Chapter 573: Chapter 572 Dream on!
Liu Zheng heard the words and couldn’t help but laugh, his smile filled with thick disdain.
In his view, the middle-aged man was like a lunatic.
At such a time, he still wanted to humiliate himself? It was simply a daydream!
Moreover, this was the territory of the Divine Court. How could the people of the Divine Court appear here, especially in the core area of the Divine Court?
This middle-aged man must have wanted to take the opportunity to humiliate him, so as to pin the blame on him.
Thinking of this, Liu Zheng’s eyes revealed a thick mocking expression.
"Heh, heh!"
"You still don’t understand. I’m giving you one last chance!" The middle-aged man shook his head when he saw that Liu Zheng was still oblivious.
No sooner had his words fallen than his figure burst forward suddenly, reaching Liu Zheng in an instant, with his right palm ferociously sweeping toward Liu Zheng.
Smack!
Liu Zheng had no power to resist and was directly slapped to the ground by the middle-aged man.
Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, a trace of pain appeared on his face, and his eyes were filled with despair.
"My father is Liu Changkong. How dare you harm his only son? My father will not let you off," he said.
"Is that so? Your father is Liu Changkong? Could it be your father’s old flame? Does your father have other children?" The man in black robes asked with an amused smile upon hearing this.
Liu Zheng’s pupils shrank sharply, and his face flushed red.
"Indeed, my father has a few more children, but what does that have to do with you? By bullying my father this way, are you not afraid of retribution?" Liu Zheng glared at the man in black robes and shouted.
Upon hearing this, a look of impatience appeared on the face of the man in black robes.
"Retribution? Hahaha, are you a fool? Your father has done all sorts of evil deeds; he too will suffer retribution after death. How could his children possibly end well?"
"I don’t care. Today, I will avenge my father. All of you will die today!" Liu Zheng roared through clenched teeth.
"Avenge? The mistakes your father made are enough for the entire cultivation world to hunt you down for a lifetime. Do you think they can still be made right?"
The man in black robes couldn’t help scoffing, his eyes flickering with disdain.
Upon hearing this, Liu Zheng froze in place.
His father had committed heinous crimes, true, but those were the consequences of his own actions; was his father an innocent man?
But what was he to do?
"I’ll tell you now. Kneel down and kowtow, then apologize to my father, and I might spare your life. Otherwise, I will let you know what it means to wish for death more than life!" the man in black robes said coldly, staring at Liu Zheng with a sneer.
"Dream on, do you think you can kill me?" Liu Zheng responded with a cold laugh upon hearing the words of the man in black robes.
"Oh? Then, let me show you what I’m capable of!"
Upon hearing this, the man in black robes’ gaze suddenly sharpened, and he reached out his right hand, forming a claw, and grabbed Liu Zheng’s throat.
Liu Zheng had no chance to dodge and was directly seized by the man in black robes.
"Let go of him!"
"You scum! You of the Divine Court really think you are above all. Today seems to be your death anniversary!"
Just then, an angry roar thundered, followed by a man in white speeding towards them from afar. He shattered the void with a step, his speed extremely fast.
Soon he was upon the assembled crowd.
"It’s him!"
Seeing the newcomer, the man in black robes’ expression changed slightly.
Although he was just an enforcer, he had also witnessed a Divine King Realm powerhouse.
The strength of the newcomer was even stronger than his, causing him to doubt the man’s authenticity. Could it be that he was a master sent from outside the Divine Court?
Thinking this, the man in black robes couldn’t help but scrutinize the newcomer, looking for flaws to discern the truth.
"Who are you?" Liu Zheng’s face instantly darkened after he got a clear look at the newcomer.
For the person before him was none other than a Guardian of the Godly Court.
He was Liu Changkong’s personal bodyguard, fearsomely powerful, and considered a significant figure within the Godly Court.
"You’re not worthy of knowing my name."
Liu Zheng’s expression immediately turned ugly.
Although he lacked strength, he was not someone to be trifled with, and he had a clear understanding of his own abilities.
But now, Liu Zheng didn’t even have a chance to resist.
"You...!"
Liu Zheng’s face turned crimson, and his eyes looked as if they were about to burst.
"You all need to leave, this is a Guardian of the Godly Court, not someone you can afford to provoke."
Seeing this, Liu Zheng quickly turned around and shouted to the people around him.
The cultivators nearby all changed color upon seeing this.
They could never have imagined encountering such a formidable deity, and moreover, the person was the so-called father that Liu Zheng had mentioned, the Liu Family Head.
"Hmph, you think you can escape so easily? Today, none of you will leave. If anyone dares to flee, don’t blame me for not being courteous!" The figure in the black robe snorted coldly, then extended a finger and drew a circle in the air, radiating countless symbols within it immediately started to swirl.
These symbols interweaved non-stop, forming a vast net.
The net descended and swiftly enveloped the group of people around.
Those caught within the net immediately showed horror on their faces.
"What, what are you doing?"
"Let me go at once, or my father will never let you get away with this!"
Seeing this, the surrounding cultivators began to shout in panic.
"Hmph, if you want to save them, then come up with a Token. Otherwise, with just a thought, I can easily obliterate you." The man in the black robe spoke coldly.
Upon hearing this, a hint of hesitation flashed in Liu Zheng’s eyes, but he quickly clenched his teeth firmly.
"Fine! I’ll give it to you, but you mustn’t kill me, or else our entire Liu Family will seek justice for us," Liu Zheng said in a deep voice.
"Hehe, don’t worry, I have no intention of killing you; after all, you have quite some value," the man in the black robe replied with a slight upturn of his mouth.
Liu Zheng’s eyes flashed with a glint of relief upon hearing this.
"Then hurry up and send a message to my father, let him bring a troop immediately. He will surely come to save us; after all, we are his own flesh and blood. How could he just watch us die?" Liu Zheng spoke urgently.
The man in the black robe let out a cold laugh, "You think a Guardian of our Godly Court could be summoned by your father?"
"What do you mean?" Liu Zheng’s face darkened as he asked in a heavy tone.
"What do I mean? Hehe, Liu Zheng, you don’t really believe your father is some Divine King, do you?" the man in the black robe said with cold amusement.
Liu Zheng’s face went blank at that.
"He’s not a Guardian? Then who is he?"
"Hehe, I can tell you with certainty that he is not only not a Guardian, but he doesn’t even qualify to be one; he’s merely a lowly slave."
After saying this, the man in the black robe sneered and then turned away from Liu Zheng to face the newcomer, shouting in a heavy voice, "Who are you? Dare to meddle in the affairs of the Godly Court, not ready to surrender quietly?!"
The robed man’s tone was full of arrogance.
Upon hearing these words, a flicker of anger crossed the faces of Liu Zheng and the others.
Their father was the most prominent figure in the Godly Court, a son of the Divine King. How could their father be a lowly slave?
"Hmph, just a Guardian of the Godly Court, and you think so highly of yourself."
However, at that moment, a chilling voice suddenly cut through.
