404 Heart of the Realm (1/2)
Raul could hardly believe it.
Albert could hardly believe it.
Everyone in the Highlander Clan could hardly believe this.
All this time, they all saw Raven as a polite and a rather timid person. He was mostly silent and amicable, along with his handsome looks and scholarly aura, practically none of them had any reason to think that there's this side of him.
But in some aspect, this is something that wasn't completely out of their imaginations. They should've known that Raven could get mad too, after all even saints have tempers. No matter how polite and silent Raven appears to be, he surely has a bottom line, and its quite clear that this pitiful guy just crossed that.
What really surprised them, was the fact that virtually none of them saw what Raven did to reduce this servant into this pitiful state.
Even Raul who's cultivation reached the Knight Monarch Realm, barely felt anything at all. He only felt some minute energy fluctuations but that's it. He wasn't aware what the attack looks like or from where it came from. Which made this all the more terrifying, since even he himself would have no idea how to defend against Raven's attacks if it all comes down to it.
What's more is that, Raven's attacks are mercilessly heavy. Sure, this might've been considered as a sneak attack but it wasn't his fault that no one could sense his attacks at all. Additionally, he's just at Hero Realm, whilst the servant was at Champion Realm with a Saint Champion Physique. Its already impressive that he could reduce someone at this boundary with just his power alone.
”W-who are you?” The servant stuttered as he asked this question while his body writhe in pain.
Raven coldly snorted and said: ”Oh, I'm no one important in particular. Just someone who got annoyed by some stupid bald fly who did nothing but buzz into my ears, that's all.”
”Y-you!” The old servant coughed out blood due to anger, after that he a cold laugh escaped from his lips as he roared: ”Y-your dead! Haha! You fool! You're tired of living! If you want to live longer, then you better put me down and let me go at this instant!”
*Smack!*
*Pu!*
The old servant's head whipped to the side while spitting a couple of his teeth due to Raven's back handed slap.
”You just refuse to understand your current position.” Raven snorted coldly. ”A talentless dog like you, who isn't capable of anything other than biting that hand that feeds you, dares to make demands? It seems that I'm being to merciful.”
A cold laugh escaped Raven's mouth as he continued: ”Might as well, since you're so confident in your words. Mind telling me what precisely what gives you this confidence? Tell me so I could shatter it for you.”
Even the Highlander Clan who's watching this scene unfold, couldn't help but be worried about the servant's claim.
Indeed, it was perfectly understandable for them to worry about the might of the Martial Emperor Sect. Not even their clan could resist against their power, yet alone a single Raven.
But despite hearing this words, instead of being worried or fearful. Raven laughed.
He laughed like he heard the funniest joke in the entire world. Tears even started forming in the corners of his eyes. He then wore a mocking smile and asked:
”That's it? That's where your confidence comes from? What a joke!” Raven laughed coldly. ”Well, since you revealed the source of your confidence, then let me show you how laughable your background is.”
With a flick of his finger, the keepsake that's in the middle of the array, flew towards him and landed on his palms.
Under everyone's gaze, he nicked his finger and smeared his blood on the keepsake, causing it to emit a faint brilliance.
He then coldly gaze at the servant and said: ”You're a part of the Martial Emperor Sect now aren't you?”
”I am! What about it?” The servant tried to puff out his chest in pride but the pain prevented him from doing so.
Raven sneered and said: ”If that's the case, then you surely have some Life Monitoring Jades with you right? If so bring them out. I'll let you see something incredible.”
