Xu Wendong effortlessly deflects Master Yuding's powerful attacks, first the Light Dragon and then Palm Thunder, leaving everyone stunned. Despite being at a lower cultivation stage, Xu Wendong's combat prowess is undeniable. Master Yuding, terrified and desperate, attacks with his sword, but Xu Wendong evades his every move and disarms him, leaving him utterly helpless.

Witnessing Xu Wendong effortlessly disarm Master Yuding’s longsword with a mere finger caused Lin Yiren, Zhao Yin, and the two elegant women beside them to stare with astonishment.

The spectacle unfolded before their eyes, shattering their existing perceptions of reality.

Even with the visual evidence of Xu Wendong’s finger-flick, the scene felt as surreal as encountering a phantom.

This was utterly incomprehensible!

Such a technique clearly surpassed the capabilities of any Foundation Establishment Cultivator!

Master Yuding’s countenance was etched with pure terror, realizing the futility of escape. With a sudden shift of his gaze and gritted teeth, he declared, "Your might is undeniably formidable, but my master is none other than Master Wudao!"

"He stands as a Golden Core Peak Expert, merely a single step away from the Nascent Soul transformation, commanding immense influence throughout Qingyuan City. Should you dare to harm me, he will never forgive you and will undoubtedly tear your soul asunder!"

A cold, dismissive laugh escaped Xu Wendong’s lips. "And what of Master Wudao? Even if he were to stand before me now, I would show him no fear."

"Do you presume to shield your wicked transgressions by merely invoking another's renown?"

"Today, I shall excise your cancerous presence from Qingyuan City."

With these words, Xu Wendong’s form blurred, reappearing instantly before Master Yuding.

Before Master Yuding could even begin to process the movement, Xu Wendong delivered a palm strike, swift as lightning and accompanied by a gusting wind, connecting squarely with Master Yuding’s chest.

Master Yuding felt an overwhelming force surge through his body, as if his very organs had been pulverized. He spewed a mouthful of blood, his form hurtling backward like a kite whose string had snapped, crashing heavily onto the ground.

"Are you a demon?" Master Yuding’s voice quivered with absolute panic, his eyes reflecting a terror beyond description.

Despite being a Golden Core Late Stage expert, Xu Wendong’s assault was relentless and overpowering, proving too much for him to withstand.

Xu Wendong offered no respite; he advanced deliberately towards the fallen Master Yuding, each measured step landing like a blow upon Master Yuding’s heart, intensifying his dread.

"Your myriad transgressions have sealed your doom. This is the inevitable consequence," Xu Wendong’s voice resonated, chillingly devoid of emotion, like a final decree from the abyss.

Master Yuding lay prostrate, his breathing shallow, his gaze fixed in a mixture of despair and profound regret.

In the subsequent moment.

He bit down hard on his tongue, unleashing a surge of hidden power, and sprang towards Xu Wendong with the predatory speed of a cheetah.

His movement was blindingly fast, exuding an oppressive, destructive aura.

"Such pathetic desperation, and you dare to flaunt it?" Xu Wendong scoffed, launching a swift kick into Master Yuding’s abdomen.

Crack!

A sharp, resonant snap echoed through the air.

Master Yuding’s body was sent careening uncontrollably, crashing back to the ground, blood erupting from his lips.

What’s more.

His form seemed to deflate like a punctured balloon, his True Qi hemorrhaging from his body, his appearance rapidly desiccating, conveying an aura of utter depletion.

"No!"

"No!"

"How can my Golden Core be fractured?"

"How could your kick shatter my Golden Core?" Master Yuding descended into utter delirium, incapable of comprehending how Xu Wendong's strike could inflict such catastrophic damage upon his Golden Core.

It was common knowledge that the Golden Core, while the pinnacle of a Golden Core Realm Cultivator's power, was also its most vulnerable point. Any damage sustained could result in the complete loss of cultivation and permanent crippling, at best, or instant death, at worst.

"A mere Golden Core is but an ephemeral illusion in my eyes!" Xu Wendong declared, one hand clasped behind his back, radiating an aura of profound mystique with every gesture.

He surveyed the incapacitated Master Yuding with an indifferent gaze. "The reason I allow you to live is not out of any apprehension towards Master Wudao, but merely to convey a message through your broken form."

"Inform him to tread carefully. Should he presume to act with impunity, relying solely on his Golden Core Stage Peak cultivation, I shall not hesitate to eliminate him as well."

At this juncture, an absolute silence descended upon the entire hall, every spectator rendered speechless by the dramatic turn of events.

Zhao Yin’s legs buckled, and he collapsed to the floor, his eyes now holding an expression of profound reverence for Xu Wendong.

The two young women instinctively covered their mouths, their eyes wide with a mixture of shock and profound relief, eternally grateful to be freed from Master Yuding’s oppressive influence.

Lin Yiren’s eyes welled with tears of overwhelming emotion. She moved swiftly to Xu Wendong’s side, embracing him tightly. "Wendong, you did it, you truly accomplished it!"

Xu Wendong offered a gentle smile. "Sister-in-law, let us head home now!"

Lin Yiren nodded with fervent conviction, immediately linking her arm through Xu Wendong’s with affectionate tenderness, and they began to walk away.

The very instant the pair stepped into the courtyard, two exquisite and graceful women, radiating an extraordinary aura, hurried after them, their steps filled with an eager urgency.

Traces of lingering fear were evident on their faces, yet their eyes also held a glimmer of nascent hope.

The woman adorned in a burgundy dress initiated the conversation, her tone tinged with palpable anxiety and deep appreciation: "Thank you, senior, for rescuing us! Such immense kindness and virtue, I shall eternally cherish and never forget."

Xu Wendong appeared serene, gesturing dismissively as he stated with indifference: "It was merely a minor assistance, no thanks are necessary, nor do the two of you need to trouble yourselves over it."

The woman in the qipao short skirt gently bit her lip, contemplating for a moment before gathering her resolve. She then spoke: "While you may deem this a trivial matter, to my sister and myself, it is akin to a second birth, a profound act of kindness."

"Had it not been for your timely and righteous intervention, my sister and I would have undoubtedly fallen into Master Yuding’s grasp tonight, subjected to his whim."

"Therefore," she momentarily paused, then lifted her gaze, looking at Xu Wendong with sincere eagerness: "Senior, my sister and I wish to follow you, irrespective of any conditions. We are prepared to serve with utmost dedication."

"Our only hope is that you will grant us the chance to repay this debt of gratitude, and kindly do not dismiss us as being foolish!"

They presented themselves with utmost humility, a stark contrast to their established reputations as prominent figures in Qingyuan City, revered as goddesses by many.

Upon embarking on the path of cultivation, they came to understand that their beauty could, at times, be perceived as a downfall!

Consequently, they proposed the idea of becoming Xu Wendong's maids, not only to reciprocate his benevolence but, more crucially,

to secure his protection.

Although Xu Wendong's cultivation level was merely at the Late-stage Foundation Establishment, his demonstrated strength allowed him to effortlessly vanquish an expert at the Golden Core Late Stage.

Furthermore, they held no doubt that even if Master Wudao himself were to intervene, he would prove no match for Xu Wendong.

With Xu Wendong acting as their guardian, their days of living in constant fear would cease.

As for the roles of maids and potential companions, these were not perceived as drawbacks by them either!

After all, he possessed both exceptional strength and striking good looks!

Their only remaining curiosity lay in his prowess in that particular regard!
