Chapter 621 - 452: Reversing the Heavenly Gang

Zheng Yi descended like a celestial god, standing in front of Zhou Kunshan and the others.

The first Zhao Family guard charged forward, nearly slashing Zhou Kunshan with his blade, yet Zheng Yi struck him away with a single palm.

Furious at this senseless killing, Zheng Yi delivered a vicious blow with that palm.

The guard was sent flying over five zhang and crashed into a large tree.

With a thunderous roar, the tree snapped in half and fell with a loud crash, the guard spewing a mouthful of fresh blood.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What just happened?

Numerous doubts arose in the guard’s mind.

He was a guard of the Zhao Family.

In this realm, they could walk with impunity.

Before today, not only would no one dare to attack them, but few would even speak loudly in their presence.

Not just him, even Young Master Zhao was startled by the sudden appearance of Zheng Yi.

Terror flashed in his eyes, followed by boundless anger.

He trembled all over, shouting in fury, "How dare you attack my people, it’s truly rebellion."

"Kneel and beg for my forgiveness immediately. Otherwise, my family will tear you limb from limb without mercy."

Zheng Yi’s face darkened, his aura continuously rising.

Two Crystal Stage guards struggled to stand before Young Master Zhao, shielding him from Zheng Yi’s pressure.

"I’m curious about one thing." Zheng Yi said coldly, "Why do you assume that the villagers of Riverbend Village are poachers?"

"Even if they really did, without any evidence, would you go as far as to kill?"

"Furthermore, it’s just poaching, a mere punishment would suffice, not murder?"

Zheng Yi’s three questions were like three heavy hammers, deafening.

Facing his probing, Young Master Zhao snorted disdainfully, "What audacity, to question my decisions?"

"I am Zhao Mingtang of the Zhao Family; what I say is law, no need for evidence."

"Even if mistaken, them dying for our Zhao Family would be a blessing for those peasants."

Suddenly, Zhao Mingtang paused and yelled, furiously, "How dare you question me? I don’t need to explain myself."

Even he couldn’t understand why, despite the cultivator’s apparent Crystal Stage strength, he felt a faint sense of being inferior.

That’s impossible, certainly an illusion.

"How dare you question my decisions, you deserve death too!"

"Kill!"

The two Crystal Stage experts did not follow Zhao Mingtang’s orders.

One of them whispered, "Young Master, although this man appears to be at the Crystal Stage, his strength is immeasurable."

"We are ill-prepared now, best to avoid conflict."

"In my opinion, it would be wiser to stabilize him first, then return with reinforcements to eliminate him."

In this circumstance, his suggestion was the safest choice.

Unfortunately, for Zhao Mingtang, as a proud member of the Zhao Clan, how could they retreat before peasants?

"Silence! Are you suggesting I flee from battle?"

"This guy is merely at the Crystal Stage; no matter his strength, can’t two of you handle one person?"

"Now go, and kill this impudent fool. If you can’t manage even that, then you’re useless."

Upon hearing Zhao Mingtang’s words, the faces of the two Crystal Stage guards turned pale.

They had been by Zhao Mingtang’s side the longest, clear on his temperament.

Should he deem someone useless, it’s not just dismissal; the unworthy have no right to live in his eyes.

This even extends to their families alike.

They had personally disposed of several who had disappointed Young Master Zhao.

The whole family, none survived.

For them now, there was no other choice.

"Meet your doom!"

The two roared, charging at Zheng Yi.

To guard Zhao Mingtang closely, these two guards were indeed formidable.

Within the same realm, they were top-tier experts.

Unfortunately, what they were now facing wasn’t an ordinary cultivator, but Zheng Yi.

Since being drawn into the Canglan Realm by Huiyue Demon Venerable, Zheng Yi had been in constant battle.

The battles he endured were ones ordinary cultivators could hardly imagine.

Right after breaking into the Crystal Stage, he faced Golden Core stage experts.

Even if Huiyue Demon Venerable seemed a bit lackluster for a Golden Core stage, he was still a true Golden Core.

And it escalated, his opponents becoming Divinity Transformation Stage, even Enlightenment Stage.

Zheng Yi’s enemies were all at least one realm stronger.

It could be said, this was the weakest enemies Zheng Yi faced after advancing to Crystal Golden Core.

To Zheng Yi, their fierce attacks were riddled with flaws.

He could easily neutralize their offense.

Seeing his guards unable to gain the upper hand, Zhao Mingtang cursed fiercely, "Damn worthless fools, two against one, can’t even take down that hateful guy."
