Chapter 2149 - 2122: Ge Cangtian the Butcher
"Hmph, like blocking the tide with a mantis arm, overestimating one’s capabilities."
Seeing his Sword Qi being blocked, the man in black showed no change in expression. The longsword in his hand trembled more violently, and his Swordsmanship became increasingly fierce. Eventually, all the fierce Sword Qi coalesced together, and with a single sword strike, it unleashed a crushing momentum.
"Pfft!"
Faced with the formidable sword strike, Huang Yuanzheng and Huang Zhengde had no power to resist. They were like being struck by lightning, their True Qi shattered instantly, and blood uncontrollably sprayed from their mouths, their faces turning ghastly pale in no time.
"Is this the strength you guys use to oppose me? In my eyes, you are nothing but useless, Huang Yuanzheng, Huang Zhengde. Who gave you the courage to stand against us? Do you even have the qualifications to contend with us?"
The man in black sneered at Huang Yuanzheng and his son, saying, "In this world, there are always ants who don’t know their limits, wanting to provoke elephants. How could they know, in the eyes of elephants, you are merely ants, and to kill you, I could crush you effortlessly with just one foot."
Speaking here, the man in black grew tired of pointless words and said bluntly, "Enough, it’s getting late. I’ll send you to the etherworld now. After killing you, I’ll send your grandson to the etherworld, to let your family reunite on the road to the etherworld."
As he finished, the man in black spread open his fingers, with a mass of True Qi emanating from his palm. With a flick of his arm, this mass of True Qi roared forth, swelling against the wind, transforming into a Sword Qi dragon, whisking through the air, slashing directly.
Watching the Sword Qi dragon roar toward them, Huang Yuanzheng and Huang Zhengde couldn’t help but reveal a bitter smile, wishing to evade but having no means to do so. The man’s previous strike had severely injured them; even if they wished to dodge, they most likely couldn’t. All they could do was watch the approaching Sword Qi dragon, about to claim their lives.
"Five Fire Saber Gang!"
As Huang Yuanzheng and Huang Zhengde were about to be engulfed by the sky full of Sword Qi, suddenly, an extraordinarily cold voice rang out of nowhere.
With the sound, the entire space immediately filled with scorching waves that cleared the skies. Behind Huang Yuanzheng and Huang Zhengde, a flash of fire appeared out of thin air, quickly condensing into a saber shape and weaving into a fiery net, confronting the Sword Qi and sweeping it away entirely, then with sharp intent, slashed towards the man in black.
"Who are you!"
The man in black slapped repeatedly with his palms, shattering the Flame Saber Qi, then stared coldly at the space behind Huang Yuanzheng.
While the other two men in black also quickly gathered beside this man, their eyes fixed firmly on the space behind Huang Yuanzheng.
A man, seemingly in his fifties, had appeared at some unknown time behind Huang Yuanzheng. This burly man appeared very robust, with a full beard and a face full of rough features. Combined with eyes as big as copper bells, he looked especially fierce.
Despite having no apparent aura, at this moment he made the three men in black feel as if facing a major threat. After all, the previous attack already demonstrated the terrifying strength of this suddenly appearing man.
After sensing the gaze of the three men in black, Huang Yuanzheng and Huang Zhengde instinctively turned their heads. Upon seeing the man behind them, their bodies couldn’t help but recoil a step, their faces covered with an unconcealable hint of horror. They too were at the middle-stage mythical level, yet standing behind them now, they felt absolutely nothing. It’s as if the man didn’t exist, suggesting how immense his power must be.
Realizing this, Huang Yuanzheng felt a tinge of trepidation. If he had agreed to the man in black’s proposal to join forces against Yama Palace, it might have led to their inevitable demise.
After all, the man’s sudden rescue implied he had been hidden nearby all along without their knowledge, proving he could kill them effortlessly.
The man forced the retreat of the man in black with one cut, then slowly descended from the sky and walked forward. He stopped less than a meter from Huang Yuanzheng and Huang Zhengde, speaking calmly, "Mr. Huang, Family Head Huang, I’m glad you made the right choice earlier. Leave the situation here to me. I’ll take care of these ants; you may now step back and enjoy my performance."
After speaking, the man didn’t give Huang Yuanzheng and Huang Zhengde a chance to respond. He strolled forward.
In an instant, the man reached a spot less than three meters away from the three men in black.
Seeing the tense-looking men in black with their serious expressions, the man’s mouth twisted into a mocking smile: "Are you three ants trying to make a move on the Huang family? Seems you don’t know the meaning of the word death."
His voice was filled with derision, dismissing the men outright. These three had crushed the Huang family, yet in his eyes, they were no different from ants he could easily crush with one foot.
The three men in black said nothing, only stared fixedly at the man, eyes flickering uncertainly, muscles taut, exuding a sense of impending threat. Especially as the man approached, they felt as if a mountain were pressing down, causing immense pressure.
After a while, one of the men in black spoke deeply, "Who exactly are you, sir? Do you really intend to meddle in Huang family affairs?"
While speaking, their eyes remained fixed on the man, flickering, their minds frantically searching for who this man could be. To force back someone at the peak of mid-stage mythical level, his strength was self-evident. They desperately wished to avoid facing him.
"Who am I?"
Upon hearing the man in black’s question, the man stroked his knife and laughed, "I am called Ge Cangtian, but most prefer to call me ’Butcher’."
