Otherworldly Evil Monarch

The green-clad young lady — the Snake King — bowed respectfully, and acknowledged the order.

”Third and Fourth… you had said that that this mysterious man was very strong. That… he might even be more powerful than me. How would you judge his cultivation compared to mine? And, be honest!” the shrouded person’s voice was somewhat hoarse.

”That man’s cultivation is very high. I figure it wouldn’t be less than yours. His cultivation would be more or less at par with you,” Long Crane replied in a careful manner after he had considered it for a while.

However, Big Bear’s head was perhaps stuffed with melon seeds. So, he didn’t understand the meaning behind Long Crane’s roundabout reply. And, he opened his big mouth, and spoke, ”Third Brother, you need to open your eyes before you speak such blind nonsense. That person’s cultivation was profound mystery. Eldest Brother is indeed very strong, but let’s be honest… he could easily beat-up several people like you to dust… uh… in fact, I think that he could easily destroy two such people with ease… I… uh… damn it… I… uh… damn it… I didn’t mean that uh… I didn’t say that damn it… You’re the strongest there is Eldest Brother… damn it… I didn’t mean that… damn it… I was just saying that the Eldest Brother could easily beat-up ten people like him… damn it…” lung-splitting screams were heard soon after…

He hadn’t finished speaking when his entire body had started to tremble. He had then opened his eyes, and had returned to his senses. But, it was already too late. ”Bang!” his entire body was hurled upside-down into the ground under the shrouded person’s leg. Soon, only a faint snapping sound could be heard. And, this was because he had hit a few subterranean tree-roots… and had broken them…

”So, form your words… I can gather that this man’s strength is much stronger than mine? Is that what you mean…? There’s no need to mince your words; speak in a straightforward manner, and don’t waste my time!” the shrouded man sounded somewhat gloomy as he nonchalantly clapped his hands, and moved his leg. One could see the two soles of Big Bear’s legs jutting-out of the spot in the ground where he had been hurled into. And, the fading sounds of Big Bear’s painful groans could also be heard…

”Even the three Holy Lands and those reckless old men outside it canʼt match my cultivation. So whatʼs the deal with this man? How can he have such high cultivation?” The shrouded man moved his legs to and fro for a while. He was somewhat perplexed. And, a mournful groan was heard every time his steps fell on the ground…

”This manʼs origin is quite mysterious. And, his strength is profound. But, I can assure you that he’s in no way a mediator from the Three Holy Lands!” Long Crane replied solemnly. His back was as straight as a ramrod, and his expression was also very serious. He had learned from the mistake Big Bear had just made, and had deliberated every word of his speech.

He had done this since he feared that the same thing might happen to him.

”How can you be sure?” The shrouded person continued to move his feet up and down. But, his movements didnʼt even raise the dust. The power of his feet was being transferred to the ground. But, the pitiful Big Bear wasnʼt injured or in pain because of this — only his head continued to get pushed deeper into the ground because of this stomping…

Big Bearʼs skin was rough. So, he wouldnʼt have gotten hurt anyway. He continued to stomp till his feet stepped on empty space. The shrouded man was satisfied only when the whole of Big Bearʼs body had gone into the second layer of soil underneath.

”Eldest Brother, you know that those old men from the three Holy Lands have a despicable aura…? And, it’s something which we can easily sense. Well… this manʼs aura isn’t only despicable, but itʼs also quite a delight. I donʼt know why… but it also makes one wish to get friendlier with him...”

”Ahm… so… I clearly understand that this merely your intuition! ” The person shrouded in black cut him off with a wave of his hand.

”Intuition…?” Long Craneʼs expression was unusual as he looked on. Then, he secretly mumbled a few word to himself.

”What are you looking at? What are you thinking? Is my analysis wrong?” the shrouded man asked fiercely as he let his aura loose in anger. He then used his formless aura to bind Long Crane in a tight grip.
