Chapter 878 - The Ultimatum II
Wei Zu Tian's face changed slightly even though he expected Lory's answer but hearing her direct refusal still hurt his pride nonetheless. Wei Zu Tian wasn't good at facing rejection, Xuan Yi could sense Wei Zu Tian's dampened mood, so she felt a little nervous. Wei Zu Tian is an impulsive person, he has lacked control over his own emotions, one second he looks happy, then suddenly the next second he will lash out his anger over something trivial that's why everyone around him is always trying to make Wei Zu Tian in a good mood because no one knows what he will do when he is angry.
A cold sharp knife pressed onto Lory's neck, Xuan Yi smirked evilly, "Milord, why don't we hurt her a little and see if she still dares to be rude!" Xuan pressed the knife further, and red blood dripped from Lory's neck.
Lory's expression remained the same she doesn't even flinch, her eyes bore into Wei Zu Tian, for a moment their gazes locked and neither of them blinked. Wei Zu Tian probed Lory's expression, there was no fear, anger, or anxiety but he could see caution and wariness although she look quiet, but he could see that right now she evaluated the situation around her calmly and carefully like she has been in this situation before but it couldn't be true because he had gathered all the information about this woman before she entered Lao Manor and everything showed him that Luo Ri Yi was just an ordinary village girl unless…. she is not the real Luo Ri Yi.
"Who are you?" We Zu Tian narrowed his eyes. No normal woman would react like her in this situation her level of composure wasn't something a twenty-something woman who wasn't even a cultivator could gain so the question was, who was she?
Lory frowned in confuse "What do you mean?" Lory truly doesn't know what Wei Zu Tian means.
"If you tell me who you really are, I will let you meet Shin Jiu," Wei Zu Tian said again.
However, Lory really genuinely doesn't know what Wei Zu Tian wants, could it be Wei Zu Tian knows about her true identity? That's impossible, Lao Min Na is paranoid, her relationship with others is based on the mutual benefit it got nothing to do with loyalty or trust so Lao Min Na will never tell Wei Zu Tian anything and if she reveals Lory's identity then Wei Zu tian will know about the hybrid beast and naturally, he will found out about Lazarus by doing so she would lose all her trump card so there was no way Lao Min Na would tell Wei Zu Tian about her.
As Lory remained silent Wei Zu Tian thought she didn't want to reveal herself, Wei Zu Tian snort in disdain then sneered coldly, "Don't be so brazen Madam, just because I showed a little kindness doesn't mean I will not do anything to you"
Under his threat, Lory said nothing and Wei Zu Tian finally lost his patient "Since you don't care about your disciple's safety, don't blame me for being merciless" Wei Zu Tian waved his hand and Xuan Yi pulled the knife back from Lory's neck.
"leave…" Wei Zu Tian growl between his teeth.
As Lory got up from her seat, Wei Zu Tian shouted "Quan Mei!"
Zi Quan Mei immediately appeared "Yes, my lord"
"Madam Zhao seems bored, why don't you cheer her up for a bit" Wei Zu Tian snorts derisively.
Zi Quan Mei could read between the lines and an evil smile bloomed on her face "Understood, my lord" Zi Quan Mei threw her vile expression towards Lory "Follow me madam" she smirked evilly.
Lory clenched her fists, the blood still dripping down her neck and slightly stained her collar but she refused to appear weak in front of his enemy, Lory force herself to remain calm and composed as she was led by Zi Quan Mei out of the room but before Lory left suddenly Wei Zu Tian called her again.
"It's still not too late to change your mind." Wei Zu Tian glanced meaningfully at Lory.
Lory understood that most of Wei Zu Tian's attraction towards her was because of Zhao Li Xin, just like a kid who want to snatch his friend's toys, that's pretty much how Wei Zu tian feels about Lory.
Lory only glanced at Wei Zu Tian for a moment before she boldly left the room without looking back, the door closed and Wei Zu Tian drank his wine and laughs at the woman's stubbornness.
As he was leaving the main building, Lory felt Zi Quan Mei drill a hole behind her back with her sharp gaze, then suddenly Zi Quan Mei's footsteps stopped and she shouted "Stop!" he said and Lory stopped his footsteps and turned around, "This way..." she motioned for Lory to follow him.
In this abandoned complex, there are many isolated gardens and unused buildings, who knows what this temple was used for before but this place is much bigger than an ordinary temple complex, they walk further and further into the deepest part of the complex which is far from view others.
The hair behind Lory's nape gradually raise as a sign of approaching danger, Lory set her sights on Zi Quan Mei's back for any sudden movement, Lory could feel the aura around Zi Quan Mei changing, Lory quietly reached into her shoes and took out a spatial ring and put the ring on her right middle hand at the same time her eyes gradually narrowed.
They finally reached an abandoned courtyard surrounded by run-down buildings, Zi Quan mei stopped her steps she turned around and her red lips curled into a frightening smile, "You mustn't provoke Wei Zu Tian like that, you think your position as Long Ming's lover can protect you forever? How stupid of you. .. this is not the Hei Shen sect, you just courting your own death"
Lory folded her arms across her chest and replied nonchalantly "Yeah, everyone says I have a big mouth" she seemingly agrees.
"You, quite a jester, aren't you?!" Zi Quan Mei scoffed "Looks like I have to teach you a lesson to make you aware of your situation" Zi Quan Mei's face contorts into a mask of fury.
Still playing ignorant Lory waves his hand dismissively "No, you don't have to..."
Zi Quan Mei thought Lory was scared and incite the cruelty within her "Why don't you kiss my shoes and I won't make things difficult for you" she smiled smugly.
Lory raised her eyebrows then her mouth twitched "Yeah I can't do that... it's not hygienic you know" Lory shook her head appear trouble.
Anger swept over her like wildfire, Zi Quan Mei didn't expect Lory to have the audacity to mock her, "Then you must die!"
Zi Quan Mei lunged at her in one fell swoop, blood lust in her eyes can't be more visible, her hands stretched to Lory's neck but suddenly she felt the cold wind rushing behind her back, Zi Quan Mei reflexively whirled in the air to dodge and landed on the ground on her knees.
Zi Quan Mei thought she was being attacked from behind but when she looked over her shoulder she saw nothing but when she looked in front of her immediately her eyes Zi Quan Mei bulged in disbelief.
Lory stood calmly surrounded by dozens of red daggers coiled around him as if they were alive.
'Is that a divine weapon' that was the only thought that crossed Zi Quan Mei's mind, but then she realized that Lory wasn't a cultivator, so how did she control it?
"You…are you a cultivator!" Zi Quan Mei gasped in shock, she was sure Lory didn't hide any amulet or talisman that could hide her ability so how?
Lory didn't bother answering she lift her hand forward and the dagger flew towards Zi Quan Mei, at the same time Lory grabbed the two daggers that were flying around her and pounced towards Zi Quan Mei, Lory take advantage of Zi Quan Mei shocked she launch a fierce attack.
Lory's movements were fast and unreadable, every time Zi Quan Mei managed to drop the dagger from Lory's hands, another dagger would replace it at the same time Zi Quan Mei had to dodge the attack from other daggers that flying around her like flies. Zi Quan Mei was embarrassed that she was being bullied by the woman she looked down on, she immediately released her Qi to push Lory away.
A sudden surge of energy managed to push Lory away, Lory jumped into the air and landed smoothly on her knees, Zi Quan Mei then drew a sword from her spatial ring, she glared at Lory, "You will die today or my name will not die Zi Quan Mei!"
Lory heard her outburst of anger Lory reflexively cover her mouth with her arms "Pfft" so there are people who say cheesy lines during the fight, "Well it's not too late to change your name," Lory smirked while summoning a bow from her ring "My advice, pick any name that means LOSER" Lory teased her further.
"You have a spatial Ring!" Zi Quan Mei was dumbfounded.
Lory winked playfully "That's right!"
Zi Quan Mei's face twisted in anger, she couldn't count how many times Lory had humiliated her today, she felt like a clown dancing in Lory's palm, the anger within her was insufferable, Zi Quan Mei aimed her sword at Lory furiously.
At the same time, Lory released an arrow but Zi Quan Mei blocked it, Lory released another arrow and she blocked it again, victory in Zi Quan Mei increased "Hah, you missed!" she swung her sword due to Zi Quan Mei's high cultivation she managed to slash Lory's arm when Lory dodged.
Lory rolled on the ground sideways then she take along jumped backward while Zi Quan Mei chased after her with fiery eyes. Actually, with Lory's current strength she still can't match Zi Quan Mei's strength because Zi Quan Mei has already reached the sovereign level but when it comes to wits Zi Quan Mei is still far from Lory.
Lory stabbed the third arrow into the ground, the arrow that should have been missed created a triangular formation and from there, an electric barrier shot up from the ground and shocked Zi Quan Mei who was trapped in the middle.
As soon as Zi Quan Mei fell limply to the ground with her knees, her whole body trembled covered with smoke and her face was white as a sheet, Zi Quan Mei looked at Lory in disbelief, there's no way she lose from this woman!
Lory released another arrow, the arrow buzzing and piercing Zi Quan Mei in the chest, blood dripped from her chest and soaked the ground and so Zi Quan Mei fell facedown on the ground.
