Chapter 1240: A Simple Question with Deadly Consequences
Their screams were loud but didn’t last. In less than 2 seconds, over 7,000 warriors were devoured by the darkness filled with the power of death.
Even the Heavenly Ascension warriors rushing to the city survived only because they reacted quickly. Some even burned their life force to free themselves from the insidious darkness.
Of course, not all of them came out alive.
For a moment, everything turned quiet.
CRACK
The sound of something breaking broke the silence. It echoed in the darkness, travelling as far as thousands of kilometres.
CRACK
A second crack appeared, and this time it was accompanied by a voice so chilling that when it was heard, everyone took a step back.
"So killing my mother isn’t enough. You had to kill her people, too." This voice, Yun Wusheng instantly recognised it.
Of course he did. After all, he had heard it many times in the past when he was a loving husband and a good father. He heard it many times when the owner was young and innocent.
Then, when she became a teenager, he heard it many times. Even when she became an adult woman ready to rely on herself, he heard it many times, too.
In fact, although he has many wives, he recognised the voice that spoke because, in the past, on one warm evening about 10,000 years ago, this voice promised to return one day and kill him.
So when he heard it again, he recognised it.
However, unlike 10,000 years ago when he sneered and ordered his lieutenant to shoot his own daughter through the chest, this time, he felt fear.
But his fear only deepened when a man also spoke in a somewhat joking tone... "Looks like you losers are fucked."
CRACK
A third crack sounded in the air, and that was when Liora made her appearance. She was clad in leather armour designed to look more stylish than armour should.
It clung to her skin, bringing out her sinful body.
Below where she stood, the void cracked, forming spider webs. Her expression was cold, and the aura of death could be seen emanating from her body.
She locked her gaze on Yun Wusheng, who trembled looking into the eyes of the daughter he had tried to kill 10,000 years ago after he killed her mother... his own wife.
"Hello, pops, looks like you have fallen even deeper than before." Liora chuckled... then added in a voice filled with disdain... "What a waste of life."
Yun Wusheng would like to be angry at Liora for calling him a waste of life. However, looking at the dark aura coming off her, he dared not.
Of course, while he wasn’t alone in the endeavour to suppress the Sky Fox race, he knew Liora didn’t come alone. He heard a second voice, that of a male. That voice may have sounded amused, but he had lived long enough to sense danger when he heard one.
So he only stood there with all his thoughts burning in his head. He dared not speak them out loud...
Liora smirked as if she could read his mind and instead turned to Tianpeng... "I have always disliked you," Liora said, her expression turning from disdain to intent to kill.
"I don’t know if it was your ugly looks or the fact that you dress like a woman, but I always dreamt of the day I would torture you by skinning you alive. Today, my dream will be fulfilled."
Tianpeng flinched and was about to say something or maybe make a run for it. Either way, before he could make any move, a handsome dragon man appeared and placed his hand on his shoulder...
"No, not so fast, buddy. My wife needs you alive to be tortured."
Kent’s hand moved and knocked Tianpeng out. It was quick and decisive — happened in under a second.
Seeing this, all the Beast warriors panicked. However, before any of them could move, Kent waved his hand, and a powerful pressure fell on them, halting everyone in their place.
Every last one of them broke into cold sweats instantly.
"It will be comforting to accept that none of you will be leaving here today, so relax and wait for your death." He turned and gave a wink at Liora, who blushed but quickly returned to her cold self.
Kent just smiled and threw Tianpeng into the mountain garden, where Uncle Drew and the four demigods were having their afternoon tea.
Naturally, staying with Kent was a better idea. Once he wakes up, he would wish he had never laid a finger on the Sky Fox.
But by then, it would be too late for him.
On Planet Tianxu, Liora turned back to Yun Wusheng... "I only have one question for you. You would do well to answer because failure to give me the answer I seek will result in a pain so painful your soul would wish death came early."
Yun Wusheng trembled; however, he didn’t have the luxury even to make a peep...
Liora went ahead and asked her question... "Why did you kill my mother?"
Yun Wusheng didn’t dare lie. He quickly answered the question he was asked...
"I killed your mother for the Supreme Sky Fox Inheritance."
Liora’s expression changed instantly. She made a grabbing motion, and from the ground, Yun Wusheng felt his life pierced by an invisible force.
The feeling was piercing and instant. He felt his body lifted off the ground, and before he knew it, he was face-to-face with Liora.
"You killed my mother because of a myth." Her voice was cold like ice and piercing like a dagger. Yun Wusheng felt his soul shudder, threatening to abandon him.
"It isn’t a myth. Your mother found the Supreme Sky Fox inheritance. However, she never got to use it because..."
"Because you killed her."
"She was supposed to give it to me as she promised. However, when she found it, she instead gave it to you." Yun Wusheng’s jealousy and lust for power gave him the energy to raise his voice at Liora.
A long time ago, he was supposed to receive the inheritance that every last Sky Fox wished to possess. In his mind, he was the one meant to have it despite being a Human.
It was a promise the Fox Priestess made him when she married him as a contract to gain the protection of the Humans.
However, when what he sought was found, instead of giving it to him, the Fox Priestess gave it to her daughter, who had no idea she possessed something even the Supremes would lust after.
"So you killed my mother over something that can never be yours in the first place. You are no Fox, yet you thought something that belongs to Foxes can be yours."
Yun Wusheng felt his back break into sweat. The confidence he gathered just now crumbled. Fear overwhelmed his mind and body.
"I am going to kill you, but first, watch me slaughter every last warrior that followed you here." Liora tapped his forehead, and his body was frozen in place.
Two daggers appeared in her hands, and a half mask that only covered her mouth up to her nose appeared on her face.
In an instant, she went from a beauty to a deadly beauty dressed in black,
