Chapter 63: Domineering and Overbearing
Fortress Master?
The Fortress Master of the Twelve Flying Peng Castles?
In this moment, everyone in the Seven-Star Tower was stunned. The newcomer was indeed the mysterious Fortress Master of the Twelve Flying Peng Castles, and what's more, he was a handsome youth in his twenties. If it weren't for his deep, chilling eyes, it would be hard to believe that the person before them was the leader of one of the three top forces in the Martial Combat Realm.
Not only had today's events concerning the Lingxiao Association caused such a commotion, but they also prompted the appearance of the most mysterious Flying Peng Fortress Master. How could one not be shocked?
The Celestial Eagle and Yun Ying are both so strong, so how powerful is this Fortress Master?
Is that enough?
A voice, cold and penetrating to the bone, could make anyone shiver. This was undoubtedly the demeanor of someone superior.
At this moment, everyone in the grand hall stood motionless, completely taken aback by the words of the Twelve Flying Peng Fortress Master. His mere words seemed to make it impossible for anyone to defy him.
Moreover, no one in the Seven-Star Tower dared to look directly into his deep-set eyes. Even a single glance seemed as if it would freeze one solid, such a person is indeed terrifying.
"Are you the Fortress Master of the Twelve Flying Peng Castles, Xiao Tianyu?" After a while, Duan Xingnan asked Xiao Tianyu.
Indeed, the unexpected visitor was Xiao Tianyu, a name that incites fear in the Martial Combat Realm.
Even if one does not know his name, just knowing he is the Fortress Master of the Twelve Flying Peng Castles is enough to command respect.
Xiao Tianyu's deep, cold eyes slowly rose, glanced at Duan Xingnan, and said calmly, "You know my name?"
"Of course!"
Duan Xingnan spoke indifferently, "Who else besides you, the mysterious Fortress Master, could mobilize the Twelve Flying Eagles to destroy the Lingxiao Association? Moreover, you disabled Wang Hao, Wang Peng's son, and Wang Peng tracked you down to find that you are currently working for a multinational group. As for your name, I naturally heard it from Wang Peng."
Duan Xingnan continued, "In fact, I find it hard to understand. Why forsake the position of Fortress Master of the Twelve Flying Peng Castles to work as a low-level employee? To kill time?"
"You guessed right!" Xiao Tianyu slightly nodded. Duan Xingnan continued, "It seems that being at the peak is indeed lonely, but I am different. I have big ambitions and aim to unify the Martial Combat Realm. So, I still have many things to do and many people to kill, including you!"
"That's because you're not at the peak!" Xiao Tianyu spoke indifferently, his voice calm like an ancient well. However, the meaning was clear: he, Xiao Tianyu, was at the peak, while Duan Xingnan was not.
Xiao Tianyu continued, "Therefore, you cannot experience the loneliness of the peak!"
I'm not at the peak, and cannot feel the loneliness of the peak?
Duan Xingnan slightly frowned, then sneered, "The Martial Combat Realm, three great sects, forming a tripartite balance, and my Seven-Star Tower considers itself no weaker than your Twelve Flying Peng Castles. Why isn't it called the peak?"
"That's just your presumptuous belief!" Xiao Tianyu's voice remained as cold as ever.
He continued, "The Twelve Flying Peng Castles never competed with the Assassin's Guild or the Seven-Star Tower; in fact, I never had the interest. I founded the Twelve Flying Peng Castles merely to address the injustices in the Martial Combat Realm, nothing more!"
Though Xiao Tianyu said this, the underlying meaning was not lost on Duan Xingnan. It meant he, Xiao Tianyu, simply despised competing with them.
Thus, Duan Xingnan spoke, "Since the Fortress Master of the Twelve Flying Peng Castles has personally appeared at the Seven-Star Tower, you ought to leave something behind. Otherwise, how will my Seven-Star Tower stand in the martial world in the future?"
"If you cannot stand, then vanish!" Xiao Tianyu's voice turned cold and indifferent, startling everyone in Seven-Star Tower. If they cannot stand, then vanish—what arrogance!
However, Xiao Tianyu paid them no heed. He merely glanced at the Celestial Eagle and Yun Ying and said, "Yun Ying, take the Celestial Eagle back!"
"Fortress Master..." The two were unwilling to leave, wishing to share life and death with Xiao Tianyu. Yet Xiao Tianyu said indifferently, "That's an order!"
Though his voice was indifferent, it was imbued with Xiao Tianyu's resolute intent, allowing no dissent. Instantly, the two shivered and replied, "Yes!"
"What a joke!" At that moment, the previously speaking constellation sneered, "Do you take my Seven-Star Tower for a marketplace, coming and going as you please?"
Whoosh~
Before this constellation could finish their words, an overwhelming aura erupted from Xiao Tianyu. In an instant, a large hand reached out toward the constellation. In a blink, the constellation was shocked, trying to step away, but Xiao Tianyu's right hand directly grasped their throat.
Immediately, the constellation's face turned pale. Xiao Tianyu's move was too swift for any reaction.
"Just you want to keep me here?" Xiao Tianyu said coldly, his eyes calm as an ancient well. Without waiting for the constellation to respond, a cracking sound was heard—Xiao Tianyu had broken the person's throat.
The constellation collapsed at Xiao Tianyu's feet with an expression of unwillingness and regret.
However, Xiao Tianyu's eyes had remained emotionless throughout, as if killing a constellation was nothing more than a casual act.
Stunned.
The people around were utterly shocked, seeing one of the Four Major Star Constellations of the Seven-Star Tower without any ability to resist in Xiao Tianyu's hands. The Four Major Star Constellations were the pillars of the Seven-Star Tower, the close guards to the Tower Master.
Yet now, they were easily annihilated like ants.
Even Duan Xingnan's expression trembled suddenly. Faced with Xiao Tianyu's dominance, he felt a growing sense of fear. But as the master of the Seven-Star Tower, how could he retreat?
If today, Xiao Tianyu were to walk out of the Seven-Star Tower with his men without a hindrance, and this was spread, how could the Seven-Star Tower continue to dominate the Martial Combat Realm?
"Do you still want to try?" Xiao Tianyu swept his gaze over everyone, his voice still indifferent, as if dismissing a constellation was insignificant to him.
Upon hearing this, Duan Xingnan's expression was grim, but he still opened his mouth and said, "Today, I must see how you walk out of my Seven-Star Tower!"
"Kill!" With these words, Duan Xingnan ordered.
In an instant, numerous Seven-Star Tower disciples rushed at Xiao Tianyu, yet their eyes showed unprecedented dread. This was someone who had just raised a hand to kill a major constellation.
"You court death, you'll meet death!" Xiao Tianyu snorted coldly and took a step. As his foot landed, the entire Seven-Star Hall trembled. In the next second, everyone rushing forward from the Seven-Star Tower could not withstand even a single step from him and knelt at his feet.
Whoosh~
A fierce wind roared, as Xiao Tianyu extended his large hand forward, launching a palm strike.
Bang, bang, bang~
Even before the Palm Seal landed, a dozen people had already turned into blood mists, with no bones remaining.
