“So noisy!”
Chu He’s eyes shifted calmly to the Zhang clansmen who were on their knees.
Earlier when they did not say a word, Chu He had no interest in them at all.
Now that they spoke up, however, it immediately attracted Chu He’s attention.
‘What did these people take me for?’
‘A fool?’
‘How dare they try to claim they’re being wronged!’
‘I can’t believe they have the nerve to shout it out loud.’
‘The one who led the gang even put on an almost perfect show with super genuine emotions. By just looking at his expression and tone, I can’t even find any flaws.’
However, Chu He’s existence was not on any ordinary level.
He possessed tons of secret techniques.
Such a petty act would not slip past his gaze.
Besides, apart from the guy who led the group, none of the others passed their acting tests.
Some of the people who placed their heads on the floor even had the corners of their mouths curling, obviously trying to refrain themselves from laughing. Their clan leader’s spectacular reaction had made even his own men laugh.
Hmph!
Chu He shook his head.
Then, he raised his hand.
On his palm, a golden ray was released, forming a golden aura, like a dragon hovering around his body.
He moved his palm.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Rays of golden lights blasted out from Chu He’s palm.
It was like dragons striking out.
“Senior!”
Coincidentally, Zhang Tai lifted his head and saw the scene unfold, and the sorrowful expression plastered on his face was replaced by one of terror.
‘Something’s obviously gone wrong.’
‘It seems I didn’t manage to trick Senior.’
‘In fact, he didn’t even ask for any clarification.’
‘And he immediately made a move!’
‘He’s being too decisive!’
As he watched the golden aura was closing in on him, Zhang Tai noticed that he could not even summon the courage to flee, let alone defend himself.
‘This is the end of my life!’
‘The Zhang family is done for!’
“No!”
All the clansmen of the Zhang family also noticed something was off and let out a roar of disappointment.
However, all of their shoutings were fruitless.
After a brief moment, all the clansmen of the Zhang family who were present were blasted by the golden aura.
The entire palace was filled with the smell of blood, washing away the evil aura that hung over the air.
“Hurry and write it down!”
Chu He glanced at the group of Mei clansmen and said calmly.
‘So cruel!’
‘Scary!’
Just a simple command and it made the whole group of Mei clansmen terrified.
They were afraid of people like Chu He, who had overwhelming abilities and never beat around the bush, not afraid to make a move immediately with cruel methods.
Finally, one of the Mei clansmen could not withstand the immense pressure given out by Chu He and withdrew a black hairy claw from under his huge black robe.
He lifted his hood, trembling. He placed the claw in his mouth and bit on it ruthlessly, causing fresh black blood to flow out.
Then, he used the claw as a substitute for a pen and started writing on the piece of white paper.
“You there, not bad!”
Chu He looked at the Mei clansman, who was the very first one to start writing, and praised him.
‘I am being praised!’
The Mei clan member who was writing felt his body fumbling. It was as if had been injected with chicken blood and his writing speed became much faster.
The other Mei clansmen saw the situation and all began pulling out their claws and started writing.
Chu He raised his head.
He looked at the Black Robe Protector and St. Wu Shuang on top of the stage.
Those two Mei had yet to start moving their claws.
“I won’t be happy if you guys aren’t going to cooperate!”
He spoke with a calm tone.
However, when it traveled to the ears of the Black Robe Protector and St. Wu Shuang, it was like a devil’s voice hypnotizing them, bringing with it a wave of terror and tension.
Finally, they gave in.
Under the immense pressure, they could not draw the courage and strength to go against him.
Their bodies felt heavy, unable to move an inch.
‘Why bother being stubborn? Since I’m going to die soon, why should I look out for the other comrades? Might as well drag everyone into hell!’
After some time!
All the Mei clansmen had completed their writings.
Chu He waved his hand and all the bloody papers dripping with fresh black blood returned to his hands.
Swoosh!
He made a swift movement with his palm, and he rapidly flipped through each page of the thick stack of bloody paper, like a booklet.
Swirling ripples could be seen in Chu He’s eyes. Even though the papers were being flipped at an incredible speed, he could still read through every single word on the papers and even memorize them.
To him, it was a small feat.
On ordinary days, he would be reading his book at a very slow pace because he was experiencing loneliness in life.
In the book depository, he was not reading books but reading life.
In just a few breaths’ time, he had finished reading through the thick pile of bloody paper.
The contents on it were almost the same.
That was to be expected. After all, it was not a game of completing a treasure map. The intention of Chu He making all of the Mei make a copy was so that he could compare them.
Chu He stretched out his hand and took out two pieces of papers from the stack of bloody papers. Then, he shifted the aura on his palm and the rest of the bloody papers started burning into ash without the need of a fire.
Apart from the remaining two pieces of papers in his hands, the other bloodstained papers had not much info on them and they lacked details.
He could understand why that was.
After all, it was obvious that the two people on the stage were the masterminds while the other Mei clansmen were just underlings. Hence, it was only natural for a discrepancy of information to exist.
“Very good. This makes me rather satisfied.”
Chu He nodded.
Then, he suddenly raised his hand.
It was a familiar scene!
The Black Robe Protector and St. Wu Shuang!
‘This powerhouse really is ruthless and doesn’t have an ounce of grace!’
‘He should have at least said something before making a move to at least give us a chance to prepare!’
‘Why did he have to do it straight away?’
Roar!
At the brink of death, the Black Robe Protector finally overcame the terror that had rooted itself in the depths of his soul. He opened up his arms and let out a roar. The black robe on him burst open and revealed his body that was cloaked in evil auras.
He looked like an enlarged version of a huge bat that was standing upright without wings, and had long hairs throughout his body.
He had a sharp mouth and canine teeth. The black evil aura was swirling around his body, forming a solid object that resembled black pus. The aura even gave off a bad smell which made one queasy.
Following the tremendous aura being spread out by the Black Robe Protector, the other Mei clansmen felt the protector’s aura struggle against the aura of the mysterious figure, it made the pressure on their bodies lessened and they were finally able to move. Their expressions were delighted and they finally felt that there was hope again.
The next second, they all got up simultaneously and broke down the walls and were ready to escape from the place.
It never once crossed their minds to team up with the Black Robe Protector to fight against Chu He.
It was obvious that after the Black Robe Protector had performed that explosive display, he had burnt up all his energy and even used up a secret technique, and that was all just to forcibly break out of the restriction!
However, that was just a restriction on the aura!
The Black Robe Protector had used up all of his strength.
It was obvious that the two parties were nowhere near the same level.
It would lead to nothing but death if he stayed back to challenge Chu He.
Might as well run for their lives!
Everyone would remember the honorable protector for the rest of their lives.
His spirit of sacrificing himself for the sake of ensuring the continuation of the Mei clan will be engraved into their hearts.
Even though he was currently cursing!
However, that was not important.
Chu He revealed an astonished expression.
He did not expect a mere Demi-King was able to free himself from the tiny bit of aura that he had let out.
Granted, the strength of the aura he used was just at the very basic level of the King rank.
However, that was already a very impressive feat!
Indeed, it seemed that living beings on earth would be able to exceed their limits and potential at the brink of death.
However, it was just a tiny bit of potential.
When dealing with him, breaking their limits was still meaningless.
Even if a mere Demi-King were to unleash the strength a few ranks beyond his status, Chu He would still be able to easily hold him down.
