Asura Sovereign VI

by Shian Jeen

  Wang Dong chuckled with understanding, giving Huwang Xiao a thumbs up sign, “Skillful, who knows, when we arrive at the Blessed Buddha Temple, Princess Shi Xiaofei would be attracted to you because of your two guards, perhaps she would give an extra look in our direction.”

  Huwang Xiao laughed, “Who says not.”

  Just like this, the group proceeded to the Blessed Buddha Temple. Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu followed behind Huwang Xiao, it had been a long time since they saw the Sovereign so happy.

  A short while later, the group arrived at the Blessed Buddha Temple.

  The Blessed Buddha Temple was built on a large piece of land. Looking at the temple from afar, various sizes of temple structures weaved like layers of waves. In front of the entrance to the temple was a large square that could hold five to six thousand people, but even so, the square felt small and crowded due to the mass of people.

  Men and women, the various styles and colors were a dizzying sight.

  There were a total of eight entrances to the temple, each wide enough to accommodate ten people entering and exiting at once.

  Above the center of the entrance, were three characters inscribed in ancient text: Blessed Buddha Temple. On the wall surfaces were paintings of ancient Buddha statues and scenes depicting activities related to Buddhism. Even before Huwang Xiao stepped inside the temple, he could feel the buoyant marrow of Buddhism. Smoke from joss sticks and incense curled in the air.

  “Bro, hurry, to the Blessed Buddha Hall!” Wang Dong led Huwang Xiao, weaving through the lively square, entering Blessed Buddha Temple as he explained, “Princes Shi Xiaofei comes to Blessed Buddha Temple mainly to pray to the Blessed Buddha statue in the Blessed Buddha Hall. So, we must hurry there to get a spot with a good view.”

  Huwang Xiao smiled helplessly at Wang Dong’s sense of urgency.

  Yet Huwang Xiao noticed that the men were all moving in the same direction as Wang Dong in the same hurried footsteps, towards the Blessed Buddha Hall. They passed through corridors after corridors led by Wang Dong, finally reaching the Blessed Buddha Hall.

  However, by the time Huwang Xiao’s group arrived, there was a sea of people, squeezing in the small square in front of the Blessed Buddha Hall, trying to enter.

  Disappointment shadowed Wang Dong’s face, “We’re late, we won’t even catch a glimpse of Shi Xiaofei’s maids’ backside.”

  Huwang Xiao laughed, “Don’t worry.” When he said that, the two giant puppets behind him moved to the front, opening a path through the sea of people for Huwang Xiao. Wang Dong was delighted seeing the tightly squeezed crowd moving away, opening a path as the two guards moved forth.

  Moments later, Huwang Xiao’s group entered the Blessed Buddha Hall, straight to the front row. As per Wang Dong’s reasoning, grabbing a good spot, at that time not only could they see Shi Xiaofei’s butt and her face, even her breasts could be seen!

  Obviously, the spot Huwang Xiao’s group was at could enjoy a full view. Wang Dong’s heart bloomed fully as he stood in the spot of his dreams, the smile hanging on his face was like a sunflower in bloom, brilliant and smug.

  However, the doors to the Blessed Buddha Temple were tightly closed, causing a frown on Huwang Xiao’ brows. He mainly wanted to worship the Blessed Buddha statue coming to this Blessed Buddha Temple, as for Princess Shi Xiaofei and what-not, he wasn’t really interested.

  Noticing Huwang Xiao’s expression, Wang Dong explained, “Because Princess Shi Xiaofei will come to worship the Blessed Buddha statue every year, the temple allows her to enter first, when she is done with praying and offering joss sticks, only then will others be allowed in.”

  So, that was the reason.

  Then, a commotion swept through the crowd.

  “Princess Shi Xiaofei is here!”

  Princess Shi Xiaofei’s arrival triggered the hormones of the crowd into overdrive, excited gasps and exclamation undulated in the square.

  Ch.379

  Hearing the ruckus outside, Wang Dong couldn’t help being affected by the excitement, his neck was craned long as a giraffe trying to see the situation outside.

  Seeing his reaction, Huwang Xiao was speechless at his side.

  “She’s here, she’s here!” Suddenly, Wang Dong’s sprightly voice sounded.

  Huwang Xiao looked over, in direction locked on by the sea of energetic men, a young woman in white was walking over.

  Her eyes resembled clear sparkling water, milky white skin, hair twisted into a simple knot that was secured with a simple jasper hairpin of dragon and phoenix, the white dress narrowed at the waist, showing off her slim figure. A beauty untouched by the mundane world, akin to a celestial maiden that came out of a painting.

  This was Shi Xiaofei!

  Blessed Buddha Empire’s number one beauty, also Snow Wind Continent’s greatest beauty!

  Huwang Xiao was stupefied for a moment, for Shi Xiaofei’s features bore some resemblance to Li Lu.

  Shi Xiaofei walked across the square towards the Blessed Buddha Hall with six demure maids behind her.

  The noisy, frenzied Blessed Buddha Hall square quieted down abruptly.

  From afar, Shi Xiaofei was a flawless beauty, like a goddess in a painting, upon closer observation, her beauty was even more breathtaking, enough to steal one’s soul, and feel ashamed of their own imperfection.

  All blooming flowers lost their brilliance before her.

  Everyone was so quiet that Huwang Xiao had the illusion of hearing the hearts of families’ disciples racing badump badump loudly, even Huwang Xiao did not imagine that a woman could be this beautiful. Although Li Lu was pretty, she still lost half a point to this Shi Xiaofei.

  Perhaps due to Huwang Xiao’s giant puppets towering over others, much taller than anyone present and extremely eye-catching amongst the sea of people, they inevitably drew Shi Xiaofei’s eyes.

  A faint light rippled in her clear eyes at what she saw.

  It was as if Wang Dong was struck by lightning, eyes sluggish and out of focus, muttering to himself, “Stunning, too beautiful!” He was actually drooling.

  Due to the quiet surroundings, Wang Dong’s voice sounded unexpectedly loud, instantly drawing everyone’s attention to him.

  Huwang Xiao smiled a bitter, helpless smile. Although he had experienced many things, and wasn't someone with thin-skin, at this moment, however, he dearly wished for a hole to open under him so he could drill inside.

  Watching the saliva drooling out of Wang Dong’s mouth and the undisguised perverted look, a hint of disgust flickered in Shi Xiaofei’s eyes. She had seen too many of those kinds of family disciples, and it was also the kind that she loathed the most, her dislike also included Huwang Xiao who was standing beside Wang Dong.

  Although the giant puppet guards behind Huwang Xiao were very eye-catching, cool, mighty, and Huwang Xiao himself was a handsome young man, unfortunately, they only looked impressive but lacked substance. They were questionable characters of average skills at most, those kind of disciples that stirred trouble everywhere were the kind that Shi Xiaofei looked down on the most.

  In that split second, Shi Xiaofei formed her impression of Wang Dong and Huwang Xiao.

  The flash of disgust in Shi Xiaofei’s eyes disappeared quickly but Huwang Xiao still caught it, he shook his head inwardly, it seems this time he was grouped together with Wang Dong, losing marks in Shi Xiaofei’s book.

  However, it didn’t matter to Huwang Xiao whether he left a good impression on Shi Xiaofei, he didn’t plan to have any connection with her from the beginning.

  Just when Shi Xiaofei was about to open the Blessed Buddha Hall door to begin the prayers, a loud commotion sounded from outside. Voices clamoring, screams and cries, all reverberated at once.

  “What is happening?” Shi Xiaofei turned around, a tiny frown formed on her delicate brows, someone dared to cause trouble here in the Blessed Buddha Temple? The families disciples’ throats itched at Shi Xiaofei’s expression.

  Even a sma
ll frown was mesmerizing enough to move people’s hearts.

  “Let’s go out and see what’s happening.” Shi Xiaofei said to her maids, stepping away from the Blessed Buddha Hall square.

  Seeing this, all the families disciples quickly followed suit.

  Huwang Xiao saw that Wang Dong’s gaze was fixed on Shi Xiaofei’s back figure, the target seemed to be Shi Xiaofei’s butt? He couldn’t decide whether he should be angry or laugh at Wang Dong. Dropping a knock on Wang Dong’s head, he said, “Still looking? Come on, let’s go.”

  Only then did Wang Dong wake up from his bloop.

  At this time, at the front main entrance of the Blessed Buddha Temple, Prince Tai Gan waved his hand at the prince palace guards he brought over, “Seal every entrance and exit of the temple.”

  “Yes, Your Highness!”

  The prince palace guards separated, each moving to block all exits.

  Chen Chen stared at the Blessed Buddha Temple’s entrance, then turned to the Chen Family Elder, “Are you sure, that they are inside this Blessed Buddha Temple right now?”

  The Blessed Buddha Temple was built to worship the Blessed Buddha Emperor, without confirming that those people were inside, there would be repercussions if he rushed in recklessly searching and attacking.

  That Chen Family Elder nodded, “Replying to Patriarch, the other side is inside the Blessed Buddha Hall!”

  At this time, Shi Xiaofei appeared at the entrance leading to the Blessed Buddha Hall, with a large group of families’ disciple trailing behind her.

  Spotting Shi Xiaofei, Prince Tai Gan went forward in greeting: “Princess.”

  Chen Chen followed right after Prince Tai Gan, greeting Princess in a respectful manner. Chen Chen was a Saint realm expert and also Chen Family’s Patriarch at the same time, which exempted him from having to kneel in salute.

  “Royal Uncle, what happened?” Seeing the temple surrounded by the prince palace guards, Shi Xiaofei couldn’t help asking.

  Shi Tai Gan explained, “It’s like this, earlier, Chen Family’s Eldest Young Master was murdered in the Buddhist House restaurant, we found out that the killer is here in the Blessed Buddha Temple now.”

  “Chen Family’s Eldest Young Master was murdered!” Shi Xiaofei’s eyes widened in shock. The families’ disciples were aghast hearing the news.

  Chen Family’s Eldest Young Master was murdered! This definitely was news that would cause a huge wave in the Blessed Buddha Empire!

  Exactly at this point, Wang Dong and Huwang Xiao passed through the Blessed Buddha Hall’s doorway.

  All of a sudden, someone shouted, “That’s him, he’s the one who killed Chen Family’s Eldest Young Master Chen Luoguang!” That person pointed his finger.

  Shi Xiaofei and everyone’s gazes followed the direction of the finger.

  When Shi Xiaofei saw Huwang Xiao, surprise flashed in her eyes, “Him?!” Then she shook her head secretly, sure enough, looks impressive but has no substance, questionable character of average skill. A person that didn’t realize the severity of killing Chen Family’s Eldest Young Master, didn’t he know that it would bring disastrous consequences to his family? Which family did this guy come from…

  A combination of thoughts sped past Shi Xiaofei’s mind in an instant.

  A sharp gleam burst in Chen Chen’s eyes, asking the person who spoke earlier, “It’s that punk?” The killing intent in his heart erupted.

  This person was none other than the Buddhist House restaurant waiter, brought over by Chen Chen.

  The Buddhist House restaurant waiter nodded assuredly, “No mistake, that’s him and his two guards, it cannot be wrong!” It was too easy to recognize the two giant guards behind Huwang Xiao, which was why the waiter was able to point Huwang Xiao out immediately, extremely confident.

  Wang Dong was served a severe jolt from the remnants of his daze, staring at Huwang Xiao, his tongue twisted into a knot, “Br—bro, you, you killed Chen Family’s Eldest Young Master?!”

  Huwang Xiao laughed, “What do you think?”

  Wang Dong’s legs went weak, nearly fainting on the spot hearing Huwang Xiao’s retort. At the same time, all the families’ disciples in close proximity moved away hastily in fear of being convicted by association.

  While everyone was running away from Huwang Xiao, Chen Chen bellowed, his palms striking out at Huwang Xiao: “Die! Infinite Sea Palm!” Boundless palm power shattered space, raising an insurmountable great wave, crashing down on Huwang Xiao.

  Wang Dong was right beside Huwang Xiao, right in the sphere of attack. When Wang Dong saw the tidal wave overcasting the sky, his face paled, legs shaking uncontrollably.

  Chen Family’s Patriarch, Chen Chen’s Infinite Sea Palm was a high-grade Heaven rank battle skill, it contained enough power to shatter a mountain. This was common knowledge for the subjects of Blessed Buddha Empire. And Patriarch Chen Chen broke through the Saint realm more than a hundred years ago, he was a Fourth Order Saint realm expert.

  Ch.380

  Shi Xiaofei was astonished that Chen Chen would attack himself, moreover, using the high-grade Heaven rank battle skill that made him famous in the first attack. Not even she could take the attack head-on with her current strength.

  She shook her head in secret watching Huwang Xiao, this handsome looking young man, almost perfect judging by appearance was bound to die regardless. However, these kinds of family disciples ended up the same way sooner or later for provoking people that they couldn't afford to provoke.

  Similar thoughts were running through the minds of the surrounding crowd, everyone was absolutely sure in their hearts that this black-haired young man would die!

  Schadenfreude light shone from those disciples’ eyes.

  Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu looked at the overpowering wave about to submerge them and were about to act, planning to kill Chen Chen with a single strike when Huwang Xiao’s impassive voice sounded: “Both of you don't need to attack!”

  No need to attack! Hearing Huwang Xiao’s order, Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu halted their action.

  Chen Chen’s Infinite Sea Palm was getting closer and closer to Huwang Xiao. In between, Huwang Xiao raised his head, looking at Chen Chen, at that moment, Chen Chen and Huwang Xiao’s eyes met.

  What surprised Chen Chen was that from Huwang Xiao’s eyes, what he saw was not fear, desperation, or panic, but indifferent calmness!

  Yes, indifferent calmness! Laced deep within the calmness was a hint of disdain.

  Disdain, it was as if those eyes were saying that Chen Chen overestimated himself!

  After a brief second of surprise, the anger in Chen Chen burned ever more furiously, pushing his Saint power to the limit.

  His Infinite Sea Palm finally landed on Huwang Xiao’s chest. When the palm landed, in the sky above the Blessed Buddha Temple square, the blast of countless waves crashing against the bed of rocks echoed for a long time.

  Watching this, the families’ disciples around shook their heads while the corners of their mouths curved up in a faint smile.

  “When I saw that kid being so calm, I thought he must be an expert, a tiger pretending to be a pig, it seems I was cheated, it was nothing more than a polished appearance!”

  “What do they call this? This is called pretentious prick, didn’t you see that Princess Shi Xiaofei is also here? Perhaps someone wants to attract the beauty’s eye, purposely putting on an act!”

  “But this price is too high for a second of showing off. Patriarch Chen’s Infinite Sea Palm, other than our Emperor, the number of people who can take a hit from it doesn’t exceed three!”

  Contempt and ridicule rained down on Huwang Xiao.

  Shi Xiaofei shook her head.

  In the beginning, she had thought this black-haired young man would be able to at least react, try blocking by raising his arm or something. But now, being struck by Chen Chen’s Infinite Sea Palm, it was too late for any reaction.

  Then, shocked exclamations undulated in the square.

  Baffled, Shi Xiaofei raised her head and her eyes grew wider and wider every second as she stood there, dumbfounded.

  The fear-stricken Wang Dong stared stupefied at Huwang Xiao’s back, mumbling to himself: “He, he took it?!”

  Ignoring the crowd, Huwang Xiao looked coldly at Chen Chen, then at the palm print Chen Chen made on his chest, speaking with a voice that was just as cold as his eyes, “Infinite Sea Palm? High-grade Heaven rank battle skill? Patriarch Chen, your Infinite Sea Palm is only this much?” He stood there, like an everlasting mountain.

  Huwang Xiao’s physique toughness was enhanced to a scary level when he advanced to Saint realm, and later, when he refined the Dragon Pearl, his body was rebuilt by the Dragon Pearl and true dragon essence, making it even more terrifying. It could be said without any exaggeration that Huwang Xiao’s physique would shock even the ancient Dragon Emperor.

  Chen Chen stared at Huwang Xiao with disbelief, looking at his own palm, “No, impossible. How can this be!”

  He was a late-Fourth Order Saint realm! Even a Fifth Order Saint realm expert would be gravely injured being struck by his Infinite Sea Palm! But this black-haired young man, how could it be…!

  Huwang Xiao sneered, “In this world, there is nothing that is impossible!” The tiny symbol at the center of Huwang Xiao’s brows from the Dragon Pearl glimmered, Chen Chen immediately felt as if he was drowning an overwhelming dragon might that originated from the primordial era.

  “How about you also take a hit from me!” Huwang Xiao’s voice cut through the Chen Chen’s mind, a fist punched out.

  A glaring golden light burst out from Huwang Xiao’s fist, so bright that the crowd could barely see that an enormous golden dragon flew out accompanying Huwang Xiao’s punch.

  Terrified, Chen Chen punched out to block Huwang Xiao’s attack. Their fists collided in a split second.

  Kacha—!

  The crowd heard a clear sound of bones breaking, then they saw Chen Chen’s right arm that he used to block Huwang Xiao’s punch actually twisted to the back! The entire arm bones pierced out of Chen Chen’s back.
