1506 Trapped in the City of the Four Kings

Li Ning’s eyes widened, radiating immense fear.

This was too frightening! Traveling Buddha was like an unkillable cockroach. Not only was he not crumbling under the full power of the Water Devil, he had released a mysterious golden light that was slowly crawling toward Li Ning.

“Don’t come near me! Get away!” Li Ning cried out in panic.

But it was no longer up to Li Ning how things went. Traveling Buddha had a faint smile, as if he was enjoying the panicked look of his opponent.

Xia Fan found it strange. He had never heard of Traveling Buddha’s Battle Buddha Golden Light being capable of leaving its host, but right now, Traveling Buddha did seem to have the ability to send out his golden light. What was going on here?

Had something happened to Traveling Buddha while he hadn’t been paying attention?

The four seated elders all had shocked expressions. The fat elder seemed to be very admiring of Traveling Buddha’s performance, stroking his chin and saying, “Sending out golden light is a sign of a Killer Buddha. This battle is already decided!

“He truly is a descendant of Nine Provinces Buddha! At such a young age, he’s already reached the level of sending out golden light. He is no longer at Battle Buddha, but at the second level, Killer Buddha!”

“Hmph!” the hawk-nosed elder snorted, appearing deeply unhappy. He mumbled, “Since he’s a Killer Buddha, then he should hurry up and end this battle. What’s he up to? Trying to torture Li Ning?”

The fat elder laughed. “What about it? Li Ning was the one who chose this opponent! He felt like he was no match for the speedy Xia Fan, so he tried his hand at Traveling Buddha, who he thought was weaker. But it turns out that the soft persimmon ended up being a stone, so who can he blame but himself? Li Ning has to pay the price for not taking a descendant of Nine Provinces Buddha seriously.”

The two elders were clearly rivals. The fat elder’s smile was like that of a tiger, and there was a blade hidden in his words. The hawk-nosed elder turned green in anger. The other two elders just seemed to go with the flow, only saying good things.

Perhaps Traveling Buddha felt like he had reached his goal, or more probably because he was bored, he suddenly shook his wrist, and the golden light exploded toward Li Ning.

Whoosh!~

The golden thread was like an unstoppable divine art, instantly piercing through Li Ning’s forehead, shattering his skull and destroying his brain. In the entire process, Li Ning didn’t react in the slightest, such was the vast gap between them.

Li Ning’s eyes instantly rolled over, collapsing like a deflating balloon.

The Water Devil came apart, turning into a pool of water that rampaged down the contours of the valley and into the distance.

The result was completely unexpected. When the battle ended, there was complete silence.

After a long while, everyone began to cheer. This was not a battle, but a torture session. At some point, Traveling Buddha had reached the level where he could instantly kill Li Ning, but the ignorant Li Ning had taken Traveling Buddha for a weakling. The thought of it was very amusing!

“Originally, I wanted to make the guy wet his pants, but it was taking too long, so I got bored and just killed him,” Traveling Buddha casually explained to Xia Fan.

This guy was definitely a weirdo. Even a battle to the death couldn’t make him serious!

“When did you get the ability to send out your golden light?” Xia Fan asked curiously.

Traveling Buddha frowned for a while before shaking his head. “Recently, I guess. I’ve forgotten exactly when.”

Xia Fan almost threw up blood. He had forgotten something as important as going from Battle Buddha to Killer Buddha? Just how thoughtless was he!?

“What’s your current rank?” Xia Fan asked.

“I haven’t tested it. It should be a little higher than yours,” Traveling Buddha said vaguely.

Xia Fan: “…”

…

The process had been rather harrowing, but the result was nothing to write home about.

In any case, Traveling Buddha had easily killed Li Ning and announced to the world that he had reached the level of Killer Buddha. Anyone who wanted to stay alive had best not mess with him!

After the Blood Battle, the four elders met with Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha, ordering them to live well within the city so that they could serve the Four Great Clans in the future. As for Xia Fan’s desire to leave, they muddled past it.

It appeared that the City of the Four Kings was not a place one could enter and exit as one pleased. Once one was here, it was no longer up to them whether they could leave or not!

“You should be happy about this,” the fat elder smiled. “The Four Great Clans have been in seclusion for many years. If you leave, wouldn’t you essentially reveal the place where the divinities secluded themselves to all the world?

“Heed my advice and take up residence in the City of the Four Kings. It won’t be long before our masters will begin their public selection from the youth of the city so that they can go and serve in the God Metropolis. You will both have a chance. This is a wonderful opportunity you won’t get outside.”

These four elders were the representatives of the Four Great Clans. Their meaning was very simple. They wanted Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha to stay so that they could become servants to those people in the God Metropolis, just like them.

Traveling Buddha and Xia Fan left the castle with dark expressions. Jane was waiting outside for them. With her were three other maids from the castle.

The four of them helped clean up a building in the city for Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha. Until they got permission to leave, this place would be their residence.

The other three maids quickly departed. Jane stayed to tell Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha about life in the city, even considerately cooking a meal for them.

As the three of them dined together, Jane asked in confusion, “Why don’t the two of you seem happy? Isn’t staying here a good thing?

“In the City of the Four Kings, food, clothes, and homes are all provided for free by the managers, so there are no worries in life. Moreover, the two of you are warriors, so you will even have the opportunity to serve in the God Metropolis. The descendants of the gods live there, and I’ve heard from people in the castle that the gods are very formidable.”

Traveling Buddha pursed his lips. “I have no interest in being a slave to another.”

These words struck at Jane’s pride. She was an orphan, a servant of the castle, and she felt like Traveling Buddha’s words were disrespecting her.

Xia Fan hastily smiled and moved to smooth things over. “Jane, Traveling Buddha doesn’t mean it that way. It’s just that we’ve gotten used to freedom on the outside. We’re finding it hard to adapt to the fact that we suddenly can’t leave.

“Right, I heard from the four city lords that there’s a selection method for going to the God Metropolis. What’s going on there?”

Jane had a kind heart, and she knew that Xia Fan was changing the topic on purpose. She accepted it and patiently explained, “Oh, it’s the annual selection. The God Metropolis has a camp specifically for training warriors. Though the people living in the City of the Four Kings are all servants, if they perform well, they will have a chance to learn from the descendants of the gods.

“You two are outstanding warriors, so you should have this opportunity. I don’t know much about this. You should ask Uncle Luolin. He knows quite a lot.”

Traveling Buddha and Xia Fan glanced at each other. According to the report from Drunken Buddha, Xia Fan was looking for someone here that knew the inside story, and this person had a high chance of being Gardener Luolin.

Xia Fan smiled. “Where is Uncle Luolin now? We want to pay him a visit.”

Jane looked at Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha. “Uncle has a rather strange temperament. He normally doesn’t see outsiders, so let me ask him first.”

—

After concluding the rather awkward meal, Jane left. Traveling Buddha and Xia Fan had nothing better to do than temporarily take up residence in this building.

The next morning, before heading off to work in the castle, Jane came to Xia Fan’s residence. She said to Xia Fan, “Uncle Luolin has agreed to see you two. Once I get off work, I’ll come to get you two so that you can have dinner at his home.”

Xia Fan nodded. “No problem. I’ll wait for you.”
