Chapter 903 - 907: We Will Take Responsibility for This (Part 1)
Chapter 903: Chapter 907: We Will Take Responsibility for This (Part 1)
Lin Xi was looking towards the other side of the mountain top.
The weeds here were quite lush and green, but not more than ten centimeters tall.
To the naked eye, there was no sign of any figure, nor anything amiss, but Lin Xi firmly gazed at this spot, certain that someone was there.
In the next moment, a gray silhouette indeed stood up from the ground.
He was neither tall nor short, about one meter seventy, his appearance very ordinary, the kind of person with no distinctive features on the street, or in a crowd, having no sense of presence at all.
If you looked closely, you’d find his hands full of calluses, and his eyes had a captivating brilliance.
But now, he was trembling all over like that bunch of punks earlier, his piercing eyes filled with fear.
"Since I left home, you’ve been following me!" Lin Xi walked towards him, speaking, "You’re quite bold, your strength just a junior King of Soldiers, and yet you didn’t take the chance to leave earlier, waiting until now?"
"Did you think I wouldn’t notice?"
The man wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, shook his head, and said, "No, Mr. Lin!"
"I’m with the Dragon King!"
His voice trembled a bit as he spoke those two sentences.
He couldn’t help but tremble!
After all, he was the top intelligence leader under the Dragon King, expert in gathering intelligence or monitoring people, never failing yet.
When he went into hiding, even Innate Powerhouses found it difficult to discover him.
Unexpectedly, now he was exposed, and he couldn’t fathom how.
Regarding combat ability, he wasn’t strong, just a very ordinary junior King of Soldiers.
So, facing Lin Xi who had just killed ten Innate and twenty Kings of Soldiers, he had to tremble.
Anyone of those was stronger than him in a one-on-one fight.
"Dragon King’s man?" Lin Xi was taken aback.
He had heard of the Dragon King, but never seen him.
Rumored to be very powerful!
Moreover, if this person hadn’t been following them all along from then on, Lin Xi wouldn’t have discovered him lying here.
This astounded him.
Since he broke through to Innate, his perception had strengthened immensely, almost any movement within a kilometer radius was perceptible.
But now, only ten meters away lay this junior King of Soldiers, and he hadn’t detected anything unusual.
This aroused great curiosity in him.
Furthermore, this person just stood up wearing gray clothing, while the grass was green.
This skill was quite special.
Even he couldn’t achieve it.
Seeing Lin Xi’s uncertain expression, the man grew anxious, as he had been following Lin Xi but meant no harm.
On the contrary, the Dragon King had ordered, that if Lin Xi encountered any danger, he was to aid him.
Of course, he couldn’t do it with his own strength.
But he had the Dragon King Order.
With the Dragon King Order, the world’s powerhouses wouldn’t dare disrespect the Dragon King.
Or they wouldn’t possibly dare.
Dragon King was someone who had slain a dozen Innate, and that was years ago.
Now, nobody dared speculate how strong he had become.
"My name is Gu Long, a subordinate of the Dragon King, also with a special national department!" The man assumed Lin Xi didn’t believe him, and so he introduced himself outright.
Anyway, he felt he had aligned with Lin Xi from the start.
"I’ve been following you to ensure your safety!"
"If anything untoward occurs, I will intervene."
"You?" Lin Xi seemed skeptical.
Gu Long apparently understood Lin Xi’s meaning, promptly explaining, "Of course, I don’t have the strength, but I represent the Dragon King, these people wouldn’t dare do anything to me, rather they’d show respect to the Dragon King."
Lin Xi froze, scanning the surroundings once more, finding no one, and curiously asked, "The Dragon King you mentioned, is he nearby?"
He didn’t dwell on not perceiving him.
After all, he hadn’t detected the junior King of Soldiers before him.
So the so-called Dragon King would likely be undetectable as well.
"The Dragon King isn’t here!" Gu Long shook his head.
If the Dragon King were here, those in Chuzhou City wouldn’t dare act so brazenly!
Upon learning this, they would immediately flee.
"Not here?"
Lin Xi grew curious, with no Dragon King present, why would a group of Innate show him respect?
Didn’t they know the emperor was far away?
Gu Long was surprised by Lin Xi’s reaction.
Globally, over eighty percent of Kings of Soldiers knew of the Dragon King, knew some of his deeds, and feared him greatly.
Yet this young man, possessing such terrifying strength, didn’t know about the Dragon King.
He soon offered a brief explanation.
After explaining, Lin Xi stood stunned.
Apparently, the Dragon King wasn’t just known for killing a dozen Innate, over the years he had secretly slain countless powerhouses.
His reputation as a killer incited global terror.
And one more thing, the reason people showed respect to the Dragon King according to Gu Long.
The Dragon King was a man of his word, if anyone defied his words, they would suffer, for instance, before an international underground organization with centuries of history, full of powerhouses.
One day, they caught a subordinate of the Dragon King, intended to imprison him, but when the Dragon King heard, he asked them to show some respect and release his man.
The subordinate wasn’t involved with the organization, just captured by coincidence.
Yet this powerful organization didn’t comply, publicly executing the Dragon King’s subordinate.
Their intent was clear, no respect for the Dragon King.
If he dared, they challenged him to retaliate against their base!
Their base was a super fortress, highly advanced technologically, impervious to nuclear attack.
And they possessed numerous high-tech weapons, very destructive.
Among them were several Innate powerhouses.
Hence they considered even mid-level Innate power not capable of breaching their defense.
There was a high possibility they would perish instead.
Another vital point, Innate experts generally didn’t fuss over minor matters, even if disrespected publicly, wouldn’t cross continents to seek revenge!
Besides, it involved national level issues.
So, the organization presumed Dragon King would not come.
Everyone else thought likewise.
But having slighted the Dragon King, they became cautious about visiting Huaxia, and encountering his men.
After a few peaceful days, when the matter was forgotten by all, the Dragon King secretly infiltrated the organization’s base.
Stealthily, all those stronger than Kings of Soldiers were slaughtered overnight, including several Innate.
The high-tech weapons and destructive arms had no effect on the Dragon King.
As they simply couldn’t target him, or before pressing the button, he had already vanished before their eyes and eliminated them with one punch.
Immediately, the world’s upper echelons were shaken.
Many started condemning Huaxia, demanding Huaxia hand over the Dragon King, but Huaxia replied, they had no record of any Dragon King.
Basically, they ignored opinions from outside.
If others were capable enough, they could try capturing him!
Instantly, those countries demanding action shut their mouths.
Subsequently, one or two similar incidents occurred, all involving the Dragon King personally.
From then on, everyone realized, respect the Dragon King’s words, or eliminate his men before he speaks up.
Of course, such demands for respect from the Dragon King were rare, else he’d invite a collective response to his dominance.
After Lin Xi grasped the situation, he was puzzled why the Dragon King would ensure his safety?
He knew nothing of the man!
Forget it, as long as this person harbored no hostility towards him, it was fine.
At this moment, Gu Long rightly spoke, "Mr. Lin, you should leave, I’ll find others to handle matters here!"
"And you needn’t worry about trouble!"
"We’ll announce publicly our responsibility for it!"
