47: Chapter 47 The Zhou Family Doesn't Exist in the Capital!
Although that overwhelming, heaven-devouring aura lasted only for an instant, it was still accurately detected by some sharp-sensed powerhouses...
Saint Spirit Level!
That must be the aura of a Saint Spirit Grade Beast Tamers Pet!
The moment that aura appeared, Chu Tianba, standing beside Xiao Yuhe, almost reflexively assumed a combat stance, Power of Laws immediately swirling around him. If that aura hadn't vanished, he might have truly unleashed a move...
The two of them looked at each other, clearly both utterly shocked.
The two Ninth-Turn Experts could no longer suppress the turmoil in their hearts!
They originally thought this young man possessing three top-tier Monarchs was impressive enough, but they never expected he had an even more terrifying existence...
Just a wisp of its leaked aura instantly disintegrated that terrifying storm of thunder and fire elements...
That Zhou Tianhun, an Eighth Revolution peak expert who had comprehended a sliver of Power of Laws, was only a thread of fortune away from reaching the Ninth Revolution. Yet, he was nearly killed without even seeing the face of his true enemy...
That terrifying Saint Spirit Grade Beast Tamers Pet didn't even have a single body part leave the beast taming space...
...
This was Chu Ran's first attempt at the Sacred Turtle's damage reflection skill, and even he was startled by the result...
It's simply too awesome!
All the damage was completely absorbed by the Sacred Turtle inside the beast taming space, yet it merely took two casual steps within the space as if nothing happened...
Zhou Tianhun, who could barely stand steady and had blood wildly spilling from the corner of his mouth, landed on the ground, staggering and nearly collapsing...
He stared at Chu Ran with intense resentment. In his view, even a max-level Monarch Grade Demonic Beast would have been grievously injured or killed by that strike...
Even a Professional wearing top-tier Monarch Grade defensive gear couldn't possibly emerge unscathed!
To Zhou Tianhun now, Chu Ran seemed like a shape-shifted demonic beast...
A human could never withstand such a blow!
"What a pity," Chu Ran expressed a hint of disappointment.
This old geezer's vitality is truly tenacious, to survive even this...
I tried so hard, how are you still alive?
It's double damage reflection!
Even if the Dragon Sparrow or the Thunder Flood Dragon took that hit head-on, they'd at least be severely injured. Yet this old man in front can still speak...
Is Power of Laws really this strong?
This was Chu Ran's first time forming a vague concept of Power of Laws...
Comprehending just a sliver can make one this powerful. How terrifying must those who truly reach the Ninth Revolution and fully possess Power of Laws be...
Seems like I still need to lay low and develop a bit more...
...
Mu Ziyan let go of Mu Zhiyu's hand, but Mu Zhiyu remained rooted in place, gazing dazedly at Chu Ran ahead...
Is this the power a human should possess... He's too strong...
...
Two beams of light suddenly appeared in the sky, as if they had torn through space to emerge.
The two were none other than Xiao Yuhe and Chu Tianba, who had been observing from afar for some time.
After recognizing the newcomers, Zhou Tianhun, who had been utterly despondent, seemed to see a lifeline and immediately lodged a complaint: "Esteemed sirs, you must uphold justice for me..."
He pointed at Chu Ran indignantly: "This brat publicly insulted my Zhou Family members, invaded my Zhou Family and cruelly killed them, and now he even seeks to end my life, wanting to erase my Zhou Family from the Capital. This kid from the Northern Domain must be a spy for the Blood Cult!"
Zhou Tianhun fixed a venomous glare on Chu Ran.
How could such a powerful Beast Tamer be nurtured in a barren place like the Northern Domain?
He must have used some evil secret technique from the Blood Cult!
"Are you injured?"
Xiao Yuhe automatically ignored Zhou Tianhun and addressed Chu Ran.
Chu Ran waved his hand: "I'm fine. You're not here to arrest me, are you?"
These two seemingly ordinary old men weren't releasing any aura or pressure, yet for some reason, Chu Ran felt they were far stronger than Zhou Tianhun...
"Hahaha, you defended the Northern Domain for us. We should be thanking you, not arresting you..." Chu Tianba laughed.
Defended the Northern Domain?!
Mu Zhiyu was slightly stunned, suddenly recalling the rumors from two days ago about a mysterious Beast Taming Master suddenly appearing in the Northern Domain, who single-handedly defended dozens of cities in a time of crisis...
She hadn't paid much attention to such news before, because in the Central Domain, there were too many false sensational stories like this; it was hard to distinguish truth from fiction.
Just two weeks ago, the news about the rising star of the younger generation from the Lu Family in Demon Capital single-handedly killing two Monarch Grade Demonic Beasts was exposed as a staged show...
And the Northern Domain was so far away, and the Dragon Country so vast. It was normal for news traveling from there to be considered exaggerated, so even if some people heard it, they wouldn't truly believe it...
Could it be that this incident was actually true?!
For a time, this news quickly caused a huge uproar in the Central Domain.
Finally, someone dug deep into the details and found that it was already common knowledge in the Northern Domain, with video evidence to boot!
Chu Ran had long been hailed as a great hero by the people of the Northern Domain, and some even proposed building a statue in his honor...
Saving an entire domain!
Such a contribution was simply immeasurable...
And the Zhou Family had offended such an honorary hero...
As the Zhou Family Head, Zhou Tianhun instantly felt as if the sky had fallen...
Most suffocating was that misfortune never comes singly...
Soon after, another Ninth-Turn Expert appeared at the Zhou Family's gate!
The newcomer was also one of the Dragon Country's Twelve Powerhouses, the Alliance Leader of the Dragon Country Five-Domain Alliance — Song Lingkong!
The Dragon Country Five-Domain Alliance was an alliance specifically established to maintain relations between the five domains.
It was precisely because of the Five-Domain Alliance's existence that the various domains of the Dragon Country could achieve the unity they have today.
Song Lingkong glanced below, nodded towards Chu Ran, and said solemnly: "Prior to this, we have received multiple complaints from other talented Professionals against the Zhou Family. We gave chance after chance, considering the blood the Zhou Family shed for the Dragon Country in the past. Yet today, they committed an act so contrary to the unity of the five domains, with severely negative repercussions..."
"I hereby solemnly declare that henceforth in the Capital..."
"There is no Zhou Family!"
...
No Zhou Family!
This meant that from now on, the Zhou Family could no longer reside in the Capital under the name of a noble family...
And the Zhou Family's various enterprises would have to cease operations, which was tantamount to cutting off the Zhou Family's future!
Initially, everyone thought the young man's earlier words were mere bravado. Now it seemed...
He truly seemed capable of doing it!
A mid-sized noble family, still wielding significant influence in the Capital just this morning, was about to be erased just like that...
All because of this talented Beast Tamer from the Northern Domain...
"Hahaha, hehehe hahaha..." Zhou Tianhun suddenly began to roar, seeming to go mad. He pointed at the three Ninth-Turn Experts above: "You're all in cahoots! You must be in cahoots!"
"You just covet my Zhou Family's assets!"
Pus and blood began to ooze from his wounds. Spiritual energy rapidly condensed around him, and his body started to swell, like a bomb ready to detonate: "No one lives! No one gets to live! We all die together!"
He charged towards Chu Ran's location!
The self-destruction of an Eighth Revolution expert!
Its power might even be more terrifying than the earlier thunder-fire elemental storm...
*Snap!*
In the sky, Chu Tianba made a grasping motion with his five fingers...
Before the human-bomb Zhou Tianhun could take more than two steps, he collapsed like a deflated balloon. The previously terrifying storm of spiritual energy dissipated without a trace in an instant...
"Did you think the three of us weren't here?"
A flash of contempt appeared in Chu Tianba's eyes as he spoke coldly.
...
