Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 713 Nangong Li
Chapter 713: Chapter 713 Nangong Li
"Seeing your expression change, you should know about Nangong Zheng." The young man in white said with a slight smile, looking very confident.
Shi Hao did not conceal anything and nodded, "Indeed, I have seen him."
"The last time, where was it?" the young man in white asked.
Shi Hao spread his hands, "In this place, how can I distinguish north, south, east, and west?"
"I have a miniature model of the Ancient World here. Compare it," the young man in white said, spreading his hands to reveal a three-dimensional star chart in front of him.
"We are here, this is the Heavenly Palace, this is the War God Statue." He pointed them out one by one, "Now you should have a rough idea of the direction."
Shi Hao smiled, "I met Nangong Zheng right there at the War God Statue."
The young man in white frowned. He naturally knew that Nangong Zheng had appeared at the War God Statue, as he had already heard from others; however, Nangong Zheng had vanished after that, which was what he really wanted to know.
"Then I have imposed on you," he said to Shi Hao with a smile, appearing very graceful.
Having said that, he took a step and was already far away.
Shi Hao watched curiously, as the young man in white seemed to have come specifically for Nangong Zheng.
However, what kind of grudge was this, that he would chase him all the way to the Mortal Realm?
Whoosh. Before the thought even passed, the young man in white had already turned back, but he was not looking at Shi Hao. Rather, he fixed his gaze on the Purple Gold Rat on his shoulder.
"Is this your Spirit Pet?" the young man in white asked.
The Purple Gold Rat rolled its eyes at the man but did not react, simply appearing lazy.
Shi Hao got the idea and nodded, "Indeed."
"Would you mind parting with it?" the young man in white asked. "Spirit Stones or Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, just name your price. I am really quite fond of it."
If this guy had wanted the big yellow dog, Shi Hao would not have minded cheating some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, but with the Purple Gold Rat... Selling it would indeed poke a hole in the sky.
Shi Hao shook his head, "Sorry, it’s difficult for me to oblige."
"Ah!" The young man in white sighed. "Then I am truly sorry." A face full of regret.
"What is there to be sorry about?" Shi Hao asked.
"This rat, I am determined to have it," the young man in white stated, "So, since you are unwilling to part with it, I have no choice but to resort to force. Therefore, I apologize in advance."
Shi Hao laughed and said, "You really are a hypocrite! To rob is to rob, yet you pretentiously say sorry!"
The young man in white showed not a hint of anger and said, "Sorry, sir. I truly am."
Having spoken, he struck out boldly.
Boom, a terrible aura erupted as he released characters from his right hand, forming a cage, pressing down towards Shi Hao.
Shi Hao remained calm and still, allowing the other to trap him.
He had already stepped into the Supplementing Divine Temple. Who in the world today was his match?
There might be geniuses in the Immortal Realm who could battle him on equal footing, but surely not every one that came down was such a top-tier genius.
The young man in white, seeing Shi Hao not dodging or defending, thought Shi Hao knew he could not win and had chosen to accept his fate, and he couldn’t help but reveal a mocking smile.
—Just now he had such a determined expression, as if he was unyielding, but what now?
He immediately cowered!
"Hand over that rat, and I am still willing to compensate you," he said earnestly, without a hint of condescension.
That’s why Shi Hao called him hypocritical.
To rob is to rob, to buy is to buy; such coercive behavior, having done the deed of a robber while still seeking a good reputation, what else is that but hypocrisy?
"Hey, have you hidden something valuable, that this guy insists on having you?" Shi Hao turned to the Purple Gold Rat and asked.
The Purple Gold Rat spread its tiny paws, "How would I know!"
Seeing that Shi Hao and the Purple Gold Rat completely disregarded him, the young man in white finally showed his anger.
In the Immortal Realm, he had some reputation for always being humble, treating everyone with utmost politeness.
However, he was actually an incredibly proud person; humility was just a facade.
Shi Hao had repeatedly refused his "kindness" and had not taken him seriously at all, how could he bear it?
You should know, he is a genius of the high and mighty Immortal Realm, and Shi Hao?
A mere mortal!
He snorted, finally dropping all pretense. His right hand came down, and seven rays of light shot towards Shi Hao, filled with boundless lethal intent.
Shi Hao still stood with his hands behind his back, merely opening the Star River, transforming into a ribbon of light that coiled around him.
Boom, boom, boom, the beams of light struck, but they could not break through the protection of the Star River.
What!
The young man in white gaped, showing a strong expression of shock.
How powerful he was, and yet his strike had not even injured Shi Hao? frёeωebɳovel.com
How was this possible?
How could a mere person from the Mortal Realm be so powerful?
Unless he was... a genius from the Immortal Realm!
He was shocked, wondering if the news had leaked, thus bringing other geniuses from the Immortal Realm chasing after him.
If he had known this earlier, he wouldn’t have been so greedy.
—He had thought that the Purple Gold Rat’s divine light harbored an Immortal Seed, thereby wanting to claim it for himself, thinking it could be a great asset in the future.
But what now?
The owner was unbelievably powerful!
However, since things had already escalated to this point, he decisively could not back down.
Roar, he spurred his power, the runes that formed the cage dispersing and then transforming into a giant snake, which lunged at Shi Hao.
This time, Shi Hao did not just let the opponent attack, and he clenched his fist and struck back.
Bang, with one blow, the giant snake instantly shattered.
Shi Hao shook his head; he was now too strong, so much so that even people from the Immortal Realm were no match for him.
He was somewhat curious about what level this young man in white stood at in the Immortal Realm, a genius? A great genius? A supreme genius? A king-level genius?
He appeared leisurely, while the young man in white was scared to death.
Too terrifying, how could there be such a terrifying Supplementing Divine Temple?
He dared not linger any longer in battle and turned to leave swiftly.
Shi Hao’s figure leaped forward, chasing after him.
In this Ancient World, who could match Shi Hao in speed?
He caught up with the young man in white in an instant, speaking indifferently, "Why are you running so fast?"
The young man in white turned pale with fright; this couldn’t be a nightmare, could it?
"Under whom among the Immortal Venerables do you serve?" he asked, such a genius could not possibly be cultivated by anyone less than a Celestial Venerable.
Shi Hao smiled, "Shouldn’t you introduce yourself first?"
The young man in white pondered for a moment, then said, "I am Nangong Li."
Huh?
Nangong Zheng, Nangong Li?
"So, what is your relation to Nangong Zheng?" Shi Hao asked again.
Nangong Li internally complained, he had already introduced himself, so why hadn’t Shi Hao?
But he dared not ask.
The power gap was too great.
"He is my clan brother," Nangong Li answered honestly.
"Why are you looking for him?" Shi Hao asked again, which was also the most crucial question.
