Asura Sovereign VII

by Shian Jeen

  This middle-aged man was none apart from Silver Dragon Ao Gu’s eldest disciple, Han Qing. The four old men behind Han Qing were Snow Dragon City’s four enforcers.

  Strolling into the Eminent Holiness secret space, Han Qing’s eyes scanned around, nodding in appreciation as he praised, “Really a good piece of paradise. Looks like this magic formula space is a remnant from the historic times, excellent, excellent.”

  “Since it’s a space that dates back to the ancient times, then the good things inside here should be aplenty.”

  Han Qing was filled with excitement inside after confirming the space’s value. Only then did he look over at Huwang Peng’s group of people.

  “Looks like it has been quite a while since you lot have uncovered this ancient secret space, remove all the treasures you’ve found.” Han Qing drawled, an obvious threat in his firmness. He wasn’t worried at all that the bunch of people would escape.

  With his keen eyes, he easily determined that the strongest one in this bunch was the four-meter giant concealed under that big black cloak, the second strongest would be the man he previously wounded just now.

  The rest were early and mid Xiantian realm that weren’t worth mentioning. He could exterminate them with a simple wave of his hand.

  Huwang Peng took a step forward, saying, “This Brother, this one is Huwang Peng.”

  But, Huwang Peng’s sentence’s hardly ended when Han Qing suddenly struck Huwang Peng with a hand, sending Huwang Peng soaring to the back. Huwang Peng crashed into one of the straw huts, bloodstream spurting out from his mouth.

  “Father!”

  “Patriarch!”

  Frightened exclamations sounded as faces paled.

  Han Qing issued a cold snort, “What do I care if you’re Huwang Peng or not, I asked you about treasures, and I’m asking for the last time. Take out all the treasures you found here, if not, I won’t be polite! At that time, with every countdown I make, I will kill one person!”

  Huwang Peng was helped to a stand, feeling as if every organ in his body was shattered.

  “En, not dead?” Han Qing was somewhat surprised since Huwang Peng was still alive after taking a hit from his hand. A Xiantian warrior that was struck with the aftershock of his palm strike couldn’t keep his life, yet this guy who wasn’t a good Xiantian realm was still breathing after taking a direct palm hit from him!

  Despite the minuscule amount of strength he used in that hand strike, the fact that the person didn’t die was enough to surprise Han Qing.

  “Good, good!” Han Qing looked at Huwang Peng with brilliant light shining in his eye, “Still alive! It seems you must have eaten a great deal of good treasures, or perhaps some divine grade nature pellets which toughened your entire body to this extent!”

  Treasures!

  Divine grade spirit pellet!

  Han Qing’s gaze was fixed on Huwang Peng at this moment, “Speak, and take out all the treasures you’ve got from here!” He ordered as he strolled toward Huwang Peng.

  From these people’s earlier reactions, it seemed like this Huwang Peng was this group’s pillar.

  “Feng Yang! Attack!” Suddenly, Huwang Peng shouted a command!

  Within the next moment, Han Qing saw the four-meter tall giant hidden underneath a large black cloak moving to attack him. Unknowingly, the giant was gripping a three-pronged spear.

  Han Qing was stunned for a split second, but his reaction was quick. A long sword made an appearance in his hands, slashing out and colliding with the big three-pronged spear. His hand numbed from the impact and was forced staggering back.

  “Saint realm ghost creature!”

  The five in Han Qing’s group blurted out in shock, feeling the vibrant ghost aura bursting from the giant.

  A resounding roar came from Feng Yang as he dashed at Han Qing with a second attack.

  “So, it’s a Saint realm ghost.” Han Qing snorted. In his eyes, the huge was powerful, but it wasn’t that strong, merely a First Order Saint world.

  “Go, exterminate this ghost thing!” Han Qing thought to one of the old man behind him.

  “Yes, Eldest Young Grasp!” The old man acknowledged. The old man lightly prolonged a palm out, dispersing Feng Yang’s attack without much work, then he punched out across space, accurately hitting Feng Yang and sending him somersaulting back in the air.

  This old man was a Third Order Saint realm expert.

  The giant ghost Feng Yang evolved to a sturdy physique from an intangible ghost creature when it broke through to Saint realm, rivaling another Order Saint realm warrior, but it was still weak against another Order Sain realm expert.

  Feng Yang crashed, but climbed back up. His eyes flipped a glowing scarlet red, breathing out visible puffs of black air as he lunged toward the old man, but within seconds, he was once again overpowered by the old man. Its body was sent traveling further away than before.

  This time around, the old man used his full force. His palm strike crushed Feng Yang’s ribs, causing him to fall down and be unable to stand backup again for a long time.

  Han Qing chuckled sinisterly, striding toward Huwang Peng and the others.

  “Spit it out, where will be the treasures? Take everything out! I’m a person with limited patience, if you lot still do not give me what I want, I will start slaughtering!” Han Qing sneered.

  “Stop there!” Guo Xiaofan all of a sudden jumped out, a finger directed at Han Qing, “My Big Uncle is Young Noble Divine Dragon Huwang Xiao, all you bag eggs, if you dare to harm a hair on us, my Big Uncle will not spare any of you!”

  “Young Noble Divine Dragon Huwang Xiao!” Han Qing and the four old men were astounded.

  But recovering from his shock, Han Qing exploded in laughter as though he had just heard the funniest joke in the world, “Little man, you’ve got guts, you even dare to lie to my face! ” He pointed at Huwang Peng, “Why don’t you say he’s Huwang Xiao’s old man?!” His voice was filled with apparent disdain and contempt.

  It had been clear that he didn’t believe a single word of Guo Xiaofan’s.

  “You’ve said it right, he is our Sovereign’s father!” Yu Ming’s chilly voice sounded, “I am the Asura’s Gate’s Elder, Yu Ming. Our Sovereign is in closed-door practice now, once he comes out, you’re all dead!”

  “Closed-door practice?” Han Qing continued to laugh in an unbridled manner, “Why don’t you say that Young Noble Divine Dragon is going for a nap!”

  The five people cracked-up nastily.

  Han Qing made another sudden attack, striking one of the Huwang Family guards. When the guard fell to the bottom, only a lifeless body continued to be.

  “Huwang Hua!” Huwang Peng cried out in dismal.

  Although Huwang Hua was a guard, he was also Huwang Peng’s childhood companion. After several decades passed, they became close like real brothers.

  “Speak, where are the treasures? Still so stubborn, the next one I'll kill is him!” Han Qing directed a finger at Guo Tai.

  Individuals were ashen.

  “You’re not allowed to hurt my father!” Guo Xiaofan little body blocked in front of Guo Tai.

  Guo Tai was so terrified of his son’s actions that he carried the little guy behind him into Huwang Min’s arms as he moved himself to the front, protecting both mother and son.

  “What a wonderful display of dad and son affection!” Han Qing sneered. He glanced at Huwang Peng, “Still not talking? Since it is so, then I shall…! ” He lifted a hand up.

  “Wait!” Huwang Peng shouted.

  Han Qing’s action stopped.

  “I really is, Young Noble Divine Dragon Huwang Xiao’s father!” Huwang Peng emphasized.

  Han Qing’s face became ashen with anger hearing Huwang Peng’s words. Without another word, his hand struck out at Guo Tai: “DIE!” He was truly angered, he wished to slaughter every one of these fools.

  He didn’t believe that he wouldn’t have the ability to find the treasures once he killed off everyone
here.

  Right as Han Qing’s palm energy was about to strike Guo Tai’s torso, a sudden light flashed in the air. A physique appeared in out of nowhere, and with a casual influx of his hands, Han Qing’s attack dispersed without any trace or sound.

  “Xiao!”

  “Sovereign!” Huwang Peng, Yu Ming, and the other cried out in joy seeing that familiar silhouette.

  Ch.447

  The person who appeared was, of course, Huwang Xiao.

  Huwang Xiao should have exited his closed-door practiced a few days earlier, however, the dark dragon’s true substance was more copious than he expected in comparison to both the open fire and water dragons, which was why he was slightly late.

  Huwang Xiao appeared around and saw the Huwang Family’s safeguard, Huwang Hua, lying in a pool of blood, his expression instantly darkened.

  “Big Uncle, you finally came out!” Guo Xiaofan ran to Huwang Xiao’s part, issuing an instant complaint: “These bad eggs, they want to destroy us!”

  Huwang Xiao’s gaze was frosty, dropping on Han Qing and the four old men.

  Han Qing’s band of five viewed Huwang Xiao warily.

  ‘Sovereign? Is this black-haired son really…?’

  “How do I refer to this warrior? This one is Snow Dragon City’s Han Qing, the eldest disciple under Silver Dragon Ao Gu.” Han Qing said. Although his introduction was polite, the proudness in his tone of voice when highlighting his identity was hard to cover.

  Huwang Xiao replied emotionlessly, “Even if Metallic Dragon Ao Gu comes here personally today, he still won’t be able to save some of you!”

  Han Qing and the four old men’s face became gloomy.

  “Punk, you really think you’re Huwang Xiao!” Han Qing’s anger rose, a finger pointed at Huwang Xiao’s nose, “What qualifies you to speak my Master’s great name?” Not wasting time, Han Qing summoned his martial heart.

  Han Qing’s martial nature was an enormous wolf of silver-colored fur with 3 black stripes running down its forehead, the wolf tribe’s Ruler, the Sterling silver Wolf King. Han Qing immediately soul transformed the instant his martial spirit emerged, both hands shaped into claws, striking at Huwang Xiao at rapid speed.

  Just like Han Qing’s claws were a narrow distance from slashing him, Huwang Xiao countered with the Asura Demon Claw. Ghost aura surged out in a brutal manner as countless wailing demonic spirits flew out, shaking one’s spirit. Han Qing didn’t even have the time to react and was already struck by the Asura Demon Claw, flying out like a pebble.

  Despite Han Qing’s strength, he was only a Second Order Saint realm. Against Huwang Xiao, how was he to resist?

  Forget not the killing intent already rising in Huwang Xiao’s center. In that assault at the moment, he didn’t hold back.

  When Han Qing fell to the ground, everyone could see that his chest was blasted open, bones, flesh, and organs shattered, covered in bloodstream.

  The four Snow Dragon City enforcers inhaled sharply taking a look at the grave wound on Han Qing’s chest, their expressions ugly.

  As another Order Saint realm, Han Qing’s physique was much like a Third Order Saint world, sturdier than most. Yet, one strike from Huwang Xiao converted Han Qing’s upper body into this!

  Not even a Seventh Order Saint realm expert was capable of doing this kind of damage!

  “Now, it’s your turn!” Huwang Xiao’s cool gaze changed toward the four old men.

  That declaration instantly shook the four Snow Dragon City enforcers back to the present.

  Without a shred of hesitation, all four of these leaped up, dashing toward the exit, wanting to flee. The strength Huwang Xiao had shown vanquished any thoughts of resistance in them.

  However, after barely taking flight, the four old men found the world being filled up with golden Buddha statues, shining golden palm imprints falling down on them. Terrified, the four of these were forced back again to the initial spots.

  Huwang Xiao’s number disappeared in a flicker, but a palm imprint shot out, smashing on their bodies at the same time and sent them plunging away.

  In a moment, the Eminent Holiness space returned to its tranquil atmosphere.

  “Big Uncle is so amazing! Big Uncle is so powerful!” Guo Xiaofan cheered, clapping his hands.

  His activities brought a smile to everyone’s encounters.

  Huwang Xiao too couldn’t resist a smile on his face watching the tiny guy’s antics. He gathered all five corpses and placed them in to the Linglong Treasure Pagoda, as food for the Poison Corpse Scarabs.

  As for their souls, naturally they were given to the Supreme Ghost Flag.

  “This place is no more safe. Yu Ming and everyone, go pack up, we’ll leave in a short while.” Huwang Xiao purchased.

  Since the place was found by people from Snow Dragon City, Huwang Xiao wouldn't place his parents and family here, he previously to look for another place.

  “Yes, Sovereign!” Yu Ming, Fei Hou, Haotian, as well as others complied.

  “Big Uncle, then where are we heading next?” Guo Xiaofan asked.

  Huwang Xiao sounded grim, “To the Asura’s Gate headquarters.” Regardless of the places that Huwang Xiao could think of, the Asura’s Gate headquarters was the safest bet.

  “Go to the Asura’s Gate headquarters?!” Huwang Peng and Su Yan were the most surprised.

  The Asura’s Gate headquarters was located on Starcloud Continent, did that mean these were going to the Starcloud Continent?

  “Great, great, let’s go directly to the Asura’s Gate headquarters!” Guo Xiaofan decided with thunderous handclaps, “Big Uncle, everyone says you’re the Asura’s Gate Sovereign, do you have a lot, a lot of subordinates?” Guo Xiaofan’s stretched his arms wide open to emphasize the meaning of his ‘a great deal, a lot.’

  Huwang Xiao smiled, “That’s right, Big Uncle has a lot, a lot of subordinates. If Xiaofan works hard and become strong when you grow up, then you will also have a great deal, a lot of subordinates!”

  The tiny guy was ecstatic hearing this.

  No one had any misgivings about Huwang Xiao’s plan to bring them to the Asura’s Gate headquarters.

  Huwang Xiao had planned to mind straight to the 10 Directions Continent after his closed-door practice ended, but looking at the current circumstances, he could only make a vacation back to the headquarters before heading out again to the Ten Directions Continent by himself.

  After all, his parents and everyone’s safety was far more important than Dragon God Grass.

  A decision reached, Huwang Xiao escorted his parents and family through the Bedlam Lands and Demonic Beasts Forest, finally reaching the Starcloud Continent. The group didn't dally, heading right to the Asura’s Gate headquarters in the Central Oblast.

  Though there were some small problems along the way, with Huwang Xiao there, those problems were easily settled by him.

  Huwang Xiao’s cultivation had reached the peak of late-Sixth Order Saint realm after refining the primordial divine black dragon, only a paper thin barrier stood between him and his breakthrough to the Seventh Order.

  Relying on his current strength, battling one, a peak late-Seventh Order Saint realm was no longer Huwang Xiao’s opponent.

  Two months later, the group finally reached the Asura’s Gate headquarters.

  Arriving at the Asura’s Gate, Huwang Xiao dutifully made the necessary arrangements for their living, accompanied them for a full day tour around the headquarters floor, and guided Guo Xiaofan’s practice. Inside a blink, three days had passed before Huwang Xiao departed for the Ten Directions Continent.

  Relatively speaking, Starcloud Continent was closer to the Ten Directions Continent in distance. However, that was in a relative manner.

  As usual, Huwang Xiao traveled during the day and cultivated during the night. By enough time he arrived, it was 8 weeks later.

  In the Martial Spirit World, Starcloud Continent had more land area compared to Snow Wind Continent, but Ten Directions
Continent was much bigger than Starcloud Continent.

  Snow Blowing wind Continent and Starcloud Continent were mostly occupied by humans, whereas on 10 Directions Continent, there have been the demonic beasts and beastmen!

  Other than the demonic beasts and beastmen, there were dwarves, elves, tree people tribe, sea tribes, and more than a dozen other races. Though there have been also humans living on the Ten Directions Continent, their figures were a paltry few.

  “Up in front should be the Elf Forest.” Huwang Xiao muttered, taking a look at the map and the seemingly endless green forest.

  This Ten Directions Continent map was something he requested Zhao Shu to prepare before his trip. The map was very detailed, each region and tribes on the Ten Directions Continent were clearly marked.

  According to the map, the Poison Dragon Valley fell under the beastmen’s territory.

  Huwang Xiao once found a Beast God Scepter in the Eminent Holiness key space, and on this visit to the Ten Directions Continent, he intended to have a look at the Beast God Shrine. The Poison Dragon Valley being in the beastmen’s sphere of influence made things more convenient for him.

  However, before that, to reach the beastmen’s place, Huwang Xiao needed to pass through the Elves Forest, the Dwarf Mountain, and the Stellar Thunder Ravine.

  Within a flicker, Huwang Xiao entered the Elf Forest.

  Ch.448

  Very quickly, Huwang Xiao entered the boundary of the Elf Forest. He shuttled through the forest cautiously despite having self-confidence in his power, for the elf race was extremely hostile toward humans, beastmen, and even the demonic beasts. There were rumors that said that any human race that stepped into the Elf Forest would be besieged by the elves.

  Dense canopies covered the Elf Forest, roots as thick as a human thigh coiled and weaved, linking to even thicker tree trunks. However, the trees here weren’t tall, averaging ten meters in height.

  Sparse sunlight sneaked in through the gaps between the dense canopy, leaving mottled light patterns on the forest floor.
