"Fuck." Mira muttered under her breath. A deep frown formed on her face and she wanted to walk away, but it was too late for that as the middle-aged man walking with the Sect Master wasn't that far away from her. Mira could feel that this man is in the Core Formation Realm and started thinking of how she can kill him. With her just entering the Foundation Realm around 6 months ago, the likelihood of her killing anyone on the Core Formation Realm is pretty much zero. The most she'd be able to do is exhaust all of her energy to injure him.
The man on the other hand stood there stunned silly when he noticed Mira's beauty. This soon turned into a creepy smile that only lasted for a second, but Mira was able to catch this, and the rage bubbling up inside her only increased. She could tell that this wouldn't have good intentions as soon as he saw her.
"Mira, why'd you sto-OH!" Maria turned around noticing that Mira stopped walking. Then she felt that the atmosphere around Mira became extremely heavy and noticed a middle-aged man starting to walk in their direction. She then started to panic and her thoughts started racing on how she should stop this man from doing anything weird to Mira. But Maria also caught a glimpse of the creepy expression this guy was making towards Mira. Her instincts were screaming to her saying this man was no good!
The Sect Master also noticed that the Elder she was walking with stopped and started to walk in another direction. She was a little annoyed, but it wasn't the biggest deal in the world and she initially didn't plan on stopping him. She looked over to see what he was walking towards and noticed Mira and Maria. She was about to just start following him but noticed something wrong. An icy mist was coming out of Mira along with a red haze like she was oozing hatred. She started to remember the incident at the tournament and realized things weren't as simple as they seemed.
"Elder Bates, let me continue taking you to my office so we can discuss the matters you came here for. Let's not disturb the disciples." The Sect Master attempted to coax him away.
"That won't do Sect Master Jane. You never said that you had such a beautiful disciple! How can I just ignore her? I'm just going to say hello real quick. Haha!" Elder Bates licked his lips as he bellowed.
The Sect Master immediately frowned at his words and started walking towards him to force him away, but he was already standing in front of Mira.
"Hello, beauty. I believe this is our first time meeting each other. I've never seen such otherworldly beauty before. May I have your name?" Elder Bates said while looking down at Mira.
Mira's eyes flashed and she just stared back at him as if she's drilling a hole through his eyes.
"Remove that filthy gaze of yours, wretch." Mira lifted a brow and said coldly with a hint of killing intent leaking out.
Elder Bates was stunned for a minute as he never expected this beauty to be so cold and vulgar. The way she said that seemed more like a command like she was his superior.
"Hahaha! A feisty one! Even better! And what will you do if I don't?" Elder Bates laughed as he looked at Mira with even more interest.
"Hehe. What will I do? I'll do the same thing to you that I've done to the millions before you." Mira smirked at such a ridiculous question and things soon turned eerily silent.
"Oh? How interesting! Haha! And what might that be, beautiful?" He asked as he went to stroke Mira's hair, but Mira easily dodged.
Mira just evilly grinned at his question
"NOOO! MIRA!" Maria yelled, but it was too late.
…
*OHHM*
A great pressure descended onto the Battle Maiden Sect! All of the disciples immediately fell to their knees and started choking while all of the Elders were also forced onto a knee. Even they found it difficult to move under such insane pressure. They also found it hard to breathe and were reminded of the Entrance Exam Tournament except for this time was much worse. They could feel the rage within the killing intent as it started to suffocate them.
Maria was also forced onto the ground finding it difficult to breathe as the mountainous pressure didn't allow her to get up. She looked up at Mira and saw a completely different person. The usually cold and indifferent Mira now had a sick smile on her face that looked like the smile of a bloodthirsty Demon Queen.
Elder Bates was caught by surprise and was unable to prepare. He was the one who took the brunt of the killing intent and was forced onto his knees as he struggled to breathe. But the red haze coming from Mira started to enter his throat to keep him from breathing.
Mira then slowly walked up to him and grabbed his throat. She then lifted him up to eye level.
"I hate it when people don't listen to me and to think you even dared to try and touch me. Truly a disgusting pig. Now, tell me how you should pay for your transgressions. Should I take your eyes from you or maybe something more important?" Mira took out her scythe and pointed it at his eyes and his crotch.
Elder Bates started to panic and struggled to get out of Mira's grasp. But the pressure exerted onto him was too much and he started to suffocate.
"Haha! You're right! Why don't I just take both!?" Mira laughed evilly as she got her scythe ready to dig out his eyes. The Elder couldn't take it anymore and started frothing at the mouth and fainted.
"Mira! Please put him down! We can't afford to do something like that to him or we may have to go to war with their Sect or even their whole city! Even though I don't like the way he acted towards you, I don't think he deserves this kind of treatment!" The Sect Master yelled and slowly walked towards Mira.
"You're right, Jane. He doesn't deserve this kind of treatment. He deserves… Death!" Mira said as she dropped the man on the ground and put his head against the blade. She was about to start sawing off his head when the Sect Master interrupted her again.
"Wait! Don't! How about this? I'll give you a Mid-Stage and Peak-Stage Rank 4 Energy Gathering Pill in exchange for his life. I'll even make sure that he forgets what happened here today. Deal? We can't afford to kill him." The Sect Master made a quick deal before Mira started sawing off his head. Mira thought about it for a few seconds and agreed to these terms. If the Sect Master could make sure that this man would forget about their meeting then she could always kill him when she gets stronger. Mira stored her scythe and threw the man towards the Sect Master. She then stopped releasing her killing intent and it all sucked back inside of Mira. Mira then sealed it up and started feeling lightheaded and dizzy.
'It's still hard to keep this up for very long.' Mira sighed and soon went back to her cold and aloof attitude.
"We'll talk about this later. For now, let me go make sure this guy doesn't remember what happened or at the very least thinks it was a dream. You should put on a mask or something in the meantime." The Sect Master said in a stern voice as she took Elder Bates away.
"Cough cough… Mira! Don't do that with me so close to you! I can't handle that amount of pressure yet!" Maria soon started yelling at Mira when she was finally able to breathe again. The whole thing barely lasted 30 seconds and Maria was also prepared for it so she was able to stay conscious and watch the whole time.
"Oh, you're still alive huh? Well, as soon as I learn how to control it so I don't get so dizzy afterward, then you'll be facing it much more often." Mira said as she glanced at Maria.
"Of course I'm still alive! Don't say it like you were expecting me to die! AH! Forget about that! What are you going to do now?" Maria pouted.
"I'll be doing what I've been doing, trying to get stronger. Don't worry, that guy won't be able to live much longer." Mira briefly explained.
"That's… not what I was worried about! Anyways, were you really about to kill him?"
"I really wanted to kill him, but the likelihood of me doing so is zero. He's an entire Realm above me and his body is incomparably stronger than mine. Me trying to kill him is like me trying to break a rock with an egg. Even if I sat there and tried to saw his head off, it'd still require time that I don't think I had. The Sect Master would've stopped me from doing so. That's why when she offered that deal, I immediately took it. I'll come for that man as soon as I get strong enough. It'll be even easier without him knowing too." Mira explained.
There was truly no way for her to kill that man. Even if she used all of her Qi for an Earth-Shattering Fist the most it would do is fracture a bone and if he was stronger than what Mira thought, then it'd only bruise him a little. And trying to control that much killing intent is extremely exhausting. If Mira was a Late or Peak-Stage Houtian, then killing him wouldn't be impossible but it'd still require every ounce of her energy. With her strength, Low-Stage Xiantian would've been able to kill him. But that level of strength is still a few years away.
"I see. Well, that man was pretty disgusting. I wish I could've prevented him from seeing you. Maybe things wouldn't have turned out like this." Maria said while being a little dejected. This was her first time witnessing someone acting like that towards Mira and she didn't know how to feel. All she knew was that the look in that man's eyes was truly vile. She felt that if nobody was around then that man would've kidnapped Mira to have his way with her. She shivered at the thought of something like that happening to Mira.
Even though Mira was surprised by today's events, this isn't the first time something like this has happened and it won't be the last. She only felt that things were a little too coincidental. Her intuition was telling her that Elder Bates didn't have a reason for being here other than for her. Why would an Elder of another Sect come here over a year before the Inter-Sect Tournament? Why not the Sect Master? What would they even talk about? Aren't we supposed to be something like rivals or at least competitors? Something was definitely strange about what happened today.
