Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1013: Moments Before the Ceremony Begins

Back to Zheng-Fu's group...

After Zheng-Fu had killed a large group of great skilled monster masters, he did not stop there. He told Lu-Qun to continue to put pressure on the other side. His actions made the middle-aged Half-Human Sea Monster both angry and frightened at the same time. Because even he could not kill such a high-level skilled master in the blink of an eye. He was very hesitant about what he should do next.

"Leader, sir! What should we do next?" one of the subordinates near him asked with an extremely worried expression.

"There are more than fifty of us left. I don't believe they still have any more trump cards. Everyone follows behind me. I'll lead the battle myself!" And finally, the middle-aged Half-Human Sea Monster, the group leader, made a decision. He would absolutely not allow himself to lose face and run away. He believed that Zheng-Fu's group had run out of tricks. So, he thought of leading his group himself to boost the morale of his subordinates.

"Yes, sir, Leader!"

"We'll follow Leader!"

Yaaaaaa!

Although the group of Half-Human Sea Monsters had just been disheartened by the loss of so many great skilled masters, they were able to regain their morale with the words of their leader. They ran after him with weapons in hand.

"Le-Fu, they've come again." Boon-Leng could barely stand now. Because this was the first time he had encountered a life-threatening event like this. He was very worried when he saw the other party charge in again, led by a middle-aged Half-Human Sea Monster.

"Don't worry, the fish has eaten the bait!" But Zheng-Fu was not worried at all. He was still smiling casually. He planned to lure the group leader out, so he could defeat them all at once.

[Traceless Sword Skill]

Shwink! Shwink! Shwink!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Hah!?

Everyone quickly dodged!

After the middle-aged Half-Human Sea Monster ran ahead for a while, he felt an invisible low pressure appear in front of him. And with his sharp fighting instincts, he could sense that this was not good for them. So, he ordered his subordinates to escape from there. Including him, who quickly jumped to the side.

Ah!?

Slash! Slash! Slash!

Aaaaah!!! Aaaaah!!!

However, his subordinates did not have the same quick reactions as himself. As the middle-aged man ordered everyone to retreat, Zheng-Fu's Traceless Blade energy wave had already reached them and killed those on the front line. Only the people behind were able to dodge in time.

Damn it!

"If you're really good, come out and fight one-on-one! Like this, you still dare to call yourself warriors?" The group leader became even more enraged when he saw that dozens more people had been killed and dozens more were injured. He bounced himself back onto his feet before shouting insults and calling for the person who had done it to come out and fight one-on-one.

"Is this not your way? With your previous actions, do you still dare to speak of honor and dignity? You deserve it!" Lu-Qun said as Zheng-Fu said. His tone was very serious and emotional, reflecting that of Zheng-Fu's words. It was as if he felt anger towards the middle-aged Half-Human Sea Monster and really wanted to vent it.

Lu-Qun!?

You... You!

Half-Human Sea Monster knew that what Lu-Qun said was completely true. But he did not want to accept those terrible actions. And to avoid Lu-Qun's criticism, he could think of nothing else but to kill everyone in Zheng-Fu's group. Because only the winner was right.

"Today, if it's not me, it would be you guys who would die!"

[Deep Sea Qi Wave Killing Sword Skill]

Yaaaaak!!!

Huh!

"You're really stupid and energy crazy. Even though you knew you couldn't fight, you still stubbornly led yourself to fall to your death. Sigh! But when you want it like that, I'll arrange it for you!" This time, it was not Lu-Qun who spoke but Zheng-Fu himself. Only his group and the middle-aged Half-Human Sea Monster could hear.

Hah!?

[Traceless Sword Skill]

Shwink!

Flap!

Augh!

Thud!

With just one attack, the Half-Human Sea Monster was defeated. But Zheng-Fu did not cause him to die immediately. Because he wanted Half-Human Sea Monster to see his surroundings before he died.

"It's... it's... you who's behind this whole thing... Augh!"

Thump!

Leader!

But before Half-Human Sea Monster could finish his sentence, his life energy ran out as his head dislodged from his body and rolled across the ground. His death caused the rest of the great skilled masters in his group to unconsciously take several steps back because losing a group leader was like a ship without a captain to steer it. The ship would soon be wrecked.

"We... we... we won!?" Boon-Leng could not believe his eyes that they could defeat such a large group of great skilled masters. Plus, the other party also had a Half-deity stage as a group leader.

"Ye... yes, we won! We won!" Qiu-Zhen also could not believe it. He tried to stay calm and not think too much. But no matter how hard he tried, he could not do it. His body was shaking so much that his legs could barely move at this time.

"Stop caring about that. Now we have the space we need. Hurry to get there before the other groups come!" Zheng-Fu knew what everyone was thinking. But they could not wait, so he told everyone to walk towards the area where that middle-aged Half-Human Sea Monster's group had been, to occupy it as an overnight stay and absorb the energy stream. Before another group came in. And they would have to fight again.

Umm!

After Zheng-Fu's group defeated the Half-Human Sea Monster's group, the rest of the group scattered and fled. At the same time, many small groups that had grudges against that group also made some moves. They took this opportunity to take revenge for what they had done to them before.

Sigh!

"This is what we call karma, right?" Guo-Dong looked at the chaos that had occurred and let out a long, sad sigh.

"It's not called karma. It's called revenge to vent one's emotions." Zheng-Fu turned and smiled at Guo-Dong before speaking in a teasing and joking manner.

Hmmmm!

"Le-Fu, this area really has a very dense energy stream, just like you said. If we can absorb it all day until the ceremony starts, our energy level should increase quite a bit!" Xi-Dian also felt sad. But she soon stopped feeling sad when she considered that it was the other party who had started it first. Instead, she turned her attention to the energy stream surrounding this area.

"Yes! With this much energy stream, I can easily level up to the eighth level of the Deity Soul stage!" Qiu-Zhen nodded in agreement. Because he was close to being promoted.

"Then, everyone, don't waste your time. Make the most of your time. I'll be your guard while you absorb energy!" Zheng-Fu said. However, his true plan, which he did not tell them, was that he would use the time while everyone was absorbing energy to cast some spell on this Holy Courtyard.

Umm!

After Zheng-Fu's group came to seize the area, some small groups came up with the idea of descending near Zheng-Fu's group. Because they thought that Zheng-Fu would not do anything to them. And of course, they were right. Zheng-Fu let those people in without doing anything. But the more time passed, the number of groups that descended increased. Until the area was crowded with many great skilled masters.

But even so, the energy stream in the area where Zheng-Fu's group was located had not weakened at all. Instead, it kept increasing until it was shocking. And that was because of the spell that Zheng-Fu had cast. It was a spell that could pull the surrounding energy stream and concentrate it at one point. This meant that everyone nearby would receive nothing but a place to meditate.

Four hours passed...

"What happened!? Why has the energy stream decreased so quickly? Or is it because there are too many people?"

"That's right! I can also feel that I absorb less energy from the energy stream!"

"It must be because of those small groups. If they stay like this, we won't receive any benefit. Leader, what should we do?"

"As for this matter, I think the other group leaders would think as well. You guys sent people to tell the other group leaders that I wanted to hold a meeting. If any group agrees, let them meet here!" The young man who was the group leader said after he had thought for a moment.

"Yes, sir, Leader!"

After that, various large groups immediately accepted the young man's invitation. All the group leaders gathered to discuss a solution. Soon, the group leaders concluded. Everyone agreed that the small groups should be expelled, except for Zheng-Fu's group. Then they did not delay and immediately did as agreed upon.

Huh!?

"It seems like it has already started?" Zheng-Fu was not meditating to absorb the energy, so he was aware of the movements of everyone around him. And he had already thought that something like this would happen after he cast the spell to gather energy streams to his location.

Five minutes later...

Hey!

"You scum! If you don't want to die, hurriedly leave the Holy Courtyard area!"

"We never did anything to you guys. Why must you do this to us!?"

"No need for me to answer. Are you going to leave or not!?"

Everyone, deal with them!

Yeah!

Not long after Zheng-Fu finished speaking, several small groups began to be driven out of the Holy Courtyard by larger groups. Many groups refused, and fights broke out. But the number of people was too far apart. Those small groups, therefore, had only one way to face: defeat and having to retreat to the outside as before.

Tens of lis away from the Holy Courtyard…

Huh!

"You idiots! You guys are really silly and are idiots. They don't realize that the energy stream disappeared not because there are too many people in the Holy Courtyard. But it's because someone is playing a trick on the energy stream!" A large middle-aged man sitting on a rock said after he looked at what was happening in the Holy Courtyard.

"It's a normal thing that usually happens. Even though they don't know where the energy streams have gone or who caused it to disappear, they chose to expel the small groups anyway. There are two reasons for this: First, they think they are more important than others. And second, to show their power to others," A middle-aged woman under a black robe added in an indifferent tone. Because to her, everyone in the Holy Courtyard was worthless.

"If it weren't for you all being at the Deity stage, wouldn't you guys also do the same thing?" An elder suddenly spoke up. Because if the energy stream in the Holy Courtyard was beneficial to them, they would have joined in that courtyard.

"That's right!"

"By the way, everyone has gathered together, right? The ceremony is about to begin. Is there anyone who hasn't come yet?" Then, a strong-looking middle-aged man asked about the person according to the appointment.

"There's another one who hasn't come yet. But I think that one will probably come when it's almost time for the ceremony to start. Because that crazy person is always like that!"

"That crazy person!? Or is it..."

Umm!

"Yes! That crazy person."
