Chapter 1013: A Man Must Do What Is Morally Just
The surroundings instantly turned quiet.
Was this kid nuts?
He actually dared to make a move inside the Heavenly Spirit Pavilion? And it was a brutal move, too! A pair of fists shot out and smashed a person flying like a cannonball, instantly killing him!
Too violent!
For a brief moment, no one in the hall knew how to react.
What is going on?
Who is this kid?
What surprised them the most was that Luo Tian acted like it wasn’t a big deal. He turned around to support the old woman forward to a window and said, “Don’t worry, I merely killed a useless dog.”
That sentence caused the entire place to break their silence and explode into an uproar.
“Is he crazy?!”
“He’s going to die. I can already see him lying on the ground, lifeless.”
“Killing someone in the Deng family’s Heavenly Spirit Pavilion? And it happens to be the servant of Deng Leigong’s favorite grandson, Deng Weilong. Isn’t this equivalent to courting one’s own death?”
“His cultivation isn’t that high, yet he is so c.o.c.ky.”
“…”
“However, this kid is morally just with his arrogance, hahaha… Even though he is a bit reckless, I have to say that was a good kill. That kind of dog who flatters the rich and steps on the poor should be killed off. It’s just that the locals don’t dare to do it, but he dares to. What a good kid. This big brother admires him, hahaha…”
“That’s all good and well, but look at him. He’s acting like nothing has happened. Kid, you should be running as far away as you can right now. You won’t get the chance if you wait any longer.”
A chorus of discussion broke out in the crowd.
Even the old woman gratefully advised, “Little brother, thank you for standing out and helping me. But you should really hurry up and leave. If you don’t leave now, you won’t be able to leave anymore. The Deng family has a lot of people, and they will not spare you.”
Luo Tian smiled and replied, “Auntie, don’t worry. I’ll leave after I help you buy the medicine.”
The old woman said anxiously, “No need. If the Heavenly Spirit Pavilion doesn’t sell it to me, I can always go to another store. Hurry up and leave. There’s no need to bother with an old woman like me.”
The Heavenly Spirit Pavilion had the best pills and elixirs.
She wanted to buy her son the best medicine, that’s why she was here today.
Moreover, only the Heavenly Spirit Pavilion’s elixir could barely sustain her son’s life. The elixirs sold by other stores were completely useless.
Luo Tian didn’t leave.
He was kind of p.i.s.sed off.
How can a person live without morals?
No one dared to take action after watching an old woman getting bullied. This p.i.s.sed him off, and he couldn’t keep watching the scene play out. Since he was p.i.s.sed, then he might as well kill!
Luo Tian helped the old woman to the window and said, “Auntie, what do you want to buy?”
The old woman’s face was filled with anxiety as she sighed repeatedly. She wanted Luo Tian to leave immediately, but Luo Tian just hung around. She really regretted coming out at night to buy medicine. But her son’s disease suddenly flared up, and he was in so much pain that he looked like he was dying.
“Blood Spirit Powder.” The old woman spoke the name of the medicine.
Luo Tian immediately said, “Blood Spirit Powder. Give me ten portions of them.”
The young girl at the window stood up. She looked over at Deng Weilong and noticed he was so angry that smoke was coming out of his ears.
“What are you looking at?”
“Ten portions of the Blood Spirit Powder!” shouted Luo Tian.
Deng Weilong stepped forward with eyes shooting out flames. He then shouted, “Kid, you dare to kill my people?! I think you’re tired of living!”
As his voice faded, Deng Weilong shifted into a stance.
Wind started fluctuating around his feet when his Four Elements power burst forth. He then sent his oppressive pressure into Luo Tian’s mind. His hands started moving, and his palm turned pitch black before he chopped straight for the top of Luo Tian’s head.
“Dark Fiend Palm?!”
“That’s the ninth grade martial skill that Deng Leigong learned from the Misty Cloud Academy!”
“This move by Deng Weilong is enough to take the kid’s life.”
“Sigh~… Offending the Deng family for a poor old woman? Was it worth it? Does he have something against himself?”
The old woman’s eyes trembled. He pulled at Luo Tian’s clothes and shouted, “Little brother! Behind you…”
As she said that, the old woman closed her eyes and stuck her head out without thinking too much. She felt indebted to Luo Tian and felt grateful for his actions. She believed the whole matter was caused by her, so she was going to use her own life to help Luo Tian block this palm strike.
“Humph~! d.a.m.n old woman! Scram aside for me!” Deng Weilong harrumphed in disdain.
He focused the aura coming from his body in an attempt to jolt the old woman away.
But before the old woman could fully reach her intended location, a force was holding her in place. The power coming from Deng Weilong washed over her, and she didn’t feel a thing. Rather, she was feeling kind of comfortable.
Luo Tian shifted to the front of the old woman before smiling at her, “You should go to the side and rest for a bit.”
After saying that, Luo Tian thrust out his palm and shouted, “G.o.d Flame!”
“Boom~!”
The cl.u.s.ter of flames smashed into Deng Weilong’s palm.
The black aura on his palm disappeared, and the Dark Fiend Palm’s power was forced back.
Just when Deng Weilong paused in confusion, Luo Tian’s right shoulder smashed into his chest.
“Bang~!”
A pair of fists then smashed out.
“Bang~, bang~!”
“The Heavenly Spirit Pavilion is so great, huh?”
“The Deng family is really great too, huh?”
“A mongrel dog like you actually enjoys bullying an old woman? Your Deng family in Towering Cloud City will eventually perish sooner or later.”
“Mountain River Fist!”
“Bang~, bang~!”
After the two punches connected, Wolf King’s Claws pulled him back, and Shoulder Dash smashed him backward. This was followed by two more punches that sent Deng Weilong into a wall. Luo Tian then grabbed his throat and raised him into the air. His face was icy cold as he revealed his signature Grim Reaper’s smile. “Do you want to live?”
“Drip~, drip~, drip~…”
“Plop~, plop~, plop~…”
Liquid dripped down as Deng Weilong had p.i.s.sed his pants in fear.
His face was pale white.
Looking at Luo Tian’s icy cold eyes, it was like he was staring at a devil emerging from the depths of h.e.l.l. His body trembled in fear, and he didn’t even dare to breathe loudly. He then stuttered, “Kid, you’re going to die. You’re going to die very soon!”
Luo Tian didn’t wait for him to finish speaking and exerted force into his hand. He then shouted, “You really don’t want to live?!”
Killing intent surged.
Deng Weilong was extremely unwilling, but he was scared s.h.i.tless right now. He stuttered, “Y, y, yes, I want to live…”
“Good!”
Luo Tian then said with a smile, “Go and apologize to the auntie.”
“Apologize?”
“I, Deng Weilong, have never apologized to anyone in my life. Now, you’re asking me to apologize to an old woman from the slums? You…” Deng Weilong’s face trembled in anger. Making him apologize to her was simply humiliating him.
Luo Tian’s smile turned cold.
“You don’t want to apologize, right?”
“Pak~!” Luo Tian slapped Deng Weilong’s face.
“Are you going to apologize now?”
“Still not going to apologize?”
“Pak~!”
Before Deng Weilong could speak, another slap landed.
After a dozen or so consecutive slaps, Deng Weilong was slapped to the point of seeing stars. His cheek was swollen, his two front teeth knocked out, and blood was seeping out the side of his mouth. He yelled incomprehensibly, “I’ll apologize! I’ll apologize! Just don’t hit me anymore!”
Luo Tian’s arm loosened up as he put down Deng Weilong. “If you’re not sincere about it, this daddy can slap the other side of your face into mush as well.”
Suddenly, there was a shout, “Who dares to behave atrociously in the Heavenly Spirit Pavilion?!”
