chapter 14 What can you do to me?

Inside the valley of the Profound Darkness Sect, a hundred-meter-high platform had been set up. Riggan sat in the middle, with three Heaven Rank experts from the Profound Darkness Sect on his left, an empty seat on his right, and then Steef and two Heaven Rank elders from the Seymour family. The flat ground in front of the platform was filled with chairs, which were now occupied by the people who had come to watch the ceremony. Among these people, there were families from all over Wimston Province and many more were martial artists. The number of people had already exceeded ten thousand and was still rapidly increasing. By ten o'clock in the morning, the number of people present had exceeded one hundred thousand! Riggan had been gloomy all along, but it was only now that he spoke up. "Has the person from the War God Palace not arrived yet?" A Heaven Rank elder laughed, "Sect Master, the Lord of the War God Palace is likely the legendary Divine Rank expert, it's no harm to wait a bit longer." Riggan snorted coldly, "Divine Rank is just a level in the legend, no one can confirm whether it exists or not." "In my opinion, the Lord of the War God Palace has at most touched the threshold of the Saint Rank!" Not far away, Gillespie, Nereus, and Indivar watched Riggan on the platform expressionlessly. A glint of killing intent flashed in Indivar's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "What about Saint Rank? In front of the War God, it's nothing more than an ant." Gillespie's eyes narrowed, "Third brother, you still have a trace of the War God's true qi in your body, do you think you have a chance to become a Saint Rank expert?" Indivar pondered for a moment, then nodded, "It's hard, but there's hope!" Upon hearing this, both Gillespie and Nereus had a hint of joy on their faces. At eleven o'clock in the morning, the gloomy weather suddenly cleared, and golden sunlight poured into the valley as if celebrating Riggan's ascension to Saint Rank expert. Riggan returned to his seat and slowly spoke, his voice echoing throughout the valley, "Seeing so many of you here to congratulate me on achieving Saint Rank, I am very gratified." "You all should know that the Lord of the War God Palace will also come to congratulate me in person today." "Since the people from the War God Palace haven't arrived yet, why don't we have a little interlude?" With that, Riggan pointed to the three people on his right, Steef. "Everyone can see that the three people on my right hand side are the head of the Seymour family and two elders from Shorysford City." "From now on, the Seymour family will be the spokesperson for my Profound Darkness Sect in the secular world. If anyone provokes the Seymour family in the future, they will be provoking my Profound Darkness Sect, and they will be provoking me, Riggan, a Saint Rank expert!" When Riggan spoke these words, he used his true qi, and his voice was like thunder, causing everyone in the valley to have headaches. "But there are some people who don't know when to stop!" Riggan suddenly snorted coldly, "Someone has captured the son of the head of the Seymour family. When I called him to let the person go, I was instead provoked." "He said on the phone yesterday that he wanted to destroy my Profound Darkness Sect as well." "Heh," Riggan sneered, "What a big mouth, in that case, I want to ask today, do you dare to show up now?!" As soon as he said this, the hundreds of thousands of people present were in an uproar. Who was it that was so bold as to threaten Saint Rank expert Riggan! Some people could see clearly that this was Riggan trying to establish his authority on the spot. "What, are you scared?" Riggan's eyes swept over the crowd, and everyone he looked at quickly lowered their heads, afraid that they would be mistaken for the person who had provoked Riggan. At this moment, Steef rose from his seat and walked to the front of the platform. While searching for Atius' Shadow in the crowd, he growled, "Little brat, you dare not show up, do you?" "If your father had been a coward like you back then, he might not have died so miserably!" Seeing that Atius still didn't show up, Steef suddenly took out a small copper gourd from his bosom, about the size of a baby's fist. Steef laughed wildly, "Little brat, do you know what's inside this?" "This is the ashes of your parents!" "I had them ground into powder and put it in here, and I roast it with fire every day. I want them to be restless even in the underworld!" Silence! Only Steef's voice echoed in the entire valley. The hundreds of thousands of people present all looked at Steef with shocked faces. Feuds in the martial arts world, life and death hatreds were all very normal. But like Steef, to grind people into ashes, it was too cruel. Seeing that Atius still didn't show up, Steef's face darkened. That little brat was probably making a fool of him, and he wasn't here at all today. Just as Steef was about to sit down with a gloomy face, a cry of horror came from the crowd. "Dad, save me, save me, I don't want to die!!" The crowd parted to make way, and Fulbright, covered in blood, was seen rolling and crawling towards the platform. Steef stood at the edge of the platform, seeing his son covered in wounds, he was instantly filled with rage. "Dad! Save me!" Fulbright's face was smeared with snot and tears, and he fell trembling to the ground, with fresh blood continuously flowing from his body. It looked like he wouldn't last long. Steef leaped down from the hundred-meter-high platform and looked at his son's injuries. He immediately placed his hand on Fulbright's back and infused his true qi into his body, trying to protect his heart meridian. Fulbright immediately felt all the pain in his body disappear, and a smile of relief appeared on his face. "Dad, you must help me get revenge..." "Bang!!" Before Fulbright could finish his sentence, his body exploded into a cloud of blood mist. Blood flowed down Steef's clothes, and he stood there in a daze for a while before he finally reacted. "Ah!!!" Steef's eyes were blood-red, and he suddenly threw a punch. The fierce wind from his punch instantly blew away several dozen people standing directly in front of him. "Little brat, roll out for me, roll out!" Steef's eyes were about to split, and he roared as he charged into the crowd, swinging his fists continuously, and the people around him were instantly blown away. "Get out here, I'm going to skin you and pull your tendons!" The crowd around Steef quickly dispersed, revealing a large open space. A cold voice rang out from the crowd, "Steef, does it feel good to lose your loved ones?" The crowd quickly parted, creating a path between Steef and Atius. The onlookers admired Atius, even if they thought he was courting death, they had to admire his courage. Atius glanced at Steef and chuckled, "The Seymour family of Shorysford City, right?" "A Heaven Rank expert, right?" "Do you have Riggan as your backing?" A sneer appeared on Atius's face, and he didn't hide the murderous intent in his eyes, "Now I am standing in front of you, what can you do to me?" "Beast!" Steef roared and yelled at the members of the Seymour family nearby, "Kill him for me!" More than a hundred members of the Seymour family immediately rushed towards Atius. Among them were masters of the Peak Earth Rank, who used vicious and ruthless moves as soon as they made their move. Just as their attacks were about to hit Atius, a great blade light came slashing, instantly cutting across the bodies of more than a hundred members of the Seymour family. Limbs and arms flew about, scaring the onlookers pale. Looking at the hefty man holding a blade who had suddenly appeared, Steef's pupils contracted, "Mr. Granville, you are one of the leaders of the Red Dragon Kingdom's national army, a peak expert of the Heaven Rank, and you are actually helping the tyrant!" Perseus's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he said coldly, "At this moment, I am not a leader, but just an ordinary member of the War God Palace, Perseus!" As Perseus's voice echoed throughout the valley, strong auras rose to the sky from the crowd! A man covered in scars landed behind Atius and said coldly, "War God Palace, Heaven Rank member, Friedrich Schofield!" A figure over two meters tall walked out of the crowd, his body exuding an evil Qi that reached the sky, "War God Palace, Heaven Rank member, Tezcacoatl Lewis!" More figures walked out from the crowd, lining up neatly behind Atius, "War God Palace, Heaven Rank member, Mistral Lee!" "War God Palace, Heaven Rank member, Karik Colter!" "War God Palace, Kaladin!" The Heaven Rank experts of the War God Palace who appeared were stronger than the last. By the end, each one was a peak existence of the Heaven Rank. The tens of thousands of people present watched this scene in shock. Fifty, the War God Palace had actually brought a full fifty Heaven Rank experts, and each one was stronger than Steef. Suddenly, the valley began to tremble! Then there were uniform rumbling footsteps from all directions. The tens of thousands of people present looked up to see figures appearing at the top of the cliff. They were wearing the black standard combat uniforms of the War God Palace, standing shoulder to shoulder, like an unbreakable black wall. The golden sunlight shone on them, casting huge shadows that instantly enveloped the entire valley. Each of them emanated a powerful aura, majestic, solemn, and terrifying! The number was at least over a hundred thousand! They just stood at the top of the cliff, surrounding the entire valley, silently looking down at everyone. In the next second. There was a roar from the horizon. Hundreds of armed helicopters flew in formation, blocking the entire sky above the valley. The thick gun barrels aimed at the valley, and the breath of death instantly filled everyone's hearts. Atius looked at Steef without expression, but a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Steef, didn't you want to kill me?" "Take action, why are you trembling?" Steef was trembling all over, and he roared in terror, "Who are you?!" "Who am I?" Atius chuckled, "Tell him, who am I!" At the top of the cliff, tens of thousands of members of the War God Palace raised their arms and shouted, "Lord Godly Might!" "Lord Godly Might!" The roar echoed in the valley, shaking everyone's hearts.
