Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 144: Wait, Can We Fight Him?

Kong Xia clenched his fists, his body trembling slightly. But he dared not show any reaction. Although both were counted among the Ten Great Families, his Kong Family was merely at the bottom of the list.

Challenge the authority of the Wu Family? He wouldn’t dare.

Immediately, he vented all his rage on Kong Sifang. "I sent you for revenge, and you’re here learning fist techniques from the enemy! Do you want our Kong Family to become the laughingstock of the entire Cloud Summit Heavenly Palace?!" As Kong Xia spoke, he began to punch and kick Kong Sifang. He was truly infuriated.

"Can you all keep it down! If you want to fight, go do it somewhere else!" Sun Zhu frowned, quite annoyed. He was having a good time learning the fist techniques, and these pricks just had to come and disturb him.

If not for the fear that his Big Brother would find him too violent, with his usual temperament, he would have restored his cultivation and crushed these pricks!

Kong Xia exploded with rage. "Scram! Who the hell do you think you are? You dare meddle in the Kong Family’s affairs?!"

He couldn’t provoke the Wu Family, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t provoke some half-breed, right?! Did they really think the Kong Family was a pushover that anyone could bully?!

Kong Sifang was terrified and hurriedly warned, "Xia..."

"Shut your damn mouth! Look at what you’ve done! Did a donkey kick you in the head?! Those two are half-breeds at the Human Realm, and you all suppressed your own realms to match them! What if they... Mmmph... Mmmph..."

Kong Sifang clamped a hand over Kong Xia’s mouth, his own eyes wide with fear as he glanced at Sun Zhu and Ning Xuan.

"Half-breeds, Human Realm... Very good," Sun Zhu said, his tone leaving no room for argument. "Let go of him. I’ll practice with him."

Kong Sifang unsteadily released his grip.

Kong Xia stared at Sun Zhu with a cold sneer. "Heh, you brought this on yourself! I won’t be suppressing my realm!"

Sun Zhu shrugged. "No problem. I won’t be raising my realm either."

Kong Sifang sighed in relief. Kong Xia is at the Fourth Layer Heavens of the Heavenly Realm. If this senior doesn’t raise his realm, the outcome is still uncertain!

"I’ll defeat you in one punch!" Kong Xia stepped forward and beckoned to Sun Zhu with an arrogant hook of his finger. He had to be arrogant; he had to uphold the honor of the Kong Family!

Sun Zhu didn’t say a word, only staring at him with a smile.

Kong Xia let out a loud shout and threw a ferocious punch. He held nothing back, unleashing his full power!

Kong Sifang let out a slow breath. Because Kong Xia possesses an Innate Body! With this strike, he has used his Bloodline Power! Using the full force of his Bloodline Power at the Fourth Layer Heavens of the Heavenly Realm... no one at the Human Realm could possibly be his match!

However...

BOOM!

After a single punch, Kong Xia was sent flying backward, spitting blood.

The three members of the Kong Family stared with wide eyes. Even Sun Yulong was startled. He was aware of Kong Xia’s physique and knew he had just used Bloodline Power in that punch. After all, his own physique was also one of the thirty great Innate Bodies. He knew very well whether it had been used or not.

Wu Mian’s eyes narrowed. Although he wasn’t a Martial Artist, he knew Kong Xia’s last punch had been terrifying. And yet, it was still not enough. This guy has some real skills!

The King Realm powerhouses in the back were also stunned. No one had expected Kong Xia to be unable to withstand a single punch.

"Big Brother, this fist technique is incredible!" Sun Zhu didn’t even glance at his defeated opponent, immediately hopping over to Ning Xuan’s side and winking. He was overjoyed.

"Nine-Layered Forces. Not bad," Ning Xuan said, nodding before shaking his head. "But it’s still not enough."

After scratching his head, Sun Zhu nodded vigorously. "Right, Big Brother! I’ll keep working hard!"

At this, the gazes of all the newcomers focused on Ning Xuan.

Who the hell is this guy? He’s so damn pretentious!

"You two, come on out and practice!" Sun Zhu looked at Wu Mian and Sun Yulong, gesturing for them to make a move.

"Heh. I’m not an idiot like Kong Xia. I have men, so there’s no need for me to act personally," Sun Yulong sneered. "As for him," he gestured toward Ning Xuan, "you aren’t even qualified for him to spare you a glance!"

Wu Mian smiled. This was precisely why he’d been willing to come along—Sun Yulong’s words were music to his ears!

Seeing Sun Yulong’s smug expression as he spoke, Ning Xuan’s face turned odd. Unexpectedly, Sun Yulong noticed and pointed directly at Ning Xuan, ordering his men, "What are you all waiting for? Seize that prick of a ’Big Brother’! With my worthy brother, Wu Mian, here, who does he think he is, putting on such airs?!"

Instantly, two King Realm powerhouses with terrifying auras stepped forward.

Kong Sifang, who had caught Kong Xia, whispered something in his ear. Kong Xia, who had been playing dead, immediately snapped his head up.

Ning Xuan asked with a smile, "You think you can do whatever you want just because you have a King Realm cultivation?"

"Of course! In a moment, I’ll pry open your damn mouth and find out how you killed my brother. Then I, Sun Yulong, will repay you tenfold, a hundredfold!"

Suddenly, Sun Zhu appeared, blocking Sun Yulong’s line of sight and staring down the two King Realm experts. "A King Realm cultivation lets you do as you please? Come on, let’s practice!"

As his words fell, a terrifying aura surged from his body. The Majestic Pressure of the Emperor Realm was revealed for all to see.

The smile on Sun Yulong’s face froze, and his two men halted abruptly. Now they finally understood why the Kong Family’s Martial Artists had agreed to suppress their cultivation.

Emperor Realm... how could they possibly fight that?!

Wu Mian, who had been feeling fortunate for coming along just moments ago, was now instantly filled with regret. Damn it all! I’m a Dao Xuan Master! I might be able to hold my own against a King Realm Martial Artist, but against an Emperor Realm expert, I don’t stand a chance!

"Wait! We can suppress our cultivation realms, too!" Sun Yulong reacted quickly, immediately begging for mercy.

At the same realm, we can use a war of attrition to wear him down! But a King Realm against an Emperor Realm? We can’t afford to provoke him! Besides, I’m a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist and Wu Mian is a Dao Xuan Master whose strength is equivalent to the Heavenly Realm. If an Emperor Realm Martial Artist attacked us, the outcome would be decided in an instant!

Sun Zhu asked, "Really?"

Sun Yulong nodded repeatedly. "Yes! Absolutely!"

Sun Zhu was about to suppress his realm again when Sun Yulong hesitated for a moment before looking at Ning Xuan. He said through gritted teeth, "Wait, can we fight him instead?"

That guy defeated Kong Xia with a single punch while at the Human Realm. Unless I have a screw loose, I’m definitely not choosing to fight him! As for everything we heard and that so-called spar we witnessed from a distance, it was clearly all just an act put on by this Emperor Realm powerhouse!

"Are you sure?" Sun Zhu’s expression was somewhat strange.

Sun Yulong nodded continuously.

Sun Zhu hesitated for a moment, then looked toward Ning Xuan.

Sun Yulong’s eyes brightened. Indeed, my choice was correct!

"Alright, I was thinking of stretching my muscles anyway."

Sun Zhu watched Ning Xuan step forward. He opened his mouth to speak but then held back. He wanted to ask his Big Brother to leave a few for him. But on second thought, he decided against it. He shouldn’t spoil his Big Brother’s fun!

This time, everyone on Sun Yulong’s side saw Sun Zhu’s reaction and breathed a collective sigh of relief.

"This... senior," Wu Mian asked uneasily, "if we win, we can leave safely, right?" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Without any hesitation, Sun Zhu nodded in agreement.

"Go!" Sun Yulong waved his hand, and immediately one of his men who had suppressed his realm charged forward.

BANG!

Ning Xuan threw a punch. The man’s right arm exploded, and his body burst into a cloud of blood as he was sent flying backward.

"Next," Ning Xuan’s indifferent voice rang out.

On Sun Yulong’s side, everyone whipped their heads toward him, completely dumbfounded.
