The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

115. Bullying the Weak

Translator: Joy

An angry roar echoed in the valley which startled the perching birds, causing them to fly in all directions.

The man in blue was already flushing with anger. If his eyes could be turned into a sharp blade, then the boy in red would’ve already been chopped into numerous pieces. This was the first time in his life that he had been humiliated because of his name. If he didn’t teach this boy a lesson, then how was he going to maintain his dignity?

On top of that, the boy in red still showed an innocent expression, enraging the man in blue to the point where he just wanted to rip the boy’s face off.

The reason why he dared to challenge the boy to a life-or-death duel was that the man in blue only felt a weak fluctuation of power from the boy in red and assumed that the latter was a pathetic cultivator that hadn’t even reached the God King realm. Therefore, he felt his strength was more than enough to defeat the boy and take back his dignity. The humiliation that he had faced in front of so many people would make him lose face. Moreover, the Hoare Family’s reputation would also be tarnished.

Due to this, the young woman didn’t stop her junior brother. Although they weren’t blood-related siblings, there were still closely related cousins. In the Hoare Family, Qing Zhen’s position was second only to hers and he was the arbitrator’s grandson. In addition, he was also one of the potential successors of the family. He wasn’t someone that could be humiliated by anyone and if they dared to mock him, then they would also be mocking the Hoare Family. If the boy didn’t pay the price for his insults, then people would think the Hoare Family was easy to bully.

If the news got out that a little God King realm cultivator had provoked the person who defeated two experts of the God Sovereign realm, then that would truly be funny.

If the two cultivators had investigated carefully beforehand, they would have known that the person who defeated the cultivators from Icy Valley was a young boy in red. Among the crowd, the only boy in red was the one in front of them. The boy’s identity or position was truly much higher than the so-called Hoare Family’s. If he lost a hair on his head, the lives of all the members of the Hoare Family wouldn’t be enough to compensate.

Unfortunately, people liked to take his appearance as the truth, which was why this tragedy continued to happen. However, there was no way to avoid the situation.

Upon hearing what the man in blue had said, the crowd looked at each other with dismay, but no one spoke up.

What was the point of speaking up? Tell the boy to not kill or severely injure the man in blue?

The people of the Sura Family were all unyielding and stubborn by nature. If other people bullied or attacked them, then they would definitely not let it go. Earlier, when the man in blue was belittling the Sura Family, anger was already building up in their hearts. However, because the current strength of the Sura Family wasn’t a match for the Hoare Family, they could only swallow their rage.

However, now that the opponent purposely picked a fight, it wasn’t their problem. If the atmosphere wasn’t as it was, then they would’ve cheered the boy in red, egging him on to fight.

“Since you have already asked, then I have no choice but to give you an answer. I, Feng Xi, accept your challenge. A fight to the death it is!”

The boy in red was Feng Xi. Seeing that his opponent came to him like a punching bag at his doorstep, he certainly wouldn’t refuse. It just so happened that he wasn’t satisfied by the fight before and was thinking about using the man in blue to practice a bit. Since it was a life-or-death duel, then it wouldn’t be his problem whether the man lived or died.

After Feng Xi finished talking, a golden column of light immediately fell from the sky above and acted on both him and the man in blue.

This was the rule of the Way of the Heaven and was what the God of Books had told Feng Xi. As soon as both sides vowed to fight to the death, the rules of the Way of the Heaven would act on their bodies. This type of life-or-death duel could only be completed if one of them died, or else they would never be able to escape the arena that the Way of Heaven had created. The arena was an area with a perimeter of five hundred meters and everyone else was pushed out of this area.

When she looked at the boy in red who was still smiling quietly, the young woman’s eyelid twitched as anxiety came over her. She instantly had a bad feeling. When she saw the mocking expressions on the faces of the Sura Family, she immediately widened her eyes. It couldn’t be! They fell into the boy’s trap?

“Hahaha…” Qing Zhen’s ferocious laugh resonated from inside the circle and he smiled as if he already won. The sound of his laugh was filled with madness as if he was venting all the pent-up anger. Originally, he thought that the boy in red wouldn’t be brave enough to accept his challenge. However, he didn’t expect that the situation would turn in his favour as the boy had accepted without saying another word. It seemed that the heavens were on his side!

“Insolent brat! You don’t know your place! Let’s see who comes to your rescue now!” Qing Zhen sneered with hostility while pulling out his weapon. A dark red spear suddenly appeared in his hand and simultaneously, his spiritual energy burst forth from his entire body.

The dark red spiritual energy enveloped his whole body and in an instant solidified into a suit of blood red battle armor around him. The surface of the armor shined brightly and was dazzling to look at. At first glance, he seemed like a blood-soaked god of war, stunning the people who looked at him.

At the same time, a fierce snarl echoed above them as an enormously tall Earth Bear fell from the sky and landed with a boom in front of Feng Xi. This bear was similar in appearance to a black bear and its furry face was full of bloodthirst. Its humongous body stood in front of Feng Xi as its strong power suddenly burst forth!

His first move was summoning his Demon Beast and battle armor!

It seemed that Qing Zheng indeed was set on killing Feng Xi with his most powerful abilities and wasn’t going to show any mercy!

If they weren’t aware of Feng Xi’s strength, then perhaps the Sura Family would be worried. However, they saw with their own eyes how Feng Xi defeated the two experts of the God Sovereign realm with his own power. They didn’t believe that Qing Zhen, a weak cultivator of the God King realm would be able to defeat Feng Xi.

Besides, although he had a Demon Beast, it didn’t mean that others didn’t have any.

While this Earth Bear was strong, he was only a high-level lower grade Demon Beast. However, they had sensed that the boy’s Demon Beast was a genuine Saint Realm Demon Beast. Between a Saint Realm Demon Beast and a high-level Demon Beast, it was obvious at a glance who would win!

“Master, that’s a high-level Demon Beast called Earth Bear. They have strong defense and are naturally born with spiritual power. These bears possess extraordinary strength and are skilled in earth element attacks. They also can cast long range gravity arts. The stronger the Earth Bear, the farther they can cast this technique. This Earth Bear is already an adult Demon Beast and his power is decent. They could likely squash a cultivator at the God King realm.”

The God of Books and the others didn’t know when they would be called from the Space Ring. This Space Ring was different from ordinary Space Rings because it was refined from the Tree of the World and because it could hold living things.

Upon seeing the barrier erected by the rules, the God of Books knew that his master was in a life-or-death duel. However, they weren’t worried because it was just an Earth Bear. Even the Hairless Chicken could send it flying with one punch. Therefore, they could only patiently explain the information on the Earth Bear to their master.

Feng Xi nodded his head, but he stared with fiery eyes at Qing Zhen… His battle armor…

On the opposite side, the confident Qing Zhen looked down condescendingly at Feng Xi, who was standing on the ground. In his eyes, Feng Xi was nothing more than a dead man. Actually, in Feng Xi’s eyes, he was the real dead man!

“Poor guy!”

“Some people do overvalue themselves!”

“That’s not it. Isn’t it just a high-level Demon Beast? If the young boy calls his Demon Beast, it could crush the bear in one step.”

“Tut-tut, isn’t he just in the God King realm? The young boy is at the God Sovereign realm. What sort of joke is this!?”

As more people gathered outside of the area and showed scorn on their faces, the young woman’s frown got deeper. Her bad feeling grew stronger. When she saw a rainbow-feathered Demon Beast standing behind the boy, she widened her eyes in shock and immediately recognized the identity of the Demon Beast.

According to her knowledge, the Demon Beast that possessed rainbow-coloured feathers was the Flying Chicken. This type of Demon Beast would only grow feathers once it had matured. Once they grew their rainbow-coloured feathers, it signified that they had transformed into a Saint Realm Demon Beast.

If the Demon Beast that stood behind the boy really was a Saint Realm Demon Beast, then Qing Zhen… was going to lose!

As she was thinking, the young woman’s expression suddenly became scary. If… If Qing Zhen died, then… there would be no one who could compete with her to be the head of the Hoare Family…

Once these thoughts had emerged, there was no way to suppress them. Now, the young woman couldn’t help but hope that Feng Xi would be able to kill Qing Zhen. If Qing Zhen died, she would have one fewer competitor to deal with and the elders of the family wouldn’t be able to put the blame on her for his death. After contemplating for a while, the young woman immediately restored her calmness. She even showed a caring look, as if she was worried about Qing Zhen.

This person was extremely good at acting, but what she wasn’t aware of was that her every change in expression was seen by Carendra.

“Hahaha, if you kneel and beg for forgiveness, maybe I’ll show you some mercy.” Qing Zhen laughed like a madman.

Feng Xi suddenly started laughing, “Idiot, it’s just a Demon Beast. Let me show you what a truly strong Demon Beast is like. My two beasts against yours.”

As he spoke, the sky silently split open as a crack formed. A Demon Beast that was only half the size of the Earth Bear crawled out of the crack while emitting the pressure of a sacred beast. It had a single horn on top of its head and its power was no less than the Earth Bear’s. This was the Sky Breaking Beast that was hiding in his Space Ring. However, this was not the end. Behind Feng Xi, Hairless Chicken transformed into a rainbow-coloured stream of light and appeared before him. The auras of the Saint Realm Demon Beasts were simultaneously sent out, and two extremely strong pressures immediately startled the Earth Bear. His enormous body shook the ground as he was forced to kneel and could no longer stand up while his spirit was gradually crushed.

A high-level Demon Beast versus two Saint Realm Demon Beasts. There was no chance of winning!

Qing Zhen, who was standing across from Feng Xi, paled in terror. He took a step back, and fell to the ground!
