Chapter 357 - Fiendish Elders (2/2)
It was because Zhuo Fan’s information was too credible. Knowing who Demon Scheming Sect’s Sect Leader was, proved the Four Scheming Demons were sent to help the Luo clan. Did that mean the Luo clan had one of the empire’s three guardian sects, Demon Scheming Sect, on their side?
What hope did they have in fighting the Luo clan then? Not a snowball’s chance in hell. How could a house fight a sect?
Yet he was still unwilling to believe all of Zhuo Fan’s words, staring him in the eye for any trace of lies.
The Four Scheming Demons looked at him in shock. Wimp Demon couldn’t hold his curiosity in check as he whispered, “Steward Zhuo, is it true?”
Zhuo Fan nodded.
It was all fiction of course. Xie Wuyue had no idea the four shits were with the Luo clan. But he was sure Xie Wuyue wouldn’t object anyway.
The Demon Scheming Sect’s Sect Leader was even waiting three years before taking him to his sect yet wouldn’t give this little bit of help?
The Four Scheming Demons, having got their answer, were ecstatic. They suddenly gathered around and pooled their tiny minds for a little chat. They nodded and a savage glint sparked in their eyes.
The four turned into black smoke and charged at Regent Estate.
Huangpu Fenglei jerked and shouted, “Look out, these four are hard to deal with!”
Too little, too late. Four trails of black smoke shot at Regent Estate’s Venerables. In a blink, a Venerable in the 4th layer of Radiant Stage was taken to the skies.
In the sun’s glaring rays, the black smoke squeezed in on the Venerable, despite his futile struggles.
Snaps were clearly heard as the Venerable wailed and broke in four. The blood sprinkled everywhere to the horror of everyone.
[Since when did a 4th layer Radiant Stage expert get dismembered so easily?]
[Those things are abominable!]
“Let that be a warning. Their unity tactic is hard to defend against. Don’t let them get the drop on you.” Huangpu Fenglei shouted, his face grave.
He had roamed Tianyu back in the day and knew of the four demons’ dreadful power. They were few, but vile and insidious like fiends, not to mention stronger than an average Radiant Stage expert.
Qiu Yanhai and Xue Qingjian’s fire and water combination art could hold back ten Radiant Stage experts. The four demons’s unity tactic could deal with another ten. And with freaks like Zhuo Fan and Li Jingtian in the mix, he reckoned they’d handle ten as well, each.
Luo clan could now deal with 40 Radiant Stage experts, 10 more than Regent Estate had. This was something no one in the Regent Estate saw coming.
In just ten short years, this clan had reached such an astonishing height. The Crown Prince, second prince and many others were dumbstruck.
[Who the hell said Luo clan had no legacy? That it was made of only two people? In a blink, all their elders were on duty and freaking Radiant Stage experts at that!]
[What upstart? They were clearly a clan hiding for a thousand years!]
“Hi-hi-hi, geezer, weren’t you about to report us? We’re no longer scared of you. If you still have the guts, run away from us four demonic heroes and snitch!”
The black smoke in the air let out Violent Demon’s cackle.
Huangpu Fenglei felt a headache. He stuck close to Huangpu Tianyuan, as the latter and Leng Wuchang looked on with worry.
The four demons were notorious. They were madmen, doing whatever whenever, regardless of circumstances and orders.
They were a bigger threat than even Zhuo Fan!
The Crown Prince ran to Zhuo Fan and cupped his hands, “Steward Zhuo, today is Luo clan’s award ceremony. You can’t shed blood. Please cease hostilities, and call back your elders.”
“A red sky is an auspicious sky! We should make it so in reality as well. We shall turn the ceremony into a sign of prosperity!”
Zhuo Fan waved him off with his trademark evil grin, “Elder Li, who was it that struck first?”
“We did it at the same time. But he taunted me first!” Li Jingtian answered.
“In that case, we can’t turn back as cowards.”
Zhuo Fan laughed, “Elders, it’s showtime!”
Zhuo Fan gave the start with his left hand turning into the Earth Dragon Claw while his right shined. Li Jingtian grinned and black energy roamed. Xue Qingjian and Qiu Yanhai held hands as fire and water fused, releasing waves upon waves of power.
At such a display of power and glancing at the four black spots in the sky, Huangpu Fenglei felt like crying.
[What is wrong with today?] They only wanted to cut some of the Luo clan’s momentum and curb the new house’s development. [So how did it turn the other way around with us getting curbed?]
Not to mention this had stopped being a mere beating; they already had a casualty. If this went on, Luo clan’s fiends would kill them all.
They were all hoping their allies would back them up, but Hell Valley, Pill King Hall and Merry Woods, who usually cheered them on every chance they got, now looked anywhere but here. No help was coming from them, that was for sure.
The Luo clan and Regent Estate’s war had had them loose too much already. And now that the Luo clan had come in full force, they’d be dumber than a rock getting caught up in that maelstrom of carnage…
