ATG: My genius is almost frightening!

Chapter 134: Getting Back to Old Business!



"..." Yun Wuji's left cheek twitched as he fixed his gaze on the short, bald man. A mix of disbelief and disgust appeared on his face. Why is there always a guy like this in every group of bad guys?

'I'll grind his bones and mince his meat later,' Yun Wuji thought. Thankfully for this guy, Yun Wuji wasn't as extreme as he used to be. Otherwise, he would have shown him just how close dogs could be to humans. Instead, he'd settle for reducing him to a lump of flesh.

'Sigh, I've grown softer these past few years. Who made me be such a nice guy?' Yun Wuji thought hypocritically. Putting on a terrified expression, he stumbled back a few steps, waving both hands frantically as he shouted, "Lords! Lords! Please spare my life! I'll give you everything I have!"

"Hehe, I thought with his dashing looks, he'd at least have some guts, but he's just a spineless coward!" one of them sneered, pointing at Yun Wuji and laughing contemptuously. "Hahaha! What do you expect a lowly Sovereign Profound Realm cultivator to do? Fight back?" another one laughed loudly, joining in.

"Brat, don't worry. If you serve Daddy, I'll spare your life. Puahahaha!" The short baldy, eyed Yun Wuji's lower body greedily, his voice filled with an obscene laugh.

"Pah! Gutless coward!" The bloodied man spat in disdain upon seeing Yun Wuji's

performance. He then glared at the bandits with a fierce expression, "Come at me! Daddy will take at least one of you down with him!"

"Bastard!"

"You're half a step from the grave, and you still dare to utter such words!"

"That's right! Daddy here will kill you!"

His words infuriated the bandits, but despite all their fierce threats, none of them actually took a step forward.

They were all despicable lowlifes, too afraid for their lives. How could they possibly charge in mindlessly and die? That would be too stupid, even for idiots like them.

All the wealth and women they had accumulated would be taken 'care off' by their "comrades"!

Their boss looked at them, his eyebrows twitching in frustration. With a disdainful glare, he scolded, "Useless bunch! Step aside, I'll finish him myself!"

"Boss is making a move!"

"Boss is mighty!"

"Bastard, with the boss making a move, you're dead meat!"

The bloodied man's expression turned grim. He clenched his sword and bent slightly. His cultivation was lower than the boss's, and even if he were in full health, he knew he stood no chance of beating him.

Most of his injuries had also been inflicted by this guy. Every time he was about to deliver a fatal blow to one of the bandits, this bastard would always strike him first.

"..." While keeping a terrified expression, Yun Wuji closely observed their movements, all while circulating his profound energy.

The boss casually held his saber and stomped the ground with a loud boom, launching himself toward the man. With a powerful swing, he slashed downward with his sword.

The man gripped his sword with both hands, blocking the attack. His legs bent from the force as the collision sent a powerful shockwave erupting from their clash, pushing the surrounding bandits back a few steps.

Yun Wuji, still maintaining his act, was thrown backward, tumbling a few dozen meters away. The dead bodies were sent flying like ragdolls, tumbling through the air. The man glanced at them from the corner of his eye, and a flash of pain crossed his face.

"You are good! But unfortunately, the gap between realms is not something anyone can cross!" The boss nodded at the man, then grinned before slashing with his saber again.

The man reacted quickly, blocking the saber attack with his sword, resulting in another shockwave! The blow rocked the ground beneath them, sending vibrations through the air.

"Ora! Ora! Ora! Block it again! How long can you keep blocking, hahaha! Ora! Ora! Ora!" The boss continued to attack furiously, his laughter booming as each strike came faster and harder.

"..." Yun Wuji observed them closely, his body trembling and his expression filled with fear. Anyone who saw him would think he was just a weak, good-looking gigolo.

At this moment, the bloodied man finally couldn't hold on any longer. The boss's saber was about to pierce his chest.

Rumbling Heaven!

Boom!

Suddenly, Yun Wuji's expression turned cold. Blood-red light erupted from him as he opened the gates of his heretic god's veins. Almost instantly, he appeared behind the bandit boss!

"What?!!" The boss had just stabbed the bloodied man in the heart with his saber when suddenly a blood-red hand pierced through his back, emerging from his chest.

"Ah... ahh... you... you!" He slowly lowered his head and saw the hand holding his still- beating heart.

Yun Wuji clenched his hand, crushing the heart into pieces.

Smack!

Casually, he pulled his hand from the bandit's chest and backhanded him, sending the boss flying and smashing into the short baldy.

"Argh!" The bald guy let out a blood-curdling cry as his bones cracked from the impact.

"Boss!!!"

"What...what happened?!"

"How could this be?!"

"The boss is down! We are fucked!"

The other bandits' eyeballs bulged, nearly popping out of their eyes. They were just about to cheer for their boss for taking down that poor guy when suddenly that pretty boy appeared behind their boss, penetrated him, and then clapped his cheek...cough, I mean, smacked his

cheek!

At the same time, the

bodied man held the saber piercing his heart. He didn't feel pain, only

confusion. He looked at Yun Wuji and said with difficulty, "You..."

"You can rest in peace. I'll take revenge for you and give you a proper burial," Yun Wuji said in

a low voice.

"Th-thank...you..." The man muttered his last words and closed his eyes. His body collapsed

to the ground, dead.

Yun Wuji looked at the dead man and shook his head. This was the sorrow of the weak, no matter how much they avoided trouble or refrained from competing with anyone, trouble would still come to find them.

He deactivated the Rumbling Heaven gate; the current him couldn't hold it for more than a hundred breaths.

That boss was at the 8th level of the Divine Origin Realm, while he was at the 8th level of the Sovereign Profound Realm. If he were to fight him fairly, it would take some effort to kill him, and with the addition of the other bandits, he might even end up being defeated.

Yun Wuji tapped the ground lightly and appeared among the panicked bandits. He slapped one of them with such force that it tore his head from his neck, sending it flying.

The bandit's neck erupted into a fountain of blood before he collapsed to his knees and then

fell to the ground.

"Run! Agh!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Spare me! Spare me! Agh!"

Amidst the cries of the bandits, Yun Wuji moved through them swiftly, like a wolf among a

pack of sheep, ripping their heads from their bodies with brutal slaps.

Finally, after Yun Wuji stopped, only the short baldy remained standing.

The short baldy glanced at his headless comrades and stumbled back until he fell to the

ground, begging for mercy. "Lord! Please spare me! I didn't mean to offend you, please spare

me, my lord!"

"Do you know why I spared your life?" Yun Wuji squatted down and said with a harmless

smile.

"Why?" The short man asked, his voice shaky.

"Because if I killed you, who would pay the protection fees?" Yun Wuji maintained his

harmless smile and spoke slowly.

"Protection fees? Protecting us from whom?" The man felt completely lost trying to keep up

with this terrifying guy and asked in bewilderment.

Smack!

"Are you dumb? Of course, it's to protect you from me!" Yun Wuji's smile dropped as he slapped the man across the face, sending him rolling across the ground for hundreds of

meters.

"Agh!!!" The short man let out a loud cry of pain. After a few moments, he got up, crawling toward Yun Wuji, too scared to stand. With a smile that looked uglier than crying, half of his face red and deformed from the slap, his whole body covered in dirt and blood, he said, "Thank you for the slap, I understand now! Right, we need to pay you for your hard-working

protection!"

"Good! I like smart people!" Yun Wuji nodded in approval, then ordered, "Now go and collect all the good things these trash have."

"Yes! Yes! Right away, my lord!" The short man quickly nodded, his head bobbing like a chick

pecking, before rushing off to search through the mangled bodies of his comrades. He forcefully opened their pockets and took out any valuables or resources they had. Once he finished with his comrades, he ran toward the family they had ambushed, quickly searching through their bodies as well.

"This is all they had, my lord! I have sinned towards you as well! Please accept this as a token of my forgiveness!" The short man placed everything he had collected in front of Yun Wuji, then, with an ugly smile, he took out all his accumulated wealth and presented it to him,

hoping to buy his mercy.

"Hmm, tell me the name of this realm," Yun Wuji nodded after storing everything and asked.

"Name?" The short man was startled. Why is this scary guy asking for the name of the realm? But when he saw Yun Wuji frown, he quickly answered, "The name of this realm is the Azure Cloud Realm! We're in the south of the Azure Cloud Realm! The largest city in this area is

Azure Grove City!"

"Tell me everything you know about this realm," Yun Wuji listened to him and then ordered

again. "Yes, my lord!" The short man quickly nodded, eager to please. He answered all Yun Wuji's questions without hesitation, even revealing all the small secrets he knew. He desperately tried to display his value in hopes that this terrifying figure would spare his life. After more than an hour of questioning, Yun Wuji understood his situation. He was in a Low-

rank realm called the Azure Cloud Realm, located on the far eastern side of the Eastern Divine Region. He was quite far from the Snow Song Realm, but what surprised him was the name of the realm. "The first place I stepped on in the Blue Pole Realm is the Azure Cloud Continent, and the first place I stepped on in the God Realm is the Azure Cloud Realm! Interesting!"

'Coincidence? I think NOT!'
