Chapter 937
Chapter 937: My Name Is Sky Execution
"Is it funny? Keep laughing then!" This ruthless mocking voice was as cold as ice, as chilling as frost, as sharp as a needle and as lethal as an arrow.
The remark went straight for the heart.
It stung even more than putting saltwater over a whip that was swung mercilessly over skin!
Immediately, the Heaven Ranked powerhouse who provoked trouble was disgraced.
Not only him, but also the friends around him and the people who laughed along with the intention to flatter the ‘strong’, all collectively felt ashamed.
Tolerate?
They couldn’t tolerate it in the slightest!
This kind of bare slap in the face was unbearable to say the least!
If he was not a Heaven Ranked powerhouse, then he could choose to swallow his temper and become a turtle to crawl back into his shell— that’s fine. Although the others might feel disdained, they wouldn’t dare to say anything. However, as a Heaven Ranked powerhouse of the 3rd Level, if he didn’t even dare to respond to the prompts and insults of the enemy, where could he ever venture to if this incident spread like wildfire? All of his companions would look at him with the eyes of ‘look at that coward’?
He knew that he was going to jump into the trap. He knew that the enemy was provoking him intentionally, just like the way he knew that the enemy was no easy target to provoke.
But he had no chance of compromising.
So, he gritted his teeth.
The Heaven Ranked powerhouse, whose body was originally stagnant, erupted with earth-shattering power. His aura was like a volcanic eruption and the shockwave shook the audience like a hurricane. Between the twists and turns, his fist was like a shooting star. It would be too late to catch it as it had already pierced through the air.
"Hmph, go to hell!" The provocative Heaven Ranker launched an attack and his fists were like shooting stars. Taking advantage of the his anger, he spurred the murderous intention and charge backwards.
"Amazing…"
"It’s Meteor Breaking Fist!"
"This kind of power explodes in an instant and it is not something that an ordinary person can take. It seems that Hu Lei’s strength had reached the peak of the Heaven Rank’s 3rd Level. Even those equipped with the same strength as him would find it difficult to resist him. In the battle just now, Hu Lei did not go all out at all. So, the unfortunate ranker was killed as a last attempt by the Bull Brothers not because he was unable to rescue him, but because Hu Lei and the others deliberately hid their strength? If someone hadn’t intercepted him, Hu Lei might not have shown his true strength!"
A few companions who used to stand not far from the provocative Heaven Ranker, in addition to avoiding the magnitude of the shockwave, also have their own concerns.
Even the Chief Steward, Leader Jin and the others who were watching the battle from a distance had their eyes flickering back and forth.
Their thoughts were quick, but his punch was faster!
At the moment when everyone’s thoughts arose, the fist of the Heaven Ranker Hu Lei suddenly increased its speed again.
Just like a shooting star that was too fast to catch, sped up by leaps and bounds as it slid past the line of sight. It completely disappeared from sight, making it impossible for anyone to track it merely with their eyesights.
"Thwack!"
A dull crash sounded.
The deafening roar that the people imagined never came; there was only an unexpected sound that indicated some sort of contact. It didn’t sound like a fist’s punch, but like a person being slapped in the face. Everyone was stunned at first and when they focused their attention, they took a closer look at the field. There, they saw Hu Lei, a 3rd Level Heaven Ranker paired with the ‘Meteor Breaking Fist’ that he had blasted with the greatest amount of strength he could muster, was caught in the opponent’s sole hand.
The most fearful thing was not the fact that the man was able to catch this incredible punch with one hand.
Instead, the other party still had the time and strength to spare, so he slapped Hu Lei in the face!
The crowd knew how difficult it was to be able to slap this 3rd Level Heaven Ranker, let alone the fact that the man had received and stopped the Meteor Breaking Fist before doing so. Everyone was shocked and Hu Lei, who now sported an angry red mark across his cheek, was no exception!
What kind of pervert was this guy?
The crowd watched intently.
It was discovered that the person who calmly caught Hu Lei’s Meteor Breaking Fist with one hand was a cool-looking, handsome and an unusually young human man. No words could be used to describe this person’s demeanour. Instead, they felt that this guy did not seem like a person at all; rather, he resembled a sword, a piece of ice or a lightning bolt. In front of him, any weak thing seemed pale and powerless and the strong like Hu Lei, a powerhouse of the 3rd Level Heaven Rank, looked as pitiful as a ridiculous clown.
Compared to Hu Lei’s three-metre-tall body, this man’s body was naturally far more inferior.
But the strange thing was that the huge
"You, you- who are you?"
The provocative Hu Lei trembled as he now began to realise how seriously he messed up. Although he could run rampant in the Heavenly Splendour Territory due to his 3rd Level Heaven Ranked strength, he was nothing compared to this man with silver arcs all over his body.
If he wanted to kill Hu Lei, he could have done so— faster than the time needed to squish a bug!
Under the glaring eyes of the other party, Hu Lei felt his knees go weak as he had the urge to kneel and beg for mercy.
"My name is Sky Execution!"
When the human man who claimed to be Sky Execution raised his hand, Hu Lei was so frightened that he was almost blown away. It’s over, he would be instantly killed by the opponent as he had provoked an existence that was impossible to resist. Today, it seemed like death was inevitable for him! For a time, Hu Lei was in despair and even closed his eyes, waiting for death to come as he no longer struggled. He also knew that even if he struggled as hard as he could, he probably wouldn’t be able to delay his day even for half a second. At the moment when death was about to swallow his life, Hu Lei chose to endure the fear and wait for death instead of fighting in vain like a laughingstock.
Hu Lei’s companions and acquaintances all turned pale at this moment.
They knew that Hu Lei was the strongest man among them.
In addition to Tian Ri and Wo Shi, who were never present in this scene, Hu Lei was the 3rd most powerful amongst them. If he could be instantly killed by someone, what’s the point of having more people on their side? No matter how many gophers they scouted, how could they fight against lions?
The skinny Chief Steward Ye’s expression faltered and his gaze flickered anxiously.
His thoughts were occupied, but it wasn’t an easy thought like Hu Lei going to be killed; what he was thinking most intensely about was how mysterious this Young Master Titan was! He was the most important focal point, so what exactly is his identity? What was so domineering about him that managed to get the Sky Execution, who could have killed Hu lei instantly, to be on his side? Besides, the two others flanking on the sides of Sky Execution as well— although they were slightly weaker than Sky Execution himself, they were more than skilled to handle Hu Lei should the need ever arise. If these were just Young Master Titan’s guards, then the family clan behind him must be very important. Leader Jin was Yue Yang’s die-hard supporter, and that meant that Yue Yang’s safety and happiness could potentially affect Leader Jin’s future, which was why he demanded that Hu Lei remained silent,
He thought in his heart and didn’t dare to say it out aloud.
Now that Hu Lei was about to be killed by the guard of this Young Master Titan, Leader Jin was so moved that he almost cried. Yue Yang was so powerful and he was excited by the fact that he knew such an awesome person! ThisYoung Master Titan was too epic, the Country Lord himself probably couldn’t compare to him either! Sky Execution, who could kill Hu Lei in a matter of seconds, was his bodyguard; was there anything even more touching than this?
All of a sudden, Leader Jin became Yue Yang’s most ardent fan.
He was going to worship Yue Yang with his entire soul!
"Please stop," A voice as strong as gold and iron that was full of absolute confidence rang out. Right in front of Sky Execution, who was raising his right hand, a man appeared beside the weakly trembling Hu Lei. He wore casual clothes like ordinary warriors, but as long as he was not blind, Sky Execution could clearly see the nobility laced with his identity. His facial expressions were as resolute as a stone as he had a pair of extremely sharp eagle eyes, which seemed to be able to look directly into people’s hearts and figure them inside out. His nose bridge was extremely high and his silhouette was much rougher than that of ordinary people. His thick eyebrows and eagle eyes were in line, exuding a majestic power that swallowed the world.
Oddly enough, there wasn’t a trace of anger nor fury in his expression; instead, he wore a friendly smile.
He nodded again.
It is completely beyond the etiquette that a superior should have.
Of course, this was just a nod that was limited to a number of people such as Yue Yang and Sky Execution; not everyone was eligible to receive this rare form of respect.
As soon as this man with absolute confidence in his demeanour appeared, Chief Steward Ye, Leader Jin and the others lowered themselves to the ground long ago. That was because he was the King who ruled the entire country of Zhi Feng— the owner of the Green Willow City, the Country Lord of Zhi Feng!
"This King would like to apologise on behalf of Mr. Hu Lei. He and his companions have come from thousands of miles away as my guests. Although I have no intention to interfere with this Young Master, I have to humbly ask Young Master Titan and his brother Sky Execution to raise their benevolence and allow this mistake to pass. This King would like to bestow the Thousand Star Ring and the Swallowing Dragon Pearl as an apology. I hope that this kind of meagre gift, in the eyes of Young Master Titan and Brother Sky Execution, can turn battles into harmonies and wars into jade and silk," The Country Lord of Zhi Feng clapped his hands. Immediately, a personal guard of his that was at the 4th Level of the Heaven Rank appeared behind him, holding onto both Holy Ranked treasure.
"…" Sky Execution was cold and silent as he waited for Yue Yang to speak. His right hand even remained raised, not wanting to put it down. If Yue Yang refused to reconcile, he would immediately kill Hu Lei in front of the Country Lord of Zhi Feng as an example.
His attitude made even the Country Lord of Zhi Feng feel a chill in his heart.
How terrifying, what exactly was the origin of this Young Master Titan? To subdue someone like Sky Execution and make him feel obliged to serve…Everyone in the audience looked at Yue Yang with sweat and fury as they now understood one thing— the truly most terrifying person was not Sky Execution, but the seemingly Young Master Titan, whose strength did not seem to be at the Heaven Ranks. Fortunately, no one touched him before this, otherwise, the Green Willow City would be in danger of being overturned upside down! Him running out righteously to stop a group of Heaven Rankers and asking for the Bull Brothers was not an act of impulse; it was because he had the ability to do so!
Naturally, student Yue Yang’s skill to act flippantly was naturally something that no one dared to question.
Since Sky Execution cooperated as such, he naturally took the opportunity to bear the position.
First, he took a few steps old-fashionedly and coughed. Then, he acted as if he just saw the Country Lord as he waved, "This uncle, are you the Country Lord of Zhi Feng? Well fine then, to beat the dog, I must see who the owner is after all. Coming from a famous family that boasts of education and connotations, naturally, I can’t afford to behave the same way as a mad dog. Since Uncle Country Lord of Zhi Feng is already begging for his sake, I’ll leave things like that then. Sky Execution, you guys can all go about your business; by following me all day, I can’t bully anyone at all!"
"Your wish is my command," Sky Execution and the two invisible Dragon Emperor and Underworld Emperor behind him nodded in cooperation and turned to leave.
"Please wait…" Country Lord Zhi Feng still wanted Sky Execution and the other two to stay behind. Their strengths would be on par or even greater than the Country Lord himself, so he definitely couldn’t pass up the opportunity to befriend them.
