Chương 318: Unconditional support

Jian Shen didn't know what was happening down there and why so many soldiers were surrounding the courtyard he left his women inside.

In fact, he didn't care either.

All he knew was that someone was bothering his women.

And as someone who cared about each and every single one of them, there was no way Jian Shen would just stand aside and watch.

After all, even if his women were in the wrong and did something like kill someone for no reason, Jian Shen wasn't a saint who vowed to keep up law and justice.

If what his women did was kill one to incur the wrath of some force, he'd just destroy that force so that there would be no trouble following them.

"Scram."

If it was some other time maybe Jian Shen would've directly jumped down and started a fight with the soldiers depending on how his mood was. But right now since he was eager to find out if the mark between Xifeng's eyes was the Cui Clan's bloodline mark, he didn't want to waste any time fighting.

Therefore, after he said what he wanted to, Jian Shen ignored the soldiers and without caring in the slightest about what they thought of his words flew towards the courtyard.

However, how could Zhang Ying who couldn't afford to fail his mission let Jian Shen do as he wished and retreat?

He at least needed to have some acceptable reason if he wanted to retreat.

And seeing that the one who told him to leave was only in the Soul Splitting Realm, there was no way that Dong Hu would see him retreating as an acceptable action.

Thus, even though he didn't want to do so, Zhang Ying flew straight up and stopped in front of Jian Shen who was heading towards the courtyard.

"What is it? Did you not hear me?"

Facing the expressionless look which was making him doubt who was the one that possessed a lower level of cultivation, Zhang Ying asked, "What's your relationship with the women inside the courtyard?"

Not even bothering to change his expression, Jian Shen who wasn't going to answer this question continued lying forward and past Zhang Ying while repeating himself.

"Scram before I kill all of you."

Snorting coldly at how he was obviously being insulted for the second time already, Zhang Ying who wasn't really a man of patience and rather someone who preferred using his fists to talk, raised his arm after deciding to show off his strength and make the boy who looked more and more like a spoiled young master realize the current situation.

'This isn't your home brat! This is my turf!!'

Condensing not just his physical strength but even soul essence in his fist, Zhang Ying wanted to hurt both Jian Shen's physical body and soul.

Unfortunately, even before Jian Shen quickly summoned his Ten Elemental Sword Domain, Lifen who looked like she was asleep around his neck made a move herself.

With one of her tails quickly extending and increasing in size until it looked as big as an average human, the Snow Tailed Fox easily took hold of the approaching fist and easily dissipated all the strength behind Zhang Ying's punch.

This was when the general noticed what he felt like was the source of Jian Shen's confidence.

A fucking Eternal Palace Realm beast...!

Shit!

Cursing his bad luck for running into someone like this, Zhang Ying didn't even have time to regret his decision before another tail quickly turned as big as the first one and wrapped itself around his throat.

"Shall I kill him, husband?"

Petting Lifen's head which he felt looked very cute despite saying such words, Jian Shen after causing her to pout due to him petting her said, "Sure."

Once she heard the word, Lifen didn't waste any longer and twisted the man's neck killing him instantly.

At the same time, her other tail rushed forward and destroyed Zhang Ying's Nascent Soul the very second it left his physical body as well.

While Lifen due to not having yet started with training her physical body was much weaker than the Divine Beasts which stood at the peak inside the Divine Realm, her strength wasn't something which Zhang Ying could ever hope to compete against due to which he couldn't even put up a proper fight before dying.

Either way, once Lifen so easily killed Zhang Ying, Cui Yan who witnessed the entire thing was even more sure that with the Snow Tailed Fox helping her clan they'd be able to hold out for at least a few more months and maybe even years without any trouble.

Unknown to these thoughts Cui Yan was having, Lifen who didn't want to hold onto the dead body for too long pulled her tails back and allowed it the dead Zhang Ying to fall down and crash into the stunned soldiers who weren't able to move in time.

"Take him and scram if you don't want to die."

Saying so Jian Shen continued flying towards the courtyard.

The soldiers who picked up the dead body, however, didn't have any intention of rushing forward and fighting against Jian Shen for a dead man.

They all knew that there was definitely going to be a huge mess happening in the future when the Clan Leader learnt of the Third General dying.

When that happened, someone truly strong would be sent to deal with this boy. So why would they bother throwing their lives away for no reason right now?
