Chapter 142: Scourge! (2/2)

Before he could realize what was going on, a fist pierced through the invisible barrier and struck his chest.

Puff!

He spat out a mouthful of blood as his body wiggled back and his invisible barriers vanished, revealing Lucien's pitch black, hollow eyes peering into his soul. Thanks to the amazing vitality of a spirit realm expert he was still alive even as he felt Lucien's hands gently touching his beating heart.

”If you kill me…” Zhao Li muttered but he was interrupted by Lucien.

”If I kill you, your clan will seek revenge, and just like you, they will all die. As long as you do not have a champion realm master in your clan I have no reason to fear… Do you think your clan patriarchy will travel all the way from Libet to here to die at the hands of the experts of the Fotia empire, because of a cocky brat who snuck out at night with a hundred elite troops and lost his life along with fifty of them? Do be stupid… Let us all be realistic here… You have no cards left!” Lucien sneered as he slowly tightened his grip on Zhao Li's heart making those outside tremble in fear!

”YOUNG MASTER!!!!”

Many screamed as they attacked the dome preventing them from entering, recklessly, causing Lucien to chuckle slightly

”Stupid mortals…” He commented before turning his attention to Zhao Li and said;

”I told you, I have seen through all your moves… You cannot cast the two types of barriers you have all at once… So all I had to do is make sure you can't take down the invisible barrier and then go for the kill with my fist… I guess I was right!” Lucien chuckled slightly.

”What do you want?” Zhao Li asked as he gripped Lucien's hand and tried to pull but compared to Lucien's inhuman strength, he was like a kid trying to win an adult bodybuilder in a game of arm wrestling. He gazed at Lucien's face only to find out that his smile was gone and there was no expression left on his face.

”What do you want?” He asked timidly once again.

”I want you dead” Lucien answered casually making his heart skip a beat.

He was sure Lucien was a hundred percent serious about what he just said and that is what terrified him even more.

”Please, I can give you anything you want! Riches, cultivation materials… all of it, just spare my life!” Zhao Li didn't care about his image anymore and begged like any other commoner.

Gazing at him, he looked pathetic and Lucien found this disgusting! He hated the fact that this man dared to come to his territory to kill him and didn't even have the guts to follow through with it!

”Stop!” a voice echoed as he saw a figure shooting towards them from his city.

He and Zhao Li watched as the figure soon reached about a few hundred meters away from them and stopped!

It was a green-haired man wearing a green knight armor with a sword almost the same size as him hanging loosely on his back. The Rakuzen clan keeps having numerous visitors willing to pay the entrance fee so Lucien cannot keep tabs on them. Judging based on the armor and the number of medals on it, he could tell this man was from the military for the Fotia empire and that left him more confused.

Why would someone like this interfere at a time like this?

”Why are you here?” Lucien's voice was cold enough to send shivers down the spines of all those who heard him.

It was like he was telling the man he would kill him if he gave a wrong answer!

”Lord Lucien, I am Sir Carlos of the imperial forces!” The man gave Lucien a slight bow while he spoke but his tone didn't carry any form of respect.

”You didn't answer my question… Don't make me ask again!” Lucien warned, ignoring his greetings.

”I order you, as an imperial Knight for the empire, to hand this man over to my custody and let the empire deal with him…” The man said boldly but Lucien's answer was something he did not expect!

”Piss off!” Lucien growled as he waved his free hand and a massive mana beam shot towards the man!
