Meng Lei rose into the air until he reached the same height as the old high priest, looking at the priest calmly.
The old high priest looked at him too, setting off sparks as they stared at each other in the eye.
The spectators held their breaths in concentration. At this juncture, someone had guessed Meng Lei’s identity correctly.
From the Dragon God Empire… Being referred to as a monster… Other than the one from the rumors, who else?
“Oh, my great Titan Spiritual God! He is that monster from the Dragon God Empire?”
“Well, looking very young there!”
“A 16-year-old wielding such power already! Wonder how he has cultivated!”
The spectators were buzzing.
One’s reputation didn’t come with no reason, after all.
Meng Lei’s name was definitely the most sensational one in recent times.
Slaying the Dragon God Empire’s emperor.
Massacring all court officials.
Killing more than 1,000 Saint Domains.
Wiping out half-deities of the Dragon Island.
Any of these were horrifying on their own, and Meng Lei… had done all of those!
The fact that he had annihilated the entire elite class of the Dragon God Empire was unimaginable.
Currently, this beast of a human was standing before them. Who would make light of it?
“What is he doing here in our Titan Empire? Here to destroy our empire? That would be too mad, isn’t it?”
“Didn’t you hear that he’s here to demand the Chimeras…”
The spectators whispered among themselves as they engaged in wild speculation.
Meng Lei spoke. “Old fella, when I first stepped foot onto Dragon Island, those half-deities were as domineering as you are here, but they ended up in the depths of the island forever!”
The old high priest’s voice boomed like thunder. “Young one, this is the Titan Empire, not Dragon God Empire, and this old guy isn’t any Dragon Island half-deity!”
“The outcome will all be the same.” Meng Lei shook his head slightly. “Old high priest, since you’re the elder, I’ll let you strike first in case anyone says that I’m bullying the elderly.”
“How audacious!!”
The old high priest glared on as he blasted out a punch, while Meng Lei responded with a punch too.
Snap!
Both fists met like a thunderstruck!
The violent blast waves swept across the vicinity, causing the Thunder Titan Emperor and the beautiful Titan Empress to fly off the pillars.
“Hurry!”
“Hurry and leave this place!”
“We can’t stay here!”
The Thunder Titan Emperor was panicking as he pulled the Titan Empress heading afar, fearing their lives if they escaped too slowly.
Most spectators escaped far away. They could watch a half-deity battle, but not that close. Otherwise, dying would be in vain.
“Hey kid, what are you doing?” Bubbles kicked Barham and shouted, “Do you have a death wish? Let’s go then!”
“Yes, sir!”
Barhem reacted fast and left quickly after mumbling a ‘thanks’.
“The young nowadays…”
Bubbles shook his head and looked at the two figures in the sky with a heavy gaze.
Can Master defeat the old high priest?
Frankly speaking, he was not sure at all.
“Come again!”
After a punch, Meng Lei’s blood started to boil as he initiated another attack.
No Gods-Slaying Spear.
No Hammer of Destruction.
No blood-colored machete.
No Innate Special Ability.
Just the simple and crude fists!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The two figures kept on clashing and splitting. Even the sky was broken up for a short while, creating space-time rifts one after the other.
While the two of them moved in between the riffs, the space-time rifts mercilessly sliced onto their bodies, giving the spectators goosebumps.
If it were them, they would have been sliced into pieces by the space-time rifts, yet Meng Lei and the old high priest completely ignored the ravaging rifts’ effects.
“So this is the power of a half-deity?” The spectators were amazed.
Boom, boom, boom!
After some fierce rounds of fighting, both of them were tied without anyone having a clear advantage over the other.
“This old high priest is that strong?”
“I knew the old high priest was very powerful, didn’t expect him to be this powerful!”
“Rightly so! When my grandfather’s grandfather’s grandfather was in his infancy, the old high priest was already the holy temple’s high priest. How is he not extraordinary?”
The power that the old high priest had displayed was unthinkable to the spectators. They had only known that the priest had become the holy temple’s high priest from a really long time ago.
Now that they had seen how mighty the old high priest was, they felt that they were seeing the Sweeper Monk who could step over Qiao Feng of the North and beat up Murong of the South1!
Boom!
After another series of clashes, they stopped suddenly and looked at each other from a distance.
Meng Lei seemed carefree in his robes, while the old high priest was calm and expressionless.
“You’re pretty powerful, old man.” Meng Lei praised, “Indeed stronger than those half-deities of Dragon Island. They couldn’t even last one round against me.”
“It’s rare and valuable for such a young man to have such power.” The old high priest said coldly, “Let me advise you one last time, the Titan Empire isn’t the place for you to barge in and horse around. Leave immediately before you regret!”
“Leave? Your Titan Empire hijacked my stuff, and you’re still so stubborn. If I leave just like that, where do I hide my face?” Meng Lei shook his head slightly. “Old high priest, let me also advise you, hand over the riches of the Chimeras, and I’ll treat it like nothing has happened. Or else, I won’t stop till you’re dead.”
“You’re too presumptuous young one!” The old high priest roared, “I had been merciful just now since you failed to appreciate such kindness, don’t blame me for being cruel!”
“Wow, is this a coincidence? I held back too!” Meng Lei smiled slightly.
“Then we’ll see our true power!” The old priest snorted coldly. Golden lightning bolts burst out around his body, and his black hair exploded outward while his aura skyrocketed.
“Die!”
The old priest turned into a bolt of golden lightning and flashed before Meng Lei, as a fist shrouded in golden thunderbolt came crashing toward him.
This punch was quick to the extreme, way faster than before.
Yet, strangely it missed the target as Meng Lei vanished right before the old priest’s eyes!
“Eh?” The old priest exclaimed as he heard Meng Lei’s voice from behind. “Old fella, forgot to tell you, my greatest strength was never my physique.”
The old high priest snorted and turned around to strike another punch, missing completely again.
“Too slow old fella!” Meng Lei appeared on the right mysteriously while holding a black war hammer, the divine weapon—Hammer of Destruction!
Crack!
Meng Lei swung the Hammer of Destruction at the old high priest’s chin. With the crisp cracking sound, the old priest flew off instantly.
Meng Lei followed like a shadow and appeared silently behind the old high priest for a second blow to the back of his head.
Crack!
The old high priest’s skull cracked open instantly, and blood spurted out like a fountain. The poor old man could not even make a noise as he died instantly.
“Down you go, old fella!” Meng Lei appeared above and stomped.
Boom!
The old high priest became a meteorite crashing deeply into the square, creating a huge hole, as he stopped moving.
“H-how is the old high priest?”
“Lost? Or de-dead?”
The spectators from afar sensed a chill down their spines, as they could not accept the result.
The Thunder Titan Emperor, especially, who placed high hopes on the old high priest, almost broke down.
Wasn’t it evenly matched?
How did he get killed in a blink of an eye?
Seriously?
The Titan Emperor started to panic, with Meng Lei’s history in Dragon God Empire still vivid in one’s mind, even the scent of blood never left Meng Lei!
Who knew whether he would become senseless and sadistic and do the same to the Titan Empire?
“What to do? What should I do now?”
The Thunder Titan Emperor looked at the Earth Titan suddenly and felt like strangling him to death. “This despicable Johannes, I will die because of you!”
Just then, Meng Lei looked over his side with a solid gaze.
The Thunder Titan Emperor became stiff immediately and gave a smile that was worse than a crying face.
To his surprise, Meng Lei did not even look at him. He was staring at the Earth Titan not too far from him.
The Thunder Titan Emperor heaved a sigh of relief as Meng Lei grabbed the Earth Titan over from a distance.
“What do you want? Let go of me! Let me off now!” The Earth Titan struggled desperately.
“What do I want? Don’t you have any idea?” Meng Lei’s face was emotionless. “Hand over the riches of the Chimeras, and I can spare your dog life, or else, you can look at what happened to that old fella.!”
The Earth Titan could not resist glancing at the old high priest and was overwhelmed by terror—if the old high priest could be finished off with one hammer, then himself…
“I’ll talk! I’ll talk!” The Earth Titan trembled. “The wealth of the Chimeras were hidden by me in the treasury of the Great Earth Pillar Nation. If sir wants, I can take them out for you now!”
“No need! I’ll get it myself!”
Meng Lei threw the Hammer of Destruction casually and blasted the Earth Titan’s brains off instantly.
The glaring eyes on the remaining face of the Earth Titan meant he could not die peacefully—he had already given the wealth of the Chimeras, so why did Meng Lei still kill him?
“You’re not a dog, so where’s the dog life?”
Meng Lei looked at Klaus the Fire Dragon and said, “Klaus, go to the Great Earth Pillar Nation and bring all of the Chimeras’ riches over, and of course patronize the treasury too!”
“Yes, Master!”
Klaus bowed to the orders and disappeared into the clouds.
“May everything go well.”
Meng Lei muttered as he grabbed the Thunder Titan Emperor over, which frightened the emperor to death. He almost peed himself.
“Titan Emperor, tell me, how do we settle today’s matters?” Meng Lei said lightly.
“An-anything you wished, sir!”
The Thunder Titan Emperor was trembling all over.
“Now that’s the right attitude to settle anything, much more understanding than that old goat!”
Meng Lei was pleased with the Titan Emperor’s attitude.
I’m understanding?
I’m just afraid that you’ll kill me with one swing of that hammer!
The Thunder Titan Emperor was cursing in his mind while putting up a grinning face. “Whatever request that you have, sir, please let me know, and I’ll do my best to satisfy them!”
“My request is very simple…”
At that very moment, a wave of terrifying divine power blasted off from the Divine Titan Temple, sweeping all around the temple.
Then a second wave, a third wave, a fourth one, a fifth, a six…
No more or less, a total of 17 waves!
“God damn you, scoundrel!”
