Chapter 187: How Dare a Young La.s.s Act Like a Tiger in Front of Me!

Xuan Ba sized up Chu Luo with a look of disbelief, then he finally looked at Jin Hui and said mockingly, “President Jin, even if you wanted to be biased, you shouldn’t be biased to this extent. To think that you’re actually making a little girl take the rap. Don’t think I won’t argue with you just because of that.”

“Sect Master Xuan, you…”

“What else do you want to say?” Xuan Ba didn’t want to listen to Jin Hui at all. His body emitted a powerful murderous aura. “If you don’t hand that person over today, we won’t let this rest.”

“What are you going to do?”

Chu Luo raised her hand, and the bracelet on her wrist made a crisp sound. Then, everyone felt a change in the atmosphere in the hall.

The air seemed to freeze for two seconds.

After those two seconds, a powerful gust of wind came from Xuan Yi’s formation. The strong gust turned into a wind blade that headed straight for everyone.

Everyone jumped in fright and quickly used their best abilities to block those wind blades while retreating.

When the others moved to the wall and found that the wind blades weren’t following them, they heaved a sigh of relief and looked towards the middle.

At this moment, Chu Luo and Xuan Ba were standing in the middle of the hall.

After being stunned silent momentarily, Xuan Ba angrily pointed at her. “So it really is you!”

“Hehe…” Chu Luo laughed, a laugh that was especially annoying. “I admitted to it but you refused to believe me. Who can you blame?”

“Hmph! A young la.s.s dares to play tricks in front of me! I was already running while you were still learning to crawl. Today, I’ll teach you what it means when people say there’s always someone better.”

After saying that, a Lightning Talisman appeared in his hand. The Lightning Talisman flew to Chu Luo’s head, and rumbling thunder exploded above her.

The group of people standing at the side couldn’t stand it anymore.

Jin Hui roared furiously, “Sect Master Xuan, are you crazy? If you dare to use the Lightning Talisman here, you’ll ruin this hall. Buddhist land is sacred. How can you behave atrociously in a sacred place like this?!”

“Not only am I going to destroy this place today, but I’m also going to blow up this young la.s.s. What can you do to me?”

“You…”

Chu Luo glanced at the anxious Jin Hui and at the few other people who were worried about her. She also took out a talisman from her Heaven-and-Earth pouch.

As soon as the talisman was out, the surrounding aura changed rapidly. In the next second, she and Xuan Ba disappeared at the same time.

Chu Luo pulled Xuan Ba into the small s.p.a.ce.

Xuan Ba looked at the boundless s.p.a.ce and widened his eyes until they were like copper bells. “You actually know spatial magic.”

“I know many things.” Chu Luo looked at him and snorted. “If you want to fight, fight. After that, I plan on checking out the night view at the monastery.”

“You…” Xuan Ba felt that he had been underestimated by a young girl. He gritted his teeth and said, “Then don’t blame me for being impolite.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly threw a few Lightning Talismans into the air.

Thunder rumbled and exploded in the sky.

However, to his surprise, the s.p.a.ce that was originally filled with a few bolts of lightning soon became filled with lightning and thunder, accompanied by violent winds.

In the next moment, all the lightning and thunder flew towards him.

Xuan Ba realized that something was wrong and asked loudly, “What did you do?”

“In this small world that I created, I will, of course, follow my heart.”

“F*ck, I actually fell for your trap.”

Xuan Ba also had some ability. After he finished speaking, he shouted, jumped up, and slammed his hand down below his feet.

His strength was especially great. As a bolt of lightning blasted his hair into a chicken’s nest, he actually forcefully broke through Chu Luo’s small s.p.a.ce and returned to reality.

Everyone looked at the sudden appearance of Xuan Ba and was shocked by his explosive hairstyle and pitch-black face.

Xuan Ba took a few steps back before he could regain his balance. After he regained his balance, he raised his hand and quickly touched his face. When he felt that everyone was looking at him, his face, which was already dark from the explosion, darkened even more.

The physical pain in his chest was minor compared to the loss of face. Xuan Ba shouted, “Little la.s.s, looks like you’re forcing me to use my real ability on you!”

After saying that, he quickly took out a fist-sized copper bell and a talisman, intending to cause trouble for Chu Luo.

When the others saw this, they jumped in fright.

Jin Hui shouted at Xuan Ba, “Sect Master Xuan, forgive people wherever you can. It was your disciple who started this matter. It’s truly unethical of you to deal with a child like this! Besides, this is a monastery. Do you want to kill someone in it?”

The others quickly agreed with Jin Hui.

Who didn’t know that the copper bell in Xuan Ba’s hand was a Dharmic Artifact of their sect? This kind of magic tool was especially domineering. It could even shatter the souls of demons and ghosts, let alone that of a mortal.

No matter how unreasonable Xuan Ba was usually, it was impossible for him to really kill in the monastery. He didn’t dare to provoke the abbot inside. Therefore, when he saw so many people advising him, he deliberately revealed an expression that seemed to convey he was giving everyone face. He said to Chu Luo in a high and mighty tone, “I’ll let you off today.”

After saying that, he put away the bell and walked to the array formation Xuan Yi had set up to investigate.

Chu Luo pursed her lips slightly and looked at Xuan Ba, but she didn’t speak immediately. Instead, she turned around and stood beside Jin Hui.

Jin Hui glanced at the explosive-headed Xuan Ba and tilted his head to cover his mouth with his hand as he asked in a low voice, “Young Friend, what did you do to Xuan Ba just now? He’s actually so…”

Jin Hui had originally wanted to say “disheveled,” but seeing Xuan Ba like this, he thought that the word “disheveled” wasn’t enough to describe it. It could only be described as “sorry-looking.”

So he didn’t say it out loud.

Chu Luo curled her lips. “I let him test how powerful the lightning he lured here is. Reality has proven that this person has a thick skin and a good lightning resistance.”

The corners of Jin Hui’s lips twitched as he choked and coughed.

He quickly clenched his fist and pressed it against his lips to suppress the cough. He continued in a low voice, “Young Friend, don’t anger this person too much. The copper bell in his hand is a divine artifact. Its power is especially domineering.”

“Divine artifact?” Chu Luo narrowed her eyes as she looked at the copper bell that Xuan Ba had deliberately stuck to his belt with a talisman. A glint flashed across her eyes as the corners of her lips curled up.

She said, “I’d like to see how powerful his divine artifact is.”

“That won’t do!”

Jin Hui said, “Xuan Ba’s copper bell can shatter the souls of demons and ghosts. If it were used on a person, their soul would definitely be shattered as well.”

Chu Luo nodded and asked, “Has he harmed anyone with this bell before?”

“Erm… I don’t know.”

Chu Luo looked at Jin Hui in surprise.

Jin Hui said, “Our Metaphysics Society doesn’t actually have much contact with sects like them in private. Moreover, the research direction is different, so no one knows what Xuan Ba did in private. As long as he destroys the evidence, no one will know.”

Chu Luo nodded and didn’t say anything else, but she had already made up her mind.

At this moment, Xuan Ba happened to feel impatient from studying that array. He turned around and looked at Chu Luo, pointed at her, and ordered fiercely, “You, break this array!”

After saying that, he placed his hand on the bell on his belt again, a clear threat.

Chu Luo walked over in front of the worried gazes of the others and looked at Xuan Ba. She raised the corners of her lips and asked calmly, “Can’t you break this formation? I thought you were very powerful.”

Xuan Ba swallowed his words back down, and a ball of fury burned in his heart. He thought to himself, ‘I’ll deal with you later,’ and roared, “You made the formation so break it. If you keep spouting nonsense…”

“Are you planning to deal with me in private?”

“…”

The smile on Chu Luo’s face widened. Suddenly, she said in a voice only the two of them could hear, “Let’s go to the peach forest outside to spar later.”

After saying that, she didn’t care if Xuan Ba agreed or not. She walked to the two pieces of black iron and quickly pointed in several directions. “Break!”

With a loud crack, Xuan Yi and Xuan Xin both fell out of the array.

Looking at the disheveled hair and ragged clothes of the two of them, at their exposed skin was even bruised, it was as if they had been beaten up by someone, or as if they had just experienced a robbery. They were extremely sorry-looking.

The moment Xuan Xin fell out of the array, she fainted.

Xuan Yi didn’t faint, but he wasn’t as arrogant as before. As soon as he saw Xuan Ba, he wailed.

Xuan Ba strode over and squatted in front of Xuan Xin. With a livid expression, he quickly reached out to touch her nose. After confirming that she was still breathing, his expression brightened a little.

After confirming that Xuan Xin wasn’t dead, he turned to ask Xuan Yi, “What happened? Why couldn’t you come out of the array you set up yourself?”

“Ah… Boo…”

Xuan Ba was as irritable as thunder. “Shut up! Answer my question!”

Xuan Yi trembled and stopped crying. He turned to Chu Luo and pointed at her. “It’s her! She did something to my array!”

“Tsk~” Chu Luo had a look of disdain. “Aren’t you very powerful? You can’t come out after I casually tampered with your array. You’re not very skilled, are you?!”

Chu Luo deliberately asked after she finished speaking, “Who taught you?”

Xuan Ba’s face instantly darkened to a new level. He asked while breathing heavily, “What’s wrong with your senior sister?”

“Senior Sister was poisoned.”

“Whose poison can poison your senior sister?”

“Well… if Xuan Xin doesn’t poison others, maybe she poisoned herself.”

Xuan Ba and Xuan Yi glared at Chu Luo as if they wanted to eat her alive.

Chu Luo shrugged innocently. “Am I wrong?”

If they admitted it, then they would be admitting that they weren’t skilled enough. Xuan Ba and Xuan Yi were prideful people, so they could only swallow their anger.

However, killing intent flashed across Xuan Ba’s eyes.

Chu Luo looked into his eyes and turned to walk out of the hall. As she walked, she said, “I’m done watching the show. I’ll go see what the monks in the temple are going to do during their evening cla.s.s.”

With that, she strode away.
