Chapter 577 - 575: You Can Continue Calling for Backup

Luo Tian and Jin Huai walked in front.

The wide-faced man and the gentle-looking woman prepared to leave, but they were stopped by the guards.

They could only enter, not retreat.

The two had no choice but to follow Luo Tian into the Cyan Armor Race’s residence.

’I hope we’ll be okay.’

The two of them placed all their hopes on Luo Tian.

Jin Huai led the three through pavilions and waterside gazebos, soon arriving at a grand and opulent hall.

Inside, it seemed they were entertaining honored guests. There were dancing girls, musicians, and all sorts of exotic delicacies.

Seated on both sides was a group of youths, all dressed lavishly and hailing from different races.

But it was clear that the gazes of the other youths were all fixed on a man with dark blue skin, their faces showing fawning smiles and a degree of caution.

"Jin Huai, you’re finally back."

"What was it? What made you leave in such a hurry? Come on, tell us."

A few of the young men spoke up.

Then, they saw the three humans Jin Huai had brought with him.

The man with the dark blue skin saw them too.

He raised an eyebrow, saying with some dissatisfaction, "I say, Jin Huai, even if you’re going to bring some human slaves for entertainment, you could have at least brought more women. What’s the deal with these two men?"

The other youths around them immediately grew tense.

"Jin Huai, hurry up and find some human women to accompany Lord Ju Huan," one of the young men said hurriedly.

They were all here at this banquet to keep Lord Ju Huan company.

If Ju Huan was displeased in any way, no one present could bear the consequences.

"Lord Ju Huan, these three are not slaves."

Jin Huai gave a faint smile and continued, "They’re here to settle a score."

The moment he said this, the gathering fell somewhat silent.

Even the dancing girls and musicians stopped their dancing and playing, looking at Luo Tian’s group in astonishment.

"Haha, settle a score?"

A few of the young men finally understood. Jin Huai had brought these three people here to put on a good show for Lord Ju Huan!

And that was indeed the truth.

Jin Huai had brought Luo Tian here so everyone could mock him, like watching a monkey perform.

Otherwise, Jin Huai would have just seized the gentle woman and chopped up the wide-faced man and Luo Tian to feed to his pets.

"Settle a score? Heh heh, what score do you want to settle?"

Ju Huan’s interest was piqued.

Three humans, coming to the Cyan Armor Race’s territory to settle a score... it was truly laughable.

’How can people be so stupid?’

"Does what you lot say even matter?" Luo Tian asked calmly.

"What I say naturally matters!" Ju Huan said, displeased.

’Is this person blind? Can’t he see my race? Can’t he recognize my status?’

"Lord Ju Huan’s words represent the will of the Cyan Armor Race," Jin Huai said with a smile.

The wide-faced man and the gentle woman were utterly astonished.

The Cyan Armor Race was a superpower in the Fish and Water Realm. They had never seen this Ju Huan before, yet his words could represent the entire race. It was unbelievable!

Furthermore, Jin Huai was the most doted-on grandson of a powerful Elder within the Cyan Armor Race, known for being conceited, arrogant, and rude. Yet here he was, actively fawning over and trying to please Ju Huan.

All the young people looked at Luo Tian with chuckles, wanting to see what kind of trick he would pull.

Or rather, they were anticipating how Ju Huan would toy with Luo Tian.

"I have come here to exterminate the upper echelon of the Cyan Armor Race!" Luo Tian’s expression was calm.

The moment he said this, everyone present was stunned.

The wide-faced man and the gentle woman were even more aghast, their faces pale with disbelief!

They only knew that Luo Tian was here to settle a score, thinking he meant to demand justice or something similar.

But for Luo Tian to want to exterminate the leaders of the Cyan Armor Race—that was tantamount to destroying the race itself!

The crucial thing was, Luo Tian was all alone. He hadn’t brought anyone else from the Tai Yuan Sect!

If they had known this was his plan, the two of them would have never followed him.

"Exterminate the upper echelon of the Cyan Armor Race? You’re not very old, but your arrogance is a hundred times greater than my own!"

A playful smile hung on Ju Huan’s lips.

’This human is too interesting. I have to play with him a little.’

"So, either have the leaders of the Cyan Armor Race get out here now, or I can go find them one by one!"

Luo Tian’s face was ice-cold.

The Cyan Armor Race wanted to destroy Dongchen, so he would destroy the Cyan Armor Race.

As for wiping out the entire race, that was too troublesome and time-consuming. Killing all of the Cyan Armor Race’s leaders would be enough to destroy their foundation.

"Heh heh!"

A few of the young men sneered.

Luo Tian was putting on a good act; at least his aura was impressive.

"You brat, I think there’s something wrong with your head! You want to exterminate the leaders of the Cyan Armor Race? Try and take three of my attacks first!"

A sturdy man stepped forward, filled with disdain.

He was the oldest one present, and his cultivation had reached the Earth Element Realm Seventh Layer. He was a genius among the Cyan Armor Race and was usually extremely belligerent.

"Three attacks?" Luo Tian glanced at the sturdy man.

"That’s right. Because there’s no way you’ll make me use a fourth."

The sturdy man’s face was proud and extremely confident.

Ju Huan didn’t speak, leaning back lazily in his chair, looking like he was waiting for a good show.

But the next moment!

WHOOSH! SLICE!

A turbulent gale erupted from the void, sweeping past the sturdy man.

His entire body was torn to pieces, and blood sprayed all over the ground!

A splash of blood even landed on Ju Huan’s clothes!

This sudden scene stunned everyone!

"AHH!"

The dancing girls and musicians screamed in terror, huddling to the side!

The group of youths all shot to their feet, their expressions grim and cold!

The sturdy man’s cultivation was at the Earth Element Realm Seventh Layer, the strongest among all of them, yet he had suddenly died right here!

No one had seen how Luo Tian attacked!

At this moment, everyone sized up Luo Tian carefully.

But they discovered they couldn’t see through his cultivation at all.

"You bastard! You actually dirtied my clothes!"

Ju Huan suddenly barked!

A member of the Cyan Armor Race had died right here, but he showed no sign of panic. Instead, he was enraged that his clothes had gotten dirty!

"How dare you! You actually dirtied Lord Ju Huan’s clothes! Men, seize this damn brat for me!"

Jin Huai roared!

His fellow clansman was dead, but Jin Huai couldn’t care less. He was more worried about Lord Ju Huan’s anger!

At the same time, Jin Huai felt a little regret.

He hadn’t expected Luo Tian to have some skill. It would be bad if Lord Ju Huan had been frightened.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

From within the Cyan Armor Race residence, twelve guards charged in. All of them had cultivation at the Middle Tier Earth Element Realm!

The leader, a middle-aged man from the Cyan Armor Race, had a cultivation that had even reached the Peak of Earth Element Realm Eighth Layer!

The twelve of them surrounded Luo Tian, and a murderous aura filled the air!

"Tie this man up! Then chop him up piece by piece! Make him watch his own fingers and toes get eaten by dogs!"

Lord Ju Huan ordered.

That earlier scene had made him feel a sense of danger.

He had actually been frightened by Luo Tian. This infuriated him, and he wanted to torture Luo Tian viciously!

The wide-faced man and his companion were already pale with fright, trembling uncontrollably.

But Luo Tian’s expression remained as calm as ever.

"Are these considered the leaders of the Cyan Armor Race?"

Luo Tian asked.

"You brat, still putting on an act! What are you waiting for? Tie him up for me!" Jin Huai snapped!

"Given the Cyan Armor Race’s current situation, these probably are their leaders."

Luo Tian said to himself.

"Go!"

"Get him!"

Among the twelve black-clothed guards surrounding them, six launched an attack while the other six took out chains, preparing to bind Luo Tian.

Luo Tian clasped his hands behind his back, feeling a little bored.

Suddenly, a whirlwind stirred before him, condensing into a white sword light wreathed in streams of air.

SLICE!

That whirlwind of sword light suddenly bloomed with a brilliant glow, spinning once around Luo Tian.

SHIIIIING—

The next instant, blood splattered, and twelve heads went rolling.

After the instant kill, Luo Tian lifted his gaze to Jin Huai, then glanced at Ju Huan. "You can keep calling people."

That way, he wouldn’t have to go looking for them one by one.

GASP!

Everyone around them sucked in a cold breath, a chill running down their spines.

This time, they saw how Luo Tian had attacked, but they still couldn’t determine his specific cultivation level.

But regardless, to be able to instantly kill twelve elite guards of the Cyan Armor Race in the blink of an eye, Luo Tian’s strength had to be at least at the Earth Element Realm Ninth Layer or higher.

So young, yet so powerful—he couldn’t possibly be a nobody!

"Luo Tian!" one of the young men shouted in surprise!

These young men were all decadent young masters from various major factions. They usually idled their time away, which was why they had only just now recognized Luo Tian.

If it had been the leaders of the Cyan Armor Race, they probably would have recognized him long ago.

"He’s Luo Tian? The peerless genius of the Tai Yuan Sect?"

"Not only that, but he also obtained thirty percent of the Thief King’s treasure!"

"I heard he has a record of defeating a Celestial Level Martial Artist."

The others immediately began to discuss amongst themselves.

So it was Luo Tian. No wonder he was so powerful!

The wide-faced man and his companion’s expressions eased slightly. Luo Tian was actually this strong; maybe they could escape this crisis after all.

"Hahaha, so you’re Luo Tian?"

A wild laugh suddenly rang out.

"It seems my luck is quite good! If I capture you and bring you back to the Sea Demon Palace, not only will I get one million Spiritual Essence Coins, but I might even make my great-grandfather look at me in a new light!"

Ju Huan’s expression was excited.

"No, your luck is terrible, because you won’t be returning to the Sea Demon Palace alive!" Luo Tian said coldly.

His hatred for the Sea Demon Palace surpassed his hatred for the Cyan Armor Race.

If Luo Tian had the ability right now, he would have already gone to find the Sea Demon Palace.

Since this Ju Huan was from the Sea Demon Palace, he had no reason to let him go.

"Is that so? Then give it a try!"

Ju Huan waved his hand.

SWISH! SWISH!

Two black shadows suddenly shot out from behind him—a man and a woman.

The moment they appeared, the great hall dimmed, the temperature plummeted, and a terrifying, oppressive aura spread out, making everyone shudder.

Their faces couldn’t be seen clearly, but their gazes were like icy daggers that no one dared to meet!

"These two... they seem to be the ’Life-taking Dual Swords’!"

"It’s really them! The once-famous Celestial Level assassins!"

The crowd was in awe of the assassins’ fame, and also incredibly envious of Ju Huan.

Those were Celestial Level Martial Artists! Normally, they were high and mighty figures one could only look up to!

What’s more, the Life-taking Dual Swords had been famous in the world of assassins for a decade. The number of people who had died at their hands was countless!

Such cold and cruel Celestial Level assassins were actually completely obedient and respectful towards Ju Huan.

"This person... could he be..."

A trace of horror appeared in the wide-faced man’s eyes, as if he had recognized Ju Huan’s identity!
