Chapter 820: City Lord’s Mansion
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“d.a.m.n it.”
The two Ming w.a.n.gs had identical expressions. They slightly frowned and shouted coldly. If they really let Chen Xiu enter the city lord’s mansion, then not only a half G.o.d like him would not dare to attack, but even if the patriarchs of the four clans wanted to take action, they would have to respectfully request the city lord for it. No one would dare to use violence in city lord’s mansion.
Who was Ashbi? He as Ancient G.o.d Asura’s son upon whom Ancient G.o.d Asura doted and who possessed tyrannical strength. He was also half a step into the ancient G.o.d realm.
Even if the patriarchs of the four clans were formidable, they were only at mid stage G.o.d level at most. Only the founding ancestors of the four clans could match the city lord.
There was a saying in Asura City that patriarchs were like flowing water while the city lord was as strong as iron.
That saying was very true. Even since Asura chose to establish his territory and founded the Asura City, he immediately brought Ashbi and the four founders. Afterwards, the four great clans changed patriarchs countless times, but the city lord was still Ashbi.
Not to mention that presently Ancient G.o.d Asura was staying in the city lord’s mansion. Anyone who dared to be rampant in front of the tiger did not want to live anymore.
If Ming w.a.n.g wanted to finish Jiao Xiu’s mission, he had to capture Chen Xiu before he was within a hundred meter distance of the city lord’s mansion. Otherwise, if he crossed the hundred meter distance and entered the territory administered by the city lord, w.a.n.g Ming would not even dare to breathe loudly.
He raised his head and saw that Chen Xiu’s speed declined gradually, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
“Seems like the power your borrowed has been used up.”
Chen Xiu complexion grew pale when he saw that he was still a thousand meters away from the city lord’s mansion. He was still nine hundred meters away from the hundred meter mark. At ordinary times, such a distance would not be considered as anything.
Even if he was a great flux expert, Chen Xiu’s speed was still enough to cover that distance in half a minute. Not to mention that at that moment he was already an initial stage sage flux expert, who had learned master’s insect step and was completely different from before. Right then, he only needed a little more than ten seconds to cross the hundred meter mark and enter the city lord’s territory.
But behind him was Ming w.a.n.g, a half G.o.d expert. He would only need a few seconds to cover the nine hundred meters and take down Chen Xiu in a single breathe’s time.
Two figures appeared next to Chen Xiu and arrogantly said, “Why are you standing here? Continue running.”
Chen Xiu’s eyes returned to normal, and Asura Eyes transformed into a beam of light before falling back into his hands. With a tight grip on them, he took a deep breath, and his legs turned into a blur. His speed then grew faster with each step.
Ming w.a.n.g followed closely behind him. White light flickered in his hand, and he threw it at Chen Xiu. Immediately after, his speed surpa.s.sed Chen Xiu’s and a bayonet imbued with divine power appeared in his hand.
Chen Xiu took a deep breath. His eyes narrowed, and he once again fused Asura Eyes with his own, boosting his strength to great circle sage flux expert and turned around to dodge the attack. Filled with an either-you-live-or-I-live madness, he rushed toward Ming w.a.n.g.
Seeing Chen Xiu’s resolve, Ming w.a.n.g called him names inwardly. Even if Chen Xiu was borrowing strength from Asura Eyes, he still possessed the strength equivalent to a true half G.o.d. If he staked his life to fight against Ming w.a.n.g, Ming w.a.n.g might not be able to endure his attacks.
Chen Xiu was only a branch family descendant, so his strength was only at the initial stage of sage flux expert realm. Even if he died, no one would care. But Ming w.a.n.g was a half G.o.d expert, the right arm of the patriarch. If he sustained heavy injuries and wasn’t able to complete his mission, he would be finished.
“Simply a madman,” Ming w.a.n.g loudly cursed while brandis.h.i.+ng his spear. He attacked with it to break Chen Xiu’s focus while his right hand turned into a punch and flew toward Chen Xiu’s shoulder.
The power of a half G.o.d pa.s.sed through Chen Xiu’s shoulder and entered his body, wantonly rampaging in his meridians and even destroying his future. It was enough to send him to the ground coughing mouthfuls of blood.
Ming Xiu saw that Chen Xiu was heavily injured, and he slowly walked toward him with a smile. “Even if you have Asura Eyes, so what? In the end, I still caught you. This outcome was foreordained, so what was the use of your desperate struggle?”
Chen Xiu coughed a few times before retorting, “First take a look at where I am before saying such words.” He was covered in blood, but there was a smile on his face, and his voice held no anger.
Ming w.a.n.g instantly noticed that Chen Xiu was lying past the hundred meter mark, right in the territory of the city lord. As luck would have it, his whole body was at the edge of the territory. The attack from just a moment ago had allowed Chen Xiu to cover a distance of several tens of meters and enter the city lord’s domain.
During the short fight, he had never stopped thinking about how he could escape. Upon realizing that, Ming w.a.n.g finally understood that Chen Xiu was a very shrewd person. It explained how the young master could have been killed by him.
“I want to see whether you can hide within the city lord’s territory for a lifetime without coming out.”
Ming w.a.n.g coldly snorted before stepped into the hundred meter boundary to keep watch on Chen Xiu.
“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.”
Chen Xiu crawled up from the ground while laughing maniacally. He then staggered toward the city lord’s mansion while dragging his immobile arm. Escaping Ming w.a.n.g’s attack just then had only been the first step. Whether he could remain alive and complete master’s mission would depend on what happened at the city lord’s mansion.
As long as he succeeded, his future would be smooth.
Chen Xiu walked toward the city lord’s mansion step by step with Ming w.a.n.g following behind him at a distance of less than a step between them. When both of them arrived at the gate of the city lord’s mansion, the other young masters were already waiting for them at the door while reclining on wooden chairs. Maids were preparing tea for them on the side, which created a very pleasant scenery.
“I really hadn’t expected that you would be able to reach the city lord’s mansion. Seems like the person dispatched by patriarch Jiao Xiu isn’t very formidable.”
Domingle looked at Chen Xiu who was covered in blood. His cold taunt also incidentally caused Ming w.a.n.g’s face to darken.
“Domingle, I am afraid that you are mistaken. Why are you acting like a blind person even when you have eyes? This is a half G.o.d expert, the right arm of patriarch Jiao Xiu and a branch family descendant of Morrow Clan,” Jasmine said while curling her lips hidden behind the veil.
Both of them were taunting Ming w.a.n.g because when Jiao Xiu had dispatched him with the patriarch token, his att.i.tude had been extremely rampant.
Ming w.a.n.g coldly snorted but did not say anything.
Chen Xiu walked in front of the closed large door of the city lord’s mansion and knelt down on the ground.
“Morrow Clan’s branch family descendant Chen Xiu requests an audience with the city lord!” he said with determination.
There was no response from the city lord’s mansion, however. The large door did not budge in the slightest. After a while, the young masters reclining on their chairs began to sneer and taunt him.
“You are only a branch family descendant, so how could you possibly meet with the city lord? I fear that you lost your mind and went crazy. A person can only stay for half an hour every day outside the city lord’s mansion. After that time pa.s.ses, the guards of the city lord’s mansion will escort them away. Even if you kept shouting for half an hour, the city lord wouldn’t see you.”
“Even we young masters can only see the city lord at prearranged times. A branch family descendant like you would never get the opportunity to be summoned by him. Give up. It would be better if you did something good in this half an hour, because once you leave, you are dead meat. The crime of conspiring to kill the clan’s young master is enormous.”
“Don’t struggle, little brother, ha ha ha ha ha.”
