The Black Book: Seven Deadly Sins
Chapter 336: Oh no! It’s coming for me!
CHAPTER 336: CHAPTER 336: OH NO! IT’S COMING FOR ME!
At this moment, the Pingyang Earl’s Mansion already had dozens of people, and with so many eyes around, Zhu Haomiao didn’t want to say much. He pointed to the three palm-shaped pits, each about six to seven meters in diameter, not far away, and gave a quiet order.
"Take my token, go to Lechang Square and call Yan Yunsheng over, and have him take these three people back to incarcerate them."
"Huh?"
It wasn’t until now that the servants noticed three deep pits, like ponds, amidst the broken bricks and rubble. As they walked to the edge of the pits and looked down, they saw the pit was four to five meters deep, and in the center lay several figures in a tragic and twisted state.
However, judging by their slightly twitching bodies, they seemed to still be alive...
...
Early the next morning, Zhu Haomiao awoke in the guest room’s bedroom and went outside to see Yan Yunsheng waiting outside.
"Sir."
"Hmm, are they incarcerated?"
"They’ve been locked up, but they haven’t regained consciousness yet."
"That’s normal. I sealed their True Qi and Divine Sense, otherwise, you probably couldn’t contain them."
Upon hearing this, Yan Yunsheng was slightly stunned, recalled those three unbelievable palm prints, and swallowed hard.
"Sir, if I may dare to ask, those three’s grade?"
"Couldn’t break my defense, probably around the initial Third Grade realm."
Listening to the youth’s nonchalant words, Yan Yunsheng fell silent for a long time, walking at the pace of the other and sincerely sighed.
"Sir, you’re majestic."
Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao chuckled and shook his head, "Nothing majestic, I just cheated, crushed by position!"
"In a true-sword-and-gun fight in normal conditions, I really couldn’t beat them..."
Cheat?
Crushed by position?
Though long accustomed to the youth’s often headless words, Yan Yunsheng still found himself perplexed.
But he didn’t dare ask, only able to keep the confusion in his heart.
On the other side, Zhu Haomiao sighed regretfully, what he said was not modesty, but genuine.
He’s very clear about his state now.
Basic Attributes and Cultivation Technique, these can be cultivated by both Illusion Realm natives and descenders, belonging to conventional powers.
Divinity, Original Sin Authority, or even directly utilizing the National Guardian Divine Artifact from the Yanhuang Armory, these belong to unconventional powers only a very few can master.
Following the pride deep in his bones, he set rules for himself in his heart.
When facing conventional enemies, he hopes to use only conventional powers.
Only when facing mythical characters, or monsters like the Child of Destiny, could unconventional powers be utilized.
However, last night, facing merely three of the Third Grade, he was forced to go all out, which, to some extent, made him feel a bit ashamed.
Thinking of this, Zhu Haomiao glanced at his cultivation technique level, and sighed deeply.
Besides the inner and outer skills progressing, the Eight Basic Forces didn’t move at all, all at Mastery Realm.
The first three layers of Basic Force are too common, even crushed by the native’s cultivation technique in last night’s battle!
Only at the High Realm will the terror of Basic Force gradually reveal itself...
But on second thought, Zhu Haomiao felt relieved again.
He’s been in this world for less than half a year, simply completing the inner and outer skills occupied all his energy, and there’s really no more time to deduce the Basic Forces.
Moreover, the inner and outer skills can be completed using the Original Sin Authority, reducing the difficulty by more than half, so naturally, he prioritized pushing these two cultivation techniques to the extreme.
It’s also because of the Great Achievement Realm’s Constant Star Melting Furnace Body Tempering Technique he could stand undefeated in last night’s battle.
Thus, his choice was not wrong, he just needs more time to develop slowly...
Having understood this, Zhu Haomiao took a breath and asked solemnly.
"How are the brothers in various alleys prepared?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Yunsheng’s mind tightened, responding solemnly.
"Most have fully grasped the First Layer technique, now eager to exchange merits for the next technique."
"Hmm, gather the inspectors of each alley, prepare to take action!"
"Yes!"
...
"Sir, come play~"
As night fell, the street blazing with taverns and brothels reflected ambiguous candlelight, warm scents wafted invitingly, making people’s minds flutter.
A handsome youth as beautiful as jade crossed the threshold, took a deep breath, and revealed a joyful smile.
The taste of sin~
"Young master, is this your first time here? Do you have any familiar girls?"
Seeing the youth dressed in luxurious clothes, the brothel madam’s eyes lit up and she quickly approached with a warm inquiry.
"I heard your lead girl, Miss Ru Yan, is both talented and beautiful, so I came specifically to see for myself today."
"Ah? But Ru Yan already has a guest today, young master, why not choose another?"
"That won’t do! Today I must see who dares to compete with me for a woman!"
Ignoring the madam’s troubled expression, Zhu Haomiao kept walking straight upstairs.
With a slightly roguish smile on his lips, the youth disregarded the madam’s obstruction and made his way all the way to the top floor.
"Impossible! Impossible! Young master, our Ru Yan performs but doesn’t sell herself!"
"That’s simple, if I play with her and don’t pay, it doesn’t count as selling herself, hahahaha!"
With a loud arrogant laugh, Zhu Haomiao fully displayed the demeanor of a wicked youth, pushed the madam away with one palm, and forcefully kicked open the boudoir.
Bang!
Inside the delicately elegant boudoir, a girl with exquisite and beautiful features gently played a zither. Not far from her, a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes was staring at her in infatuation.
Upon hearing the sound of the door being kicked open, both turned their gazes, but the man’s eyes were filled with anger at being disturbed, while the girl’s teasing glance carried a hint of curiosity.
"Who are you?!"
"And who are you?!"
Looking at the man who pounded the table and stood up, Zhu Haomiao, with an expression ten thousand times more arrogant, scanned up and down with a contemptuous look that made the man’s veins throb.
The youth’s originally fearless attitude made him wary, but seemingly feeling the girl’s sight from beside, emotion instantly overwhelmed reason, and the man approached, unyielding.
"I am the Tiger Head Gang · Da Ye Square Master · Lei Mingze!"
"You little brat, get ready!"
Watching Lei Mingze approach with an overwhelming aura, and glancing at the stunning girl’s admiring eyes fixed on him, Zhu Haomiao smirked slightly.
"Xuanyi County Captain · Li Lin."
Bang!
It was as if a thunderclap exploded by his ears, Lei Mingze’s movements abruptly halted, like being doused with an icy bucket, a flash of understanding struck his mind.
Oh no!
He’s come for me!
Shwah~
Without any hesitation, Lei Mingze, agile as a rabbit, shrank his large frame swiftly, like a monkey curling up, fiercely crashing toward the window.
"Where do you think you’re going, get back here!"
Like an eagle snatching its prey, Zhu Haomiao acted late yet arrived first, with fingers like iron clamps, precisely clamping Lei Mingze’s ankle.
Bang!
Like cracking a whip, Lei Mingze was slammed onto the floor, and Zhu Haomiao stomped a foot on his back, sneering.
"At what level do you dare to compete with me for a woman?!"
