Chapter 738: Executed on the Spot
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The eyes of Lu Ping, who was in the city lord mansion, instantly turned cold. A chilly light flashed in her eyes, and she didn’t bother transmitting her reply. She directly snorted, “Using Lu Shan, Lu Xia, and Lu He to pressure me? Your clans are so mighty and impressive. The Lone Wolf is staying in courtyard number 1777. Go and grab him if you have the guts.”
“Hahaha!”
A burst of laughter suddenly came from courtyard number 1777 and lingered in the air. A figure shot into the sky, and Jiang Yi stood proudly in the air as his gaze swept across Hong Yi and the rest. “Look no further, the Lone Wolf stands before you right now; and if you have the ability, you can directly barge in and grab me. You clans are indeed overbearing and arrogant. Your Young Masters can kill whoever they want, and other people are forbidden from killing your Young Masters—is that it? Is it possible that your clans are the dictator of the Gods Bestow Tribe?”
“Uh...”
The entire city went into an uproar, and countless people silently praised Jiang Yi’s valor. He actually dared to oppose them so openly in such a situation. However, they just thought about it. Since the enemies already came knocking at the doorstep, how would Jiang Yi show his face to the world if he hid like a turtle?
Yang Dong and the rest raised their thumb silently. The way Jiang Yi used others to do his dirty work was perfect. He merely used several sentences to thoroughly enrage the other party, and the moment they fell into disarray, Lu Ping would kill all of them in accordance with the Lu Clan’s rules.
The people of the Hong and Li Clans were indeed enraged, and their gazes shot over like blades. Hong Yi started laughing despite the anger boiling in his heart. He locked onto Jiang Yi and said, “Good, good. Little brat, you are really gutsy. Let’s not mention the matter of you killing the young masters of our Hong and Li clan. You’re really daring for causing so much fuss publicly. If I don’t kill you today, our clans won’t be able to show our faces in the Gods Bestow Tribes any longer. Lordess Lu Ping, we’ll break the rules today; and after this, we’ll return to the Lu Clan’s Disciplinary Court to receive our punishment. Kill!”
Hong Yi was completely enraged, and after being humiliated again and again, where would the reputation of the two clans be if they returned with their tails between their legs?
As such, he was ready to take a gamble. He was betting on the fact that Lu Ping wouldn’t dare to make a move. As for the trouble that the Lu Clan would cause them in the future, he wouldn’t think too much about it right now. As he said, he would head over to the Lu Clan’s Disciplinary Court to accept his punishment. The relationship between the Clan Heads of the two clans and several elders in the Lu Clan was pretty good. If the elders would mediate on their behalf, they would at most be sentenced to half a year of forced labor.
It was a small matter for them to be punished, and the main point was for them to regain the honor of their clans. There was no way they could forget about taking revenge for the young masters of the Hong and Li Clans. Otherwise, their clans would definitely be looked down upon by clans—both large and small—in the White Dragon Archipelago. They wouldn’t even be able to continue upholding their reputation in the White Dragon Archipelago if that were to happen.
“Please pardon us, Lordess Lu!”
Li Xie cupped his hands and snorted as their auras transformed into two Gold-Winged Rocs as they charged into the city. There was a barrier above the city, but they casually swung their hand and tore the barrier to shreds as their bodies shot into the city.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The moment the two of them made their move, the several hundred people behind them were naturally no longer going to show any restraint. All of them transformed into raging dragons as they rushed into the city while heading in the direction of the western region of the city where Jiang Yi was located.
Swish! Swish!
Within the city, countless Heaven Monarchs flew into the sky. Yang Dong and the rest soared into the sky and surrounded Jiang Yi. Their divine shields appeared, and they drew their weapons. As long as those people dared to come close, they would make their move with a single order from Jiang Yi.
At this moment, Lu Ping fell into silence. None of the commanders in the city moved a single muscle, and the experts in the city lord mansion didn’t express the slightest intention of helping. This caused Hong Yi, Li Xie, and the rest to reveal a cruel laugh. This also caused the expression on Yang Dong and company’s face to change drastically.
“What are you doing? Are you trying to rebel? Get lost! Without my order, I’ll kill anyone who dares to move.”
Jiang Yi’s expression didn’t change, but he berated Yang Dong and the rest with a loud shout. Everyone obediently flew back after they were scolded as he stood proudly in the air as he faced the enemy. The Fire Cloud Armor around his body didn’t appear and much less the Thunder Fire Divine Shield. He simply stood with his back straight in the air as he quietly awaited the arrival of several hundred people.
“Gulp...”
Over ten thousand people in the city held their breaths as their eyes widened. Yang Dong and the rest clenched their fists with worry as blue veins bulged out on their face. However, Jiang Yi didn’t give the order, and none of them dared to make a move.
“You little bastard, you dare to kill my clan’s young master? I’ll let you die without a burial site today! Go to hell...”
Sky Thunder City was extremely huge, but what was Hong Yi’s true strength? He was moving at the speed of light, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared before Jiang Yi. As his hands started to move, he suddenly shot out ten strands of finger forces. The instant the ten strands of finger forces shot outwards, everyone in the city felt their soul spirit start to shake. They felt as though there were ten unstoppable artifact swords which appeared and could pierce through anything.
“Chief Jiang, hurry up and dodge!”
When Yang Dong and the rest saw that Jiang Yi wasn’t moving, all of them panicked like a cat on a hot tin roof. Niu Deng even started bawling, but Jiang Yi pretended not to hear him. His body stayed still in the air. He didn’t release the Thunder Fire Divine Shield as though he was a warrior prepared to die.
“Hmph!”
At this moment, a severe and cold snort resounded in the air as Lu Ping’s angry voice transmitted through the entire city: “Everyone in the city can bear witness. Hong Yi and the rest disregarded the city lord’s warning and forcefully charged into Sky Thunder City. They also made a move in the city to kill someone. Just a moment ago, I recorded everything down in an image stone, and I’ll submit it to the Disciplinary Court myself. Right now, as the City Lordess of Sky Thunder City, I, Lu Ping, represent the Lu Clan to execute the people who dare to break the rules!”
Just as the words left her mouth, the clouds above Sky Thunder City changed color. The heaven and earth essence qi rapidly gathered and turned into the face of an ugly old woman. The instant the face appeared, everyone became unable to move. The ten strands of finger force stopped in mid-air and were no longer able to advance.
“Lu Ping... you dare?”
The faces of Hong Yi and the rest changed. However, they were still high-stage Heaven Monarchs in the end, and Lu Ping was a peak-stage Heaven Monarch. She already had half a foot in the God realm, and there was a huge gap between their strength. It was already praiseworthy enough for them to be able to open their mouth.
Li Xie never thought that Lu Ping would really make a move. Her actions meant that she was completely offending both clans and also Lu Shan, Lu Xia, Lu He, and the upper echelons of the Lu Clan behind them. Even though there was definitely someone backing Lu Ping, her gains really didn’t make up for the losses.
In fact, the two of them really didn’t know the importance of Jiang Yi to Lu Ping!
Lu Ping was already old, and there was no longer a chance for her to break into a higher realm in her life. She was going to return home to enjoy her life in retirement after leaving her post in Sky Thunder City. Jiang Yi could help her obtain a huge amount of celestial stones and allow her to obtain a huge amount of training resources for her descendants. Her lineage would slowly grow stronger, and her words in the Lu Clan would carry more weight. She naturally had to protect Jiang Yi.
So what if she offended Lu Shan and the others? She wouldn’t have a chance to climb higher in her life anyway, and those who didn’t have shoes weren’t afraid of those who had them.
Chi! Chi!
As the wind and clouds in the sky started to move once again, and the heaven and earth essence qi gathered. The ugly face disappeared, and it was replaced by a palm which was skinny and looked like it was only made out of bones. The moment the palm moved, the air shook. Many weaker slaves were sent to their knees. A lofty building was smashed into the ground while the ten strands of finger force were directly shattered.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Under the pressure of the giant palm, the buildings below turned into rubble, and many martial artists spat out blood as they were buried alive. Hong Yi and the rest were shocked and started screaming. Li Xie used all the strength in him to yell, “Lordess Lu Ping, we were wrong! Please forgive us this one time and don’t kill us!”
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Lu Ping’s palm didn’t slow down in the slightest as it directly shattered the divine shields of everyone below it. The bodies turned into meat paste, and a pungent smell filled the skies as a rain of blood fell onto the land.
Ss, ss...
Everyone in the city took in a cold breath as they were frightened by Lu Ping’s giant palm. Jiang Yi’s body was long since pressed downwards, and he was smashed into a pile of rubble. He looked at the giant palm as with a frightening light in his eyes. This was a divine ability which belonged to a true expert. A single palm could kill several hundred Heaven Monarchs, and there were even two high-stage Heaven Monarchs among them. The might of someone at the peak stage of the Heaven Monarch realm was already so powerful... what about existences infinitely close to the Gods?
