562 Supreme Intimidation! (1/2)
Zi Jing Hong gave out two hollow laughs, and began to speak, ”Your Excellency mustn't blame us ignorant people like this… We weren't aware that Your Excellency was here to keep a watch over the Jun Family. And, that's why this misunderstanding has occurred. Anyway, the Three Holy Lands have a major responsibility on their shoulders. And, I'm certain that Your Excellency is aware about this. The Battle for Seizing the Heavens is scheduled to be fought in a few years from now. Everything will be normal if we win this war, but it would be disastrous if we lose it… In fact, our defeat would mean that the countless people of this continent will find themselves in danger!”
He paused for a moment. His expressions grew more solemn. Then, he continued, ”I'm afraid that no one will be able to bear such grave consequences. Everyone who has arrived here today will be participating in that fateful battle. And, that's why we've come here to promote our strengths. After all, we need to guarantee our victory in the war! We had no other alternative but to plan things in this manner. The sufferings of one family are nothing in comparison to that of the entire world! It's no secret that these mysterious pills are unmatchable and unworldly. So, they are the solution to everything. After all, these pills are miraculous. Not only can these enhance one's strength, but they can also transform one's physique for the better. That's why we took the liberty to come here and make an earnest request… And, we hope that Your Excellency gives his consent to our help. In fact, your consent will be a blessing to the people of the entire world!”
There was no doubt that Zi Jing Hong had delivered a very well-knit speech. Moreover, he had also managed to keep in inconspicuous. He had outlined their own selfish interests, and had further managed to lift this matter up to a level of sublimity… wherein this seemed like a matter of 'For the good of the entire world!'
Moreover, he had declared that all of them were going to participate in the Battle for Seizing the Heavens! [You can't mess with us even if you are extremely strong. After all, you'll have sinned against humanity if you hurt us!]
”This young boy uses his mouth very well. You think that I didn't know that you people are preparing for the Battle for Seizing the Heavens? Many people are going to participate in it. But, do you think that this gives you the right to talk in front of me? You think this Old Man doesn't understand the meaning behind your words?” the black-robed man gave an intense look as he said these words.
He stretched his right hand towards the ground as soon as he finished talking. Then, he pulled those three-four broken swords towards himself.
This 'manual control' ability was nothing extraordinary. In fact, any one of them could've done it with ease. And, that's why his evaluation dropped in their eyes as they watched him do it…
All the experts were a little confused; [Do you think that you can scare us off by showing off such ordinary skills? We would've swarmed you if we hadn't seen your imposing momentum a while ago… And, you won't be able to prevent us from doing exactly that unless you pull-out some new tricks! In fact, we reckon that your act of 'walking in the air' was also someone illusion; nothing more!]
Everyone was doubtful. But, they then saw the black-robed man flipped over a sleeve of his garment whilst laughing in a grim manner. Then, his fair hand stretched out towards the ground. And, he slowly picked a broken sword at its pointed end with the help of his two fingers.
Everyone was still in doubt when they saw that the broken sword suddenly turn soft and wobbly. In fact, the sword had started to wobble left and right! Suddenly, everyone saw that a mass of shiny silvery liquid slowly fell down to the ground…
Then, the liquid metal from the second sword fell down… Then, the third sword's…
Even the fine hair on Zi Jing Hong's body straightened in astonishment. In fact, he could only feel a sense of icy coldness at the back of his head at this time…
And, that's because those broken sword had gone through such huge transformation right in front of his eyes! Those swords had turned into a shiny-silver-like liquid in a short while. They had changed into molten iron, and had disappeared from the hands of that black-robed man!
This was dreadful! Unimaginable! Extremely terrible!
Zi Jing Hong was standing the closest to this black-robed man. But, he hadn't sensed even the slightest movement in this mysterious master's Qi-field. Consequently, Zi Jing Hong couldn't understand how he did it. [He was standing so casually… So, how did that highly-refined sword simply melt-down in his hands… How did it melt like that…]
[Many experts have arrived here for this task, but which of them uses an ordinary weapon. In fact, the swords of our experts aren't made of ordinary low-quality metals like copper. Moreover, the material of our swords would remain refined steel even if they break. And, it's needless to say that he has used his Xuan strength to melt it down. After all, that's not possible! In fact, such swords won't melt-down for free full days if they were thrown into a furnace!]
However, this black-robed man had done this with ease in front of their eyes. A mere touch of his fingers had melted the sword!
This had shocked everyone!
Everyone was gasping in astonishment behind Zi Jing Hong. All of them were scared. Everyone had doubted this man's strength a moment ago. But, they were thankful that no one had questioned this man's strength out in the open. After all, doing so would've only resulted in the said-individual's demise…
Moreover, no one would've come-up to seek justice for that deceased individual even if everyone had believed that action to be unjust. After all, only a genuine idiot would walk up to a powerhouse in order to talk about the so-called 'justice'.
”You people are in luck. After all, I'm in no mood to kill today. So, focus on what you had stated as your original intention — the Battle for Seizing the Heavens. Moreover, participate in that battle on your own merit. In fact, this Old Man will make an exception and not bother you today if you do so…”
The black-robed man continued to speak with a tone of generosity, ”After all, I'm also a part of this continent. So, why would I bother myself to destroy you if you don't provoke me, right? You people should leave now, okay?”
The expressions on Zi Jing Hong's face turned complex. Half-bodied and Xiao Wei Cheng also looked at each other in dismay. They had suddenly found themselves stuck in an impossible situation…
[We were about to declare our success in destroying the entire Jun Family. We were also on the verge of getting hold of four Beast Kings' Xuan Core. But, this mysterious master appeared out of nowhere in the middle of everything. Moreover, this man's strength can't be matched! He can easily make everyone run for their lives. So, it can be said that he's being generous to us from one perspective. But, what will happen to our reputation if we listen to him and leave?]
