Chapter 672 - 575: Wherever I Stand, There I Am King
The leading mythical beast let out another long howl, and the beasts began to change their state, distancing themselves from Zhao Yi and forming a two-kilometer-wide encirclement. Fear filled their hearts, and clustering together offered them some solace.
Blood dripped down the Void Spirit Sword, the forest was completely destroyed, and fires burned in some areas. The craftsmen and the cultivators who came to buy tools listened to the angry roars from the forest and watched the flames with fear, yet their curiosity was undeniable. Who was within the encirclement, facing the beast army without faltering and persisting for so long?
"Ha!"
The mythical beasts opened their mouths wide simultaneously, and in front of them, various colors of spiritual energy began to converge!
Hundreds of mythical beasts simultaneously unleashed Spiritual Energy Bullets!
"Boom!"
The Spiritual Energy Bullets all targeted Zhao Yi, and the beasts believed that this time they could definitely eliminate Zhao Yi. No one could survive the intense Spiritual Energy Bullets!
"This is absolutely impossible!"
The leading beast exclaimed in shock again, the scene before him had already exceeded his understanding!
Zhao Yi, with bare hands, sent all these Spiritual Energy Bullets flying! Some of the bullets exploded in the sky, dispersing dark clouds, while more exploded among the beast army, directly killing hundreds of mythical beasts!
"How did he do it?"
"Who is he?"
"This guy is too fierce! I want to marry him!" A cultivator exclaimed, drawing sidelong glances from others.
"Anyone else?" Zhao Yi, like a Celestial God scrutinizing lower realm beings, scanned the surrounding beasts without any emotion. He sensed fear! He sensed trembling!
Good, this is exactly what I want.
With an icy stare, he looked towards the leading mythical beast, the previously confident army leader, now contemplating retreat!
Yet such a retreat would mean mission failure! Returning would mean severe punishment!
He is unwilling!
"Ha!" The leading beast opened its mouth wide, personally condensing a Spiritual Energy Bullet.
Launch!
Face it!
"What!"
Zhao Yi directly caught the Spiritual Energy Bullet with one hand, drawing gasps from the mythical beasts.
"Return it to you!"
Zhao Yi suddenly flashed above the leading beast, and the Spiritual Energy Bullet directly smashed into its head!
The Spiritual Energy Bullet exploded, wounding the leading beast, and the other mythical beasts, instead of coming to rescue, began retreating. For them, the leader’s death meant a chance for promotion.
"Pft!"
With a massive loss of spiritual power and vomiting blood madly, the leading beast could no longer maintain its huge body, shrinking to about two meters in size, and heavily fell to the ground. He was no longer the arrogant and confident figure from when they met.
His eyes were lifeless, like someone on the brink of death.
"Can you tell me why our attack suddenly became useless in front of you!"
The mythical beast uttered, then spat another mouthful of blood, lowering his health further.
"When I realized the Power of Laws couldn’t affect you, I wondered if your bodies would be forced to accept the Power of Laws if you entered a world. So, while we were bickering and battling."
"I used a clone to set up a barrier around us, within which I created an independent Little World. I didn’t expect I could succeed."
"My master is the greatest and smartest, you fools couldn’t possibly understand, let me explain!"
The Nine Dragon Jade Seal suddenly appeared, starting to flatter Zhao Yi, only to be scorned by the latter.
"As a Divine Artifact, falling into flattery is disappointing; I understand what it means. When you expand a world, unless your power exceeds the Heavenly Dao Will, you are susceptible to its control and the Power of Laws of the world."
"You’re right, that’s exactly it!"
After hearing the explanation, the leader died, his eyes became hollow, he passed away unwillingly.
At this moment, Zhao Yi raised his head and watched as the surviving mythical beasts scattered.
The leader’s death meant mission failure, indicating they couldn’t rival their opponent here.
Ten minutes later, everything returned to normal.
"These damn creatures are finally dead! Master, you’re truly amazing!"
The Nine Dragon Jade Seal cheerfully danced around, but Zhao Yi felt no excitement; he sensed the mythical beasts’ inner loss and frustration. He started to ponder, did he really understand these giants? Did others in the Law Cosmos truly understand them?
"I didn’t expect you to actually defeat them!"
The room’s door opened, and an elder strolled out casually. With a gentle wave of his left hand, a Melting Furnace was summoned and flew towards him.
"What’s the meaning of this? Didn’t you sell me this thing?"
"What nonsense, this thing wouldn’t sell for even 100,000 gold, yet you thought you could take it for just one! Dream on!"
The elder spoke righteously, rendering Zhao Yi speechless, having roamed the cosmos for years, it’s the first time he’s encountered such a rogue.
"You old thing, why didn’t you mention this when the beasts arrived! Now you’re being tricky!"
"He’s not being tricky, you just didn’t know. To have the tool truly become yours, you must sign a contract, otherwise, no matter how much you pay, the tool won’t go with you!"
A refined middle-aged cultivator appeared behind Zhao Yi, alongside the returning buyers. Some of them eyed Zhao Yi up and down, while others surveyed the beast corpses for opportunistic gains.
"Exactly, that’s the situation. Who told you not to clarify before agreeing!" The elder said smugly.
The Nine Dragon Jade Seal wanted to curse a few more times but was stopped by Zhao Yi, who sent the Nine Dragon Jade Seal back to the space, unwilling to be recognized by others.
But even though Zhao Yi was quick to react, it was too late!
"I know who he is! He’s Zhao Yi!"
"My god, he’s the Zhao Yi who opposed the Divine Tree!"
"Exactly, it’s him! He has that Divine Artifact after the Nine Dragon Jade Seal!"
The cultivators were in an uproar, surprised by Zhao Yi’s appearance at this place!
The elder was also dumbfounded, knowing Zhao Yi’s prowess. Remembering his recent trickery on Zhao Yi, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
"Old man, I think it’d be better if you help Zhao Yi complete the contract." The middle-aged cultivator spoke, fully relieving the elder.
However, the greedy elder ignored him completely, glaring as he said, "Business emphasizes fair trade, don’t think you can forcefully buy or sell!"
The middle-aged cultivator could only smile helplessly at Zhao Yi.
Zhao Yi knew this guy probably recognized him early on, speaking in such a manner to leave a good impression.
"That damn hypocrite," Zhao Yi cursed internally, but still thanked him verbally.
"Old man, I’ll overlook it now, let’s start the auction!"
"Starting price: 500,000 gold!"
"Are you mad!"
"You old fool! Are you insane?"
