Chapter 298 - The most evil! (1/2)
These darned peasants! Daring to create such a scene before me!
Are they blind?
They were before the presence of my almighty being, yet they still dared to throw slurs and cursing words around me as though a bunch of uncivilized plebians?
What is this, a zoo?
”Hmph! If only the Heaven's restrictions are not watching this world, I would have long enslaved this entire dastard populace!” Xiqong Wu snorted in anger as his beard trembled.
The reason why he could not make a move on them was due to the Heaven's restrictions. It was dictated that the committee of the Heaven's Will, although were free to traverse to any world down in the mortal realm, were not allowed to use their powers onto the local populace!
Furthermore, the range of actions they could do was limited as well, like a spectator that could only observe but not influence things directly. Thus, they were severely restricted despite having an enormous power that could move the heaven and earth, making them no worse than a pebble by the side of the road!
It was not that he was a law-abiding fellow, but if Xiqong Wu were to disregard this rule, he would immediately find his existence to be erased by the automatic system of the Heaven's Will!
Perhaps, the only people that were exempted from this rule was the celestials themselves to a certain degree. After all, the celestials were already an existence that stood on par with the Heavens themselves!
However, just because he cannot make a move himself, doesn't mean that he wasn't able to do anything!
”Slave, kill them all!” he instructed towards Cao Tengfei coldly, devoid of any emotions as though he was instructing the other party to pull out a bunch of weeds!
”At once, Master!” Cao Tengfei's lips curled into a twisted smile as he turned around in excitement, similar to a deranged person.
He raised his hand with the intention to one-shot and massacre the people on the ground with a wave of his saber!
”Hold it right there.” Duan Li grabbed at Cao Tengfei's arm with a tight grip, appearing abruptly before him.
”Ah?” Veins were visibly popping out of Cao Tengfei's temple as he turned his head to look at Duan Li beside him with wrathful eyes!
”Are you looking to die so soon? Wait for your turn after I finish this task from my Master!” he said with a hoarse voice that was filled with malevolent intent.
He hated Duan Li so much to the point that his bone marrow was itching continuously at the sight of this person that he wanted to kill the most!
Before, he was a proud member of the Dark Sect, an expert at the pinnacle of power that was feared by all. However, after he met this fellow, everything in his life seemed to turn for the worse!
To think that he was defeated by this person that was only in the Foundation Establishment realm back then..
Not to mention that his an*s was somehow assaulted by some mysterious means..
It was a defeat that was full of humiliation, even worse than death!
”While being an utterly despicable bastard before, at least you were still a free barking dog back then. But now that you have a leash on your neck, don't you think that you are quite pitiful?” Duan Li said with a gentle smile.
His intention behind this was simple, and it was to provoke Cao Tengfei!
After all, despite his calm composure, he was actually in a very precarious situation right now.
Firstly, everyone except him were unable to move. This means that if he did not pull Cao Tengfei away, he will not be able to protect everyone if a fight were to break out since the people can't escape.
Secondly, he felt the rippling power coming out from Cao Tengfei and this made him extremely wary.
This was a similar sensation back to when he first faced the Guardian of the first region, Jing Zhianghu!
In other words, the other party had already made a breakthrough and released the First shackle of mortality, becoming a true Immortal!
Against a person like this in his current state, Duan Li wasn't sure that he would be able to hold the other party out. Therefore, he needed to pull their impending fight away from the others!
The final reason was because Duan Li wasn't sure to what extent the restriction on Xiqong Wu was effective in restraining his actions. However, Duan Li was confident that Xiqong Wu could not harm the people directly from the way he instructed Cao Tengfei to do everything for him.
