Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Pies Really Do Fall from the Sky
Thump...
Suddenly, Luo Ning bit her teeth and knelt towards the direction of the warehouse, pleading in a trembling voice, "Young Master, Thunder Wing Trading House wants to destroy our Luoshui Jade Line. Please lend us your aid, I, Luo Ning, am willing to work like an ox or a horse."
Inside the warehouse, Sikong Jing did not respond, still remaining eerily quiet.
Seeing this, Luo Shuizhe also knelt down without hesitation, swearing all kinds of oaths.
Instantly, Thunder Wing’s entire body trembled slightly, and he said in a sinister tone, "Turns out it’s not a demon beast, but a human... playing ghostly tricks, listen up, everyone, charge in and see what kind of bird person is inside."
At the command, the people from Thunder Wing Trading House immediately showed their killing intent and charged towards the warehouse entrance.
"Hmm, is that killing aura?"
The very next moment, Sikong Jing’s voice finally came through, husky and terrifying, "Die!"
An overwhelmingly invincible pressure exploded from within the warehouse.
Outside the warehouse, it suddenly fell eerily silent, including Thunder Wing, everyone’s True Qi solidified, everyone’s expressions frozen...
Bang bang bang bang...
Next, a scene that scared the people of Luoshui Jade Line witless occurred.
The people from Thunder Wing Trading House fell to the ground one after another, all of them bleeding from their seven orifices to death, their faces twisted to the extreme.
It was as if they had been scared to death alive.
"What, what is that? A demon beast that can speak human language?"
Thunder Wing stood rooted in place, asking dumbfounded, before blood started flowing from his seven orifices, and with a loud thud, he fell to the ground, dead.
Outside the warehouse, there was a dead silence.
Luo Shuizhe and Luo Ning were completely stupefied, the originally captive members of Luoshui Jade Line were also dumbfounded, they even forgot that they were free again, only wanting to know what exactly was inside the warehouse.
Yet, they were unaware that at this moment, inside the warehouse, Sikong Jing withdrew his aura, murmuring to himself, "What did I just do?"
He had observed the myriad divine beasts and fierce beasts in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sky Prison for half a two hours period and still hadn’t fully recovered, just like before, as if he had become one of the beasts.
And just when the killing aura stormed in, he had unconsciously retaliated with a beast-like pressure.
This was self-defense!
As for Luo Ning and Luo Shuizhe’s pleas for help, he hadn’t heard them.
So Sikong Jing slightly furrowed his brow, but still couldn’t remember what he had done a moment ago, and suddenly asked, "Miss Luo Ning, are you outside? Come on in."
Luo Ning, her mind in turmoil, glanced at her father before reluctantly swallowing and walked in.
Only then did she see that Sikong Jing had stood up at some point, she quickly asked, "Young Master Sikong, do you have any orders?"
Her tone, humbler than ever before, didn’t even dare to look Sikong Jing in the eye.
Sikong Jing blinked, looking somewhat strangely at the pale-faced Luo Ning before replying, "Get me two thousand more blank Green Jade Papers, and the completed Green Jade Plates inside the warehouse will serve as your compensation."
What he had to do next was to merge the Beast Skills of 108 Transcendent demon beasts.
This was the first major hurdle of the Emperor Beheading Technique, only through merging could one reach the Heaven Realm.
And of course, this would waste quite a few materials.
The success rate with Green Jade Paper was higher, and Green Jade Paper was smaller too, that way he could bring them back to the courtyard where Su Yuexi resided to try.
He couldn’t always stay in the warehouse of the Luoshui Jade Line.
Sikong Jing’s words left Luo Ning stunned, she couldn’t help but ask excitedly, "Young Master Sikong, are you saying that these 107 completed Green Jade Plates can be exchanged for two thousand blank Green Jade Papers?"
Luo Ning couldn’t believe it, was this a pie from the sky?
A Green Jade Plate inscribed with Emperor Grade Martial Techniques was priceless.
"Hmm, two thousand sheets should be enough... If it’s not, can I come back for more?" Sikong Jing nodded, then furrowed his brow and asked, "Do I look very frightening right now?"
Luo Ning had become an acquaintance, so why did her gaze toward him resemble that of beholding an unrivaled fierce beast?
Was it just because he had a bit more Green Jade Stone Powder on him?
For a moment, Luo Ning didn’t know how to respond and muttered to herself, "If you’re not scary, who is?"
But her astonishment at the 107 Emperor Grade Green Jade Plates quickly overshadowed her concerns, and she repeatedly said, "Of course, Young Master Sikong can have as many Green Jade Papers as he wants. Just say the word, and we’ll deliver them right to your doorstep."
Sikong Jing responded with a hum, and then explained, "You can’t deliver them to my doorstep. Just take the Green Jade Paper to Commander Fan Zhong and have him bring it to me."
The entire courtyard was still surrounded; if the Luoshui Jade Line were to deliver thousands of Green Jade Papers, it would certainly reach the ears of Yan Ruyu.
So, they had to allow Fan Zhong to find an excuse to secretly bring them into the courtyard.
Following that, Sikong Jing slowly walked out of the warehouse. He saw Luo Shuizhe and also noticed the people from Luoshui Jade Line still kneeling on the ground, not yet recovered from their shock...
And of course, the twisted and horrific corpses of the Thunder Wing Trading House.
Sikong Jing asked with a frown, "Boss Luo, what’s going on here, how did these people die?"
He was, of course, aware of Luo Shuizhe’s arrival.
Although he had been focused on inscribing the Green Jade Plates earlier, he was alert in his heart, a habit formed on the battlefield. He simply hadn’t paid them any mind since they hadn’t done anything to endanger him.
But the scene outside the warehouse puzzled him. What was the deal with all these corpses?
As soon as he asked this question, both Luo Shuizhe and Luo Ning behind Sikong Jing twitched at the corners of their mouths. Weren’t these people scared to death alive by you?
We just sent out a distress call, didn’t you hear it?
"They’re from the Thunder Wing Trading House, they wanted to annex our Luoshui Jade Line," said Luo Shuizhe hesitantly, before finally explaining. Perhaps Sikong Jing didn’t know who the people outside were and had simply sensed their killing aura and blasted them dead.
"Oh, then carry on," Sikong Jing said, uninterested, and strode away.
As long as it wasn’t Yan Ruyu or the Lord of Yunzhou who had been sent to watch him, it didn’t matter. How they died was not his concern.
Watching Sikong Jing leave, the Luoshui Jade Line staff finally came to their senses, scrambling over to the Luo father and daughter.
Luo Ning’s mother asked, "My lord, who was that just now?"
"His face was covered in ash; he wouldn’t happen to not be human, would he?" another person inquired.
Because Sikong Jing had been covered in Green Jade Stone Powder from the warehouse, his face was currently unrecognizable.
Faced with these questions, Luo Ning and Luo Shuizhe exchanged looks.
"Of course he’s human, a terrifyingly supreme being, whose true identity we do not know."
"We only know that he descended from heaven and used our warehouse’s Green Jade Plates to inscribe 107 Emperor Grade Mid-level or higher Martial Skills," Luo Ning said.
Luo Shuizhe praised Sikong Jing inwardly for possibly pretending not to know about blasting the Thunder Wing Trading House people to death. It was likely done to avoid linking the incident to his identity.
Therefore, Luo Ning had found an excuse to keep it under wraps.
That would also explain the origin of the 107 Emperor Grade Green Jade Plates.
Upon hearing this, all the staff of Luoshui Jade Line were stunned, disbelievingly looking at Luo Shuizhe and his daughter.
Martial Skills of Emperor Grade Mid-level or higher—the very concept was not lost on them.
Luo Ning added, "Moreover, this senior has stated that we are to exchange 107 Emperor Grade Green Jade Plates for several thousand Green Jade Papers."
Buzz...
Everyone’s minds roared. So it was true that pies could fall from the sky.
