Chapter 803: Attack and Kill
With a loud boom, the nine subordinates of Chen Xiu took a step forward. Before doing so, they were all ordinary flux experts without any majesty. But after taking that step, a formidable pressure burst forth from each one of their bodies, which was only slightly weaker than that of Ming Xiu.
“Half G.o.d?!”
Ming Xiu sensed the presence emitted by the nine people and looked at them in shock.
It was not just one half G.o.d either, but nine! The divine might coming from Ming Xiu’s body instantly weakened in front of them. He had never expected that a branch family descendant could find nine great circle sage flux experts as subordinates, let alone something better. It should be known that powerhouses with the strength of half G.o.d did not act as hired thugs for money.
Every powerhouse had its pride.
But even Ming Xiu, the young master of Morrow Clan and the future chief, was only allowed to bring out a treasure from the clan, and that also because it was a critical time. In usual cases, such a treasure would not be given to him and would remain under the guard of the elder, let alone the command of a half G.o.d powerhouse that belonged to the clan.
Regardless of whether it was the direct descendant or branch family descendants, the half G.o.d powerhouses of the clan would not listen to any of them. They would only hear the commands of the clan chief.
Even if outsider half G.o.ds were weaker than the half G.o.ds of the four great clans, when all was said and done, they were still half G.o.ds. When faced with nine half G.o.ds, even normal G.o.ds might not be able to battle them, let alone Ming Xiu who had raised his cultivation temporarily using a treasure.
Ming Xiu’s expression returned to normal, and his gaze focused on Chen Xiu.
“You really are amazing,” he said with malice in his voice. “No wonder you had the confidence to come and fight for the soul of Ancient G.o.d Lakshmi. The other descendants of branch family, even if they had the dry heaven mirror, they were still focused on ma.s.sacring the many mortals of this land.”
“You flatter me. Just now, when the four young masters were here, I was still somewhat uncertain. After all, nine half G.o.ds might not be able to deal with four G.o.ds, so I had to abandon that meat pie named Ancient G.o.d Lakshmi.”
Ming Xiu calmly nodded while looking at the nine expressionless half G.o.ds. A moment later, he suddenly said with a smile, “You are really fierce. Since this is the case, then I will leave the Pipa Clan to you.”
After saying that, he waved his hand, indicating for his subordinates to leave.
As soon as he turned the other way, a cold and gloomy expression appeared on his face. Who could have expected that a trifling branch family descendant could bring nine half G.o.ds. Even though he had raised his cultivation to G.o.d realm with the help of the clan treasure, he still wasn’t able to gain any advantage. Hence, his only choice was to try and rob Luo Tian of Ancient G.o.d Lakshmi’s soul.
But nothing was settled in his heart. After returning to clan, not only would he suppress Chen Xiu behind the scenes, he would talk to the elder regarding the matter. According to the rules, they could only bring great flux experts at ninth layer or lower as subordinates, but Chen Xiu had surprisingly dared to bring half G.o.ds as subordinates.
Just breaking this rule was enough for Chen Xiu to be thrown into the prison. And that would happen, since Ming Xiu did not believe that the nine half G.o.ds would follow Chen Xiu back to the clan.
At that time, Ming Xiu could also s.n.a.t.c.h the Pipa Clan back from him.
“Wait a moment, did I say you can go?” Chen Xiu said with a smile while caressing the monster lizard beneath him.
Ming Xiu’s complexion changed, and he turned around to look at the indifferent man that had spoke to him.
“Chen Xiu, don’t try to take a foot after getting an inch. I am the future clan chief!” he hollered in anger.
“Future. Clan. Chief,” Chen Xiu said one word at a time. “That would depend on whether you can return alive. Without being alive, how can you become the clan chief?”
As soon as Ming Xiu heard those words, his eyes went wide. Two rays of golden light shot out toward Chen Xiu before he flew into the sky and rushed toward the jungle.
“Mad, he really is a madman.”
Before Ming Xiu could finish saying that, he felt as if something had fallen on him, and the world around him began to change. The instant he landed on the ground, he raised his head and looked at the headless body falling down from the sky.
The blonde muscular man looked at Ming Xiu whose body and head were separated and who had died with a grievance of not knowing what happened to him until the end.
A pair of black golden eyes came out of Ming Xiu’s sockets and floated in the air.
The blonde muscular man collected them and returned to Pipa Village.
Constant wails echoed from the jungle. A moment earlier, Ming Xiu had sensed killing intent and abandoned his subordinates, escaping alone. The eight people who had followed him were fleeing in all directions at that moment.
But how could they escape? All of them were intercepted by Chen Xiu’s subordinates.
After a short while, they were captured, and Chen Xiu’s subordinates walked forth and stood by the side of the blonde muscular man.
Moments later, another person entered the scene.
Chen Xiu came down from the monster lizard and slowly walked to the blond muscular man before kneeling down in front of him and respectfully saying, “Master, you came.”
The blonde muscular man nodded without any emotion on his robust face. His eyes were fixed upon the shocked Liu Bailing, and he slowly walked toward her.
The blonde muscular man terrified Liu Bailing. After seeing his attack a moment ago, she was certain that his strength was definitely not at the ninth layer of great flux expert realm.
Perhaps he was also a G.o.d.
When the nine subordinates emitted the pressure of half G.o.ds, Liu Bailing had already given up in her heart. With each and every one of them being so formidable, how could the Pipa Clan escape alive?
After seeing the nine subordinates fuse with the blonde muscular man, Liu Bailing became sure that he was a G.o.d.
But what she did not understand was why he was acting as the subordinate of Morrow Clan’s branch family’s descendant when he was a G.o.d? What exactly did he want?
Liu Bailing was in a daze while countless suspicions took shape in her mind. She was so distracted by them that she did not even notice when he squatted down in front of her, bringing his face close to hers.
“Little girl, give me the jade pipa!” Li Yunmu slowly said while looking at the girl.
Liu Bailing’s attention snapped back to reality. When she looked at the enormous face so close to her, she suddenly felt a hot breathe brush past her, causing her little face to turn completely red.
What was going on here ?
“En? Don’t even think about that! This jade pipa is the supreme treasure of my Pipa Clan and the inheritance of the holy daughter, so how could I hand it over to you? Even if you want to use force, you won’t have the opportunity. I will destroy myself together with this jade pipa before that can happen.”
Li Yunmu smiled at the red-faced Liu Bailing. “If you want Ancient G.o.d Lakshmi to live, then give me the jade pipa. Otherwise, the ancient G.o.d you believe in will disappear.”
“I-I… Why should I believe you!”
Liu Bailing felt increasingly more fl.u.s.tered by the man’s smile, even clearly sensing the blood flowing through her veins.
The panic made her lose all bearing of a holy daughter and instantly brought back the real her, an ignorant girl of Pipa Clan.
