Chapter 646: Successful Man

It took a few moments for the Prefect to make the connection between the size of his gut and his success. The bookish man with the stack of Jade Tablets pulled one hand away from his cargo and covered his mouth. He clamped his hand over his mouth to stifle any sound, while the large guard beside him immediately had a sharp edge to his gaze. He glared at Sage and his hand went to the hilt of the sword on his waist. At the same time, the fat prefects face had gone red and Sage thought steam was about to pour out of his ears.

The official that Sage had bribed to get this meeting stumbled backwards. His legs gave out and he fell to the floor, kneeling in front of the Prefect and groveling. He had thought a man who named himself bribe was truly going to give the Prefect a windfall, but now he regretted everything. He tried to apologize and explain how he didnt know this man, but the Prefect merely pointed at one of the guards. The guard came over and kicked the officials face, sending him sprawling onto his back. Then the guard grabbed the official by the collar and dragged him out of the room. With the noisy and fearful man taken away to an uncertain fate, the fat man glared at Sage.

So, Mister Hui, was it? You bribed your way here just so you could insult me? Who knew that someone would pay so much just to end their own life.

The lead guard stayed at the Prefects side, while the others drew their weapons and started to advance. Five large spears were already pointed at his face while the other six held large shields and sabers, slowly advancing to box him in from all sides. Sage hadnt shown any strength whatsoever and he was much stronger than even the lead guard, so they all seemed to assume he was a regular person. They were just being careful just in case he happened to know some method of hiding his strength. The idea that he was vastly stronger than even their leader never even crossed their minds. The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.

Sage suddenly laughed. He chuckled for a while, which made the Prefect even angrier. The guards rushed forward, but Sage didnt even bother to move. A golden light sprung up around his body and there was the sound of metal clanging against metal. Their weapons skidded off the aura around Sages body and they tried again, stabbing and chopping at him with saber and spear.

The leader of the guards turned his side to face Sage so he could use his peripheral vision to check on the Prefect. What he saw startled him and he had to look directly to confirm it. Sage didnt attack, letting the man see the helpless situation. The Prefect and secretary had started to escape towards the door, but they were stopped by what they saw in the hall. It was in the shape of a man, the same four limbs, the same ten fingers and toes, but it had a smooth featureless face. It had skin like black tar, yet it didnt run or drip.

A dozen Blacksilver Pawns were waiting for them in the hallway, those faceless puppets with skin and flesh made with the Black Enhydros. The secretary stopped and ran back, hiding himself under a table, while the Prefect showed his own power. Red Qi filled the air, forming into the shape of an ox and smashing towards the Blacksilver Pawns. One of them was knocked back a step by the great force, but one of the others sent out a fist and the ox was blasted apart. The Qi dissipated, and then Prefect formed another ox, using the boundless energy of a Core Formation Cultivator to attack constantly.

The leader of the guards didnt get the opportunity to show off how much energy he had. Sage darted forward and there was a clanging sound and then something flew into the air. It spun around and landed next to the Prefects feet with a thump. The fat man was startled by the grisly object and ran back from the Blacksilver Pawns, turning around just in time to see the headless body of the guard leader falling to its knees.

You turned my people against me and got my friend killed. Yet, you cant even recognize my face. What a farce.

The fat mans Qi formed another large ox and rushed towards Sage, but he just stepped to the side and spit. A dark bolt slapped against the Prefects forehead and he screamed miserably for a while before falling lifelessly to the ground.
