Chapter 409 - Clash(Part-4) (1/2)

Ryuu followed the cultivator as did others slightly behind him, as his guide quickly whispered to him, ”He is beyond that hill.”

Ryuu nodded as he turned towards others as he sent a nod, the group parted into two as one went towards a slightly different direction while Ryuu himself continued down the same direction.

Zikris was getting impatient by the minute as well as enraged, a groan came from underneath his feet making gain a sadistic smile as he increased the pressure on the person as the sound of bone breaking came to his ears.

”So you are Zikris?”, a voice came to his ears as he looked up Zikris's grin widened, only to turn into a snarl filled with anger, ”Dog bark now, and tell me who gave you the permission to bask in my presence let alone demand it.”

True-Spear's jaw dropped at that as he looked towards Zywia as he could not help but ask her out loud, ”Is he touched in the head? Who antagonizes the enemy like that especially when that enemy has hostages?”

Zywia shook her head as she whispered back heatedly, ”Lower your voice, and how would I know, I knew he had an ego, most of us do but this narcissistic behaviour I do not know what is going on in his head.”

”No it is alright, he is simply psyching up the enemy.”, the duo looked towards Frost Flames who was looking at Ryuu with interest in her eyes.

Zikris growled as he spoke, ”You dare I will….”

Ryuu snorted at his threat as he spoke, ”You what like those spineless weak brethren of yours you will now claim to rescue them I will have to cripple myself so that you being bad big brave cultivator would try to claim my head, and when you lose you will be at my knees licking and cry all over my shoes for mercy, I have done that dance many times to know about your kind.”

Stunned silence was heard as almost everyone gawked at Ryuu while the two hostages lying near Zikris feet had already given up their chances of staying alive, they had already steeled their heart for the inevitable while cursing Ryuu for getting them killed when all of a sudden the felt a powerful kick near their torso as they were flung away from him with great force.

Zikris looked stunned for a moment as he watched his hostages that he had kicked away were snatched away before they would hit the ground as multiple cultivators surrounded him, his jaw dropped as he cursed out loudly before his body turned completely black as smoke bellowed surrounding as an unearthly roar came from his throat that seemed to push back others while Ryuu gave him a bored look, though inwardly he frowned, 'I hope I am not pushed to use my Divine Body in front of everyone.'

”Hahaha very funny, very funny indeed 'Rain Sword', you murderer, you caused my brother's death, I will kill you then drink wine from your skull and then cash your head, after all, who wouldn't want Twenty Five Low-grade Deva Crystals.”

A sharp intake of breath was heard from other cultivators, even for the Deva realm cultivators who looked Ryuu at new light, a Deva crystal could be used to purchase an entire planet, the planet may not be particularly rich in resources but still a planet is a planet and here stood a person who was worth twenty-five such planets.

Ryuu grinned at him while inwardly he was furious, 'Damn him, now I have to double my security to prevent someone backstabbing me.'

True-Spear turned towards Zywia as he spoke, ”How did he get such a high bounty?”

Zywia had a worried look on her face as she spoke, ”I do not know.”, while inwardly she was as worried as Ryuu, 'Damn that demonic bastard why did he have to announce Ryuu's bounty like that, not to mention he dragged Ryuu here to fight him, that's it we will overwhelm and deal with him then Ryuu will not have to go full power and get hurt.'

Su-Min whistled lowly at that as she spoke, ”Damn Zywia your friend is something else, first when I met he had an assassination attempt on him and now such a large bounty, just what is he?”

Zywia did not say anything as she cast a worried look towards Ryuu only for her attention to be drawn towards Frozen Ocean who simply gave a small nod as she got ready along with her to help Ryuu.
