Asura Sovereign 5

by Shian Jeen

  Hu Sheng, as the Young Lord of Nine Fiend Sect, was actually injured within Black Demon City! And his lower part was actually stomped into…?!

  Death! Lin SHuwang’s eyes glowed with a dark menacing light.

  But before Lin SHuwang’s surging battle qi could peak, before he managed to make a move, a figure blurred, in the next moment, powerful fists struck. Lin SHuwang was startled, hands moving to block, yet a pulsating pain traveled from his chest. He stared disbelief at the pair of fists sticking to his chest. After a momentary pause, warm liquid rolled up Lin SHuwang’s throat, and he spurted blood as his body staggered back until he reached the edge of the street, where he fell.

  Huwang Xiao retrieved his fists, his eyes coldly observed the fallen Lin SHuwang. Everyone stared dazedly at Lin SHuwang’s figure slumped on the street. The Nine Fiend Sect’s number three, Lin SHuwang, was injured in one move by Huwang Xiao! Lin SHuwang was a peak late-Xiantian Seventh Order warrior!

  Including Xu Gai, Chen Nianhua, and Lu Yi, who arrived with Lin SHuwang, stood frozen on the spot, whereas the two Sky Magi Sect disciples were flabbergasted.

  Moments later, Xu Gao, Chen Nianhua, and Lu Yi recovered.

  “Elder Lin!” Exclaiming in shock, all three of them swiftly rushed over to Lin SHuwang’s side, helping Lin SHuwang up.

  However, while they were busy assisting Lin SHuwang, a silhouette flickered. The three, Xu Gao, Chen Nianhua, and Lu Yi did not relax their vigilance, whirling around, all three were shocked to see a bright Buddha luminescence and Buddha statues. As if hit by a storm, Xu Gao, Chen Nianhua, and Lu Yi were sent flying; Lin SHuwang who was just being helped up was sent flying as well.

  Apart from Lin SHuwang, amongst the Elder trio, the strongest was only an early Xiantian Seventh Order. Relying on Huwang Xiao’s current strength, executing Phantom Shadow, his speed was comparable to an early Xiantian Eighth Order. Not to mention the three Elders, even Lin SHuwang would find it hard to capture Huwang Xiao’s movements.

  With one Earthen Buddha Palm, Huwang Xiao sent the four of them flying, slowly walking towards them after they landed. In fact, with Lin SHuwang’s strength, if it weren’t due to his carelessness, he could have withstood several moves from Huwang Xiao, but it was too late now, he was already injured and barely had any strength to resist.

  Looking down at the four people, a cold light flashed in Huwang Xiao’s eyes as he summoned the Blades of Asura; seeing the ominous black blades in Huwang Xiao’s hands, all four became ashen with obvious fear written on their faces.

  “You!” Lin SHuwang and the other three struggled to stand up, grasping for a chance to escape, Huwang Xiao waved the Blades of Asura, cold lights gleamed in midair. Almost simultaneously, four different screaming voices sounded at once.

  The two Sky Magi Sect disciples and the surrounding crowd were petrified to see blood gushing out from Lin SHuwang and the other three Nine Fiend Sect Elder’s throats, covering the ground below them red in an instant.

  Countless shocked gasps sounded from the crowd.

  This Lin SHuwang was the Nine Fiend Sect Sovereign Hu Han’s left and right-hand man, a confidante through and through. Xu Gao, Chen Nianhua, and Lu Yi were highly loyal to Hu Han, and since Huwang Xiao had decided to destroy the Nine Fiend Sect, he killed these four without hesitation to weaken Hu Han’s forces.

  After killing the four people, Huwang Xiao paid no heed to the shocked eyes directed at him, he walked to where Hu Sheng was.

  Even now, Hu Sheng was still clutching his lower body in excruciating pain, noticing Huwang Xiao coming his way, the gloom of death seemed to descend on his face. Hu Sheng cried for mercy, “Don’t kill me, don’t kill me, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die!” He saw clearly how Huwang Xiao killed Lin SHuwang and the other three Elders.

  “Don’t worry, I won’t kill you.” Huwang Xiao’s cold voice sounded. Although this Hu Sheng deserved to die many times over, Huwang Xiao has a use for him, so he could temporarily keep his life.

  Hearing Huwang Xiao said he would not kill him, Hu Sheng were half frantic with joy. In his heart, Hu Sheng breathed out in relief; in his opinion, he was the Nine Fiend Sect’s Young Lord, Huwang Xiao must feel apprehensive, that was why he didn’t dare to kill him. Thinking through this point, a killing intent flitted across Hu Sheng’s heart; wait till his father and the other Nine Fiend Sect experts arrive, he would repay Huwang Xiao, a thousand, ten thousand times over.

  Huwang Xiao sneered detecting the flickering lights in Hu Sheng’s eyes, guessing the thoughts in Hu Sheng’s mind, he laughed sarcastically in silence. Stepping up, Huwang Xiao sealed Hu Sheng’s cultivation using acupuncture, then he dragged Hu Sheng back to the Sky Magi Sect’s headquarters.

  Being dragged across the street’s surface, Hu Sheng’s lower body scrapped due to friction, resulting in a chain of wails and screams ringing in the air. It wasn’t until some distance far away that the two Sky Magi Sect disciples came back to their senses, and quickly chased up behind Huwang Xiao. Both disciples wanted to stop Huwang Xiao, yet neither was brave enough.

  ...

  The Nine Fiend Sect headquarters grand hall.

  Hu Han sat on the Sovereign throne, his brows were tightly locked together. It had been quite a while since Lin SHuwang and the others went out, why weren’t they back yet?

  Sitting on the seat a head lower than Hu Han was a charming lady with hands of marmoreal skin, but the nails on her hands were noticeably longer than normal, furthermore, they were green in color, like jade. This was the Nine Fiend Sect’s second-in-command, Su Meimei. Her strength was only weaker than Hu Han.

  “Sovereign, should I go take a look?” Seeing Hu Han’s expression, Su Meimei volunteered. Lin SHuwang and the other three Elders taking such a long time baffled her as well.

  “Sovereign, with Elder Lin’s strength, there is only Blood Swallow School’s Jiang Tianhua that could be his opponent in the entire Black Demon City.” At this time, a Nine Fiend Sect Elder stood up, saying “Therefore, Sovereign and Deputy need not worry, I think Elder Lin and the rest will return very soon.”

  Hu Han nodded in agreement. Indeed, other than himself and Su Meimei, only Blood Swallow School’s Doyen could be Lin SHuwang’s opponent in the entire Black Demon City. Thinking of this point, Hu Han relaxed.

  However, at this time, a Nine Fiend Sect disciple ran into the grand hall all flustered, agitated, and anxious. Seeing this disciple’s expression, Hu Han’s heart sank.

  All the Nine Fiend Sect Elders turned to look at that disciple.

  “Sovereign, it’s bad!” The instant the disciple ran into the grand hall, he fell to his knees, words flowing out of his mouth rapidly.

  “What happened?” Hu Han’s face was gloomy, snapping at the disciple.

  “Sovereign, Elder Lin, they, they, they were all killed!” That Nine Fiend Sect disciple blurted out with fear.

  “What?!” it was as if a bomb exploded in the grand hall. All the Nine Fiend Sect Elders revealed astonishment and confusion. Hu Han and Su Meimei both wore grave expression.

  “The Young Lord, where’s the Young Lord?!” Hu Han jumped up from his seat, hollering in anger.

  “The Young Lord, he was taken away by that person!” That Nine Fiend Sect disciple stammered.

  “Taken away?” Only then did Hu Han was relieved, taken away meant his son was still alive.

  “But, Young Lord, he, he…” That disciple hesitated to explain further.

  “Speak, what happened to the Young Lord?” Hu Han became nervous.

  “The Young Lord’s lower, lower part, is crippled.” The Nine Fiend Sect disciples quickly answered.

  The lower part ‘crippled’? All the Nine Fiend Sect Elders were stunned, each one showing a weird expression.

  Ch.272

  “What did you say?!” Hu Han roared in anger; with a quick flicker, his silhouette left the throne dais, appearing right in front of the Nine Fiend Sect disciple. Both hands reached out and lifted the discip
le up by the collar as a horrifying killing intent swirled out from Hu Han’s body like a hurricane.

  That Nine Fiend Sect disciple was so terrified that he lost all colors in his face.

  “YounㅡYoung Lord he, he…” The disciples stammered incoherently.

  Hu Han’s anger was further stoked with the disciple’s action, his palm slapped straight onto that disciple’s chest, sending the disciples tumbling on the floor all the way until the edge of the hall, where he hit a stone pillar, halting his movements.

  Struck by Hu Han, the disciple struggled to get up only to fall to his knees, begging for mercy, “Sovereign mercy, Sovereign mercy, ah!”

  Hu Han harrumphed curtly, “Speak, recount every detail of the event clearly!” If it wasn’t for him being anxious to know what happened, he would have killed this disciple with that palm just now.

  “Yes, yes, yes, Sovereign!” That Nine Fiend Sect disciple answered with dread as he quickly recounted in detail what he knew.

  Hearing that a young man punched his son’s chest and then went on to cripple his lower part, Hu Han’s face layered with frost, but when he heard that after Lin SHuwang and the other three Elders arrived, Lin SHuwang was actually injured by the young man, also with one punch, whereas the three, Xu Gao, Chen Nianhua, and Lu Yi were thrown off simultaneously with just one palm, Hu Han, Su Meimei, and the present Elders revealed expressions of astonishment.

  The Nine Fiend Sect disciple continued in a shaky voice, “After that black-haired young man injured the four Elders, he slit their throats with his blade; Elder Lin SHuwang and the other Elders were already killed before they even had time to escape.”

  Hu Han had an ugly expression on his face hearing this, unable to conceal the amazement from his eyes.

  “After that?” Hu Han asked solemnly.

  “After killing the four Elders, the black-haired young man then dragged the Young Lord away, in the Sky Magi Sect headquarters’ direction.” That disciple hastened to answer.

  “Sky Magi Sect’s headquarters?” Everyone present in the grand hall was stumped.

  “Could this black-haired young man be an expert the Sky Magi Sect Sovereign, Chen Xiaotian, hired?”

  “Regardless of whether he is or not, this black-haired young man is definitely connected to the Sky Magi Sect.” The Nine Fiend Sect Elders started to state their opinions one after another while Hu Han’s face grew gloomier by the second.

  It was obvious he was trying to figure out what that black-haired young man’s relationship with Sky Magi Sect was. If this black-haired young man was someone hired by Chen Xiaotian, what did they mean by holding his son? Was the Sky Magi Sect declaring war against the Nine Fiend Sect?

  Su Meimei was also pondering the matter as she sat quietly on the chair, not speaking a word.

  “Sovereign, regardless of who that brat is, since the Young Lord is being held in the Sky Magi Sect’s headquarters, then we shall surrounded the Sky Magi Sect this instant and rescue the Young Lord!” At this point, one of the Elders stood up proclaiming.

  Hu Han’s eyes flickered, tempted.

  “Deputy, what do you think?” Hu Han turned around, enquiring his second-in-command Su Meimei.

  Su Meimei said seriously, “Sovereign could first send a summon to Sky Magi Sect Sovereign, Chen Xiaotian, have him hand out the Young Lord, while you send people out to investigate that black-haired young man’s identity.”

  Hu Han nodded, Su Meimei’s opinion was the same as his. Attacking the Sky Magi Sect headquarters without knowing that black-haired young man’s identity was not a wise move. First, investigate that black-haired young man’s bottom line, annihilating him and the Sky Magi Sect at that time wouldn’t be too late!

  Not wasting time, Hu Han instructed one of the Nine Fiend Sect’s Elders to head out to Sky Magi Sect and tell Chen Xiaotian to hand over his son, Hu Sheng,while on the other hand, he sent some people out to investigate the black-haired young man.

  However, very soon, the Elder Hu Han sent out came back, blood staining his robes, a wound on his chest. Moreover, he returned alone. Seeing this result, all the Nine Fiend Sect Elders clenched their fists in anger. Hu Han’s sullen face darkened deeper.

  “Sovereign, that Chen Xiaotian, he said if you want to bring the Young Lord back, go to Sky Magi Sect headquarters yourself and to… kneel and beg in front of him.” The moment that Nine Fiend Sect Elder returned to the grand hall, the words flowed out without being asked.

  “What?!” All the Nine Fiend Sect Elders present were filled with rage.

  “This Chen Xiaotian is too presumptuous!”

  “Sovereign, we’ll rush to the Sky Magi Sect’s headquarters right now and save the Young Lord!”

  “That’s right, rescue the Young Lord and destroy the Sky Magi Sect. Capture that Chen Xiaotian and make him kneel in front of the Sovereign!”

  “He thinks having that black-haired young man helping him, our Nine Fiend Sect daren't do anything to him!”

  “Annihilate Sky Magi Sect!”

  “Annihilate Sky magi Sect!”

  All the Nine Fiend Sect Elders clamored noisily.

  Hu Han felt slighted and chagrined; an intense killing intent surged in his heart.

  He, as the Sovereign of the Nine Fiend Sect, the Castellan of Black Demon City, with all the power he had in Black Demon City, he had never felt such vexation! In the past, he just needed to stamp his foot and it would be enough to scare Chen Xiaotian until he pissed his own pants!

  A brief moment passed as Hu Han forced himself to suppress the boiling killing intent in his heart. Raising both of his hands, his indicated everyone to calm down. When the grand hall quieted down, he scanned the faces before him, saying in a solemn voice, “The Sky Magi Sect must be annihilated, Chen Xiaotian and that black-haired young man must die! But not now!”

  The more Chen Xiaotian acted this way, the more prudent and vigilant Hu Han became.

  “Tell the people below to speed up their investigation of the black-haired young man,” Hu Han looked over in Su Meimei’s direction, “Also, other than that black-haired young man, find out if the Sky Magi Sect has any other experts guarding in the dark!”

  “Yes, Sovereign.” Su Meimei stood up and acknowledged with respect.

  At this time, the Elder that returned blood-stained from Sky Magi Sect opened his mouth after slight hesitation, “Sovereign, Chen Xiaotian also told me to bring you a message, he said, tomorrow he would cut off one of Young Lord’s arms, the day after tomorrow an arm and a leg, and on the third day, he would cripple Young Lord’s remaining leg!”

  “What did you say?!” The anger Hu Han worked so hard to suppress erupted like a volcano. The four walls of the grand hall, pillars, and floor were covered with a layer of frosty white ice. Behind Hu Han, an ice serpent flickered in and out vaguely. Not only Hu Han, all the Nine Fiend Sect Elders were furious.

  “Sovereign, this Chen Xiaotian is simply too arrogant! Please give us the order, we’ll gather up and destroy the Sky Magi Sect this instant!” A Nine Fiend Sect Elder could no longer suppress his anger and jumped up from his seat, claiming once again.

  “Yes, Sovereign, give us the order!” Other Elders echoed the suggestion.

  Hu Han inhaled deeply, a dark eerie light flitted across his eyes, “Pass my order down, from now onwards, kill every Sky Magi Sect disciples that the Nine Fiend Sect disciples and Elders come across!”

  “Yes Sovereign!” All the Nine Fiend Sect Elders answered in unison, not daring to clamor more than they had.

  ...

  At the same time, the Sky Magi Sect headquarters grand hall.

  Huwang Xiao sat on the throne seat, whereas Chen Xiaotian, Geng Ken, Jiang Tianhua, as well as the groups of Sky Magi Sect and Blood Swallow School experts stood in respectful manner in the grand hall. Also, in the grand hall was a dumbfounded Hu Sheng staring wide-eyed at the experts of Sky Magi Sect and Blood Swallow School on both sides.

  Sky Magi Sect and Blood Swallow Sch
ool’s experts actually...?! He stared at Huwang Xiao in horror; who is this black-haired young man exactly? What does he want to do?! Hu Sheng daren’t think further...

  Ch.273

  Sky Magi Sect and Blood Swallow School’s experts stood in a respectful manner in the grand hall, lowering the sounds of their breathing to the best they could…

  A pin drop could be heard clearly in the grand hall.

  Chen Xiaotian stood out, reporting: “Young Lord, just now, the Nine Fiend Sect Sovereign Hu Han issued an order, all Sky Magi Sect’s disciples, once found, they are to killed on the spot!”

  “Oh.” Huwang Xiao’s reaction was calm as his eyes glanced over at Hu Sheng in the grand hall. This simple glance made Hu Sheng shiver to his core, his face white as a sheet.

  Chen Xiaotian retreated to his spot after reporting the matter and the huge hall returned to its previous heavy silence. Both Sky Magi Sect and Blood Swallow Sect were waiting for Huwang Xiao’s orders.

  Huwang Xiao drummed his fingers on the throne’s armrest, a dull drumming sound echoed softly in the large hall.

  Without a doubt, Huwang Xiao could take over the Nine Fiend Sect at this stage, but doing so would risk a lot of the Sky Magi Sect and Blood Swallow School’s life. Thus, even if Huwang Xiao successfully took over the Black Demon City, he would be taking over an overall weaker Black Demon City. If a foreign enemy attacked Black Demon City at this time, it would be hard for Black Demon City to resist invasion. This was something Huwang Xiao didn’t wish to happen.

  Limited, he could only wait for half a month.

  At Huwang Xiao’s current second level spiritual force, in another half a month’s time, he would be able to control the remaining of the Nine Fiend Sect’s Elders. When he managed to accomplish that, it would the right time to attack the Nine Fiend Sect, and deal with Hu Han.

  Hu Sheng had to die, therefore, Hu Han could not be left alive. Hu Han also had to die. As for the Nine Fiend Sect’s Deputy, Su Meimei, as long as she was willing to submit, Huwang Xiao would spare her.
