Chapter 584: A Dominating Woman
here." Shen Xiang smiled nonchalantly, but it made the group of powerhouses who intended to catch his friend furious and red-faced. They wished they could slap him hard, as if it was a clear insult."...Chapter 584:霸道的女人
Scenery Xiang learned from Long Xueyi that the Holy Flame Realm was a world governed by alchemists. In this realm, he saw many alchemists with attendants following them around. The strength of these attendants varied, and some were even stronger than their masters.
Warriors needed to rely on alchemists to gain power, and thus, the alchemists' strength was not weak. They carried stronger attendants with them for the purpose of displaying their identity and abilities, sometimes even making their attendants compete with other alchemists' followers in combat!
A warrior who could climb up an alchemist was indeed lucky, as they wouldn't have to spend time searching for ingredients and exchanging crystal stones to buy expensive丹s. Those alchemists cared about having stronger attendants, constantly acquiring powerful martial arts for them to learn. This made the followers more loyal.
However, things were even worse for slaves in this world. People could be bought and sold freely here; Scenery Xiang just passed by a place where slaves were traded. There was a variety of men, women, and elders among the slaves, all suffering悲慘 fates.
In the broad streets filled with many passers-by, most were Fire屬性 individuals. Scenery Xiang sensed that the fire attributes of many people were very pure, indicating they were practicing alchemy, although there was not much accomplishment.
Suddenly, a sharp and icy voice shouted in front of him: "Get out of the way quickly if you want to survive!"
The people on both sides of the street immediately moved away, showing a look of resignation. It was clear they were used to such situations. Scenery Xiang also heard the sounds of whips striking behind him.
Only Scenery Xiang remained in the middle of the street. He could see four muscular men with bare chests pulling a large carriage made to look like white jade, running at high speed. On the carriage was an elegantly tall woman wearing black robes with a veil covering her face, holding onto a black whip and whipping the men like they were driving a horse-drawn carriage. But this wasn't a traditional carriage; it was more like a human-drawn carriage, and the four True Martial Realm cultivators were pulling it. They received violent whippings as if they were horses, enduring the pain despite having numerous whip marks across their bodies. They clenched their teeth and continued pulling the white jade carriage at an incredible speed.
Scenery Xiang was witnessing this scene for the first time, causing his brows to furrow. He couldn't understand why four True Martial Realm cultivators would be doing such lowly tasks, resembling slaves.
After realizing what was happening, Scenery Xiang started to move away from the crowd. The carriage approached him, carrying the black-robed woman who gave Scenery Xiang a furious look through her icy eyes. She then swung the whip at him, but it had a powerful surge of true energy that made Scenery Xiang feel like he was being pricked by a soft sword.
"Filthy brat, daring to block my way! Give me a taste of your strength!"
"Humph!" Scenery Xiang responded coldly. He moved with lightning speed, grabbing the whip aimed at him and then forcefully pulling her off the carriage.
This scene shocked everyone, as they looked with horror-stricken faces. Scenery Xiang was clearly aware of the woman's reputation, and no one dared to provoke her. However, now someone had dared!
Upon seeing Scenery Xiang's actions, people around him quickly dispersed and looked at him with a gaze that could pierce through someone's soul.
The black-robed woman was even more stunned. She never expected someone to easily take her whip, making it as simple as grabbing a piece of straw. The whip she used earlier was filled with anger, fueled by her full strength. However, Scenery Xiang effortlessly neutralized the energy trapped in the whip and infused it with a strong suction force, firmly attaching her hand to the whip before pulling her down.
"You dare You're asking for death!"
Her voice echoed like it came from the depths of hell, carrying a cold and merciless aura.
"I didn't block your way!" Scenery Xiang was still holding onto the whip tightly, his hands covered in tiger skin gloves. To him, this was mere child's play.
Scenery Xiang didn't actually block her way; he was just slightly slower than others, attracting her attack. Hence, he was very angry.
The black-robed woman tried to pull back her whip, but despite using all her strength, Scenery Xiang remained like a massive mountain, unmoving. This woman's strength was indeed impressive. Scenery Xiang managed to neutralize her forceful and aggressive power by applying the skill of巧妙ly directing energy in the Dragon Suppression Tai Chi technique.
"You started this!" Scenery Xiang frowned. Previously, Long Xueyi had informed him that出手 freely in the Holy Flame City would result in punishment by those governing the city. However, it seemed not to be so simple; from the reactions of the people on this street, Scenery Xiang realized that the black-robed woman was someone who displayed her power and could freely take action in this area.
"Release my whip quickly. I don't have time to fight with you today, but remember me!"
The black-robed woman said coldly. Scenery Xiang let go of the whip.
The woman gathered her whip, jumped onto the white jade carriage in front of her, and struck the four men mercilessly as she drove away. Passers-by stood by the street with helpless expressions, watching the white jade carriage vanish into sight.
"Young man, run for your life. You're going to die!" an old and kind-hearted man walked past Scenery Xiang, shaking his head in disapproval.
Many others shook their heads and sighed, applauding the bravery of anyone who dared to oppose the black-robed woman while acknowledging that such actions meant they were seeking enemies, potentially leading a life of flight and danger regardless of death.
"Who is this woman" Scenery Xiang rushed to the old man, asking hurriedly.
"Surely you're a fool. This woman is the ruler of Holy Flame City, even though her strength doesn't reach Nirvana Realm. However, she comes from a substantial background; her father is a Dharmage and her grandfather is a Dao Immortal. She herself is an extraordinary female alchemist, and she governs this city, having the freedom to kill people or do as she pleases!" The old man looked at Scenery Xiang with pity.
Scenery Xiang was taken aback as well. This background was indeed substantial, with her grandfather being a Dao Immortal and herself the ruler of this city!
Despite that, Scenery Xiang wasn't worried at all. In his eyes, any problem could be solved with money if possible. Since this woman was an alchemist, things became more manageable; after all, their conflict arose from misunderstandings.中描寫的感覺立即出現。中年男子臉上滿是狂喜。看來已經可以確認這就是骨格神丹了!“這是骨格神丹。吃下之後感覺和書上描寫的一模一樣,甚至要強烈一些。難道是因為你煉製的神丹品質更好,所以顏色不同?”這中年聲音帶著一絲興奮地說道。這中年確認之後,廣場中頓時爆發一陣嘈雜的聲音。骨格神丹出現了!而且還是要出售的!就算在神國,都是有價無市的東西。如果在這裡拍賣,價格可想而知,更何況還是品質更加好的純白色骨格神丹...
