Chapter 1174: Chapter 1175: Lord Liu Dao
"No grudges?"
Chu Fengmian’s lips curled into a faint cold smile.
"Do you think I wouldn’t know about the things you’ve done?"
"The information the Hidden Assassination Society received, it should have been released by your Ancient Snake Chamber of Commerce, right?"
"What people from the Hidden Assassination Society? Chu Fengmian, don’t slander me!"
Upon hearing Chu Fengmian’s words, Ouyang Li was already greatly shocked in his heart.
He had guessed a bit about Chu Fengmian’s purpose, but he didn’t expect that Chu Fengmian would even know about matters regarding the Hidden Assassination Society.
"Still planning to argue? I didn’t come here to chit-chat. From today onwards, the Ancient Snake Chamber of Commerce can disappear from the Ancient Snake Empire."
Chu Fengmian stared at Ouyang Li, sneering repeatedly.
"You want my Ancient Snake Chamber of Commerce to disappear? It seems you still don’t know what kind of place this is!"
Ouyang Li’s eyes flickered, as if he saw a Tunneling Light coming from afar.
"Chu Fengmian, now I give you a chance; kneel and submit to our Ancient Snake Chamber of Commerce. We can pardon your actions today. This is your only chance."
At the moment the Tunneling Light arrived, Ouyang Li felt a bit more confident.
No matter how strong Chu Fengmian’s power was, it didn’t matter. The reason the Ancient Snake Chamber of Commerce managed to stand in the Ancient Snake Empire without being dared to provoke wasn’t just because of the Eight Great Royal Clans.
But because of their own strength in the Ancient Snake Chamber of Commerce.
"Have you arrived? Since you’re here, stop hiding and show yourself! You should be the trump card of this Ancient Snake Chamber of Commerce; come out and meet me!"
Suddenly, Chu Fengmian’s expression turned icy as he struck abruptly, gathering Spiritual Power above his head that transformed into an immensely gigantic War Dragon’s Claw, hurling it towards the sky.
This War Dragon’s Claw, at the moment it tore through space, caused the space to tremble. A tremendous force of Spiritual Power exploded from it, accompanied by another War Dragon’s Claw, colliding midair.
In the instant of this collision, a figure slowly emerged.
This figure was a middle-aged man wielding a long blade, his face as sharp as a chiseled blade, with piercing eyes.
Every move contained supreme blade intent, far more terrifying than the Divine Blade Five Ancestors Chu Fengmian had seen before.
A True Emperor!
This person should be the Great Sacrificial Officer of the Ancient Snake Chamber of Commerce, Liu Daojun.
This person exuded endless majesty, but now, being struck out into the open by Chu Fengmian’s overhead claw, his face looked extremely unsightly.
A dignified quasi-emperor being seen through and struck by a mere Heavenly Realm youth was undoubtedly a highly embarrassing affair.
"Great Sacrificial Officer."
Seeing Liu Daojun appear, Ouyang Li respectfully spoke from the side.
"Please, Great Sacrificial Officer, kill this brat."
"Shut up."
Hearing Ouyang Li’s words, Liu Daojun spoke unceremoniously.
Even though Ouyang Li was the president of the Ancient Snake Chamber of Commerce, he was, after all, only a quasi-emperor, insignificant in the face of Liu Daojun, a True Emperor.
"Chu Fengmian, I didn’t expect you to actually be a Half-step Emperor Sovereign. The previous incidents were the fault of our Ancient Snake Chamber of Commerce. By killing our two vice presidents today, that should have sufficed to quell your anger, right? From now on, all grudges will be written off, we will not interfere with each other."
Liu Daojun looked at Chu Fengmian and suddenly said.
Half-step Emperor Sovereign?
When this term emerged, a hint of fear appeared in Ouyang Li’s eyes.
Half-step Emperor Sovereigns are not quasi-emperors but those who have endured the First Tribulation of True Emperor and failed but did not perish. This is what they are called.
Their realms might have fallen due to the First Tribulation of True Emperor, but although their realms are not high, in terms of strength, they far surpass quasi-emperors.
Liu Daojun saw immediately that Chu Fengmian’s power was far from ordinary Heavenly Realm, untouchable by any quasi-emperor simply due to the force of that one claw.
Aside from Half-step Emperor Sovereigns, there’s no other explanation for Chu Fengmian’s power.
But Chu Fengmian inwardly scoffed at such a title.
Half-step Emperor Sovereigns, just a bunch of failures, not even able to withstand the True Emperor’s Heavenly Tribulation, a bunch of useless ones, Chu Fengmian placed no value on such people.
However, Chu Fengmian had no interest in explaining; let others speculate as they will. Although, indeed, Chu Fengmian had once endured the True Emperor’s Heavenly Tribulation, enough to be called a Half-step Emperor Sovereign.
When Chu Fengmian’s power is sufficient, he won’t even need to pass the True Emperor’s Heavenly Tribulation to instantly step into the Emperor Sovereign Realm.
"Two quasi-emperor ants are enough to quell my anger?"
Chu Fengmian’s lips curled into a faintly amused smile after hearing Liu Daojun’s words.
"Not enough."
"Then what compensation do you want? Wealth? Our Ancient Snake Chamber of Commerce is willing to offer you a vast amount of wealth, how about it?"
Liu Daojun stared at Chu Fengmian, frowning slightly.
Were it only three quasi-emperors, they would hardly be worth Liu Daojun’s attention considering his strength, killing quasi-emperors like slaughtering chickens or dogs.
Even though he’s only a First Tribulation True Emperor, in front of quasi-emperors, he remains an extremely formidable character.
But a Half-step Emperor Sovereign is different. They have gone through the True Emperor’s Heavenly Tribulation; their powers are already transitioning towards becoming True Emperor.
Though they can’t stand on equal footing with True Emperors, they still have some means to contend with them.
A battle involving an Emperor Sovereign, once engaged, would be earth-shattering, and if wounded, the recovery cost would be exorbitantly high.
Even Heavenly-grade Spiritual Medicine bears no significance for Emperors; only Saint Medicine can heal wounds.
Unless absolutely necessary, Liu Daojun wouldn’t wish to make a move.
Unfortunately, this was merely Liu Daojun’s own thought.
A First Tribulation True Emperor isn’t something Chu Fengmian considered, even if Chu Fengmian didn’t have the support of the World’s Heaven and Earth Laws in the Blood World.
Dealing with a First Tribulation True Emperor is an easy matter for Chu Fengmian, not to mention Chu Fengmian has always wanted to personally subdue a True Emperor.
"No need for compensation, I’ve said it, today the Ancient Snake Chamber of Commerce will be completely erased from the Demon Bone Continent!"
Chu Fengmian spoke calmly, as if stating an obvious fact.
Hearing these words, Liu Daojun’s eyes harbored nothing but a murderous intent.
"So, you truly intend to completely sever ties with our Ancient Snake Chamber of Commerce?"
The blade in Liu Daojun’s hand suddenly unsheathed.
"Even if you’re a Half-step Emperor Sovereign, you still aren’t a True Emperor. I could kill you with ease now!"
