Once the four settled into their seats, Lei Bao cast a dirty look at War Tiger—a cold gleaming look that carried much resentment and grudge. Apparently, he was still embittered over what happened just now.
War Tiger did nothing to avert his gaze, although he could not help feeling bothered and discouraged. With the anomalies occurring everywhere and the rise of warriors during these times of chaos, strength and power represented everything. With the scarcity of talents within Purple Phoenix, they have little authority to speak. Even it’s hard for the state to help them.
Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Winsome Widow smiled demurely and said, "You summoned us here, Chief Yan. Is there anything important you wish to discuss?"
Yan Chong got to his feet. Nodding to everyone, he said, "Almost six months have passed since Lord Gao's demise, and we of the Fire Dragon Palace have endured like a headless snake. Dissolution is upon us, my friends, and thi
Lei Bao turned displeased, angered by Yan Chong's assertive gesture and he bellowed,"So you wish to keep me here, Yan Chong?"With his Sacred Relic, Eight Trigrams Bronze Mirror, Yan Chong revealed his perfidious side. There was no need to fear, not when he had his Sacred Relic with him."You need to understand, Brother Lei. A kingdom does not suffer the absence of a king, and the same could be said for our faction. Nothing is more important than the future of the Fire Dragon Palace."Lei Bao snorted at the sophistry and snarled angrily, "Very well, Yan Chong. You wish to become Lord of the Palace, ain't that right? I'll also be frank then. I DISAGREE!"That wiped the smile off Yan Chong's face that he looked threateningly dangerous. "It is true, Brother Lei," he hissed, "I do wish to be lord. But this is the inevitable fact. Ask yourself, who among us is the most qualified?""That's only because you have
Everything happened so quickly that it caught everyone by surprise.The first sensation that jerked them back to the present was the gelidity of the cold sweat that slicked their limbs.The end of the long silver spear sparkled an icy glow under the brisk sunlight, and its tip is driven deep into the rock face a hundred meters away.There was Song Ding, a First-Grade Human King, with his corpse now ignominiously pinned to the wall of rock like a rag doll.Every head spun in unison. Their senses tingled simultaneously, alerting them to the presence of a stranger.And they saw a youthful figure approaching casually.War Tiger's eyes shot wide with recognition and surprise when he saw who it was."Sir!""It's been a long time." Chu Xun looked at him and nodded acknowledgingly.He flicked his finger and sent a spurt of Immortal Qi into War Tiger."Th-Thank yo
"The Soul-devoured Contract."Chu Xun revealed candidly and he disclosed the details about the enchantment.Dismal despair flooded Yan Chong's and Zuo Ziqiu's eyes as if they had just witnessed their own deaths.Winsome Widow and Lei Bao grimaced quietly. Would Chu Xun have done the same to them if they had shown just a bit of hesitation in pledging to him their loyalties?Still... Was the Pact of Bloodlust really was so powerful and terrifying as Chu Xun described?Even Yan Chong and Zuo Ziqiu were banking on the hope that Chu Xun was only lying to them.Until Chu Xun decided to demonstrate the terrors of the Soul-devoured ContractThe pair of Human Kings winced and recoiled on the ground like a pair of dogs writhing in pain, their dignity all but forgotten. Their eyeballs distended as if bursting from their sockets, and their faces contorted hideous at the pain that was so great as shown fro
Chu Xun looked hardly surprised with a wry grin on his face.Yan Chong, however, was left stunned. He stared incredulous at Lei Bao and Winsome Widow, wondering what happened.Then his face took a turn and a vulgar grin broke on his face when he peered at Lei Bao. He knew that the latter had always harbored feelings towards Winsome Widow. Was he trying to force himself upon her and failed in doing so?Winsome Widow's chest rose and fell as she breathed deeply, and the sight of her unkempt and mussed-up hair, the sweet-scented sweat that slicked her back, and her flushed-red cheeks could make any man forget his manners."Lei," Yan Chong growled depravedly, raising a thumbs-up.That surprised Lei Bao, who, at first, failed to understand him. It took only a beat, and after seeing the obscene grin on his face, Lei Bao finally caught the gist and grew so angry he nearly lost control."You should mind your manne
Lei Bao went around rampaging savagely with his lightning-based magic as if he was a lightning storm himself, moving towards a bunch of giant mountain rats right after dispatching the pack of hyenas.These mutated rodents looked horrifyingly large, being at least one meter long, and their long incisor teeth, sharper than even the keenest blade, gnashed against each other, ready to grind and chew on human bones. Scores of warriors had fallen with their limbs being bitten off or maimed while fighting them.A ball lightning hurled by Lei Bao landed right in the middle of the mischief of rats and exploded, kicking up more torn flesh and blood.Heartened by Lei Bao's strength, the routed warriors gradually recovered from their panic and regrouped for a counterattack.Aside from a few with remarkably terrifying powers and viciousness, most of the other mutated wild beasts were only as strong as warriors of the Acquired Realm.
After the land condition in Longcheng City changed, there were mountains, dense forests, and fierce beasts everywhere outside the city.In recent days, Longcheng City was bustling with people. A large number of warriors swarmed into the city, and the hotels were full of people.Chu Xun and his companions searched several inns but failed to find a room to rest."It looks like we'll have to sleep on the streets tonight," Chu Xun said with a bitter smile.After thinking about it carefully, he realized that he had lived a comfortable life since he returned to the earth. When he was in the other world, it was common for him to eat and sleep in the wild."Master, there's a hotel ahead. Please take a rest here, and I'll go to the hotel to check if there are empty rooms," Yan Chong said.Chu Xun replied, "Let's go together."Aegean Hotel was one of the best hotels in Longcheng City.The g
Chai Yuan's chilling words echoed in the air, and Wu Ming's face turned grim. He cursed inwardly, "Idiot! The consequence will be really serious if you irritate Chu Xun."People around all looked at Chu Xun to see how he would react.Chu the Devil was decisive and cruel, while the Tianlong Fort was a famous, powerful force in the Martial Tao World. It was said that the cultivation of the sect master, Long Feiyang, was unfathomable."To strengthen the Fire Dragon Palace, let's start with the Tianlong Fort," Chu Xun said faintly.Others all looked puzzled and didn't understand what Chu Xun meant, except Yan Chong and his companions. They knew that Chu Xun was targeting at the treasure house of the Tianlong Fort."Chu Xun, you will regret it." Another Human King of the Tianlong Fort stared at Chu Xun with cold eyes and continued, "No matter what kind of a devil or a cruel man you are, you're a good-for-nothing in front of
Chu Xun told Wu Ming to go back to the Tianlong Fort as a spy and report their movements to him. Since the team they sent to Longcheng City to seize the fortune had been wiped out, they wouldn't let the matter down.In addition, Chu Xun told Wu Ming to find out the location of the treasure house of the Tianlong Fort as soon as possible.When Chu Xun returned to the door of the hotel, the fight had been over.Jiu You broke Chai Yuan's legs and all his bones. Thus, Chai Yuan was dying.Wen Zhong was beaten down by Lei Bao. He got burned all over, lying on the ground and twitching.As for those half Human Kings, they were disabled by Winsome Widow and Yan Chong, who was in a rage.Seeing that Chu Xun came back alone, the people around all guessed that he failed to catch up with Wu Ming."Master, how about them?"Lei Bao asked respectfully.Only the few of them knew that
