Slavery scandal
Xia Fei could not help but curse as he punched Seth twice.
Seth was dumbfounded! His eyes were wide open like copper bells, and his eyelids were unblinking.
He didn't understand how someone could break through his Cliff Defense. It should be noted that regardless of whether it was a Defense Esper Ability or Defense Law, they were all considered top-notch existences in the circle. Every time it was attacked, the Rock Defense would automatically rise, and hundreds of cobblestone-like smooth rocks would rapidly form, blocking the enemy's attack.
Although Seth had become a slave, the Law of Protection was still in place, so the slave traders could do nothing to him. That was why he was so arrogant and acted like a boss in the cage.
Right now, Xia Fei's fist had easily broken through the layers of stone protection and landed directly on the right side of Seth's face. This was the first time Seth had encountered such a situation!
There was a moment of silence in the warehouse. The singers and slave traders could not believe their eyes! The Law Emperor Seth, who had dominated the Exiled Grounds for forty years and had personally destroyed countless tribes, had been defeated by Xia Fei! He effortlessly broke through the Law of Protection and landed his iron fist squarely on Seth's face!
Drip!
A drop of blood flowed out from Seth's nose and landed on the ground with a crisp sound.
Seth felt a lump in his throat. He wiped it with his hand, and his fingers were stained red.
"Blood?" Seth exclaimed. He had almost forgotten when was the last time someone had beaten him to the point where his head was bleeding. Looking at Xia Fei, who was much smaller and skinnier than him, Seth's expression turned frosty.
"Ah! I'll fight it out with you! "Seth roared as he lunged at Xia Fei.
…
Seth seemed to have some misgivings. The Law of Defense could be used for both offense and defense, and it was extremely mysterious. However, for some reason, Seth only used the Law of Defense and relied on his fists to attack.
Given Xia Fei's current cultivation, Seth might have been able to put up a fight if he went all out, but Xia Fei did not use the power of law, relying solely on his fists. This was no different from crippling his own martial arts. As for the defense he was so proud of, it was no match for the Law of Primal Chaos. Even the Law of Ternary Spectrum that had imprisoned the old demon lord Oro could not stop Xia Fei, much less the Law of Defense. Moreover, after this period of recuperation, Xia Fei's Law of Primal Chaos had already reached level 3! Stronger than before!
Thus, a shocking scene unfolded in the Liu family's warehouse. The Law Emperor, Seth, was curled up on the ground like a shrimps in pain. His face was pale and swollen like a pig's head. Two of his front teeth were missing, and he spoke with a lisp. Of course, after Xia Fei's unforgettable lesson, Seth no longer dared to speak.
"Oh my god, am I blind? This young man actually beat up the Hunter King, Seth!"
"Illusion, it's definitely an illusion! Seth is a mighty level 2 Law Emperor, how could he be beaten so badly?! "
"This is too terrifying! I've never seen such a horrifying scene in my life. The murderous Seth was beaten into a pig's head. No one would believe it even if I told them! "
The courtesans let out cries of alarm as their hearts trembled uncontrollably, their faces pale with fright. The legs of the slave traders were shaking uncontrollably, unable to believe that Seth, who had been tormenting the entire slave trade, would be so easily beaten to the ground, moaning in pain.
Xia Fei wiped his hand clean with a handkerchief and asked with furrowed eyebrows, "You clearly had a powerful Law of Defense, so why didn't you retaliate?"
Seth had yet to recover from his disappointment, and he could not help but mutter, "I failed. The Crag Defense failed …"
To him, the pain he suffered was just a superficial wound and nothing much, but having his Crag Defense broken by Xia Fei was a fatal blow! The pride of a warrior had been mercilessly destroyed and torn apart. This pain was like a nightmare, one that would never go away.
This was the power of the Law of Primal Chaos! Inverting black and white, breaking through all obstacles!
"You really don't know what it means to keep a low profile. Things have gotten out of hand this time. Let's hurry and leave this place," Lionheart Emperor Oro said. He seemed to be somewhat dissatisfied with Xia Fei's rash action.
Xia Fei nodded, and under countless shocked gazes, he strode away.
Little Rock's face was pale at first, but it soon turned red from excitement. He puffed out his chest and followed behind Xia Fei. This was the first time in his life that he had felt so glorious. Those slave traders who usually bullied him did not even bother to look at him, and Little Rock was very pleased with himself.
"Hold it!" Seth suddenly yelled, slowly getting to his feet and approaching Xia Fei.
The courtesans covered their mouths in fear, thinking, 'Could it be that Seth is unconvinced and is going to fight to the death?!'
Xia Fei turned to look at Seth, only to see the latter ignoring the blood still flowing down his face as he strode over, his fists clenched as if he had made up his mind.
"You still want to fight?" Xia Fei coldly asked. It had been some time since the Blood Crystal had devoured any blood essence, and its luster was gradually dimming. Xia Fei did not mind using the life of a Law Emperor to feed it. At most, he would just destroy this city and leave. He believed that there was no one here who could stop him.
* Thump! *
To Xia Fei's surprise, Seth fell to his knees in front of Xia Fei, his two hands grabbing onto Xia Fei's calf as tears streamed down his face. "Please buy me! I've had enough of this place! I want to be a slave! I want to be your slave! "
Xia Fei was speechless. This was a Law Emperor expert who had the Law of Defense under his feet! For such an insufferably arrogant person to cry and beg to be his slave? What could he even say?
"A mere cage won't be able to hold you. Just what are you plotting? If you don't tell me the truth, I'll take your life! "Xia Fei coldly said, his fingers bending as his knuckles cracked.
There was definitely something wrong with this abnormal situation. This was all too inconceivable. How could a Law Emperor expert become a slave? And why would he beg to buy him after being beaten up by Xia Fei? Xia Fei's mind spun rapidly, but he could not come up with an answer.
"I can swear on my ancestors that I'm truly willing to be a slave! If I'm lying, I'll be struck by lightning! Please take me in. I, Seth, will be your dog from now on! I'll serve you with all my heart! "
* Thump! *
* Thump! *
Several of the slave traders who were watching the commotion fell to the ground when they heard what the Law Emperor Seth said. The once glorious Bounty Hunter, a demon who killed without batting an eyelid, was actually calling himself a loyal dog, swearing to follow Xia Fei until his death. Such a huge contrast was hard to accept, and no one knew what had gotten into Seth.
…
Under everyone's shocked gazes, Xia Fei kicked Seth away.
* Bang! *
Seth's body tilted, and he flew out horizontally, slamming heavily into the alloy bars. Several of the alloy bars that were as thick as a forearm broke! Such strength!
"There's no use swearing. I won't believe you even if you bet your entire family. If you know what's good for you, don't come any closer, or else you'll die."
With that said, Xia Fei turned to leave. The Law Emperor Seth could not hide his disappointment, his lips trembling as he debated whether he should stop Xia Fei again.
The owner of the market, Liu Jinzhu, who had been watching from the sidelines, was stunned. He quickly took two steps forward and blocked Xia Fei's path of retreat, a smile on his face.
"Sir, don't go. Let's talk this through. Let's talk this through."
Xia Fei ignored him and continued on his way.
"Just do a good deed and buy Seth. We really can't afford to have someone like him here."
"As long as you're willing to buy Seth, not only will our Liu family not take a single cent, we'll even give you a thousand grade 4 Origin Crystals! No, two thousand! "
"Three thousand!"
"Five thousand grade 4 Origin Crystals, and you can choose any slave you like in the market! I'll give them all to you! "
Xia Fei remained unperturbed. Lionheart Emperor Oro burst into laughter. "It seems that this slave trader has been tormented badly by Seth. Even if he has to fork out a large sum of money, he still wants to give him to you. Actually, it's not like you can't take him in; he does have some strength."
Xia Fei shook his head. "That won't do. There's something strange about this matter from start to finish. Unless I can figure out what's going on, I won't accept him even if I have to pay him. I already have enough troubles on my hands."
Meng Tianxin's newly researched communication system was very ingenious. Xia Fei's consciousness could be transformed into voice, communicating with Oro inside the ring, and no one else would be able to discover it.
The old demon lord disapprovingly replied, "There's a plant in Exiled Grounds called the Rosemary Thorn Fruit. Once eaten, even an expert with the cultivation of an Imperial King will be unable to resist their master. They'll have to do whatever their master tells them to do, so you don't have to worry about Seth being out of control. The slave trade in Exiled Grounds has a long history, and their methods are very clever."
Xia Fei replied, "I understand what you're saying. What I'm worried about isn't being able to control Seth, but how Seth managed to go from being a mercenary who specialized in capturing slaves in the mountains to becoming a slave. There's something very fishy going on here."
Lionheart Emperor Oro felt that Xia Fei's worries were not unfounded, so he no longer tried to persuade Xia Fei to buy Seth. However, the owner of the market, Liu Jinzhu, continued to pester Xia Fei, raising the price from five thousand to ten thousand grade 4 Origin Crystals.
He finally had a chance to send Seth away, and Big Boss Liu did not want to miss it. Keeping Seth by his side would always be a scourge. Just Seth's daily entertainment cost a lot of money, and the sooner he sent this hot potato away, the better. These days, Big Boss Liu had been tormented by Seth to the brink of insanity!
Alas, Xia Fei had already made up his mind, completely ignoring Liu Jinzhu. A slave that could not be sold off even if he paid ten thousand grade 4 Origin Crystals, Boss Liu had truly made a huge loss in business!
"Hold it!"
After struggling for a while, Seth finally made a decision. He jogged over to Xia Fei's side and said in a deep voice, "I'll tell you everything you want to know. I only ask that you give me a chance to finish what I have to say."
Xia Fei turned around and glanced at Seth. "Sure, but you'll have to wear a mask."
…
There was a floor-to-ceiling window in the office, and Liu Jinzhu could see his subordinates working from there. He was currently waiting anxiously outside the door. Whether this slave of his would be able to make a move or not would all depend on today.
Speaking of which, it could only be said that Boss Liu was unlucky. He had never heard of anyone in the business willing to pay for a slave, and not only did Boss Liu do so, what was even more tragic was that he could not sell the slave even if he paid for it, and he even had to look at Xia Fei's mood! This was truly an unheard of story.
Lighting a cigarette, Xia Fei looked at Seth, who was wearing a mask, and asked in a deep voice, "You can tell me now. As a Law Emperor and the infamous leader of the mercenary hunters, how did you end up becoming a slave?"
Seth lowered his head and answered in a pained voice, "Actually, I was the one who ran into the cage and forced that Liu brat to take me in as a slave. I was also the one who signed the contract."
Xia Fei was taken aback. "Why did you do that?"
