600 Imprisoned (1/2)
The person who stopped Zhou Bao from walking looked very fierce. He was a brute with muscles all over his body; even the muscles on his face grew wild. He carried a big black axe in his hand, and it turned out to be a wizard weapon of Pure Yang Celestial Device Level. Looking at his cultivation, this person, who looked like Li Kui, was unexpectedly a real master. He was an Individual Immortal at the Mysterious Realm and was about to achieve Genuine Immortal Karma Rank by undergoing the Thunder Tribulation. All this implied that you couldn't judge a person by appearance, just as you couldn't measure the sea with a pint pot.
Standing in front of the city gate, he stared at Zhou Bao intensely and asked, ”Who are you? What are you doing in Yunzhong City?”
”What?! Can't I enter Yunzhong City casually?”
”You could do so previously, but not now!” When he saw Zhou Bao giving him no straight answer, the brute's face darkened. ”Do you have anything to prove your identity?”
”No, I don't!” Zhou Bao shook his head. Although he already had a legal identity in the Infinite Star Sea, now that he had decided to act rashly, that identity was therefore not needed anymore. He even changed his appearance to the original one. It was quite normal for him to be found out since he had walked swaggering in the Thunder Crab Star. If no one were able to find him out, that would be abnormal.
Seeing that the brute was dumbfounded by his bold and forceful answer, Zhou Bao laughed. ”What? Haven't you recognized me yet? As far as I know, my wanted poster has already been drawn and is now spreading through the Infinite Star Sea. As one of the most direct portals to the Pond of Illusive Ripples, I guess people there have no reason not to know me, right?”
”You are Zhou Bao?!”
Upon seeing Zhou Bao's fearless appearance, the brute finally confirmed the speculation in his heart, and he held the two axes horizontally in front of him. In any case, everything had already been said clearly in the wanted poster. Zhou Bao seemed to be an Individual Immortal, but he had the combat capability to fight against an Eight-tribulation Lord of Heaven. Although he didn't believe that, he didn't dare to be careless when he was facing Zhou Bao.
”Right, I am Zhou Bao, the authentic one!” Wearing a smile on his face, Zhou Bao moved his body forward and pointed the Green Bamboo Stick in his hand at the brute.
The brute immediately looked serious and held the two axes as fast as the wind in front of him to block the Green Bamboo Stick.
BANG~~
There was a loud bang that could shake the heaven. Under Zhou Bao's attack, the brute's tough body flew swiftly backward just like a kite with a broken string and collided heavily with the thick city wall. Not knowing how many forbidden skills were added to it, the city wall suddenly shone with a dazzling brilliance, but it still couldn't stop his momentum. He slammed heavily into the wall, leaving a big human-shaped hole in it, and then finally, his momentum was stopped. He spat a mouthful of blood and slid down to the ground along the wall. Under Zhou Bao's attack, the two thick, black axes in the brute's hands were broken into pieces and scattered everywhere, leaving them completely destroyed.
”Enemy attack!!!”
It was not until the brute's body slid down the city wall that other guards in Yunzhong City reacted to it. They let out a shrill cry and sounded the alarm at the same time.
On the huge wall of Yunzhong City, a faint glow began to appear. Although it looked very weak, it was more bright than the brilliance gave off when the brute hit the wall just now. The pressure it transmitted was much stronger.
”Who are you?! How dare you behave presumptuously in the Yunzhong City!”
Several loud shouts came from the city. And before the sound came, the people had arrived.
To Zhou Bao's surprise, there were seven or eight of them, with all of them being at the Venerable Realm. Each one of them was a fierce-looking person. And they were staring at Zhou Bao with a somewhat nervous expression.
”Is this the Infinite Star Sea?! How odd it is!”
Zhou Bao was sure that these guys had recognized him at first glance, therefore, they were a little nervous. However, obviously, the practitioners in the Infinite Star Sea didn't believe the rumor on the wanted poster. In fact, Zhou Bao himself would not believe it either if that wanted poster was put in front of him. How could a Level Nine expert have a combat capability equal to an Eight-tribulation Lord of Heaven? Anyhow, it just sounded like a fantasy story. The gap between these two levels was too big, even to the point where a fairy weapon could not bridge that gap.
Think about it, actually, there was no need to consider whether a Level Nine expert could operate a fairy weapon or not. Even if he were able to do that, once he met a Lord of Heaven, his fairy weapon would only end up being captured by that Lord of Heaven. So how could he contend against a Lord of Heaven?! Furthermore, it was an Eight-tribulation Lord of Heaven who was only one step away from stepping into the Realm of Human Immortal!
This was simply a joke, a load of nonsense!
However, even if everyone thought so, the Infinite Star Sea still gave great importance to Zhou Bao.
Of course, this kind of attention was not given to Zhou Bao personally, but to visitors from the Heaven Realm. In their view, with two Lords of Heaven guarding the Pond of Illusive Ripples and by sending some more Venerables here, it would be enough to suppress the influences of the Heaven Realm in the Infinite Star Sea. After the incident happened in the Heavenly Falling Star, they were more vigilant about the visitors from the Heaven Realm. They sent many more Venerables to guard this place, but they had not yet sent any practitioners of the Lord of Heaven Realm here.
”Are you Zhou Bao, the one from the Heaven Realm?!”
The leader asked with a darkened face as he looked at the trail of destruction left on the thick city wall of Yunzhong City and the faint but strange Qi Power that the cyan-robed scholar before him emanated.
”Yes, I am Zhou Bao from the Heaven Realm!” The corners of Zhou Bao's mouth slightly curved up, turning into a sneering smile. ”I'm going to head toward the Infinite Star Sea; you all get out of my way!”
”Brat, how arrogant you are!”
None of these practitioners at the Venerable Realm had expected Zhou Bao to be so arrogant. In the time it took to utter just a sentence, Zhou Bao successfully incited everyone's killing intent.
