004: Effective Waste Utilization

"Yes! I do!" Sheng Luo shouted in a panic, fearing that this handsome man would truly break her legs in the next second!

Ming Zun sneered, "Oh? Then let's hear it."

Sheng Luo's teeth chattered. Seeing that hand-blade was about to descend upon her leg, she took a deep breath and yelled, "Help! The beautiful fairy sister over there, help!" It was a critical moment; she had to make effective use of waste, even if it meant lying through her teeth against her conscience.

"Lord! Have mercy!" Gong Ruyi, who had long been dissatisfied with Ming Zun and hadn't even bothered to look at her, heard Sheng Luo's cry for help. Although she didn't know what was going on between Ming Zun and Sheng Luo, she felt that the moment to attract Ming Zun's attention had arrived.

With white silk in hand, she struck a pose she deemed exquisitely beautiful and flew toward Ming Zun and Sheng Luo, speaking in a soft, gentle voice.

"What kind of thing are you, daring to block this Seat!" Before Gong Ruyi could even get close, Ming Zun redirected his hand-blade, sweeping it toward her.

Gong Ruyi's martial arts were not weak; she reacted extremely quickly, retreating to dodge the strike. After landing steadily on the ground, she looked at Ming Zun with a soft, aggrieved expression. "Why is the Lord so heartless? Ruyi learned that the Lord was being framed by her sister and came specifically to rescue you."

As she spoke, she delicately swayed her slender waist. *Hmph, looking at Ming Zun's expression, she knew that Gong Ruhua's medicine must have taken effect. The current Ming Zun might not even be her match.*

The thought that the Ming Zun she had long admired was about to become her prize made her heart flutter with excitement.

"You are Gong Ruyi."

"Ye-yes, does the Lord know Ruyi's name?" Upon hearing Ming Zun's words, Gong Ruyi nodded repeatedly in excited bashfulness. If Ming Zun knew her name, did it mean she had caught his eye?

Ming Zun let out a cold snort. "Good! Very good!" Their names were similar; since she hadn't sufficiently vented her frustration on Gong Ruhua, she would take it out on this one.

With those words, he stepped hard on Sheng Luo's foot and soared outward. The force of the step caused the blood in Sheng Luo's chest to churn violently! Meanwhile, Ming Zun sent Gong Ruyi flying with a single palm strike. As he stabilized his body, he felt another wave of unbearable, burning sensation surge through him, causing him to instantly break into a heavy sweat.

Sheng Luo, who had been clutching her chest and grimacing in pain, saw this situation and knew her chance had come! While the handsome man was indisposed and while the beauties were not paying attention to her, she had to slip away...

Gong Ruyi, who had been sent flying, felt a surge of blood in her system; she spat out a large mouthful of blood when she was caught by her maids.

She hadn't expected to endure a palm strike from Ming Zun like this, and she was even more shocked by his strength. In her view, the current Ming Zun should have been unable to use his internal energy. Just as she thought this, she saw Ming Zun's expression turn unsightly, with large beads of sweat falling from his forehead.

Sneering inwardly, she raised her hand. "Go! Capture him for this Palace!" No man that Gong Ruyi set her sights on had ever escaped her grasp!

At her command, several figures who were originally supporting her flew toward Ming Zun simultaneously, only to be intercepted mid-air by several black figures that suddenly lunged out. As the sound of clashing blades rang out, the scent of blood spread through the air.

"Your subordinates are late to protect the Master; we hope the Master will forgive us!" The leading man in black immediately knelt before Ming Zun.

"Kill." Without saying much more, Ming Zun simply stood in place and spat out a single, chillingly murderous word.

"Yes!" Upon receiving the order, the man leaped up. His martial arts were clearly much higher than those of the black-clad men who had blocked Gong Ruyi's subordinates earlier. Between the rising and falling of his sword, he had already taken the lives of the two remaining maids.
