Chapter 252 - The Dread of Huangpu Tianyuan (2/2)

“Seniors, Marshal Dugu forbids any grudge fights in Dragon Cloud City. The seven houses are no exception. Please comply!” Dugu Feng cupped his hands at the six, his tone very cold.

And yet another shout came, “Brother Yunhai…”

Dugu Huo noticed Luo Yunhai on the ground and knew at a glance that his leg was broken. His short temper was already burning as he raved, “Who did this?”

“Third brother, it was Lin Xuanfeng!” Luo Yunchang spoke in a pleading voice, “Please, elder brother, help us!”

Dugu Huo’s face heated up as he roared like a beast, “Anyone who harms our family is dead! Eldest brother…”

“Quiet!”

Dugu Feng cut him off with a glare, then continued, “I hope that we can all let this matter rest! If Marshal were to step in himself, it won’t simply end with words!”

The rest stared at him fixedly, then nodded slowly.

Dugu Zhantian was the second of the Four Pillars. They had to show him some respect after all.

“Fine. It’s such a pity though, that I didn’t get to show them my prowess. We’ll just have to wait for the decisive battle of the houses then!” Lin Xuanfeng shrugged and mocked. They hadn’t lost in this exchange anyway.

The rest looked at each other and nodded as well.

Dugu Feng eased his breath and walked to Luo Yunhai, “Yunhai, please forgive me.”

“No, I understand that the eldest brother had to dissolve the situation!” Luo Yunhai’s eyes were firm.

Past five years in the Dugu Army had him grown accustomed to the meaning of military. In order to reach an objective, sometimes personal honor had to be sacrificed.

Taking a deep breath, Dugu Feng patted his shoulder, feeling his pain as well.

His little brother was pushed around and what did the eldest brother do? Nothing! All because of his orders. He was a soldier first and foremost, a Dugu Army’s general!

The other tigers sighed as well, filled with just as much rage as him.

“Oh, isn’t the situation over yet?” A sudden voice came, lofty as an emperor’s. Carrying might with every word.

They all turned to see the most dreadful among the six dragons.

Heaven-shaking Dragon Lord, Huangpu Qingtian!

“Eldest young master, this is what happened…” Lin Xuanfeng looked like a dog as he explained in brief.

Huangpu Qingtian nodded, yet his face was always calm. He stepped forward and said, “Since Zhuo Fan is a no-show, hurry up and kill the Luo clan! If such a crucial event doesn’t warrant his coming, he must be dead for sure!”

The others jerked in fright. Huangpu Qingtian was going to go against Dugu Zhantian’s orders and kill the Luo clan.

“Young master Huangpu, Marshal is against any grudge fights. Are you… “

Dugu Feng blocked his path and shouted, but Huangpu Qingtian only had disdain for his attempt, “Grudge fight, war, they all describe armed conflicts between two equally strong sides! But none of you are even worthy of a grudge fight. So erasing someone weak doesn’t violate any order.”

[Such crass!]

The people were shocked once again by this man’s egotistical behavior.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a sword light came down from above, straight for Huangpu Qingtian. Xie Tianshang was filled with fighting spirit as he shouted, “Huangpu Qingtian, I’ve waited ten years for this! Flowing Space’s Nine Forms – Splitting Heaven!”

“Ten years? Then you waited for nothing!”

He walked just like before, and yet in the face of the upcoming sword attack, he only replied with a casual palm attack.

Boom!

The sword wave splintered and an almighty power slammed into Xie Tianshang’s chest and sent him flying while coughing blood.

The way Huangpu Qingtian put away his hand was as if he flicked away a pest, a mosquito – so casual, so dismissive. Not even his gait changed!

Sss~

All watched in stunned silence how he dominated Xie Tianshang. Not even Xie Tianyang conceived it possible for his invincible brother to be so easily dealt with by Heaven-shaking Dragon Lord.

Everyone said Huangpu Qingtian was a monster, but how could there be such discrepancy from the rest of the Six Dragons and One Phoenix? The others couldn’t even put up any resistance.

The hearts of everyone sank in despair! Huangpu Qingtian was an untameable mountain as he stepped towards them.

Although slow, his step carried such power that it was as if he was stepping on everyone’s hearts, crushing their spirit and will…
