Asura Sovereign X

by Shian Jeen

  After spending the ten million top heaven grade spirit stones, Huwang Xiao led everyone out of the shop.

  Long after Huwang Xiao’s group had left, the supervisor gradually straightened his back with a beaming face. In his mind, he could already imagine how the upper management was going to reward him after knowing the large business today.

  Watching Huwang Xiao’s group in the distance, he firmly believed he had made the right choice today. As for that Zhou Wenting, whether she would bear a grudge toward him or not, he didn’t mind in the slightest.

  Huwang Xiao’s group went on, shop by shop. Piles after piles of grade one, heaven grade, and even saint grade spirit stones were spent. To the current Huwang Xiao, both spirit stones and Xuanwu coins were mere numbers, just a concept.

  What he needed now was divine grade spirit stones and above. Those grade one, heaven grade, and even saint grade spirit stones were no different than useless garbage.

  When he was still a Sixth Order God Realm, he could already condense heaven grade spirit stones, and now that he was a Seventh Order God Realm, he was able to form saint grade spirit stones. Following this, by the time he broke through to Tenth Order God Realm, Huwang Xiao was confident that he would be able to condense divine grade spirit stones.

  After a full day of shopping, by dusk fall, everyone returned to the Luo Tong Residence. Ever since the Huwang Family moved to the Golden Dragon Peak, the residence had been empty most of the time.

  Returning this time, everyone felt a silent lament.

  Huwang Xiao arranged for food to be sent over from a nearby restaurant to the Luo Tong Residence. Sitting in the main hall, the Huwang Family had a joyous meal and did not disperse until the moon hung high in the night sky.

  The night passed without events as the sun gradually rose on the horizon.

  By the time Huwang Xiao appeared in the main hall, Xie Puti was already there in a clean set of brocade robes. The cup on the table was already empty, it was clear that Xie Puti had drunk his fill from nervousness.

  Watching this side of Xie Puti, Huwang Xiao felt like laughing. This kid had never been afraid of anything, yet he was so nervous now.

  Noticing Huwang Xiao walking in, Xie Puti literally jumped up from his seat.

  “Are you alright?” Huwang Xiao asked.

  Xie Puti smiled awkwardly, “I’m alright.”

  “Let’s go then.” Huwang Xiao said. Both men left the Luo Tong Residence, but before leaving, Huwang Xiao informed his parents as well as the Ascending Moon Old Man.

  From the Luo Tong Residence, they headed straight to the agreed meeting place.

  “In this Manqin Restaurant?” Roughly an hour later, Huwang Xiao asked as both of them stood at the entrance of a big restaurant.

  Xie Puti nodded, confirming the location. This was the place he and the other party first met.

  Without further delay, they stepped inside, heading up to the first floor where a private room had been reserved. After knocking on the door, a clear voice sounded from inside the room: “Please come in.”

  The door opened and both men stepped inside.

  However, when Huwang Xiao and Xie Puti saw the two women sitting inside the room, both were surprised and shocked, for one of them was the woman they had a conflict with yesterday—Zhuo Wenting.

  When Zhuo Wenting saw Huwang Xiao and Xie Puti, her delicate face turned sullen in an instant. The murderous gaze in her eyes was cold enough to lower the room’s temperature by several degrees.

  The beautiful young woman beside her noticed Zhou Wenting’s strange reaction, asking curiously, “Sister, are you alright?”

  Xie Puti felt like his brain exploded on the spot; sister?! This Zhuo Wenting was actually her sister!

  Ch.656

  Huwang Xiao’s eyebrows slightly raised when he heard the younger woman call Zhuo Wenting ‘sister’. Judging from Xie Puti’s reaction, it was clear that the pretty young woman was the one he liked, but who would have thought that the woman they met at the shop yesterday would be her elder sister!

  Moreover, from the way she spoke, it seems like they were biological sisters!

  Zhou Wenting did not answer her younger sister, Zhou Wenshan, her eyes turned red as she glared venomously at Huwang Xiao, “Little punk, I didn’t expect my sister’s eyes to be so blind to actually like someone like you!” In the end, her grim face turned manic with joy, “But, the reason we asked to meet you here is to tell you that our Zhuo Family has already arranged for my sister to be betrothed to the Li Family’s Young Master, Li Zishuai! From today onwards, don’t ever try to contact my sister!”

  “Now, you can bury your feelings!”

  As if she had found an outlet to exact revenge for yesterday’s humiliation, Zhou Wenting laughed madly with elation and satisfaction, a little exaggerated, causing her breasts to jiggle around. She was convinced that the person her sister liked was Huwang Xiao.

  Huwang Xiao’s brows creased into furrows, turning his head to the side looking at Xie Puti.

  Xie Puti paled visibly at Zhuo Wenting’s words. He took a deep breath as he fixed his eyes on Zhuo Wenshan, “Wenshan, is what she said true?”

  Zhuo Wenshan, on the other hand, was much calmer than Xie Puti, “It’s true. My father agreed for me to marry the Li Family’s Young Master, Li Zishuai. The wedding is in ten days!”

  Xie Puti’s face went white, drained of blood; his body wobbled unsteadily as he shook his head in denial, mumbling: “No, n-no, NO! Not possible!” In the end, his reasons frayed, taking a stride forward, grasping Zhuo Wenshan’s arm, “Why?! Why—?!”

  Zhuo Wenshan’s expression turned frosty, flinging Xie Puti’s hand away, “Why? Because he is the Li Family’s Young Master, whereas you’re merely a Xiantian realm cultivator… eh? You broke through to the Saint realm? Regardless, even the lowest of the Li Family’s slaves is a hundred times stronger than you!”

  Xie Puti was persistently stubborn; refusing to believe, unwilling to believe, roaring his dissent: “No, I don’t believe, I don’t believe that you don’t love me!”

  Zhou Wenshan revealed an icy smile, “I did like you in the past, but that was because I was ignorant, deceived by your flowery speech and honeyed words! Xie Puti, I’ll tell you honestly, my Father is Zhuo Qun, a descendant of the Zhuo Family’s main branch. Our Zhuo Family is one of Black Tortoise Galaxy’s first rank prominent families, do you really think that a meager Saint realm like you is qualified to be matched with me?”

  Every single word passing through Zhou Wenshan’s lips was like a knife plunging at Xie Puti’s heart. His breathing grew heavy, feeling difficulty in drawing the next breath.

  At this precise moment, Xie Puti finally realized how naive, foolish, and ludicrous he had been! All these years he had been toiling to improve his cultivation, hoping to break through to God Realm even one day earlier, all of it for her! Yet, that very person was now standing in front of him, saying that she was ignorant in the past and was tricked by his honeyed words!

  Xie Puti’s sorrow pushed him over the edge, going from rage one moment to hysterical laughter the next, “Flowery speech and honeyed words, you say you were deceived by my flowery speech and honeyed words!” Though he was laughing, hot tears were streaming down his face.

  Huwang Xiao stood at the side, unsure if he should say something. In the end, he remained quiet. He knew that what Xie Puti needed now was not comfort, but release, to reduce the pain he was feeling.

  Huwang Xiao’s gaze was filled with loathing and coldness looking at Zhou Wenshan, even though he understood many a time that in various matters one could hardly run away from reality, including love. However, no matter who the other party was, they were not allowed to hurt his brothers!

  Zhuo Wenting was watching Huwang Xiao, mocking with coy giggles, “Little punk, weren’t you very proud yesterday? Hear that, my sister has said everything loud and clear, now you can bring your fri
end and scram out of here! Let me tell you frankly, the private rooms on this Manqin Restaurant’s first floor are not places where any stray cats and dogs can enter. So what if you have loads of money? In this world, strength is most important!”

  “You are right, strength is most important in this world!” Huwang Xiao spoke with a biting chill to his voice.

  Zhou Wenting’s giggle rippled in the room, “I didn’t expect a country bumpkin like you to be smart enough to realize that strength is the most important thing in this world.” Her eyes scrutinized Huwang Xiao up and down, “You’re half-step God Realm? Or peak half-step God Realm? Tell you the truth, even if you’re a God Realm master, before our Zhuo Family, you’re less than a fart! You’ll only fare worse in front of the Li Family!”

  Even after saying this much, Zhuo Wenting still didn’t feel truly vented. She sneered, adding, “Let me tell you, any one of our Zhuo Family’s God Realm disciples could easily smother you to death with a spit!”

  Huwang Xiao’s eyes narrowed dangerously, a sharp glint flickered past in a flash.

  Suddenly, at this time, the door to their room was pushed open, startling everyone. Looking toward the door, a young man wearing a fine brocade robe was seen walking into the room, exuding a worldly air. Two guards followed closely behind him.

  Seeing the young man, Zhuo Wenting and Zhuo Wenshan both looked flustered.

  “So, it’s Young Master Li.” Zhuo Wenting quickly stepped forward, respectful yet flattering in her smile.

  “You came.” Zhuo Wenshan’s voice was low, fingers shyly playing with the edge of her clothes. No doubt, this was the Young Master Li Zishuai that Zhuo Wenshan was recently betrothed to.

  Li Zishuai smiled faintly, “Today, I made a trip to the Zhuo Family, thinking to invite sister Wenshan to town for a walk, but later I heard from your steward that you have made a reservation here in the Manqin Restaurant to meet with someone. Prompted by my curiosity, I came over to have a look, no other meaning.” The entire time he was talking, he fixed a gentle and loving gaze on Zhou Wenshan.

  Being stared like that by Li Zishuai, Zhou Wenshan’s face blushed red; detecting no blame in his voice, she inwardly breathed a great sigh of relief.

  Xie Puti watched with great pain the interaction between these two people, their gazes and that blush on her face only deepened the wound in his heart.

  Zhuo Wenting made another of her coy giggles, “In fact, it’s nothing but two slaves and swindlers.” Her finger pointed at Xie Puti and Huwang Xiao, “Wenshan was really too innocent in the past, cheated by these two swindlers. Today we came here to demand something back from them.”

  Li Zishuai did not expose the lame excuse, he merely smiled faintly, asking, “Then, have you got your item back?”

  Zhuo Wenting quickly answered, “Yes, yes, we already did. We were just about to shoo them away when Young Master Li coincidentally arrived.”

  Li Zishuai nodded, then said, “These two lowly slaves even dared to cheat Wenshan’s things, since it’s like that, they cannot be let off so easily.” He said to the two guards behind him, “Both of you, go break their arms and legs before throwing them out, take it as a punishment for them!” As he said that, he already reached the table, languidly sitting himself down.

  From the beginning to the end, he didn’t even spare a glance at Huwang Xiao or Xie Puti; with his status as the Young Master of the Li Family, looking at two lowly slaves was equivalent to soiling his eyes.

  However, this was just a small punishment, he would later look for an opportunity to exterminate these two!

  He wasn’t a fool, it was obvious that both Zhuo Wenting and Zhuo Wenshan meeting these two here meant that their relationship wasn’t so simple! There were actually people who dared to have an ambiguous relationship with a woman he fancied?! How could he, Li Zishuai, allow that person to continue living in this world.

  The two Li Family guards respectfully complied and made their way toward Huwang Xiao and Xie Puti.

  When Zhuo Wenshan heard Li Zishuai say that he wanted Xie Puti’s arms and legs broken, her heart was reluctant, but she did not speak out on Xie Puti’s behalf.

  On the other hand, Zhuo Wenting could hardly contain her delight. Wasn’t this the result she wanted the most? She faced Huwang Xiao and Xie Puti with a derisive gloating expression. As far as she knew, these two Li Family guards were both Fourth Order God Realm masters.

  Ch.657

  Just as the two guards stepped in front of Huwang Xiao and Xie Puti, a shadow flickered and the sounds of fractured bones rang out simultaneously with two tragic screams. In the next moment, the two guards were knocked back, rolling all the way until Li Zishuai’s feet.

  Li Zishuai had just sat down, and seeing his two guards at his feet caused Li Zishuai’s mind to temporarily go blank.

  Everything happened too fast, even Zhuo Wenting and Zhuo Wenshan were temporarily left in a daze on the spot.

  ‘This… what just happened?!’ Both women were astounded as they looked at Huwang Xiao and Xie Puti.

  By this time, Li Zishuai already recovered from his shock. Looking at Huwang Xiao, his gaze grew increasingly cold, “It seems I have misjudged you, who would have thought that you’re actually an expert.”

  Being able to handle both of his guards at once meant that he was a Fifth Order God Realm cultivator at the very least. This level of strength was considered an upper-level master on the Cloudsea Mainland, even in the Black Tortoise Galaxy.

  Hearing this, Zhuo Wenting and Zhuo Wenshan looked at Huwang Xiao wide-eyed with shock. Never had they imagined that this young man was actually so powerful!

  Huwang Xiao remained indifferent, “Probably not an expert, but more than sufficient to deal with you.”

  Li Zihuai was taken aback by those words, but soon, he laughed loudly, standing up from his seat, “Punk, although I don’t know which family you belong to, I will amuse myself with you until you’re damaged, crippled, and dead!”

  Damaged, crippled, and dead!

  The killing intent in Li Zishuai’s eyes thickened.

  But, before Li Zishuai could act on his words, a silhouette flickered. Then, in the next moment, Li Zishuai felt his neck tighten. By the time he realized what was going on, Huwang Xiao was already standing in front of him, one hand clutching at his neck.

  “You!” Li Zishuai was furious, and his fist punched toward Huwang Xiao at lightning speed.

  Huwang Xiao sneered, slamming out fist head-on.

  Kacha! Kacha! Sounds of shattered bones were heard, followed by Li Zishuai’s piercing scream.

  Huwang Xiao’s punch had pulverized the bones in Li Zishuai’s hand, and at the same, the frigid Asura Qi seeped into his body, dealing another heavy blow to Li Zishuai.

  “Who, are you…?!” Li Zishuai begin to feel pressure, surprise, and anger.

  “Who am I?” Huwang Xiao grinned, his hand exerted pressure on Li Zishuai’s neck, lifting him off the floor. “Who I am, you will know very soon, but didn’t you just say that you want to toy with us till we’re damaged, crippled, and dead? Based on this level of strength?”

  Li Zishuai fumed with anger. Initially, he had thought that with his Sixth Order God Realm strength, it wouldn't be difficult to teach Huwang Xiao a lesson. But who knew that Huwang Xiao’s strength greatly surpassed his assumptions.

  “Punk, do you know who I am?” Li Zishuai made an effort to open his mouth, hollering loud as he could, “I’m the Li Family’s main descendant disciple, the Li Family’s Patriarch Li Guangming is my Eldest Uncle. If you dare to hurt me, you’re dead for sure! Release me this instant!!”

  “Oh~,” Huwang Xiao mocked, “So, you’re Li Guangming’s nephew, I thought you were Li Guangming’s son.” At the end of his sentence, Huwang Xiao aimed his fist, striking accurately at Li Zishuai’s chest, sending another burst of frigid Asura qi into his body. On the outside, Li Zishuai’s chest caved in from Huwang Xiao’s punch.

  A ringing tragic scream filled the priva
te room.

  “You, you!” Li Zishuai stared at Huwang Xiao in disbelief, even after knowing his identity, this slave still dared to attack him.

  Watching Li Zishuai’s expression, Huwang Xiao snorted; so what if you’re from the Li Family? He even dared to waste Jiang Yu, what more a mere Li Zishuai?

  If others leave me alone, I’ll leave them alone.

  If others bother me, I’ll absolutely make them suffer!

  Whereas Zhuo Wenting and Zhuo Wenshan had gone deathly pale watching this scene, shaking and shivering uncontrollably, not knowing what to do with themselves.

  They too found it hard to believe that Huwang Xiao actually continued injuring Li Zishuai after finding out his identity. Who exactly was this black-haired young man in front of them? Even if he was a disciple of one of the super forces, he would still be punished once he went back!

  Before the terrified eyes of the two women, Huwang Xiao struck a second punch at Li Zishuai’s chest, right on the center of his ribs. Sounds of breaking bones entered their ears again.

  Li Zishuai let out one after another blood-curdling scream.

  “Bastard, I’ll make you pay for this, definitely make you pay!” He screamed in pain, and roared in hatred, “I vow to kill you. KILL YOU!!”

  Huwang Xiao completely ignored these screams and shouts, slowly breaking every bone on Li Zishuai’s body, crushing them into pieces before flinging him to the side like a ragdoll.

  Li Zishuai was a Sixth Order God Realm master. Tempered by his god battle qi, his bone density was comparable to a godly weapon, but against Huwang Xiao’s True Dragon Physique, it was nothing but dregs. No different than tofu dregs.

  Flung to the side by Huwang Xiao, Li Zishuai’s suffering did not end. The frigid Asura qi was wrecking havoc all over inside his body, the excruciating pain made him hover between life and death. Despite that, there was no fear in Li Zishuai’s eyes, in fact, his killing intent toward Huwang Xiao grew more intense. That grim expression on his face looked like he wanted swallow Huwang Xiao alive.
