Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1472: Unforeseen Storms (High Energy)_3

Feng Daiku’s eyes were filled with tears, his heart full of reluctance, yet he was about to strangle He Jiaqing to death.

At the same time, Ma Wu whistled continuously, Ah Qin, Huoling, Ah Rou, Duan Wuchou… over a hundred cherished beauties charged out from the mansion.

He Jiaqing was in a dire situation, yet Shang Rongchu, hiding on the side, had not taken action.

He sensed something increasingly amiss. Feng Daiku had cultivation at the Cloud Top Third Layer, but according to Mr. Kong Fang, He Jiaqing’s cultivation might already be Above the Cloud.

The gap in combat experience between the two was huge. Feng Daiku had been traversing Pants Belt Pit for many years, surely experiencing far more than He Jiaqing.

Yet, the combat power He Jiaqing showed today was too lacking, and none of his advantages in cultivation were apparent.

Under siege, He Jiaqing was about to lose his life; Shang Rongchu could no longer just watch.

He jumped into the midst of the crowd, threw his tattered clothes among them, and casually opened a bag of rouge, stirring a fragrant breeze within the crowd.

Smelling this fragrance, the women attacking He Jiaqing felt their bodies go numb, and Ma Wu’s body went numb as well.

Their faces flushed, breathing rapid, legs weak, some could hardly stand steady.

Ah Qin suspected the rouge was poisonous, shouting to everyone: “Hold your breath!”

Feng Daiku yelled: “Don’t hold your breath, take Wulang away!”

Holding their breath was useless; the rouge wasn’t poisonous — it was merely a medicinal primer. What truly overwhelmed them was Shang Rongchu’s Joyful Cultivation Technique, Soft Jade Warm Fragrance.

They inhaled the fragrance on Shang Rongchu’s body, developed deep attachment to him, and were gradually losing their combat power.

This technique was so fierce that even Feng Daiku felt his consciousness blur. When his mind cleared a bit, Feng Daiku looked at the newcomer: “Brother Shang, it’s been many years.”

Shang Rongchu smiled nonchalantly: “Junior Sister Feng, all these years, I have never forgotten you.”

“Brother, are these words sincere?” Feng Daiku’s tears welled up in his eyes.

“Dear sister, you ask this question and make your brother’s heart cold,” Shang Rongchu moved a step closer to Feng Daiku, speaking softly, “In all these years, have I ever said a sincere word to you?”

Feng Daiku’s face was full of sorrow, crying, “It’s my own wishful thinking, brother indeed has never spoken the truth.”

With that, Feng Daiku tugged the love silk, intending to slice Shang Rongchu’s throat.

Shang Rongchu dodged the love silk, his nails lightly brushing through Feng Daiku’s hair.

Feng Daiku was startled; Shang Rongchu moved too fast, leaving her no time to evade.

She thought Shang Rongchu was about to strike hard, at least peel a layer of skin off her, but to her surprise, Feng Daiku was unharmed, merely a surge of hatred rose in her heart.

Oh no!

This strike hit Feng Daiku’s weak spot.

Joyful Cultivation Technique, Love Turns to Hate.

Feng Daiku fell for this technique, her heart full of anger towards Shang Rongchu, unable to feel any affection anymore.

Once unable to feel affection, a vast array of Emotion Cultivation Techniques couldn’t be used.

Without the Emotion Cultivation Techniques, how could one continue to fight?

Feng Daiku’s eyes turned red with tears, initially using Emotion Cultivation Technique to appear pitiful, hoping to evoke Shang Rongchu’s softness, then intertwining emotional threads to tangle with him.

Feng Daiku thought of dragging through the Love Turns to Hate technique, but Shang Rongchu didn’t give her this chance.

He spread his hands, fingers trembling, ten fingers gently stroking around Feng Daiku.

Feng Daiku tried to manipulate love silk to force Shang Rongchu back, only to find all the love silk around her was broken.

Joyful Cultivation Star Technique, Heartless After the Act!

This was a technique Shang Rongchu specially devised against Emotion Cultivators.

Heartless After the Act fits well with Joyful Cultivation’s nature, cutting off all emotional roots in one blow, leaving Feng Daiku’s tactics without a pivot, driven to desperation by Shang Rongchu in an instant.

Shang Rongchu approached Feng Daiku again, lifting her chin, prepared to use a fatal move.

Ma Wu lunged forward, rubbing against Shang Rongchu’s arm.

Shang Rongchu felt as if a layer of skin was peeled from his arm, causing intense pain, yet it was oddly pleasurable.

He didn’t rush to retaliate, as this was a Joyful Cultivation Technique, Powder and Rouge, plain and simple — using Joyful Cultivation techniques on the skin.

Shang Rongchu was indeed wounded by this strike; under the effect of the Joyful Cultivation Technique, not only was his hand injured, but his blood pressure also rose due to the technique, causing unstoppable bleeding.

This was humiliating for Shang Rongchu; if it weren’t for his focus on Feng Daiku, Ma Wu, a cultivator at Earth Layer Seven, wouldn’t have been able to harm him.

Yet Shang Rongchu didn’t seek revenge on Ma Wu; he continued to pursue Feng Daiku.

Feng Daiku’s love silk was all severed, so could Shang Rongchu not spare the hand to deal with Ma Wu?

He could spare, but he wasn’t willing to do so. The reason was simple: this was Ma Wu’s territory, and Ma Wu was the Local Deity here.

Shang Rongchu’s cultivation was already past the Cloud Top, killing Ma Wu in his territory would be like hanging a name over there with the Peddler.

He Jiaqing’s cultivation was also Above the Cloud, wasn’t he worried about breaking the Peddler’s rules?

Of course he worried, he didn’t want to kill Ma Wu either, just being forced to this point by Mr. Kong Fang.

He Jiaqing facing a group of land patchers naturally held the upper hand, and Ma Wu, injured, seemed unable to resist anymore.

Shang Rongchu pressed on step by step, finding an opportunity to softly breathe into Feng Daiku’s ear.

Feng Daiku’s ear tingled with numbness, and suddenly she caught fire.

Joyful Cultivation Technique, Heart Fire Burning Body.

Smoke began to rise from Feng Daiku’s ear, followed by her eyes, then her mouth and nose, and finally her whole body was engulfed in flames.

This was among the most vicious types of Joyful Cultivation Techniques. Normal flames burn from the skin’s surface, while the flame unleashed by this technique ignites the opponent’s heart fire, burning from the inside out.
