Chapter 926: A Heavy Figurative Slap In The Face

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The one who reacted the fastest was not the middle-aged man who let Yue Yang step on his shoulders, but the strange man whose voice was like a night owl as he flew in the shape of a bat.

He stretched out his hand.

A grotesque breeze swirled around him and several fallen leaves immediately accelerated. The scene was similar to summoning a beast as the leaves flew towards Yue Yang. But the Hand of Manipulation, which had never failed, suddenly failed. Just like a marionette, the wires connecting to the ‘puppet’ were cut by scissors and lost control. The fallen leaves that flew halfway all fluttered in the wind without a trace of strength. The strange man who stretched out his hand to control the life and death of others, was very stunned as his facial expressions morphed into an emotion of shock, as if he was actually punched in the face before realising.

At the same time, there was a layer of humiliation on his face that only appeared after being insulted.

He stared at Yue Yang stubbornly.

The middle-aged man, who claimed to be the City Lord, remained seated on the golden seat, but his eyes were also bursting with anger and his fists slammed at Yue Yang viciously.

“Welcome to my game! I promise, you will be very happy!” If the man actually managed to land a hit on Yue Yang, he wouldn’t call himself the Third Young Master that killed the Demon King and Red Sky River. If he was serious, he could completely kill the enemy in seconds, but Yue Yang did not do that. That was because he wanted to give this enemy, who liked to use human lives to play games, a surprise!

If student Yue Yang were to rank all the specialties of his life, the enviable talent of picking up girls would probably not be ranked first.

But if there was one speciality, if placed second, he guessed that his other special tricks and tactics wouldn’t be able to win first place over it either.

That specialty was abuse.

Yue Yang was not Buddha— he was thick-skinned, had a smart brain and w.as actually rather intelligent Therefore, the unique student Yue Yang was much faster and adequate in playing his role of dealing with his enemies. Through countless experiences and battles, the transmigrated man has grown and learnt immensely, gradually nurturing his own form of individuality and style. Currently, his motto was, ‘a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye’.

Many of the great people could do something like being slapped on the left cheek and also shoving their right cheek to be slapped once more—repaying grievances with virtue and influencing the enemy; many people who are not very great but were broad-minded could also be magnanimous and lenient to an extent. Even if a dog bit a person, the person would not bite the dog back; at most, they would take a detour and definitely choose not to have the same perspective as a dog![1]

T/L Note:[1] The above paragraph explains 2 types of people when they’re hurt or backstabbed. The 1st ones are like saints, who empathise and try to reform the bad guys. The 2nd type wouldn’t be that nice, but would attempt to avoid them and choose not to do the same towards them because they know they’re better than that.

Student Yue Yang naturally knew about these principles.

But knowing about it, didn’t mean that he had to do it.

According to Yue Yang’s style of doing things, if someone slapped the left side of his face once, he would slap the other person ten times. If he remained unsatisfied, he would chop off the person’s hand. But sometimes, things might be different. If a dog bit him once, Yue Yang would definitely choose not to biteback. Instead, he would have severed the dog’s head immediately.

After all, in Yue Yang’s heart, there were some differences between a dog and a human.

Just now, the middle-aged man who liked to play games very much, had lucked out because he met Yue Yang, who had decided to play with him.

Playing games, right?

Who wouldn’t!

“Actually, I don’t really like to eat roasted hearts and livers; sweet brains are also just so-so for me. But, seeing as it is a local delicacy,I would have to try it anyway. Don’t worry, after eating this meal, I will promote it to my companions next time. If they do want to try some as well, I will introduce your relatives and friends to them. I’m going to presume that your relatives and friends are as hospitable and open-minded as you are, by the way,” Yue Yang cleverly dodged the middle-aged man’s heavy punches in mid-air. Then, he landed casually and very smugly on the end of the golden chair.

The middle-aged man didn’t even manage to hit him and became even more angry as his voice roared like thunder.

He leapt into the sky, emanating the greatest strengths that he could muster in his body.

The shockwave that he emitted shook the entire Red Wolf Forest, forcing the substantive momentum to descend upon them like a mountain.

The hungry people on the ground were almost suffocated. If they hadn’t hugged each other tightly and used the collective strength to resist, with the strength of a single person, they would have been pressed into meat patties long ago under this terrifying influx of power. As if the middle-aged man was about to destroy the entire earth, he swooped down from a height of several hundred metres in mid-air and slammed down with a heavy punch. His body and fists were still in the air, but all of the starved had been oppressed to the point where they were starting to vomit blood. If it weren’t for Princess Qian Qian, who was holding the little girl and the baby, dodging around the people and raising the power of the Domain, the terrified mercenaries and the other civilians would have been suppressed into meat smithereens due to the shockwave.

The punch was aimed at the centre of the golden seat as the man rammed the entire seat onto the ground.

The seventeen slaves who originally carried the golden seat suffered snapped tendons and broken bones. During the screams, all seven holes[1] bled out before they finally exploded and died, turning into a cloud of blood.

T/L Note: [1] Refers to the eyes, the nostrils, the mouth and the ears.

On the contrary, the female slave who responded quickly escaped from the centre attack as her naked body fell into a pile of sand.

Despite seeing that his fist was about to hit him, Yue Yang remained seated in a very calm manner on the back of the chair.

It was as if he couldn’t see anyone attacking him at all.

Xiao Wen Li flashed out.

Her beautiful big eyes glared at the man.

The heavy punch that was just a metre away from hitting Yue Yang’s head, together with the entire body of the middle-aged man, instantly stagnated in mid-air.

The strange man with a voice like a night owl and a shape like a bat saw this scene and was stunned; he couldn’t believe his eyes. He was very aware of the strength of his companions. Even if he possessed the Hand of Manipulation, he wasn’t stronger than the middle-aged man. However, despite his powerful companion taking aim with his entire power, the opponent was able to freeze his movements with just her eyes?

This kind of talent was too scary, right? Could it be that this little snake loli is… Damn it, she’s not a normal snake demon; she was a Divine Beast!

The strange man who found out that the other party had a Divine Beast was so frightened that he immediately wanted to run away.

What a joke!

No amount of lives were enough to fight against a Divine Beast!

The man with the voice of a night owl and the shape of a bat turned around. He prepared to increase his speed with all his strength to escape from the Red Wolf Forest.

However, behind him, an Ice Serpent Demon was already holding onto a war blade and glaring at him coldly. The strange man in the shape of a bat turned around again, trying to escape from the sides. But when he did so, he realised that there was another Thunderbolt Naga on this side. He looked around and found himself surrounded as the Stone Element Medusa and the Storm Mermaid enclosed him from the other two sides as well.

These powerful creatures had arrived unknowingly— so quickly and silently that even the manipulator of the area was unaware of their arrival.

He was going to die if he didn’t try to escape!

The strange man in the shape of a bat seemed to know what would happen next.

If four of such powerful beings were to strike together, even if he was lucky enough to survive, he would definitely fall to the ground with serious injuries.

Escape— he must escape from here as soon as possible. The strange man in the shape of a bat, with all his strength, soared into the sky desperately. Trying to rush out of the encirclement, he wanted to escape to a safe place thousands of miles away from where he was. In order to survive, he didn’t care about anything. As for his companion, he opted to let the guy die there and then. If it wasn’t for his companion who angered the strong with his wild and boastful words, he wouldn’t have been dragged into this pile of mess either!

Boom!

In the skies above, a barrel-thick flash of thunderbolt exploded, striking the top of the strange man’s head directly.

The strange male who was charred black fell like a meteor and smashed to the ground.

The terrifying thunderbolt, in addition to the bombarding force that almost smashed his head, caused him to be blackened into a shade of coal as he twitched furiously from the electric shock and the concussion.

“Ahhh…” The strange man in the shape of a bat was barely able to move a finger, but a light breeze like the strength of a faint breath, blew silently by his side. The seemingly invisible rope was thrown from the distance as it slid around the strange man’s body. Retrieving him forcefully, the blackened body of the strange man was pulled into the distance.

“Whoosh!”

A sharp arrow was pinned to the back of the creepy man’s wriggling hand without any mistake; this was the masterpiece of the Stone Element Medusa.

His hand instantly turned grey and was petrified.

Simultaneously, the effect spread rapidly, extending up his arms and elbows.

On the other hand, the Hand of Manipulation, which no one had seen before, was revealed. The power of petrification did not only turn the strange man’s hand into stone, it also revealed his abilities.

Five thin ‘lines’ appeared on the strange man’s hands, extending to the distant forest.

These originally intangible existences become a stone thread under the prowess of the Stone Element Medusa’s petrification ability!

As for the middle-aged man who attacked Yue Yang, he was still stagnant in the air, unable to move at all! Red Sky River, who had a Divine Body, could only restrain Xiao Wen Li for a mere second. Hence, wanting to win against some nobody City Lord with a Divine Beast of restraining abilities was simply easier than eating beans! If she wanted to, she could freeze him for two or three hours. Student Yue Yang ignored the guy above his head, but criticised the weird man who wanted to run away with a bit of anger, “You disappoint me too much. You- how can you behave like this? If you want to run away, just say so, how can you run away secretly?”

When everyone heard it, they sweated profusely.

Unless they were supposed to exclaim to the world and say, “Hey, pay attention guys, I’m going to run away!”

The strange man in the shape of a bat was already desperate, but now he felt a little bit of vitality surging within his veins. Could it be that the other party wanted to release him?

Yue Yang’s expression was very serious and he raised a finger in a serious manner, “Actually, if you want to run away, it is not forbidden. On the contrary, I encourage running away! Let’s play the game just now! Feng Ji, you can do the honours. Count to 100 and be careful, don’t miss a number; you must count standardly. If you can escape my sight by the time he counts to 100, you can be free!”

He instructed Feng Ji to count forward and snapped his fingers.

It turned out that the middle-aged man, whose body was still in the air, slammed onto the ground with the snap of his fingers. The shocking force almost destroyed a large area of the surrounding forest.

However, no one was shocked by the terrifying power wrought by the middle-aged man.

Everyone was beginning to understand what the two demons, the strange man and the middle-aged man, would face next. They were going to face a more terrifying punishment. A strong man who liked to give an eye for an eye was preparing to carry out a heart-warming punishment! The game that was originally proposed by the enemy was backfiring them as it also brought on bouts of humiliation that their words were used against themselves.

“Boss, I’m counting? Can I?” Feng Ji was a little excited, but also slightly uneasy. What should he do if he messed up?

“If you can’t, I’ll fire you!” Yue Yang always forbade his subordinates to say no.

“Don’t, I’ll just count okay? I’m really going to start…” He raised his head to look at Princess Qian Qian as he had already realised that this Mistress had the right to speak. The Master Titan truly favoured her as other wives of Innate powerhouses would never be able to do so.

“What a lot of nonsense!” Although Princess Qian Qian often fought with Yue Yang in private, she never allowed anyone to question him outside.

“Run away. If you don’t run away, you will die. If you don’t want your teeth and a piece of skin to become my collection, then start running away now! This merciful Young Master is giving you this opportunity! I forgot to tell you, I very much agree with what you said just now. Poor bastards, ravaging you would be the greatest joy of this Young Master. Seeing you weak and tortured to death at my feet makes me feel very fulfilled. You will never understand, but this kind of achievement was unique only to the strong. What is the meaning of ‘strong’, you might ask? They are the ones who can control the fate of others at will!”

Yue Yang retorted the middle-aged man’s words without reservation.

This kind of metaphorical slap in the face was more uncomfortable than death!

The problem was that the middle-aged and the weird man have no possibilities to refute Yue Yang.

Just like the gap between the starved and the duo, although their strengths were of the Heaven Rank, compared to Yue Yang, they were also powerless to resist. No matter what Yue Yang wanted to do to them, they could only wait for their deaths.

“…” The strange man knelt down weakly on the ground while the middle-aged man, whose face was full of ashes, started trembling all over. Now, they began to feel the despair of the hungry people just now and began to understand the fear in the hearts of the ‘ants’ they killed before. They realised how pitiful it was to be abandoned by fate. If they could turn back, they would definitely not chase these fugitives, nor would they even happily kill those poor worms who were crawling under their feet begging for mercy! If they could turn back time, they would regret everything they have done today and everything before. However, there was no possibility of a re-do in this world!

“Cough, cough!” The middle-aged man’s heart, which was originally elated, suddenly filled with fear as he vomited.

“I’m counting; I’m really counting, 1, 2, 3…” Feng Zhi was afraid that Yue Yang, the boss, would be angry, so he quickly counted.

No joke, he was still a temporary guard after all. If he didn’t do well, would there be good rewards to have later on?

Besides, it’s not wrong to punish and hurt these two notorious guys!

The wicked need the wicked to beat them senseless!

The moment these two guys met the villain, Master Titan, this was what they deserved. He guessed that they have probably sinned too many times and cursed many innocent lives, so the retribution was nowserved!

The trembling strangeman suddenly raised his hand to his neck— he wanted to commit suicide!

A few leaves instantly turned into blades.

But the moment when it touched his neck, Yue Yang snapped his fingers. Those blade-like leaves burned and turned into a light whiff of smoke, disappearing without a trace. The strange man’s skin was as perfect as ever; not even a trace of a scar was seen.

He wanted to die, but the decision was no longer in his hands.

“Do you think you can commit suicide without my consent? Do you think my name ‘Master Titan’ is all for nothing? This Master’s Titan Hand can not only manipulate the life of the enemy, but also the death of the enemy!” Student Yue Yang crossed his waist with great arrogance, just like doing akimbo training, as he proudly returned all the strange man’s words.

A figurative slap being able to damage one to this extent was absolutely effective.

Of course, this was just the beginning. If Yue Yang could make the enemy vomit, he would never relent until the enemy cries out of agony!
