Chapter 555: Xiang Kuang escapes in a panic and begins revenge

“Boom!”

The sky, which had cleared up like after a rain due to the cessation of battle, was instantly covered in dark clouds, with lightning flashing and thunder rumbling, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Following closely, devastating attacks came one after another, and the curtain of light falling from the sky poured down like a reversed Tianhe River.

“I’d like to see who has the guts to set their sights on my Seven Kings City!”

Xiang Kuang threw the box aside, gripped the golden saber in his hand, and charged forward.

“Bang bang!”

They fought in the sky ten thousand feet above the sea, and huge roars echoed for thousands of miles, and the terrifying Divine Might instantly crushed all the Yao Beasts in this sea area.

Xiang Kuang had overestimated himself and underestimated his opponents.

After only two rounds of engagement, he returned heavily wounded.

Because he was merely at Saint King Realm Perfection, while the opponents had four, being able to fight for two rounds and still be alive was already considered lucky.

“So, it’s the dogs of the Azure Firmament Merchant Guild! You all remember this!”

This was Hang Prefecture, which had been taken by the Azure Firmament Merchant Guild, so it was normal to encounter an ambush by the Azure Firmament Merchant Guild’s Earth-Rank Guardians here.

Also, privately, many people did say that the Azure Firmament Merchant Guild’s Earth-Rank Guardians were their hired thugs or even dogs, but there were really few who dared to say it to their faces.

Xiang Kuang’s face was cold, and his eyes looked as if they wanted to devour someone, but he left behind a harsh threat and then turned to flee.

“Still so arrogant even when you’re about to die!”

“Where do you think you’re going!”

“Chase!”

The bald strong man took the lead in the pursuit, looking as if he would not give up until he had taken down the opponent.

Behind him were two more Earth-Rank Guardians; the three of them together made it safer to confront Xiang Kuang.

The remaining Earth-Rank Guardian, meanwhile, led the other Earth-Rank Guardians to encircle Xiang Kuang’s subordinates.

Xiang Kuang’s subordinates were not weak either; the weakest were Great Saint Realm, and there were also two Saint King Realm, but only Saint King Realm Second and Third Stage.

As the son of an Emperor Realm expert, he originally had many followers, but it was only because his son, Xiang Zhantian, had expended too much to deal with Xu Luo and his two companions earlier.

As a result, Xiang Kuang was left with only this small core group.

Now that their boss, Xiang Kuang, had fled, they, like the Wen Family experts earlier, had no power to resist.

They never expected that history would repeat itself so soon.

The key was that last time they were the killers, and this time they were the ones being killed; in fact, they died even faster than the Wen Family experts.

After clearing the battlefield, Xu Hao and his group waited quietly.

After about half an hour, the bald strong man and his two companions returned, cursing and grumbling.

“Damn it! I used every ounce of strength I had, and that dog still got away.”

“No choice, who told him he has an Emperor Realm father? The treasures on him are indeed numerous and powerful.”

As Saint King Realm Perfection, if they fought to the death, Xiang Kuang would not be a match for the three of them.

However, Xiang Kuang had many life-saving trump cards, and he was single-mindedly focused on escaping, so the three of them really couldn’t keep him, and could only watch him flee.

This outcome was completely within Xu Hao’s expectations, but he was still a little worried that Xiang Kuang wouldn’t be able to escape; now that he knew he had fled, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s good that he ran; only by running will he seek opportunities for revenge.

This was his thought, but he still said aloud,

“It’s fine. Xiang Kuang’s plan this time was that Yao Beast. Now not only have we snatched their target, but we’ve also taken care of all the usable people under him, which can be considered getting some revenge.”

“That’s true.”

Everyone returned happily and drank together.

In contrast, Xiang Kuang, who had barely escaped by using multiple life-saving trump cards, was in a sorry state, and his heart was filled with extreme anger.

Moreover, Xiang Kuang was afraid that the other party was still pursuing him, so he dared not slack off in the slightest, running and recovering at the same time, rushing back to Seven Kings City without stopping, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

“Damn it! These damned dogs of the Azure Firmament Merchant Guild! They actually knew our plan and ambushed me there!”

“Unless this grudge is avenged, I will never rest in peace!”

The enraged Xiang Kuang, on his way home, happened to encounter his good brother, Liu Lian.

“Brother Xiang, what happened to you?”

Cang Lu King had two sworn brothers; Xiang Kuang was the son of Xiang Qian, and this Liu Lian was the son of the other sworn brother.

So they had a very good relationship and called each other brothers.

Xiang Kuang’s eyes were sinister, “I was set up.”

After he briefly explained his experience this time, Liu Lian also became furious.

“These dogs from the Azure Firmament Merchant Guild are truly courting death!”

Xiang Kuang gritted his teeth and said, “I will not let them off!”

“Definitely! When the time comes, I’ll bring people, and we’ll go together!” Liu Lian affirmed.

Xiang Kuang said in a deep voice, “Just us might not be enough; they have four Earth-Rank Guardians.”

“Then let’s go to the Divine Might King’s residence and pull in a few more people; those few fought with the Azure Firmament Merchant Guild’s people about a year ago,” Liu Lian said.

Seven Kings City and the Azure Firmament Merchant Guild had a long-standing grudge.

Coupled with the fact that the Azure Firmament Merchant Guild’s branches were spread across various prefectures of the Tian Yuan World, while the bandits of Seven Kings City plundered wherever they went, without any regard.

Therefore, the number of frictions and clashes was quite high, but each time it was merely a skirmish, without completely tearing off the facade.

Moreover, in most past situations, it was Seven Kings City that initiated the attack; this time, the people of the Azure Firmament Merchant Guild actually dared to actively ambush them, which made it difficult for them to accept.

It had always been Seven Kings City robbing others; they had never been chased and fled in such a sorry state by others.

Xiang Kuang’s face was fierce, “Since we’re going to fight, let’s call more people and make them submit once and for all!”

“Good! We’ll go now!”

Xiang Kuang and Liu Lian went around the city looking for people, targeting the descendants of the Seven Kings and their Saint Realm subordinates; most people agreed to this operation, and it could even be said that they hit it off instantly.

After all, the wealth of the Azure Firmament Merchant Guild was obvious to all, and the bandits of Seven Kings City had long coveted it, but there had never been a suitable opportunity.

Thus, a revenge plan by the bandits of Seven Kings City targeting the Hang Prefecture branch of the Azure Firmament Merchant Guild was slowly taking shape.
