Zhao An trembled uncontrollably. He wanted to explain himself, but he realized that no matter what he said, it was futile. He was the one who killed the donkeys, and he was the one who skinned them personally. He thought that it was a small matter, but who would have thought that... a donkey would come to seek revenge!
Back then, he only reared an ordinary donkey without any demonic beast bloodline or unique constitution. How did it manage to cultivate to the point that it could speak? Furthermore, there was such a powerful expert by his side?
Putong! In an instant, Zhao An kneeled on the floor and tears flowed from his eyes. "Grandpa Donkey, actually, I wasn't the one who killed Xiao Hei. No matter how vicious I am, how could I possibly kill my companions when I was poor?"
"Un?" Seeing the sincerity in his words, Dahei looked at him doubtfully. "If it wasn't you, who was it?"
"It was..."
A glint flashed across Zhao An's eyes. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Clan Head Chen has said that strength is everything. I am only at Juxi realm 9-dan, and I am the clan head of the Zhao Clan in name. Yet, there are still many people in Great Salt City who are dissatisfied with my authority. As such, there are many who covet my assets and cause trouble."
"There was once when I went out for business for a month. When I returned, I realized that Xiao Hei and the others had been killed. Back then, I was heartbroken. In order to commemorate them, I skinned them and hung them here! Otherwise, if donkey skin can be made into gelatin, why would I hang it on the wall in such a state? "
As he spoke, tears flowed down Zhao An's cheeks. It was as though he had lost his best friend and kin. "Xiao Hei, you died a tragic death! You were beaten to a pulp, but due to my weak cultivation, I am unable to exact vengeance for you... "
"This..." Donkey was stunned. He wanted to berate the other party, but he couldn't find the words to do so.
No matter what, he had a master and servant relationship with the other party. Even though he was a little mean, without him, Xiao Hei would have died long ago.
Thus, he suppressed his rage and didn't make a move. Instead, he asked the other party for the reason.
Could it be that he wasn't the one who did it?
All along, he was too lazy to use his brain. Everything was decided by the parrot and the old tortoise. Now that the other party was speaking with such sincerity, he couldn't make up his mind.
He turned to look at The Great Demon, who was standing not too far away.
"You don't have to use this kind of trick!" Ji Le snorted.
As a demonic cultivator who had once stood at the pinnacle of the world, he could see through the hearts of others. No matter how sincere the other party's acting was, in his eyes, it was full of flaws.
"I'm not lying. It's true. Grandpa Donkey, please believe me …"
Zhao An hurriedly explained as he scanned the surroundings. All of a sudden, he abruptly pointed a finger and said, "It's him! He's the one who killed Blackie! All these years, I didn't dare to say anything even though I was angry … "
Bliss and Dahei turned around and saw the butler looking at them with a pale face. "Master, I …"
"I want to avenge Little Black!"
With a roar, Zhao An dashed toward the butler. At some point in time, a talisman had appeared in his palm. He slapped the talisman forward, activating the patterns on it.
Boom!
Boundless Origin Qi gathered, and in the blink of an eye, a sharp Sword Qi was formed in the air, piercing through the air.
Once the offensive formation pattern talisman was activated, it could release a full-powered attack from the person who drew the talisman. It was a one-time consumable item and was extremely expensive. Just this one talisman alone was worth at least a few hundred thousand taels of silver. It was also priceless. One might not even be able to buy it in Great Salt City.
Only the head of the Zhao Clan could take it out casually.
Puhe!
Before the butler could react, the sword qi had already pierced right through his heart.
"Master …" Even at the moment of his death, the butler still couldn't believe what had happened.
"Grandpa Donkey, even though the culprit has been executed, I didn't protect Blackie well. Even if you kill me, you won't dare to complain at all!"
After killing the butler, Zhao An kneeled to the floor once more and tears flowed down his face. "All these years, I have been blaming myself. Even though I couldn't afford to eat, I was still very happy. Every day, I would wake up in the middle of the night to cut grass and feed you all … Even though you were all skin and bones, you never complained. How fortunate am I to have companions like you all …"
"…"
Upon seeing this sight, City Lord Lu and the others were dumbfounded.
They had seen shameless people before, but they had never seen someone as shameless as him!
It wasn't due to luck that the Zhao Clan was able to rise to power. The Zhao Clan's head's ability to assess the situation was truly incredible! If he could defeat the other party, he would kill him on the spot. If he couldn't, he would first feign weakness before finding a scapegoat to take the blame for it.
If the other party were to believe him, he might really be able to live.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the man and the donkey. At this moment, Donkey's eyes were filled with confusion. The hatred and anger in his heart weren't as intense as before.
On the other hand, the child had a playful smile in his eyes, as though he was watching a monkey show.
The Great Demon of Bliss was indeed watching a monkey show. These were the tricks he had used in the past. He didn't expect to see them again. Just as he was about to expose them, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked up.
He wasn't the only one. City Lord Lu and the others also felt that something was amiss. They raised their heads at the same time. Following which, a flying ship pierced through the air and appeared above the courtyard. Five figures were flying straight toward them.
The one in the lead had reached third-dan Heritage realm while the other four were Zongshi realm pinnacle. As soon as they appeared, their powerful aura sealed off the surroundings.
"Stalling for time?"
The Great Demon of Bliss narrowed his eyes.
Previously, he had thought that City Lord Zhao was putting on a clown's performance. As long as he exposed him, Brother Donkey would definitely kill him. In the face of absolute strength, all actions were futile.
In the end, he was just stalling for time, waiting for reinforcements!
If he was at his peak, he wouldn't have thought much of such a lineup. However, after being sealed eight thousand years ago and tortured by Donkey, the parrot, and the others, he couldn't even exert a hundredth of his strength. It wouldn't be easy for him to defeat the other party.
"Brother Donkey …"
He couldn't help but warn the other party through telepathy.
Before he could finish his sentence, Patriarch Zhao, who was not far away, seemed to have found his savior. He dashed forward and arrived in front of Xu Chong and the others before kneeling on the ground once again, "Elder Xu, elders, please save me. This demonic donkey and this kid knew that I was the one who received you, and for some unknown reason, they wanted to kill me to silence me. Luckily, I reacted quickly and managed to escape. However, my butler has already been killed by them. Furthermore, not only do they want to kill me, they also want to slaughter the entire Great Salt City …"
The Great Demon of Bliss frowned.
What nonsense. However, this would resonate with the other experts and force them to stand up for him.
As expected, the elder named Xu Chong glanced at the dead butler, the severely injured Manor Master Lu, and the others before turning his gaze toward Zhang Xuan. "As a demonic cultivator, how dare you cause trouble in Great Salt City? How dare you!"
"I'm causing trouble?" The Great Demon of Bliss was speechless.
He had come back with Brother Donkey to visit his family. He thought that it would be impressive to have a Divinity realm cultivator in such a small place, but he didn't expect so many experts to appear here!
Even the Immortal Suppression Sect from ten years ago wouldn't be able to produce such a lineup!
Just as he was at a loss for words, Donkey turned to Zhao An behind Xu Chong and said calmly, "I didn't intend to slaughter the entire Great Salt City!"
"That's hard to say!"
With a backing, Zhao An was no longer as cowardly as before. He sneered coldly, "If not for my quick reaction, I would have been killed by you! Who knows if you'll kill City Lord Lu and the others and slaughter more people if you kill me? No one can guarantee what will happen if an uncivilized beast goes berserk. "
Zhao An bowed again. "Elder Xu, please kill this donkey as well! Since it can speak, it must be at least a Divinity realm cultivator. Kill it if you can, but don't let it go. "
"Why do they want to kill you?"
Elder Xu frowned and asked without answering his question.
"A few years ago, a few Donkey I raised were causing trouble everywhere and I killed them! This donkey is their leader. He's accomplished in his cultivation and wants to avenge them! "Zhao An said.
"Did you really kill Little Black?" Before Elder Xu could speak, Donkey gritted his teeth and looked over.
"That's right. It's just a black donkey. Not only did I kill it, but I also roasted it and stewed its bones into soup … Haha, I have to say, it's delicious. Dragon meat from the heavens and donkey meat from the earth. You live up to your reputation!"
Zhao An laughed.
With a backing, he wanted to vent all the humiliation from before. Otherwise, what would City Lord Lu and the others think of him? How could he intimidate them?
"It's just a cowardly Donkey. It's never cultivated or harmed anyone. All along, it worked hard to earn money for you. You shouldn't have killed it …"
With a sorrowful gaze, Donkey walked forward as he spoke.
"Shouldn't have killed it? Isn't it only right for the strong to kill the weak? I'm rich now, and I don't need to rely on grinding flour to feed my family anymore. If I don't kill it, why should I keep it alive? "
Zhao An scoffed.
With Heritage and Grandmaster realm cultivators around, there was nothing to fear from a donkey and a child.
"Alright, since that's the case, I'll avenge Little Black! Even if I'm no match for you, I'll be fearless even if I'm afraid … "
Donkey gritted his teeth and walked forward step by step.
Little Black was his best companion, and it was killed by this person. Even if he knew that these people were vicious and that he might be killed if he charged forward recklessly, he had no way out.
"It's not easy to cultivate to become a monster. Retreat immediately, and I can spare your life. Otherwise … you'll die here like him!"
Seeing Donkey walking toward them fearlessly, Xu Chong frowned.
"So what if I die? I've always been a coward, and I don't want to make enemies with others. However, you've gone too far, and I can't stand it anymore … "As Donkey spoke, he had already arrived before the crowd.
"Ignorant fool, I gave you face, but you don't want it. Die!"
Seeing that a donkey dared to act so arrogantly, a Grandmaster blacksmith bellowed furiously and struck down with his palm.
With the strength of a Grandmaster realm pinnacle cultivator, the air around him froze, and an endless force came crashing down.
Sensing the other party's strength, Donkey shrank back in fright and raised his hoof to meet the attack.
Hu!
Under the impact of the hoof, the overwhelming force dissipated into nothingness. In an instant, it was as if a mountain had appeared before the eyes of the Grandmaster realm expert.
Peng!
His vision darkened, and he was kicked in the chest. Seven to eight of his ribs broke, and his Zhen Yuan collapsed. He was sent flying.
Blood spurted from his mouth in midair.
"Hehe!"
The Great Demon of Bliss chuckled softly.
Previously, he had been worried that Brother Donkey would fly into a rage, but now, he really did.
A mere Grandmaster realm pinnacle cultivator actually dared to provoke him.
In contrast to his reaction, the entire hall fell silent!
Even though the fighting prowess of a Grandmaster realm pinnacle blacksmith couldn't be compared to the combat geniuses of his realm, he was still on par with them. Yet … his full-powered attack was defeated by a single hoof of a donkey, leaving him severely injured …
What was going on?
The lips of City Lord Lu and the others trembled, and they found themselves at a loss for words.
At this moment, they finally understood why the child had been trying to dissuade the other party. If even a Grandmaster realm expert was unable to withstand the other party's attack, wouldn't they die with a single hoof?
"There's something weird about this demonic beast! Let's attack it together … "
Realizing what was going on, Xu Chong narrowed his eyes and shouted anxiously.
Before he could finish his words, Donkey's anxious voice sounded.
"Lateral Kick, Whirlwind Kick, Tornado Kick, Roaring Kick, Whirlwind Kick, Donkey Rolling …"
Boom!
In an instant, before an Inherited Realm martial artist and three Grandmaster Realm martial artists could form a matrix, they saw hoofprints that filled the air and fell on them from all directions.
Every single one of them was as heavy as a mountain, and when thousands of them gathered together, it was as if a meteor had fallen from the sky.
Kacha! Kacha! Kacha! Kacha!
A series of firecracker-like sounds echoed in the air. Xu Chong and the others felt as if their bones were shattering. Following which, they felt as if their bodies had crashed into a train.
Sou sou sou sou!
They were sent flying, and they crashed into the wall, creating four massive holes. While in midair, they spurted mouthfuls of blood.
From the moment Donkey started moving to the moment the five of them were injured, less than five breaths had passed. Regardless of whether it was a Grandmaster or a Lineage realm expert, they were all defeated in a single move.
Donkey continued moving forward. Arriving before Zhao An, he stared at him intently and said, "It's your turn …"
"I …"
With a pale face and trembling body, Zhao An's knees buckled, and he fell to the ground.
Those were the members of the Blacksmith Hall, and yet … they were unable to defeat a donkey!
