Emperor's Reckoning

Chapter 469 - Vulnerable Ascending God Cultivators

One female was standing in front of a building that seemed deserted, with her face making bitter scorn as soon as her eyes took a sight against the placard. 

"So, the one that we got is the female one huh?"

A voice came out of nowhere before a figure appeared right in front of her. The haughty note matched the way the cultivator stood. He took his chin a bit higher as his eyes were looking down on her. (Why are her ears... black? Is she cursed?)

The onlookers and nearby cultivators immediately took notice before their eyes jolted in unison. The rumored three people that each destroying auction houses after auction houses that belonged to Treas, one of them were actually right in front of them.

"This city hosted one of the main branches of Treas! Many experts had made some deal with it!"

"Oi, keep your voice down!"

"The other experts are approaching right as we speak!"

*Swoosh!

The wind was approaching before silhouettes after silhouette came and stood right beside the male cultivator that was guarding the huge building. The indomitable presence that all more than fifty of them exuded could pressure a stone to a crack. All of them had their own unique aura and not a single one of them looked like a noble. They were all built on the battlefield and the wild nature.

"Damn! They all came!"

"Of course they are! Don't you know the benefit of having a contract with Treas? They won't let someone destroy their way of making fortune, even if it's a woman... though, why are her ears black?"

They all wondered the same thing. She had a weird feature that some old religious people would find appalling. However, their mockery couldn't reach her ears nor did she care even if she heard it.

"It's over lady, your rampaging ways ends now."

"I'm sorry to bully you like this but, I gotta make an easy life for myself you know. No hard feelings."

"Take pride that you even manage to make the world tremble by your sight, even for Treas."

They all smiled but their words did nothing as she was unfazed. Not even the jade streak light that was coming from the sky could make her took a glance.

The returning jade stone was activated by someone and their destination was right at the entrance of the building that looked vacant just a moment ago. A skinny figure came out of the light, he was one of the men that was participating in that private meeting a moment ago. His eyes opened wide as he looked at the over fifty experts that gathered right in front of him.

"W-What's going on? Why are you all...Hm!" the manager furrowed his eyebrows as he saw a lone female standing right in at the gate.

(Thank goodness I made those shady deals with these experts, otherwise, I would have come back to an empty lot)

"I thank all of you for coming to aid! However, I need to say a few words with this assailant of ours," said the manager confidently before he stepped forward.

"Don't worry, as you all know me, I will not let this event went by without a proper *Ehem! gesture."

The experts turned all smile before toward the walking man before they raised their weapons, "That's our manager!"

"Let's continue our good work for years to come!"

"Haha! I can even smell tonight's banquet already!"

The manager gave all smiles but his focus was toward the assailant that made him slightly worried before in that private meeting. However, being protected by these over fifty cultivator experts he could have a piece of mind. (With the table being leveled, I might be able to procure up some information regarding Lyon's background! Merit oh merit, I wonder what kind of prize will I have from the head! Hahaha!).

"Hello there..."

The woman didn't answer.

(What a cold bitch! Heh, no matter, I still have the upper hand here).

"It seems that we are at odds. However, nothing in this world stood forever right? Why not exchange some words with me and cool down a bit?"

(What meddlesome bitch! You are making me lose face here!) thought the manager as veins could be seen bulging beside her mouth.

The woman suddenly showed her hand to his surprise.

"Woah, hold it right there missy, I could only hold my string for so long," said one of the experts as he locked his target using his bow.

"I'm sure you are not going to do anything rash now," said the manager with a smile despite the small profusing sweat on his forehead. He opened his arms, "all of them is an Ascending God realm cultivator!"

(The gathering of such power is unprecedented, I'm sure that she is changing her mind now... Hmmm? Heh, too afraid that her body froze out of fear eh) thought the manager as he saw her indifference.

"We can all forgive and forget now, I'm sure your two friends will—"

*BOOM!

The woman suddenly leaped and pierced the clouds above, leaving a powerful gale that fluttered his hair and squinting his eyes. Even the experts couldn't help but be astonished by that sudden jump as they all had their heads looking up at the sky.

"Hah, a coward."

"Hey that's not fair, we are all over fifty and she is only one."

"Well, you're right but—?!?!"

All of the experts suddenly had an ominous feeling as their legs felt as heavy as the ground they were standing on.

"The pressure is unreal!"

"W-What's going on?! I couldn't lift my finger!"

The manager felt as if something was ripping his entire organs down to the ground.

"Is it her?!"

"Look! It is her!"

The woman revealed herself once more as she brood over them with scorn on her face.

"Vulnerable from the sky and you call yourself the main branch, how pathetic! This much and you dare to demean my emperor's reputation?!" she furrowed her eyebrows, "Then watch closely how helpless you are..."

The thick white clouds suddenly turned dark in a single glare of hers before the surging current from nature's finest let out a deafening roar.

"N-No... please... no..."

"Oh fuck, oh fuck!"

"But... but... I'm an Ascending God cultivator..."

The experts wailed and turned distressed but the pressure locked their soul on the site still. Their heart rate increased exponentially as the ominous feeling had triggered their flight instinct. However, no matter how many times they beg their legs to move, not even their toes could budge.

"Wa... Let's get out of here!"

"Everyone run!"

The onlookers didn't think twice before scrambling apart with their hearts thumping in preparation for the sudden shock.

The thumping noise in the sky was more like a roar of madness but one loud spit could be heard from above before it landed right on top of the placard. 

The manager's pupils dilated to the extreme as a bright light was coming at him. His eardrums were busted even before the lightning strikes down.

*Boom!

The ground shook greatly as the onlookers that managed to get away found themselves to be in a state of unbalance, even when they were above ground. The bright light almost blinded some of them but they all watched it in horror. All those Ascending God realm cultivator experts, along with the ground they were standing... not even ash was left. 

Her dark golden hair fluttered before she disappeared with a leap.
