"I told you that you may be able to deceive others, but not me!" Zheng-Fu replied indifferently to the green freak. He knew its energy level wasn't stronger than the other two he had encountered earlier.
"Huh! Arrogant human! Do you think that just because you know my identity, you can defeat me? What a daydreamer! Even if you're a Divine King cultivator, you and I are from different classes, remember! If I really wanted to kill you, you wouldn't be standing there smiling like this. But since I have other matters to attend to, I'll leave for now. When I…"
Blop!!!
Argh!!!
But before the green freak could finish speaking, its throat was already gripped by Zheng-Fu's hand.
"A lame bastard like you is thinking of killing me? What a presumptuous fool! Do you really think I'll believe you? I eat rice, not grass. I'm not foolish enough to not see how weak you are!" Zheng-Fu said with a cunning expression, his eyes fixed on the green freak. He knew the creature was just trying to threaten him before fleeing.
"You… you… you!!! You dare!?" The green freak did not expect Zheng-Fu to act so quickly. It had been indifferent to the four elders and Hai-Dong, but only Zheng-Fu and the mysterious young man had made it paranoid about revealing its true abilities. However, it had never expected Zheng-Fu to strike first.
It had thought it performed well in the position of the new city governor, using its proud transformation technique. But Zheng-Fu had already seen through its secret. Now, with no time to respond, it realized that if it stayed, it would have only one option: death. Still, it had hoped to terrorize the young man with its words, but it had failed.
"Huh! The penalty for anyone daring to invade human territory is death!" Zheng-Fu ignored the creature's threat. He had no intention of letting it go. He intensified the energy in his hand and squeezed the green freak's throat.
Crack!!!
Argh!!!
Slash!!!
Not only did Zheng-Fu crush its neck, but he also used a flying dagger to stab its lower abdomen—the source of its energy. He didn't trust that simply breaking its neck would kill it, so he destroyed its energy core as well.
"Sigh! Wherever I go, I keep encountering other races. I don't know how many have entered this land now. Every one of them I've met so far has been at the Divine King stage!" Zheng-Fu lamented, thinking about all the freaks he had encountered, including this one.
All of them were strong and numerous. If anyone other than Zheng-Fu had faced them, it would have been a difficult fight. The only exception was Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Country, where many skilled martial masters had gathered. Of course, there were also high-level Divine King cultivators among them.
Thus, since skilled martial masters from all over gathered there, a kingdom without such protectors would be easily destroyed. If Zheng-Fu didn't hurry back to the denomination, Blue Land wouldn't be an exception.
This incident caused the frontier city to fall into chaos. The city governor, the people's only hope, had turned into a freak, and the right-hand commander was dead. Who would protect the city now? Naturally, panic spread, and everyone hurried to pack their belongings, preparing to leave for a safer city.
Half a shichen passed...
After De-Tong and his daughter returned to pack their belongings and informed their underlings of the move, everyone gathered at the city exit, including Xuan-Ji and Xuan-Hai, the weapon dealer.
"Respect, Young Master Fu-Zheng!" The two greeted Zheng-Fu humbly and respectfully upon seeing him and the group surrounding him.
"You two are well, right?" Zheng-Fu raised his hand in greeting and casually inquired about their health.
"We're fine. By the way, we haven't seen each other in a year. Young Master, you look even more handsome now!" Xuan-Ji, normally a talkative person, spoke earnestly this time—not to coax someone into buying things. Zheng-Fu indeed looked better, much more mature than before.
"I'm still the same, Sister Xuan-Ji. Come on, stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and bring your belongings to the airship. We need to leave as soon as possible!" Zheng-Fu, unfazed by the compliments, cut off the conversation. He didn't want to waste any more time and urged De-Tong and Xuan-Ji to bring their luggage to the Noah Zeppelin.
"All right!!!"
Another half a shichen passed...
"All right, everyone, our journey won't take long to reach Blue Land. So don't worry too much. Just find a good grip and hold on tight!" Zheng-Fu shouted, signaling everyone who had already boarded the Noah Zeppelin to get ready for departure.
In the grand hall of the Noah Zeppelin...
"What is this thing? It can float in the sky, right?" A voice filled with doubt and curiosity rang out within the crowd in the grand hall.
"I'd like to know that too. Could someone try standing outside and come back to tell us?"
"Right! Would you please go stand outside and come back and tell us if it floats?"
Everyone was curious, but no one was brave enough to stand outside and risk it. No one dared to be the first to test whether the airship could actually float.
"Do we really have to move to a small kingdom like Blue Land?" someone asked.
"Why are you asking so many questions? It doesn't matter where we go. As long as it's safe and we can keep living, that's enough!"
"Yeah! There must also be liquor and women!"
"Yes, you're right!"
Ha ha ha!
The awkward atmosphere shifted as the group's humorous remarks filled the air. Everyone had lives filled with constant danger, so it didn't matter much where they went. As long as it was safe, with food and shelter, that was all that mattered.
"Alright, all passengers, the Noah Zeppelin is about to leave. Please take good care of yourselves!"
GROOOAAAN!!!
PHEEEW!!!
After Zheng-Fu finished speaking, the Noah Zeppelin floated dozens of feet above the ground before taking off, disappearing from the sight of the people and cultivators in the frontier city.
Two lis away from the frontier city...
"What a terrifying young man! If we had taken a single step, we'd all be dead. I didn't think humans had such talented youngsters as this. Was it worth it for us to come here? What do you guys think?"
In a corner of the dense forest, about two lis from the frontier city, a group of four or five mysterious people had gathered. They had been watching the events unfold from start to finish. And due to the green freak's death, they dared not move or let the slightest aura slip out of them. Their energy level was not much different from that freak's.
"That's right, as you said. Although we're stronger than that green bastard, we're not much better. Even if we work together to deal with that kid, our chances of winning are slim. From what I've seen, he's not even using his energy to the fullest!" said another mysterious man in a calm but creepy tone.
"We could have been dead by now if we had gone into the city earlier, as we agreed with the green guy. Fortunately, we encountered a bunch of stupid humans earlier. It delayed us and allowed us to arrive later than planned!"
"Even if the green bastard is dead, our plans can't be canceled. That kid's not here anymore, so we'll quickly get rid of all the humans and move on!"
"Well! I agree with what you said. Our mission is to wipe out as many humans as possible. Let's hurry up and clean up this place before moving forward!"
Mhm!!!
Swish!!!
Swish!!!
In fact, Zheng-Fu had detected all of them from the start; he only pretended not to know. Zheng-Fu cast a new spell that he had created. It was as powerful as the initial Divine King stage martial master's attack.
To create this spell, he used the blood of a demon beast or demon because their blood contained an energy that enhanced the spell's power several times. And, of course, the spell Zheng-Fu created was deadly enough to kill them all at once if they attacked simultaneously.
Booooooooooom!!!
Back on the Noah Zeppelin...
"Kid, are you that confident in your spell?" After the Noah Zeppelin had been soaring through the air for a while, the mysterious young man suddenly asked.
"To some extent. But I'm not completely sure it could kill them all. It all depends on luck and destiny, whether or not they come into the city at the same time. Also, the spell isn't perfect yet, because I only invented it when I arrived at the frontier city!"
Zheng-Fu turned to reply to the mysterious young man, a sly smile forming at the corner of his mouth.
"Just invented? Are you telling me that you used a newly invented spell to deal with four Divine King stage cultivators? Where did you get that confidence from?" The mysterious young man couldn't help but put on a shocked expression. He couldn't believe that Zheng-Fu's spell was newly invented and hadn't been tested yet.
"Yes! If you ask me if I'm confident? No, not at all, Elder, but I think it might work. Come on! Whatever the outcome, I've done my best. Everyone has their own burden and destiny. If my spell doesn't kill them all, it's their fate to carry on with their karma. But if my spell does work, that's a pleasant surprise!"
Zheng-Fu couldn't help but say this because everyone has duties and obligations for which they must be held accountable. As for him, he also had the people, clan, and disciples within his denomination to care for.
"Sigh… I know this law of nature very well. No one can help us all the time. So, we must help ourselves as much as we can!" said the young man in a sad tone.
"That's right, no one can help us all the time!"
