On The Path Of Cultivation To Become God

A shiver traveled down Emilia's spine, feeling a wave of discomfort wash over her from his gaze.

She clenched her fists, disliking the way Shadow 4 was looking at her.

He didn't bother concealing his gaze, for it made no difference; his intentions were evident and malevolent.

"Tssk!" Emilia let out a frustrated sound, her discomfort growing with each passing moment.

Shadow 4, with his imposing stature and intimidating demeanor, kept leering at Emilia, his eyes filled with an unsettling desire.

He approached her slowly, a sly grin forming on his lips.

Aria's heart raced as she watched the imposing man draw nearer to Emilia.

'What can I do?' She felt helpless and unsure of how to shield Emilia from his advances.

Panic overwhelmed her, and she frantically sought a way to step in and help.

Aria's mind raced, desperately considering potential distractions or ways to divert attention from the perilous situation.

She couldn't bear the thought of leaving Emilia to face this danger alone.

With her eyes shut, Aria took a deep breath, mustering all her courage to act.

Just as the man stood before Emilia,

Aria's resolute gaze took over.

She swiftly got out of the car and positioned herself between Emilia and the man, forming a protective barrier.

Her heart pounded in her chest as she faced the potential threat head-on.

"St-Stay Away!"

Aria's voice trembled, yet she spoke with unyielding determination, firmly commanding the man to step back and leave them be.

She silently prayed for Emilia's safety, hoping she would remain protected behind her.

"Aria!!" Leng Zhiqing cried out from behind her, her voice filled with concern and fear upon witnessing her sister step forward to shield Emilia.

"Oh, look what we've got here?" The man spoke in a menacingly low tone, a wicked smile spreading across his face.

He advanced a step closer, and his eyes emitted a disturbing blend of amusement and malice.

Aria could feel the intensity of his gaze, sending shivers down her spine.

"You've got some nerve, talking to me that way," he sneered, his voice now tinged with madness.

"Hehehe, but I don't mind having some fun with you before dealing with her."

Aria's heart raced, but she refused to display any sign of fear.

She knew that standing her ground was crucial to protecting Emilia.

With her back straight and her voice steadier than before, she retorted,

"Y-You should stay away from us," Aria stammered, attempting to gather as much courage as she could in front of the intimidating man.

"M-My mother will never let you get away with this," she continued, her voice shaky but determined.

"Pfttt!" The man's laughter reverberated throughout the area, causing chills to run down Aria's spine.

She could see the madness in his eyes as he took a step closer, his presence becoming even more menacing.

"Little miss, do you think I care!" he sneered, his voice oozing with contempt.

Aria's heart raced inside her chest, but she refused to reveal her fear.

She understood that she had to remain resilient, not just for her own sake but also for the other girls.

"Y-You should care," she retorted, trying to steady her voice. "If you harm us, my mother won't stop until she finds you and brings you to justice."

"Hehehe~ Your mother won't be able to do anything. By the time she figures out what happened, it'll be too late."

Aria's mind raced, desperately trying to think of a way out of this situation.

The man's wicked grin grew even wider as he extended his hand to seize Aria's arm, causing her to flinch from his powerful grip.

However, before he could proceed with any further actions or words, a commanding voice thundered from behind him.

"That's enough!"

Startled, the man turned around to see a tall, imposing figure standing there. It was Shadow 1, the leader of this team.

"Let her go.

You're aware that we mustn't harm her; our task is to abduct her without inflicting any injuries," the leader commanded with authority.

The man hesitated briefly.

However, the leader's gaze intensified, and his expression turned menacing.

"I hope you understand the gravity of our mission," he continued, his voice sending a chill down the man's spine.

"We have specific instructions, and failure is not an option."

The man swallowed hard, feeling the weight of responsibility and the fear of what consequences might arise if they didn't follow through.

"I... I understand," he stammered, trying to regain his composure.

The leader narrowed his eyes, making sure his point was clear.

"Good. Remember, she must remain unharmed if we want to get our money"

"Tskk, you're lucky!"  Shadow 4 grumbled under his breath but complied; he was really pissed that he couldn't have his fun with Aria.

'Sigh...' Aria let out a sigh of relief, grateful for being rescued.

However, her sense of relief was short-lived as the leader's following words shattered her peace.

"As for the two women next to her, shadow 4, you are free to handle them as you wish." Aria's heart sank upon realizing that Emilia and her sister were now in danger and not safe.

"Hehehe, that's better," Shadow 4 sneered with a malevolent grin, sending chills down Aria's spine.

The atmosphere turned sinister as he spoke, relishing the fear and despair that began to envelop the place.

Shadow 4 slowly shifted to the side of Aria, his towering form casting a daunting shadow over her.

Aria's expression turned grim as she sensed the situation turning bad.

She attempted to stand her ground, yet her fearful eyes betrayed her unease.

Meanwhile, Emilia stood quietly behind Aria with an indifferent expression on her face.

In her mind, there was only one thought.

"How should I slap him?" Emilia pondered quietly, contemplating how to handle the situation.

"If I put too much force I could kill him by accident"

The thought of harming him crossed her mind, but she was aware that her newfound strength could potentially lead to a tragic outcome, even accidental death.

With her enhanced strength, she could easily devastate his face or even obliterate him entirely.

That why she didn't act immediately, she didn't want to kill anyone by accident.

And she was right in doing so, as she wasn't in a cultivation world where killing was as easy as breathing.

On modern Earth, taking a life has significant legal, moral, and psychological consequences.

Her hesitation to act immediately was a reflection of her deep sense of responsibility and understanding of the gravity of such actions.

In the cultivation world, life and death were often treated with a different perspective.

Cultivators had to face numerous life-threatening situations, and their survival often depended on their ability to defend themselves or eliminate potential threats.

However, on modern Earth, the rules were completely different, and violence was not considered the norm.

Well, at least not in all places.

She knew that if she acted rashly and took someone's life, it could have severe repercussions on her own life and the one around her.

Legal authorities would be involved, investigations would be conducted, and many other bothering thing.

However, everything took a drastic turn in this very moment.

As she witnessed the guy's lustful gaze fixed on her and Aria, the fear evident in Leng Zhiqing's eyes, everything around me seemed to shift.

At that moment, she knew that she couldn't just stand idly by and watch as Aria got hurt.

"Whatever! I'll do as I please, and my husband can handle the aftermath," Emilia thought, as she decided to unleash all the troubles she intended to cause onto Chen Tian.

"St-Stop," Aria pleaded, attempting to halt shadow 4 from advancing towards Emilia.

Suddenly, a hand firmly gripped Aria's shoulder, causing her to startle momentarily.

"Aria, move out of the way," Emilia commanded in a cold tone.

"But..." Aria attempted to speak, but Emilia quickly stepped forward, blocking her path.

"Hah, so the little girl has something to say," sneered Shadow 4, his tone dripping with mocking contempt.

He loomed over Emilia, attempting to intimidate her with his imposing stance.

Ignoring the mocking tone, Emilia looked at Shadow 4 face without any emotion showing on her face.

"I warned you now it's not my problem" Aria murmured calmly.

"Hehe~" Hearing her words shadow 4 couldn't help but laugh.

"And what were you going to do little miss"

"Oh! You will know after this..."

Emilia's hand tightened into a fist as she slowly drew it back, her purpose evident.

She was determined to deliver a direct punch to the big, hefty man's gut.

Observing the girl's foolish decision, the man couldn't help but smirk.

He didn't even bother to defend himself; instead, he mockingly opened his arms wide.

Not only him, but all of his team members also had smiles on their faces, noticing Emilia's clear intentions.

The leader couldn't help but smirk inwardly, thinking, 'Does she believe she's in an anime?'

The contrast in size between the overweight guy and this petite girl was like comparing the earth and the heavens.

The girl was standing at about 170 cm tall, and beside her was a significantly larger man, approximately 200 cm in height.

The man's hand was even bigger than the girl's head, what is she even thinking of doing.

The leader had numerous thoughts racing through his mind.

Suddenly, something swift darted past him.

"Hm?" The leader turned around, puzzled.

"What was that?"

He glanced behind, only to widen his eyes in astonishment.

"What?!"
