Chapter 169 - Gather (1/2)

Hao Xuan who was still a bit nervous meeting a room of full of strangers for the first time suddenly frowned.

”Why is that guy acting like that?” he thought.

”I will not repeat myself. This place is not for someone like 'you'. Leave,” the guy repeated himself, this time releasing a bit of aura. Hao Xuan's eyes contracted and he met the man's gaze.

”Spirit Realm?!” Hao Xuan's expression turned serious.

There was complete silence in the room. Hao Xuan and the man kept staring at one another as if in a contest, while Jin Wang simply smiled looking at them.

The man started releasing more and more Qi along with his aura, making the pressure on Jin Wang and Hao Xuan increase. But Jin Wang was completely unaffected by it. He was actually so relaxed that he yawned and rubbed his eyes in boredom.

Hao Xuan, on the other hand, wasn't having such a relaxing time. Small droplets of sweat appeared on his forehead under the increasing pressure.

He looked at the man and saw that he wasn't planning on backing off anytime soon which confused him. He hadn't met this person before yet why did he seem to have a personal vendetta against him?

”I don't like you very much,” he mumbled and sat back on the seat.

*ssss*

A sound similar to a hiss of a snake came from Hao Xuan's body. A purple strand of energy came out of his hand. It was visible with the naked eye.

The eye's of the bulky man that was sitting opposite to Hao Xuan glinted upon seeing the strand of energy.

The strand moved in the air like a see-through tentacle. Its tip turned towards the man that was releasing all the pressure and extended forward.

The man frowned and released some energy of his own. It was a clear blue color and was in the shape of minute needles. There were over twenty of them. They shot forward one by one, embedding themselves in the purple tentacle.

The man saw that the tentacle had stopped moving and scoffed.

*Plop*

It sounded like a small bubble being popped and the tentacle exploded.

*BZZZZT*

A heavy pressure descended on the entire room. Other than Jin Wang, everyone else's expression turned serious instantly. They all turned and looked at Hao Xuan in surprise.

The purple energy that Hao Xuan had released was a culmination of all emperors energy that he could have the utmost control over.

In a direct confrontation, emperors energy was useless. It couldn't hurt anyone just by itself. Its main use was ”suppression”. The suppression of a mighty king towards all the elements in his domain.

And it did exactly that. The pressure descended on everyone and their powers were suppressed to an extent.

The aura and the pressure the other man was releasing weakened considerably, enough for Hao Xuan to counter it.

”Enough. We are already low on time. You guys can play around later,” the bulky man waved his hand nonchalantly and pressure vanished like it was never there.

Hao Xuan knit his brow and looked at him. ”Why didn't you step in before?”

”Because it was fun,” the man grinned back. His face contorted in such a strange way that it looked deformed.

”God damn, that's one ugly grin,” Jin Wang spouted out what Hao Xuan was thinking.
