BXBX NOVEL Chapter 83 Swift Escape
LONG GUANG WAS already fighting the head of the Sheng Family. On the other hand, Brownie was fighting those other weaker God Emperors to whom he would only slap them with his paw and become meat pastes.
While he disdained to devour weaker God Emperors, he still chose to devour others. Scarcity was not the problem. It was quality.
As the ongoing fight progressed, the heaven and earth qi within Da Sishen had greatly increased by a large margin. Everyone was busy fighting each other. Except for those outside Death City, nobody noticed the increase.
And nobody noticed the huge but inaudible breaths of a creature imprisoned at the bottom of the Hundred Deaths Gorge River.
“A member of the Dragon Race?” the head of the Sheng Family questioned as he stared at the little kid’s playful face. “Why is there still someone alive from the Dragon Race?”
“Long Guang kill!” With that, Long Guang threw another punch at the old man but had not caused any damage to him.
Yang Lujia didn’t give him any weapons to use. He only had his fist to rely on. After all, his master never expected him to fight in the first place, given his age—technically a few months old.
As for the old man, he clearly had the advantage because of the imperial relic in his hands. However, as he continued to fight with Long Guang, he knew that he could not defeat the boy. But the boy couldn’t defeat him either, let alone take his life away..
“Boy! You killed my daughter! I won’t show mercy!” he screamed and attacked once again.
Metallie came in front and suddenly confronted the old man. “Detected the enemy’s killing intent. Initiating execution,” it said.
Long Guang, on the other hand, was dumbfounded. Left dazed, his body suspended in the air.
However, long before he regained his senses, he was dragged away by Feng Huang along with Brownie. “Let’s go! The other stronger experts are now coming on their way. We’ll have Metallie block them. Let’s forget about staying within Death City for now.”
‘Damn it! That guy is really strong!’ she thought, with her gritted teeth, extremely annoyed by the fact that she could not defeat him at all.
With a stomp of her feet, she broke the only life-saver token she had and directly transported them outside Death City. With this, Feng Huang was finally able to breathe.
While she was fighting with Xia Jieke, she noticed a few auras, some even from other territories. From what she knew, those strong God Emperors from these territories had already come back to their places.
However, there were still quite several left within Death City to wait for their participants to come out from the Valley of Gods.
“Let’s hide our auras and recuperate. Little senior brother, you should rest as well. I just hope that Metallie gets through these God Emperors. Otherwise, we could only wait for the master to save us.”
‘Although I don’t want to admit him as my master, he still really is the most powerful. By then, since he wants me to accept become his disciple, I will naturally not reject him. However, on the condition that my sister should have already been saved.’
In a cave, a sleeping puppy and a little kid could be found. On their opposite side was Feng Huang. She was trying to cook food for them. She went out and caught some wild beasts and some fishes but was still unable to figure out how to cook them.
She growled in anger and threw the beasts she killed outside the cave. “Fuck it. Let’s not eat then. It’s not like we’re going to die, anyway.”
“What? The culprits of what happened were actually able to escape?!”
“Even Xia Jieke himself couldn’t hold a candle against that little girl, they say.”
“Oh right, I also heard that another little kid also appeared and killed a lot of God Emperors.”
“Nah, man. Don’t exaggerate it, lest you anger those monsters within Death City.”
“I know, but it’s the truth. My dad was there at that time. He witnessed the whole thing, you know!”
“Damn it!” Xia Jieke’s dampened mood after a few days passed became even gloomier. Particularly the news about he could not defeat a little girl.
Sitting on his father’s position as the Deputy City Palace Lord, he looked at the group of black-clothed men. “Have you already investigated their identities?”
“Yes, Deputy City Palace Lord. It is said that the little girl, little boy, and that puppy all came from the Eastern Territory.”
“That, I already know. The Eastern Territory washed their hands off of this. They didn’t want to get involved. It sounds pretty logical. Unless Wang Lao himself ordered them to cause that havoc, he would have probably hidden by now as well.
“I want to know if there are people from the Eastern Territory who are looking after these three? After all, that puppet we barely subdued wasn’t even budged with a barrage of consecutive attacks from everyone.
“If that puppet was so strong, then the puppeteer himself should be strong, or the master of that puppeteer was very very strong.”
“Yes, Deputy City Palace Lord. I’m afraid that this is a bit complicated. When you asked for an explanation from Wang Lao of their identities, did he not tell you of their identities, Deputy City Palace Lord?”
Xia Jieke showed a frown on his face. “What do you mean?”
“Deputy City Palace Lord, we just recently found out that the two little kids are actually disciples of a famous person who participated during the annual event a few days ago. In fact, Deputy City Palace Lord treats him as a friend,” a black-clothed man responded, still with his head bowed toward Xia Jieke.
Narrowing his eyes, Xia Jieke pretty much had someone in his mind already. “It’s him? Cao Nima?”
“Yes, Deputy City Palace Lord.”
Sighing, Xia Jieke patted his forehead. “This is going to be troublesome. Moreover, the matter wasn’t initially big according to the people’s testimonies, but it just erupted when that young miss from the Sheng Family made a big deal of such a simple mistake. What do you think should I do? Both parties are probably equal in strength.”
“What?” The eyes of the black-clothed man widened. “Deputy City Palace Lord, do you mean…”
“Yes, there’s probably going to be a war. And it’s not just a simple one. I am just afraid a huge force such as the Sheng Family would be eliminated. I have the feeling that Cao Nima is even stronger than me. Considering that I could probably eradicate the entire Sheng Family in one night, Cao Nima could definitely do the same.”
After taking some things into consideration, Xia Jieke ordered to halt the operation of finding the group of three. As for the puppet, he couldn’t risk himself fighting against it once more.
It was simply something he could not destroy.
Now, what he needed to do was talk to his father.
