Chapter 262 The Overbearing Eight Forces (1/2)

”But before we head into the valley, we need to deal with something first,”

Zarlyk said as his voice became cold and his face grew dark. A killing intent was emerging from his eyes. Immediately, the chilling aura belonging to a warrior at the ninth grade of Bone Reinforcement filled their surroundings.

Then he glanced with intensity over the direction where the warriors were hiding. It should've been obvious that the man's impeccable strength granted him the ability to sense right from the start that that they were secretly watching him.

”I can see where you are hiding. Come out you weak and useless cowards!” Zarlyk shouted in a loud and chilling voice.

The warriors walked out of their hideouts one after the other. Almost all of them were wearing complex expressions: a mix of awkwardness and fear. They were unwilling to admit that they were cowards. Yet they chose to show up in response to Zarlyk because whether they were hiding or not did not make any difference. Zarlyk had already noticed them and was ready to engage when necessary.

”From now on, only warriors from the Eight Demi-immortal Forces are allowed to appear within one kilometer of this valley. I suggest you leave immediately. Otherwise, I would have to kill you!”

Arrogantly looking at the large group of people, the man claimed confidently with a disdainful look. For him, those warriors did not even deserve to breathe the same air he did. As a demi-immortal, he deeply disregarded the value of their lives.

”No! Why would we leave? That's totally insane! We're not going to leave on your command! This is not the territory of the Arhat Palace! You don't have any right to send us away!” The man's aggressive claim caused a stir among the crowd. They all shouted angrily, simultaneously objecting his unreasonable request. This valley was a public area and anyone had the right to stay here.

The young lady from the Dahlia Palace, on the other hand, remained silent. She looked at the emotional throng, a smile resting on her face. Needlessly to say, she agreed with Zarlyk. Also she did not mean to say or do anything to calm down the furious crowd or convince them to leave.

”What did you just say? Could you repeat them for me, please?”

Those objections did not help them earn their right to stay in the valley. Instead, they irritated the man. His eyes grew darker and his face became tenser. Finally, he discharged his power and targeted it forcefully towards the warriors who screamed to refuse his request to leave the area.

It was by no means a weak force. The warriors who were relatively closer to the man, or those who were weak, were pushed back quite a few steps and had to exert all their strength to steady themselves. Some of them suffered from a tight chest due to the shockwave and almost coughed blood! Without a question, the man's power was extremely overwhelming.

'So this is the strength at the ninth grade, the peak level of Bone Reinforcement? It deserves to be dimmed as the highest level a mortal could ever achieve! So strong and powerful!' Ricky sighed silently; he was also in shock. Obviously, he also felt how strong the man was. Even if he was not the target of the man's attack, he also had to channel his internal strength just to keep himself from being pushed back.
