Chapter 560: Showing Off
“If you want to fight, then fight. Why all the useless talk?” Li Mochou swept her whisk with a cold arrogance, standing tall as she commanded silent admiration from those in the tavern.
Though Li Mochou didn’t have the best reputation in the martial world, she now appeared far more heroic than the Three Fiends of Qinghai or Yue Buqun of Mount Hua Sect.
“Miss Li, you truly are a straightforward person. We won’t make things hard for you. We’ll allow you to take y0ur own life,” Zhang San said, hands behind his back. His face was filled with a gentle smile, yet his words were chillingly ruthless.
“Ridiculous. Even if I, Li Mochou, were to die, I would die with clarity, not frightened into su!cide by a single word from you!” Having seen the recent skirmish and how Zhang San had effortlessly subdued the Three Fiends of Qinghai, Li Mochou knew his martial arts were immeasurably deep. She understood she was no match.
Yet her nature had always been resilient. She dared to fight even against those far more powerful than herself, which perhaps explained why she often performed beyond her own limits in real combat.
“Stop!” Mu Wanqing stepped in front of Li Mochou, saying in a clear voice, “Since you claim to reward good and punish evil, why not go after true villains like Blank Fiend or Qinghai Yixiao? Why bully Sister Li?”
“The Blank Fiend and the Qinghai Yixiao may be ruthless killers, but their crimes are mostly limited to vendettas within the martial world. Miss Li, however, has mu*rdered countless innocents who don’t know martial arts. Her sins are far more grievous,” Zhang San explained calmly.
Momentarily speechless, Mu Wanqing, in desperation, blurted out, “If you kill her, the Golden Serpent King won’t spare you!”
“I heard your conversation earlier. No need to deceive me, young lady. The Golden Serpent King and Miss Li have met only once. Miss Li is simply repaying a debt of gratitude by risking her life to save you; there’s nothing personal between them,” Zhang San said with a knowing smile.
