90 Chapter 90 (1/2)
”Is it over?”
”You bet it is!”
”Can't you see how those 5 men were buried alive with just one punch each?!”
”Sorry. I didn't see it happen. It was just too fast for my eyes to follow!”
”Almost like dark sorcery! Or something a lot more sinister!”
”Shhhh! Cover your shit trap at once! You don't want to invite the wrath of Master Clark, do you?”
The audience in the City of Haran talked amongst themselves as they saw the vanishing figure of Master Clark enter into what's left of the Palace entrance of the Ning Family.
Though the fight has only realistically lasted in mere minutes but the damage it has done to the properties were astronomical.
Several huge craters had formed all over the place that marked the different spots that Clark had dodged unto amidst the onslaught of the Monster Brigade's attack.
The ruins were pretty spectacular to see indeed. Especially because an event like this one rarely happened within the metropolis.
Thus, the legend of Master Clark on this Blood Continent continued in this small city of Haran.

Within an imperial throne room.
”I have done what I said I would do, father in law. Now what about my wedding to your lovely daughter, Xi'er? How soon can we schedule it?”
Clark asked as he stood bravely before a seated King and Queen on their respected thrones of power.
This impulse to find a mate this soon in the game has totally not originated from our bored gamer but was an extreme drive brought about by the insane and lascivious character of Lu Chen.
This was a world that took strength as the basis of everything. A strong and able cultivator could even take a hundred or more wives if he wished it to be so.
And if truth be told, Clark was not entirely against this notion at all.
'I can take care of at least a thousand wives and make them all happy at the same time. If i can't even do that simple task then i doubt that i could ever take the title of the greatest playboy of all time!'
Clark almost smiled but held the thoughts down because he did not want to appear like a lewd old man in front of his in-laws.
Although he appeared 18 or so, it was an undeniable truth that this body has already seen the passage of a hundred and nineteen seasons.
”A wedding is not a simple matter, Master Clark. I want my only child to have the grandest wedding imaginable to man. Give us a year to prepare.
I think that this time is reasonable enough for both parties concerned.” It was Ning Bao who said these words. His eyes were curious about the apparent changes in Master Clark's appearance.
But more than that, what surprised him the most was the drastic drop of Master Clark's cultivation base!
When Master Clark left, Ning Bao could not fathom his realm but now that he came back, it appeared that he was reduced to a mere 4th stage of Mortal Shedding Realm.
'And yet even after this obvious realm deviation, you could still easily slaughter men of the 8th Stage of Mortal Shedding Realm.'
Although the devouring of an Ancient Titan Fiend sounded plausible but the chances of that happening to anybody in this xianxia world would be several trillions to one at best!
'What more secrets lies inside your body, Master Clark?' Ning Bao wondered in silence.
He wanted to know the reason behind this unbelievable change but was well aware that he would have only gotten a set of lies and nothing more.
'Ahhhh... Is this a blessing or a curse unto you, Xixi?' Ning Bao sighed deeply when he recalled his daughter's plight.
If not for Ning Xi's confession and her pitiful plea to help her abdicate from this wedding, there would have been no doubt that Ning Bao would have married his daughter off right this very instant!
It never hurt to have someone of Master Clark's caliber to be his son in law even at the expense of Ning Xi after all. However, Ning Bao has not the heart to deny his daughter this chance of freedom in the end.
'At least i have to try.' The good king sighed as he recalled his daughter's crying face earlier.
After Master Clark left the engagement feast a few hours prior Ning Xi poured her heart out unto her father. She felt nothing more like a hot item auctioned only for the highest bidder in place.
