...
But after all, he was taking people's money, knowing that if he backed down crestfallen like this today, going back would also mean certain death.
Under extreme fear, this burly man actually generated a trace of reckless courage.
He endured the excruciating pain of his bones creaking under pressure, lifted his head with difficulty, and argued through clenched teeth:
"You... So what if you are a Spirit Saint!"
"Heaven Dou City has imperial laws!"
"Moon Pavilion sells fake goods and messes around!"
"We... We are just here to defend our rights!"
"Is defending our rights not even allowed? Do you dare to kill people in broad daylight on the street?!"
"Defending your rights?"
Luo Nan stopped, looking down condescendingly at the burly man, the corners of his mouth curling into a cruel arc.
"Moon Pavilion is a place that teaches noble etiquette and courtly elegant music, and it never sells any musical instruments."
"You came here to defend your rights holding a broken qin, do you really take everyone in the World for blind?"
Before his voice fell, Luo Nan's gaze suddenly turned cold.
No one saw clearly how he moved; they only felt a flash of golden light before their eyes.
"Bang!"
A teeth-grating sound of bones cracking suddenly rang out.
Luo Nan's right leg, resembling a golden steel whip, fiercely lashed against the burly man's chest.
"Puff—"
The burly man wildly spewed a large mouthful of fresh blood mixed with fragments of internal organs, his entire person flying backward as if struck by a battering ram, flying off like a broken burlap sack.
He traced a long parabola in mid-air, flying a full twenty-plus meters away.
Then he heavily smashed into the wall on the opposite side of the street, smashing a large crater into that thick brick wall.
Afterwards, he slid down limply, his life or death unknown.
A single kick, instant kill!
This scene completely shattered the psychological defense lines of the remaining troublemakers.
"Ah—! Murder!"
"Spare my life! My lord, spare my life! We were also directed by someone!"
"It has nothing to do with me, I will never dare again!"
The remaining dozen or so people were scared out of their wits, scrambling and crawling up from the ground.
Not even bothering to pick up the shoes that fell on the ground, crying out to their fathers and mothers, they fled frantically in all directions.
Fearing that running a step slower would result in the same fate as that burly man.
After all, the name Golden Scale Blood Butcher was extremely resounding!
No one dared to cross the Golden Scale Blood Butcher!
Luo Nan did not pursue them, merely scanning coldly around the surrounding crowd and the corners hidden in the dark.
That icy gaze seemed capable of piercing through all schemes and plots, causing those spies who originally harbored malicious intentions to lower their heads one after another, cold sweat pouring down.
Just at this moment, the carriage door was pushed open once again.
Tang Yuehua took a deep breath, calming the ripples in her heart, and with elegant and dignified steps, slowly walked down from the carriage.
Today she wore a moon-white court dress, her temperament noble and inviolable.
Although last night's madness left her steps still carrying a trace of imperceptible stiffness, in this kind of occasion, she perfectly displayed the aura proper to the Moon Pavilion Master.
Tang Yuehua walked to Luo Nan's side, looking around calmly at the surrounding crowd, her crisp and majestic voice echoing across the square:
"Ladies and gentlemen, Moon Pavilion is a formal etiquette teaching place of the Heaven Dou Empire, and has always upheld elegance and purity."
"Today's matter is purely malicious framing and slander by petty villains. I, Tang Yuehua, hereby declare that Moon Pavilion will never allow anyone to slander it wantonly!"
"If anyone dares to come make unreasonable troubles again, bear the consequences yourselves!"
Tang Yuehua's words carried weight and instantly stabilized the reputation of Moon Pavilion.
Just as her voice fell, Luo Nan suddenly reached out his right hand, pulling Tang Yuehua's slender waist into his embrace.
Tang Yuehua's body suddenly stiffened, instinctively wanting to break free, but Luo Nan's arm was like iron pliers, firmly trapping her within his embrace.
Luo Nan ignored Tang Yuehua's shy and annoyed gaze, turned his head to face the entire audience, and announced in an extremely domineering, unquestionable tone:
"Listen clearly to me, all of you!"
"Starting today, Tang Yuehua is my, Luo Nan's, woman!"
"Moon Pavilion is my territory!"
"Whoever dares to harbor thoughts about her again, or comes to Moon Pavilion to cause trouble, had better first weigh whether their head is hard enough!"
Having said that, Luo Nan completely ignored the shocked gazes of the surrounding people, directly holding Tang Yuehua's waist and striding into the gates of Moon Pavilion.
Until the figures of the two completely disappeared behind the doors, the silent street suddenly burst into a deafening uproar.
"My god! Did I hear wrong? The Golden Scale Blood Butcher Luo Nan is actually Tang Yuehua's man?!"
"No wonder Tang Yuehua dared to stay alone in Heaven Dou City, it turned out she found such a huge backing!"
"Heaven Dou City is going to be lively now. Luo Nan's strength is notoriously terrifying!"
The news grew wings, and within a mere half day, it spread through the streets and alleys of the entire Heaven Dou City, reaching the desks of major forces as well.
The Golden Scale Blood Butcher Luo Nan, this name was definitely a headache-inducing existence within the upper-level circles of Heaven Dou City.
He was a Loose Cultivator without any background, yet he possessed an extremely rare top-tier mutated Spirit.
Even more terrifying was his combat record. He had once torn apart a Spirit King with the cultivation of a Spirit Ancestor in an underground Spirit battle arena.
That was a long-established Spirit King who had a very long winning streak record in the underground Spirit battle arena.
As a result, Luo Nan made that Spirit King turn into a Spirit death right then and there!
A few years later, after breaking through to level seventy, he relied on his formidable physical body and overbearing dragon-type Spirit Ability to kill an eighty-first-rank Spirit Douluo across levels!
The Heaven Dou Imperial Family, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and even the Spirit Hall branch in Heaven Dou City had all thrown olive branches toward him, offering heavy profits to recruit him.
But Luo Nan refused them all, and his attitude was extremely tough.
In this World, Loose Cultivators who refused recruitment from major forces usually did not live long.
Yet Luo Nan lived on quite well, and his life was getting more and more comfortable.
This was enough to prove that he was not only formidable in strength but also extremely brilliant in his methods, an absolute ruthless character who could not be provoked.
Now, this ruthless character high-profilely announced that he was protecting Tang Yuehua.
Those forces that originally wanted to kick Moon Pavilion while it was down taking advantage of the Clear Sky Sect closing its mountain gates, and seize the opportunity to curry favor with Spirit Hall—
After obtaining this news, they all gasped a breath of cold air, instantly extinguishing the greed in their hearts.
Are you kidding me?
To please Spirit Hall, go offend a lunatic who might break through to a Spirit Douluo at any time and kills without blinking an eye?
This deal was simply not worth it. As long as Spirit Hall's upper echelons did not personally step forward, within this Heaven Dou City, probably no one would dare to touch a single hair on Tang Yuehua anymore.
...
Inside Moon Pavilion.
Although the storm outside had subsided, the noble students inside Moon Pavilion were still in a state of panic and unease.
Most of them were young masters and young misses who had never experienced bloody storms, and the terrifying Killing Intent that Luo Nan had erupted earlier had scared them quite badly.
