Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 198 Almost Forgot, You Don’t Have a Home Anymore!
The words had barely faded when a Flying Ship appeared to the left of the mobile villa. A young man took a single step out of it, appearing directly in the front yard. His arrogance was boundless.
Seeing him, Chu Mingfeng, who stood opposite, had a strange look appear in his eyes as he whispered, "A remnant of the Kong Family. Truly courting death."
Aboard the mobile villa, the young man spotted Ning Xuan. After a moment of surprise, his face lit up with delight, and he sneered, "This young master was originally prepared to lie in wait for you at the Heavenly Palace. I never thought I’d run into you on the way! Perfect. The family feud will be settled right now!"
The young man’s gaze was as sharp as a hawk’s, and he looked at Ning Xuan as if he were already a dead man. At the same time, several gazes locked onto Ning Xuan, originating from the Flying Ship that had just appeared.
Ning Xuan’s expression remained placid as he asked, "How many Heavenly Crystals do you have on you?"
Kong Zhong was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage. This bastard must be mocking me! Ning Xuan had burned his family’s ancestral land and looted their Secret Vault. And now, the scoundrel had the audacity to ask how many Heavenly Crystals he had? This was outrageous!
"Ning Xuan, do you know who I am?!" the young man roared, his anger surging as his hair whipped about wildly.
"A remnant of which family, was it?"
The young man answered instinctively, "The Kong Family!"
Ning Xuan feigned realization. "Ah, that’s right. The Kong Family remnant."
"Damn you! How dare you humiliate me like this?"
As the young man prepared to attack, Ning Xuan quickly held up a hand. "Hold on! Let’s get things straight, shall we? I’m not the one who said that!"
Ning Xuan looked utterly wronged. He refused to be a scapegoat.
"Then who was so bold?!"
Ning Xuan looked over at Chu Mingfeng.
Chu Mingfeng’s face turned green. Why must you be so treacherous! I have nothing to do with this! Don’t you dare try to drag me down with you!
Kong Zhong turned his hostile gaze toward Chu Mingfeng. At the same time, two gazes from his Flying Ship also fell upon Chu Mingfeng.
Chu Mingfeng’s heart skipped a beat. Those gazes are terrifying! These people must be the true powerhouses of the Kong Family! They must be acting as his guardians! That must be why the Kong Family let Ning Xuan succeed before.
However, Chu Mingfeng showed no outward reaction. As the second-ranked of the Ten Clans, the Chu Family naturally had its own foundation and confidence.
"You must be Kong Zhong. Take my advice: don’t provoke him. He’s an existence you can’t afford to offend! This isn’t an attempt to sow discord; it’s a heartfelt warning!"
That was fair enough, Chu Mingfeng thought. At least Ning Xuan didn’t react negatively to his words.
Kong Zhong was not pleased. "The Chu Family, is it? Let me offer you some advice as well: mind your own business!"
He paused, and though his tone softened, his next words were dripping with arrogance. "Because people who like to meddle in others’ affairs usually don’t live very long."
His words were a blatant threat.
Aboard the Chu Family’s Flying Ship, everyone was stunned. This guy is unbelievably arrogant! It had been a long time since their family had been threatened so openly.
A few of them felt a chill in their hearts. Kong Zhong is no fool, otherwise he wouldn’t have so many experts protecting him. More importantly, he recognized Ning Xuan at a glance, which means he must have heard about Ning Xuan’s heaven-defying deeds. He was still acting so recklessly, and the experts on the Flying Ship were letting him. This could only mean that he possessed a powerful trump card!
Thinking this, many of them adopted a spectator’s mindset, choosing to watch the show unfold from the sidelines.
Even Chu Mingfeng simply chuckled, not the least bit angry. He nodded with a smile. "You’re right. I’ll keep that in mind."
This guy’s a dead man walking. Why waste my breath arguing with him? I’m not that foolish.
Chu Mingfeng looked at Ning Xuan, his eyes filled with anticipation. I was just scammed out of a million Heavenly Crystals and my heart is still aching. And now someone serves himself up on a platter! Ning Xuan, what are you waiting for? Scam him!
Ning Xuan felt helpless. The Chu Family members are all too clever. My plan to reap the rewards of their conflict has failed. Fine. Gains without effort are shameful. Honest labor is the most glorious path!
"Remnant, are you already going deaf at such a young age? You still haven’t answered my question."
Hearing this, Chu Mingfeng wanted to clap and cheer. What a guy! He maxed out the taunt meter with a single sentence!
"What did you say?!"
The remnant—that is, Kong Zhong—spun to face Ning Xuan, his rage boiling over.
"I asked how many Heavenly Crystals you have. This mobile villa doesn’t receive male guests, especially not ones with no upbringing... Oh, I almost forgot. You don’t have a home anymore."
Ning Xuan feigned a sudden realization.
Instantly, he felt as if needles were pricking his back. The killing intent was bursting forth from the Kong Family experts on the Flying Ship.
"You’re courting death!"
A furious roar echoed as a loud sound erupted.
BANG! 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Kong Zhong attacked in a rage, moving with incredible speed. But as quickly as he charged, he retreated even faster.
Ning Xuan had sent him flying out of the mobile villa with a single punch.
"A decent punch. But are you trying to tickle me?" Kong Zhong asked, hovering in the void and looking down on Ning Xuan.
The members of the Chu Family looked on in shock. Even we could feel the terrifying pressure and impact from that punch, yet this guy is unharmed?! He has indeed mastered something extraordinary.
Ning Xuan didn’t reply, but his calm gaze made Kong Zhong feel deeply uneasy. He had the bizarre sensation that all of his secrets were about to be laid bare before Ning Xuan.
He made a swift decision. The mysterious texture that had appeared on his skin vanished in an instant. This was his greatest reliance, the source of his confidence to face Ning Xuan so directly. Although he didn’t believe anyone could decipher it, he understood the principle that a treasure invites covetous eyes. For that reason, he hadn’t even told those closest to him.
"Things are getting interesting. Looks like I’ll get to stretch my muscles today," Ning Xuan murmured, stepping directly out of the mobile villa.
He strode through the void, walking on air! This was an ability of a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist.
BANG!
Without any fancy moves, Ning Xuan threw another punch. This time, a prepared Kong Zhong tried to dodge, but still failed.
Yet, he was still unharmed.
Instantly, all the gazes locked on Ning Xuan were withdrawn. Their last shred of worry for Kong Zhong vanished. Some even shot a provocative glance toward the Chu Family’s Flying Ship.
With a prodigy like this in the Kong Family, the upcoming Ten Clans competition will surely be our greatest opportunity to rise! When the time comes, we will inevitably trample the so-called top geniuses of the top families under our feet! So what if our ancestral land was destroyed? As long as Kong Zhong is here, as long as we are here, the Kong Family will endure!
"Hahaha! Ning Xuan, you bastard! You can’t do a thing to your grandpa!" the uninjured Kong Zhong roared, ecstatic. The Rune I obtained... it’s a true Divine Pattern! The power in Ning Xuan’s fists is terrifying, enough to obliterate an average King Realm Martial Artist, but the Rune in my body can absorb all of the energy! What else could this be but a Divine Pattern?!
Only Ning Xuan, whose eyes had gleamed for a moment, shook his head and sighed. I thought I was about to master another Secret Divine Technique, but this is a huge disappointment. He realized the patterns on Kong Zhong’s body possessed such a heaven-defying ability only because they were overdrawing his life potential. That wasn’t a Divine Pattern; it was a heretical, demonic art! It was a Demonic Rune
