The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

165. Death

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Feng Xi’s body suddenly stiffened. He turned around and widened his eyes in shock only to see a group of people rushing over in an imposing manner.

Suddenly, with his face turning livid, he held onto King of the Netherworld’s arm tightly, trembling and grinding his teeth. “Why? Why? Why did he come a bit later? Did he deliberately go against me?”

Oh no, he lost the chance to get his way.

After he shouted, King of the Netherworld just chuckled above his head. Feng Xi was so angry that he bit his arm, which startled the people around him. They just stared at him with widened eyes, not knowing what he was doing.

Feng Xi wasn’t really biting hard. King of the Netherworld only felt tickled by Feng Xi’s teeth instead of feeling any pain.

At this time, the members of the Shenma Family had already rushed to them. One of them was the guard who had made trouble in the restaurant with Mada before. He recognized Feng Xi and King of the Netherworld, so he quickly reminded the adult named Gu Tao when he saw them leaving from a distance. The man was hailed as Third Master, the uncle of Mada, who was bad-tempered, easy to be irritated and inclined to fight with others. This time, he heard that his nephew was bullied in the restaurant of the Blue Jade Family, so he rushed here with some sidekicks.

Although they hurried here as fast as possible, they were still a bit later than expected. Therefore, they didn’t know that Feng Xi hated them to guts right now. He would rather that they hadn’t come, instead of arriving when he was living the restaurant, which gave him a huge blow.

“Gu Tao, what do you mean?”

Zhang Yang gloomily glanced at the red armored guards who surrounded them, and then stared at Gu Tao who was striding over.

“Nothing. The two people behind you injured my nephew. My nephew is still unconscious in bed. If you are smart enough, hand them over. Otherwise, I will report to Lord Castellan that your family harbor criminals. You won’t be able to defend yourself then.”

Gu Tao was a muscular adult with a black beard on his face. His beard trembled when he spoke, but his eyes were a little too narrow and small. When his eyes were squinted into slits, he looked like a sinister and indecent person. As a result, he was also well-known for his lust for women in Xingyuan City.

“What a joke! Go ahead, if you can. In the entire Xingyuan City, who doesn’t know what kind of person your nephew is? He is a barbarian trouble-maker. No one will believe your words even if you spread the words. Moreover, do you really think Lord Castellan is an ignorant person? Can’t he tell who is right and who is wrong given his intelligence? Watch your mouth in case you become a laughing stock.” Zhang Yang was not a pushover. When he heard that Gu Tao was going to report to Lord Castellan, he was so angry that he even burst out laughing.

“You…” How could Gu Tao not know what kind of person his nephew was?

However, the Shenma Family always concealed their people’s faults. Even if any of them made a mistake, the other people would pretend it was right. When the guard described the situation at the time, he did not tell that it was Mada who was in the wrong first, and only mentioned two men, who seemed to come from outside the city with no special background. Thus, without thinking much, Gu Tao just blurted out and now he had no idea how to refute Zhang Yang.

“Zhang Yang, it seems that you are determined to protect them,” Guo Tao said gloomily.

“Humph, they are the saviors of my young lady. If I don’t protect them, others will say that the Blue Jade Family is ungrateful. Unlike your family, the Blue Jade Family are not that brazenfaced to bear the disgrace,” Zhang Yang replied sarcastically.

Irritated again, Gu Tao instantly put on a fierce look. “Okay, you have guts indeed…” As he spoke, he was interrupted by a voice.

“Hey, Big Beard.”

The crowd heard it and then took a look, only to find a young man in red came from behind Zhang Yang with a bright smile.

“Brat, what did you call me?” Gu Tao saw that one of them who had injured his nephew walked to him without fear, who looked calm and composed as if he did not take him seriously at all. Upon hearing his impolite words, Gu Tao even blushed with anger.

“Don’t mind what I called you. I just have a question for you.” The young man in red waved his hand, gesturing for him to calm down. “Well, I’d like to ask why you came so late. Can you explain yourself? If the answer is satisfactory, I may show mercy for you at my discretion.”

Gu Tao immediately widened his red eyes in extreme rage, shouting fiercely, “You punk, what did you say?”

“What did I say? Don’t you understand? I’ve made it clear enough.” The young man in red didn’t understand why the man suddenly went mad.

Gu Tao was so angry that he almost couldn’t catch a breath. His dark face turned purple, and his right hand holding the wolf teeth mace trembled. Apparently, he was really raging.

To his astonishment, a young brat dared to be so arrogant in front of him. Did the brat think he could be stronger than him? Third Master was a strong man at the level of Eight Stars of Exalt God. How could a little brat dare to say “show mercy for him” to his face? How dare he?!

“Brat, I will teach you a lesson and make you regret.” Gu Tao was not a patient person. Seeing that the young man in red was so pompous, he was so furious that he wished to tear him apart. Not only did he injure his nephew, but he also dared to insult him. He would never let go of it if he didn’t seek the revenge. He must make the brat suffer.

Without any heads-up, Gu Tao lifted the wolf teeth mace with his right hand and struck the young man in red relentlessly with full strength. If the young man was hit, he would be smashed into pieces on the spot.

As the wolf teeth mace was about to hit the young man in red, many onlookers covered their eyes and screamed in fear.

“Bang!”

With a loud sound, the ground shook.

Everyone moved away their hands and then took a look only to see that the wolf teeth mace only hit the ground while the young man in red disappeared.

Gu Tao suddenly widened his eyes. Then the young man in red reappeared in front of him like an afterimage. With a low roar, the young man punched his stomach harshly, making Gu Tao’s eyes even bulged. Gu Tao felt as if his body was twisted together and then burst quickly. Strong as he was, he still retreated for a few steps.

However, the young man in red didn’t seem to stop. A silver long spear appeared in his tightly gripped right hand. Then he jumped up and swept the long spear towards Gu Tao and his men. A hot wave of air rose, and the surrounding air became extremely hot. He shouted at the same time, “The first move of the God Destruction Spear—Heaven Destroying!”

Since Feng Xi had made Ice Qilin his Demon Beast by contract, and the Ice Qilin itself was a Demon Beast with ice and fire attributes, Feng Xi could use ice sealing and flames. Because he was a refiner, he was more proficient in fire control than ice sealing. His silver spear was attached with a layer of white flame, which ordinary people couldn’t see if they didn’t look closely.

Although Gu Tao and his men made defensive moves in time, they didn’t know that the white flames of the Ice Qilin were second only to Primary Ice Spirits, much more powerful than the top Divine Fire. An Exalt God’s defense couldn’t withstand a single blow at all, and the gale brought by the God Destruction Spear Skill broke Gu Tao’s defense with the overwhelming strength, directly piercing his chest. Even the guard behind him could not escape.

They two staggered and then finally fell to the blood on the ground. They were dead on the spot.

It was dead silent at the entire intersection. Everyone stared at the scene in front of them, dumbstruck.

Feng Xi himself was also shocked. He never thought that the God Destruction Spear Skill would become so powerful. With the first move only, he killed the man. In fact, he intended to teach Big Beard a lesson without any killing intent. This brat finally knew that he made serious trouble. When he saw everyone staring at him as if gazing at a monster, he ran to King of the Netherworld.

“Oh, I didn’t mean to kill him. How would I know that he was so weak?” Feng Xi grabbed King of the Netherworld’s sleeve and muttered softly.

His words were obviously heard. Zhang Yang and his men heard him clearly, who were about to collapse in an instant.

He himself was too strong and instead, he was blaming others for being weak? What kind of logic was this?!

However, it would be fine if no one was dead, but now that Third Master of the Shenma Family was dead. As a strong man at the level of Eight Stars of Exalt God, he was not a top cultivator, he was not weak. He was also the third younger brother of the master of the Shenma Family. Since the master’s younger brother died, how could the Shenma Family let go of this easily? If this matter was reported to Lord Castellan, things would be more difficult to deal with.

Zhang Yang thought that he was here to pick up two person and didn’t expect to encounter a murder. Instantly, he felt a headache.

King of the Netherworld touched Feng Xi’s head and consoled him, “What’s done is done. Good job, Xi.”

Feng Xi had known that King of the Netherworld wouldn’t blame him, so he gave an excessively bright smile.

The corners of Zhang Yang’s mouth twitched when he heard this. It turned out that the young man was spoiled by this man. Yet, given that the young man was already so powerful, how strong would this man be?

The relationship between the Blue Jade family and the Shenma family was originally rather tense. Even without this flashpoint, the relationship between the two families would be broken sooner or later. Besides, tomorrow was the handover of Transmission Ritual. No matter which family would take control of the Transmission Ritual, the relationship between the two families would only deteriorate further. The Shenma Family wouldn’t allow the Blue Jade Family to control the Transmission Ritual again in a row.

Therefore, not only was there nothing wrong with protecting these two men, but they were able to befriend two mysterious competent men. Zhang Yang didn’t hesitate anymore at the moment.
