Chapter 724 Messenger of Thunder!
Hearing White’s words, Murray also squeezed out a smile and said, “That’s right, this is an honor.”
Violet’s face showed no expression.
“By the way, I heard there was another man just now…” Drachi began to ask.
But in the next second, he and the two dukes beside him turned their heads to look up at the sky.
Fang Yu and Bai Ran descended from the air and walked to Violet’s side.
“Sorry, we might need to hitch a ride on your private jet again,” Fang Yu said to Violet.
Violet didn’t speak but looked at the three great dukes in front of her.
In the Western Territory, anyone who sees a duke must salute.
“Your Grace, this is the man I mentioned earlier,” Bell said upon seeing Fang Yu, the shock still evident in his eyes.
He could never forget how the Lich King, who had brought them tremendous fear, was brutally beaten and killed with one strike by Fang Yu.
“Oh? So it’s him?” The three great dukes looked at Fang Yu together, sizing him up.
But moments later, confusion appeared in all three pairs of eyes.
In their view, a true powerhouse had a quality and aura that couldn’t be concealed, recognizable at first glance.
This was especially obvious between powerful individuals.
However, the three of them couldn’t see such qualities in Fang Yu.
No matter how they looked at him, Fang Yu didn’t seem as powerful as Bell had described.
At this moment, all three had the same feeling.
Bell’s previous words were mostly exaggerated.
Because compared to Bell, they trusted their own intuition and experience more.
After confirming this point, the way they looked at Fang Yu changed.
“What’s your name?” Murray asked coldly.
“Fang Yu,” Fang Yu answered.
“The Lich King, was he killed by you?” Drachi asked from the side.
These three spoke with a condescending air.
Fang Yu didn’t like this feeling. He raised an eyebrow and said, “What if he was?”
The impatience in Fang Yu’s tone was very obvious.
The three great dukes all frowned.
Bell’s expression changed slightly behind them.
He had witnessed Fang Yu’s strength firsthand and also held the three dukes in the highest regard.
He didn’t want to offend either side, nor did he want to see conflict between them.
So he immediately said, “Your Grace, he’s not from the Western Territory and may not be familiar with our etiquette.”
“I heard you were also present when Gary was killed?” Murray asked again.
By this point, Fang Yu was too lazy to respond to him and turned his head, intending to speak to Violet.
“I want to ask you, did Gary have any special items on him?” Murray continued to ask.
Hearing this question, Fang Yu’s eyes flickered. He turned his head to look at Murray without speaking.
Their gazes collided in the air.
Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “You’re right… there was indeed an item that I took.”
Murray said in a deep voice, “Gary was a criminal of the Western Territory. We thank you on behalf of the Western Territory for eliminating him. But all items left by Gary should be received by us, the people of the Western Territory.”
“Oh? Are you implying that I should hand over that item?” Fang Yu asked.
“Yes,” Murray nodded expressionlessly.
Standing beside him, Drachi and White exchanged glances, both with strange looks in their eyes.
Murray’s words weren’t particularly problematic. But in reality, since Gary was eliminated by Fang Yu… or Violet, it was perfectly reasonable for them to take items from Gary’s body.
For a dignified duke to demand spoils of war from someone else… such behavior was beneath their station.
However, Murray had always been known for his peculiar personality, which Drachi and White were well aware of, so they didn’t intervene.
“What exactly is this item you’re referring to?” Fang Yu asked.
“The item is in your hands, how would I know?” Murray’s eyes moved slightly as he countered.
“If you don’t even know what it is, why are you asking me for it? Perhaps I just took a pair of Gary’s pants?” Fang Yu smiled.
Murray’s patience had been completely worn away by Fang Yu.
Especially Fang Yu’s attitude, which was quite flippant.
As a duke, he was accustomed to people being respectful in his presence.
Moreover, Gary’s death… itself made him feel angry!
Now, his anger truly ignited.
“I never repeat myself,” Murray said with his hands behind his back, looking down at Fang Yu. “Now, I command you to hand over the item you obtained from Gary.”
Each word Murray spoke was extremely heavy.
At the same time, the pressure emanating from him was subtly increasing.
The duke was angry!
Bell behind them, and Violet beside them, both changed their expressions.
To oppose a duke was equivalent to opposing the Angel Church, and opposing the Angel Church was equivalent to opposing the entire Western Territory!
“Command? You’re acting like an emperor?” Fang Yu smiled faintly and shook his head. “What if I don’t give it to you? What can you do to me?”
Murray’s eye corners trembled slightly, clearly furious to the extreme.
The aura emanating from him grew increasingly powerful.
“Cultivation level probably between peak Yuan Ying stage and early Hua Shen stage.”
From the aura Murray was emitting, Fang Yu quickly determined his strength.
This strength was indeed impressive, especially in a place like the Western Territory, sufficient to rule over a region.
But to act so high and mighty in front of Fang Yu was simply embarrassing.
Fang Yu wouldn’t tolerate such behavior.
Having lived for nearly five thousand years, he had experienced many dynasties and seen many emperors.
Facing these people, he had never once bowed his head.
Compared to those rulers, this so-called duke of the Western Territory didn’t even count as anything.
Therefore, Fang Yu didn’t take Murray seriously at all.
Murray’s face turned frosty as he coldly shouted, “Kneel before me!”
His voice exploded like a thunderclap!
At the same time, a powerful energy crashed down onto Fang Yu from above.
“Boom!”
The ground beneath Fang Yu’s feet exploded violently!
Bai Ran and Violet immediately retreated, while Bell, who hadn’t reacted in time, was blasted away.
As for Drachi and White standing beside Murray, they looked at each other in surprise.
They hadn’t expected Murray to actually get angry.
“Murray, I suggest you calm down…” White thought for a moment before speaking.
“This kid obviously doesn’t respect us dukes! He’s challenging us, challenging the Angel Church!” Murray glanced at White and said coldly.
Seeing Murray elevate the issue to the level of the Angel Church, White could only close his mouth, his eyes full of helplessness.
Then, he and Drachi both stepped back.
“Sigh, this young man really… wouldn’t it be better to just hand over that item?” White sighed and said.
“It doesn’t matter. We can use this opportunity to see if this young man is as formidable as Bell claimed,” Drachi smiled.
“Isn’t it obvious? This young man… can’t be that powerful,” White shrugged and said.
Violet, who had retreated to the back, watched Fang Yu confronting Murray with a complicated expression.
In a sense, Fang Yu had saved her life today.
So at this moment, even if Fang Yu could defeat Murray, she should step in and stand on Fang Yu’s side.
But doing so would mean becoming enemies with a duke.
The consequences of such an action would be devastating for the Violet Organization, which was based in the Western Territory.
Bai Ran, however, hadn’t thought that far.
He stared intently at Fang Yu, only wanting to learn something when Fang Yu made his move.
As for other matters, he hadn’t considered them at all.
…
“You shouldn’t have provoked me,” Murray said.
“Actually, I’m very curious about how your brain works,” Fang Yu said puzzledly. “Didn’t you just hear that the Lich King died at my hands? Why do you still dare to attack me? Are you so confident that you’re stronger than the Lich King?”
Actually, Fang Yu already knew the answer to this.
It was because of his Qi Condensation stage.
Since thousands of years ago, he had always been in this state.
No matter what he did, he was basically always questioned.
Because, except for himself, even his master didn’t know exactly which layer of Qi Condensation stage he was at.
In most people’s eyes, Qi Condensation was just Qi Condensation, the most basic level.
Of course, Fang Yu didn’t mind being underestimated; on the contrary, he liked the feeling.
This way, he didn’t need to deliberately keep a low profile. He could wait for people like Murray to bring their faces up to be slapped hard.
Hearing Fang Yu’s words, the killing intent on Murray could no longer be concealed and surged to the heavens!
He clenched his fists and took a step back.
“Bang!”
A dazzling electric light exploded around his body!
Countless dense lightning bolts appeared around his body, constantly flickering!
Seeing this scene, the two great dukes, Drachi and White, behind him changed their expressions.
It seemed Murray was serious!
He actually directly used the lightning element bestowed upon him by the Angel Church!
Lightning Emissary, Murray!
This was another title of Murray’s that resounded throughout the Western Territory, besides being a duke!
