War God Long Ao

With a City Guard for a backer, the two of them were afraid of nothing.

In the City of Sin, the City Guards held the most power, second only to the Five Great Emperors.

Who in the City of Sin would dare provoke a City Guard?

Yu Wenhui didn't take Long Ao seriously in the slightest. There had been many cases like this before. Outsiders were never cooperative; a few beatings or just killing them was all it took to make them fall in line.

Yu Wenhui smiled and said, "Long Ao, this residence is mine. Not bad, is it?"

Long Ao had already figured it out, but he replied in a cool, indifferent voice, "So what if it's yours? All I know is that I spent thirty-five thousand Beast Pills to buy this place. If you want it back, fine. One hundred thousand Beast Pills, and I'll return it to you."

"Long Ao, you're fucking courting death."

"You dare try to swindle our boss? You must have a death wish!"

Ignoring the two of them completely, Long Ao said without a hint of panic, "As I've said, this residence is now mine. I spent a total of thirty-five thousand Beast Pills on it. Even if you are a City Guard, you don't have the authority to take it, do you?"

Long Ao's guess was correct; Yu Wenhui indeed had no such authority.

Yu Wenhui had used the house as bait to lure Long Ao here, planning to teach him a harsh lesson. As for the house itself, would his target really dare to keep it?

'But this world really is full of fools who don't know what's good for them. He wants to just take my house?'

A sinister smile crossed Yu Wenhui's face. "Long Ao, I have to admit, you're truly arrogant. But to be arrogant, you need the power to back it up. Let me make one thing clear: in the City of Sin, a Celestial Venerable is less than nothing. If I want to kill you, it would take me minutes. Do you believe that?"

"I don't."

Hearing Long Ao's response, Yu Wenhui was stunned for a moment, then threw his head back and roared with laughter, as if he had just heard the most ridiculous thing in the world.

Suddenly, Yu Wenhui's expression turned icy cold. "Long Ao, if I kill you, do you think you'll still be able to own this place?"

"Idiot."

No longer bothering with the three of them, Long Ao's voice was laced with Killing Intent. "If you want to fight, then let's fight. Enough with the pointless chatter. You chose this place because you didn't want any witnesses. Fine. I'll grant you that."

Long Ao's words stunned the three men. They never imagined that even in this situation, he would remain so defiant. The man was simply courting death.

"Since you're courting death, I'll oblige you. You two, get him."

The more confident Long Ao acted, the more uncertain Yu Wenhui felt. After all, anyone who dared to enter the City of Sin alone had to have some sort of backing.

That was exactly why Yu Wenhui had his two men attack first—to probe their opponent's true strength.

'Us?'

When they heard their boss tell them to go, the two men's faces filled with terror. SMACK! SMACK! Two slaps sent them flying, and they rolled a good distance before finally coming to a stop.

"Useless fools."

Yu Wenhui glared fixedly at the young man before him and suddenly made his move. But at that very moment, a terrifying Heaven and Earth's Momentum erupted from Long Ao, followed by the sound of a Dragon's Roar.

'Heaven and Earth's Momentum?'

'A Dragon's Roar?'

Feeling the Heaven and Earth's Momentum and hearing the Dragon's Roar, Yu Wenhui was completely stupefied. He had no idea where a Nirvana Rebirth expert or a Giant Dragon had suddenly come from. At that moment, Long Ao seized the golden opportunity and lunged forward.

Before Long Ao even reached him, his Soul Attack had already viciously pierced into his opponent's mind.

"Ah! You're so shameless!"

Under normal circumstances, it would have been impossible for Long Ao's Soul Attack to hit its mark. But he had used a feint, employing the Heaven and Earth's Momentum and the Dragon's Roar to completely capture Yu Wenhui's attention.

With Yu Wenhui's attention fully fixed on the Heaven and Earth's Momentum and the Dragon's Roar, Long Ao's instantaneous Soul Attack was practically guaranteed to hit.

His soul severely wounded, Yu Wenhui knew exactly what had happened. He was well aware that in a fair fight, his opponent would be no match for him. But regardless, he had been careless. He had no one to blame but himself.

Without a moment's hesitation, Yu Wenhui turned to flee. But would Long Ao allow that?

Fail to cut the weeds by the root, and they will grow again in the spring.

Long Ao knew full well that he was in the City of Sin. If he let this man escape, he would just come back with more Great Venerable City Guards, and that would mean huge trouble for him.

'The Five Great Emperors are not yet aware of my existence. This is the perfect time for me to develop my own power base. By the time the Five Great Emperors discover me, I will already have the strength to contend with them.'

'Ultimately, this man absolutely could not be allowed to live.'

At this thought, Long Ao unleashed his Heaven and Earth's Momentum while simultaneously pulling out the Godslaying Mirror and the God-Locking Pearl. Two strange powers surged forth, instantly enveloping Yu Wenhui.

'What in the world is happening?'

At this moment, with his soul severely wounded, the lockdown that should have lasted only three seconds held Yu Wenhui for a full five. Furthermore, Time Reversal rewound his movement by three seconds, slowing him down for a full three seconds.

Yu Wenhui's speed was reduced by three seconds, while Long Ao's was increased by three. What did that mean in a fight to the death?

"Long Ao, you—"

Without giving Yu Wenhui any chance to finish, Long Ao's fists smashed down viciously, landing squarely on the crown of Yu Wenhui's head. He died instantly, the outcome never in doubt.

Seeing their leader killed by a single punch, the two men were frozen in terror, their bodies trembling uncontrollably as if they were looking at a demon.

The two of them never would have imagined that Long Ao could kill their leader with a single punch. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would have never believed it.

'But their leader was a genuine City Guard, a Great Venerable! How could he have been beaten to death just like that?'

"Long Ao, you dared to kill our leader! Aren't you afraid to die?"

Giving the two a cold look, Long Ao despised their kind. He couldn't be bothered to waste another word on them. He simply released his Momentum and crushed them to death on the spot.

The three of them had come looking for trouble, but they never imagined from start to finish that they would not only fail to steal the chicken but also lose the rice used to lure it. Especially Yu Wenhui, who had thought getting rid of Long Ao would be a piece of cake. And the result?

「Outside the City of Sin.」

The Old Drunkard had just left the City of Sin and was preparing to fly away. But before he could move, the figure of Gui Mei suddenly appeared behind him, patting his shoulder. "Old Drunkard, why in such a hurry?" Gui Mei said with a cold laugh. "Why not stay a while? I have something to say to you."

Hearing the voice, the Old Drunkard knew who it was without even turning his head. Perhaps it was a guilty conscience, or perhaps he had already guessed the truth. After all, the fact that Long Ao was able to come out of that situation alive meant one thing: Yu Wenhui had failed to kill him.
