Wang Ruoxie and the three others turned their gaze towards the young man in luxurious clothing who had spoken, their eyes showing a playful glint.
With the strength of these four, unless they encountered an extremely powerful entity at the half-step Purple Mansion level, they would never be at a disadvantage.
Especially Dugu Mo, who was the strongest among them, able to break through the Fourth Layer of the Nine-layered Tower with a cultivation of the Sixth Layer of the Acupoint Condensation Realm, which was enough to prove that his strength far surpassed a typical half-step Purple Mansion level.
The dozen people before them, although all had cultivation at the Acupoint Condensation Realm, were mostly in the Early and Middle Stages of the realm. Only the young man with a lewd expression in luxurious clothing had cultivation at the Eighth Layer of the Acupoint Condensation Realm.
To Wang Ruoxie's group, these people posed no challenge at all.
Thus, in their eyes, these guys were simply courting death.
"Fair maiden, my name is Zhou Taihe, might I have the honor of getting to know you?"
At this moment, the young man in luxurious clothing spoke again to Xiao Ningyue.
From the moment he appeared, his gaze had not left Xiao Ningyue's stunning face. As for Wang Ruoxie, Qian Duoduo, and Dugu Mo standing beside her, he completely ignored them.
The dozen men behind him were the same, utterly entranced by Xiao Ningyue's peerless beauty.
From the moment Zhou Taihe caught sight of Xiao Ningyue from afar outside the Nine-layered Tower, he could no longer suppress the fiery passion in his heart. At that time, he swore to himself that he would obtain this woman no matter what.
Seeing Wang Ruoxie's group leave, he did not hesitate to follow behind them.
Of course, had Zhou Taihe arrived earlier and witnessed Dugu Mo's tower-breaking feat, he would not have dared to recklessly follow.
As for Xiao Ningyue and Wang Ruoxie, Zhou Taihe had actually seen them break through the tower, but to him, breaking through the Second Layer was insignificant.
Not long ago, with his cultivation at the Eighth Layer of the Acupoint Condensation Realm, he had broken through the Third Layer of the Nine-layered Tower, his strength on par with some geniuses at the Ninth Layer of the Acupoint Condensation Realm.
It was precisely because of this that he had no hesitation in following these four people.
"No."
Xiao Ningyue, with an icy expression, looked at Zhou Taihe, slowly uttering a cold word.
Upon hearing Xiao Ningyue's extraordinarily indifferent response, Zhou Taihe's expression froze, his face turning a bright red, as if greatly humiliated.
He had believed that with his family background, talent, and looks, any woman he desired would be within reach, even if the woman before him was far more beautiful than the average woman, she should be no exception.
In the past, he had never failed. With just a beckoning finger or even a glance, women would go wild for him.
However, he never imagined the woman before him would be so indifferent to him.
"Boss, is this guy an idiot?"
At this moment, Qian Duoduo suddenly sneered, mocking, "I wonder who gave him the courage to set his sights on Sister Yue."
"Dead fatty, you're courting death."
Upon hearing Qian Duoduo's words, Zhou Taihe's face turned extremely unsightly, the humiliation in his heart instantly transforming into cold killing intent.
He couldn't bear to kill the beauty, but he had no qualms about killing this dead fatty.
"Kill this dead fatty for me."
Zhou Taihe ordered coldly to the dozen people behind him.
As Zhou Taihe's words fell, a few people with cultivation of the Third Layer of the Acupoint Condensation Realm stepped forward.
"Boss, these weaklings are yours to deal with, teach them a lesson on behalf of Sister Yue."
Qian Duoduo glanced contemptuously at those few people, then said to Wang Ruoxie.
Wang Ruoxie glanced at Qian Duoduo with a faint smile. He naturally knew Qian Duoduo dared not face these martial cultivators of similar cultivation.
After all, with Qian Duoduo's strength, facing martial cultivators with equal cultivation, at most he could contend with one or two, but here were five of them, he simply couldn't contend.
Nevertheless, Wang Ruoxie still took a step forward, preparing to meet the five with cultivation of the Third Layer of the Acupoint Condensation Realm.
Just as Qian Duoduo said, he intended to vent some anger on Xiao Ningyue's behalf; if not for his low cultivation and inability to match martial cultivators in the Late Stage of the Acupoint Condensation Realm, he would have made Zhou Taihe pay dearly for today's events.
"Ruoxie, leave them to me."
At this moment, Xiao Ningyue said to Wang Ruoxie.
"No need, dealing with these mere five at the Third Layer of the Acupoint Condensation Realm is within my ability."
Wang Ruoxie shook his head with a smile, replying.
"Is this kid crazy, thinking he can handle us five with just Ninth Layer of the Essence Pill Realm cultivation?"
"Since he seeks death, let's oblige him."
The five, seeing Wang Ruoxie preparing to face them all, couldn't help but laugh loudly.
"Kid, how do you want to die?"
One tall and thin young man sneered at Wang Ruoxie.
"I should be the one asking you, how do you want to die?"
Wang Ruoxie replied with a cold smile.
If these guys were at the Middle Stage of the Acupoint Condensation Realm, he might have had trouble handling them, but they were only in the Early Stage, and even if all five were at the Third Layer, he was confident he could defeat them.
Just in time, after cultivating the Fighting Saint Fist, he had yet to fight a real martial cultivator, now he could use these five to test the true power of the Fighting Saint Fist.
"No need to waste words with him, attack together and crush him."
Another blue-clad young man said impatiently.
"Alright, let's move together then."
The tall, thin young man and the others nodded.
Immediately, the forms of the five almost simultaneously rushed forward, encircling Wang Ruoxie.
At the same time, Wang Ruoxie's form also suddenly moved.
He stepped with Cloud Soaring Step, his form turning into shadow figures, reaching one of the five in an instant, without the slightest hesitation, throwing a punch towards that person.
"Fighting Saint Fist."
A fist light, containing terrifying power, burst forth in an instant, engulfing the person entirely before they could react.
The person didn't even have time to scream before being blasted to smithereens, vanishing into the air.
"This... how is it possible?"
Witnessing this scene, the remaining four froze in shock, disbelief written all over their faces.
They knew that person shared their cultivation at the Fourth Layer of the Acupoint Condensation Realm, with similar strength, yet couldn't withstand even one punch. Wouldn't that mean the same fate awaited them before their opponent?
"Not good, retreat!"
Thinking this, the four immediately retreated with no hesitation, devoid of fighting spirit, with only one thought left—escape.
However, how could Wang Ruoxie allow them to escape? His form shifted, taking them down one by one with ease.
"Hiss!"
The people behind Zhou Taihe collectively gasped, their minds in turmoil.
Especially those with cultivation only in the Early Stage of Acupoint Condensation Realm, they were so frightened their faces turned deadly pale, seemingly never expecting such an outcome.
