The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

Chapter 177 Attacking from Behind the Back

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

The night in Tiefeng Town was even livelier than in the daytime, especially in the inn where Feng Xi lived.

Ever since the news about the ‘rich woman and little lady’ was spread around, someone would go into the inn every once in a while, which made the manager and waiter more than rejoiced. They were embarrassed before but now with their minds filled with large quantities of crystals, they were so busy receiving the clients and collecting bills.

However, the bustling atmosphere was quickly broken by the arrival of a group of people. For the moment, everyone quieted down.

Dao Pingsheng, a man only second to the captain in the Tianya Bandit Gang, was a strong practitioner at the cultivation level of eight stars of Exalt God. Moreover, his fame was even more notorious than the captain. He never granted the victims a chance to talk when he was killing people. Instead, he directly smashed them with his hammer fiercely and ruthlessly. The weak cultivators would be even smashed into pieces by him.

Therefore, no one would provoke such a ferocious bandit.

There were not many strong practitioners on the plain. Such a strong cultivator as Dao Pingsheng could be rendered top 1 or top 2. As to the cultivator at the cultivation level of Lesser Heaven God, the only one person known on the Great Plain was the head of Tianya Bandit Gang, Shi Changsheng. No one knew about his specific cultivation level. They only knew that he was a big shot. The other bandit gangs were disgruntled about Tianya Bandit Gang, but because of Shi Changsheng, they didn’t dare to show any dissatisfaction anyway.

It was precisely due to Shi Changsheng’s backing that Dao Pingsheng became more and more arrogant and domineering, and almost didn’t take anyone on the Great Plain seriously.

Just like now, he walked into the inn and threw away the person sitting on the chair without saying anything. His action was even more arrogant and domineering than that woman’s haughty commanding tone. He just directly took over others’ seat without asking. He was annoying indeed, but no one dared to condemn him. Even the one thrown away by him could only leave obediently.

It went without saying why Dao Pingsheng showed himself in this place.

The onlookers were guessing when Dao Pingsheng would come over. Unexpectedly, within less than two hours, he just rushed here. It seemed that even he couldn’t stand the temptation of the rich woman and wanted to interfere in this. However, if Dao Pingsheng was also trying to rob the rich woman, they were not confident that they could defeat him once they started fighting.

Even though that was the case, they still held a fluky mind.

Soon, Dao Pingsheng couldn’t sit still anymore. He directly asked the waiter who passed by him which room the rich woman lived in. Then he led his men in a threatening manner to the second floor, and some people also followed up to watch the show.

Lying in bed with his eyes closed, Feng Xi suddenly opened his eyes. “Here comes Dao Pingsheng.”

“What do you want to do?” Ice Qilin appeared in front of Feng Xi. Hearing his excited voice, Ice Qilin rolled his eyes at him angrily.

“Nothing. Let’s watch the show first, and maybe we can still add fuel to the flame duly.” Feng Xi was determined to make trouble, not only to seek revenge on Dao Pingsheng for getting him wanted everywhere but also to teach the woman a lesson. Most importantly, Dao Pingsheng was the biggest obstacle for him to go across the Great Plain. Only by getting rid of him would he be assured.

“You are such an unforgiving person!” Ice Qilin was stunned.

“Then you’re wrong. I’m very principled. My principle is that I will not attack unless attacked but if I’m attacked, I will certainly counterattack!” Amidst saying, Feng Xi nodded his head with certainty. If those two people hadn’t made trouble for him, he would never paid attention to that woman and Dao Pingsheng.

“So what do you want?”

Ice Qilin thought about it and found he had made a good point. He had rarely seen Feng Xi mess with others proactively since they two met. Generally, he would only seek revenge when others messed with him first. Ice Qilin kind of liked his revengeful character.

“I’m a thief master. Of course I shall adopt a way of a thief master,” Feng Xi had long thought about it.

Ice Qilin squinted at Feng Xi. “Dao Pingsheng is never a match for that woman’s maid. The gap in strength between the two is too big. If she fights with him, the outcome will be immediately seen. In that case, you won’t have time to steal anything, right? As for that woman, given your current capability, although you are two stars inferior to her, it won’t be difficult for you to defeat her with the skills you have practiced. It just takes some time. In conclusion, I don’t think your plan is feasible!”

“I have you too. You just need to do Dao Pingsheng a little favor and let him not lose too miserably. It would be the best if you could lure the captain behind him out. In that case, they will get into a dogfight. And we just wait to take the profit at other’s expense,” Feng Xi said with a beaming smile.

“As for that woman, it’s even simpler to deal with her. In the past, in order to successfully escape from the temple, I specifically developed some medicines. One of them is a strong hallucination drug that can entrap people. Although Uncle White has seen through it every time, I’m still very confident of it. If it doesn’t work, I can use other medicines, such as the Petrifying Liquid. Anyway, something will work.”

The things that Feng Xi made were placed in the ring. Because those things were always seen through by Uncle White, he did not use them later on. Now that he finally had a chance to use them, he must observe the medicinal properties properly and then improve in the future.

“I didn’t know that you were so prepared,” Ice Qilin smiled at him.

This kid gave him a different feeling. Somehow, when he tried to take the initiative, he conceived a thorough plan and didn’t look as if suffering loss. Now he was different from the one who would only act like a spoiled child before King of the Netherworld. He was so independent-minded that Ice Qilin couldn’t help suspecting whether the kid only acted like that in front of King of the Netherworld. In fact, this was his true color, completely not as ignorant as he looked like. Besides, he was very meticulous.

As Feng Xi expected, things went smoothly. Dao Pingsheng took a fancy to the woman’s beauty and wealth, attempting to make her his concubine, but how could the woman agree in light of his haughtiness? Therefore, they started fighting without saying much. Yet, the woman’s cultivation level was a few stars lower than Dao Pingsheng. Moreover, Dao Pingsheng was a shrewd man, who just struck his best moves. Instantly, the woman was restrained.

As she saw her young lady restrained by Dao Pingsheng, the maid immediately launched any attack.

By one move only, Dao Pingsheng was beaten and retreated for dozens of steps. Dao Pingsheng was shocked, but in front of everyone, he had already said that he would take the woman back to be his wife, so if he ran away at the moment, he could not afford to lose face.

Dao Pingsheng couldn’t afford to lose face. Neither could the woman.

This time, she was so angry that she wanted to kill someone. An insignificant man of a bandit gang dared to claim to make her his concubine. How dare he? He was clearly insulting her dignity and identity. This time she would never let go of him. She must rip off his skin, tear off his bones, and expose his body to the sun. Otherwise, she would write her name Di Tianhua backwards.

“Long Shi, I hereby order you to kill him!” Di Tianhua was so furious.

“Duly noted.” Long Shi was the maid. She could understand the anger of Di Tianhua. Moreover, how could an insignificant bandit disgrace their princess? Since Dao Pingsheng dared to insult the princess, she could never let go of him. A momentum that surpassed that of Exalt God instantly broke out in this inn.

Dao Pingsheng’s face turned pale with his staring eyes full of horror.

He never imagined that the little girl’s maid would be a Lesser Heaven God who was comparable to the captain. Even if he was a strong cultivator at the cultivation level of eight stars of Exalt God, it was impossible for him to defeat a Lesser Heaven God. He could be easily killed. Moreover, the maid was a cultivator at the cultivation level of Lesser Heaven God, which suggested that the woman must be backed by a strong power.

It was only now that Dao Pingsheng found out that the reason why they showed off their wealth was not because they had no brains, but because they never took the bandits on the Great Plain seriously. They were confident enough to kill those who coveted them.

He had finally hit a snag this time!

Dao Pingsheng knew that he couldn’t defeat that maid, so he immediately sent a message to their captain. Then he turned around and wanted to escape. After all, life was more important than dignity.

“You want to leave? It’s too late.” Long Shi stared coldly at the back of Dao Pingsheng who fled, and then struck an attack.

Although it was just an ordinary blow, Lesser Heaven God’s power was real. In terms of Dao Pingsheng’s cultivation level, he would be half dead at least if he was hit.

However, just as Dao Pingsheng was about to be hit, the destructive force just vanished in front of everyone as if hitting a cloud of soft cotton. And Dao Pingsheng was not injured at all, who was instantly dumbfounded to see what was happening in front of him.

Ice Qilin, hidden in the dark, condensed a wisp of solid divine detection from between his eyebrows, which was shot into his mind when Dao Pingsheng was absent-minded.

Dao Pingsheng trembled and didn’t react at all. The consciousness in his mind was forcefully erased and completely occupied by Ice Qilin. Ice Qilin wouldn’t show any mercy for this kind of horrible person. After all, he would only do harm to more people if he stayed alive. Moreover, Ice Qilin only needed to stall for some time until the captain of the Tianya Bandit Gang arrived.

The plan went smoothly as Feng Xi expected.

Feng Xi saw that Di Tianhua was standing by the window watching Long Shi and Dao Pingsheng fighting in the sky with an angry and yet focused look. She didn’t even notice he was sneaking into her room. Feng Xi immediately took out the prepared thing and shot it at the bare neck of Di Tianhua.

As soon as the thing touched the skin, it would immediately seep into the flesh and blood. Di Tianhua felt a sudden itch in her neck, but she reached out and got nothing.

Just as she felt strange, her body suddenly stiffened like a stone.
