Chapter 364 Terror
This person was Kartis kong of the Kartis family, possessing the power of an eighth grade spirit Imperial master, making his position within the Kartis family extremely solid.
If no unforeseen events occur, he also has the potential to strive towards becoming a Spirit King expert in the future.
"The descendant of that person?"
Of course, not everyone was focused on Kartis kong in the corner. In the middle of the crowd, a young man continued excitedly, "It's said that back in the day, the Flame Emperor single handedly compelled two Spirit Sovereigns to bow their heads. That's truly incredible! And to think, he had just broken through, while those two Spirit Sovereigns were long established names."
"Who wouldn't agree? Just thinking about it now is enough to get the blood boiling."
"By the looks of it, he should be the most talented person in the Sun Moon Empire. It's said that he broke through to the Spirit Sovereign level at just twenty three or twenty four."
"Clap!"
Amidst the heated discussions, Kartis Kong in the corner suddenly slammed his chopsticks onto the table, his face ice cold.
Instantly, the previously lively restaurant fell into complete silence.
"The Flame Emperor, does he even deserve that title?"
Kartis Kong sneered, a mocking smirk slowly appearing on his lips, "He's merely a descendant of a lowly servant from my Kartis family. In his bones, he carries lowly blood. Even if he becomes a Spirit Sovereign, at the end of the day, he's still a humble servant of the Kartis family."
"Moreover, when the Youngang Empire was repelled back then, it was the strongmen of my Kartis family who led the charge. Blaze Ash just happened to seize an opportunity with a couple of moves. Such a fraud, seeking fame and stealing credit, would have no place to stand today."
Upon hearing Kartis Kong's sneering remarks, many people nodded obsequiously, their expressions ingratiating. Yet, many others were inwardly furious, though the Kartis family's overwhelming power left them unable to utter a word.
Kartis Kong scanned the room, feeling quite satisfied with the expressions on everyone's faces. After all, someone who rose through sheer luck, a mere lower class person, had no right to be mentioned repeatedly.
Suddenly, a shadow loomed over the table in front of him. Kartis Kong looked up to see the face of a young man, expressionless, appearing before him.
"Is there something you need?"
Kartis Kong stretched lazily, his face relaxed and indifferent, "You should be just the right age to participate in our family's trial. However, if you're hoping to gain an advantage through me in the trial, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you."
Clearly, Kartis Kong mistook Blaze Regret for one of those eager to align themselves with the kartis family.
Such people had been frequent in recent months.
At this moment, downstairs in the restaurant.
With a sneer on his face, Soul An looked up at the towering restaurant, already plotting how he would humiliate Blaze Regret later and make him pay for his actions the previous day.
Although the Soul Family was only considered a third rate power, their connections in Snow Storm City were astonishingly extensive. With just a few inquiries, Soul An had managed to track down Blaze Regret's whereabouts.
"Clap!"
A strong hand suddenly clapped onto his shoulder. Soul An was about to turn around and curse, but when he saw who it was, his face immediately transformed into a fawning smile. "Brother Yin, you got here so quickly."
Rising slowly, Soul Yin looked towards the restaurant with an indifferent expression, but the burn mark on his head appeared comically absurd no matter how one looked at it.
Though Soul An was holding back laughter internally, he dared not show it on his face, instead maintaining a respectful demeanor.
"Lead the way," Soul Yin said coolly. Soul An's status in the family was much lower than his, so there was no need for politeness in his speech.
"Yes!" Soul An nodded repeatedly and happily led the way, while inwardly laughing maniacally. You little rascal, just wait for your doom. Soul Yin's methods of dealing with people are far more interesting than mine.
"Bang!"
Just as the two were about to move, a side of the restaurant suddenly burst open, scattering splinters of wood everywhere. A white figure followed, tracing an arc through the air before crashing heavily onto the ground.
Kartis Kong's body plummeted rapidly from the top of the restaurant, his back landing heavily on the ground. Tiny cracks spread swiftly beneath him, resembling a vast spider web.
The sudden turn of events caused the bustling street to fall into an eerie silence. All eyes were fixed on the fallen figure, and when someone recognized Kartis Kong's identity, they couldn't help but gasp in shock.
"Kartis... Kartis Kong..."
Soul Yin stared wide eyed at the disheveled figure in the center of the cracks. To someone like Soul Yin, who belonged to a third rate power, Kartis Kong was usually an unattainable figure, given the vast difference between their statuses.
"What happened?" Soul An's lips quivered slightly, his face filled with alarm. The shock in his heart was even more apparent than Soul Yin's.
"Poof!"
Kartis Kong, eyes filled with terror as he looked up at the sky, spat out a mouthful of blood. The crimson droplets scattered like a shower of rain, and his face contorted in intense pain, as two sharp bamboo chopsticks pierced through his cheeks.
"How could his strength be so overwhelming..."
Recalling the youth's punch that shattered the air, Kartis Kong was overwhelmed by a deep sense of despair. It was the first time he felt such a profound sense of helpless defeat.
"Clap"
A clear sound of footsteps echoed, drawing everyone's tense gaze towards the restaurant's entrance. They were eager to see who this audacious individual was, daring to challenge the Kartis family, and even managing to bring down Kartis Kong, an eighth tier spirit Imperial master.
