"How is this possible? It's really her!"
Flying swiftly toward the training ground, Liliana's pupils shrank as she looked from afar at the absolutely beautiful girl standing opposite Sora, her face full of disbelief.
"Isn't she the one who's been secluded in the mountains for decades? How could she appear here? This is really troublesome!"
Erica also recognized Cult Leader Luo Hao's identity, her expression instantly turning extremely serious.
Her surname was Luo, given name Cuilian, courtesy name Hao. She was the leader of the Holy Cult of the Five Mountains, also respectfully called Cult Leader Luo Hao. Her martial reputation was known throughout the world, and she was extremely famous in the magic community—a peerless enchantress who was in no way inferior to Marquis Voban!
Of course, this was just the basic information about Cult Leader Luo Hao. In Erica's eyes, she was absolutely more terrifying than Marquis Voban.
That old wolf lord was somewhat overbearing and rough, but he had an intellectual appearance and at least created an atmosphere where one could talk with him. But Cult Leader Luo Hao was different. If you dared to say something trivial in front of her, she would probably immediately chop off your head!
Anyone who had looked directly at the cult leader's body had to gouge out their own eyes; anyone who had heard her voice had to cut off their own ears. This was not a scare tactic for children, nor a rumor spread by hearsay—it was all a very real fact!
"Erica, Liliana, who exactly is that woman? Why does Ena have this feeling that she absolutely cannot fight her?"
Even the usually fearless Ena felt a chill in her heart the moment she saw Cult Leader Luo Hao from afar. Although the other party had already reined in her aura, Ena trusted her long-honed wild instincts without doubt!
That woman was definitely the most terrifying person they had ever encountered!
"Luo Hao—that woman's name."
Extremely ordinary, like the name of a girl next door in China, but this name carried supreme dominance and ferocity. Everyone who knew her trembled uncontrollably!
Sure enough, upon hearing the three words "Luo Hao," Ena, Karen, and the secret sword maidens following closely behind all changed color simultaneously.
"It really is that Demon King, Lord Sora…"
Karen could no longer show her usual sly, fox-like smile. A strange pallor appeared on her face.
They all knew what the name "Luo Hao" represented!
"Watch out!"
Just as Karen was still stunned and filled with endless worry, Liliana's voice suddenly rang out beside her.
Rai rai rai!!!
A sharp sound of something breaking through the air came, and countless bullets rained down densely and overwhelmingly toward the group of girls!
No, those aren't bullets. If you look closely, you'll see they're just some stones. However, at this moment, these stones were flying toward the girls as fiercely and swiftly as bullets!
Whether it was Erica, Liliana, Ena, Karen, or the Secret Sword Maidens, all of them were talented girls with extraordinary skills. Although the attack came suddenly, the girls quickly reacted and all leapt aside to dodge.
Puff puff puff puff puff…
The stones, flying at bullet-like speeds, all struck the ground, producing a dense series of piercing sounds. The originally solid ground was suddenly riddled with pits of various sizes, like a sieve!
"Who's there?!"
Regaining her footing, Erica shouted at the figure who had descended from the sky to attack her sisters.
Like a feather drifting lightly, the boy's figure slowly landed on the ground without making a sound.
A strange gleam flashed in his silver eyes. Liliana was surprised—his lightness skill was extraordinary, not inferior to her own!
When she clearly saw the boy's face, Liliana showed a trace of realization. So it was that guy. If it was him, then it wasn't surprising at all.
No need to say more—the newcomer was Lu Yinghua, the direct disciple of Cult Leader Luo Hao!
"Ah, ah, that was really surprising. I thought I'd hit one or two of you, but you all dodged perfectly."
"Hey, sisters, hello everyone!"
Without any sign of guilt for having just attacked them, Lu Yinghua waved his hand and smiled cheerfully as he greeted the girls.
Seeing that the attacker was actually a boy younger than themselves, Ena, Karen, and the Secret Sword Maidens all looked stunned. Meanwhile, Erica showed a strange smile, brushed her golden hair, and stepped forward:
"Hey… long time no see. So you're Lu Yinghao from the Lu family of Hong Kong!"
…
"What? You actually rejected me?!"
Luo Hao, stunned and incredulous, snapped back to her senses and immediately glared angrily at Sora.
Unforgivable… unforgivable… Luo Hao, the supreme martial artist, leader of the Holy Cult, the one and only in heaven and earth, could not believe that anyone in this world dared to reject her… dared to reject her…
Though not as ancient as Old Voban, Luo Hao had been a God Slayer for over two hundred years and had long forgotten the fate of the last person who dared to defy her sacred decree. She had beheaded him and exterminated his entire clan, hadn't she?
To the extremely proud Luo Hao, this was utterly unbelievable—someone in this world actually dared to refuse her!
Feeling her authority challenged like never before, an endless fury suddenly exploded within her.
From this moment on, Luo Hao was certain that this guy before her was unlike anyone else. If before she only wanted to compete with him, now she found Sora somewhat intriguing!
However, although she was curious about him, Luo Hao's anger was far from extinguished. If he lived today, he would become a special existence to her. She had this premonition.
But if he didn't, she would personally chop off his head—and the same went for those women around him…
From the moment he said he rejected her, he should have been prepared to accept everything!
Seeing Luo Hao's furious and incredulous expression, Sora said nothing, but the two little girls felt delighted inside.
Especially Athena, whose previous shame and anger had completely vanished, now wore an extremely satisfied smile on her cute face.
Damn the Demon King woman! She dared to slander me and ignore me just now—she got her retribution so quickly, didn't she?
Kusanagi Sora, well done! You must reject that hateful woman and make her furious!!!
"How, can't I refuse you?"
With a half-smiling, half-smirking expression, Sora retorted to Luo Hao.
Seeing the girl's furious, murderous glare directed at him, Sora had long anticipated this outcome.
Or rather, this was exactly the result he had hoped for!
So what if you are Luo Hao? Do you expect me to just fight you whenever you want? That would be a huge loss of face for me!
As a grandmaster-level trainer, what kind of woman hasn't Sora trained? What kind of woman hasn't Sora conquered?
Even the dark madwoman Karasuba and the bloodthirsty ultra-S queen Esdeath were no match for Sora. So what's a Luo Hao compared to them?!
For a proud woman like the Cult Leader Sister, you can't just go along with her!
If you do, in her eyes, you're no different from the lapdogs around her.
On the contrary, if you oppose her, tease her a little, though it will infuriate her, it will also intrigue her deeply. That's how you stand out from those lapdogs and leave a deep, unique mark in her heart.
Of course, this approach is risky. Without strength to back it up, you're just waiting to be crushed by the enraged Cult Leader Sister!
"You!!!"
Sure enough, seeing Sora seemingly toying with her, Luo Hao was furious. Divine power surged as she raised a jade palm and struck toward Sora!
The wind roared and clouds swirled. Though it was just a casual palm strike, it carried the Cult Leader Luo Hao's boundless wrath. Sora had no doubt that even if he took the hit, it would be unbearable!
Sensing danger, Athena and Metis tensed up, instinctively wanting to resist. But Sora suddenly tightened his grip on the two loli goddesses, holding them firmly so they couldn't move, wearing a mischievous smile as he let the Cult Leader's jade palm come down on him.
Whoosh…
Like a gust of wind, Sora felt as if he was about to be blown away. Watching the jade palm stop just half an inch in front of him, a slight curve appeared at the corner of his mouth. He knew this would be the result!
Though extremely proud, the Cult Leader cared deeply about her dignity. To put it bluntly, she was very concerned about face. If word got out that she had severely injured a Demon King who didn't even resist, it would damage her prestige. So she wouldn't do such a thing.
Seeing Sora remain calm and unflinching in the face of her strike, a strange gleam flashed in the Cult Leader's beautiful eyes, but then she gave a cold, elegant smile:
"Hmph, King Kusanagi, do you think I can't handle you if I don't strike first? I don't believe you're really not afraid of death. At worst, I'll injure you badly and then heal you. Let's see how long you can hold out!"
Wise and brave, though the situation was unexpected, Luo Hao was no ordinary person and would never let herself be controlled.
"You don't want to fight me? Fine, then I'll punish you first, and then you'll beg me to fight!"
Seeing the jade palm strike toward him again, Sora didn't dare stand still this time. Knowing she wouldn't stop, and having no masochistic tendencies, he naturally chose to dodge.
"Cult Leader Luo Hao, your so-called final battle is nothing but a boring farce to me. The honor of kings, the throne of the world's strongest—I have no interest in any of that."
"If you keep pestering me, we won't mind ganging up on you…"
Releasing Athena and Metis, Sora revealed a devilish, wicked smile.
A sharp gleam flashed in his eyes. Athena and Metis were equally excited. In a flash, the three of them formed a triangle and surrounded the Cult Leader.
The aura of the two little loli goddesses surged wildly, their forms shifting and growing. In the blink of an eye, they had returned to their true queenly forms united as one.
As noble goddesses teaming up with a shameless guy like Sora to gang up on someone, Athena and Metis both felt a bit embarrassed, but this strange excitement and anticipation—what on earth was going on?!
