Berserk God of War

As he finished speaking, Ba Lie Venerable let his True Qi surge out in torrents.

Bringing his Venerable Realm demon beast mount, and of course all the Emperor Martial Stage demon beasts, he pressed down on Sikong Jing like mad.

Only by taking down Sikong Jing would he be qualified to gamble.

Facing Ba Lie Venerable and a whole group of powerful demon beasts pressing in nonstop, Sikong Jing merely shrugged...

”Unfortunately, you don’t get to gamble.”

As his words fell, Sikong Jing suddenly fixed his gaze on that group of demon beast mounts, naturally including Ba Lie Venerable’s mount, and barked, ”All demon beasts, immediately throw off Ba Lie Venerable and leave Ba Lie Mansion.”

As soon as these words came out, Ba Lie Venerable was stunned on the spot. Sikong Jing was actually ordering his mounts and so on—what kind of joke was this?

But this ”joke” was just that big...

Including Ba Lie Venerable’s demon beast mount, all the demon beasts actually started trembling at this instant.

Suddenly... awooo!

All the demon beast mounts belonging to Gong Ying and the others howled and turned tail to run, their speed like they’d been scared out of their wits.

They screeched weirdly again and again, yet didn’t utter half a proper word.

Of course they were scared. They’d suddenly felt the terrifying aura of a superior Fierce Beast. If they didn’t run, were they supposed to sit and wait for death?

As for Ba Lie Venerable’s mount, it was a Venerable Realm existence...

Its realm was higher than Sikong Jing’s, but now Sikong Jing’s combat strength was already on par with Ba Lie Venerable, so it only struggled for a short while before it forcefully threw Ba Lie Venerable off its back.

”Sorry, Ba Lie, but I’ve got to go too.”

With that said, this mount didn’t even think about it before bolting on the spot, once again leaving Ba Lie Venerable all alone.

”Get back here, you—get your ass back here! What the hell are you all running for?”

After being dumbstruck, Ba Lie Venerable roared, trying to call his mansion’s demon beast mounts back, but the demon beasts only ran faster, disappearing before his eyes in the blink of an eye, like they’d seen a ghost.

Such a scene left Ba Lie Venerable dumbfounded, and his mentality completely collapsed at this moment.

He was about to bet everything, only for his chips to run off right then and there.

”What kind of method is this? Just what kind of method are you using?”

Ba Lie Venerable was honestly falling apart. Holy Artifacts, terrifying combat strength, even forced control of troops—those he could still explain away.

But his demon beast mounts being scared away by him—what the hell was that?

In response, Sikong Jing only shrugged and countered, ”Ba Lie, you’re still not running?”

He of course wouldn’t say that he was the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts; any demon beast that saw him and was weaker than him would definitely run...

Naturally, Sikong Jing wouldn’t casually use this method to scare off demon beasts that were too powerful. Otherwise if the demon beasts spread the news that he was a juvenile Fierce Beast, that would be troublesome.

But now, their master Ba Lie Venerable was about to die, so there was no need to worry about this problem.

As their master, he might be willing to believe what they said...

But other people absolutely wouldn’t believe that a living, breathing person like Sikong Jing could actually be a Fierce Beast.

They’d only think Sikong Jing had borrowed some terrifying Beast Blood–type method.

Still, this method of scaring off powerful demon beasts should be used as little as possible. If he couldn’t control the aura of the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts properly, it might attract attacks from even more powerful demon beasts. Sikong Jing had always been cautious about this.

And right now, Sikong Jing certainly didn’t want to fight here; he wanted Ba Lie Venerable to run...

He had already sent word to Murong Jianyun not to come, so he naturally couldn’t fight in Ba Lie Mansion, lest he be ambushed by the Master of Dark Tower.

”Run...”

Sikong Jing’s word instantly made Ba Lie Venerable shudder fiercely as he let out a ghostly screech...

He did not know Murong Jianyun wasn’t coming, so of course he didn’t even think about it before turning to flee. He had to hurry and get out of Overlord City.

Watching Ba Lie Venerable turn into a streak of flowing light, Sikong Jing lifted his head and laughed, shouting, ”Ba Lie, where do you think you’re going!”

With that, he likewise turned into a streak of light and chased after him...

The three words ”where do you think you’re going” boomed out in all directions, making the people on the streets around Ba Lie Mansion look up at the sky, each of them somewhat dazed and confused. Just now there had been the aura of a Soldier Killing Array appearing at Ba Lie Mansion.

Then there was a demon beast riot. What was going on now?

Someone looked at the two streaks of flowing light in the sky and muttered, ”Looks like... Ba Lie Venerable is being hunted down?”

As soon as these words came out...

Everyone on the street was utterly bewildered. Hunting down Ba Lie Venerable inside Overlord City—whose guts were that fat?

And this was exactly what Sikong Jing wanted: to let everyone in Overlord City know that he was currently hunting down Ba Lie Venerable... Same as before, he wanted to make his Demon reputation even more terrifying.

...

At the same time, Qian Ta, who was rushing toward Ba Lie Mansion, suddenly froze his gaze.

When the aura of a Soldier Killing Array had appeared at Ba Lie Mansion just now, Qian Ta had already slowed his steps slightly. And now, hearing someone shout that Ba Lie Venerable was being hunted, he naturally understood what was going on.

Qian Ta’s mouth twitched, and he couldn’t help cursing, ”Ba Lie really is a piece of trash, making me happy for nothing.”

Originally, Ba Lie Venerable’s message to him had been that he could one hundred percent capture the Soul Dominator’s Heir alive.

Turned out that ”one hundred percent” was bullshit. In no time at all he’d been chased in reverse.

”Forget it, this wasn’t in the plan to begin with.”

”As for subduing Ba Lie, since he’s just trash and got exposed right after he tried to defect, I won’t bother with whether he lives or dies.”

Saying this, Qian Ta was about to move away from the direction of Ba Lie Mansion...

He naturally couldn’t possibly go save Ba Lie Venerable. And of course, it was still because this was Overlord City. In his view, Murong Jianyun could appear at any time because of this chase involving Ba Lie.

How could Qian Ta be stupid enough to walk into the trap himself?

However, just as he was preparing to flash away in another direction, he suddenly paused again...

”According to Ba Lie’s earlier message...”

”Since he said one hundred percent, he must have been extremely confident, so how did the Soul Dominator’s Heir break the situation?”

”Ba Lie is being chased and fleeing; Ba Lie Mansion should be safe now. I’ll go take a look first.”

Qian Ta suddenly made this decision...

Since they already attached such importance to the Soul Dominator’s Heir, Qian Ta naturally had to carefully investigate everything about Sikong Jing.

So, with a single flash, he continued heading in the direction of Ba Lie Mansion.

...

Elsewhere, Xiong Tingting, who had just entered the city not long ago, vaguely heard Sikong Jing’s voice as well.

She also vaguely saw two streaks of flowing light shoot into the sky...

Her heart immediately settled quite a bit. Fortunately, Young Master Sikong was fine, but he seemed to be counter-hunting this Ba Lie Venerable. Then what was going on with Pei Xie? Had he managed to communicate properly with Murong Datian Decision?

Still carrying worries, Xiong Tingting could do nothing; she could only continue forward with the Ba Jiang from Xianwu Town.

...

Batian Inner City, inside Heavenly Decision Hall!

Just a moment earlier, the hall had been dead silent.

Because all the Heavenly Decision and Earth Decision Makers of Overlord Commerce had sensed the sudden appearance of Soldier Killing aura at Ba Lie Mansion.

After that, Murong Jianyun flew into a rage and was about to rush to Ba Lie Mansion. He had just received a report that Leng Sha and Bai Xiaojin had returned riding the Split Armor Flying Scorpion and had just entered Batian Inner City.

So he could naturally guess that Sikong Jing had returned.
