Chapter 1629 – Meet and Greet
Boom–!
The earth-shattering popping sound echoed in the dark sky above the city, the people hiding in their homes were trembling in their hearts, and through the gaps in the portals, they saw the “mysterious” flying towards the top of the restaurant, only to be madly cut down by the two figures.
”It’s the people brought by the Marquis! The Marquis has come to protect us!”
Seeing this scene, the male owner of one of the households emerged with a joyful color, yet he didn’t dare to talk loudly and could only lower his voice and say.
”Many thanks to the Marquis, many thanks to the Marquis …… Many thanks to the Marquis for avenging my little son who was eaten ah ……” The woman beside him directly fell to her knees in her home, and in the direction of the restaurant, she continuously Kneeling up, face full of tear tracks.
”Father, there seems to be someone else on this road?” A boy blinked his eyes through the doorway and spoke with some uncertainty.
”What nonsense, how can there be people on the road at this time? Isn’t that looking for death?”
”But there really is ah ……”
The man looked through the doorway on the other side, and sure enough, there was a figure clad in a black robe with a bucket hat, walking along the road in the direction of the restaurant.
”Is he crazy?!” The man’s pupils contracted slightly.
”Father, there’s a monster flying down above his head!” The boy exclaimed once again.
Only to see a monster that had originally flown in the direction of the restaurant, suddenly seeing the silhouette below, it directly reversed its direction and swooped towards him at speed!
Then the hazy starlight, they could make out that it was a vicious monster resembling a bat, once it opened its mouth, its bloody mouth could almost directly swallow their house, seeing that bat rushing towards here, the woman screamed out in sharp misery.
Just as the bat was about to swallow the figure along with their house in one gulp, the figure suddenly raised its head and blasted out a fist directly!
Dang-!
His fist smashed into the bat’s jaws, directly opening a hideous bloody hole in its body, followed by a ray of broken sword light flashing through, cutting off its head as if it was slicing tofu.
It all happened so fast that in the men’s eyes, the figure just shook for a moment, and blood spilled over the entire street like rain, and a hideous head rolled gurgling to the front of their house.
Seeing the monster’s head so close, the man was directly scared out of his wits and sat down on the ground with a cry of shock!
The figure wearing a bucket hat and cloaked in black robes glanced at them, and after hesitating for a moment, he still picked up the bat’s head with one hand, muttering:
”Let’s take this thing, as a meeting gift for the Marquis ……”
The figure looked behind the door and walked straight in the direction of the tavern.
Without taking a few steps, a giant wolf sprang out from the street corner, a bloodthirsty light emerged in its eyes, it glared at the figure and hissed as it rushed out …… Only to hear a loud bang, there was another wolf head in the figure’s hand.
”Two meeting gifts ……” The vague voice came from the distance and dissipated without a trace in the wind.
The chaotic sounds of killing came from the top of the tavern, and Huo Zaiwei withdrew his gaze and walked back over to the table to sit down.
He picks up his chopsticks and gently taps them on the corner of the table, and unhurriedly begins to eat the leftovers on the table, as if none of the killing and clamor in the outside world has anything to do with him, and he’s just a pure diner.
”Your men are killing outside, you are eating leisurely?” Seeing this, the female prisoner spoke quietly.
”They still need to practice.” Huo spoke faintly as he ate his food.
”You don’t need it anymore?”
”Needed, but these enemies, they are of little benefit to me.”
”What a big mouth.” The female prisoner couldn’t help but laugh, “Then tell me, how strong are you now? Invincible under the heavens?”
”Invincible in the world can’t be talked about.” Huo Daizi opened his mouth nonchalantly, a pair of deep eyes on that young and stern face reflecting the earth and starry sky outside the window, “But in this era, I, Huo Daizi, am the highest of the pillars of mankind.”
”The highest of mankind?”
Hearing this description, the female prisoner first froze for a moment, then sneered, “I thought the rumored Champion Marquis, what a heroic figure, but now it seems that he’s nothing more than a conceited and arrogant teenager.”
Huo Daizi didn’t retort, he lowered his head and chucked out a piece of fish, chewing it carefully.
Seeing that Huo Zaiwei didn’t react, the female prisoner’s eyes flashed with a shimmering light, “Since you’re the tallest of human beings, why do you still need to use this special shackle to trap me? Could it be that you are so strong that you are still afraid of me escaping from in front of you? How dare you claim to be the highest of humans when you are so fearful?”
Huo Zaiwei’s chopsticks lurched as he glanced at the female prisoner, the corners of his mouth curling into a smile:
”Aggressive method?…… It seems that you’re not stupid, it’s the caliber of this aggressive method that still needs to be improved.”
The female prisoner’s face stiffened, coldly grunted, and skimmed her head.
”However, if you really want to try, I can also give you a chance.” Huo Zaiwei’s voice came again.
”What?”
”I’ll unlock your shackles, and you can use all your strength to try and see if you can escape this city …… If you do, I’ll let you escape for three days, and then I’ll make a move to hunt you down afterwards.”
Hearing these words, the female prisoner’s eyes flashed with a shimmer of hope, “What if you don’t escape?”
”If you don’t escape, before you get to Chang’an and get carted off, no matter what, you have to listen to me.”
The female prisoner’s brow furrowed as if she was calculating something.
”If you’re thinking that even if you don’t escape, you can still play tricks and not listen to my orders, then you could have cut that off earlier.” As if Huo Zaiwei had read the female prisoner’s thoughts, he casually waved his hand, and out of the nothingness behind him, a purple reptile suddenly flew out and landed in his palm,…
”This thing is called [Returning Heart Compulsion], it is one of the ‘Mysteries’ that are dominated by me, if you don’t escape, you’ll have to eat it …… by then it’s not up to you whether you listen to orders or not.”
The female prisoner looked at the purple reptile and her face turned ugly.
However, she looked down and saw the heavy shackles on her shoulders, and a tangle still emerged in her eyes, and after a long time, as if she had made up her mind, she solemnly nodded her head:
”Alright, I promise you!”
Huo slowly puts down his chopsticks and walks over to the female prisoner, that young general’s face, hooking up a smile.
”Then, the bet will begin.”
He gently hooked his finger, and the heavy shackle on the female prisoner’s shoulder instantly snapped in two from the center, and spiritual energy surged back into her body, a long-lost sense of power filling her entire body!
The female prisoner’s eyes instantly brightened, a majestic aura comparable to that of the human ceiling realm suddenly erupted, and like a lithe cheetah, she instantly swept out of the window and disappeared under the night sky.
He actually really released me?
The female prisoner’s heart was ecstatic, her figure steadily landed on the ground two streets away, at this moment, the distance to the city wall gate was just over a hundred meters, which was nothing to her at all!
”Arrogant fool.”
She lightly grunted, and was about to swoop and rush out of the city gates when a figure clad in a black robe and a bucket hat, dragging a bunch of heads of unknown monsters behind him, suddenly stepped out from the corner of the street.
”Huh?” Lin Qiye suddenly froze when he saw the female prisoner in the center of the road, “Isn’t that the prisoner?”
He looked up in the direction of the tavern, a smile similarly surfacing at the corners of his mouth:
”This meet-and-greet gift should have more weight ……”
