Chapter 603: Under Huang Quan, All Are Lapdogs
Chapter 603: Under Huang Quan, All Are Lapdogs
Kristina and the others were dumbfounded by Ye Xiu’s strength. The power he displayed was simply unfathomable, making it impossible for them to gauge his true limits.
But they all knew about Yue Longxuan. When he was born, Yue Longxuan only possessed a talent for Cultivation and had not inherited any Totem or Special Abilities, so he was merely of the Fourth Rank. However, he displayed an astonishing talent, absorbing Spiritual Energy, creating his own Cultivation Techniques, and even comprehending Sword Intent. He advanced steadily, and after reaching the Third Rank, he was granted a Totem. Afterwards, Yue Longxuan rode his momentum to become a Fifth Realm War God and enter the ruling class of the Eternal Kingdom.
Although Yue Longxuan was still a Fifth Realm War God, his overall strength was even greater than that of Meng Yinwan, a Sixth Realm War God. Moreover, Fourth Realm War Gods were known for having copper skin and iron bones. Yue Longxuan’s defensive power had long made him immune to conventional weapons. Yet, a single, casual palm strike from Huang Quan had severely injured him, caving in his chest and leaving a deep palm print.
Just how strong is Huang Quan?
"Unbelievable, incredible. Huang Quan’s strength has reached such a terrifying level." Meng Yinwan and the others, who were watching the spectacle from a distance, were similarly shocked by Ye Xiu’s power.
"Huang Quan’s strength must be at least at the Seventh Realm!" Meng Yinwan said grimly.
By then, the counterfeit Huang Quan had already been pulled into Ye Xiu’s grasp.
With a sharp CRACK, Ye Xiu twisted and broke the man’s neck.
"A moment ago, your tone suggested that as long as you were here, I couldn’t kill him. Now that he’s dead, don’t you have something to say?" Ye Xiu asked coldly, tossing the counterfeit’s body next to Yue Longxuan.
Yue Longxuan was silent. Only then did he realize what a foolish mistake he had made. His desire to slay Huang Quan for personal fame had created a formidable enemy for the Eternal Kingdom.
"Trash like you dares to challenge me? Did your teachers in the Eternal Kingdom not teach you the meaning of death?" Ye Xiu walked up to Yue Longxuan, stepped on his face, and mocked him without a shred of courtesy.
"To the victor go the spoils. Since I have lost, you may kill or flay me as you see fit," Yue Longxuan declared defiantly.
He appeared tough on the surface, but inside, he was filled with regret. He had looked down on Huang Quan, treating him like an ant. In the end, he was the ant.
"I’ll grant your wish!"
Ye Xiu stomped down, breaking Yue Longxuan’s neck.
The horrifying CRACK made Kristina and the others tense up, their hearts leaping into their throats. From a distance, Meng Yinwan and her group could only sigh. Huang Quan truly lived up to his reputation; his killer instinct was overwhelming.
"Now it’s your turn!" Ye Xiu turned to look at Kristina, Yin Pinghu, and the others, his voice cold. "You’re all very unlucky. On a normal day, I might have played with you for a while before killing you. But not today. Today, you all must die!"
After speaking, he swung his right hand in a semicircle. The next moment, Kristina and the others felt as if an atomic bomb had detonated in their chests as they were all sent flying. They died the instant they landed.
"Mom, Grandfather, Grandmother, today is the anniversary of your deaths. Your unfilial son, Ye Xiu, is too ashamed to face you. Please accept these few lives for now," Ye Xiu said with grief, facing north. Suddenly, he whipped his head around to look at a small hill two hundred meters away.
Meng Yinwan and the four people with her, who were watching the scene unfold through binoculars, felt their blood run cold from Ye Xiu’s distant gaze.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The binoculars in their hands exploded simultaneously.
"Run!" Meng Yinwan screamed, turning and fleeing for her life. The other four did the same, each one running faster than the last.
My God! He made our binoculars explode with just a look from over two hundred meters away! Huang Quan’s strength is simply heaven-defying!
"I’ll spare your lives!" Ye Xiu snorted. He bent down, grabbed Yue Longxuan’s corpse by the neck, and lifted it. A golden light shimmered around his body as he drained Yue Longxuan of his Totem and Martial Prowess.
Next, he absorbed the Totems, Special Abilities, and Martial Prowess from everyone else, except for Kristina.
So many people, yet they all have the same Totem, Ye Xiu thought with a trace of disappointment. Still, this Totem’s ability is rather interesting.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. The next moment, all the landmines buried in the ground around Unparalleled Mountain erupted from the earth. It was an Earth System Totem.
Ye Xiu took out his phone and called the Ghost Doctor. "Inform the Blood Cloth Guards to come and find me in Nanjing."
So many identical Totems were useless to him alone, but they would be a great asset to distribute among the Blood Cloth Guards.
Like a startled bird, Meng Yinwan fled at full speed back to her small cottage in the mountain village. She trembled for a good while before finally taking out her phone.
In the group chat, she typed: "Yue Longxuan is dead!"
"What?"
Everyone in the Restorer Alliance chat was stunned.
"How did he die?"
"Huang Quan couldn’t possibly have killed Yue Longxuan. Did you help him, Meng Yinwan?"
"Meng Yinwan, hurry up and tell us how Yue Longxuan died!"
Meng Yinwan took a deep breath and described in detail everything she had witnessed. After she finished, the group fell into a long, deathly silence.
「Fifteen minutes later...」
King of the Snow Region: "As expected."
Everyone: "???"
Meng Yinwan: "North King, what do you mean by that? I remember last night you said we were underestimating Huang Quan. Do you know something we don’t?"
"North King, since you said that, it must mean you know him. Just how strong is he?"
"What’s your relationship with Huang Quan?"
"How do you know so much about his strength?"
At that moment, everyone in the group was bursting with curiosity.
King of the Snow Region: "I’ve been beaten by Huang Quan."
The group fell silent once again.
「Five minutes later...」
Meng Yinwan: "North King, you’re a peak Seventh Realm War God. Is Huang Quan stronger than you?"
"North King, when did he beat you?"
"How many moves did you last against him?"
"The saying goes that no one survives an encounter with Huang Quan’s blade. They say only the Gun God and the Blood Demon ever escaped with their lives. How did you survive?"
The King of the Snow Region’s words had thoroughly terrified the members of the Restorer Alliance. If Huang Quan could even defeat a Seventh Realm War God, how horrifying must his power be?
King of the Snow Region: "Five years ago, I was in Sotibus on business and happened to see Huang Quan and his Blood Cloth Guards wiping out the Dagger Mercenary Group. I was watching from a hiding spot, but from a great distance, he sent me flying eight hundred meters with a single palm strike. I was severely injured on the spot, and then he captured me."
What? He had severely injured the North King with a single attack from a great distance? That kind of strength was simply monstrous!
Meng Yinwan: "Why didn’t Huang Quan kill you?"
The King of the Snow Region seemed to hesitate before replying: "He told me to call him ’Daddy,’ and in return, he would spare my life."
Uh...
The group was collectively speechless. No one needed to guess what happened next; the North King must have called Huang Quan ’Daddy’. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be alive today.
Meng Yinwan: "There’s a saying in the martial world: ’All are dogs beneath Huang Quan.’ I always thought it was just him bragging, but now it seems his words were not an empty boast."
Someone else chimed in, questioning Huang Quan’s identity: "There’s something strange about him. Apart from the Restorer Alliance and the Eternal Kingdom, there shouldn’t be any War Gods above the Fourth Realm on Earth."
Meng Yinwan: "Could it be that Huang Quan is from the Temple?"
