Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent

Chapter 38: Overbearing and Arrogant

Thousands of fallen Void True Gods were somewhat panicked. They saw Commanding Officer Qian Yuchong being grabbed by a single hand, and could only feel a trembling fear in their hearts.

“How is Divine Lord Luo He so powerful? Even with the mechanical treasure ‘Purple Jade Hound,’ we couldn’t defeat him. Without the Purple Jade Hound, he could probably kill us all with a single breath!” These Void True Gods instinctively retreated to a distance, even burrowing into groups of guests.

Usually, when patrolling Huyang City, they held a rather respected position as Huyang Guards! But now, they only hoped that Luo He wouldn’t turn his anger on them!

Mei Wuqi, who had fallen out, couldn’t believe it: “This is one of the top ten mechanical treasures of the Huyang Guards, the ‘Purple Jade Hound.’ How could it be pierced by a single palm?”

“It’s over, it’s over.”

In disbelief, Mei Wuqi didn’t dare hesitate. Burning his divine power, he desperately fled!

He had never run away so frantically in his life.

“Whoosh.” A gigantic hand instantly swept past, already enveloping Mei Wuqi.

“No—”

A rod-like weapon appeared in Mei Wuqi’s hand, striking with thunderous fury, attempting to fend off the gigantic hand. However, as soon as the gigantic hand touched him, it grabbed him. The rod couldn’t even scratch Luo He’s palm in the slightest.

Luo He stood still, his hands already retracted and reduced to normal size. Qian Yuchong and Mei Wuqi, who were in his palms, had their bodies suppressed and shrunk, looking like two small toys in his hands.

At this moment, Jiang Chengyou, Zhu You, the Dream Flower Pavilion, numerous guests, and even Luo He’s servant, Moyu Qingyan, all looked on in shock. This scene had a tremendous impact on their hearts.

“I originally only planned to kill Mei Wuqi, but now I’ve caught two.” Luo He looked down at the two tiny figures in his hands.

“Luo He, I am the commanding officer of the Huyang Guards! Do you intend to kill a commanding officer of the Huyang Guards in Huyang City?” Qian Yuchong looked up at the imposing Luo He.

“Divine Lord Luo He, I was wrong, I was wrong, it’s all my fault!” The captured Mei Wuqi was terrified and hastily said, “I’m willing to make amends. Whatever you need me to do, I’ll do it. Just spare me.”

Qian Yuchong and Mei Wuqi were both very uneasy at this moment.

…

At this moment, the five great families of the City Lord’s Mansion were equally anxious. They monitored the entire city, and since Luo He hadn’t used a small universe field to block the investigation, they saw the whole process clearly.

They saw Luo He piercing through the mechanical treasure ‘Purple Jade Hound’ with one hand.

“Well done, Luo He!”

“He can crush Zi Yu Hou head-on.”

“What should we do now? He has already captured Qian Yuchong and Mei Wuqi.” The senior members of the Five Great Families were also aware of the urgency.

“Commander Magili, please take action.”

“At this time, only Commander Magili can stop Luo He.”

High-ranking officials in the City Lord’s Mansion immediately sent a message to Magili Xiao.

“I’m not suitable to take action,” Magili Xiao refused in one sentence.

Magili Xiao held a high status, one of the top figures in the entire City Lord’s Mansion. Even the City Lord could not force him to act.

The officials of the City Lord’s Mansion had no choice but to deploy one of the Huyang Legions, the ‘Black Underworld Legion,’ to take action.

“I can act, but I’m not confident in stopping Luo He,” replied General Qiu Yi of the Black Underworld Legion.

“Hurry, hurry, hurry, set out immediately,” urged the City Lord’s Mansion.

…

At the Dream Flower Pavilion, many onlookers watched from a distance, not daring to get involved, fearing the wrath of the Five Great Families.

In Huyang City, the Five Great Families were like the heavens!

Luo Feng’s actions at this moment had indeed provoked them.

Luo Feng looked down at the two small figures he held in his hands, “Qian Yuchong, I found that in Mei Wuqi’s evidence alone, your name appears many times. You helped him capture True Gods, clean up traces, and did many things for him.”

Qian Yuchong was shocked.

As an Eternal True God attached to the Meiwu Family, he had indeed done a lot of dirty work for them! He had helped Mei Wuqi capture many True Gods because Mei Wuqi’s methods were not clean, often leaving traces.

“Mei Wuqi, oh Mei Wuqi, if you want to kill a large number of True Gods, do it secretly. Why did you have to take so many friends to visit Sin City, making it known to everyone in Huyang City! Now you’ve provoked this Divine Lord Luo He, bringing disaster upon me,” Qian Yuchong thought bitterly.

“As an accomplice of Mei Wuqi, according to Yuguo’s laws, you must be executed,” Luo Feng said.

“Divine Lord Luo He, I know you are a person who abhors evil. I am just a subordinate, only a subordinate of the Meiwu Family,” Qian Yuchong said urgently. “I also climbed up step by step from a wild tribe. Please spare my life. I will never be an accomplice again. It was Mei Wuqi who made me capture those True Gods.”

“Qian Yuchong, I dared not openly capture so many True Gods. It was you who helped me think of ways, it was you who helped me. Now you push all these crimes onto me,” Mei Wuqi shouted, “Divine Lord Luo He, I…”

Luo Feng grasped Mei Wuqi’s palm, his divine power seeping in, rendering Mei Wuqi speechless.

“Qian Yuchong, I’m telling you this so you can die understandingly,” Luo Feng said. He slightly exerted force on Qian Yuchong’s hand, and the force penetrated Qian Yuchong’s body, destroying his True God’s heart.

Qian Yuchong’s eyes widened, feeling only injustice at this moment.

Qian Yuchong had painstakingly climbed to one of the top ten commanders of Huyang Guard, but who would have thought he would encounter such an unscrupulous, utterly disregarding the Five Great Families’ face, and terrifyingly powerful ‘Divine Lord Luo He,’ getting implicated and dying here!

“Whoosh.” Luo Feng instantly collected Qian Yuchong’s body into the Star Tower.

The body had to be collected properly, not wasted.

In the distance, Morosa grinned upon seeing this scene, sending a mental message, “Thank you, Master. Please also save Mei Wuqi’s body for me. His bloodline must be extraordinary and will be very beneficial to absorb.”

Master and servant were both very calm.

But the onlookers around, including Mei Wuqi in Luo Feng’s other palm, couldn’t stay calm!

“He really killed him!”

“The commander of Huyang Guard was killed just like that?”

Zhu You, Jiang Chengyou, the Pavilion Master of the Dream Flower Pavilion, Moyu Qingyan, and a large number of guests all held their breath, while the thousands of Void True God-level Huyang Guards in the distance also trembled.

“This Divine Lord Luo He is unusually domineering.”

“Divine Lord Luo He, indifferent to life and death, takes action as soon as he says so!”

“We’ve heard of some fierce people who even dare to kill royal families and great chaotic clans. Today, we’ve seen it firsthand.”

The guests who could come to the Dream Flower Pavilion generally had some background and came from various forces within the city. At this moment, they watched the development closely and quickly sent the information back.

The onlookers had various thoughts, but Mei Wuqi, held in Luo Feng’s palm, was genuinely panicking!

Seeing his accomplice ‘Qian Yuchong’ die before his eyes, Mei Wuqi already sensed the approach of death. He was extremely anxious, “Divine Lord Luo He, as long as you spare me, anything can be discussed. I will do anything.”

“Boom—” Accompanied by a terrifying wave.

Luo Feng looked up and saw a massive spherical fortress appearing in the night sky. The spherical fortress was like a black hole, absorbing energy and light, with a formidable aura.

“One of the top ten legions of Huyang, the Black Underworld Legion,” Luo Feng recognized the newcomer.

The Huyang Legion was much stronger than the Huyang Guard.

For instance, the Huyang Guard’s ‘Zi Yu Hou’ was only equivalent to the President of the Blood Python Society, while the Huyang Legion was much stronger. Any Huyang Legion could suppress the President of the Blood Python Society in a frontal confrontation.

Suppression was easy, but killing was harder.

It was only because they encountered Luo Feng that the President of the Blood Python Society couldn’t escape.

“Divine Lord Luo He, please stop,” a three-eyed face appeared on the surface of the spherical fortress, “Mei Wuqi is an Eternal True God of the Meiwu Family. Even if he violated the law, the City Lord’s Mansion must punish him. You cannot take action.”

“Can the City Lord’s Mansion sentence him to death?” Luo Feng asked.

The three-eyed face on the surface of the spherical fortress spoke, “Divine Lord Luo He, you have made too much of a commotion. The City Lord’s Mansion cannot be overly biased. Even if Mei Wuqi does not die, he will still be severely punished.”

“Severe punishment is not enough. He must die.” Luo Feng grinned and looked at Mei Wuqi in his palm.

“Spare me, spare me,” Mei Wuqi pleaded urgently.

“Divine Lord Luo He, you have already killed a Huyang Guard commander in the city without the City Lord’s Mansion’s judgment. If you publicly kill an Eternal True God of the Five Great Families, you are trampling on the faces of the Five Great Families! You must consider the consequences,” said the three-eyed face on the surface of the spherical fortress.

“What consequences?” Luo Feng said leisurely, “General Qiu Yi of the Black Underworld Legion, Mei Wuqi must die today. If you try to stop me, you should consider the consequences.”

The three-eyed face on the surface of the spherical fortress glanced at the collapsed Zi Yu Hou in the distance and understood the consequences of intervening.

Qian Yuchong had tried to stop him.

Qian Yuchong had died!

“This Luo He is too fierce. His strength is probably not inferior to Blood Cloud,” General Qiu Yi muttered. He had dealt with the leader of the Shiguo forces, Blood Cloud.

The City Lord’s Mansion had tried everything, with Magili Xiao personally taking action and even deploying the great formation of Huyang City to assist. They had clashed with Blood Cloud multiple times but could not do anything to him.

And now…

General Qiu Yi felt that this Luo He was probably not inferior to Blood Cloud.

Even if multiple legions acted together under Magili Xiao’s command, they might not be able to retain Luo He!

General Qiu Yi thought to himself, “Mei Wuqi is too mad. He committed heinous crimes and even feared the world wouldn’t know, dragging too many Eternal True Gods to witness his deeds. That’s why today’s disaster happened.”

“General Qiu Yi, save me, save me,” Mei Wuqi shouted from Luo Feng’s palm.

“He is watching you, the City Lord’s Mansion is also watching you,” Luo Feng looked at Mei Wuqi in his palm, “But no one can save you. Anyone who dares to save you, I will kill them. Anyone who dares to save you deserves to die.”

Luo Feng spoke word by word.

All the onlookers listened, and the high-ranking officials monitoring from the City Lord’s Mansion also heard. Some were angry, some were gloomy, and some shook their heads and sighed.

But no one acted to stop him.

“Die.” Luo Feng looked at Mei Wuqi in his palm, and an invisible illusion instantly engulfed Mei Wuqi’s terrified consciousness.

This illusion was the forbidden technique ‘Nine Specter Kill,’ which Luo Feng had mastered from the “Nine Specter Realm.” With Luo Feng’s mental will at the peak of Chaos Overlord level constructing a vast illusion, and using such a vicious forbidden technique, its power was unimaginable.

Mei Wuqi had risen to his position through resources, so his mental will was naturally weak, and he instantly fell into it.

“Didn’t you like torturing countless beings? Now you can taste it yourself. When you become the tortured, do you still like it?” With a single thought, Luo Feng placed Mei Wuqi into the Star Tower.

In an empty space within the Star Tower.

Mei Wuqi lay there, trembling in pain and fear. Having always lived a pampered life, his mental endurance was very weak. Under the control of Luo Feng’s mental will, the forbidden technique ‘Nine Specter Kill’ constructed with Perfect Divine Power was too powerful.

In the torment and pain, Mei Wuqi’s consciousness shattered and he died in just over ten breaths.

“Weak mental will.” Luo Feng’s consciousness enveloped and observed everything. Mei Wuqi’s uselessness was within his expectations.

…

In the Dream Flower Pavilion.

“Mei Wuqi is dead.” The Pavilion Master of the Dream Flower Pavilion, Zhu You, and Jiang Chengyou all received the latest bounty task pushed by the Dark Hall of the Yan Feng Pavilion.

The bounty for Mei Wuqi was a mere twenty thousand Cosmos Sand! The Five Great Families had never cared about this small bounty.

However, at this moment, this bounty task was completed.

Clearly, the Yan Feng Pavilion confirmed… Mei Wuqi was dead!

“He really killed Mei Wuqi,” Zhu You and the others felt a mix of emotions.

Each of the Five Great Families had only about ten Eternal True Gods. These roughly fifty extraordinarily bloodlined Eternal True Gods were the core high-level officials who ruled Huyang City.

And Mei Wuqi was one of them.

Killing the Huyang Guard commander was a bad influence. But killing Mei Wuqi made the other high-level officials naturally fearful. If Mei Wuqi could be killed today, could they be killed tomorrow?

“Divine Lord Luo He, I can’t stop you,” the three-eyed face on the surface of the spherical fortress in the sky sighed, “But you were wrong to kill Mei Wuqi!”

“Tell the Five Great Families that if they want to make a move, they can come at me. I will take them all on!” Luo Feng looked up at the sky.

The spherical fortress said no more, enveloped the collapsed Zi Yu Hou with invisible power, and then disappeared into the void.

Luo Feng watched this scene from afar.

“Cleaning up feels good,” Luo Feng smiled and walked towards Zhu You, “Brother Zhu You, do you have the courage to continue drinking with me?”
