She rose from the ground and directly chased after the man, grasping his sleeve from behind.

"Sir, I’m sorry for bumping into you." She looked at Fang Rui with deep remorse.

Fang Rui slowly turned his head to look at her, his face transforming quickly from confusion to one filled with fierceness. As he extended a hand, it was already brimming with powerful spiritual qi.

He didn’t care whether the woman in front was intentionally or accidentally obstructing him; anyone hindering his path, be they man, woman, or child, would face heaven’s wrath.

No way this frail woman could withstand his attack; he would easily vanquish her and leave the city, continuing to strengthen his cultivation, unconcerned with other trivialities.

Lin Qing’s partners, witnessing this move, felt a chill down to their bones!

Lin Qing was incredibly reckless. How could she just grab someone’s hand now? The intention was evident, and the opponent was about to launch an attack!

What to do?

It’s over, it’s really over!

There’s no way to resolve this situation now, truly, no solution!
