Chapter 98: 083, Even Heaven King's father can't save you.
The situation in battle changed in the blink of an eye; everyone was shocked by the sudden defeat of Cheng Yue, who had been considered nearly certain to win.
Not only had he lost, but he had lost disastrously!
"Lifting Dragon Stick Technique, I can feel it, it's the eight normal channels, a second-rate martial arts technique perfected to the Transformative Realm, this kid actually had this up his sleeve, haha..."
Bai Yunfan was visibly delighted, completely disregarding the sour expression on Yu Guixin's face as he let out a burst of hearty laughter.
Even happier than Bai Yunfan were Hou Yucheng and Hou Yuling, whose hearts had been in their mouths the entire time, now were overjoyed to the point of almost shouting out loud.
Standing behind them, Hou Fei, Su Li, Gao Cheng Gao Hu, and more than a hundred Hou Family Warriors looked at Hou Yuxiao, who was in pursuit of Cheng Yue, their eyes bursting with extreme admiration.
...
The disheveled Cheng Yue couldn't even make it close to the stairs; his right hand was already crushed, his breathing was erratic, and with his severely injured body, how could he outrun the agile Hou Yuxiao.
"Brother Cheng, in such a rush to go somewhere?"
With a slightly mocking tone, Hou Yuxiao's voice rang out in front, Cheng Yue although panicked, seeing his empty right sleeve, realized his right arm was ruined. As he looked at Hou Yuxiao whose face was full of manic hatred, his face turned ghostly pale, and he shrieked, "You're dead... you scum, you're finished..."
Cheng Yue's madness was well understood by Hou Yuxiao, who merely glanced briefly at the locked doors on the second floor without any hesitation, then suddenly raised the Ape Demon Staff and rushed towards Cheng Yue.
"Whether I die or not, we'll talk about it later; today, you are doomed!"
Cheng Yue's hysterical dodging was met with the wooden stairs to the second floor being smashed to pieces by Hou Yuxiao. At the same time, his mental defenses were completely shattered. While dodging, he shouted in terror towards the second floor: "Master, save me..."
His scream proved effective!
The moment Hou Yuxiao's Ape Demon Staff touched Cheng Yue's shoulder, a terrifyingly oppressive aura suddenly descended from above, and his hand instantly lost all its strength, unable to bring the staff down, unable to exert any force.
Ding Dian had made his move...
A door on the left side of the second floor opened, and an elderly man with white hair, a gaunt face but piercing eyes stepped out; the moment Hou Yuxiao's eyes met his, a chill went through him.
"A Religious Protector King intervening in a fight between two young people, isn't that inappropriate?"
Luckily, almost simultaneous with Ding Dian's door, another voice sounded from the right-hand side of the second floor, and the first to emerge was Fan Longhe.
Following Fan Longhe was another red-robed elderly man, burly in stature, domineering in demeanor, his arms crossed over his chest, with the appearance of a monk but devoid of any monk-like demeanor.
Having shared a room with Fan Longhe and having a face similar to Ding Peng's, Hou Yuxiao immediately recognized his identity.
"You're well over three hundred years old, causing trouble alongside your disciple, losing and then denying it; are you planning to keep your face or not?"
Compared to Fan Longhe, Ding Buhai was clearly much more temperamental. He gave no respect to Ding Dian, the number one expert, and directly taunted him.
However, Ding Dian acted as though he hadn't heard the warnings from the two men; his gaze still fixed on Hou Yuxiao. After a few seconds, he just opened his mouth and hardly exhaled a word.
Scram...
Hou Yuxiao's heart sank, feeling the overwhelming aura of Ding Dian, surpassing both Fan Longhe and Ding Buhai, and for the first time truly sensed the domineering presence of the first expert of the Prefectural City.
"Deputy Magistrate Ding, so you're not planning to acknowledge your defeat?"
This softly-spoken challenge, like a stone thrown into a lake, sent ripples spreading out, immediately silencing everyone nearby.
Everyone looked at Hou Yuxiao with faces full of shock, wondering where he got the courage to question Ding Dian.
This was Ding Dian...
The number one expert of Tongling County, Divine Illumination Law King, former true disciple of the Holy Church, 432nd on the Demon Extermination List of the Righteous Path, a world-renowned Demon Head...
Not to mention the many titles he held, from the fact that it took both Fan Longhe and Ding Buhai together to counter him, one could tell what a significant figure Ding Dian was in Tongling County.
To challenge him, to deny him, Hou Yuxiao... by what right?
Others might think thus, but as for Ding Dian himself, there was no need to say; he looked at Hou Yuxiao, his face wearing an incredulous and absurd expression.
After more than ten seconds, Ding Dian's expression gradually calmed down, he looked at Hou Yuxiao and slightly smirked.
His gaze hardened, and suddenly the grandmaster's might burst forth, sweeping across the entire Shengxin Residence. The True Qi swirling around his body like sharp blades, instantly whooshed towards Hou Yuxiao.
"Stop!"
These casually spoken two words made Ding Dian's face change drastically; his True Qi suddenly contracted as he swiftly turned to look over his shoulder towards the room behind Fan Longhe, his eyes filled with dread.
A handsome man in scholar's robes, holding a paper fan, slowly walked out of the room, a smile on his lips as his gaze remained fixed on Ding Dian from beginning to end.
Though his aura was concealed, appearing as though he had no cultivation at all, the moment he stepped out, he captured the attention of everyone present.
What do you think?
