"You..." Yu Tai’s already dark aura suddenly became explosive and murderous. He glared at Su Chen, almost unable to control his breath. How had he ever been subjected to such humiliation?
’What am I supposed to be, huh?’?!
Yu Tai’s eyes seemed to spit fire...
The key was that the one who had spoken was just a kid at the third level of the Divine Power Realm. Even if this kid had some special traits, could fight beyond his level, and was a genius, so what?
Among those present, who couldn’t fight across several minor realms?
"I want you dead!" Taking a deep breath, Yu Tai actually drew his weapon, a gun with a square handle, its tip crafted from Sky Meteorite Gold. Chilling to the core, it emitted a silver glow and brimming with evil Qi, this gun was a Superior Divine Artifact.
Holding the long gun, its tip pointed directly at Su Chen.
About to make a move.
But it was just at that second.
Zhou Zheng spoke out, "Stop!"
Zhou Zheng stared at Yu Tai, his eyes carrying a cold warning.
He did not wish to see the humans start fighting among themselves even before entering the Ruins.
"Yes!" Yu Tai’s expression changed drastically, but he could only sheathe his long gun and nod respectfully.
Zhou Zheng’s words, he had to obey. Zhou Zheng came from the Buddha Domain, and even the Royal Family of the Four Great Ancient Nations had to give face to him, let alone, Yu Tai’s strength was also extremely formidable; he dared not defy him.
"Boy, consider yourself lucky!!!" Yu Tai sheathed his long gun but his eyes still gazed at Su Chen, his mouth twisting with a look of resentment and cruelty, just let this kid live a little longer! Once inside the Ruins, he’d have his due!
Thereafter, Zhou Zheng looked at Su Chen again, "Once you enter the Ruins, don’t go overboard."
Zhou Zheng was hoping Su Chen wouldn’t start a killing spree; he still hoped the humans could stay united, after all, the greatest enemy was still the Monster Beast Clan.
"Naturally!" Su Chen nodded. Discover more novels at NovєlFіre.net
Yu Qingrou’s beautiful eyes sparked, flashing a hint of surprise.
Zhou Zheng’s attitude towards Su Chen seemed better than towards Yu Tai, and even, on careful listening, Zhou Zheng seemed to be commanding and reprimanding Yu Tai, while with Su Chen, there was a sense of negotiation that was a bit more conciliatory.
Could it be that in Zhou Zheng’s heart, Su Chen was more important than Yu Tai?
Though Yu Tai was arrogant, sinister, and manipulative, his strength and talent were unquestionably exceptional.
She had seen Yu Tai’s records; he had once reached the Fifth Level of Heavenly Fate purely to enter Qiu Qing Ancient Ruins this time, he forcibly lowered his martial arts cultivation rank.
Moreover, when Yu Tai was at the Fifth Level of the Heavenly Fate Realm, he was able to defeat cultivators at the Eighth Level of the Heavenly Fate Realm.
Once inside the Ruins, once Yu Tai found a way to return to his original realm, even she, Yu Qingrou, had to be cautious around him.
Moreover, Yu Tai was only twenty-one years old, two years younger than Su Chen.
No matter how you looked at it, Yu Tai was stronger, much stronger.
"Could Zhou Zheng have misjudged?" Yu Qingrou muttered to herself internally, but with no change in expression, she glanced again at Su Chen, trying to see through him, alas, Su Chen remained as calm and silent as ever.
Thereafter, Zhou Zheng looked towards Wu Lao, abruptly saying, "Wu Lao, if you don’t want Niu Kang to die, then now, let Niu Kang apologize to Jun Luoying."
As soon as Zhou Zheng spoke,
everyone’s faces changed dramatically!
If Zhou Zheng were not Zhou Zheng, people like Woo Xiang, Zhang Luan, and Yu Tai would have burst into mocking laughter.
Could it be that, according to Zhou Zheng, Niu Kang was no match for Jun Luoying?
"What did you just say?!" Niu Kang, feeling deeply insulted, turned red with anger, his breathing grew more violent, and his Wolf Fang Club even began to emit a whining resonance. His bull eyes stared at Zhou Zheng, edging towards losing control.
Tyrant Rat and others also wore ugly expressions, glaring at Zhou Zheng with undisguised murderous intent. Zhou Zheng’s nonsense was not just an insult to Niu Kang, it was an insult to the entire Monster Beast Clan.
"Zhou Zheng, are you serious?" However, what was even more horrifying was that Wu Lao, the leader of the Monster Beast Clan, did not explode with anger. Instead, he fixed Zhou Zheng with an unsettled, gloomy look and even cast a somewhat doubtful glance at Jun Luoying.
"Do you think I would joke with you?" Zhou Zheng said indifferently, "Before they all entered the ruins, we cannot fight in front of these ruins. Otherwise, the aura from the fight could affect the surrounding Illusionary and Real Space, and there might be no way to establish the Teleportation Gate. Otherwise, I definitely would not have stopped Jun Luoying from wanting to teach Niu Kang a lesson."
"You!!! What did you say? Human scum! I will kill you!" Niu Kang roared explosively, heedless of consequences, swinging his Wolf Fang Club. With that swing, one could clearly feel all the air being obliterated in that instant, the entire mountain trembling. The Wolf Fang Club, crossing through space, seemed to enlarge infinitely and was about to smash down on Zhou Zheng.
But in that second, Wu Lao intervened, catching the Wolf Fang Club in Niu Kang’s hand with one hand: "Niu Kang, calm down!"
His voice wasn’t loud.
But as his words fell, Niu Kang, who had been on the verge of losing his sanity in his rage, suddenly quieted down, his bull eyes filled only with awe.
Clearly, Niu Kang was very afraid of Wu Lao.
And Zhou Zheng, from beginning to end, didn’t move, as if he had anticipated everything.
In a blink, Wu Lao spoke again: "Niu Kang, apologize to Jun Luoying!"
Niu Kang was stunned, Tyrant Rat was stunned, Tu Yun and others were all stunned, and Yu Tai, Woo Xiang, and others were likewise dumbfounded.
Only Yu Qingrou, her beautiful eyes sparkling even more intensely.
"Wu Lao, on what grounds?" Niu Kang was utterly aggrieved. He was Niu Kang!!! The incredibly formidable Niu Kang! To apologize to a human girl?
"On the grounds that I’m saving you. Apologize!" Wu Lao said blandly, his voice brooking no argument.
"Saving me? Wu Lao, you... you can’t think this little girl can really teach me a lesson, right? Wu Lao, if she dares to make a move, I, Niu Kang, with one move!!! Just one move! I could obliterate her!" Niu Kang exaggeratedly said, raising his voice considerably.
"I said, apologize!" Wu Lao’s voice also raised slightly.
Suddenly, Niu Kang’s figure shuddered, and he even took a step back. It was clear he held great reverence for Wu Lao, even now, when he was utterly aggrieved and his rage was nearly materializing.
But he still respected Wu Lao.
He took three deep breaths to barely suppress his anger, then looked at Jun Luoying: "Little... no... not that, Jun Luoying, I... I, Niu Kang, apologize!"
He really apologized.
Jun Luoying gazed deeply at Niu Kang: "Once we enter the ruins, I will kill you!"
Having said that, she turned and returned to Su Chen’s side.
Meanwhile, Niu Kang’s breathing faltered, nearly driving him mad.
He apologized because of Wu Lao!
This damned little girl, she really thought she had the strength to defeat him?
