“Oh, my bad! That wasn’t directed toward you.” The red-haired man said as favonovel.com looked at him.
“You’re just a maggot… A maggot that I won’t even bother stepping on!”
The man stared back in disdain, thinking that favonovel.com was just another show off with mediocre abilities. However, favonovel.com quickly realized that favonovel.com was being played around like a circus monkey.
“Son of a b*tch! You’re trying to die? Thousand Spirits Claws!” The man with the top hat roared, raging bloodshot through their eyes as his hands sprang out of his sleeves. They were pitch black-like branches of a dead tree, claws of the phantom. He sprang toward the red-haired man as if clawing his guts out.
The red-haired man hummed as favonovel.com swung his arms up like favonovel.com chased a fly away. His god-like speed was not caught on by anyone on the scene. What happened next was a loud thud, followed by the head of the man, along with his top head exploding in front of everyone.
Thick, red lava gushed onto the ground, spurted into the flames, exuding a burnt, rotten fume.
“Ha, maggot!” The red-haired man chuckled coldly, pointing his finger at the decapitated body. It slumped onto the ground with a thud and a river of crimson flowed out of the gaping neck where the head once was.
The air inside the cave shifted, frozen in an instant. The group of dark cu ltivators who, moments ago, were filled with rage toward the red-haired man, became completely paralyzed with fear. Some even became wobbly as dread took over their body.
The man with the top hat’s power was ranked third below Ozul and Lilian. His brain was blown up within seconds without even putting up a fight. Ozul and Lilian exchanged gazes as they were both shaken to their cores. They struggled to fathom how powerful and capable the red-haired man was.
“Alright then,” the red-haired man turned around, facing Ozul and Lilian with a smile on his face, “Can we talk now?”
The red-haired man asked whilst casually flicking specks of red goo off his fingertips, filling the air with menace.
Ozul chuckled bitterly, “Fine, what exactly do you want?”
“I want an answer from the both of you. Is this really what you’re settling for?” The red-haired man looked them in the eyes.
Ozul and Lilian’s heads hung low, bitterness seeped through their bodies.
Back in South Earlington, it was true that they were the top ten in the wanted list, but they still had decent lives, seeing as no one tried to seek trouble from them. However, ever since they attempted to play up to that person, they thought they would be leveled in the Heavenly Spirit Realm, or at the very least, the Holy Land Realm. They did not expect to be defeated in an instant. Never mind the half of the people who were dead and injured, they almost did not survive themselves.
That time, they were determined to return to the Earlington of Efrax and seek vengeance, but they were once again faced with another obstacle before they could even cross the border. An average person would not be able to handle the series of blows they had to bear.
After a long, heavy pause, Ozul and Lilian nodded in agreement.
Of course, they did not want to settle for it. Especially when they thought back on the trap they set up in the Hopeful Woman Mountain, how it was broken by the mere disciples of the Heavenly Stars Sect.
Rage and humiliation engulfed them.
“That’s right, you should never settle.” The red-haired man found their responses to be satisfactory.
He nodded, “If that’s the case, you should both come with me from now on.”
“What?” Ozul picked his head up in an instant, “But…”
“But what? Do you want to die? Do you think a bunch of trash like yourselves would succeed in anything with your sh*tty plans?” The red-haired man spat as his face darkened.
“Let me tell you the truth, the outer disciples of the six major sects are joining the nation‘s official religion election! Outer disciple, do you understand? It’s their outer disciple, Pulse Control Realm in double! You bunch of people are repulsive and incompetent, if you blindly follow their orders, you’d just become a bunch of sacrifices, you probably wouldn’t even know how you were killed.”
The red-haired man yelled whilst pointing his fingers at each of the dark cultivators. None of them dared to talk back.
If it were anyone else who talked to them the way the man did, they would have murdered their whole family. However, standing before them was a man of a whole other level, a man that was unfathomable to them. They had no choice but to swallow their pride.
“Listen up, if you follow your original plan, you’ll just end up dead. You’ll either die in the hands of the six major sect disciples or you’ll die by my hands.” The red-haired man did not bother hiding his lunacy.
“Of course, there’s another way, follow me. I’ll lead you into a bright future. Especially the both of you.” He pointed at Ozul and Lilian.
“Don’t you want revenge? I’ll give you a chance now, do you want to follow me or would you rather die now?” Without hesitation, the dark cultivators were all in sync and chose the former.
“Great, come with me now!”
“Don’t worry, you were meant to die anyway, no one would care even if you didn’t arrive at the destination as planned. There will always be new sacrifices, no one would care about you guys, right? Why not join me in the game, together, we’ll scare the living sh*t out of the six major sects and the whole of Earlington of Efrax. Haha!” The red-haired man laughed hysterically.
Ozul and Lilian were taken aback by the red-haired man’s madness. However, there was no turning back for them now. He completely seized them in their throats.
“S-sure…” Ozul nodded.
“Great, come with me now.” The red-haired man swung his arm up in the air.
“Before this, every one of us has to disappear for a month. And when the time comes, we will seize the whole of Earlington Efrax! Hahaha!” His hysterical laughter blared through the cave and echoed through the mountains, harmonizing with the whooshing of the wind, forming a harsh, ear-piercing choir.
***
After a full night’s rest, Caspian and Maya hit the road at the break of dawn. At around noon, they arrived at a village situated before the hills and mountains.
The village appeared to be bustling with noise, with people cheek by jowl with each other. There were even formations around, it seemed that the village was packed with cultivators.
“The floating market.” Caspian and Maya chimed in sync as they exchanged a pleasant gaze.
They were just in time for the floating market.
