Chapter 711: "I Just Want His Arm And Leg."

Chapter 711: "I Just Want His Arm And Leg."

Because of the attack power behind Fu Lang Zu's attack, a massive explosion of dust and dirt soared upward as if it were a volcanic eruption.

The colossal shockwave was terrifying, making the earth ripple like water and breaking nearby trees like chopsticks.

Our girls felt their hearts rise to their throats, making their hearts almost stop. This was an attack that Yasenia had no chance of surviving.

"FU LANG ZU, I'M GOING TO SLAUGHTER YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY!"

Tengliu's enraged shout rumbled across thousands of kilometers as her body became a streak of light and burst through the dust cloud, dispersing everything and showing the aftermath.

However, what they saw was not the sight of Yasenia's corpse but a strange aftermath.

Yasenia was uninjured, standing tall as if the enormous explosion had not affected her.

By her side, the land was divided into two very different parts.

One part was similar to before, only cracked because of the land ripple.

The other was utterly decimated; it looked like someone had taken a mountain-sized shovel and lifted all the land on Yasenia's right, leaving behind a chasm.

Fu Lang Zu's palm was touching the ground, while the previous inconspicuous person by Yasenia's side was in a position that showed that she had redirected the attack.

Tengliu stopped in her tracks, stupefied. 'That woman deflected the attack so perfectly that all the energy was thrown sideways, not affecting Yasenia.'

By Doriel's side, Fu Lang Zu was also stunned. While his claw-like palm strike descended onto Yasenia, the woman moved seamlessly, like flowing water, and flawlessly redirected his entire momentum. Moreover, she added some on her own to make it impossible for him to stop the attack mid-way.

Yasenia was utterly unfazed at this result. With her personal maids by her side, she was fearless. Even when she was a child, these maids protected her from people much stronger than Fu Lang Zu, not letting even a single dust mote touch the hem of her skirt.

With cold eyes, Yasenia looked at Fu Lang Zu. "I said, I won. Fu Lang Zu, you have broken the promise we made, you have attacked me with the intent to kill, and you have done so while being warned beforehand."

Yasenia looked toward the secret realm with a frosty expression. "Cao Chenghua, what will you do? What do you think I should do?"

Cao Chenghua's face had visibly changed. He had promised Yasenia that he would protect her, yet the arrogant and rash wolf had almost taken her life.

If this was not a slap to his face, nothing else was.

"Fu Lang Zu."

Fu Lang Zu finally reacted and looked upward at the man, who appeared like a silent shadow, levitating while flapping his four jade-like wings.

"Do you think that you have the qualifications to challenge my decisions?"

All the top experts from the Continental Shadows, amounting to 17 people, appeared on Fu Lang Zu's side.

Admiral Tidal Crest was the to speak. "Cao Chenghua, are you really going to act and destroy the balance we've maintained for so many years because of a junior?"

The people from the Supreme group, numbering 13, also appeared on Cao Chenghua's side.

However, before he could answer, Yasenia interrupted coldly. "Hey, do you really think that I have no grounds to challenge your powers?"

Everybody looked at her. Yasenia met their gazes, unflinching. "Do you think that I'm a suicidal bastard who wants to challenge the top powers of an entire continent without any basis whatsoever?"

After they heard her, their faces changed, becoming more serious, and their eyes landed on the unassuming Doriel by Yasenia's side.

Yasenia looked at Fu Lang Zu, meeting eye to eye, and stated. "I want him either dead or crippled. Otherwise, you'll have to deal with the consequences."

A silver-furred female wolf stepped forward. "Yasenia, that's enough. Things don't need to go to the end."

Yasenia looked at the woman who spoke and squinted. "Zephyrith, I'll forgive the nonsense you just said, so stay out of this before I break my promise with Sierra."

Zephyrith's red eyes flickered with hints of joy when she heard Yasenia insinuating that Sierra had asked Yasenia something related to her. However, she forcefully suppressed these ceaselessly growing feelings. "Yasenia, I'm speaking for your own good. Fu-."

"Zephyrith."

Fu Lang Zu warned with a deep tone, making her stop speaking. "Don't interrupt."

Zephyrith looked back and forth between Yasenia and Fu Lang Zu and then sighed, taking a step back.

Yasenia completely ignored the woman. It was not time yet to "recruit" that woman to their power.

Fu Lang Zu smiled mockingly. "You said some grand words right now. Do you really think that you can ask for them to cripple or even injure me?"

The dragoness didn't bother with him and looked at Cao Chenghua and Monarch Beastmaster. "If the leader of the Thirty-Three clans and the grand marshal of the Holy Beast Empire has a strand of self-respect left in them, this should be the result of your asinine actions toward me."

Their faces fell, looking at Yasenia deeply. Cao Chenghua spoke. "While it is true that him attacking you is not a good judgment, aren't you unharmed? I think that crippling him is going too far."

The dragoness looked at him and moved toward the Monarch Beastmaster. "What about you?"

He crossed his arms and spoke. "You are too young to understand the power balance in our continent. Therefore, I don't blame you for asking for such a thing. However, it is impossible."

The dragoness looked at them, growing disdain and disgust pooling inside her by the second.

She spat with dripping disdain. "I thought at least the top powers of an entire continent would be reasonable individuals who are not self-centered and corrupt. That, if you couldn't fulfill your words, there was going to be at least a minimum of rationale and order in their actions."

Yasenia barked a derisive laugh. "Ha! I was mistaken. It seems I was relatively lucky for gathering the top powers that are at least somewhat rational."

Then, with a chilling smirk, she spat. "Maids, I want Fu Lang Zu's arm and leg. Inflict some painful poison in him also. Please don't kill him yet. He has his uses."

Fu Lang Zu laughed. "Who are you calling? Do you really think that the woman by your side can do that? Yasenia, you are underestimating-."

Admiral Tidal Crest suddenly warned. "Fu Lang Zu, on your right!"

Right as Admiral Tidal Crest was shouting, Fu Lang Zu's entire body burst into chills, and he quickly summoned his claw-shaped weapons around his hands, punching toward his left.

CLANG!

BOOM!

His body shot backward like a cannonball, and in the place where he previously was, a dog woman wearing formal and beautiful maid outfits and smiling gently appeared, her luxurious halberd having just finished doing a wide arc. "Ara? He managed to react~. What a nice puppy."

Leila, the dog-kin maid working with Andrea, smiled softly. "However, you've been quite bad and attacked our Young Miss with the intent to kill, right? If I don't break every bone in your body at least twice, I feel like I will be unable to sleep~."

Admiral Tidal Crest reacted quickly and summoned a massive ax to attack Leila. The dog-kin leisurely spun her large weapon as if it were a light tree branch instead of a two-meter-long heavy halberd and finished the spin with an upward strike. "[Magma Strike]."

An oppressive aura burst from her as a tsunami-like magma wave exploded from her vertical strike.

BOOM!

Admiral Tidal Crest's bulky body was similarly shot back like a cannonball.

The other sixteen people from the Continental Shadow shouted as they sent a barrage of attacks toward Leila.

The power behind them was enough to flatten several mountains.

"Who are you!?"

"You dare appear here? You are courting death!"

"Arrogant!"

Leila chuckled. "So energetic, Selena."

An alluring red-scaled lamia appeared from nowhere, holding a massive shield and a very long sword. Her maid outfit fitted her voluptuous figure while her white shield and sword gleamed with otherworldly lights.

"[Tempered Glass Fortress]."

A small dome surrounded her and Leila, and they were swallowed by all the skills in an explosion that created an earthquake.

The leaders from the Continental Shadow sneered.

"Did they really think we are pushovers?"

"We should've held back to leave them alive. They looked quite good."

"While it is a shame, attacking the leader and vice leader is not something that can be forgiven."

Suddenly, an alluring voice joined their chat. "And you think that attacking our Young Miss is something acceptable? You poor, poor things. Unless we beat sense into you, it seems that our Young Miss will continue being looked down upon."

The dust settled, and Selena and Leila, completely unharmed, were standing together with another forty-six women who wore similar outfits. The aura coming from them was making even the space around the twist.

At the lead, an alluring yellow-scaled and blue-eyed dragon woman held a spear crackling with powerful lighting. She spoke again, making them realize that it was she who had just spoken. "Say, do you think the world will fall into a lot of trouble if all the top powers from one of the major organizations fall here?"

Her words, accompanied by the tyrannical and murderous aura that surrounded the forty-six women, made all the spectators and powers listening feel a chilling sensation as if a dagger was pointing at their hearts.

Wuria, at the side, couldn't help but stare at that beautiful lamia that was bursting with extremely powerful energies. 'Who is she? I've never heard of a lamia like her... Isn't she stronger than me? Wait.'

Suddenly, the purple-scaled lamia remembered the beautiful red-scaled lamia serving Yasenia tea and pampering the blonde-haired human woman. Her eyes almost popped out of their sockets. 'It's her!? She had this kind of strength!?'

Admiral Tide Breaker's shout snapped them out of their trance created by the imposing aura from their presence. "Fu Lang Zu, protect yourself!"

Fu Lang Zu, who had been thrown flying without control, stood up, feeling dizzy because of Leila's strength. 'Who in Heaven's name are these people?'

His entire body suddenly chilled, making him feel the threat of Death, and out of pure animalistic instincts cultivated from his bloodline and cultivation technique, he ducked.

SLASH

A dagger sliced the space where his throat previously was, and the strength of that strike cut all trees a few hundred meters behind the attack with the wind pressure.

Doriel looked at the retreating Fu Lang Zu emotionlessly. "That was a warning. Give me your arm and leg so that Young Miss is happy. I might not torture you if you do so willingly."

Fu Lang Zu's face dropped, and he snarled. "Do you think you can do as you please!? Do you think that this KING is easy to deal with!? Kill them all and capture the dragon! I want to see if they are as arrogant when the person they serve is screaming under me!"

Cao Chenghua shouted. "ENOUGH!"

Everybody looked at him, and he spoke. "Remember that the Power Summit is approaching, and it will happen in four years. You can resolve the differences then by using the juniors. There is no need for a fight between top experts to happen."

Yasenia looked at him and spoke. "Okay, I'll forgive the poison. I just want his arm and leg, and I'll leave him alone for now. I want a broom and a back-scratcher, and his limbs feel quite fitted for that role."

Cao Chenghua looked at Yasenia coldly. "Junior, do you think I'm playing? If your subordinates attack Fu Lang Zu, we will defend him. You can resolve your differences when the summit comes. If you act now, all major cities will prohibit your current shops from functioning."

Yasenia smiled. "A threat?"

Cao Chenghua snorted. "A warning. Don't be too arrogant. I admit that your… maids are really strong. But they can't face all of us."

Yasenia looked around and laughed. "If I counted correctly, there are 45 High-level Epoch Core cultivators, 126 middle-level Epoch Cores, and a few hundred low-level ones, counting the powers from The Supremes, World Arbiters, and Continental Shadows."

The dragoness looked at Chao Chenghua, and her smile widened. "That's not enough deterrent."

Everyone froze, looking at Yasenia with an incredulous expression.

The dragoness ordered. "Doriel, give me his arm and leg in five seconds."

Before they could react, a massive aura explosion that engulfed the area with deep darkness burst from Doriel.

The normal-looking human's aura became highly malevolent, as if a terrifying monster had escaped the abyss it was locked in.

"[Slaughter Intent Level Eight], [Death Intent Level Eight], [Shadow Intent Level Eight]."

Doriel's body, surrounded by shadows, vanished from her standing point and reappeared an instant later by Fu Lang Zu's side, emitting so much killing intent that her presence withered any plants in her wake.

Of course, Fu Lang Zu was not a pushover, so he reacted quickly and deployed body-enhancing skills.

His muscles bulged, and his skin hardened to the point of being comparable to high-ranking treasures. "My body is now tougher than high-level Heaven-ranked armors; good luck cutting anything."

Then, he clawed at Doriel with a powerful attack that twisted the air because of the sheer physical strength behind it.

Doriel's looked at him with her obsidian-like eyes. "[Innate Skill: Malevolent Devil Gaze], [Absolute Sky Severing Strike]."

Fu Lan Zu felt an extremely ominous presence and got lost in the abyss that was Doriel's obsidian-like eyes.

Then, he felt a burning pain in his arm and leg.

Feeling strangely lighter, his body lost balance and fell to the side.

He tried to use his leg to balance his body, but the fall wasn't stopping. Confused, he looked down, and he saw his right arm and leg missing.

Looking back, Yasenia was holding his arm and leg with a cold expression while Doriel faithfully stood by Yasenia's side, being petted by her tail like an obedient kitten.

'Huh? What happened?'

All the other experts present also felt pressure for the first time in centuries. Even the usual aloof Mermaid Queen's face was tensed, looking at Doriel with an incredulous gaze.

For the first time in her life, she had felt fear from someone.
