Chapter 1962: Bounty (1/2)
In a swift leap, Huang Xiaolong landed on the ten-winged pegasus’s back. When he was about to leave on the ten-winged pegasus, a loud voice rang in the silent atmosphere, “Not so fast!”
Others were stunned. When they turned towards the source, they saw a group of Radiance Knight Corp flying towards them. The one who had spoken was a muscular middle-aged man with a thick Hungarian mustache, bright-spirited eyes that resembled two bright suns that glints sharply, making others shy away from meeting his gaze directly. He seemed to be the leader of the group.
“It’s the Radiance Knight Corp's bishop, Lord Lu Zhaoming! Young Master Lu Feng is with him as well!”
“Lord Lu Zhaoming has long stepped into late-Third Order Emperor Realm. He’s the Radiance Knight Corp's Archbishop Abra’s personal disciple!”
The large crowd of experts stirred with anticipation. Even the three Emperor Realm pontiffs hastened to Lu Zhaoming’s side.
“Greetings, Lord Lu Zhaoming!” All three saluted respectfully.
Lu Zhaoming nodded at them as he and the rest of his group continued flying towards Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong frowned, then looked at Lu Zhaoming, Lu Feng, and others coming towards him with ‘an inquisitive expression.’
“This ten-winged pegasus belongs to our Radiance Knight Corp. Therefore, you cannot take this ten-winged pegasus away.” Lu Zhaoming said as he came to a stop in front of Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong suddenly smiled. A blind person could also see that the ten-winged pegasus was an ownerless creature. Yet this Lu Zhaoming had the cheek to claim that it belonged to the Radiance Knight Corp. He was literally lying through his teeth.
“You say this ten-winged pegasus belongs to your Radiance Knight Corp. In other words, do you mean it’s yours?” Huang Xiaolong pointed at the radiance divine armor on Lu Zhaoming, and he half-jokingly said, “That armor on your body is actually mine. How about you take it off for me and strip naked.”
The surrounding experts couldn’t hold back their laughter.
Lu Zhaoming blanked for a second. Then his eyes narrowed in anger as a dangerous light glinted in them. The light in his eyes danced like flames.
“Insolent! This is our Radiance Knight Corp's bishop, Lord Lu Zhaoming. Do you know you’ve committed a crime worthy of death just by uttering those words!”
One of the knight captains standing behind Lu Zhaoming stepped out and reprimanded Huang Xiaolong in a fit, “Don’t assume that the Radiance Knight Corp won’t dare to kill you because you’re an Emperor Realm expert!”
“What?!”
Everyone present was astounded.
It had never occurred to them that Huang Xiaolong could have the guts to kill a captain of the Radiance Knight Corp. A Radiance Knight Corp's captain! Once killed, that meant the entire Radiance Knight Corp would hunt down the murderer. There would also be a bounty on the killer’s head, subjecting him to pursuit from every expert in the Radiance World.
“You!” Lu Zhaoming had not expected Huang Xiaolong to kill a captain right in his face.
This was simply…!
“Do you think after killing a Indestructible Pontiff, you don’t have to put our Radiance Knight Corp in your eyes?”
Lu Zhaoming sneered, “Very good! If you had left tactfully just now, you could have escaped safely. But now, you're dead! You are far too arrogant for your own good!
Although the sight of Huang Xiaolong killing Indestructible Pontiff had deterred them somewhat, Lu Zhaoming refused to believe that he, a late-Third Order Emperor, couldn’t deal with a junior that had recently broken through to Emperor Realm.
With that said, a halberd appeared in Lu Zhaoming’s hand as he shouted, “Die, brat!” A burst of cold rays shot out from his halberd.
But Lu Zhaoming’s words barely fell when a giant palm suddenly appeared in the sky and struck down with overwhelming destructive darkness element power, akin to a super dark sun.
Lu Zhaoming had yet to react when he was already hit by the giant palm, smashing straight into the Sea of Radiance. The beast mount under him had turned into a scattering blood fog.
