Chapter 436 Quick Fall of a Titled Battle Pet Warrior

“You bastard! You’re not walking out of here alive!”

The skinny middle-aged man finally processed Su Ping’s words. The man flew into a rage. Su Ping had already stimulated the killing intent in this middle-aged man who would not stand for another round of insults.

He didn’t care if Wu Tianming was going to protect the young man or not. He was going to kill him!

A titled battle pet warrior shall not be insulted!

Wu Tianming was struck dumb with astonishment.

He had never imagined that the seemingly quiet young man would be capable of such an arrogant talk!

Not even Wu Tianming was able to find a reason to defend Su Ping.

After all, Su Ping was insulting and humiliating a titled battle pet warrior. Being of such a rank himself, Wu Tianming would practically admit he wasn’t going to treat those at the titled rank seriously if he took Su Ping’s side again.

“Are you ready?” Su Ping asked again, calmly. Out of extreme anger, the skinny middle-aged man almost burst into laughter. A glint of coldness rose in his eyes as he answered, “Come on and show me what you can do. Do not say that I’m treating you unfairly. If you can land a hit on me, I’ll forgive you!”

“Sure.”

Astral powers surged inside Su Ping.

Finish him!

The astral powers he mobilized were merely at the seventh rank. Even so, those around him were still shocked. They didn’t know that the young man was already an advanced battle pet warrior; that fact alone had demonstrated that the young man was a talent!

However, this talent was too arrogant!

Whoosh!

Su Ping made a sudden move. He jumped up from the back of the Lion Eagle and flew toward the skinny middle-aged man across the sky.

Flying?!

The onlookers could hardly believe this.

The skinny middle-aged man stared at Su Ping, completely transfixed.

The young man was at the titled rank?!

The next second, the skinny middle-aged man had sensed some killing intent going straight towards him.

The skinny middle-aged man came back to his senses. Still shocked, he was not in the mood to think about an answer; he couldn’t afford to be careless. He hurried to mobilize his astral powers and set up many astral power shields. If it weren’t for the fact that Su Ping had acted too abruptly, the skinny middle-aged man would have summoned his battle pets.

When Su Ping was about ten meters away from his target, he brought up his fist.

He punched at the skinny middle-aged man across a distance!

Bang!!

Even the air exploded due to the might of that punch. Nothing in the air could stop Su Ping. The arched airstream pressed on!

Bang, bang, bang!!

The many astral power shields that the skinny middle-aged man had set up were cracked. Shields brought up by titled battle pet warriors were supposed to be strong enough to fend off attacks from the average ninth-rank beasts and yet, Su Ping’s punch was so destructive that all the shields exploded easily. The fist’s shadow pressed further and landed on the skinny middle-aged man!

No!!

The skinny middle-aged man shouted in fear inside.

A layer of golden hue emerged over his clothes. The golden hue turned into a shield which was a treasured artifact he had. The shield floated above his head, glistening.

Boom!!

The fist landed on the shield. As the golden light disappeared, a cracking sound was heard. At the same time, the skinny middle-aged man’s clothes fell apart and many pieces of metal flew randomly. The treasured artifact had been ripped apart.

No more treasured artifacts could protect the skinny middle-aged man from the punch.

Pff!

Blood spurted out. The skinny middle-aged man couldn’t move one bit as he stared at the fist that was going to land on him.

His head was cracked and his upper body exploded, merely leaving a pair of legs that fell to the ground. A hush fell!

All the onlookers were rooted to the spot.

A titled battle pet warrior was killed by Su Ping with one punch!

Even his body was blasted into pieces!

Who is this young man?? Wu Tianming stared at the legs and the bloodstains on the ground, feeling he had lost the ability to think.

He and the skinny middle-aged man had been at loggerheads for years, and he was well aware of his rival’s strength. The skinny middle-aged man was at the lower tier of the titled rank but he had been a titled battle pet warrior for years. The treasured artifact that the skinny middle-aged was wearing was quite a tricky item. Wu Tianming was unable to believe that his old-time enemy could be killed by Su Ping with a single punch in public!

Like Su Ping had mentioned, one punch and everything would have been water under the bridge.

Of course it would be, after the man died!

In the air, Su Ping had hovered back to the Lion Eagle’s seats. He indifferently glanced at the remains on the ground; he felt neither regret nor sadness. The skinny middle-aged had secretly provoked the Lion Eagle. A furious Lion Eagle could have bitten anyone else to death.

Naturally, Su Ping would not show mercy when the skinny middle-aged man had been the first one who tried to kill him.

Su Ping did show some mercy, after all.

He didn’t use the Fist of Exorcist.

Otherwise, even the two legs would have been obliterated!

“Let’s go,” said Su Ping to the man sitting at the neck of the Lion Eagle and sat down on the empty seat.

The middle-aged rider was an eighth-rank master battle pet warrior but he had been struck dumb. How could Su Ping talk as if nothing had happened? The man trembled.

Su Ping had killed a titled battle pet warrior with one punch, and yet he was able to act so casually. Who is this young man?

“Who told you you can leave?” a person standing on the ground shouted furiously. The young man had killed a man in public. What made him think he could leave without shouldering any consequences?

Su Ping looked at the man who was also at the titled rank. He was the one standing next to the skinny middle-aged man, so he was probably the latter’s colleague or friend. “Do you want to take a punch as well?” Su Ping asked the man.

The man’s anger receded. He no longer dared to utter another word.

He and the skinny middle-aged man were equal in strength. Since the latter was unable to survive the punch, he would not fare any better.

However, what should he tell their superiors if they were to let Su Ping leave like this?

Since no one said anything else, Su Ping turned to the master of the Lion Eagle. “Let’s go.”

The man was in a pickle. Since the titled battle pet warriors standing on the ground had been scared silent, he knew it was not his place to say anything, either. Saving his life was the most important thing at the moment. In some way, he was being threatened; he could find an excuse for himself when the higher-ups tried to pin blame on him.

After thinking it through, the man patted the scared Lion Eagle and ordered it to take flight.

The Purple Cloud Lion Eagle stood up, trembling, and nervously flapped its wings. The Lion Eagle exerted a great effort just to leave the ground, as if it were shouldering a mountain on its back.

Su Ping left. The ones standing on the ground were unable to utter a single word for a long time.

The young man was definitely stronger than any average titled battle pet warrior; he could deal with them so easily!

It was likely that he was an old man at the peak of the titled rank but had used some medicine to keep his youthful looks!

Wu Tianming came back to his senses. All of a sudden, he remembered when he first met Su Ping, when he said he had taken care of the Poison Claw Dragon. Back then, Wu Tianming thought the young man meant the beast had run away. He finally understood that the young man was telling him the beast had been killed.

Wu Tianming shuddered with fear.

A person at the peak of the titled rank had just been with him and he didn’t realize it.

Fortunately, he didn’t upset that freak. Otherwise, it would have been his legs on the ground.

Wu Tianming darted a look at the remains and inwardly heaved a sigh. How unlucky his old rival was. He had deliberately created trouble for Su Ping, unknowingly upsetting the wrong guy.

After the Lion Eagle disappeared into the sky, finally someone could move about. A titled battle pet warrior shouted at once, “Who is that man? Go and find his information. Find out which base city he is from!”

“Xue Yong is dead. We must report this incident to our headquarters.”

“He killed Xue Yong with one punch. That is what the old freaks at the peak of the titled rank are like, right? So frightening…”

In the air. On the Lion Eagle’s back Su Ping sat there, quietly, while the other four people were terrified, on pins and needles. They felt quite uneasy to be sitting next to a freak who had just murdered a titled battle pet warrior. They were afraid that they might upset this powerful warrior unwittingly.

The trip was quiet; there was no sound, other than the sound of the wind, or when someone was gulping.

Su Ping didn’t waste time explaining. He just kept his eyes closed and rested. He was flying above a great wilderness. Now and then, he could see some beasts fighting over territories on the ground. But the region offered a nice view.

In this suffocating silence, the master of the Lion Eagle finally worked up the courage and asked, “Sir, which, which base city are you going to?”

He was afraid he might miss Su Ping’s destination if he delayed the question any longer. “Holy Light,” Su Ping answered. The Lion Eagle’s master was relieved. He immediately changed the route and directly headed toward the Holy Light Base City.

As for the other people… they could wait.

…

Without taking any detours, Su Ping had arrived at the Holy Light Base City in merely eight hours.

If it weren’t for the fact that they had to pay some toll fees when they flew past the territorial airspace of some base cities, the journey would have taken even less time.

The Lion Eagles would fly from one station to another and the stations were the base cities. There would only be a few beasts in the territorial airspace around each base city. If they flew to the completely wild regions, they would eventually run into some flocks of flying beasts.

“Sir, take care,” said the master of the Lion Eagle to Su Ping, on a mountain outside the wall of the Holy Light Base City.

The mountain had a flat platform by the hillside, as if someone had sliced the top off. That flat area had been turned into a grand plaza.

The Purple Cloud Lion Eagle landed on one of the plaza’s open areas. There were other dragons or eagles in other nearby squares.

Su Ping hopped off from the Lion Eagle.

The other four passengers—as well as the master of the Lion Eagle—were more than glad to see Su Ping was leaving. They smiled and said their goodbyes to Su Ping.

After Su Ping jumped to the ground, someone came over from a distance. The man was wearing a white uniform. “Sir, welcome. This way, please. We offer many modes of transportation, including private cars.”

“Do private cars travel fast?”

“Yes.”

“A private car, then.”

Soon, the man showed Su Ping to the foot of the mountain. Many luxurious cars were parked there and the passengers could get directly into the city, which was a concierge service of sorts. Su Ping chose one and paid the bill, which was ten thousand astral coins.

Luckily, he didn’t lack money. Besides, he didn’t want to have too many astral coins that couldn’t be converted into energy points. If he did need more money, he could sell some treasured artifacts and he could make hundreds of millions easily.
