A Record of A Mortal's Journey to Immortality

Chapter 166: Ruthless

“Haha! Here it is! I knew Junior Sister would carry it close to her body, and sure enough, I was right!” Senior Brother Lu cried out in delight as he rummaged through the pile of things and pulled out a small red wooden box.

The lid was already open, but due to the angle, Han Li couldn’t clearly see what was inside the box. His curiosity grew even stronger, but he didn’t dare to make any rash moves.

He had to remember that the man opposite him was so ruthless that he wouldn’t hesitate to harm even his own female companion. If this “Junior Brother” was discovered by him, it would mean death to keep the secret—no chance of survival.

Moreover, Han Li had personally witnessed the power of the opponent’s wind attribute spells. Whether attacking or defending, they were incredibly sharp and formidable—not at all comparable to Han Li’s trifling three-step magical skills. And the opponent’s magical power was far deeper, seemingly at the mid-level of the twelfth rank. With such a disparity in both magic and magical power, Han Li was definitely at a disadvantage and seemed to have no chance of winning.

However, Han Li believed that if he truly went all out, he could still stand against his opponent. After all, combining his original magical artifact with the newly acquired one was no small matter. When the time came for a fight, who would kill whom was still uncertain.

But Han Li had no interest in risking his life playing the hero to rescue a woman. After all, that “Junior Sister Chen” had no relations with him. It was her own blind mistake to insist on a relationship with a treacherous man, willingly delivering herself to him. Who could blame Han Li for that? He had no such lofty consciousness to risk his life for no reason.

So he planned to quietly watch this drama to the end, then let “Senior Brother Lu” and himself part ways, with no further involvement. Of course, Han Li would definitely pay more attention to this “Senior Brother Lu” in the future. After all, he had never before met a person so cruel and ruthless. Han Li had to admit he was outmatched in heartlessness.

With that thought, Han Li quietly activated the recently learned qi suppression technique, afraid that the opponent might accidentally sense his presence and force him into a fierce battle.

At this moment, “Senior Brother Lu” placed the wooden box into his storage pouch, let out a few lewd chuckles, and once again crept close to “Junior Sister Chen.”

Excited, he continued tearing at the woman’s clothes while muttering all his inner thoughts aloud, making Han Li, who was hiding nearby, shudder with disgust.

“Junior Sister, don’t blame me! I really have no choice in this matter. You know that stubborn Dong Ni actually said that if I completely sever ties with you, then after foundation establishment, I could cultivate dual cultivation with her. She would even plead with the sect’s matriarch—Senior Uncle Hongfu—to personally accept me as a disciple and teach me world-shaking great skills. This is a godsend opportunity to soar to the heavens in one leap! I truly don’t want to miss this chance, so I can only wrong you, Junior Sister.”

Lying on the ground, “Junior Sister Chen” glared at him furiously. After hearing his heartless words, her entire body trembled with rage. She wished she could immediately sit up and bite this heartless man hard to vent her hatred.

But unfortunately, this cold-hearted man had already used the wind binding technique to restrain her entire body so tightly that she couldn’t move an inch—not even to curse loudly—and was completely at his mercy.

What followed were words from this faithless lover that chilled her to the bone, almost causing her to faint.

“Ahem! If you weren’t the only daughter of the Chen family’s head, I might have let you go. I’m really afraid you’d turn hatred from love and use the Chen family’s power to avenge yourself on me, spreading this matter everywhere and ruining my reputation. And I’ve heard that Senior Uncle Hongfu hates heartless men the most. So, for my own good and for my reputation, you’d better disappear from this world. Surely no one would suspect me, since we used to be so deeply in love!”
