Chapter 475: The Arrogant Beggar
Sean faced Steer family’s ancestral dragon-headed staff with his fists!
The ancestral dragon-headed staff of the Steer family was made of frigid iron, an indestructible divine weapon only breakable by Bright Realm cultivators. Therefore, without revealing his true strength, Sean was at a disadvantage!
Any Complete Stage individual would likely not choose bare-handed confrontation against the frigid iron divine weapon!
Yet, Sean did exactly that!
Boom!
Before the onlookers could react, Sean’s massive fist, enveloped in vigorous dark energy, collided fiercely with the Steer family’s ancestral dragon-headed staff, also enveloped in vigorous dark energy, producing a thunderous sound like muffled explosions!
“This guy… is utterly audacious!”
“Damn!”
“Is he seeking death?!”
Witnessing this spectacle, every practitioner felt that Sean was arrogant and foolish. Even the instructors from Buddha Academy and the one-eyed elder couldn’t help but shake their heads, their disappointment evident.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
However!
Just as everyone thought Sean would gain no advantage against the Steer family’s ancestral staff, after merely three seconds of deadlock, a barely audible sound emanated from the dragon-headed staff!
Crack!
Though faint, the sound did not escape the ears of the practitioners!
“Hmm?”
“This is…”
The instructors from Buddha Academy and the one-eyed elder were particularly sensitive and immediately sensed something amiss. Consequently, they both turned their attention to Sean’s fist and the Steer family’s ancestral staff.
Then!
They witnessed, under Sean’s punch, the seemingly indestructible staff bending slightly!
Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
The faint sounds, like a flood bursting through a dam, continued incessantly. Accompanying these subtle cracks, onlookers observed the slight bend rapidly increasing in size, expanding visibly before their eyes!
Expanding!
Expanding!
Expanding further!
This eerie sight, akin to drawing a bow, saw Sean’s punch forcibly bending the previously straight staff into a crescent shape, like a crescent moon!
“How is this possible?”
Everyone was dumbfounded by the scene, especially the Buddha Academy instructors and the one-eyed elder. As they were Complete Stage cultivators, they knew well the extent of damage a typical Complete Stage practitioner could inflict upon a divine weapon like the ancestral staff.
Clearly!
The current result greatly exceeded their previous expectations!
Clearly!
This “Great Monkey,” the arrogant challenger, was no ordinary Complete Stage practitioner. In the presence of the Steer family’s ancestral elder, he possessed the confidence to be audacious, and the ancestral elder was simply not his match!
“You!!!”
As spectators, the Buddha Academy instructors and the one-eyed elder were stunned. As for the participant, the Steer family’s ancestral elder? Witnessing the staff slowly bending, feeling the surging dark energy emanating from Sean’s fist, cold sweat streamed down the elder’s forehead and back!
Damn it!
How could this happen?!
The ancestral elder, more than anyone, desired to understand why such a result had occurred!!!
Bang!
In less than ten seconds of deadlock, when the dragon-headed staff had completely bent into a large bow, the ancestral elder finally couldn’t hold on any longer. Flush with embarrassment, propelled by Sean’s increasingly vigorous dark energy, he was sent flying back, retreating more than ten meters, unable to steady himself and falling onto the roadside lawn!
Defeated in a single move!
Just like when “Great Ape” had defeated those two mid-stage dark energy bodyguards, “Great Monkey,” facing the Steer family’s ancestral elder, dominated without suspense!
Once again, with just a single move!
“Now!”
Sean strode purposefully toward the ancestral elder, asking as he approached, “Are you satisfied?”
“Aren’t you here to kill me?”
“Come on!”
His voice was like thunder!
The Steer family members in front of the mansion had initially intended to rush forward and gang up on Sean. However, now, they looked at each other, their impulse remaining, but their courage evaporating. Their hearts trembled violently, and the hands gripping their weapons became drenched in sticky sweat!
As for Osvaldo Steer, lying on a stretcher, there was no need to mention his condition!
Stunned!
Ashen-faced!
“Who… who are you exactly?”
The ancestral elder wasn’t foolish. Based on just now, he was certain that he was no match for Sean. Thus, staggering to his feet, he incredulously asked, “We are both at the Complete Stage. How could you possibly bend my ancestral dragon-headed staff with just one punch?”
Approaching the ancestral elder, Sean nonchalantly picked up the now-curved staff, holding the head in his left hand and the tail in his right, disdainfully remarking, “Look at you, so inexperienced. Who says a Complete Stage practitioner can’t bend frigid iron divine weapons?”
As he spoke, Sean exerted force with both hands!
Immediately!
The familiar sounds of cracking resounded once more. Under the ancestral elder’s close scrutiny, the curved staff continued to bend, and bend further, until it formed a ‘U’ shape in the blink of an eye!
Following this!
With a crisp snapping sound, unable to withstand the powerful dark energy, the ‘U’ shaped staff reached its limit of flexibility and directly snapped in the middle, breaking into two pieces!
“This…”
The ancestral elder’s face turned green, utterly disbelieving his own eyes. Having lived for seventy or eighty years, he considered himself knowledgeable, yet a Complete Stage cultivator breaking a frigid iron divine weapon with bare hands was a first for him!
If he hadn’t witnessed it with his own eyes, he would never have believed such a thing could happen!
“Have you seen enough?”
Sean’s intention in displaying this feat in front of everyone was not to intimidate the ancestral elder, but rather to deliberately showcase it to the one-eyed elder, to make him aware of his uniqueness and thus earn his attention. Only then would the one-eyed elder not easily let go of this “big fish”!
With that!
He raised the two broken pieces of the staff and proclaimed coldly, “Now, you can die!”
As the words fell!
He was about to move in and end the ancestral elder’s life!
“Wait!”
At that moment, someone stepped forward, none other than the Buddha Academy instructor who had been silently observing. With the outcome decided and having seen Sean’s strength, he naturally did not wish for the ancestral elder to truly perish at Sean’s hands!
Therefore!
He approached Sean with a smile and said, “Mr. Monkey, I am Kazimir of Plainwater Town’s Buddha Academy. Osvaldo Steer is my student!”
“Although Osvaldo Steer and his brother Casimir Steer have made mistakes, their crimes do not warrant death!”
“How about…”
“For the sake of my reputation and that of Buddha Academy, spare the elder’s life, what do you say?”
Approaching Sean and the ancestral elder, he subtly signaled the elder, who immediately understood and, without hesitation, knelt before Sean, disregarding his dignity in the face of life and death, and fell prostrate at Sean’s feet!
“It was my misjudgment, and I have offended Great Monkey!”
“I beg for Great Monkey’s mercy!”
The ancestral elder’s resolute action astonished the surrounding bystanders. After all, the Steer family was a renowned and prestigious clan in Plainwater Town, and the ancestral elder was highly esteemed. Yet now, in front of everyone, he knelt and begged for mercy from Sean!
“Please spare his life, Great Monkey!”
“Please spare his life, Great Monkey!”
“Please spare his life, Great Monkey!”
With the elder’s genuflection, the Steer family members didn’t dare to be negligent. Immediately, they followed suit and knelt before Sean, creating a scene of supplication in front of the mansion!
It had turned into a sea of kneeling in front of the gate!!!
