Lord Shadow

Chapter 1324 One Finger

The Hanging Head might not be such a law abiding business but it still something that is not entirely evil. 

They usually give warning and persuade people who could not afford to buy the information not to buy anything. 

If you don’t want to buy information, you could simply come to the Hanging Head and drink your sorrows away. 

For all the bad rep it got, most of the fault lies in the buyer.

After all, if people got the information and not pay, what face and reputation would be left for the Hanging Head tavern?

They had to take actions. 

And most of the time, the actions taken against buyers who could fulfil the other side of the deal is very brutal. 

Because in the crime world, if you do not do such a thing people would be thinking that you got soft.

And the moment you let people think that you are getting soft, then hyenas would began circling.

So, even though the Hanging Head could be a nice place to relax and drink away the fatigue of the day, the people also knows that there are things that you must not do. 

There are certain lines that you must not cross. Gabe was giving advice with a kind heart, hoping the old man would know his limits.

But, from the old man words, it seems like the old man is seeking trouble or maybe some spy of other factions in the city

Gabe then come forward closer toward the old man and his body began emanating a certain aura. Everyone who is below Seed Forming feel suffocated. 

Gabe is a Disk Formation leveler. And he is almost approaching the pinnacle of Disk Formation realm 

And the aura he emanated was the aura of bloodlust. 

Even though he is simply one of the enforcer of the Hanging Head, he used to be a great figure in the past. 

He could tell that this old man is trying to mess around with the tavern. Of course, Azief was not doing this to humiliate the tavern or trying to mess around with them

In this world, any forces could not afford being played around by Death Monarch. But this is the difference in position.

Azief did not understand the underlying circumstances of this tavern and what it means to ask that question. Hanging Head does sell information.

But there is some information that they did not sell. 

To people who wanted to buy information from Hanging Head, they usually know what kind of information that they wanted to buy, and they also usually know what kind of information that they must not buy or inquire.

Azief did not know this unspoken rule. 

Usually Gabe would not simply act aggressive. 

But that is only exclusive to Outworlders. 

Outworlders don’t know these kind of unspoken rule

But Outworlders has a different kind of aura from the people of Earth prime. 

The old man is clearly not an Outworlder so, the only reason why the old man would ask such a question is to provoke the Hanging Head Tavern 

Gabe did not say much. 

After all, this provocation could not be let go. 

He doesn’t know where this old man come from, but there is no sign at all that this old man is powerful.

And if this old man came from the city, then this old man luck is bad. 

Even though Hanging Head is not exactly the strongest force in the city, it still ranks around the top. 

So, when he reaches close enough for his fit to reach Azief face, he swings his fist toward Azief

The formation that is embedded on every tiles and every fiber of walls in the second floor lights up. This is without a doubt a shock absorbent, an energy absorbent properties wall

Gabe seems to have anticipated this and instead focus the explosive energy to the tips of his finger and from that envelop his entire fist with infuriating energy.

Azief only need to take a glance to see that the fist seems to contains powerful offensive energy. 

This kind of method which uses the bloodlust condensed into an attack is not rare. 

However, Azief and Katarina look down on it. 

Katarina could also see the attack but like Azief, she disdains to even try to block it. If not for the fact that she simply didn’t care, she could blow cold air from her mouth and froze this person into a block of ice. 

He knows for a fact that Azief could easily handle it. Even one of the generals of Boris would have more offensive power than this person. 

It is only outside of the influence of the Seven Great Powers, that these people could run amok. It is like a small dragon flee from their land to settle in a land of snakes.

Of course, they appear to be powerful. But, in the land of dragons, that dragon is merely the weakest.

That is how she would like to describe this person called Gabe. He could posture and show off in the land of snakes but when he met a true dragon, then the only possible conclusion is to be dominated one-sidedly

If this person is compared to some of the generals or even vice generals of the military of the Seven great powers, then this person could not compare at all. 

Most of the people under the Seven Great Powers would be offered up with many resources and so when they break through they are very stable. 

Azief could see that even though this enforcer of this tavern had the cultivation of Disk Formation, and almost reaching Divine Comprehension, Azief knew for sure that this person could never break through to Divine Comprehension unless he abolishes all of his energy and start again.

  The reason is simple. 

He pursues speed instead of quality. 

Azief could tell that this person must have rushed during the Seed Forming realm and broke through to Disk Formation quickly and did not strengthen the foundation.

  As such, the Laws that he comprehended is not many. 

And the foundation is not stable. 

Azief could be sure that if he does try to break through, he would fail midway and become something that is not entirely Disk Formation but not a Divine Comprehension leveler either

He would be stuck in that two states and the only solution is to disperse the energy back and starts from the beginning. 

Of course, understanding many Laws did not mean you would be a great figure. 

After all, there are people like Jean, Katarina and Hikigaya who focused only one law and go to the extreme with it and they still become a great figure in the world

But, this case is different. 

The reason why those three people only practices one law, is because they pursue the extremities of the Laws that they had comprehended

They found their Grand Path and they are walking with conviction toward that path.

There is a certain quality to it compared to this person who simply seek to quickly raise their realm. 

Even a Seed Forming cultivator who had sturdy foundation could fight against this Disk Formation leveler and win.

At the least, they could run away and survives. 

Compared that to Azief. 

If there is a Seed Forming leveler fighting against him who was in Disk Formation, then that Seed Forming leveler would not survive the battle. 

Because when Azief was in Disk Formation, he had enough strength and energy to even fight against Divine Comprehension leveler. 

Azief thought of all of this even as the fist is coming near his face.

  All it takes him was one second to determine the enemy ability. Azief did not seem like he was going to dodge.

  There is no need for him to dodge it. But for the people around them who is looking at this, they all thought that the old man could not win because he was afraid.

Some even shouted “No” to the enforcer but then their No stopped. 

’How is this possible!’ one of them suddenly exclaims. 

’This…. this’

Everybody was shocked. 

When Gabe swings his fist, filled with bloodlust and the energy that seems to be able to render heaven and Earth apart, everyone thought that the old man head would be smashed like a watermelon.

BOOOM!

  A powerful shockwave blasted all over the second floor. 

The second floor itself is vast because the entire floor is installed with space-altering formations. 

There is a lot of people on the second floor of the tavern. 

And so there is many chairs and tables.

The shockwave was so impactful that a few hundred tables flew backward and crushed under the pressure. 

But what they see was that the old man simply stops that fist that is heading toward his face with one finger. 

One finger!
