Chapter 1231: Have You Asked for My Permission?
Xia Liuhui, Liang Zhuangmin, Wu Zhijun, and Min Rourou had never felt so much despair before. They were already prepared to die. However, when Lin Fan voiced his intention to further humiliate Wu Zhijun and Min Rourou, they went mad with fury.
However, they were restricted by the Soul Foundation Realm experts and couldn't even budge. They were completely helpless. The two women were definitely unwilling to take such humiliation. They were about to kill themselves.
Xia Liuhui and Liang Zhuangmin were extremely vexed. As men, they had failed to protect their women, so they felt terrible. Fortunately, during this moment of crisis, a voice that was akin to the voice from heaven sounded. They were overjoyed.
Not far away, two figures were rapidly approaching them. One figure was in front, while the other was closely following behind. The person in front was none other than Xiang Shaoyun, and the other one was Devil Concubine.
They had run through the Devil Domain in this manner for an entire month. Wherever Xiang Shaoyun went, she would stick to him stubbornly. When they encountered devils, Xiang Shaoyun would kill the devils to gather contribution points while Devil Concubine would proceed to help him.
Xiang Shaoyun felt completely helpless and could only let her do as she wished. In any case, she was strong enough that he didn't need to actually take care of her. He only needed to focus on killing devils and looking for some silent place to rest and meditate on his gains for the day.
Devil Concubine would also do the same. It was as though she had turned into his shadow. Despite being together all the time, they had no interaction. Xiang Shaoyun had tried persuading her to leave, but she proved to be incredibly stubborn.
At one point, Xiang Shaoyun didn't even know what to say anymore. He considered moving at his fastest speed to break free from her, but a certain soft spot in his heart and the occasional flashbacks of a certain face made it so that he couldn't bring himself to do so. And thus, he allowed her to keep following him.
Naturally, many people had noticed the two traveling together. The nosy ones were even spreading some rumors about the two. Fortunately, this was the Devil Domain and not the surface world. Otherwise, Xiang Shaoyun would have already transformed into a life target for countless young men.
He had actually won their sweetheart's favor out of nowhere and was even giving her the cold shoulder. Anyone would find his behavior hateful.
Upon nearing the third layer's entrance, Xiang Shaoyun sensed some familiar auras.
Only then did he notice that Xia Liuhui and Liang Zhuangmin had encountered danger. He was instantly infuriated when he learned of their predicament. Both of them were his brothers. How could he allow any harm to come their way? Because of that, he issued a ruthless warning before he even reached them.
Lin Fan looked at Xiang Shaoyun and sneered, "So, there are more fools here to throw their lives away."
"I'll deal with him," said one of them as he charged Xiang Shaoyun.
The person charging was a sixth-stage Soul Foundation Realm cultivator. He hadn't done much in the battle, so this was the best opportunity for him to make some contributions by killing this rude kid. Lin Fan did not stop his subordinate, believing that his subordinate would be enough to instantly kill Xiang Shaoyun.
"A mere third-stage Soul Foundation Realm kid dares to speak such arrogant words? Die," said the sixth-stage Soul Foundation Realm cultivator as he swung his saber. He sent out a blue energy saber, and it tore through the air toward Xiang Shaoyun. He aimed to slice Xiang Shaoyun in half with this single attack.
A sneer formed on his face as he was confident that Xiang Shaoyun wouldn't be able to survive. But when he focused, he found that he had only been attacking an afterimage. The discovery astonished him slightly. By the time he reacted, Xiang Shaoyun had already appeared beside him. A hand reached out for his neck.
"Watch out!" Lin Fan warned. Unfortunately, the warning came too late, and the person's neck was already caught in Xiang Shaoyun's grip. This young man was too fast, to the point none of them could react in time.
Crack!
That man couldn't even begin his struggle before his neck was snapped. The crisp sound was incredibly piercing in the ears of Lin Fan's group.
Xiang Shaoyun then tossed the corpse aside like some stray dog and said, "Don't you know that they're this overlord's brothers? You dare lay your hands on them? Are you tired of living?"
He spoke domineeringly, displaying a valiant front that momentarily stunned Lin Fan and the others. Xiang Shaoyun was only a third-stage Soul Foundation Realm cultivator. How had he killed a sixth-stage Soul Foundation Realm cultivator so easily?
While they were still dazed, Xiang Shaoyun's body flickered and reappeared beside Xia Liuhui and Liang Zhuangmin. Only then did Lin Fan recover from his shock. He roared, "I don't care who you are. Today, you die here. Kill!"
At his command, the people from his side surrounded Xiang Shaoyun and the others. They unleashed a barrage of attacks at them. The joint attack of so many Soul Foundation Realm Sovereigns was incredibly powerful. It wouldn't be an easy task for Xiang Shaoyun to keep Xia Liuhui and the others safe in the face of this onslaught.
Just as Xiang Shaoyun was about to unleash his Nether Soul Domain, Devil Concubine said something so incredible Xiang Shaoyun staggered.
"You dare touch my man? Have you asked for my permission?" Devil Concubine roared as her sword erupted with strength and swung toward Lin Fan's group.
One ought to admit that Devil Concubine was truly a powerful combatant. She had actually decided to face multiple opponents all by herself, and her performance was incredibly overbearing. Xiang Shaoyun recovered from his daze and hurriedly blocked the incoming attacks as he protected Xia Liuhui and the others while they retreated.
"Boss, you're amazing. You managed to conquer even the True Martial Academy's number one beauty! Hahaha, with this, I have gained yet another impressive sister-in-law," said Xia Liuhui.
Xiang Shaoyun already had a decent number of women by his side. Xia Liuhui had always envied him greatly. Now that he had obtained yet another absolute beauty of great reputation, Xia Liuhui's reverence for him grew to a brand new level.
"Shaoyun, ignore us. Go give our sister-in-law a hand," said Liang Zhuangmin.
"There's no need. She should be able to handle them alone," said Xiang Shaoyun calmly.
At this time, Wu Zhijun exclaimed, "I-is she Devil Concubine from the True Martial Academy?"
"If there is no other person with the same name, then yes, she is," said Xiang Shaoyun with a shrug.
