Venerable Supreme of Myriad Dragons

Chapter 152: Chapter 152: Do You Really Want to See?

Crown Prince Chen Luo glanced at the newcomer with disdain. "Asura Tower? Third-in-command? You’re just a bunch of pathetic clowns."

"A bunch of petty thieves dare to act so brazenly before me!"

Crown Prince Chen Luo said coldly, and with a sweep of his hand at his waist, a magnificent longsword appeared there.

He grasped the hilt and drew the sword. In an instant, a white light flashed, and a crescent-shaped arc of sword light shot out.

As expected of an expert on the Martial Arts Ranking, wherever the sword light passed, it tore through space with a sizzling sound, as if it would cleave the very heavens and earth.

Then, Crown Prince Chen Luo sheathed his sword and turned away with a flourish, not even deigning to look at the bald man, as if he already knew the outcome.

CLANG!

A crisp sound rang out, like striking a bronze bell.

But Crown Prince Chen Luo’s sword strike did not produce the result he had anticipated.

The Third-in-Command of Asura Tower had thrown a punch, shattering the sword light. The attack only left a faint mark on his arm.

"You’re courting death!"

The Third-in-Command of Asura Tower looked at the mark on his fist and flew into a rage.

"Hm?"

Crown Prince Chen Luo, realizing something was wrong, spun around in horror.

The Third-in-Command of Asura Tower had already closed the distance in a single step, appearing right before him.

A terrifying fist appeared before Crown Prince Chen Luo’s eyes, growing larger and larger until it filled his entire vision.

THUD!

With a dull thud, Crown Prince Chen Luo’s face took a heavy blow from the Third-in-Command of Asura Tower, the impact distorting his features.

Alarmed, Crown Prince Chen Luo staggered backward.

But the Third-in-Command of Asura Tower flared with purple light. A massive hand descended like a mountain, slamming down on Crown Prince Chen Luo’s head. It was followed by another punch of astonishing power.

Startled, Crown Prince Chen Luo hastily raised his sword to block.

CLANG!

The massive fist smashed against the longsword, causing the entire blade to bend and warp.

Yet the fist’s momentum didn’t lessen. It drove past the bent sword and slammed viciously into Crown Prince Chen Luo’s face.

BANG!

Crown Prince Chen Luo’s body was sent flying like an arrow, crashing onto the deck with a loud thud. The entire Cloud Ship shuddered from the impact.

Afterward, a battered Chen Luo lifted his head. He looked at the sword in his hand and found it twisted and mangled beyond recognition.

"Who did you say was a pathetic clown?"

The Third-in-Command of Asura Tower spat disdainfully. He reached out a large hand and effortlessly lifted Chen Luo like a chick, then raised his other hand and punched him in the face.

"Ah!"

Crown Prince Chen Luo cried out in pain, spitting a mouthful of fresh blood.

The Third-in-Command of Asura Tower grinned savagely. "Who did you say was a petty thief?"

THWACK!

Another heavy punch landed.

"Ugh... ah..."

Crown Prince Chen Luo screamed as his teeth were knocked from his mouth.

Crown Prince Chen Luo’s servant, horrified, cried out, "How dare you! My young master is the eldest son of the Spiritual Power King of the Chen Kingdom! If you dare lay a hand on him, our Prince will annihilate your entire Asura Tower!"

Yet, the moment the words left his mouth, a massive fist flew over and smashed viciously into his face.

The servant’s eyes instantly burst. He spat out a mouthful of blood and crashed to the floor, his head lolling to one side, all life gone.

"Some bullshit Crown Prince. It’s you people I’m here to rob!"

The Third-in-Command of Asura Tower spat on the servant’s face, then turned his vicious gaze to Chen Luo. "Bullshit Crown Prince, if you don’t want to die, you’ll obediently hand over everything you have."

Before Crown Prince Chen Luo could speak...

WHAM!

...the Third-in-Command of Asura Tower, as if just venting his anger, landed another heavy punch.

"Aargh..."

Crown Prince Chen Luo cried out and had no choice but to shake out all his belongings.

Lv Yunsheng was horrified. His eyes widened. ’To think that Crown Prince Chen Luo, ranked eighteenth on the Martial Arts Ranking, would be utterly powerless to fight back, only able to be tortured like this.’

’The Asura Tower’s strength is this terrifying.’

At that moment, the Third-in-Command of Asura Tower looked coldly at Lv Yunsheng. "And yours?"

Lv Yunsheng jumped in fright. How could he dare resist? He quickly shook out all his belongings and threw them on the floor.

Shen Daoxing watched all this without making a move. ’I’m wanted by the entire Celestial Profound Sacred Land right now,’ he thought. ’I absolutely cannot draw attention to myself. After all, almost everyone on this ship wants to kill me.’

The Third-in-Command of Asura Tower then looked coldly at Shen Daoxing. "And yours?"

Shen Daoxing said nothing, simply tossing a bundle from his bed in front of the Third-in-Command of Asura Tower.

The Third-in-Command of Asura Tower kicked it open for a look. It was stuffed with clothes and all sorts of snacks: candied fruits, rice crackers, osmanthus cakes, jujube pastries, tuckahoe pies, sugar paintings, and more, packed to the brim.

The items the Ninth Princess had prepared for him were nothing if not abundant, though perhaps a bit heavy on the food.

The Third-in-Command of Asura Tower glanced at it and frowned. "This is all?"

He was clearly unsatisfied. He then raised his head and sized up Shen Daoxing, his gaze extremely hostile.

Seeing this, Lv Yunsheng quickly tried to smooth things over. "Third-in-Command, Yang is just a scholar with nothing of value. You are a man of great magnanimity; please let him go."

"Get lost!"

The Third-in-Command of Asura Tower, however, just sent Lv Yunsheng flying with a vicious kick.

His fierce gaze continued to sweep over Shen Daoxing, finally landing on his finger.

The Third-in-Command of Asura Tower pointed at the ring on Shen Daoxing’s hand and said coldly, "That’s no ordinary ring, is it? Empty out everything inside it for me!"

Shen Daoxing looked down and frowned. Of course it wasn’t an ordinary ring. It was a Spatial Magical Artifact, a Sumeru Ring he had obtained in the True Dragon Secret Realm.

He could hand over anything else, but not the contents of this ring.

Because his Great Ming Demon Sparrow was hidden inside this Sumeru Ring, and the Great Ming Demon Sparrow could absolutely not be revealed in public.

"What, you’re not willing? Do I have to do it myself?"

The Third-in-Command of Asura Tower’s eyes darkened, his expression turning icy. "Are you looking to die?"

Alarmed, Lv Yunsheng quickly said, "Yang, just hand over whatever you have! Compared to your life, these worldly possessions are nothing. These people kill without batting an eye! We can’t afford to provoke them."

Shen Daoxing shook his head and sighed, looking at the Third-in-Command of Asura Tower with profound meaning. "Are you sure you want to see?"

"Enough of your nonsense! Take out everything in the ring!"

The Third-in-Command of Asura Tower glared viciously at Shen Daoxing, convinced he was hiding something good inside.

"Sigh."

Shen Daoxing let out a sigh. "Fine. I’ll let you have a look."

As he spoke, he reached for his ring. It glowed faintly, and then a streak of light suddenly flashed before everyone’s eyes.

In that same instant, a red line appeared on the neck of the Third-in-Command of Asura Tower. A moment later, that line burst open, gushing blood.

The head of the Third-in-Command of Asura Tower slid right off his neck, and crimson blood sprayed out like a Blood Arrow.
