Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch. 697 - The Death of Xu Kong
Lin Ming and the three senior brothers Zhang En were forced away from where Zhang En and Xu Kong were, their faces currently turning deathly pale. While Xu Kong's figure staggered a few meters back.
As Xu Kong steadied his body back, shock and disbelief were seen all over his face as he stared at Zhang En, "I-This, how could this be?!"
Xu Kong's cultivation was at the 6-Star Golden God realm, while Zhang En was still at the 3-Star Golden God realm.
The corner of Zhang En's lips curved into a cold grin, “Is there anything you want to say? If not, I can send you to hell if you still talk a lot....!"
Xu Kong's face turned crimson, then became purple like eggplant skin. His eyes bulged with an unspeakable fury that had reached its breaking point. His hands clenched as a stifling killing intent filled the room.
Zhang En simply watched him with a look of indifference.
Swoosshhhh!!
Suddenly, Xu Kong's murderous aura disappeared, fusing internally as he spoke, “Zhang En, you have killed my Brother. Originally, according to the decision of the Great Elder of our Sky Tower Sect, your punishment was that all your bones should be broken and skinned alive before purifying your soul and using your head as an offering to my sister. However, as long as you hand over all the gifts you received to the Sect and obediently to be given a soul mark to serve the Sky Tower Sect for the rest of your life. That way, our Sect can let you live as you should?"
"What?!” Lin Ming exclaimed furiously hearing that.
Zhang En smirked slightly, replying, "And if I refuse?"
Xu Kong laughed cynically at Zhang En, “Defy? You better think about it well before you answer. If you disagree, not only will you disappear from this world, everything and everyone you come into contact with will also die
"There's nothing I need to think about! My answer remains the same."
Xu Kong's eyes narrowed, covering the coldness in his eyes, "Because of that, I hope you won't regret it when the time comes."
As he said this sentence, he turned to leave.
The true purpose of the Sky Tower Sect sending Xu Kong was to capture Zhang En and bring him to their Sect should Zhang En refuse their terms. However, Zhang En's strength was beyond Xu Kong's expectations.
He was not confident of being able to catch Zhang En, hence he decided to go first and report the matter.
"No need to leave so soon after coming to see me."
Xu Kong barely turned around as Zhang En's voice rang out in his ear.
"Have I allowed you to leave here?"
Xu Kong's body stopped, then laughed out loud, “Hahaha! Zhang En, I admit you are strong, but do you think you can kill me? I can come and go as I please!”
Wusshhh!!!
Right at this moment, Zhang En's body turned into a gigantic dragon destroying the sky building of the villa, emitting the power of a majestic dragon that locked onto its target. At the same time, the dragon claws smashed downwards.
Xu Kong turned deathly pale, his heart instantly falling into despair.
"NO-NO!"
He cried out in fear, every last strand of qi within his body churning as his palm struck the dragon claw that came in a mess.
However, Zhang En's dragon claws easily dispersed all of those attacks, which did not even slow down his speed.
Rumba!
The villa shook violently in protest.
The floor under Xu Kong's feet cracked, his body buried into the ground, with his flesh breaking and blood spurting out. His breath was running in and out.
Lin Ming and the three senior brothers Zhang En were at that place, stunned to see the incredible dragon figure in the air, their expressions could not be spoken with words.
Wussshh!!
In an instant, Zhang En's figure returned to normal, standing right above Xu Kong in midair. The suction force came from Zhang En's hands, pulling Xu Kong out of the ground. At the same time, the demonic power that could devour anything became excited.
Howggg!!!
All of Xu Kong's life energy and power flowed into Zhang En's body, causing Xu Kong's once-strength body to shrink rapidly as it turned into a dried corpse.
In no more than a few breaths of time, Zhang En finished the process, letting the dried corpse fall as he shot a piece of fire element energy over it, burning it to ashes.
"Teacher, let's go." Zhang En said to Lin Ming who was still stunned like a statue.
It was only then that Lin Ming and also the three elder brothers of Zhang En came to their senses, rushed after Zhang En and still felt like they were in a dream.
A short while later, the five of them had exited Ashura City, and continued to fly through the sky.
…
One month later.
Zhang En's group had arrived to the Spirit World unhindered. Even while on his way back, Zhang En did not relax in the slightest.
All the gift pills he received he consumed, utilizing every second he could to cultivate. Until finally, his cultivation advanced to the middle stage 3-star Golden God realm.
They then entered the fire spirit world portal and headed straight for the Fire Spirit Sect.
