Chapter 1264
Purr, purr....
The purrling emitted a few more sounds that Yang Qi translated.
“You think a talisman from this so-called Patriarch Deva can deal with me? Do you bitches want to die or something? I could wipe out the entire House of God Ordainment if I felt like it. Paramount God? Hah! More like Paramount Ant!”
Only Yang Qi was capable of understanding what the purrling was saying, and even he was taken aback by the tone the purrling was using. As far as he was concerned, they were in a very dangerous situation. He could have controlled the situation if they were dealing with a single Consummate God. But there were too many Consummate Gods here. And he also knew that he couldn’t handle Patriarch Deva’s talisman.
Yet the purrling itself didn’t seem to be even slightly worried.
More than ever, Yang Qi realized that the purrling was completely mysterious and unpredictable.
“What did you just say?” someone said. The faction leaders had all risen to their feet with looks of complete shock on their face, as if they couldn't believe what they had just heard. And they were all staring at Yang Qi.
Although he had merely been translating, the words had still come out of his mouth. And they had been very biting. He had essentially said that they were all complete weaklings who could be defeated with a single blow.
They were Consummate Gods, and he was only a Lesser God! To them, he might as well have been a slave, yet he had dared to say the things he had.
The atmosphere was tense, and it seemed like fighting could break out at any moment. However, Dragon Floret said, “Hold on, everyone.”
Walking out from behind his table, he approached Jadefall. “Jadefall, is that really what your pet just said? Or did it come from you? Is that little punk standing next to you intentionally provoking us? You need to be very clear about your stance here. Are you really going to defy a decision made by the Primeval Chaos Assembly? If so, we can just expel you from the sect and brand you as a traitor and enemy! Then everyone will have the right to punish you, and not even your purrling will be able to keep you safe. In other words, you’ll end up dead. So let me be clear: you absolutely, positively mustn't piss us off!”
“I think the purrling made itself very clear,” Jadefall replied, not looking even a little frightened. “This isn’t a banquet, Dragon Floret, it’s an ambush. A deadly ambush. Incidentally, you’ll find that expelling me from the sect won’t be a very easy task, so your threats aren’t going to work.”
“Oh, I know that,” Dragon Floret replied. “Trust me I did my research. If you refuse to do things the easy way, we’ll do them the hard way. And in the end, you’ll get what's coming to you. Punks like you always do.”
As the words left his mouth, he reached out with fingers splayed.
It was a move that seemed to extend and retract at the same time. It blurred with countless transformations, making it seem like an invincible ghost-god that, before anyone could react, had already reached the top of Yang Qi’s head. In fact, it moved so quickly that no one present could possibly have reacted to it.
This was a unique move Dragon Floret used when he wanted to capture someone. It was a consummate skill from the martial path, something called the God-Dragon’s Empty-Void Claw, which could mysteriously pass through the void like the claw of a god dragon to capture any target.
It actually wasn't a killing technique, no matter how many times Dragon Floret had tried to make it one. However, it was still deadly. In the past, he had once captured an expert from the dao of devils with this move. The result was that the man, upon being struck, shrank down to only a few inches tall. And the effect was permanent. It was really a miserable fate.
Remembering that event, everyone present was now sure that Yang Qi would shortly be dead.
WHOOSH!
As the hand descended, Yang Qi vanished, ensuring that Dragon Floret didn’t even touch him. Instead, a bubble remained in the spot he had just occupied.
It was only the size of a chicken egg, but as soon as Dragon Floret grabbed it, it started expanding, simultaneously causing thunderous rumbling to echo out.
“What’s this?” Dragon Floret blurted as he realized that he had actually grabbed a bubble of surging energy. Then that bubble began expanding with explosive speed, forcing Dragon Floret to shoot backward.
“Be suppressed!” he growled as the bubble exploded outward, surrounded by crackling lightning. Dragon Floret’s energy swirled into the shape of a god dragon as he continued, “Grand Dragon Consumes Pearls!”
The enormous dragon opened its mouth and consumed both the bubble and the lightning.
Meanwhile, Yang Qi was standing off to the side.
“That was an impressive move, Dragon Floret,” he said, clicking his tongue in admiration. “Unfortunately, it's not enough to cause problems for me. You’re a late Consummate God, right? What a surprise you can’t deal with me, a mere Lesser God.”
“A purrling bubble?” Dragon Floret said, various expressions flashing across his face. “Was your purrling causing mischief just now, Jadefall?”
“If that’s what you want to believe, sure,” Jadefall said. Of course, she knew full well that it was Yang Qi, not the purrling. She just wasn’t inclined to say it.
“Fine. That beast has been causing problems ever since it arrived in the House of God Ordainment. It's definitely an inauspicious creature. I'm taking it captive right now to ensure it can’t cause any disasters for the sect!”
All of a sudden, a fluttering talisman popped into being behind him.
