Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1042: Nip It in the Bud

Get what?

Hah!?

Crack! Crack! Crack!

While Sen-Lao was speaking, a young man's voice interrupted him. Then a figure walked out from behind a bush that was as tall as a human.

You!

"It's you? How did you come here? And what about the others?" As soon as the middle-aged man who owned the golden needle saw the face of the young man who had walked in, he immediately knew who this young man was. The previous feeling of worry disappeared before he asked curiously.

"Yes, it's me. I came here because there was nothing inside but an empty cave. As for the others, they stayed behind. We saw that you guys were able to kill that terrifying Earth Armored Bear Monster Beast. So, we thought of coming to help you."

And this young man was Zheng-Fu. He brought everyone outside the cave after he had collected all the valuables inside it. And he did not think the three of them would survive. But when this was the case, Zheng-Fu had to stop by and talk with them.

Umm!

Crack! Crack! Crack!

And immediately, many people came out of the bush. They were the newcomers who had come to take on this mission.

"Is everyone safe? Good, then you guys..."

Ptui!

"Are you still pretending to be worried about us?!" But before the middle-aged man could finish speaking, one of the men among the newcomers spat loudly and spoke in an extremely dissatisfied tone.

Hah!?

"What happened? What's going on with you guys?!"

"You still dare to act like you don't know? You guys tricked us into being bait. If it weren't for the fact that there was no danger inside the cave, we'd probably die before we get any compensation from you. You really are a bastard!"

"That's right! Even though we have a weaker energy level, it doesn't mean we're stupid."

"You hurry to make up for us! Compensate us quickly!

"Correct! Make up for us!"

When the first person shouted an insult in displeasure, a second person followed, then a third, and so on. Everyone wanted to vent their anger. They came there because they wanted compensation for ordinary work. They did not want to come to die like this. If they knew, they would not have come.

"Shut your mouths, you damn ants and termites!"

Boooooom!!!

Augh! Aaaaaa!

At that moment, the Grandmaster leader exploded with his energy, silencing and frightening the newcomers. The energy wave that came with his voice caused the people on the front line to cough up huge mouthfuls of blood. As for the people in the back, they were slightly affected. But Zheng-Fu was not affected at all. And of course, Yun-Xiang-Kong, Men-Xiang-Du, and Yi-Lin-Qi behind him were fine as well.

Hah!

"Why are you four still able to stand still?" Grandmaster leader said with a voice full of doubt when he saw that Zheng-Fu's group was not affected by his energy blast. It was very strange that the newcomers could endure. Even though he had lost a lot of energy, there was still enough left to make the initial Deity Apprentice stage cultivators wobble.

Huhu!

But Zheng-Fu did not answer. He only smiled at the corners of his mouth and stared at the three middle-aged men.

"Who exactly are you? Aren't you a newcomer?" The owner of the golden needle suddenly said after he thought of something. Zheng-Fu had a very calm demeanor from the beginning of the journey. Even when he entered the cave and came out to talk to them, he remained calm. This kind of behavior clearly indicated that Zheng-Fu must not have been a newcomer.

"I'm definitely a newcomer. But I'm just superior to the other newcomers," Zheng-Fu replied with an evil smile. He stepped forward, targeting the Grandmaster leader who seemed to be the most exhausted of the group.

You!

Gulp!

Zheng-Fu's words probably sounded very normal and arrogant. But the heavy feeling radiating around him caused the three middle-aged men to gulp in worry at the same time. Because right now, all three of them were in rather bad physical condition.

"The three of us are all members of Cloud Valley City's big force. If you kill us, you will definitely be hunted down by our force!" The owner of the golden needle tried to threaten Zheng-Fu by using his force to make Zheng-Fu afraid and let them go.

"So, you think I don't have my force? But so be it! I don't want to cause trouble. Then let's assume that this matter never happened!" Zheng-Fu thought for a moment before he decided not to take any action now because there were too many people there. Killing those three people might bring trouble to him in the future. Therefore, Zheng-Fu had to let them go first.

"Good! You made a good decision by choosing this path!" Grandmaster leader's expression brightened when he saw that Zheng-Fu did not intend to kill them. And of course, he would never forget this humiliation.

"Zheng-Fu, are you really going to let them go?" Yun-Xiang-Kong felt uncomfortable when he saw Zheng-Fu let those people go. Because he knew that they would definitely come back for revenge once they were able to regain their energy.

"Yes! I don't want to have any problems later. So, we should forget about this!" Zheng-Fu nodded and repeated his original answer.

But...

"Let them go! If they have the fate to survive, then they will. But if not… then they won't survive!" Zheng-Fu raised his hand to stop Yun-Xiang-Kong from continuing. Because he had already prepared everything before he came here.

Umm!

"I'll believe you. Because your words are never wrong!" Yun-Xiang-Kong did not know what Zheng-Fu wanted to convey. But he trusted Zheng-Fu's decision to let the three go.

"Then let's go. I'll guide everyone back to Cloud Valley City." For his plan to be successful, Zheng-Fu volunteered to lead everyone back to the city.

The middle-aged man looked on until Zheng-Fu's group had gone. He then immediately went to support Sen-Lao to hurry out of there. "Let's go, Sen-Lao. If we continue to stay here, something unexpected might happen! Because the scent of Earth Armored Bear's blood would attract other monster beasts to come here."

Umm!

Sen-Lao nodded at his comrade before turning to look for the Grandmaster leader. But when he looked around, he found that the middle-aged man had disappeared. "So where has he gone?"

"He left earlier. Let him go. Anyway, now we have to hurry back and heal first. Once we've recovered, we can go back and take revenge on those newcomers. Especially the kid..."

Aaaaaargh!!!

Flap! Flap! Flap!

Hah!?

"That man's voice!?"

As Sen-Lao's comrade was speaking, there suddenly came a loud scream of pain and suffering not too far from them. The two of them remembered who the owner of that shout was.

"What happened? Or did he meet a monster beast?" Sen-Lao's expression instantly darkened. He believed that in a radius of two li around him, there was no sign of the monster beast at all.

"I don't know, I can't sense any monster beast around here. But I believe it was his voice!" Sen-Lao's comrade thought the same. At first, he felt much more at ease. But this incident made him feel extremely frightened and panicked.

"Let's hurry and get out of here. No matter what the creature that dealt with him was. I hope it doesn't... Oh.. how could it be you? You've already left, haven't you!?" Sen-Lao's eyes widened when he saw the person in front of him. He remembered exactly who this man was. But he did not think he would come back again.

"This must all be your plan, right? Huh! If you kill us today, the others will definitely tell my group about this matter. And then you will die miserably!"

Huhu!

The person who appeared in front of them was none other than Zheng-Fu. But it was Zheng-Fu in the body of a manipulative doll. Even though it was a manipulative doll, Zheng-Fu could control it freely as if it were a robot and he was driving it. And when he heard what Sen-Lao's comrade said, he grinned in satisfaction.

"What you see here is not the real me. I'm currently traveling back to Cloud Valley City with others. Therefore, what you said cannot be true." Zheng-Fu was not afraid that the secret that he had killed these two people would be revealed. Because no one could know. Since his real self was traveling with other people.

Hah!

"No need to say anything to him. Anyway, today we won't survive. Fight to the death against him!" Sen-Lao was the type of person who dared to take risks. Knowing that he could not escape, he did not care anymore and quickly gathered all his energy to attack Zheng-Fu's clone figure.

All right!

[Firmament Slashing Sword Skill]

[Spirit-Piercing Secret Needle Skill]

Huh!

"I really respect you guys for still having the courage to fight. But everything is useless!"

Whoosh!!!

Slash! Slash!

Augh! Au... Augh!

Within just a split second that Zheng-Fu's clone figure shot past the two's bodies, and trails of blood appeared around their throats, before the two of them spat out blood and fell to the ground, becoming bodies without souls forever.

"I don't want to kill you. But in the future, you'll bring trouble to me again. I can't accept it. Don't accuse me of being cruel!" Zheng-Fu stared at the lifeless bodies of the two of them lying on the ground, his eyes not showing any distress. He did not want to do this. But the other party would definitely bring trouble to him in the future. Therefore, he had to nip it in the bud.

After killing the two of them, Zheng-Fu proceeded to burn their bodies to destroy the evidence before his clone figure was quickly recalled back into his dimensional space.

Back to Zheng-Fu's group...

"Zheng-Fu, you look strange. Did something happen?" While traveling, Yun-Xiang-Kong asked curiously when he saw Zheng-Fu making a strange expression.

"It's nothing. I'm just thinking about what to do after this," Zheng-Fu denied that anything wrong had happened to him. He could not tell the truth about what he had done.

Umm!

"That's right! I also don't know what to do next. I just came here. And I didn't join any group because I think traveling alone would be more beneficial to me. But now I have reconsidered. I think I'm going to apply to join the force somewhere. And you!?" Yun-Xiang-Kong nodded lightly before thinking about his future. He thought he might have to find some shade to rely on.
