"Li Changzhou!" a middle-aged man in charge of the Saint Master growled, "Just because you have cooperated with the Special Warfare Bureau and learned the S-Level Visualization, doesn't mean you can throw your weight around and lose your temper here! You killed someone, and the Saint Master making you bow and apologize is already the height of generosity. What more do you want?"
"The height of generosity? What more do I want?" Li Changzhou sneered.
"Zhang Ligong!" Zheng Qing stepped forward, blocking Li Changzhou, glaring at the middle-aged man, "The Saint Master's people attacked Changzhou first, it's not our place to apologize. What generosity are you talking about?!"
"Us? Zheng Qing, are you his person, or are you with the Special Warfare Bureau?" Zhang Ligong crossed his arms, mocking, "I remember now, he saved you before, so you plan to favor him?"
"Favor? I—"
"Enough." Li Changzhou interrupted Zheng Qing, "Captain Zheng, I already know the stance of the Special Warfare Bureau, and won't hold this against you."
"Stop the damn nonsense!" the wild woman, like slinging a glass, swung her hand down, "You're going to act tough, right? You want to fight? Go on, don't let us look down on you."
Gently waving his hand, the Saint Master signaled a waiter hiding in the corner, who, trembling, came over carrying a tray of drinks.
He pointed at Li Qianxia and Yang Qinglan, "Give this to them, let them toast me."
The waiter looked at Li Changzhou, swallowed hard with quick breaths, his hands starting to shake, the glasses on the tray clinking uncontrollably.
Li Changzhou watched the Saint Master coldly.
The waiter tried to step forward, his legs weak, glasses tinkling crashing to the ground, smashing into pieces, glass shards scattering everywhere.
Countless players' hearts stopped in fright.
"Get out! It's going to start a fight!"
"Let them fight, what's there to be afraid of?"
"Didn't you hear? One is a Saint Master, with S-Level Instinct, the other has learned S-Level Visualization! If they start fighting, staying here is like waiting to die!"
Many animal players screamed as they ran away.
The bystanders, to maintain their dignity, exited the hall at the fastest speed possible.
Those that could fly, with wings, hurried to the hall's terrace and soared into the sky to escape.
The waiter picked up two pieces of glass and, driven by the tense atmosphere, finally lost control and fled.
"Too scared to fight?" the Saint Master looked at Li Changzhou, "I know you've cultivated S-Level Visualization, and your strength is not bad, but this is reality. No matter how strong you are, you must be reasonable."
He thrust his hands in his pockets: "Apologize."
Bang!
The void broke, and a towering Black Death God dived down, its shroud fluttering without wind, the White Bone Scythe's blade gathered a glint of chilling light, swiping cold winds toward the six people around the Saint Master.
Whoosh!
The Black Death God was sucked in!
A head appeared out of nowhere, with sword-like antlers, half of its face covered by hair, silently roaring as it opened its mouth and slowly sucked in the Black Death God.
Taotie from the "Scripture of Mountains and Seas!"
"Heaven has Six Paths; I command the Hungry Ghost; the desire of the Hungry Ghost, devours heaven and earth." The lady in 18-century French court attire, lifting her skirt, introduced herself with a curtsy.
"Zhang Ligong, Zheng Qing, you see, this kid started it, not me refusing to give face to the Special Warfare Bureau!" the Saint Master burst out laughing.
"Li Changzhou, stop now!" Zhang Ligong scolded.
Li Changzhou struck out with his palm, unleashing 196 points of "Ability" in one explosive burst, the air instantly compacted, a tidal wave sweeping through Hungry Ghost Path.
Tables and chairs shattered and flew, glass debris shot out like bullets.
The chandelier overhead collapsed onto the ceiling, lasted for a third of a second, then was ripped from the wall, swept by the giant air wave towards Hungry Ghost Path.
Zhang Ligong, standing outside the range of the attack, was still blown away, thudding against the wall, pinned there by the blast, unable to move.
His heart pounded violently, his chest tight and suffocating.
In the tumultuous storm-like assault, he heard Li Changzhou's voice.
"Stop? I, Li Changzhou, have No Taboos!"
"No Taboos? You think you're 'the master'?" Hungry Ghost Path asked with a laugh, still maintaining a ladylike demeanor.
The solidified air, the tables, the chandelier, the glass debris... all were swallowed by the Taotie.
"Come on in!" Hungry Ghost Path commanded, and the suction from the Taotie's mouth instantly increased tenfold.
Boom!
All streams returned to the sea, everything flew into the Taotie's mouth.
Li Changzhou and the others' clothes, under the influence of the suction, clung tightly to their backs, Turquoise Pool's white hair dancing in the air.
Zheng Qing's feet shifted, unable to resist the suction any longer.
Li Changzhou reached into the void, and with a chant resembling that of the Giant Kun, a vortex with a diameter of ten meters appeared above the hall.
Enormous power from the [Giant Kun] was aimed at the six people around the Saint Master.
"Evil Ghost!"
Taotie's head turned, focusing on the vortex in the air.
The air between them was instantly vacuumed away, Taotie and the vortex locked together like magnets, neither yielding an inch.
With Taotie's suction gone, Zheng Qing recovered and shouted, "Saint Master, do you want to kill me too?"
"As long as she survives, that's fine." the Saint Master replied coldly.
"Get lost!" the wild woman took two steps forward.
With a sweep of her hand, Zheng Qing, with no chance to resist, was thrown into a corner like trash.
The wild woman leaped forward, throwing a punch.
"Roar!" "Woof!" "Moo!"
Behind her, dozens of chains spread out, each chaining a beast.
A nine-meter tall bull, a lion engulfed in flames, a tiger commanding evil ghosts, an elephant with a trunk tens of meters long...
All the strength of these animal players, channeled through the chains into the 'Beast Path.'
This punch, stirring the howling winds, could demolish the building!
Li Changzhou stepped forward lightly, raising his hand to deliver a punch.
