Chapter 395: Chapter 383 Do You Want to Kill Us Along with Them? (Asking for Subscriptions)
At the Awakened Association hall, there was a dead silence. Everyone was waiting for Li Ping to return. On the other side, the Martial Arts Association hall was just as frighteningly quiet.
The two groups stared at each other, the atmosphere tense like a powder keg that could be ignited with just a spark.
"Is this our Jiangnan Sub-district Martial Arts Association President? He’s so cool!"
"I’ve only seen him on screen before, never thought I’d see him in person today!"
"The President’s aura is so powerful! No wonder he’s the President!"
The eyes of numerous Martial Artists sparkled like stars.
However, quite a few maintained their clarity, glancing at Shi Tao and then at Xiang Long and others opposite, licking their lips.
On the President’s side, there was only one person.
On the other side, there were six people! They are likely Awakeners!
If a fight breaks out, can the President stand against them?
"So, you’re Shi Tao."
After a brief silence, Xiang Long spoke, his expression unchanged even with Shi Tao’s arrival.
"That’s me."
Shi Tao stretched his hand towards the distant corpse lying in a pool of blood, his voice booming, "Who killed this person?"
Several Awakeners glanced at one another, showing contempt on their faces.
Of course, they were also somewhat guilty.
After all, they hadn’t anticipated running into the soul of Jiangnan Sub-district Martial Arts Association upon arrival.
The Martial Artists looked at each other with a desire to speak but lacking the courage.
"President, it was him!"
Sun Wei pointed at Song Fu with raw hatred in his eyes.
If not for the President arriving in time, he and Xu Jie might already be corpses.
"You killed him?"
Shi Tao locked his gaze on Song Fu.
The latter flinched, then sneered, holding his head high, "Yes, I did! So what? Not satisfied?"
Who cares if it’s the President of Jiangnan Sub-district Martial Arts Association?
Isn’t he just a True Essence Realm Martial Artist?
If it’s a one-on-one, who knows who would win?
Besides, we have six people here! The City Lord is also here.
"Good, as long as you admit."
However, Shi Tao didn’t show the anger many expected. Instead, he nodded, "Debt must be repaid, killing must be compensated, it’s a heavenly principle. You have no objections, don’t you?"
With this statement, even Xiang Long was stunned.
This guy, is he really going to confront us here for an ordinary Martial Artist?
Martial Artists were invigorated, cheering loudly.
"You want to kill me? Just you?"
Song Fu widened his eyes, as though hearing something impossible.
"Just me."
Shi Tao spoke calmly, like stating a fact.
"Hahaha! HAHAHAHAHA!"
As his words fell, the hall erupted in laughter.
It wasn’t just Song Fu laughing.
He laughed the hardest, tears streaming down his face.
"Shi, I know you’re the President of Jiangnan Sub-district Martial Arts Association, but are you overestimating yourself trying to kill me to win favor? Do you know who I am?"
Shi Tao shook his head.
Yet, he was curious—who are these people? Why are they causing trouble here? Could it be related to Chen Fan?
"I’m from Jiulong City! B-level Awakener! Song Fu!" Song Fu glared at Shi Tao, enunciating each word.
"What, Jiulong City!"
"B-level Awakener!"
"He’s a B-level Awakener!"
Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces showed terror.
In their minds, the Awakeners in Anshan City were just C-level, yet even they oppressed them relentlessly.
What kind of existence is a B-level Awakener?
Everyone’s gaze fell on Song Fu then shifted to those beside him.
The same thought rose in their minds.
Could all these people be B-level Awakeners?
If that’s the case, not only they present, even the President who just arrived would be in danger!
Sun Wei, Xu Jie, and the others felt their hearts sink.
Feeling told them, these people might all be B-level Awakeners!
"So, all of you are from Jiulong City?" Shi Tao’s face was as calm as a deep well, showing no emotions.
"Yes, we are all from Jiulong City, all B-level Awakeners. This is our City Lord."
In an instant, all eyes turned to Xiang Long.
The Martial Artists were terrified.
These people aren’t just B-level Awakeners!
Even the Jiulong City Lord came!!!
What’s going on? Why would so many strong people come to a mere Anshan City Martial Arts Association?
"Jiulong City Lord, Xiang Long?"
Shi Tao looked over and asked.
"That’s me."
Xiang Long looked at Shi Tao, smirking insincerely, "Chairman Shi, I just heard you want to attack my subordinates, right?"
When they heard this, Song Fu and his companions showed arrogant expressions.
As if saying, Chairman Shi, if you’re a man, repeat your words again?
Earlier, the cheering Martial Artists now realized the seriousness of the matter and silently sweated for Shi Tao.
"You heard correctly."
Unexpectedly, Shi Tao directly admitted, "He killed a member of my Martial Arts Association. One death for one life, very reasonable."
"You!"
Song Fu was enraged.
Martial Artists, so what?
Are they different from ordinary people?
His life cannot be exchanged for a Martial Artist’s life!
"Shut up!"
Suddenly, Xiang Long roared.
Song Fu flinched, shrinking his neck.
His expression turned sullen.
Xiang Long glanced at him then turned to Shi Tao, "Chairman Shi, Song Fu did kill that person, but I ordered him to do it. So, you can say he died by my hands,
If according to what you said, debt must be repaid, killing must be compensated, then you must kill me as well?"
"Haha, the City Lord is right, we all participated in killing that ant!"
"Yes, we all made a move, Chairman Shi, will you kill us all?"
The few laughed arrogantly.
Upon seeing this, Martial Artists gritted their teeth in resentment.
Clearly, the one who killed was the one in white, but they took the blame unto themselves.
Thus,
If the Chairman wanted to act, they could justify bullying with numbers.
So shameless!
"Why not."
Shi Tao’s voice rang out, surprising everyone again.
Song Fu and his companions’ smiles froze.
Even Xiang Long showed a moment’s surprise before anger rose in his heart, "Shi Tao, do you know what you’re saying?"
"Of course, I do."
Shi Tao stood with hands behind, firmly, "This is Jiangnan Sub-district Martial Arts Association’s territory. Since its creation, no Awakener has ever intruded to kill a Martial Artist until today.
His gaze icy, "If I let you go today, I can’t deter others or prevent this from happening again. I must also account to my brothers and sisters. As President, failing to ensure their safety means I have no right to be their leader."
With those words, many Martial Artists were moved to tears, their mouths agape, speechless.
Behind him, Sun Wei felt touched, realizing that the President wasn’t only protective of his own disciples but outsiders as well.
"Good, good, good! Excellent!"
Xiang Long laughed furiously, saying "good" three times.
"Shi Tao, earlier I showed respect calling you Chairman Shi. Without respect, what are you?"
"Right, City Lord, if he doesn’t respect us, we don’t need to be courteous."
"Does he think he can defeat all of us alone?"
"What a joke! I can kill him alone!" Song Fu gritted his teeth.
"Yes, we originally didn’t plan to cause trouble, but Shi Tao pushed us. If so, let’s kill him and everyone here!"
"Agreed!"
They sneered.
The Awakened Association and Martial Arts Association have always had a strained relationship.
If this gets out, they won’t be punished, might even be praised secretly.
As for Martial Arts Association?
Haha, if the Jiangnan Sub-district Martial Arts Association President falls to them, the rest are powerless.
The Martial Artists turned pale, speechless.
The President’s actions were deeply moving.
But, is this too reckless?
There are six Awakeners! Six B-level Awakeners! And the leader is the City Lord!
If they fight, even a little battle residual could kill them multiple times.
As for the President, perhaps...
"Good, seems you’re prepared. Let’s begin."
Shi Tao waved his arm.
A golden light enveloped him and Xiang Long’s group.
In the next moment, all seven people disappeared as if they evaporated.
A curious item, resembling a mini pyramid, hovered above, only two or three centimeters in size.
On a grassy field, Shi Tao looked at the bewildered Xiang Long and companions, explaining, "This is a treasure I accidentally acquired, called the Yellow Sand Tower. Preserved through time, it serves as storage space.
But unlike normal storage spaces, it holds living beings too, even people with my permission, for short stays. The space here spans 10 miles in range with unknown height. You’ll be forcibly ejected after 24 hours or by killing me and seizing the treasure.
I give you one minute. After that, I’ll fully engage, or you can attack now and I’ll assume you understand, also engaging fully."
