Chapter 417: Cerberus' Breakthrough!
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
The Zeng Clan elders spent most of their time in secluded cultivation, and very rarely came out to handle the clan matters. Everything was handed to the Evolved Jing juniors to run.
But even after hearing about Mystic One's battle records, they were actually not very worried about it. The person leading the group was a Xiantian late stage expert. He was also from a powerful clan and had access to top-tier martial techniques and resources. He could similarly kill a dozen ordinary primary stage Xiantian experts by himself.
As for the Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert behind this girl, their Zeng Clan also had an expert of the same level behind them. In addition, the fault of the matter lay with Mystic One and the incident had happened in their clan, on their home ground. This matter was no different from smacking the Zeng Clan in the face.
If they let the matter rest and did not pursue it, how will the other large clans here view the Zeng Clan? Would everyone also think it was okay to follow the example and do whatever they liked in their territory?
These five Zeng Clan Xiantian elders were all aged figures over the age of 100. Put simply, they all had a stubborn bone in them. The pride in their bones was still stuck in the glory of the Zeng Clan from a hundred years ago!
To them, the pride of the clan was more important than anything. It was naturally not something that they could allow outsiders to trample on.
"You want us to give you an explanation? Even your Zeng Clan old patriarch would not dare to speak to me like that!"
Mystic One looked at the Cerberus again. Seeing that it was only somewhat lethargic and was otherwise fine, she looked up and stared at the group of people before her with annoyance.
When the Zeng Clan elder heard Mystic One's words, his face turned ugly. With a cold snort, he raised his hand and signaled the other elders. "Hmph! We'll bring you back first. Lord Bei Feng can come and fetch you all back later!"
Bai Xiang also raised his head and looked over before closing his eyes with disinterest. This bunch of idiots actually dared to come to piss Mystic One off with just their strength? Truly a bunch of people who couldn't tell between life and death.
'Mystic One's strength is improving really quickly. Although it has much to do with boss's large stock of precious resources, the fact that she was able to break through to the Controlled Dan realm within a short ten-plus years means that Mystic One's talent is also top-tier!' Bai Xiang thought quietly to himself.
Right now, Mystic One's strength was not inferior to his, with the chances of victory and defeat split 50/50 between them. But against normal primary stage Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts, her chances of victory were as high as 70 percent!
"They're gonna fight!"
"There will surely be a good show to see this time. But the way I see it, the two sides will stop fighting in the end. After all, there are Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts behind both. Although Lord Bei Feng had only broken through to the Controlled Dan realm not long ago, his battle power is not inferior to those old cannons'."
The crowd discussed animatedly, their eyes not leaving the scene.
Mystic One only glanced at the five people moving towards her and moved her body. Like a crimson snake, she appeared right before the five people!
In the eyes of the crowd, she seemed to have split into five parts, sending a blow at each of the five elders at the same time!
"Pu!"
"Bam!"
Time seemed to have stopped for a second, and then resumed with increased momentum. The five elders seemed to have been hit by a truck and flew backwards, smashing heavily into the crowd!
As for Mystic One, she was still sitting at the table as if she had never moved!
"Si!"
"So powerful! Is that the true strength of the Crimson Witch?"
"Five Xiantian Lords had been defeated in an instant? What a terrifying battle power!"
Most of the people present were Evolved Jing masters or the geniuses of large clans. There was no lack of Xiantian Lords here as well.
Some of the more observant Xiantian experts not only saw Mystic One defeating the five Zeng Clan elders in a single strike. They also noticed the strength of those elders! There was a Xiantian late stage expert, two Xiantian middle stage experts, and two primary stage Xiantian Lords. This minor detail displayed Mystic One's strength even more clearly!
"This girl is already a Fake Dan expert!"
"There's no mistake, even a peak level Xiantian expert would not be able to defeat a late stage Xiantian Lord without even allowing the latter a chance to react!"
The surrounding Xiantian experts whispered while shock filled their hearts.
Many among the younger generation geniuses of the various large families were even more so shocked, following which a fiery passion filled their eyes. A country-toppling beauty like that who also possessed such powerful strength and talent... if they managed to marry her, them and their clans would soar to the sky in a single step!
But when they thought further about Mystic One's ruthless and cruel actions, along with the terrifying backer of hers, everyone's faces turned slightly pale as they cursed themselves secretly for being too blinded by greed to think this way.
"Hou!"
Before the crowd could react, the Cerberus which was lying on the ground suddenly raised its heads and let out a shocking roar!
"Peng!"
"Peng, peng!"
Most of the glasses in the area directly shattered from the sound wave, and many people were pushed backwards with a pale face.
Bei Feng's brows froze for a moment and he instantly vanished from the yard.
The other Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts also looked up in shock, and they vanished from the spot as well.
Outside, the Cerberus had gotten up. Its body was trembling lightly as a powerful savage aura surged from it's body!
The savage aura was extremely condensed, causing one to wonder just how many lives had been taken to form such an aura!
This aura was something that the Cerberus had formed after killing countless people and creatures in its original world. Although it had been suppressed by Bei Feng after it came to Earth, and its personality had also been polished, this savage aura which was formed with the blood of countless murders would not be dissipated by the flow of time!
When the aura burst out, it reached a degree of shocking heavens and shaking earth!
"What an intense savage aura! Just how many lives have this dog taken?!"
"This is a Greater Demon!"
The people in the yard all felt a deep chill in their hearts. Some of the Xiantian experts that had gone through some rough times and chaotic periods were still fine. But as for the majority who had enjoyed a life of peace and modern luxury, when have they ever encountered such a terrifying savage aura and killing intent before?
The image of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood appeared in the minds of those that the savage aura swept over. The illusion was so strong that many people could not differentiate between it and reality, to a point where they could even smell the putrid stench of blood in their noses!
The Cerberus's body ballooned up with a speed visible to the naked eye. In just an instant, a 15 meter tall, 30 meter long creature appeared in the manor. Its three heads were raised proudly high in the sky, surveying the world in disdain!
The Cerberus's body was even bigger than in its original world. For Demonic Beasts, under the same rank, the larger their bodies, the greater their strength. That was because they could store more energy in their bodies!
With the Cerberus's current strength, ordinary primary stage Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts were not its match at all. Even middle stage Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts might not be able to defeat it. The moment the Cerberus broke through, even if it had only broken through a minute ago, it would already have enough strength to proclaim itself as the absolute overlord among middle stage Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts and below!
The Cerberus's aura seemed to have no inhibitions, rising rapidly without limit! The air around it also began to ripple unceasingly.
Some among the crowd who only had the cultivation at the Evolved Jing realm were directly pushed back and forced to vomit a mouthful of blood. There was no need for the Cerberus to do anything. Just its aura was enough to steamroll over Evolved Jing masters!
'The Cerberus is breaking through?!'
Mystic One had not expected that the Cerberus would actually choose to break through at this time. In that moment, her body rose into the air as she acted as the Cerberus's protector!
Bai Xiang was the same. Numerous three-cun-long swords burst out of the ground and appeared beside the Cerberus's body!
"Ao!"
A frightening voice rang out, and the sound wave blasted outwards. Countless unsecured objects and wine bottles dropped onto the ground and shattered into pieces. In that roar, the Cerberus sounded like it was wrecked with pain!
