561 Killing the Chicken to Warn the Monkey (2/2)

”Ugh, ugh, ugh...” As a Supreme of Demons, he held a position of respect in the Dark Sect. Over the past centuries, he always had his way. How did it end up like this?

Zhou Bao's speed and strength completely broke Qiao Huai's confidence. Even if he wanted to speak, he could not. With one strike, Zhou Bao had shattered the Dark Gang protecting his body. Clutching him by the neck, Zhou Bao lifted up the withered man.

A frigid cold desire to kill emanated from Zhou Bao's eyes. In his merciless smile was a glint of mockery, deriding the Supreme of Demons overconfidence, ridiculing how he walked the path to his own demise.

”I can now tell you, that your men of the Dark Sect died in vain, just like you will!” Zhou Bao's gentle voice resounded in the ears of everyone present. Seeing Qiao Huai, Supreme of Demons' body, they all started to struggle. But Zhou Bao did not move an inch. As he was holding up Qiao Huai, Supreme of Demons, the Treasure Light Tower was hushed, and you could hear a pin drop.

As each moment passed, Qiao Huai, Supreme of Demons struggled more and more slowly, until eventually, his legs kicked violently twice, and he stopped breathing.

There was dead silence.

It was as if Qiao Huai's last kicks hit the others straight in their hearts. Rays of light settled on Zhou Bao, like demons that had emerged from the depths of hell.

The five biggest sects gathered together in the Treasure Light Tower of the Divine Wind Palace. The Supreme of Demons of the Dark Sect, noble of the Divine Wind Palace, was strangled alive in the presence of The Elders and the Highest Elder.

Indeed, it was neither a punch nor a celestial device that killed him. He was strangled alive by bare hands. He was strangled alive like any ordinary person.

This way of killing was not bloody, and not exciting. But it was dull and depressing to the extreme. Qiao Huai, Supreme of Demons shook violently and struggled frantically. Each movement, each second was printed in their minds. They had seen the whole ordeal as Qiao Huai struggled to survive, from his initial surprise, to his panic, to his disbelief, and finally to his pleading expression. All of it was entrenched in their memories. Qiao Huai was the Supreme of Demons. He was stronger than anyone there. But because of one sentence that was spoken, this was how things came to be. They grieved for their fallen companion, but they were also deeply scared.

This Zhou Bao was far too unruly.

Zhou Bao really did not want to follow the rules of others. He broke into the inhibition of the Divine Wind Palace, stormed into the Treasure Light Tower, and heard White Tiger fiercely cry, ”Your School of Five Virtues has long colluded with the Dark Sect. Their Pneuma-sucking Skill is no secret to you!”

Zhou Bao did not know what Pneuma-sucking Skill was, and did not know why the School of Five Virtues was colluding with the Dark Sect. But he had instinctively worked out that the Dark Sect was involved.

Therefore, after Qiao Huai's provocation, he killed him without hesitation. It was because he wanted to gain prestige, but also, the Dark Sect was not at all one of the five biggest sects. Even though it had some strength, it was not in league with the five biggest sects, because within was a complicated array of influences, not like in the Divine Wind Palace. Killing him would cause much less trouble than killing someone from the five biggest sects. This Qiao Huai practically walked into danger on his own accord.

Of course, it was not fair that it was Qiao Huai who died. He could not have imagined that Zhou Bao would have wantonly killed someone in the Divine Wind Palace without saying a word, and in such a way.

”Where is Wang She now?!” In silence, Zhou Bao turned to look at White Tiger.

”I don't know!” White Tiger took a deep breath, he clearly had no response. ”As soon as someone came back, they were detained by the School of Five Virtues!”

”Is that so? Zhi IX, was detained?”

”Zhou Bao, you've have gone too far!” Zhi IX responded at last. He screamed, pointing at Zhou Bao, ”So brazen, how dare you just so wantonly kill people in the Divine Wind Palace. Who gave you the right? Who... ugh...!”

No one clearly saw Zhou Bao move. Just like before, he was grasping, holding Zhi IX up by his neck.

”Zhi IX, I hope your subordinates are able to bring Wang She to you before you die!”

Zhi IX whimpered and flushed red. Just like Qiao Huai, he began to struggle.

”Zhou... Zhou Bao! We need to speak, but please put him down!”

Now White Tiger was scared. He was a fearless person, except that he was afraid now. As arrogant as he was, and as annoying as he was, that was all in the Penglai Region. This, this was the Divine Wind Palace, the family's headquarters, teeming with experts and immortals. There was no space here for such disgraceful behavior.

Zhou Bao said nothing. He just glanced at him in silence, his gloomy, cold eyes sending a shiver down his spine.

Then, Li VII came out of nowhere, and said to Zhou Bao, ”Zhou Bao, if you kill Zhi IX, there's no redeeming the situation!” This guy seemed to have a look of schadenfreude on his face.

”This situation was never redeemable,” Zhou Bao said indifferently, ”You let them go, and I'll let him go. If not...!”

Before he finished speaking, an angry roar burst out, and a hand reached through the space towards Zhou Bai, clutching for him.
