The man strode forward.
Spiritual power surged in his hands subtly.
Zhao Shuning stared directly at the middle - aged man. He seemed to be in his forties.
He had a rugged appearance.
A dense killing intent lingered between his eyebrows.
If one looked closely, they could find that his eyes were filled with bloodthirsty hatred.
"So it's you, little girl, who caused a ruckus on my turf and smashed my shop?"
"You've got quite a nerve to challenge me. You're quite good - looking. If you're willing to be with me, I'll overlook your misdeeds today."
A mocking smile played on Zhao Shuning's cold and charming face.
"Are you She Shi?"
"I am. Pretty lady, you must have heard of my name. What do you say? Once you're with me, I'll make sure you live a life of luxury."
Zhao Shuning scoffed at the man in front of her.
He was still dozens of meters away, but the stench of sweat and alcohol on him wafted over.
"You hurt them?" Zhao Shuning pointed at the people behind her.
"Yes. They're quite lucky. Even after I personally attacked them, they still managed to hang on to life."
Zhao Shuning smiled slightly.
"That's because I gave them Restoration Pills."
"What?"
The mention of the Restoration Pills caused an immediate uproar.
"Absolutely impossible! You little girl, don't try to deceive me. Even an eighth - rank alchemist today can't produce Restoration Pills at will, let alone give them to these random young men you don't even know."
"I'll give you three seconds."
"What?"
"I know it's not easy for you to reach your current level. If you cripple your spiritual roots yourself, I'll let it go."
"Hahaha - it's ridiculous! Who do you think you are? Just because you're good - looking, you think you can do whatever you want? Once I subdue you, I'll tie you to the bed and show you what happens when you offend me!"
"Such vulgar language."
Zhao Shuning reached into her Qiankun Bag and quickly took out a long black whip. The whip was extremely long and moved at an astonishing speed.
It had been less than three seconds since She Shi finished speaking.
The menacing aura of the whip rushed towards him. He was startled and tried his best to dodge, but the whip seemed to be alive. It changed direction immediately as he dodged.
She Shi tapped his toes on the ground.
His body retreated several feet.
But Zhao Shuning wasn't going to let him off so easily.
She gently exerted force on her wrist.
A streak of cyan - purple spiritual power was injected into the black whip, and it flew out of her hand.
In an instant, it bound She Shi's hands and feet. No matter how much spiritual power She Shi used, he couldn't break free from the whip's restraint.
"What kind of sorcery is this?" She Shi roared.
Zhao Shuning just smiled.
At this moment, Zhao Shuning was like a Satan in the Shura Field. Her entire being exuded an aura of terror.
She walked towards She Shi step by step.
If it weren't for the fact that she still needed him alive, Zhao Shuning would have killed him on the spot.
As Zhao Shuning got closer.
She Shi began to feel scared.
The crowd also hid in different shops out of fear. However, their curiosity drove them to secretly peek at the battle from the gaps in the second - floor windows.
When they saw that the mighty Boss She couldn't even last three moves against the woman, their legs went weak.
Especially the old man who had challenged Zhao Shuning before. He almost wet his pants at this moment.
This woman was invincible.
Fortunately, she was kind - hearted. Earlier, she had only confiscated the illegal items they were selling and hadn't hurt any innocent lives.
Yan Qi's death was well - deserved.
Relying on his status as an alchemist, he had become a local tyrant in this black market. The merchants respected him on the surface, but in reality, they wished they could eat his flesh and bones.
Although these people weren't exactly good - hearted.
Zhao Shuning walked up to She Shi.
She Shi asked, "Who are you?"
"What did you say earlier?"
Zhao Shuning got closer.
Using only spiritual power, a precious sword materialized in her hand. She pressed the sword against She Shi's neck, forcing him to look up at her.
She Shi said, "I was blind and offended the senior. Please, senior, be magnanimous and spare my life."
"Senior, it has been extremely difficult for me to reach my current cultivation level. I hope the senior will not be so harsh on me."
Zhao Shuning's sharp sword.
Moved to She Shi's arm.
Zhao Shuning's hand accidentally trembled.
The man let out a pig - like scream.
"Oops - I was really careless and didn't control the strength well. It seems I've severed your tendon."
She Shi was sweating profusely from the pain. Since his hands and feet were bound by the black whip, he could only roll on the ground non - stop.
Blood dripped from his wrist.
But that wasn't enough.
Zhao Shuning squatted down and took out a porcelain bottle from her Qiankun Bag. No one knew what was inside.
She forcefully stabbed the sword next to She Shi's head, and he was in so much pain that he didn't dare to move.
Zhao Shuning opened the bottle.
She released a worm from it. As soon as the worm appeared, it followed the smell of blood and burrowed into She Shi's skin.
"What is this? What are you doing to me?"
"You might as well just kill me with one stroke."
Zhao Shuning said, "I'm not going to kill you. Why would I? That worm is just something to stop your bleeding. It might just hurt a little, that's all."
As soon as Zhao Shuning finished speaking.
She Shi's pained cries of pleading immediately rang out.
Along with his cries.
She Shi's face turned red, and the veins on his arms and face bulged.
Those hiding in the shops couldn't help but shiver.
They had previously thought this woman was kind - hearted, but now it seemed that they were lucky they hadn't stepped forward. This woman was no ordinary person. She was scarier than a man - eating monster.
When she severed Boss She's tendon, her expression was so natural, without any anger or hatred, as if she had really accidentally cut his wrist.
When she placed the curse, she could still smile so brightly.
Such a woman couldn't be provoked, and they didn't dare to.
Otherwise, they might be the ones lying on the ground next.
Zhao Shuning said towards the long alley, "I know you're all listening and watching. So watch carefully. And don't forget to tell others everything you know later."
The crowd hiding on the second - floor of the shops trembled constantly.
"What should we do? She won't kill us to silence us, will she?"
"No! I haven't done anything immoral. I just wanted to make a little extra money so I could go home and marry a wife."
"I don't want to die here."
"Who is this woman? She's so terrifying! Boss She was completely crushed in front of her."
The crowd was terrified, their legs shaking non - stop.
They even spoke in the softest of voices.
