Chapter 894 - I Will Punch Your Birdhead
“Why is a holy daughter being so violent? You should accept the truth. The only path of survival in front of Lakshmi City is to ally with the five ancient gods and become a subordinate state.
“Although the word subordinate state sounds a little unpleasant, actually being under the five ancient gods isn’t so bad. I, as the son of an ancient god, will take you as a concubine and rescue you from this abyss of suffering.”
Jia Tiankuang’s voice came from the other end of the hall. At some point in time, only an afterimage was left behind on the seat. The main body was looking down from the sky.
Li Yunmu pulled his fist back. He turned around to look at the smiling Jia Tiankuang and said, “I was actually giving you face. Even if Lakshmi City falls in battle, we wouldn’t become slaves of the five ancient gods. You are thinking too much. Additionally...”
After saying until there, Li Yunmu disappeared from in front of the main seat. The expressions of the envoys sitting motionlessly until that moment froze after seeing her movement.
A doubt took root in everyone’s heart at that moment. The music clans of Lakshmi City walked the path of sound laws, so when did a holy daughter with such a fast speed appear?
When Jia Tiankuang saw that Li Yunmu’s figure was an afterimage similar to his, he became vigilant in his heart and turned his attention to the energy fluctuations in the surroundings. As someone who stood at the pinnacle of the god realm, he naturally wouldn’t place an initial stage god like the holy daughter in his eyes. But if he was beaten by a sneak attack, he would turn into an enormous joke.
“You think your speed is fast, eh?”
Li Yunmu did not finish speaking before he suddenly appeared behind Jia Tiankuang and attacked with a punch bubbling with divine energy.
Before Jia Tiankuang could respond, the punch struck his back, and waves of divine energy entered his body. They were mixed in with a hint of black power.
The attack sent Jia Tiankuang flying, and he crashed into the ground, below the steps of the stage.
“You-you little girl are being too impudent! I will have to teach you a lesson.”
Jia Tiankuang sensed a burst of pain coming from his back. The divine power which was injected in his body began to wantonly roam around in his body, and his expression tightened. No one had dared to act toward him like that before. Among the five envoys that came, his strength was the highest.
Just a moment ago, if he hadn’t thought of showing leniency and became somewhat absent-minded, how could the little girl appear behind him without him detecting her?
Jia Tiankuang used the divine energy in his body to purge the enemy’s divine energy which was wantonly running around in his body, but he lost his focus the next moment and was surprisingly unable to control the divine energy in his body. Even after trying again, the situation did not change.
Jia Tiankuang raised his head and looked at Li Yunmu in the sky.
“You little girl, what exactly did you do?” he demanded in an ice-cold voice.
“What? I just sealed your cultivation. Aren’t you very good at running? Now continue doing that!” Li Yunmu said with a sneer.
When he thought of Jia Tiankuang’s careless actions as well as his words from just a moment ago, he felt a wave of nauseousness in his heart.
He moved and arrived in front of the panicking Jia Tiankuang, then he just let his punches loose without any pattern. Without cultivation, Jia Tiankuang was a completely ordinary person with the exception of a divine body and a formidable regenerative ability.
While being hit by countless punches, Jia Tiankuang was sent flying again and again. That envoys behind him also used divine power to intentionally push him in front of Li Yunmu.
When the four envoys saw the battered and exhausted Jia Tiankuang, sneers appeared on their faces. The four of them were really delighted by seeing the usually arrogant Jia Tiankuang in dire straits.
“You aren’t a holy daughter from Lakshmi City! Lakshmi City’s holy daughters only walk the path of sound laws and never step on the path of close quarter combat. Who exactly are you?”
Jia Tiankuang looked at Li Yunmu while wildly spitting out blood with dread in his eyes.
How could a holy daughter of Lakshmi City walk the path of close quarter combat? Garuda was the fastest among the seven ancient gods, so being his son, Jia Tiankuang had also inherited this innate skill, so his speed was the highest among the envoys.
But even if the fact that a holy daughter of Lakshmi City wasn’t cultivating sound laws, but rather walking the path of close quarters combat was forgotten, her speed surpassed that of Jia Tiankuang, who had an innate gift in terms of speed! How could this make any sense!
When he spoke, the entire main hall went completely silent. The four envoys looked at Jia Tiankuang whose whole body was covered in blood as if they were looking at an idiot.
Li Yunmu’s punches hadn’t used any divine power, and there wasn’t even a hint of any martial art in the way he attacked, so how could Jia Tiankuang’s accusations hold any value.
The only thing that needed explanation was her speed at first, but Ancient Goddess Liu Qing had probably done something which allowed a holy daughter, who was an expert at controlling sound laws to catch up to Jia Tiankuang. After that happened, he was beaten until he turned foolish.
Li Yunmu looked at the wide-eyed Jia Tiankuang and grinned. “Why am I not a holy daughter of Lakshmi City? Who said that the holy daughters of Lakshmi City can only walk the path sound laws? I will punch your birdhead as much as I want.”
After saying that, his body trembled, and he turned into a blur that appeared at Jia Tiankuang’s side. One after another, small holes appeared on Jia Tiankuang’s body. They came with the sound of bone breaking and blood seeping out.
Clang.
Li Yunmu returned to his original position while Jia Tiankuang fell on the ground, unconscious. The main hall was quiet for a time then.
After a long time, Di Fan stood up and walked out. The thunder sparks coming from the lightning imprint between his eyebrows were extremely eye-catching.
“The holy daughter should’ve already vented her anger. Just a moment ago, Brother Tiankuang’s words were indeed disrespectful, and we all apologise toward you. There’s also Ancient Goddess Liu Qing to consider.
“We four urged Brother Tiankuang to not request Holy Daughter Hu Shi to call for your distinguished self, but Brother Tiankuang had always been arrogant and obstinate, so the four of us couldn’t do anything,” Di Fan said with a smile, pushing all the responsibility on the unconscious Jia Tiankuang.
But at that moment, Jia Tiankuang managed to regain consciousness, and when he heard what was being said, he spat out another mouthful of blood.
Li Yunmu looked at the four envoys and smiled in amusement.
Brunhilda, who was sitting before him, looked at Di Fan who had walked out to handle the matters and frowned.
“You say that everything was Jia Tiankuang’s responsibility and that the four of you were unable to persuade him, so does that mean that he alone is stronger than the four of you?”
When she asked that question, Di Fan was slightly startled and wondered why she was using reason which went against common sense.
After a moment of silence, he explained himself. “Naturally, that’s not the case. The five of us chosen by the five ancient gods have comparable strength, so apart from innate skills, there isn’t much difference between us.”
“If that is the case, how were you all unable to stop him? Doesn’t it mean that you just didn’t want to stop him?” Brunhilda asked casually while looking directly at Di Fan, who was averting his eyes from her.
Di Fan’s expression went stiff, and his smile froze on his face. With Jia Tiankuang quitting, they should have gained an advantage, but they hadn’t expected that Ancient Goddess Liu Qing would be so overbearing. Any intelligent person could see through the matter, but whether they would bring it out in the open was another matter.
When Ancient Goddess Liu Qing directly spoke the truth, wasn’t she implying that the four envoys had ulterior motives?
