Chapter 243 Intimidating The Three Heavenly Kings (1/2)

There were Four Heavenly Kings at Master Hou’s service, namely East Heaven King the Paint-face, North Heaven Queen the Peony Fairy, West Heaven King the King-kong, South Heaven King the Snake Lord. They were all at the middle stage of Transforming Strength.

The Peony Fairy was dead. The Paint Face specialized in body movements, and the King-kong focused on body-refining while the Snake Lord was good at poison.

Above them, two other mighty martial artists also served Master Hou. They were Miyamoto Shinji, an innate master whose duty was to protect Master Hou, and Wuya, the commander of the Black Crow Army.

It was certain that Miyamoto Shinji was a master of the level of the innate. But almost no one knew how strong this Wuya actually was. People only knew that Master Hou had enormous trust in this man and gave him the Black Crow Army, the most powerful group of assassins.

The three Heavenly Kings gathered in the hall. Mu Tingchuan was also there. Miyamoto Shinji did not like this kind of event. And now that Master Hou was gone, he did not attend.

Although Master Hou was dead, Mu Tingchuan’s status in Master Hou’s organization remained. He sat down in the first chair on the left of Master Hou’s seat. The Snake Lord and the Paint Face sat in the second and the third.

The seat opposite Mu Ting Chuan was specially reserved for Wuya and the seat opposite the Paint-face was King Kong’s, the West Heaven King.

According to how they were seated, one could easily tell that Mu Tingchuan and Wuya’s status were equal and also above the Four Heavenly Kings.

East Heaven King the Paint Face looked like a fair pupil with slight femininity. His greatest hobby was watching and singing opera. He even established a theater, although the shows were mostly for his own entertainment.

West Heaven King, the King-Kong, was a muscular man whose size was twice as big as Dumbass’s. His massive muscles made him look like a mountain. The chair he was sitting on was made out of metal. Master Hou had it specially made for him.

Since the upper body of the Snake Lord was bare, one could clearly see the enormous serpent tattoos on it. And two live snakes were wriggling on his body, their heads roaming on his palm and their tongues flitting in and out.

It was said that many people who had offended Snake King were killed by those two poisonous snakes, and Snake King was also a master of poison and had already reached a state of being immune to poison.

Including North Heaven Queen the Peony Fairy, these were the Four Heavenly Kings who once helped Master Hou conquer this world. Every one of them possessed a great force. Mu Tingchuan was Master Hou’s brain, Wuya was his poisonous blade to kill the traitors and enemies, and the Four Heavenly Kings were Master Hou’s weapons in the battlefield.

None of them could be replaced.

Though they were not the only ones that Master Hou could count on, they were the most important figures who held real power. That was why they were all summoned here by Mu Tingchuan today.

All three Heavenly Kings looked gloomy today. It was obviously because of Master Hou’s untimely death. The world was never short of geniuses, but it lacked the eyes to find them. Master Hou found them and offered them a place. If it wasn’t for Master Hou they could not have become what they were today. And it was because of their loyalty that Master Hou dared to declare war on the Long family.

King-kong clenched his fists tightly. “Master Hou was killed by a woman and Mr. Tingchuan intends to bury her with him?” His voice boomed like a thunderbolt.

It was obvious that King-kong didn’t know much about love between a man and a woman.

The viper on the Snake Lord’s hand kept rattling. “Love is indeed a great thing, but I still believe that all women should be poisoned to death by my snakes,” he said with sorrow.

The Paint Face sniggered, “If all women were dead, how are men supposed to be born?”

Snake King whirled his head around to look at Paint Face. Then he sneered, “I heard you had a crush on that Ye Xinyi? But she’s dead now, isn’t she? You must hate his guts. After all, he was also the reason for her death. But he’s our master now, which means you can’t seek vengeance against him. I guess that must be hard for you.”

“Shut your mouth!” Paint-face held out his fist, intending to punch the Snake Lord. Yet it stopped one inch from the Snake Lord’s face. The hairs on his body were standing on end because two small snakes were already entangled on his body. It was beyond doubt that the two snakes would bite him hard if his fist continued its course.

“It’s not a good habit to strike somebody without telling him first. The Snake Lord grinned, “I’m a good-tempered man, but that doesn’t mean I won’t fight back.”

Paint-face put on a sour face, his eyes gleaming with intentions to kill. “Maybe a fight will show if it’s true or not,” he said slowly, word by word.

Mu Tingchuan spoke, “Stop this nonsense. Master Hou has just left us and you’re already fighting each other. Have you forgotten that you were his most trusted confidants?”

The two finally stopped arguing.

King-kong asked, “When will Wuya arrive?”

Mu Tingchuan replied, “Soon, I suppose.”
