The explosion caused by Divine Monarch Zu's arrow created another scary results around the surroundings. The garden that was filled with greenery was now looking like an abandoned place with an eerie atmosphere. Some had activated a barrier in order to protect themselves while others ran in a distance they won't be affected.
While everyone was busy, the Grand and Divine Monarchs were looking at the place where the attack landed. Their faces was filled with shock as they saw an unfamiliar figure joining the fray!
It was a young man with a black hair. His face was average to say, but he has his charm that would make everyone look at him for the second and third time. He was not so handsome but his aura being emitted was enough to attract everyone here and there. He was standing next to Ancestor Sumire who was severely injured.
Of course, this is our boy Jin Rou.
"You should have asked for my help sooner." Jin Rou said as he looked at Ancestor Sumire, "Should you have done it earlier, you won't be in this kind of state. You are endangering your cultivation here."
Truth be told, Jin Rou wanted to help Ancestor Sumire even from the start. After all, he was amazed of how good her eyes were. She knew how to look at people very well. Besides, he said he would grant anything this ancestor wants.
However, Jin Rou also didn't want to stick his nose where it doesn't belong to. Well, unless Ancestor Sumire asked for his help. He was already bored enough that if there was no trouble, he might make one.
"..." Ancestor Sumire looked surprised not because of the words, but because of how easily Jin Rou grabbed the arrow with bare hands! She was speechless that she didn't know what to say anymore.
Of course, if Ancestor Sumire saw it, what's more for the opposing monarchs on the other side?
"Who are you?" This time, Divine Monarch Liger asked. With how easily this young man deflected the attack system of Divine Monarch Zu, he knew that this young man was a big deal.
"Me?" Jin Rou smiled, "Just a passerby."
"If you don't have any business here, I advise you to leave, young man." Liger said in a cold voice, "We will spare you this time as we can see that you have a potential. With how you managed to catch the arrow, you are indeed capable, but it doesn't mean that you can join in here. This is a matter between the old, and younger generations have no place here."
What Liger said was true. But for the reason of sparing Jin Rou? Only half of it was the reason. They were intending Jin Rou to back off in the cover of 'sparing him'. But in fact, they were very cautious as they didn't know what's the background of this young man. After all, what he did was too much to take!
"I really don't want to be part of this." Jin Rou revealed an expression that he was wronged, "But this old woman here asked for my help. So, I decided to help."
Jin Rou sighed and continued, "Besides, don't you feel any shame at all? 6 Grand Monarchs and 3 Divine Monarchs ganging up against one old woman? Are you guys that desperate to eradicate her that you would leave all your faces on the ground?"
Ancestor Sumire almost coughed blood once again as she heard Jin Rou repeating the words 'old woman' right in her face. You don't need to say those over and over, right?
"..." All of the monarchs' face darkened. This young man had a very sharp tongue!
Old Greenbelt almost lashed out but Liger signaled him to restrain. Indignant, he shut his mouth to obey.
After which, when the silence was already defeaning, Divine Monarch Bluist had finally spoken up, "This is the last time that we will ignore your actions. Leave, young man."
When Bluist said this, all of the monarchs were in awe with how cool and composed his voice was. Every word he said carried an unquestionable authority! Truly deserving to be one of the 4 Divine Monarchs of Blue Haven, the 2nd Pillar.
"These old folks keep on blabbering nonsense, wanting me to leave." Jin Rou chuckled, "Alright, how about you guys leave instead? If you do, I'll spare your dog lives. Truth be told, you Grands and Divines aren't enough to enter my eyes."
When everyone heard it, their jaw almost dropped and was terrified. This young man was nuts! He's crazy to offend the 9 monarchs present!
"You... Bastard!" Zu couldn't take her anger in check anymore. She decided to flew upwards and equipped her bow.
However, when she was about to pull the bow string, a hand suddenly appeared and choked her with such strength!
"Keuk!" Zu was surprised and scared shitless at the same time. The hand belonged to none other than Jin Rou!
"Wham! Bang!" Then, Jin Rou smashed Zu to the ground with a speed that even the monarchs couldn't follow and created a thick smoke all around!
Everyone present, even the 2 other Divine Monarchs, was taken aback and sweated a bit.
Soon, the smoke became thinner until everyone could now see the figure of the young man. He was half knelt on the ground, while still holding the throat of the lifeless monarch. Her eyes were open and revealed an expression full of indignation and hatred.
"Thump! Thump!" After a short while, Jin Rou stood up and looked at the other monarchs with a massive killing intent, "I changed my mind now. Since you are desperate in dying. I would grant your wish, then. Free of charge."
"…" The expressions of the monarchs became pale. When they looked at their dead comrade, they could not help but shudder a bit. But now that the young man had released his killing intent, they realized one thing.
They stepped in a dangerous muddy water! Muddy enough that they couldn't escape themselves!
