Watching Xu Wendong knock away the longsword from Master Yuding’s hand with just his finger, both Lin Yiren, Zhao Yin, and the two fair-skinned, beautiful women beside them, all showed expressions of shock in their eyes.

The scene before them completely overturned their understanding.

Even though they witnessed Xu Wendong knock the longsword from Master Yuding’s hand with his finger, they felt as if they were seeing a ghost.

This is too unreasonable!

This kind of technique is absolutely not something a Foundation Establishment Cultivator can possess!

Master Yuding’s face was full of terror, knowing well that escape was impossible today, he suddenly turned his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said: "Your strength is indeed extraordinary, but my master is Master Wudao!"

"He is a Golden Core Peak Expert, just one opportunity away from Golden Core to Nascent Soul transformation, wielding power with a single hand in Qingyuan City. If you harm me, he will not let you go and will tear you to pieces and scatter your soul!"

Xu Wendong coldly laughed, showing disdain on his face: "What of Master Wudao? Even if he were here today, I would not fear him."

"Do you think you can cover your evil deeds by relying on someone else’s reputation?"

"Today, I shall rid Qingyuan City of your poisonous tumor."

With that said, Xu Wendong’s figure flashed, and he was instantly in front of Master Yuding.

Before Master Yuding could react, Xu Wendong had already swung a palm, as fast as lightning, with a whistling wind, heavily striking Master Yuding’s chest.

Master Yuding felt a mountainous force surging into his body, as if his five viscera and six bowels were shattered, spitting a mouthful of blood as his body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, heavily landing on the ground.

"Are you a devil?" Master Yuding was completely panicked, the terror in his eyes beyond words.

Although he was a Golden Core Late Stage expert, Xu Wendong’s strikes were swift, and the strength was continuous, even he found it hard to resist.

Xu Wendong did not stop there; he slowly walked towards the fallen Master Yuding, each step seemingly stepping on Master Yuding’s heart, deepening his fear.

"You have committed many evil deeds, and this is your fate." Xu Wendong’s voice was icy, like a judgment from Hell.

Master Yuding lay on the ground, barely breathing, his eyes filled with despair and unwillingness.

The next moment.

He bit his tongue, unleashing his potential, and lunged at Xu Wendong like a cheetah.

He was as fast as lightning, emanating a crushing aura.

"Such petty tricks, and you dare to show them off?" Xu Wendong showed disdain, then kicked Master Yuding in the abdomen.

Crack!

A crisp cracking sound echoed eerily.

Master Yuding’s body flew uncontrollably and fell heavily to the ground, vomiting blood.

Moreover.

He looked like a deflated balloon, with True Qi whistling out of his body, his appearance swiftly aging, giving a sense of exhaustion.

"No!"

"No!"

"How could my Golden Core have cracks?"

"How could you kick my Golden Core to crack?" Master Yuding was utterly frenzied, finding it hard to believe Xu Wendong’s kick could make his Golden Core crack.

It’s known that the Golden Core is the hardest yet most fragile part of a Golden Core Realm Cultivator. Once damaged, at best, one could lose all cultivation and become crippled, at worst, even die on the spot.

"A mere Golden Core is just an illusion to me!" Xu Wendong clasped one hand behind his back, exuding an air of mystery in his every move.

He looked indifferently at the fallen Master Yuding: "The reason I spare your life is not out of fear of Master Wudao but just to send him a message through you."

"Tell him to behave. If he relies on his Golden Core Stage Peak cultivation to act recklessly, I don’t mind ridding him as well."

At this moment, the entire hall was dead silent, everyone stunned speechless by the sudden change.

Zhao Yin’s legs were weak, collapsing to the ground, his eyes filled with reverence for Xu Wendong.

The two young women covered their mouths, their eyes filled with shock and relief, grateful to be free from Master Yuding’s shadow.

Lin Yiren’s eyes sparkled with tears of excitement, she quickly walked to Xu Wendong’s side and hugged him tightly: "Wendong, you did it, you really did it!"

Xu Wendong smiled slightly, saying: "Sister-in-law, let’s go home!"

Lin Yiren nodded solemnly, immediately taking Xu Wendong’s arm affectionately and walking out.

Just as the two of them stepped into the courtyard, the two graceful, exquisite women with extraordinary auras hurriedly followed them with eager steps.

Both had lingering fear on their faces, yet their eyes held a hint of hope.

The woman in the burgundy dress spoke first, her voice laced with unconcealable tension and gratitude: "Thank you, senior, for saving our lives! Such great kindness and virtue, I will remember eternally and never forget."

Xu Wendong appeared calm, waved his hand, and said indifferently: "It was just a small favor, no need for thanks, nor do the two of you need to dwell on it."

The woman in the qipao short skirt bit her lip slightly, hesitated for a moment, then mustered her courage and said: "Though you see this as a trivial matter, to my sister and me, it is like rebirth, a great kindness."

"If not for your righteous intervention, my sister and I would have certainly fallen into Master Yuding’s hands tonight, suffering at his mercy."

"Therefore," she paused slightly, then raised her head, looking sincerely and eagerly at Xu Wendong: "Senior, my sister and I wish to follow you, no matter what, we are willing to serve diligently."

"We only hope you can grant us the opportunity to repay this kindness, and not consider us foolish!"

They presented themselves very humbly, even though they were well-known figures in Qingyuan City, goddesses in the eyes of many.

After becoming cultivators, they realized that beauty could be a sin!

Therefore, they proposed becoming Xu Wendong’s maids, to repay his kindness and also, most importantly,

seek protection from Xu Wendong.

Though Xu Wendong only had a Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation level, his strength could instantly defeat a Golden Core Late Stage expert.

Moreover, they didn’t doubt that even if Master Wudao himself acted, he was no match for Xu Wendong.

If Xu Wendong became their protector, they wouldn’t have to live in fear.

As for being maids and potential companions, it wasn’t a downside for them either!

After all, he was exceptionally strong and handsome!

They just didn’t know about his abilities in that regard!
