Asura Sovereign 5

by Shian Jeen

  Peerless Wind Breaking Finger!

  The whole auction hall erupted with excitement. Most of the people present at the public sale this time around got set their sights on these two items.

  “Both Great Thousand Technique and Peerless Blowing wind Breaking Finger are Heaven rank skills,” Auctioneer Fang Dong continued, “I’m sure everyone is aware of what a Heaven rank cultivation technique or fight skill is, thus I shall not waste any more time.”

  “According to the owner’s requirements, both Great 1000 Technique and Peerless Wind Breaking Finger will be auctioned together, and their bidding price begins at twenty billion.”

  Twenty billion! The loud auction hall dropped into a lifeless silence that they could hear their own heartbeats drumming in their ears.

  Twenty billion! Some experts almost halted breathing on the spot, they already knew the fantastic Thousands of Technique and Peerless Blowing wind Breaking Finger would fetch an exorbitant price, but twenty billion was too horrifying.

  Who even had the capability to remove twenty billion in one go? In the Bedlam Lands, only a scarce quantity of people acquired that background.

  Yao Fei’s brows scrunched collectively tightly, more than twenty billion wasn’t much for his Yao Family, however the gold coins he currently had on him would barely suffice.

  “Twenty billion and a hundred!” Zhao Chen’s voice rang out in the silent hall. After Zhao Chen, He Yunxiong’s tone of voice trailed behind, just like the scene earlier, when both were fighting for the batch of quality one spirit rocks, Zhao Chen and He Yunxiong’s voices called out one after another.

  Huwang Xiao sat calmly, viewing things unfold. To him, it was inconsequential whether it was Zhao Chen or He Yunxiong who got the Great Thousand Technique and the Peerless Wind Breaking Finger.

  In the long run, both Heaven rank cultivation technique and battle skill were bought by Zhao Chen for thirty billion. Another item was the Herculean King Jade, also the final item the auction, and this piece of ancient Herculean Ruler Jade was bought by He Yunxiong for a steep price slightly over thirty billion.

  With that, the auction ended.

  This time, although Huwang Xiao didn't get any grade one spirit stones, he didn’t leave empty handed, with three stalks of Life Soul Grass over 1000 years old.

  Huwang Xiao led Qin Yang, Lifei, Jie Dong, and Fan Encheng out from the public sale hall. When Yao Fei noticed him, his figure flickered, blocking right in front of Huwang Xiao, “Huwang Xiao, hehe, you never thought you would run into me here, right?” As he said that, a dark energy fluctuated around Yao Fei.

  “What, you want to fight here?” Huwang Xiao faced the other side, an unconcerned manifestation on his face.

  Fights and killings were the norm in the Bedlam Lands, but even so, it was forbidden to battle within the ten main cities. Not even a Saint realm expert would dare to break this rule, fighting inside the city.

  Yao Fei glared icily at Huwang Xiao, “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything inside this City of Myriad Gods. Hopefully, you can hide here forever and never take half a step outside the city.” Yao Fei disappeared amongst the crowd with a sway after throwing the sentence to Huwang Xiao.

  Huwang Xiao stared at Yao Fei’s silhouette, a cold sneer appeared on his face as he turned around to leave. However, when Huwang Xiao converted, two young men arrived towards him. Huwang Xiao recognized them at first glance, these two young men were part of Zhao Chen’s guards.

  The two teenagers stopped before Huwang Xiao, obstructing his path.

  “Little rascal, our Young Lord wants to meet you, come with us for just a little trip.” Halting Huwang Xiao’s steps, one of them stated with a disparaging tone as he grinned widely.

  Ch.293

  “Your Young Lord wants to see me?” Huwang Xiao had taken a quick glance at the two pompous son, “What if I decline...?”

  Ideally, Huwang Xiao preferred not to have any conflict with this Zhao Chen, but he had not been a soft persimmon that everyone could pinch or squash as they liked.

  “Decline?” Cheng and Zhang Chu exchanged a look between them before laughing in a brazen manner.

  Still laughing, Cheng said, “Little rascal, perhaps you don’t know who our Young Lord is? Our Young Lord is Young Noble Zhao Chen. In the Bedlam Lands, there is yet anyone who dared to defy our Young Lord’s words!”

  “Our Young Lord orders you to go meet him, that is your greatest honor,” Zhang Chu snickered, “Little rascal, I advise you to follow us obediently, otherwise, hehe…” an undisguised antagonistic spark shone in his eyes.

  Huwang Xiao continued to be nonchalant, “If your Young Lord desires to see me personally, tell him to roll over himself.” Not waiting to see the two young men’s reaction, Huwang Xiao looked over to Qin Yang and the other 3, saying “Let’s go.”

  “Yes, Young Lord.”

  Roll over?! Cheng and Zhang Chu were enraged hearing Huwang Xiao actually dared to tell their Young Lord to move over even after knowing his identification.

  “Bastard, you’re courting death!” Cheng struck his fist out in rage towards Huwang Xiao. Trailing the powerful punch was a surreal shadow of the tiger’s wide opened jaw.

  Feeling the strong energy fluctuation coming at him, Huwang Xiao dared not underestimate the enemy, his feet swiftly retreated as his hands formed a fist and punched outㅡthe Great Void Divine Fist!

  The Great Void Divine Fist, ethereal, yet tangible the next moment, reality and illusion overlapped, collided head-on with the tiger fist.

  A booming explosion resounded, raising a curtain of sand and dust.

  Huwang Xiao’s body shook, retreating more than 10 meters back, however, Cheng also retreated more ten meters back again.

  “You!” Cheng was astounded as he stared at Huwang Xiao, he was a peak late-Xiantian 8th Order expert and he could see that Huwang Xiao hadn’t even broken through to the early Eighth Order.

  Zhang Chu was no exception.

  “Brat, no wonder you’re so arrogant, counting on these few points of power.” Zhang Chu smirked derisively, “Do you think with only this much strength you can defy our Young Lord’s order?! Let me enlighten you, even if you were a Saint world expert, there’s only loss of life in defying our Young Lord!” A dark teal light burst out from Zhang Chu’s body, both of your hands created into claws, slashing down towards Huwang Xiao.

  More than a dozen dark teal lights transformed into a large number of snakes which were as thick as an adult’s arm, flaring out in Huwang Xiao’s direction.

  Zhang Chu was an early-Xiantian Ninth Order, a mere difference of a small order, but his attack was often more powerful than Cheng.

  Huwang Xiao’s eye narrowed, his expression turning grim. Both his hands struck out and glowing golden bands pierced the environment. Where the fantastic rings passed, all attacks slowed down and steadily stopped in midair.

  Zhang Chu was dumbfounded: what kind of battle skill was this?!

  At the moment, Qin Yang, Lifei, and the others moved, blasting from the dozens of teal green snakes.

  “Who is it? So audacious as to combat inside the City of Myriad Gods!” From afar, a voice thundered, echoes reverberated in the street, even building structures seemed to shake. In less than a breath’s time, a team city guards clad in shiny dark armors appeared riding on Earth Tiger mounts, galloping into the scene.

  Seeing this, Cheng and Zhang Chu had no choice but to avoid.

  Moments later, the team of city guards arrived. A seemingly captain-like middle-aged man of the team nudged his Earth Tiger mount closer, stopping in front of Huwang Xiao and the others.

  “Captain Wang.” Seeing the middle-aged man, Zhang Chu cupped his fist and greeted with a smile.

  Wang Hai was surprised, viewing it was Cheng and Zhang Chu both, he laughed and said, “So it was Brother Zhang Chu and Cheng.” Wang Hai dismounted from the tiger beast’s back as he do so.

  Huwang Xiao stood where he was, watching. It was surprising to see that
Cheng and Zhang Chu were familiar with City of Myriad God’s city guards captain. Judging from their greetings, they seemed to be on good terms too. He waited expectantly to see how this captain would handle the matter.

  At this time, Zhang Chu proceeded to ‘explain’ the situation with a smile, “Captain Wang, you truly arrive at the right time,” with one finger pointing at Huwang Xiao, Zhang Chu continued, “We have some previous grudges with this punk, we didn’t expect him to ambush us while we weren’t paying attention.”

  Wang Hai nodded, “So that it was like this…” then, his appearance became cool as he turned to take a look at Huwang Xiao, “Brat, don’t you know it’s prohibited to fight inside the town of Myriad Gods?” Without waiting for Huwang Xiao to explain, Wang Hai waved at his subordinates at the back, “Arrest most of them first, throw in to the dungeon.”

  “Yes, Captain.”

  The team of city guards quickly surrounded Huwang Xiao’s band of five.

  This result raised a mocking sneer on Huwang Xiao’s face; since this is the way they wished to play, he didn't brain slaughtering his way out.

  Just like Huwang Xiao was about to call away the Cutting blades of Asura, preparing to let blood flow, suddenly a tone of voice sounded from the void above: “Stop!” The voice wasn’t loud but it included a strong deterrence pressure that crushed any objection. Everyone considered look.

  A gray haired old man in mulberry robe strode over, on the chest of his robe was embroidered a double-headed celestial beast emblem, and surrounding the beast were extremely life-like dark, fiery red flames.

  Noticing this person’s arrival, Cheng and Zhang Chu’s face tightened, ashen a little. In the next second, Wang Hai hastened forward to greet the old man, “Greeting Senior He!”

  Older He? The name struck Huwang Xiao’s mind: He Yunxiong! This old man was none other than Millennium City’s He Yunxiong, one of the very best ten experts of Bedlam Landsㅡthat He Yunxiong.

  He Yunxiong ignored Wang Hai, walking straight towards Huwang Xiao as his eyes observed him up and down. There was praise in his eye, rubbing his barely-exist beard in an appreciative gesture, He Yunxiong smiled, “Not a bad brat, are you interested in worshipping me as your Master?”

  Worship He Yunxiong as master?

  People who gathered closeby was dumbfounded hearing He Yunxiong’s words, especially Wang Hai, Cheng, and Zhang Chu, their mouths agape.

  Huwang Xiao sweated quietly, if he didn’t know that old man before him was He Yunxiong, he’d definitely suspect whether this old man was crazy. Before Huwang Xiao could answer, Zhang Chu stepped ahead, venturing with caution, “Mature He, this kid is someone our Young Lord…”

  However, his phrase has yet to finish when He Yunxiong flick his robe sleeve and Zhang Chu felt as though he slammed into a tall mountain. His entire body shot away in a tragic holler until he reached the end of the street. Crashing onto the road pavement, not even a grunt emerged.

  “I, He Yunxiong, am talking, it is not a place where a slave like you can interrupt.” He Yunxiong scoffed, not turning around to look.

  Cheng viewed at the end of the street where Zhang Chu’s corpse laid, he was so terrified that even his bones were shivering, falling butt first to the ground. Wang Hai and the team of city guards sweated profusely, looking pale as white sheets.

  He Yunxiong pointed a finger at Cheng, and he was thrown back again several 100 meters away, blood spurting from his mouth area as he landed.

  “Return and tell that brat Zhao Chen that I like this kid.” He Yunxiong’s light, fleeting voice sounded.

  “Yes, yes, yes, many thanks for Senior He’s mercy in sparing my life!” Cheng fled for his life in panic after some kowtows, in only few seconds, his figure vanished in the masses.

  Wang Hai felt an itching thirst in his throat, standing up there and not daring to move.

  “Why aren’t you scramming away?” He Yunxiong snapped at Wang Hai.

  “Yes, yes, Senior He.” Immediately, not even climbing onto his mount, he led his subordinates and ran away on foot.

  Ch.294

  As Wang Hai and the town guards fled further away, Huwang Xiao retrieved his gaze, looking at He Yunxiong, he really couldn’t figure out what about him He Yunxiong liked enough to receive him as a disciple.

  He Yunxiong was one of top ten experts in the Bedlam Lands, as long as he said the words, individuals who wanted to be his disciples could line a hundred miles long!

  As though He Yunxiong saw through Huwang Xiao’s doubts, he laughed lightly, “Brat, you must be puzzled about the reason I want to accept you as my disciple? To be frank with you, I practice a kind of secret law that could approximately estimate a person’s talent, moreover, your character matches well with mine.”

  Huwang Xiao was nonplussed; that simple? However, He Yunxiong’s key legislation that could estimation a person’s skill astounded Huwang Xiao, such techniques, admittedly, were just a little terrifying. Even if it was only a rough estimation.

  He Yunxiong continued, “Brat, up to now, you haven’t cultivated over 100 years, right? Less than a hundred years and you can already defeat a peak late-Xiantian Eighth Order, this level of talent, among the geniuses I’ve run into, you can be considered one of the top three.”

  A hundred years? Huwang Xiao smiled, if He Yunxiong understood he was only twenty-something, how would he react? Most people in general, once they came into the Xiantian realm, would use some magic formula techniques or take certain elixirs that made them look younger than their real age. Hence, it was difficult to guess a person’s actual age group just by judging from appearances.

  “How about it? My words are accurate.” Since Huwang Xiao kept silent the entire time, He Yunxiong thought Huwang Xiao acquiescence to his evaluation, smiling, he said, “Brat, for now, let’s make it a simple kowtow acceptance ceremony. Once we return to Millennium City, I will send out the invitations for the official wedding ceremony with top experts as witnesses, we’ll do the proper master-disciple ceremony at that time.”

  When He Yunxiong assumed Huwang Xiao would kowtow with joy, Huwang Xiao shook his mind instead, “Many thanks for Senior He’s assistance previously, however, I have a Master.” In Huwang Xiao’s brain, he only experienced one Graspㅡthe previous Asura’s Gate Sovereign, Ren Wokuang!

  Though he acknowledged Shi Tianfu as Senior Brother in that trip to the Blessed Buddha Empire, those were unpredicted circumstances and it was merely a title.

  He Yunxiong looked stupefied for a moment, this brat actually refused him?! Then he broke into a grin, he previously been explaining without introducing himself to the little brat, this brat surely wasn’t aware of his identity.

  “Little brat, I think you don’t know who I am, right?” He Yunxiong smiled amiably, “I am He Yunxiong, Millennium City’s Castellan.” Fearing that Huwang Xiao might still be lost, he added another word by the end, “One of Bedlam Lands’ top experts.”

  Huwang Xiao smiled helplessly at his words, “Senior He, I’m alert to this.”

  It had been He Yunxiong’s turn to be bewildered, frowning, he stared fixedly at Huwang Xiao. This little brat knew who he was, yet he still refused to worship him as Expert?

  “Why?” He Yunxiong’s tone of voice was solemn.

  Huwang Xiao replied, “In my heart, I only have one Get better at.”

  He Yunxiong paused, “In Martial Spirit World, the majority of the Saint world experts have more than one Get good at in their lifetime, I myself worshipped four different Masters.”

  What He Yunxiong said was the overall truth, in Martial Spirit World, the majority of Saint realm experts had more than one Master. Despite that, Huwang Xiao still shook his head and declined.

  He Yunxiong viewed Huwang Xiao, suddenly an intangible pressure burst forth from He Yunxiong’s body, enveloping Huwang Xiao, leading to the other four, Qin Yang, Lifei, Jie Dong, and Lover Encheng to pale visibly.

  But, facing the pressure from He Yunxiong, Huwang Xiao made an
appearance calm, even as He Yunxiong gradually increased the pressure. Within the next minute, the solidified pressure from He Yunxiong retreated like the tide, vanishing.

  He stared at Huwang Xiao like a defeated rooster in a match as he smiled, saying “Little brat, since it’s like that, I will not push you, if you ever change your mind, come look for me in Millennium City. This is a Millennium Medallion.” Fishing out a little pendant-size medallion, he gave it to Huwang Xiao.

  Huwang Xiao received the grayish medallion inscribed with a double-headed celestial beast. The same celestial beast on He Yunxiong’s robe.

  Without another word, He Yunxiong’s hand reached out, tearing space, his body entered and disappeared from the spot in a flicker.

  Keeping the Millennium Medallion into the Asura Band, Huwang Xiao returned to the small courtyard residence they bought with Qin Yang and the rest.

  On another side, in the south section of the city, within an exquisitely decorated grand mansion, Zhao Chen was extremely sullen as he glowered at Chen, who was kneeling before him.

  “Garbage!” Zhao Chen kicked Cheng, who was simply kneeling on the floor, without mercy. A woeful scream came from Cheng as he was sent tumbling to a corner of the yard.

  Zhao Chen’s hands grasped at the chairs beside him, turning them into powder. An intense razor-sharp light glinted in Zhao Chen’s eyes, “This He Yunxiong, acting against me each and every time, one of these days I’m going to crush Millennium City and toy with his wives and concubines to their death!”

  All the guards behind Zhao Chen lowered their heads, non-e dared to utter a sound.

  Crush Millennium City? Not Sin City’s Castellan dared to speak of crushing Millennium City lightly. Millennium City got existed for thousands of years, the causes within were deeply rooted, would it be so easily destroyed?

  Zhao Chen swirled around towards silver-haired old man behind him, “Steward Feng, keep a tail on that Huwang Xiao kid, after they leave the City of Myriad Gods, come report to me immediately.”
