Chapter 423 Dogs [1]

423 Dogs [1]

"So you're the so-called husband? Now that I've seen you in person, I guess you aren't much."

Damien's eyes turned cold. In an instant, he appeared before Wang Tianhe, the latter's neck in his grasp.

"Why do you think yourself to be important enough to interrupt my reunion with my lovely wife? I left you traitors in the crowd alone because I wanted to spend some time with Rose before getting my hands dirty, but it seems you didn't savor the opportunity I gave you."

Damien grabbed Wang Tianhe's wrist and pulled. It wasn't a glamorous motion, in fact, it was slow enough that even a mortal would be able to follow it, yet, along with his pull, Wang Tianhe's entire arm was ripped from his body.

"Argh!"

Wang Tianhe gritted his teeth in pain he tried to rouse his mana to escape, but he suddenly found that his mana didn't respond to him.

"Pathetic. Your own mana has been abandoned by you long ago, so why would it listen to your command? It's a shame that it's been forced to stay inside your body with that trash you've injected yourself with. Allow me to free it from its shackles.

Pitch-black essence leaked from Damien's fingertips and entered Wang Tianhe's body. It snakes through his meridians, wrapping around the pure mana within and guiding it toward his heart.

"Devour."

A black hole was formed in Wang Tianhe's heart. Its suction forced pulled in all the pure mana that had been gathered, leaving only the corrupted Nox mana remaining inside the man's meridians.

"Disgusting. You actually dared to pursue my wife with this kind of pathetic strength? Even if I wasn't here to put you in your place. A single slap from her would be enough to kill you. Do you think yourself worthy of my queen?!"

The only option Wang Tianhe had left in retaliation was to use his corrupted mana, but with so many 4th class existences present, such a move would be the death of the Wang Clan.

"Boy, you dare?!" A booming voice rang out. A massive aura encompassed the area, causing a suffocating pressure to descend on all those present.

Damien snorted. "Finally someone of note has arrived. A dog son would definitely be raised by a dog father, so it isn't too surprising that you're the same as him."

The middle-aged man who was standing in the air ferociously glared at Damien. "Since his arm can be reattached, I can forgive this single transgression. As my son was pursuing your wife, I can understand why you'd need to vent your fury. However, don't go too far. Young men should learn when to advance and retreat."

Damien placidly looked at the middle-aged man. When it came to his aura, he was undoubtedly a 4th class, but Damien couldn't feel any of the awe or majesty 4th class existences used to carry anymore.

'The gap…has decreased this much.'

He turned his attention back to Wang Tianhe, only to catch the latter smirking at him. What will you do now? Even if you're more powerful than me, you'll still be humiliated by the power of the Wang Clan. That was what his gaze seemed to say.

"I don't know where you got your confidence from to look at the man who has your life in his hands like that, but from the looks of it, it seems you haven't understood a thing."

Since his left hand was occupied holding Wang Tianhe by the throat, he had to settle for the latter's right leg instead of going for another arm.

Rrriiip!

A disgusting ripping sound rang out as the leg was sloppily ripped from the body, accompanied by Wang Tianhe's pained screech.

Hissss!

The crowd collectively sucked in a cold breath. Whether it be the action itself or the connotations behind it, both were equally insane.

The fact of the matter was, Damien didn't use any mana at all. To rip apart the body of a top genius of the Central Continent, he had only used physical strength. And he did so while being completely unaffected by the aura or psychological pressure of a 4th class being bearing down on him, uncaring of the consequences of his actions.

How domineering!

But Wang Chen didn't seem to think so. "You brat that doesn't know how high the heavens are! Allow me to teach you a lesson today!"

Wang Chen's body blurred, appearing behind Damien in an instant. A fierce palm strike careened toward his back.

But by the time the attack landed, Damien and Wang Tianhe had vanished.

"Spatial cultivator!" Wang Chen realized through gritted teeth. Even if he hadn't used his full strength, he had used enough strength to cripple someone even on Long Chen's level. Yet, Damien had flawlessly escaped his attack.

"Old fart, you think too highly of yourself. Even amongst 4th class existences, you aren't much. In fact, I have an entry-level 4th-class subordinate that's far more powerful than you. Anyway, that doesn't matter. If losing face is what you're so afraid of, I'll allow you to lose even more."

Damien turned his attention to Wang Tianhe. "This is going to hurt a bit, but try to keep your screams down. Last time I did this to someone, my eardrums almost burst."

"Wha— AHHHHHHH!"

Before Wang Tianhe could even question what was happening, his body disappeared, reappearing a few feet below its original position.

But considering that they were on the ground, a few feet drop had far more substantial meaning.

Wang Tianhe's lower body was forced to occupy the same space that the molecules of the earth were already occupying. The pain of his very molecular structure being altered and fused with the earth almost drove Wang Tianhe insane.

But that wasn't all that happened. Logically speaking, it was impossible for two sets of molecules to inhabit the same space, superimposing upon each other. While in Elitra's case, her legs fused with the ground entirely, Wang Tianhe wasn't so lucky.

Bang!

The ground below exploded, sending streaks of blood and chunks of flesh flying into the air. If the molecules that were forced to superimpose on each other couldn't fuse, the structures they made up would simply explode, ridding the problem entirely.

"AHHHHHHHHH! FATHER, HELP ME!" Wang Tianhe cried pitifully. From the waist down, his body no longer existed. His intestines leaked from the hole in his waist like snakes jumping out of a can.

"BRAT, YOU DARE?!"

Wang Chen didn't hold anything back. This time, he charged with the true power of a 4th class existence.

Damien still gazed at his incoming figure placidly. 'I can see him.'

Although it was blurry, he could still read his opponent's movements. He could read the movement of a genuine 4th class existence. If he wanted to, he could even dodge the incoming strike with relative ease, but there was no need to show all his cards at the moment.

After all, he had no way of knowing whether these traitors could contact the enemy, making them aware of his strength. Damien didn't have any desire to die early because the Nox became aware of the threat he would pose to them in the future.

"Old man, haven't you watched long enough? Do you plan on letting me die here?"

"Ohoho!" An intrigued laughter responded to his words. Wang Chen's momentum was immediately slowed. "How could I not enjoy the show? A certain rebellious disciple of mine was showing me how much he'd grown while he was gone. I couldn't just interrupt him, could I"

Pah!

Tian Yang's sagely form appeared in the air before Wang Chen. A light slap landed on the latter's head, forcing his body into the ground.

"Now, now. A fight between juniors is occurring, us old folk should just sit back and watch, shouldn't we?"

Wang Chen gritted his teeth. Out of all people, it had to be Tian Yang who stopped him. Whether in terms of status or power, he wasn't even close to matching up.

"Senior, your disciple is killing my son. How could this be called a mere spar?!" He still protested pitifully. He didn't care about face anymore.

Wang Tianhe was the hope of the Wang Clan. For their plans to proceed smoothly, he was integral.

Yet, he was about to die a dog's death.

Damien sneered. "Old fart, listen well. This is the fate of those who dare target my women."

Damien was done toying with his prey. The last demonstration should've been enough to warn those watching.

Bang!

Wang Tianhe's head exploded. All it took was a single slap.

"AHHHHHHH! MY SON!"

Wang Chen roared. Out of nowhere, 5 4th class existences appeared behind his back.

"Even if it's you, you will not be able to stop me today! That brat must die!" Wang Chen growled at Tian Yang.

Tian Yang smiled. "Brat, it seems you've angered him. What will you do now?"

Damien snorted. "Old man, you have eyes too, even if they aren't as good as mine. For these kinds of traitors, there is no mercy at all."

And just like with Wang Chen, 5 4th class existences appeared behind Damien's back.
