Chapter 143 Windfall
Chapter 143 Windfall
"Hey, you three stupid beasts, what're you waiting for!? Are you out of your mind?" the bald man swore angrily, seeing their three spirit-manipulated beasts recoil at the roar of the strange creature that accompanied this weakling manipulator.
Uriah was no longer squatting. Instead, it stood up and continued to move forward. Although it walked slowly, it gave off the aura of a master beast, imposing and fierce. And whenever it took a step, the three spirit-manipulated beasts grew even more fearful, and immediately stepped back.
Uriah drew up and let forth another magnificent roar.
The three spirit-manipulated beasts suddenly became as skittish as frightened fawns and began to flee in a scattered mess. They disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The Three Powers at the Gehenna Border were stunned by this situation, their eyes wide open in surprise. They could never have anticipated that Rocky's spirit-manipulated beast was strong enough to scare away their three beasts only by roaring! And to think that one of their beasts even had two-star strength! It was quite unbelievable! Then they looked at Uriah carefully and were shocked to discover that its appearance had changed. It now looked quite intimidating! With the fierce roar it had just made, it was discernibly quite a formidable spirit-manipulated beast. So they began to think about the possibility of stealing it from its master.
"Brother, this spirit-manipulated beast looks pretty good! As long as we kill him, it's ours!" the fat man said, his eyes shining with greed.
"So, what the hell are you waiting for? Take him down!" the scarred man shouted at his two companions, gesturing towards Rocky.
The fat man and the bald man glanced at each other, and immediately attacked Rocky from both sides. They confidently used their self-taught spiritual martial arts against him. They were still confident that
killing him would be a piece of cake.
"How pathetic you are! You chose to be robbers instead of being self-reliant. You are lowlier than a poor beggar who has no hands or feet. Even he knows how to earn his own bread. What's the use of your limbs if this is what you use them for? Let me remove them for you!" Rocky's eyes grew cold and steely, and as his spiritual power suddenly rose, he disappeared in front of them in a flash. The spirit manipulators of the sixth team were all the way behind the huge boulder. He no longer needed to hide his strength.
The fat man and the bald man were stunned by Rocky's sudden disappearance. Just as they turned to look for him, a figure with aggressive spiritual power appeared beside the fat man. An overwhelming spiritual power burst out from his palm and hit the fat man's left shoulder at the speed of thunder. The telltale crunch of bones breaking was heard, and the fat man's left shoulder was immediately skewed and twisted. His bones had been ground to tiny shards. The fat man fell to the ground right away with a shriek, and rolled back and forth with his other hand clutching his disabled arm.
"Fatty..." The bald man froze, in total shock at this scene. In a split second, their target had disappeared, and the next second, one of their companions was wailing on the ground!
"You son of a bitch!" the bald man yelled fiercely. He never believed that Rocky could be so strong. It must have been a coincidence! Or perhaps, this boy had been playing tricks on them!
However, the wind was knocked out of his lungs by an overpowering force suddenly pressing down on him. He couldn't move at all when he saw a tall and strong figure become visible in front of him.
Then, a beam of spiritual power passed through the bald man's right leg. He felt a sharp pain, only able to watch wide-eyed as his right leg was twisted violently. He fell askew on the ground, his facial features twisted in agony.
The scarred man's face grew taut with fear as he watched his two companions lose the use of their hand and leg in the blink of an eye. At this moment, he noticed that Rocky was walking towards him with a cold face. His spiritual power still seemed very weak, and he looked worthless. But this weak spirit manipulator had done the unexpected. The scarred man looked at his two companions, groaning in pain.
"Stop! Or I'll kill you. I've reached the fourth grade of the Mortal Stage, one grade higher than them. Although you just beat them, you'd better not try me!" the scarred man shouted with a look of terror.
"What do you want to lose, your hands or your feet?" Rocky demanded relentlessly.
"You... What the fuck are you showing off? Go to hell!" Suddenly he attacked Rocky angrily with one leg kick combined with a beam of spiritual power. However, his target wasn't Rocky but the ground beneath Rocky's feet.
With a bang, the leg slammed onto the ground and immediately caused a dust storm that covered Rocky's sight.
At that moment, the scarred man suddenly turned around and ran away. Obviously his attack just now was a bluff to escape.
But at the same time, long-awaited Uriah quickly caught up with the scarred man, biting his buttocks with its huge mouth.
"Ahhhhhh..."
With a scream, his buttock began to bleed profusely. A large chunk of skin and flesh had been taken off. He fell to the ground and rolled back and forth, shrieking in pain.
At this moment, Rocky found that the huge stone behind him seemed impossible to roll away. He immediately knocked the Three Powers at the Gehenna Border unconscious, and then fired a brilliant light and hit the stone. The huge stone instantly became a pile of rubble. Then he threw Three Powers at the Gehenna Border into the rubble, so that it would seem as though their wounds had been caused by the huge rock.
Soon the huge stone were pushed aside by the spirit manipulators of the sixth squad, and then they appeared in front of Rocky.
"Captain, are you alright?" Joss and Thor rushed to Rocky and asked nervously.
"I'm alright," Rocky said reassuringly, holding out his palms.
"Captain, what's going on!?" Thor keenly noticed Three Powers at the Gehenna Border lying in a pile of rubble beside him who had fainted.
"Oh, they were going to rob the hay wagon, but a huge rock fell and hit all three of them. I was lucky. They all passed out," Rocky said, shrugging his shoulders as if nothing had happened.
The spirit manipulators of sixth team were surprised to hear that the three robbers were so miserable. They wanted to rob others, but they were knocked down by an unexpected natural disaster. For once, justice was served! These wicked men indeed deserved it.
"Oh? Aren't they the big-name Three Powers at the Gehenna Border?" Joss exclaimed in surprise.
Everyone was shocked.
"Are they famous?" Rocky asked immediately.
"Captain, these three guys are notorious in this area. Though they aren't very powerful, they are as sly as foxes. They used to rob local residents and attack businessmen who pass by. They are truly shrewd criminals. And they're the most wanted criminals in our northeast military camp. There have been many attempts to arrest them, but they always managed to slip away. How unexpected that they're now lying in front of us without putting up a fight at all!" Thor laughed out loud.
"Alright, let's move on." After hearing what he said, Rocky appeared indifferent.
"Captain, why not take them with us?" Thor asked.
"Why would we?" Rocky stared at him, puzzled.
"Of course, we'll take them back to get the reward! Seizing wanted criminals is a third-class merit at least. They are already here in front of us. There's no reason for us to waste this chance! Our sixth squad has never won any merits!" Thor replied with great anticipation.
The other spirit manipulators immediately nodded in agreement, excitement shining on all of their faces. Apparently, they all thought they were lucky to have such a windfall. Of course, they had no clue that this stroke of luck had actually been all thanks to their leader. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Rocky had just wanted to teach the three pesky flies a lesson they wouldn't forget, but inadvertently won honour for his squad.
