Chapter 194 - Kill the Chicken to Scare the Monkeys (2/2)
“Are there any outstanding people in the Xin family this year?”
“I’ve heard that Xin Jiayu has reached E tier already!”
Everyone began chattering among themselves, starting to dismiss the topic about Qin Feng and at the same time worried that Xin Zhen would reduce Qin Feng to a bloody smudge on the ground.
Xin Zhen rose from his seat, but before leaving he gave Qin Feng a look that housed contempt in his eyes.
The people shuffled after him, moving on the red carpet as it led them to the house’s backyard.
The headquarters of the Xin family, even in an area in Chengyang where real estate was ludicrously expensive, had this feeling like it was a well-established villa complex. The backyard of the villa had a large open space
Over the open space were several large cages that were covered by red velvet cloth like they were gifts with a single energy dome wrapped over them.
“Hehe, I caught these just the day before. I wouldn’t mind showing them off to everyone, how about it?” Xin Zhen remarked, what naturally followed were a series of compliments.
Then, the cloth on the smallest cage was removed. To say that it was small was an understatement, it was smaller in comparison, standing at three meters tall and had a huge white gorilla inside.
“Silver-maned Gorilla Chief!” The crowd gasped, holding their breaths.
This creature was about E1 tier, and the silver color meant that it was a beast general to a very dangerous degree.
Those who were of lower strength felt their hair stand on ends and their knees grow weaker.
There were also some ordinary civilians who felt the aura of this ultra beast wash over them, their bodies stiffened, and they were unable to move as they stared wide-eyed.
“Hehe, Ah Yu, have a go!” Xin Zhen said.
“Yes, Grandfather!” Xin Jiayu approached the energy dome and a small gap ripped through the dome where he could walk through.
The cage of the Silver-maned Gorilla Chief was opened at the other end of the dome. Even with the protection of the energy dome, the ground shook like it was struck by a small earthquake as the ultra beast bounded toward its target.
“Phwoar!”
The massive arm of the Silver-maned Gorilla Chief was as thick as a person’s waist, bringing down a fist the size of a wash basin as Xin Jiayu dodged its attack, pummeling a crater into the ground at the point of impact.
Everyone jumped at the sight. This was the power of an E-tier beast general. Such a creature could single-handedly destroy an entire small colony. If Han Town had to deal with something like this it surely would have perished.
Xin Zhen’s gaze briefly fell upon Qin Feng. From his point of view, the boy only had a little glory in Han Town and had grown complacent, with no regard for anyone. He planned on teaching him a lesson today.
At this time, Qin Feng was watching Xin Jiayu on the field, pretending to be calm, holding a hand up in facing the ultra beast and circling it in a confident, leisurely manner as a trace of arrogance flashed in his eyes.
The Silver-maned Gorilla Chief had to be injured, otherwise how could it have been captured? Xin Jiayu’s strength was no joke and could challenge this injured ultra beast.
But his hand was injured by Qin Feng. So that meant that fighting was dangerous, Xin Jiayu still had on this carefree front. It was kind of ridiculous.
Some of the Xin family elders also noticed the situation and felt that something was wrong. Xin Jiayu was the type to go straight in with an all-out rampage, why was he playing it slow today?
Eventually, the battle ended after half an hour, the suspense of it was gripping but the people watching felt terrified.
“Haha, my grandson’s display was shameful! Still, it wouldn’t mean anything if we just keep going. How about everyone try and give it a go?” Xin Zhen exclaimed, pointing a finger at someone.
“Zhao Hong! Have a go at it!”
This person was one of the people that got hit by Xin Zhen before, the head of the Zhao Family.
The ‘chicken’ that had to be killed to scare the monkeys was right there![1]
