As soon as the girl's words fell, the others in midair quickly drew their swords and surrounded Evan Chu, each blade flashing with dazzling sword light.
Standing inside the formation, Evan Chu felt a powerful sense of authority emanating from these girls. Although their individual strength wasn't high, the sword array they formed instantly produced this kind of overwhelming presence.
Immediately, the girls attacked Evan Chu; countless sword shadows, carrying boundless sword qi, surged toward him in an instant.
Evan Chu remained calm in the face of danger. If he wanted to build a good relationship with Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, he couldn't afford to injure these girls. So, he swiftly swung the Frostbane Sword, unleashing a Tempest Shroud attack at them.
But this move wasn't particularly powerful—he actually used only half his Chaos Force. If he went all out, even with the girls' sword array being impressive, he could easily break it and risk seriously injuring them.
If things reached that point, he'd probably have no choice but to escape, and all his plans would go up in smoke.
Evan Chu's sword struck with just the right amount of force—enough to dissolve the girls' attacks without harming them. Seizing the moment, he quickly dashed to the side, deliberately making himself look battered and desperate, as if he'd given it his all.
Seeing Evan Chu actually escape from their sword array, the crowd was stunned—this guy really wasn't simple. The lead girl immediately shouted, "Everyone be careful, this guy isn't ordinary! Lin, go notify the guardian elders! We'll keep him trapped here."
A girl instantly flew toward the pavilion's main building—clearly going to call for reinforcements. Evan Chu found this secretly amusing; finally, someone worth talking to was about to arrive.
Evan Chu made a show of fleeing in the direction the girl had gone. If he stayed here any longer, he really couldn't keep up the act; if he didn't fight back, he'd look weak, but if he did, he'd risk injuring these people and making things impossible to explain.
"Kid, don't run!" Seeing Evan Chu fly off, the lead girl immediately shouted, and the rest of the girls quickly followed after him.
Evan Chu didn't move very fast, keeping just ahead of the girls chasing him—never letting them catch up, but also not pulling too far ahead.
It wasn't long before Evan Chu saw three more people approaching quickly in the distance. Judging by their speed, these were clearly stronger members of Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion.
Evan Chu landed directly on the ground—this was already the outer edge of Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion's territory. Every sect places its teleportation gate far from the main compound, so if enemies arrive by teleportation, the sect has time to prepare or escape.
Evan Chu put the Frostbane Sword into his storage ring and quietly waited for the Pavilion's guardians and elders to arrive. If these women kept acting unreasonable, he might just stir up trouble in Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion before leaving.
Soon, everyone arrived, landing about ten meters from Evan Chu. Among them, a woman in her thirties glanced at Evan and said, "This is the expert you mentioned? You needed us for a mere brat? How do you even train the Heavenly Fragrance Array—can't you handle someone like this? Truly disappointing."
Her words left the girls speechless. From her tone, it was clear she was extremely arrogant—she must hold a high position in Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion to speak this way.
"Kid, how dare you trespass into Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion? Don't you know our rules? Men are forbidden to enter—any violator will be killed without mercy! You've got guts!" the woman said.
"I was accidentally transmitted here. I meant to leave right away, but your disciples blocked me. Is this really how Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion treats its guests?" Evan Chu replied calmly, showing no panic at all and not caring about her threats.
The woman studied Evan Chu and then sneered, "You dare act arrogant in front of me? Looks like you need to be taught a lesson."
With a wave of her hand, the woman sent an invisible blast of Stellar Power straight at Evan Chu. He didn't care at all—this woman was incredibly annoying, and he wanted to teach her a lesson and embarrass her in front of everyone.
Evan Chu immediately unleashed the sixth form of the Demon-Breaking Fist Manual, his powerful fist force meeting her attack head-on.
Boom! A deafening crash rang out. The guardian was blasted backward dozens of steps before she finally stopped, her face pale—clearly suffering internal injuries from Evan Chu's strike.
Evan Chu stood motionless, staring at her. Since there was no way to make friends, he'd just have to make enemies—he was already prepared for the worst.
Seeing the guardian suffer such a setback, Evan Chu was secretly delighted. The others were all shocked—they hadn't expected this youth to blast a guardian back dozens of steps with a single punch. His attack power was clearly extraordinary.
The woman hadn't used her full power, but she had still put in eighty percent of her strength. She hadn't expected this youth to handle it so easily—it was truly unexpected.
Glaring at Evan Chu, the woman said angrily, "So you do have some skill. But before my Sixth-Layer Divine Martial Realm power, you're nothing. That was just a casual attack, and you dare to strike back so viciously? Ruthless people like you can't be allowed to live."
As soon as she finished, a long sword appeared in her hand—she clearly intended to kill Evan Chu for real this time.
"Don't boast in front of me. If Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion is this unreasonable, why should I show you any courtesy? Don't force me to kill—if I start, the place will run red with blood," Evan Chu said coolly.
"Let's see you make Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion run red with blood! Today, you're dead!" the woman shouted, her longsword flashing with a red sword light as she slashed at Evan Chu.
Seeing the red glow on her sword, Evan Chu smiled faintly—she was actually using fire element against him. If she didn't get a lesson, she'd think he was easy to bully.
Immediately, Evan Chu's Chaos Force surged within him. He unleashed the seventh form of the Demon-Breaking Fist Manual, a powerful attack gathering at his fist and striking at the woman with lightning speed.
This punch used ninety percent of Evan Chu's power—the woman's strength was not to be underestimated. Fist force collided with sword light, and a violent energy storm instantly erupted between them, spreading rapidly in all directions...
