The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

156. The Evolution of a Robber

Translator: Joy

The ‘angry’ declaration of the young boy in his arms made the King of the Netherworld happy. However, his expression remained apathetic and indifferent. He reached out and rubbed that round and smooth face, “Okay, then we won’t let them go.”

Feng Xi immediately nodded his head happily. Since the Leader agreed, then nothing would be able to stop them!

“Sire, you speak of yourselves so highly. I would like to see what you won’t let us off with!”

The person who Qing Ming had invited saw that they had completely ignored everyone, and his serious expression quickly became fiendish. He glared fiercely at the King of the Netherworld as if he wanted to slaughter the two of them right now and then take the two high-grade Profound Weapons.

This person’s name was Elder West Yin and was the strongest cultivator among them. He was at the fifth grade of the Lesser Heaven God realm and was three grades higher than Qing Ming. Due to his strength, he had an air of superiority around him. He felt that dealing with Feng Xi and the King of the Netherworld would be a piece of cake. As a result, he became displeased when he noticed that they had ignored him.

Hearing what Qing Ming had said, Feng Xi rolled his eyes and asked: “What method of defeat do you like the best?”

“Hmph! The victors have not been decided yet. Are you saying that you could defeat all of us with just the two of you? You’re dreaming!” Elder West Yin’s slender eyes immediately filled with rage once he heard the boy’s ‘crazy talk’. His narrowed eyes were like that of a sinister fox and with the dark night behind him, he seemed even ghastlier.

“Elder West Yin, enough with the nonsense. Let’s kill them first.” Qing Ming abruptly flew into the sky and stopped a few feet behind Elder West Yin. He glared coldly at Feng Xi. Besides coldness, there wasn’t a hint of anger on his face. It was clear that he was very proficient in controlling his expression.

“Don’t worry Mr. Qing Ming. I won’t let them get away.”

After Elder West Ying finished talking, a voice suddenly sounded next to his ear. Qing Ming transmitted his voice quietly to him, “Elder West Yin, once we attack, bind the other man and try to separate him from that boy in red. At that time, I can kill the boy. There’s no less benefits for you.”

“Okay.” Elder West Yin replied without hesitation. Since he had already gotten involved in this situation, the result would be the same no matter what he did.

The two of them quietly discussed their plan and thought that no one had heard them. Little did they know that they wouldn’t be able hide the transmission of their voices from the King of the Netherworld. He just had to stretch his senses a little and would know everything they talked about.

The King of the Netherworld ignored them and held the boy’s little hands with a relaxed expression, “Does Xi want to teach them a lesson?”

“Of course I do! Especially that Qing Ming person. Does Leader have a good way?” Feng Xi’s eyes immediately lit up.

The King of the Netherworld moved closer and whispered in his ear. As Feng Xi listened, he suddenly started laughing. Just as he was about to give the King a thumbs up, Elder West Yin suddenly shouted ‘attack!’. Everyone immediately charged at them like flying arrows with weapons in their hands. Their fierce bloodlust filled the air centered around them as their shouts resonated outward.

The King of the Netherworld lifted his head and the silver gem embedded in his forehead shot a bright silver light into the air. An endless amount of energy unfolded and spread around them. The air crumbled up like the wrinkles on a piece of cloth. Almost everyone in Skyline City felt this strength. The less courageous people directly knelt on the ground and couldn’t get up. As the ripples spread outward, Elder West Yin and the others revealed their bodies with shocked expressions on their faces.

“So this is power of the King of the Netherworld!” Luo Nanshu and the others widened their eyes in astonishment. They stared without blinking at the King of the Netherworld floating in the sky.

Under the shocked stares of the people below, the King of the Netherworld slowly lifted his hand. He spoke with a voice full of cold indifference, “Time — Stop!” Following his words, the wrinkles in the space suddenly unfurled. In an instant, every person within a one-hundred-meter radius of the King of the Netherworld was covered. Qing Ming and Elder West Yin immediately stopped moving and the expression on their face stopped at the moment they became horrified. Everyone knew that they regretted their actions.

Carendra and the others who were on the ground weren’t affected. Therefore, they were able to clearly see the ten or so experts who were charging at the King of the Netherworld and Feng Xi stop one by one. They couldn’t move and their expressions were stopped at the very last moment. Indescribable fear and regret were frozen on their faces. The ten or so experts were stopped before they could even move. This type of strength shocked everyone in Skyline City.

“I would’ve never thought that His Majesty was a controller of time.” Luo Nanshu couldn’t help but quickly suck in a breath of air.

Under the Heavenly Laws, there were a dozen or so rules. Among them, the rules that controlled time and space were the most powerful and overbearing. If one could control these two rules, then there would be no one in the world who could be on equal footing as them. Between peers of the same realms, they would never lose. However, one had to cultivate to the Great Heaven God realm before they could qualify to touch those rules. Even then the probability of success was really low because these rules weren’t ones that could be touched easily.

Luo Nanshu’s grandfather, the Great Heaven God of Air and Zong Wuqing’s grandfather, the Great Heaven God of Disaster, were at the apex of power in the God and Demon Kingdom. However, even they could only use a small portion of the rules. From this, it was evident how difficult it was to control these rules.

Therefore, seeing how fluidly the King of the Netherworld controlled time, their shock was predictable.

“Hahaha, it’s my turn now.” Feng Xi waved his fist as he smiled triumphantly. The silent night suddenly became quite loud.

After hearing his voice, many people came back to their senses. However, the shocked expressions on their faces remained as before.

The crowd looked at the boy in red who walked toward the person closest to him, Elder West Yin. A mischievous and troublemaking smile covered his face. With a few hops, he arrived in front of Elder West Yin. He circled around him a few times while laughing happily and then pointed at his nose and said: “Now you know who has won and who has lost. I had given you the choice to pick how you wanted to lose but you wouldn’t believe me. Now look at you, you can’t even move!”

Elder West Yin couldn’t move but his eyes could still rotate. However, there was no way to express what he was thinking.

Feng Xi never planned on allowing him to answer and said to himself, “Don’t worry, I won’t beat you up. However, you just scared me, so you must compensate for damaging my mental health. Do you understand? If you don’t say anything, I’ll assume that you’ve agreed. Where’s your storage pouch?”

After Feng Xi finished talking, he found a black pouch on Elder West Yin. However, this wasn’t his storage pouch but was a jewellery pouch, which was ten times better. It looked light but it could hold a lot of stuff. Elder West Yin was an expert of the Lesser Heaven God realm, so his assets obviously weren’t bad. However, all his assets were in that jewellery pouch. Once Feng Xi took it, he would be left as a penniless peasant.

Feng Xi, who had completely turned into a robber, pillaged the other ten people’s storage pouches and threw them into his space ring. Along with the Ice Qilin’s treasures, his Space Ring was gradually filling up.

The ten experts were already in tears. Seeing the boy in red completely pillage all their treasures without a hint of remorse, he was more of a robber than a robber. They knew that they shouldn’t have sought out those two high-grade Profound Weapons because in the end, they lost all their treasures before they even got a chance to fight. This exchange was not worth it at all. However, there was no medicine for regrets.

The other experts in Skyline City rejoiced that they hadn’t been enticed by those two high-grade Profound Weapons or else they would’ve ended up as one of those people in the air.

“Little Mold, I’ll leave the rest to you.”

After Feng Xi finished pillaging all ten people’s treasures, he called to the God of Bad Luck who was watching the show. At the same time, he raised his hand and slapped Elder West Yin’s face hard. The strength of his slap wasn’t small and with a smack, Elder West Yin was slapped out of the sky. He landed right in front of Carendra and the others and because time was stopped for him, he laid frozen on the ground.

The God of Bad Luck understood what his owner wanted him to do. He hopped onto Elder West Yin’s body and jumped a few times. He only jumped off after confirming that a hundred years of misfortune was smothered on his body. However, right after, more people were smacked down from the sky. The sound of his slaps was crisp and clear as they fell in front of Elder West Yin, one after another. Not long after, a small mountain of people formed in front of Carendra and the others. The God of Bad Luck and the God of Books happily jumped on them.

Feng Xi said smiling, “See, I didn’t beat up guys up, I just hit you.”

Once he said these words, the people below couldn’t resist the twitch in their lips.

The only person left in the sky after Feng Xi had cleared it up was the Dino Family’s weapon refiner Qing Ming. Feng Xi had left him to the very last and the crowd didn’t need to guess to know that he was done for.

Weapon refiner Qing Ming finally realized how hard of an iron plate he had kicked. Unfortunately, he couldn’t speak so he could only move his eyes.

“I heard that weapon refiners have a lot of treasures!!” Feng Xi walked around Qing Ming, smiling brightly. His two eyes that were shaped like crescent moons resembled that of a cute little fox with a bit of mischief underneath.

Qing Ming naturally saw Feng Xi looting the others for their treasures. Upon hearing his words, a drop of sweat fell from his forehead…
