Chapter 2274 – Killing to Establish Authority
Chapter 2274 – Killing to Establish Authority
The older man coldly snorted and said, “You are Zhao Ling? I heard that you obtained a Bloodless Command Token. Is that true?”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “I do indeed have a Bloodless Command Token. May I know why Senior is asking about it?”
The older man sneered, “Hand over your Bloodless Command Token and I will spare you from death.”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, “Just because you said so, I should just hand it over?”
As soon as the old man heard this, his complexion changed. Then he snorted and said, “Good, good. Nobody dared to talk to me like this in many years. Young Man, you’re good. Since this is Demonheart City, I can’t make a move. But from now on, people of the Blood Knife Gang better not leave the city. Or else they will die one by one.”
Zhao Hai looked at the old man and said, “There’s no need to threaten me. Let’s leave Demonheart City, if you dare. As long as you can kill me, the Bloodless Command Token will naturally be yours. If you can’t kill me, then you don’t deserve the token.” Then Zhao Hai moved and went outside Demonheart City.
Zhao Hai and the old man’s dialogue wasn’t isolated, so the conversation was heard by the spectators. Although they also heard that the Blood Knife Gang has obtained a Bloodless Command Token, they were still shocked to hear Zhao Hai confirm it.
What shocked the spectators more was Zhao Hai’s response. Zhao Hai was just an Earth Monarch while the old man was a Teleportation Stage Expert. Even then, he still challenged the old man to fight outside Demonheart City. Wasn’t his confidence too big?
Sure enough, seeing Zhao Hai’s arrogant challenge, the old man’s expression changed. But his eyes showed his rage as he turned his head to the younger man and said, “Let’s go kill that kid and grab his Bloodless Command Token. Then you can join the Forbidden Path Sect.”
The younger man in green robes nodded. What he respected the most in this life was his master. Now, the old man was humiliated by Zhao Hai. If they weren’t in Demonheart City, he would have already killed Zhao Hai a long time ago.
The old man led his disciple outside Demonheart City following behind Zhao Hai. Demonheart City didn’t allow anyone to fly at will. Although he was at the Teleportation Stage, he didn’t dare disobey the Forbidden Path Sect. So he could only walk on the ground with his disciple.
The spectators also followed behind. Moreover, they began calling their friends over. This alarmed the rogue cultivators of Demonheart City, especially those who wanted to participate in the sect’s assessment. If Zhao Hai was killed by the old man, they might be able to grab a few benefits.
Zhao Hai had long expected that someone would come as long as he appeared. This time, he was here to establish his authority. He wanted the cultivators of Demonheart City to know that the Blood Knife Gang wasn’t a soft persimmon that they could pinch whenever they wanted to. Most importantly, he wanted people in the Forbidden Path Sect to know that he wasn’t just a rich young master who didn’t deserve to join the sect.
Because Zhao Hai left first while the old man and the younger man left later, when Zhao Hai was around ten li(5km) outside Demonheart City, the two were able to catch up.
Zhao Hai looked at the old man who also stopped. The old man also sneered at Zhao Hai as he laughed, “Kid, you’re really not afraid of death. Good, good!” Then he moved to begin the fight.
But at this time, the young man in greed robes blocked him and said, “Master, make me fight. I’m the one using the Bloodless Command Token. I should be the one to take it.”
The old man looked at his disciple and said, “Alright, go. I’ll leave him to you.” After saying that, the old man stepped to the side and looked at Zhao Hai with a calm face.
Zhao Hai looked at the old man, and then to his disciple as he shook his head, “You can’t do it, let your master come.” When Zhao Hai said that, there were already many spectators around. These cultivators have followed behind them all the way from Demonheart City. They all wanted to see how Zhao Hai plans to solve this matter.
When Zhao Hai said this, one of the spectators exclaimed, “That’s Young Master Green Snake! He’s a famous rogue cultivator around here. But I didn’t expect his master to be Old Snakeface. I heard that Young Master Green Snake isn’t only strong, he also has a strange poison on him. Nobody was able to survive his poison.”
“Yes, that Young Master Green Snake is a devious fellow. I heard that he killed a lot of people and snatched their possessions. However, nobody can prove it because none survived. People only speculated from the corpses left by the victims.
Listening to the discussions, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but show a smile on his face. Young Master Green Snake was also paying attention to Zhao Hai. Seeing the smile on Zhao Hai’s face, he was stunned for a moment. Then he became vigilant as he said, “What are you smiling at? You’re going to die, and you can still smile?”
Zhao Hai looked at the young man and said, “Originally, I didn’t want to kill you because you’re too weak. It’s meaningless for me. But now I changed my mind, you’re going to die.”
Young Master Green Snake’s expression changed, then he laughed, “You want to kill me? Hahaha, based on your skills? Take this first, Green Snake Fang!” After that, the young man moved and his figure turned into an attacking green snake that pounced towards Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai stood in place with a calm face, looking at the approaching green snake. However, this only made it look like he was frightened. Young master Green Snake saw this and couldn’t help but feel happy. His fingers attacked even faster.
Seeing his enemy getting closer and closer, Zhao Hai’s smile didn’t change. Just when Young Master Green Snake was about to touch him, Zhao Hai suddenly stretched his hand. He grabbed Young Master Green Snake’s wrist like a pair of steel pliers. Young Master Green Snake was like a snake being grabbed by the neck, he was unable to move.
Everyone stared at Zhao Hai. They didn’t expect Zhao Hai to deal with Young Master Green Snake like this. Two Earth Monarchs were fighting like two children on the playground.
Young Master Green Snake looked at Zhao Hai with a pained expression. He never expected his attack to end like this. His hand seemed to be shackled by a steel chain, he couldn’t get away.
Young Master Green Snake looked at Zhao Hai viciously and said, “Let me go. Do you dare fight fair?”
Looking at his captured enemy, Zhao Hai laughed and said, “You tell me about fighting fair? Hahaha. You’re too funny. Are you really from the True Spirit Realm? Fair? Hahaha.” After that, Zhao Hai let go of his hand and then threw a punch.
“Stop!” A loud shout was heard. At the same time, a strong aura swept towards Zhao Hai. However, Zhao Hai had no intention of stopping at all. His punch reached Young Master Green Snake’s chest. Young Master Green Snake’s chest broke into countless fragments. There were pieces of internal organs mixed with the blood thrown out. It was obvious that Young Master Green Snake wouldn’t survive.
After killing Young Master Green Snake, Zhao Hai turned his body to Old Greenface who had an enraged expression.
Old Greenface wasn’t looking at Zhao Hai right now. He looked at Young Master Green Snake and said, “Kid, kid, are you alright?”
After determining that Young Master Green Snake was truly dead, Old Greenface could no longer hide his rage. He turned his head to Zhao Hai, his eyes were blood-red, “You killed my disciple. Kid, I’ll tear you to pieces!”
Zhao Hai looked at Old Greenface and said, “I already said that if you threaten my people, you must prepare for my revenge. Even if I’m not capable now, once I enter the Forbidden Path Sect, I will return the grievance a thousand times. However, you don’t have the qualifications to face my revenge after I enter the Forbidden Path Sect. So I will retaliate now. Your disciple is dead, you will be next.”
Old Snakeface no longer responded as he roared and threw himself towards Zhao Hai. His mouth then shouted, “Azure Dragon Strangle!” His body rotated and his whole person turned into an azure dragon. He was trying to kill Zhao Hai in one go.
Zhao Hai looked at the old man and coldly snorted, “Demon Subjugation Method, kill!” Then he stepped forward as his whole person turned into an angry Buddha. Then he released a strong punch.
Boom! Huge explosion happened on the place where Zhao Hai and Old Snakeface clashed, raising a mushroom cloud into the sky. Then a person’s shadow fell from the cloud, falling into the ground and wriggling a few times before becoming motionless.
The spectators were shocked by the resulting clash of the two. Then they turned their attention to the person who fell and couldn’t help but gasp. This was because the person on the ground wasn’t Zhao Hai as they thought. Instead, it was Old Snakeface. From his image, everyone knew that at least 80% of Old Snakeface’s bones were shattered. This person was bound to die.
“Hiss!” Everyone couldn’t help but take a deep breath. They looked at Old Snakeface on the ground with disbelief. It must be known that Old Snakeface was a celebrity in the Forbidden Path Sect’s territory. People have heard of his name. He was also an expert among Teleportation Stage Experts. There were several Teleportation Stage Experts that died in his hands. Who could have known that he couldn’t even catch a single punch today? His bones were directly shattered, depleting his lifeforce and would soon take his life.
Thinking of this, everyone turned their heads towards the battlefield. They found Zhao Hai standing there with a calm expression. Looking at the corpses of Old Snakeface and Young Master Green Snake, he said, “If you don’t have the strength, don’t dare steal other people’s belongings. Or else you’re just looking for death.” Then he waved his hand and took the two corpses and sent them to the Space. Then he looked around before walking back towards Demonheart City.
When Zhao Hai walked back, people around him unconsciously made way. Those who were thinking of getting some bargains from the fight were terrified. They felt that Zhao Hai was looking at them with a gaze as sharp as swords. It was as if he could tell what they were thinking.
What Zhao Hai said wasn’t for the two dead cultivators, but for the spectators. He knew that there were people who coveted his Bloodless Command Token among the spectators. So he killed Old Snakeface in an overboard manner to let these people know what would happen if they tried to rob him.
Zhao Hai believed that the true powerful beings didn’t have any interest in his Bloodless Command Token. For those people, such tokens weren’t needed. And those who weren’t strong enough to depend on their strength were too weak to take the token from Zhao Hai. In any case, Zhao Hai was afraid of killing a lot of people to spread his message.
In the past, Zhao Hai was very low key since he was afraid of being known. But there was no need right now. Zhao Hai wasn’t afraid of being identified. Naturally, what other people would find out was his false status. There was no need to cover such information. Killing a few people was enough to establish his prestige, which would also be good for him.
As Zhao Hai walked back to Demonheart City, a group of people hurriedly caught up. Zhao Hai looked and saw Liu Zhen and the others. They were currently walking forward with anxious faces. They were all holding weapons, clearly ready to fight people.
Seeing their appearance, Zhao Hai immediately knew what they were planning. Liu Zhen and the others weren’t as fast as him. When they left the Blood Knife Gang, Zhao Hai had already left the city. They must have heard that Zhao Hai wanted to fight Old Snakeface. They were afraid that something would happen to Zhao Hai, so they left with a few people for support.
Their action couldn’t help but affect Zhao Hai. It must be known that Liu Zhen and the others were ordinary Earth Monarchs. Even if there were 100 of them, they wouldn’t be able to contend against Teleportation Stage Experts. However, upon knowing that Zhao Hai went to fight Old Snakeface outside the city, they went out with no hesitation. Zhao Hai made sure to remember this gesture.
Seeing Zhao Hai walking back, Liu Zhen and Yu Linfeng couldn’t help but relax. They immediately rushed forward and went to Zhao Hai’s side. Liu Zhentian inspected Zhao Hai and said, “Little Hai, are you alright? Where are those two? What about the Teleportation Stage Expert?”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “Brother Liu, don’t worry, I’m fine. Those two have already been killed by me. You don’t need to worry.”
Liu Zhen stared, he looked at Zhao Hai in confusion, “Killed by you? You’re telling me that you killed a Teleportation Stage Expert?”
Zhao Hai waved his hand, then two corpses appeared on the ground. The two corpses were Old Snakeface and Young Master Green Snake. Originally, Zhao Hai wanted to turn them into Undead. However, Zhao Hai thought that these kinds of situations would come, so he kept the two as corpses for now.
Seeing the two corpses on the ground, Liu Zhen and the others were stunned. Zhao Hai said that he had Teleportation Stage Strength, but they didn’t believe it until now!
