《King Of All Heavens》Chapter 42: Skillful killing
Advertisement
The waitress broke into cold sweat. Ah she was really unfortunate. She didn't know what to do. The duo whom were eating were esteemed guests that the manager personally told them to satisfy while the latter party was the servant of the Second Young Master of House Xi. Famous for being a debauchee and a troublemaker in the whole Silver Crow City. She didn't want to risk offending either of the parties. Thus she was torn on what to do.
Wang Tian looked at her and then shook his head. The waitress finally heaved a sigh of relief, seeming to understand what Wang Tian met. She cupped her fists and bowed down to the duo and left.
The man clad in yellow's face was unsightly at this point as he emitted a bone-chilling cold. He looked at Wang Tian as if he was going to eat him.
Wang Tian looked at him indifferently while Senior Golem was having a hard time controlling himself. He desperately wanted to kill this imbecile who dares to disrespect his Young Master. A puny little Houtian Cultivator daring to act so arrogant in his presence? Was this not blatant challenging? Or just sheer foolishness? Either way, he couldn't accept it.
Wang Tian noticed what Senior Golem was going through so he patted his shoulder and shook his head again with a smile.
Then he looked at the man clad in yellow indifferently. Carefully releasing his Evil Intent towards the man. During his training in the past seven years, his control became much more skillful that he could use just his intent as a weapon.
The man clad in yellow coughed up a mouthful of blood and yelled out,
"You! ARE YOU COURTING DEATH?! HOW DARE YOU ATTACK ME?"
Wang Tian laughed at the scene before exerting more of his Evil Intent towards the man. The man clad in yellow's skin turned violet as he tried to break free from the pressure. But where did Wang Tian's Evil Intent come from? From one of the most primordial Qis in the whole universe! How could such a lowly character ever resist under the pressure of such a tyrannical Intent?
"Hold it right there!" Just as Wang Tian was about to finish the man clad in yellow off, a scream echoed about. This scream came from a young man clad in white. His face was very devilish as his eyes made you mesmerized when you look at them. This youth was accompanied by 2-3 middle aged men.
"Second Young Master! This servant has embarrassed you! I did the best I could, these two didn't want to leave!" The servant crawled towards the youth and grovelled at his feet
"Useless peasant!" The Second Young Master said as he delivered a powerful kick towards the man clad in yellow. Insantly finishing him off.

Wang Tian's eyes flashed when he saw this.
"Do you know who I am? I am the Second Young Master of House Xi! A top tier aristocratic clan in the whole Silver Crow City! Xi Yul!" The youth arrogantly declared.
Wang Tian just looked at him indifferently and then also exerted pressure onto him. In the blink of an eye, Xi Yul felt as if he was carrying Mount Tai over his shoulders. A loud thud echoed about as his knees fell to the floor.
"SECOND YOUNG MASTER!"
"Nephew!"
"Stay your hand!"
The people behind Xi Yul cried out as they looked at Wang Tian with immense hatred. Wang Tian just looked at them blankly and then yawned. He raised his hand, closed it into a fist and then "bang"! Xi Yul's head exploded! Blood splattering all over the floor. A headless corpse swimming in its own blood filled their eyes.
Heavens!
What have I seen?
He could easily kill the Second Young Master just like that? He barely even used his cultivation base! In fact, the remaining people never even detected even the slightest bit of fluctuation from Wang Tian.
Was he a mortal? Impossible!
Was he a god? Maybe.
These were the thoughts of the remaining people as they were all shocked by what just happened.
"Oh no!"
"Second Young Master!"
"Fuck! We're screwed!"
"You're gonna die you punk!"
The people behind the headless corpse screamed hatefully at Wang Tian.
Senior Golem looked at Wang Tian with a strange light.
'Killing using only his intent? When did he learn that? And why is his intent so powerful? He's just a Xiantian Lifeform! Although his opponents are Houtian Lifeform experts, they still should have been able to put up a fight!' Senior Golem thought to himself.
He sighed in shock and smiled as to show his admiration towards Wang Tian's power.
Wang Tian was still as calm as ever. He stood up and then walked towards the corpse to absorb its Dark Qi.
He looked at the remaining people and said, "It seems that if I don't dye the streets blood, many won't take me seriously and just look for some trouble every single day..."
At first, he really didn't want to kill since his mood was good because of the new surroundings. But now? He didn't mind it. These people were stupid enough to offer themselves to him. So why not? He wasn't going to lose anything other than just angering the faction behind these guys. But was Wang Tian the type to care? No!
'To hell with these people's backing? So what? Can they kill me? Can they hurt my family? Hmp! You're all unfortunate because you're all cultivators. If you were mortals, I would have used less direct methods. Or perhaps spare your lives' Wang Tian thought to himself.

"What nonsense are you talking about?! You dare to harm our Second Young Master!"
"Don't you know who we are?!"
"You're in big trouble now ki-"
"Quit your blather. Stop wasting my time"
Wang Tian said arrogantly. His face was now very irritated.
"Stop being arrogant kid! Surrender to us and we might leave you an intact corpse!"
A person from the other side said. This person was old and the one who called the headless Second Young Master as "Nephew"
Wang Tian glanced at him and directed all the pressure to him. This caused the others to heave a sigh of relief. However, the old man's face became pale as he started to circulate his qi inside his body.
"Die." Wang Tian uttered. Like his nephew, the old man's head exploded like fireworks. It was a very astounding scene. If it had been fireworks, it would be very spectacular. But alas, it was the head of their own ally. An elder of their house. Furthermore, he was a Zifu realm expert! In a realm that others would find it hard to reach in their entire lives! Yet he died just like that?
"You!! You killed him!" Another old man said as he coughed up blood. There were seven of them before but with the deaths of the servant, Xi Yul and the elder. They were down to only four.
"So what if I did? You can go and accompany him if you want to." Wang Tian smiled as he walked even closer to them. Absorbing the Dark Qi from the headless elder.
"You think we're scared of you!? Men attack him!" That man yelled.
"Yeah! Avenge the Second Young Master and the Elder!" One yelled out.
"How about the servant?" Another asked.
"Ah not for him..."
Wang Tian heard this and he couldn't help but to not know whether to laugh or cry. Have they not learned their lesson? Not 'to mention I've already killed two of them, do they really think that they can take me on with just a few more people? Heck even if there were quadruple their number, I could easily swat them like a fly. Are they that stupid?'
The three attacked simultaneously. Wang Tian activated the stone technique and the skin on his left arm became akin to bronze. He skillfully evaded a kick and then punched towards an enemy with his left arm.
That man coughed up a mouthful of blood and flew a few meters back. Hitting the wall leaving cracks. Another expert saw this and got angered. He took out a sword and then sent it slashing to Wang Tian.
Wang Tian instictively blocked it with his right arm. One must know that Wang Tian's right arm was riddled with scales and he was also handicapped because his left eye was still covered with an eye patch. His left side was blind but he could sense things more accurately. Making up for the loss of perception on his left side.
Wang Tian flicked his hand and in an instant, a dagger appeared in his left hand. He stabbed towards the man. The man was quite skilled as he evaded Wang Tian's stab and then created some distance between the both of them. When the man retreated, another advanced. Wanting to take advantage of the situation and kill Wang Tian with a blow to the back.
Wang Tian wasn't omnipotent thus he couldn't dodge the blow. However, the man was only a Zifu realm expert who had two crystals. Even someone as powerful as Shu Mingzhu can't hurt him. How powerful could someone as weak as this man be?
His punch reached Wang Tian's back. His eyes flashed with happiness for a moment. He knew that if his punch connected, there was no way in hell that this young man could survive his punch. The way he looked at it, the punk was only at the mid stages of Houtian. A level five or level six maybe? He snickered and then thought to himself, 'Hmp! You were too arrogant before! Now you know that we're not someone that you can just offend nor kill! Let's see who'll have the last laugh when your insides are visible to your eyes!'
However he soon found out that he was deadly wrong. The youth was still standing.
"Eh?" The man uttered.
The eyes of the other four constricted.
"Impossible!"
"How is he still alive!"
"What?!"
"Is he a monster?!"
"Mogui!"
They all uttered cries of shock as they watched Wang Tian stand there like he wasn't punched.
"Eh? Did something hit me?" Wang Tian said as he turned around. The figure of an old man who's arm was extended towards him quickly entered his line of sight.
"What kind of absurd defense is this?!" That man cries out as he hurriedly retracted his arm. However, how could Wang Tian let him off when he had delivered himself right to him? It was like letting a rabbit go when it entered the bear's cave.
Wang Tian grabbed the man's arm and then casted the decay spell only on the man's arm. Then he let go of the man's arm. The man instantly retreated. However he soon felt a very vivid feeling of burning on his arm.
"Ahh!" He grimaced in pain.
Heavens!
What have I seen?!
The skin on the man's right arm was falling and becoming dust!

The story takes place on the world known as Edge, a place of fantasy and wonder.

However, his life changes drastically when he is chosen for one of the "Scouting" lotteries, in which the capital city forces some of the soulless to scout potential danger zones for monsters or enemy units.

Eleanor meant the world to Titus. So when an opportunity to bring her murderer to justice appears, Titus jumps on the chance. His quest, however, would mean traversing the dangerous world of Nivandor, a land infested with monsters, night hunters, and corrupt kings–nothing he and his lord, Lady Priscilla, couldn't handle. Their plans change, however, when both of them are dragged into a nightmare realm, a dimension filled with strange and powerful terrors unlike any they've ever faced. Titus's skill as a kinetic mage is put to the ultimate test as he must work with his lord to fight off the increasingly dangerous monsters that hunt them as they hunt down the three remaining Seraph lords sustaining the Nightmare. For only when the final Seraph lord is slain will the Nightmare truly end. --- Happy Holidays! I tried to get a chapter out this month, but there was just too much stuff to do and I got sick. There will also be more stuff to do come the month of December to the point that I don't think I will have a chance to finish the current story arc on a strong note. So, as of today, I will be going on hiatus until the holidays are over. I will hopefully return with the last few chapters of book 2 as well as the DLC chapters to help clarify Titus and Priscilla's powers as well as a look into their lives before the story gets crazy (maybe 6-7 chapters). These chapters are planned to take place in the day between Chapter 1.4 & Chapter 1.5, detailing the day they had before going to Nivandor. How the DLC chapters will be titled is to be decided. The DLC chapters will be posted here free as usual. Really excited to get a break so I can catch up on chapters. Even more excited to be able to start book 3 once the current story arc is finished. Warmly, Daniel --- Disclamer: This story is not a finished product and will be undergoing changes, sometimes significant changes, as the story develops. Think of it as an early access story where nothing is fully set in stone. If I change a part of the story that you really love, I'm sorry, but changing one part of the story will affect the other parts I try to avoid major changes, especially in older chapters, but for the newer ones there will probably be more fine tuning. As for anyone invested in the story who is not happy with the way the story is going, feel free to DM me so I can get feedback. I want to know how you guys feel about the story, what changes I can make, at what point in the story I may have lost you. But until I get specific feedback, I won't know what changes might need to be made. There are about 14 chapters left for Part 2 of Chimera, give or take. I don't have a time frame for when they will be up but know I am chipping away at the chapters as I can. Warm Regards, Daniel --- Cover art credit goes to Brosedesignz, who has an awesome selection of both premade and custom book covers at great prices on her website. She can also be found at thebookcoverdesigner.com, which is where I found my cover.
