Chapter 572: Chapter 571 The Sullen Person
"Divine Court? You parasites! Even if I were to kill you all, there would be no repercussions for me. Do you think the Divine Court would dare to offend me over the likes of you?"
Liu Zheng sneered, "You’d better not do anything foolish, or you will die a miserable death."
The three men’s faces shifted between light and dark upon witnessing Liu Zheng’s arrogant attitude.
However, at that moment, the black-robed man who had been silent until now suddenly spoke.
"Such big talk. Do you really think we’re that easy to provoke?"
"But, I am quite intrigued to see how you’ll deal with me later. I’m looking forward to it, to see if you can actually kill me!"
A mocking smile appeared on the black-robed man’s face.
His figure flashed, and he appeared directly in front of Liu Zheng.
He stretched out his palm and struck out towards Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng felt the formidable power of the black-robed man and his face turned pale as he quickly retreated.
But the black-robed man was faster and caught Liu Zheng’s right arm, pulling him close, then slapped his face.
Slap!
A crisp sound rang out, and Liu Zheng’s head swelled from the blow, blood trickling down his forehead.
"You little beast, kneel down and kowtow to me, and I might spare your life. Otherwise, I don’t mind personally slaughtering you," the black-robed man said coldly as he looked at Liu Zheng.
"You..."
Liu Zheng’s lips trembled, rage boiling in his face, but what could he do?
The opponent’s cultivation level was higher than his, his strength far surpassed Liu Zheng’s.
He currently had no way to shake the black-robed man, unless he used his trump card, but doing so would lead to severe backlash.
So, he could only swallow his anger.
"Liu Zheng!"
Seeing Liu Zheng at a disadvantage, the other two youngsters at the eighth rank of Heavenly Venerable moved forward to help him up.
"I’m fine," Liu Zheng shook his head.
But just then, the black-robed man laughed coldly: "Liu Zheng, are you feeling frustrated?"
"Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking; you’re just looking for a way to escape. Unfortunately, I’d anticipated that you’d have the urge to flee."
"Now, I’ll show you that there’s no escape!"
"You dare!" Liu Zheng’s face changed drastically, staring angrily at the black-robed man.
"Why wouldn’t I dare?" the black-robed man sneered. "You’ve just killed one of my subordinates, and I haven’t settled that account with you yet."
"You two, take him away and lock him up in the dungeon."
"Yes, master!"
"Wait, I don’t want to be locked in the dungeon!"
Liu Zheng’s face changed dramatically as he struggled to stand, looking at the black-robed man and said, "You can’t do this to me! My father is Liu Changkong, the young master of the number one power in the Divine King Continent, the Liu Family; you can’t treat me like this!"
"Hehehe." At these words, the black-robed man laughed derisively. "You? Worthy of being called the young master of the Liu Family? Your father Liu Changkong is but a collateral member of my Black Dragon line, not a direct descendant! I would advise you to confess honestly who sent you as a spy. If you refuse to confess, you should know that our Black Dragon clan has more enemies than just you."
"Believe it or not, my father is truly a direct descendant of your Black Dragon clan. If you don’t believe me, I can take you to see my father now; he will tell you everything," Liu Zheng said angrily.
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, the black-robed man’s eyebrows raised. "Then I must see this father of yours."
The moment Liu Zheng heard this, he immediately said, "My father is currently in seclusion at our Liu residence, and I don’t know when he will emerge. If you want to meet my father, you must get past this challenge first. If you can get through this challenge, I will immediately arrange for someone to take you to see my father."
"Then it all depends on how strong you are!" the black-robed man said indifferently.
At this, Liu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that the three people before him were not weak. If it came to a hard fight, he would undoubtedly lose.
So, he prepared to use a scheme, to stall for time until his father emerged from seclusion. Then he would reveal all the secrets of the Black Dragon clan. By then, not even the Divine Emperor could protect him.
"What are you lot still dawdling for? Get moving and attack," the black-robed man turned to look at his subordinates.
"At once,"
Several juniors of the Black Dragon clan who were at the Tian Zun eighth rank chorused in agreement and then launched towards Liu Zheng.
All three of them had achieved the sixth rank of Tian Zun, and since they were in God’s Court, they needn’t worry about being discovered by anyone.
Moreover, this was the core area of God’s Court; apart from these few peak Tian Zun guards, no one dared to cause trouble here.
If it were anyone else besides Liu Zheng, a peak Tian Zun powerhouse, they would probably have already been blasted to death.
"Hmph!"
Liu Zheng snorted angrily and immediately erupted with tremendous combat strength, clashing fiercely with the three of them.
However, Liu Zheng was after all only at the second rank of Tian Zun, and was no match for the three eighth-rank powerhouses. In just a short moment, he was forced into a continuous retreat.
Boom!
A muffled sound erupted as Liu Zheng kicked away two of the Black Dragon clan’s strong men, and at the same time, a deep fist imprint appeared on his chest.
"Spurt!"
A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out, and Liu Zheng’s face instantly paled, his breath rapidly weakening.
"Hmph, Liu Zheng, I advise you to surrender without resistance to avoid suffering," one of the Black Dragon clan’s strong men sneered.
Liu Zheng, however, clenched his teeth and said, "My father is Liu Changkong. If he finds out you’ve bullied me, he definitely won’t let it go. By then, you’ll definitely not live to see tomorrow!"
Hearing Liu Zheng’s words, the other three Black Dragon clan’s strong men all burst into loud laughter.
"Your father is Liu Changkong?" the black-robed man looked at Liu Zheng with scorn, saying, "Even if you are the son of Liu Changkong, today you are doomed to die, and nobody can save you!"
"Is that so?"
Just at that moment, an indifferent voice suddenly sounded from beside the black-robed man.
Upon hearing this, the black-robed man quickly turned to look, and his face changed drastically when he saw the speaker.
"Who are you?"
Shock flickered in the eyes of the black-robed man, who clearly recognized the identity of the speaker.
"Who I am is not important, what is important is that you must die,"
Suddenly, a middle-aged man appeared by Liu Zheng’s side, his aura soaring to the skies, his eyes filled with a cold, icy glare.
"How... how is this possible?!" The black-robed man saw this and felt a terrifying shock wave in his heart.
He could never have imagined someone would appear, and even more so, a ninth-rank Tian Zun powerhouse.
In the black-robed man’s view, how could such a figure appear within such a remote small city?
And moreover, he was here to trouble Liu Zheng which was utterly absurd.
"Who are you?" Liu Zheng was startled when he saw the middle-aged man, and immediately asked in a grave voice.
"My identity? You’re not qualified to know," the middle-aged man said indifferently.
"Then who are you?" Liu Zheng demanded coldly, "Could it be that you are also that traitor?"
"Heh, do you think I look like one?"
"Not like one? Then why are you appearing here?"
Liu Zheng furrowed his brow, clearly puzzled and unsure of the identity of the person before him.
But at that moment, he suddenly felt light as a feather; his body lost control, and he began to slowly fall towards the ground.
"How... how is this possible?!"
Liu Zheng’s eyes widened in disbelief; he had not expected the middle-aged man to be so powerfully skilled that, with just one strike, he had been wounded.
"Liu Zheng, you are now a cripple and have no right to be rampant in front of me," the middle-aged man looked at Liu Zheng and said flatly, "I’ll give you one last chance. Kneel down and kowtow a hundred times to me, and I might spare your life. Otherwise, you’ll stay here forever!"
"Hahaha... Hahaha!"
