Chapter 402: Chapter 402: What Do You Think You Are?
“So have you all come to a decision? Who’s getting the stone?” Xia Liu asked as he touched his nose.
“Tsk tsk! A brat who’s not afraid of death! I’ll kill you first!”
“Hey, Family Head Yan, he did get the stone through the auction, it seems somewhat inappropriate for us to do this.”
“Daoist Fellow Shi, what do you mean by that?” Yan Wuqing was somewhat puzzled.
In a world where the strong are revered, it is the capable who should possess the treasure; murder and robbery are wrong.
However, it is an irrefutable fact that Xia Liu does not have the right to own that stone.
Shi Hentian was also among the crowd, now criticizing his own actions, but was he himself any more correct?
“It means nothing much, just that I feel if the young friend has paid for it, then he should own it.”
…
As soon as Shi Hentian spoke, the onlookers were flabbergasted. What was he even talking about?
If Xia Liu had obtained it through a legitimate channel and you’ve become so enlightened, why still attempt to intercept him?
“Young friend, how about this: you give me the stone, and I ensure your safety, how about that?” In the midst of everyone’s confusion, Shi Hentian squinted his eyes, looking at Xia Liu with a benevolent smile.
“Pfft!”
As Shi Hentian’s words were spoken, everyone at the scene could not help but snort.
So this old fellow had said that in hope to curry favor with Xia Liu, and then naturally acquire the stone.
Horrible!
Truly horrible!
“Haha! Daoist Fellow Shi, you’re not being fair, but do you think you can walk out of here safely by yourself?” Yan Wuqing said coldly, his eyes flashing with several chilly gleams.
Everyone felt a chill as they sensed the thinly veiled killing intent in his words!@@novelbin@@
“Hmph! You might as well try!” Shi Hentian snorted.
Seeing the standoff between these two powerful forces, Zhao Daxi and Lin Hui were anxious. If Xia Liu really handed over the stone to Shi Hentian, they would have no chance of getting back their Condensing Energy Grass.
“Senior Shi, Xia Liu took our Condensing Energy Grass, he should give it back, right?” Zhao Daxi said in a soft voice, his thoughts flickering.
“That’s a given,” Shi Hentian said, as he was only interested in the mysterious stone and had no need to protect anything else.
Just as Lin Hui and Zhao Daxi were about to rejoice, suddenly, a laugh rang throughout the venue: “Hahaha! Interesting, this is really interesting!”
“Young friend, does this mean you are willing to accept my proposal?” Shi Hentian asked with a slight smile.
Confronted by the sincere Shi Hentian, Xia Liu answered with a faint smile, “What do you count for?”
Crack!
No sooner had the words fallen than the sound of something breaking echoed, and a stone at Shi Hentian’s feet instantly shattered into pieces.
The bewildered onlookers couldn’t imagine what kind of courage Xia Liu mustered to utter such a statement.
“Hahaha! This is somewhat interesting.”
“How does it feel to be toyed with by a Mysterious Rank Warrior? You must be quite angered, I suppose.”
Seeing Shi Hentian being scorned by Xia Liu, both Yan Wuqing and Qiu Wenfu burst out laughing with delight.
“Very well! Very well! Since that’s the case, I have no choice but to kill you!”
“Hehe, didn’t you just say you’d protect me? And also help me decide the fate of the Condensing Energy Grass, now why do you want to kill me?” Xia Liu laughed coldly.
He had long been displeased with arrogant warriors like Shi Hentian.
“You said you wanted to call out the stone yourself and keep safe, but why did you hand over the Condensing Energy Grass? Do you really think everyone is a fool?”
“Because you deserve to die!”
As the words fell, Shi Hentian suddenly erupted with the aura of an Earth-Rank Peak Warrior, and the thick, almost tangible Inner Qi burst forth shockingly.
Increase Energy, focus finger, all of it completed in a flash, one saw Shi Hentian point with his fingers, and a whip carrying a destructive aura swept towards Xia Liu and Ouyang Lingtian.
Just when everyone thought Xia Liu would be brought to his knees by this energy whip, in the next second, everyone’s pupils suddenly constricted!
One saw the lone figure wave his arm, and the death-bringing energy whip dissipated in front of him.
Silence, silence, silence!!!
The surroundings fell into a particularly deathly silence, as if it were the calm of a battlefield after the war, eerily quiet.
No one saw clearly how Xia Liu had just dispersed the energy whip, their eyes filled only with intense shock, as if their very souls had been stirred.
Because no one felt any fluctuation in Xia Liu’s cultivation; he was still the same Mysterious Rank Warrior.
He was still the young Xia Liu.
It was different for Earth-Rank Warriors, their pupils shrank imperceptibly for a moment.
Xia Liu’s move just now was Energy Increase Protection, though it was for an instant, but sufficient for Earth-Rank Warriors to notice.
“So that’s how it is…” The observing Earth-Rank Warriors suddenly had an epiphany.
They finally understood why Xia Liu dared to publicly challenge a scion of a great family and an Earth-Rank Warrior.
It turned out he had his own fail-safe measures. Now, although his aura was at the Mysterious Rank Mid-Level, those with discerning eyes could guess that he used a secret technique to conceal his cultivation!
So young, and yet hiding his cultivation level, the thought alone was somewhat terrifying.
Furthermore, Xia Liu easily destroyed Shi Hentian’s energy whip, which was enough to prove he had the cultivation of around Earth-Rank High-Level.
“Ha-ha! So it turns out to be one of our own, but you’re really looking down on people too much!” Shi Hentian reined in his angry expression and laughed crazily, his words filled with a bone-chilling intent.
“One of our own! Could it be that he is also an Earth-Rank Warrior?” Zhao Daxi and Lin Hui exchanged glances, both seeing the surprise in each other’s eyes.
They even felt a streak of luck—if they had intercepted Xia Liu before Shi Hentian did, the outcome would surely have been unpredictable.
“Don’t try to pull any connections with me, if you’re going to attack then come at me together, I still need to go back for dinner,” Xia Liu said, somewhat annoyedly.
“Damn!” Upon hearing Xia Liu’s arrogant words, the onlookers couldn’t help but curse.
To attack together! That would be three Earth-Rank Peak masters, plus two bodyguards of the same cultivation level.
On average, that would be five Earth-Rank Peak experts, and yet Xia Liu said to come at him together!
Where did his confidence come from? Could it be that he also possessed a cultivation level that one of his age should not have?
Shi Hentian, Yan Wuqing, and Qiu Wenfu all had dark lines across their faces, for it was the first time anyone had looked down on them like this.
If the other party were an old man, they would definitely feel some intimidation, because someone who dared to be so brazen and was of advanced age was very likely a Heaven-Rank Warrior in hiding.
But what about Xia Liu, with a youthful face, he could be at most thirty years old.
At thirty years old, even a super genius could not possibly have a Heaven Rank cultivation, so how could they not be angry?
A strong will to kill erupted from the three of them, and the air around them froze, unable to flow.
No wind, no air, no light.
When a cloud engulfed the dawn light completely, Shi Hentian’s energy shook, his movement technique flashed, bursting forth with his own formidable strike!
“Lingtian, step back a bit, today I’ll show you how to fight with energy!”
