161: Chapter 161: Peerless Monstrosity?
Sikong Jing’s entire body shuddered as he stared at the Divine Turtle on the ground, huge as a mountain, realizing that this indeed was the method to breaking through to the Heaven Realm.
His impromptu spear thrust had finally made the Divine Turtle reveal the truth.
However, the Golden Divine Dragon spoke somewhat irritably, “Regardless, you must possess the Beast Heart; otherwise, you won’t reach the Peak of the ‘Emperor Beheading Technique’.
You will still succumb to its backlash and die.”
The Beast Heart was their bottom line for acknowledging Sikong Jing.
But Sikong Jing, for a moment, didn’t know whether to believe it was true or false and could only nod heavily and say, “I remember.”
Then, the Black Prison Devouring Sky Tiger spoke in human language, “If you want to watch, watch.
I give you half an hour.”
The crowd of beasts nodded their approval, no longer refusing Sikong Jing the chance to observe.
Taking a deep breath, Sikong Jing wasted no more words and began to observe the Ten Thousand Beasts.
His gaze quietly swept over them, and his Dantian, which resembled the head of a Fierce Beast inside him, was unknowingly becoming more solidified.
Gradually, Sikong Jing lost track of time, as if he had merged with the beasts, become a beast himself.
It was as if he had become one of them in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sky Prison, yet also as if he stood above all the beasts.
He seemed able to sense the sorrow and unwillingness in the hearts of the Ten Thousand Beasts and feel their endless hatred.
This feeling was incredibly strange…
as if he could empathize with them, wanting to roar up at the sky in rage, cursing the Five Heavenly Emperors.
“Time’s up, get out!”
Suddenly, the voice of the Golden Divine Dragon sounded, and Sikong Jing’s consciousness gradually faded within the Ten Thousand Beasts Sky Prison.
After a long silence, the beasts slowly turned their gazes towards the Golden Divine Dragon…
The Black Prison Devouring Sky Tiger asked in confusion, “This human’s state just now, he was almost awakening his Beast Heart.
Why did you suddenly interrupt him and send him out?”
The awakening of the Beast Heart, wasn’t that what the Golden Divine Dragon cared about most?
Although only half an hour had passed, Sikong Jing’s performance had taken them by surprise; they had originally wanted to let him continue.
The massive Divine Turtle rushed to answer, “Because the Beast Heart awakened after observing us is not a true Beast Heart; its wildness is far from enough…
this way, it will only bind his talent.”
The Golden Divine Dragon took up the conversation, its voice hoarse, “Whether he is a conspiracy of the Five Heavenly Emperors or not, this child is indeed the best choice for the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts; his talent is beyond our imagination.”
A glint of extraordinary light shone in the eyes of the beasts; just half an hour had nearly triggered an initial awakening of the Beast Heart, truly terrifyingly powerful.
At that moment, the beasts felt a bit of anticipation for Sikong Jing to truly become the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, to lead them out of their prison, and strike at the Five Heavenly Emperors.
And just as Sikong Jing had just left the Ten Thousand Beasts Sky Prison…
Outside the warehouse of Luoshui Jade Line, the shrill scream of Little Huan suddenly rang out, “Thunder Wing Trading House, what are you doing?”
Little Huan had been assigned by Luo Shuizhe to guard outside the warehouse, and at this moment, she stared fearfully at the people before her, as Thunder Wing Trading House’s people, led by their boss Thunder Wing, had come here.
They were definitely up to no good; what did they want to do?
The big boss of Thunder Wing Trading House, named Thunder Wing and sporting a big beard, called out menacingly, “Luo Shuizhe, I know you’re in the warehouse, come out!”
The boss of Thunder Wing Trading House naturally wouldn’t bother with a maid.
The doors to the warehouse opened, and Luo Shuizhe and Luo Ning came out with grim faces, the former staring at Thunder Wing and asking, “Thunder Wing, our Luoshui Jade Line has already been keeping out of your way, and last time’s issue has also been resolved, what more do you want here?”
The last gambling fight between the two trading houses had ended with Luoshui Jade Line’s victory.
Afterward, people from Thunder Wing Trading House, very disgruntled, colluded with Luo Ning’s cousin Xiao Wu and her second mother Xiao Mei to frame and kill Luo Ning and Sikong Jing; later, Sikong Jing turned the tables with Ah Hu and Old Zhang, not sparing a single one of them.
In the end, this incident was excused by Luo Ning and Luo Shuizhe as an encounter with a terrifyingly fierce criminal and brushed aside.
At the time in Ru Yun Town, the only one from the two houses who survived was Luo Ning, and she could spin the tale however she wished…
Partly because of this, the disputes between the two trading houses also seemed to be over.
But how long had it been since the Thunder Wing Trading House came looking for trouble again.
With a sneer, Thunder Wing said, “I’ve already investigated it.
Last time in Ru Yun Town, it was your Luoshui Jade Line that trapped and killed my son Lei Dong and the others.
Those tales of a murderer are all fabrications by you.”
“To trap and kill my son, your Luoshui Jade Line even went so far as to kill your own people.”
As his words fell, Luo Shuizhe stood stunned.
Could it be that the Thunder Wing Trading House really found something out?
But Luo Ning coldly said, “To impose a crime upon someone, if you Thunder Wing Trading House want to harm us, just say it.
Why bother looking for an excuse?”
She did not believe that Thunder Wing could have found out.
Luo Ning was all too clear about the circumstances back then; Sikong Jing and the two generals would not trouble themselves by spilling the story.
Therefore, this could only be a pretext for the Thunder Wing Trading House to swallow up the Luoshui Jade Line.
As expected, Thunder Wing began to laugh ominously and suddenly shouted, “Bring them up.”
In the next instant, both Luo Shuizhe and Luo Ning’s gazes fixated, filled with both anger and urgency.
Their people from the Luoshui Jade Line had actually all been captured and were now being escorted over by the Thunder Wing Trading House.
This indeed was a well-prepared conspiracy.
At this time, one by one, the core members of the Luoshui Jade Line began to scream, calling out to Luo Shuizhe and his daughter to save them quickly.
The father and daughter felt a chill all over.
They had not expected that spending just a few hours in the warehouse would lead to such a terrifying event.
“Luo Shuizhe, just admit that it was you who trapped and killed everyone from the Thunder Wing Trading House in Ru Yun Town,”
“And I’ll give you and your family a way out,”
As he spoke, Thunder Wing grasped a large knife and placed it at the throat of Luo Ning’s mother, his face twisted with maliciousness.
Yes, he had no evidence, but Thunder Wing was determined to swallow up the Luoshui Jade Line.
Luo Shuizhe shuddered violently, knowing that admitting it would be the end of everything for him; reputation, riches…
Conversely, Thunder Wing could then swallow up the Luoshui Jade Line in broad daylight.
And moreover, they wouldn’t be dreaded by their peers, instead earning a great reputation!
Just when Luo Ning and the others were at a loss, a terrifying roar akin to a Fierce Beast emanated from the warehouse.
Instantly, father and daughter were jolted sharply and exchanged a glance.
Right, the real murderer who had slaughtered the people from the Thunder Wing Trading House was in the warehouse, and he had now reached the Earth Realm Peak.
Hope ignited in the hearts of father and daughter.
Simultaneously, the roar also vibrated the minds of the Thunder Wing Trading House people, causing a buzzing sound.
Thunder Wing asked with caution, “Luo Shuizhe, what are you hiding in your warehouse?
A demon beast, what kind of demon beast have you raised?”
At this moment, Luo Shuizhe had calmed himself down, bolstered by the presence of Sikong Jing.
Just as he was about to speak…
An utterly terrifying force of vital energy emanated from the warehouse.
Luo Shuizhe and Luo Ning involuntarily turned around and then saw in the pitch-black warehouse, a pair of bright eyes suddenly appear.
As deep as the ocean, clearly human eyes but at that moment, they didn’t seem human!
Everyone felt a sense of panic, as if being crushed under a giant Fierce Beast, as if the whole sky was about to collapse.
A few words flashed across everyone’s minds: An unparalleled evil creature?
