Chapter 730: How Could You Put Up with This

While having the roasted meat, Xiao Luo’s Divine Awareness detected several human auras approaching.

Would he finally meet a living person?

He was excited. If he ran into any human, he could ask them for directions to get to the sacred location of the Light Clan. Then, he would execute the Flying Formula immediately and head right over there without stopping.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Suddenly, flashing across the sky, four figures flew out of the forest. They were very agile and were armed with crossbows, knives, or spears in their hands. As soon as they saw Xiao Luo’s face, the four let their guard down.

“Sh*t. It is not one of those sons of b*tches from the Ziyue Cave Heaven. It’s so disappointing!” one of them swore. He had every single trait a bad guy would have, including a long chubby face with a terrifying and evil expression.

“Tell me about it! When I saw the fire, I thought it was those bast*rds, too. Now that we’ve hurried here, it turns out to be not the case. How disappointing! So, those bast*rds are not too stupid after all, lighting a fire as they’re attempting to escape,” said another man.

“Forget about those bast*rds for now. We have been chasing them for too long. I am starving now. What have we here? A roasted Lili. It looks like we have something to gain after all.”

The man with the long chubby face could not help swallowing his saliva when he saw the roasted Lili in front of him. After sensing Xiao Luo’s energy level, he said disdainfully, “How dare a Martial Master venture so deep in this forest! You do not know what you are getting into. But you are quite lucky. You killed a Lili. That is unbelievable.”

The other three also laughed scornfully after gauging Xiao Luo’s energy. They certainly would not feel threatened by an insignificant Martial Master. After all, they were Martial Spirits, two realms above Martial Master. It would be as easy as falling off a log for them to kill this guy.

They did not know that Xiao Luo had intentionally suppressed his energy so that no one would feel threatened by him. They knew he was a Martial Master only because they had sensed the part of his True Inner Force that inadvertently flowed from his body.

“What are you four pieces of sh*t murmuring about? Tell your Grandpa Duck Emperor now. How can we go to the sacred place of the Light Clan?” Duck Emperor got to his feet, holding a thin twig, pretending to pick his teeth with it, although he did not have teeth like a human.

Did the duck just talk?

The four martial spirits were astonished and looked at each other in surprise. There were looks of awe in their eyes because an exotic beast had to reach the level of a beast demon before it could speak like a human. Somehow they could not believe that the greedy duck with the enormous belly was a beast demon.

It could not be. Its energy flow did not seem like that of a beast demon!

The four probed further into the Duck Emperor’s energy and could sense that it was not a beast demon. It was an exotic beast of the fifth level, at the very most. Then it was rather strange, for how could it speak? What the hell was it?

“You, Mother duckers!”

Seeing them astonished and speechless, the Duck Emperor was so annoyed that he swore at them. Then he gave the man with the long chubby face a hard slap with his wing, just like it was a human hand. “Piece of sh*t. Grandpa Duck Emperor just asked you a question. What are you staring at? None of you have answered me. You are not giving any face to your Grandpa Duck Emperor.”

The man with the long chubby face who got slapped stood looking stupefied for a moment, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. Then he raised his hand to give the Duck Emperor, who was still in the air, a slap in return.

He struck the Duck Emperor with a hard blow. With a shrill quack, the duck’s body flew off and hit a giant tree. The duck went limp and fell onto the ground right next to the trunk of the giant tree. Feeling dizzy, Duck Emperor stood up shakily. His head was spinning, and he was seeing stars.

“Sh*t. I nearly freaked out earlier. It’s no beast demon, but just a damned duck—only an exotic beast of the fifth level!” sighed the man with the long chubby face as he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.

The other three also felt relieved when they confirmed that the duck was not a beast demon. Had it been one, their leader could not have slapped it away as beast demons were too strong. The duck must have eaten some panacea to speak like a human.

“Young man, we are hungry. We will eat some of your roasted meat. You would not have any problem with that, would you?”

The man with the long chubby face said to Xiao Luo dismissively. Then he immediately bent down to cut the meat of the Lili with his knife.

“Yes. I have a problem with that,” said Xiao Luo honestly as he got up on his feet.

Oh?

Xiao Luo’s answer shocked the four, and they looked at him disdainfully before they all burst out laughing.

“Little jerk, open your eyes. See what levels we are at and what level you are at.”

“How dare a little Martial Master like you find trouble with us? We are Martial Spirits. Are you courting death? This place is the Forest of the Infinity Edge. No matter what strong backing you have, if you are not strong enough yourself, you will get killed here without being able to fight back.”

“Of all the nerve… You are lucky that we want to eat your barbecue. Don’t act like a bast*rd and f*ck off!”

The four men cut the meat with their knives without waiting for Xiao Luo’s response. They acted as if he did not exist at all.

“Goddamned jerk. How could you put up with this? Beat them!” The Duck Emperor hated those people for beating him up. As he was not strong enough to retaliate, egging Xiao Luo on was the only way to get his revenge on those men.

However, the duck did not need to do that, for Xiao Luo was ready to take action.

Xiao Luo was not a pushover and had they asked him for some meat politely, he would not have minded. But the four martial spirits remained on their high horses since they arrived. They acted as if it was a given that they could eat his barbecue. In that case, he would not let them eat it.

“I will count three. Stop immediately when I reach three. Otherwise, die!” Xiao Luo said plainly. The Dragon Saber had automatically flown into his hand.

At first, the four were quite shocked by Xiao Luo’s outburst, but soon, they burst out laughing again as if they were facing an idiot.

“Haha, haha… Did I hear him right? This guy just said he was going to kill us.”

“Little jerk. What did you eat to suddenly find your courage? How dare you speak to us in that way? Don’t you have any idea what level you are at?”

“Open your eyes and wake up! You are just a little Martial Master, and any of us can kill you easily! Do you know that?”

The four were all laughing mockingly, then their laughter turned into sneers. It was easy to tell from their looks that they had the intention to kill Xiao Luo. His perceived ignorance had annoyed, and they were resolved to put an end to the arrogant young man once they had had enough to eat.

“One.”

“Two.”

With his eyes fixed on them, Xiao Luo was counting unhurriedly.

“Haha, haha… You’re a funny guy!” The four muscular men continued to laugh, thinking that Xiao Luo was a crazy fool.

“Three.”

On the count of three, they stopped laughing.

The man with the long chubby face detected a strong smell of blood. Then he saw blood dripping down the blade in Xiao Luo’s hand. There had been no blood on the blade only moments ago. How come there was blood dripping down now?

“Arghh!”

Suddenly, he heard a horrible scream.

GLUG! GLUG! GLUG!

Blood was gushing out from the necks of his three companions. They dropped their weapons and their eyes were opened wide. Then they fell to the ground with blood was still gurgling out of their necks.
