Chapter 105: The Self-Righteous Great Rice Continent

“Go, quickly!” Murakawa collapsed to the ground, screaming hysterically. “Didn’t you hear Lord Gu’s orders? Make those people from Dami Continent hand them over to me!”

The minister, frightened, hurriedly ran out the door.

Murakawa himself was also an extraordinary being, and of fairly high rank—a third-tier transcendent. He must have consumed a source orb during the second Scarlet Descent.

This was common among the elites of various continents. When the source orbs scattered during the first Scarlet Descent, it was sudden and their effects unknown, so it was left to fate. But the second time was different; the elites naturally obtained the source orbs through certain channels.

Even those who hadn’t consumed the orbs, after developing the Qi Guidance Technique later on, would strive to become transcendent beings by any means.

Murakawa had ingested a source orb and subsequently cultivated the Qi Guidance Technique, utilizing considerable resources to reach third-tier transcendent status.

Otherwise, he couldn’t have withstood Gu’s blows.

Even though Gu restrained his power, it was beyond what ordinary people could endure. Murakawa was already quite old, yet Gu had just severed one of his arms outright.

Despite losing an arm, Murakawa still dared not leave. He only summoned two healing-type psychics to give him a simple treatment.

About eight minutes later, footsteps sounded outside the office. A squad of soldiers from Ghost Island Continent entered with real weapons, but leading the group were two blond, blue-eyed men from Dami Continent. The commander of the Ghost Island city defense coalition, Okada, swaggered behind them.

“Okada!”

Murakawa’s anger flared at the sight of Okada. If it weren’t for him, he wouldn’t be in such a disgraceful state today, nor would City D’s defenses have suffered such heavy damage.

Okada looked at the disheveled Murakawa with a stern attitude and immediately questioned, “Head, why did you send people to arrest me? I am the commander of the city defense coalition. Even if you’re the head, you have no right to detain me at will!”

“You…” Murakawa was taken aback by Okada’s deflection and shouted angrily, “Who gave you permission to intercept the Long Continent delegation? Apologize to Lord Gu immediately and beg for his forgiveness!”

Okada glanced at Gu. His instincts sparked some fear of Gu, but seeing the two Dami Continent men beside him gave him confidence. He answered boldly, “The Long Continent is carrying prohibited weapons with malicious intent. I have the right to intercept. On the contrary, Gu has committed heinous crimes in our city’s defenses. You’re not arresting him but instead detaining me. I think you’re unfit to be head. I will report you to the military council!”

Murakawa roared in fury, “Okada, you…”

“Enough,” Gu rubbed his head and said, “I don’t have time to listen to your quarrel.”

Murakawa immediately fell silent.

Gu looked at Okada and said slowly, “So it’s you causing trouble, huh?”

Okada, having witnessed Gu’s terror firsthand, instinctively moved closer to the two Dami men and said, “I am the commander of the Ghost Island city defense coalition. I have the authority to intercept and expel anyone threatening the defenses. You have committed grave crimes here in Ghost Island Continent. Await the federal government’s punishment.”

Gu raised an eyebrow contemptuously. “Is it the courage those two Dami guys have given you to speak to me like that?”

With that, Gu slowly stood and approached Okada. A terrifying pressure descended suddenly, suffocating the air around them.

Okada tensed up, his face pale.

At that moment, one of the Dami men, a middle-aged man, spoke gravely, “Gu, I am Eric.”

Gu ignored him outright.

Eric hurried on, “I am Eric, a transcendent of Dami Continent, ranked thirty-sixth globally. I represent Dami. Gu, I now demand you cease all persecution of Ghost Island Continent and surrender yourself to the federal government to confess your crimes, or else you...”

“Enough noise!”

Gu slapped Eric hard across the face.

With a deafening crack, Eric—the seventh-tier transcendent—had his head smashed by Gu’s palm, his brain matter splattering, blood flying everywhere.

Everyone in the office was stunned by this scene.

“Oh my god!”

The other Dami man shouted, “You demon! We are the strongest transcendent beings of Dami Continent, and you dare to kill Eric? You will be sanctioned by Dami, and Long Continent will suffer for your actions. This is all your fault…”

Gu suddenly reached out and grabbed the man’s neck coldly. “Don’t worry. I’ll pay a visit to your Dami Continent soon enough.”

With a snap, the man’s thick neck broke, and Gu tossed his corpse to the ground.

At this, Okada was utterly terrified, his whole body going limp as he collapsed. Disbelief filled his voice, “How dare you! You killed them! Do you know their status in Dami Continent? They won’t let you go. Your Long Continent will suffer massive disaster because of you!”

“Better think about how you’re going to die first.”

Gu crushed Okada’s leg bone with a single kick. Okada nearly fainted from the pain, screaming hysterically.

“Who was involved?” Gu asked slowly, placing his foot on Okada’s other leg.

Okada shouted in fear, “The Dami Continent delegation. They ordered me to make things difficult for your Long Continent. They told me to force you to stop outside the defenses to see how strong you, the top global ranked, really are. They assured me that with Dami Continent backing, Long Continent wouldn’t dare cause me trouble!”

Before Gu could respond, the disarmed Murakawa, furious, rushed over and kicked Okada hard. He roared, “Are you out of your mind? Doing whatever Dami Continent tells you without considering our own Ghost Island Continent?”

Okada yelled back, “Before the apocalypse, Dami Continent was the strongest in the world. Now with the apocalypse, Dami still holds that position. Murakawa, isn’t that what you believe too? Don’t think I donI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
