The Marlowe Brothers, though arrogant and hotheaded, were not fools. They speculated that this commoner girl before them was hiding her true cultivation level and might be some older woman in disguise...because a girl of her age can't be more powerful than them!
They were not named the top geniuses for nothing. And in this empire, only six people stood above them whose identities they knew clearly. They were sure that this girl was not from around here.
Reve subtly took out a talisman behind his back since he was no fool to rush at Valentina and get pummeled like Leva.
Noel put up a brave expression and said, "Khalil, show this girl that we are not people to be trifled with. Leva underestimated her and ended up like that. But I know you can defeat her. If you get rid of this eyesore, I will tell my father to give you a town!"
Noel had a tacit understanding with Reve and was planning to use Khalil as a meatshield to buy them some time till their experts reached here.
Khalil's eyes instantly brightened up at the offer. Gift him a town? That would mean that he could become a lord of an entire town!
Khalil was not coming from a prestigious background like the Marlowe Brothers but from a humble background. Even the noblewoman who accompanied him was like a fairy to him since he had never interacted with such women before.
It was more like he was never qualified to before. And to get his current status was no easy task since he had to lick the boots of countless people while allowing certain people to step over him like carpet.
So, to be given an entire town to his name was like a dream for him since it could elevate his status and power to new heights.
Khalil didn't bother to think too much since he also felt a hit to his ego for fearing this commoner girl. He believed that Leva was caught by surprise because he underestimated this girl too much, just as Noel said.
He felt like he needed to prove himself before these two brothers and the women to show that he was someone worthy enough to be listed in the Soaring Sky rankings.
He had somehow built up some confidence and pride by getting listed in the Soaring Sky rankings. But now, he felt like they were all crumbling away because of this commoner girl.
'Don't be a wimp, Kahlil!' He shouted at himself inwardly.
He immediately took out a grey mace with spikes attached to it and rushed at Valentina while circulating his ethereal energy to the maximum.
Flames burst out from his mace, and if a normal person was standing near him, they would feel their entire body getting scaled from just the heat emanating from the mace.
Since his figure was tall, Valentina appeared shorter to him. So, he easily aimed for her head and swung down his mace with full force!
"Take this, you bitch!"
Valentina scoffed and caught his blazing face with just her palm, thus stopping his charge completely, much to the shock of Khalil.
"Impossible…" Khalil muttered in shock, unable to comprehend what was happening.
Since Khalil was at the seventh level of the Earth Ethereal Realm, Valentina's skin was getting scorched because of her hand having direct contact with the flames that contained Khalili's entire power.
However, her healing factor was kicking in at full-motion, making the damage appear less and thus for her to feel not much pain.
Khalili used his other hand to grip his mace to force down his mace down her head. But still, the mace wouldn't budge from her hand no matter what. It was as if his mace was clamped by an iron palm.
Valentina coldly smiled as she slowly took the mace out of his desperately struggling hands.
The flames on his mace died down the moment it left his hands. His shock only increased when he saw how her scalded hands were healing at a rapid pace. Within just a few seconds, her skin looked normal as before, without a single trace of any burn!
"What are you…" He mumbled but seeing Valentina trying to break his mace into two with her bare hands made him stifle his words.
Valentina's expression winced as she kept on applying her strength on two ends of the mace in order to break it in the middle.
*Kirik~*
The sound of metal being broken resounded as the mace suddenly broke into two, much to the astonishment of others.
Valentina looked at the separated head of the mace in one of her hands and its broken shaft in her other hand.
The manager felt his mind getting fuzzy from having too much shock from what he was seeing.
Even the Marlowe Brothers were no exception. They were sure that Khalil's weapon was of the Earth Ethereal Grade weapon. For one to break a weapon of that grade with just their bare hands meant that they should be at least half step to the Sky Ethereal Realm.
Still, even for them, they wouldn't be able to break such a weapon easily unless its quality was not first-class. They assumed that Khalil bought a low-quality weapon due to his background.
Valentina didn't care about what people were thinking or how shocked they were.
Khalili's eyes widened when he saw Valentina smiling like a demoness before swinging the broken shaft towards his face.
*PLINK!*
Khalil's right cheek got smashed in with the broken iron shaft, shattering his teeth and jaw at the same time.
Blood sprayed out of his mouth like a fountain along with broken teeth, making him look horrendous.
But Valentina didn't stop there. With the other broken shaft attached to the head of the mace, she smashed Khalil's stomach with it, sending him flying towards Marlow Brothers, who were caught by surprise by this flying figure.
It was as if Valentina hit a human ball with a bat, and that ball crashed upon the Marlowe Brothers, bringing them down because of the immense force with which he was sent flying.
The walls were smeared with blood that came out from Khalil's mouth while he was sent flying.
Khalil felt as if his stomach got hit by an iron pillar. His stomach was punctured because of the spikes, making blood ooze out, while his intestines were messed up because of the blunt force.
Blood continued to spray out from his mouth, and soon he got knocked out because of his serious injuries.
Of course, even though bloodlust was coursing through her veins, she made sure that she didn't kill or completely cripple Khalil.
The manager and everyone else couldn't believe how a slim-looking girl like her could exert so much brute power from her slender arms.
The four women subtly tried to escape from behind while Valentina's attention was elsewhere.
All this bloody sight before them made them feel like vomiting. They were pampered young ladies born with a silver spoon in their mouths. They never had to work for anything in their whole lives nor know any hardships due to their family supporting all their needs completely.
But what happened today made them realize that the cultivation world was more gory and bloody than they thought.
Still, how could these four women's pitiful attempts at escaping not get caught by Valentina?
Just when the four women reached the door, a slim figure flashed before them, looking at them with cold eyes.
Valentina pointed to the woman at the front who was the one accompanying Reve and said in a blood-chilling voice, "You...what were you saying before? You wanted to sell me off to the lowliest brothel?"
The woman felt as if her heart fell from its place and waved her hands in panic, "N-No, of course not, young miss." She tried to put up the best smile with her shivering lips and said, "I-It was all just a misunderstanding. I am sure you must have heard wrong."
However, feeling Valentina's aura increasing its pressure on her body slowly, she felt her body going limp.
Valentina clutched her neck like a beast clutching its prey.
"Hnggg...p-please...let me go…hnhhhgg" The woman choked out but was not able to utter any more words due to Valentina's firm grip, making her feel as if her neck was going to be broken like a twig.
The other three women behind her stood frozen on their spot, not daring to move a muscle.
Valentina moved her hand over to the woman's hair, grabbing it, and then smashed her face onto a table.
*CRASH!*
The woman's face got smashed through the wooden table till she hit her face on the cold floor. Her nose broke, and blood began to ooze out from her mouth and nose.
However, because of her low tolerance to pain, she instantly passed out while the other three women felt horrified thinking that Valentina killed her. But only after they sensed life in the unconscious woman were they able to relax a bit.
"Get out of my sight!" Valentina coldly said, making those three muster their remaining strength to shoot out through the door.
The Marlowe Brothers felt as if they lost all face after finally pushing away Khalil. They sniggered at Valentina as they said, "You are now done for, you crazy woman…"
"Who dares to lay hands on our young masters?!" The door got smashed down by three elderly newcomers.
Valentina knitted her brows when she sensed powerful and intimidating auras oozing out from these elderly men who she definitely cannot overpower.
