Chapter 590: Renowned Reputation
September 25, 2017
As Lu Haikong emerged from the shadows, it was as if someone had pressed a pause button, and the Yellow Turban Saintess's words abruptly ceased.
Lu Haikong was not familiar with the Outsiders of the Yellow Turbans, but the high-ranking members of the Yellow Turbans were well-acquainted with Lu Haikong.
After all, this guy had slain Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, the super freaks of the Yellow Turbans. How could the Yellow Turban Saintess not know about Lu Haikong?
"What's the matter? Don't you want to take a good look at me? Should I show you from a closer distance?"
Lu Haikong's casual words made the Yellow Turban Saintess, with her fair and jade-like forehead, break out in a cold sweat.
Although this was the first time the Yellow Turban Saintess had seen Lu Haikong, she had already seen many paintings of him and even holographic images of him slaying Zhang Liang, created using special items. She was quite familiar with Lu Haikong.
Looking at Lu Haikong in person, the Yellow Turban Saintess's throat went dry, and for a moment, she was at a loss for words. She had never expected that the helper Zhang Yan had found would be Lu Haikong.
She was well aware that this guy was a complete freak. With a strength of over a hundred, Zhang Liang was slain by Lu Haikong without any hesitation. Not to mention these five individuals, whose strength hadn't even reached eighty, were no match for him.
Interestingly, while the Yellow Turban Saintess recognized Lu Haikong, one of the four people behind her did not.
The man carrying an axe saw Lu Haikong walk out with a calm expression, and the Yellow Turban Saintess became speechless, thinking that she had taken a liking to Lu Haikong.
After all, since Lu Haikong arrived in this world, he had continuously honed his martial arts skills and held high positions for many years, cultivating an outstanding aura. Especially when Lu Haikong had a cold expression on his face, this aura became even more intense, complementing his handsome features. It was fair to say that he was quite attractive as he stepped out of the shadows.
Therefore, the man with the axe had such suspicions. He had been coveting the Yellow Turban Saintess and had only recently joined her. Seeing this situation, he immediately felt a surge of anger. However, he was not a fool, and upon further thought, he realized something was amiss. He noticed that everyone around him seemed to have broken out in cold sweat after the man appeared.
Witnessing this, the man wisely retreated, not daring to rush out immediately.
However, what he did not expect was that even though he had already retreated, the brief change in his gaze still caught Lu Haikong's attention.
"You, come here!"
Lu Haikong ignored the Yellow Turban Saintess and pointed at the man with the axe, shouting, "What do you think you're doing?" The man was startled.
"Nothing much. I didn't bring my axe this time, but I see that your axe, although it's only a Superior Grade, is barely usable. So, I'm borrowing it." Lu Haikong spoke with an air of authority and entitlement.
A Superior Grade? Barely usable? Borrowing it?
Upon hearing these words, the man's heart and lungs nearly exploded with anger. This axe was his prized possession, a top-tier weapon of the Superior Grade, and since obtaining it, he had cherished it dearly. How could he possibly hand it over just because Lu Haikong asked for it?
However, what he did not expect was that as soon as Lu Haikong finished speaking, the Yellow Turban Saintess added, "Liu Kui, since Governor Lu has taken a liking to this axe, you might as well give it to him."
The Yellow Turban Saintess deliberately emphasized the word "Governor" when speaking to Liu Kui, intending to hint at Lu Haikong's identity.
To be honest, the Saintess herself was surprised that Zhang Yan had managed to invite Lu Haikong. This made their ambush a joke, despite their combined strength. Although they were not as strong as Zhang Liang, the appearance of this terrifying freak changed the situation entirely.
The moment Lu Haikong opened his mouth, Ye Junru witnessed his domineering nature as he demanded the axe from the others. Despite his arrogance, he had the strength to back it up, and the Holy Maiden genuinely worried that Liu Kui, unaware of his opponent's true identity, would pick a fight with Lu Haikong. So, she decided to warn him.
However, her warning had the opposite effect, as Liu Kui not only failed to recognize Lu Haikong's identity but also became infuriated by the Holy Maiden's words.
His eyes instantly turned red with anger, "Fine! You want my axe? I'll deliver it to you right now!"
As he spoke, he lunged towards Lu Haikong, his aura erupting as he leaped high, aiming to strike Haikong's head with his axe.
This sudden turn of events caught many off guard, but two people reacted swiftly. These two individuals, in perfect harmony, remained silent and still, seemingly wanting to observe Haikong's abilities.
As the target of this attack, Lu Haikong's eyes flashed with determination. He effortlessly dodged the axe and countered with a punch to the man's heart, causing blood to mist from his heart.
With a simple punch, Lu Haikong, whose strength exceeded 80, instantly killed one of the most formidable Outsiders.
Haikong took the axe from the man's hand and, without hesitation, collected several items that dropped from Liu Kui's body after his demise. He then casually waved his hand, disposing of the man's corpse.
The entire encounter lasted only a few seconds, like a flash of lightning.
Some people hadn't even processed what had happened before it was all over.
It wasn't until Lu Haikong held the axe and looked at the Yellow Turban Saintess that they realized what had just transpired. The Saintess's forehead broke into a cold sweat.
In the 1619 version, there is no mistake!
Haikong nonchalantly asked Zhang Yan, "What about these few? I'll take care of them." His casual attitude made it seem like the four individuals before him were not living beings but mere livestock, his words dripping with bloodlust.
"Wait!"
Before Zhang Yan could respond, the Saintess spoke up.
"Governor Lu, is it really okay for you to decide our fate like this?"
Lu Haikong let out a cold laugh, "What? Should I hold a trial for you, make it more ceremonious?"
As Lu Haikong spoke, he walked towards the Yellow Turban Saintess, a faint yet palpable killing aura emanating from his body.
Although the killing aura didn't erupt, it felt heavy and suffocating. The Saintess felt as if a heavy hammer had struck her heart, making it difficult to breathe.
At this moment, they understood Lu Haikong's power more profoundly.
With his current strength, Lu Haikong was like an existence that defied the heavens, far beyond their ability to resist. In front of Lu Haikong, even escaping seemed challenging.
Under this immense pressure, the Saintess removed her veil, revealing a face of exquisite beauty.
"Governor, can't you give me a chance to speak?"
The Saintess's exquisite face was filled with a mix of charm and coquetry, her beauty dazzling enough to make even Lu Haikong wonder if he had fallen under a charm spell.
Just then, the Tranquility Dao Temple suddenly became chaotic, and it seemed like a large group of people was approaching.
Seizing this opportunity, the Saintess's smile faded, and with a wave of her hand, a mist enveloped them, allowing the group to slip away...
