Long Live Summons Chapter 825 – The Worst Fellow

Chapter 825: The Worst Fellow

King Tai Lun was destined to be beheaded at the Divine Punishment Platform ten days later, when the sun would be in the middle of the sky at noon.

Yue Yang learned of the news halfway on his journey towards the continent..

In the Central Palace, prisoners with the most serious crimes would usually be executed at noon.

Because there was a rumor in the Heaven Realm: the souls of those executed at noon could wash their crimes more thoroughly under the fiercely blazing sunlight, which was the best way of atonement.

On the contrary, the Tong Tian Tower had a completely different interpretation regarding that rumour.

The predecessors of the Tong Tian Tower believed that being beheaded at noon was a very cruel form of punishment. This was because the intense sunlight would double the damage to the fragile souls that have just left the body. The souls of ordinary people could easily dissipate and be annihilated when encountering sunlight. Even for the strong, once they are killed, their newly detached souls being exposed to the violent sunlight would cause them harm…The predecessors of the Tong Tian Tower believed that killing at noon was a vicious way of being punished and it shouldn't be taken lightly unless the offender really deserved it.

After 30 minutes of flying through the skies, the airship of the Raging Flame Bandit Group finally saw their destination.

They arrived at the City of Redemption.

The City of Redemption was located at the bottom of the Soul Recalling Ridge. On the ridge, it was the 'Divine Punishment Platform' where King Tai Lun would be executed this time.

In addition to the Raging Flame Bandits, there are at least a dozen other various airships or shuttles outside the city where they remained suspended, waiting for their turn to be dispatched.

“How about we go for a walk!” Luo Hua City Mistress was a little bored and she stretched her seductive waist: “These past few days, we either stayed in the city or remained bored in the airship; it's too monotonous. Maybe there might be unique flowers and weeds from the Heaven Realm in the City of Redemption. Come on, let's go down and have a look!”

“Your wish is my command, my City Lord.” Classmate Yue Yang was already being dragged by her, so there was no possibility of rejecting her. Besides, staying in the airship every day was really getting a bit depressing.

“If the Clown Mercenary Group finds out…” Raging Flame was most worried about this problem.

“He won't do anything, at least not here.” Yue Yang wasn't so worried about the Clown now. Unless the supporter behind the Clown was the Central Palace, he wouldn't be able to turn the tides with his strength alone. The scary thing about the Clown was that he knew all sorts of secrets in the Tong Tian Tower and was extremely cunning. In case anyone in the Tong Tian Tower comes in contact with him, things would get a bit tricky.

“Hey, wasn't it okay to kill casually? Anyway, this is the Heaven Realm. Everything depends on strength here, so we don't need to be concerned about the Clown. Instead, worrying about the Lionheart King would make more sense.” The City Mistress Luo Hua was now stronger and she had a desire to test her new abilities, eager to challenge the stronger Rankers in the Heaven Realm to see where she currently stood.

“Let's go!” Lie Yan no longer insisted. Since Yue Yang was here, she would listen to him. Even if Yue Yang was not present, she would also listen to Luo Hua.

She used to think she was pretty smart and could decide everything by herself.

But after she got along with Xue Wu Xia, Princess Qian Qian and the others, she realised that she should just go with the others' decisions…

After walking for a few hours, City Mistress Luo Hua had obtained a few pots of wonderful flowers from the Heaven Realm. She was so happy and her steps became lively as well.

Yue Yang and Lie Yan, who had been reduced to working hard pitifully, held two potted flowers each and followed behind her… Only now did Yue Yang discover why the Young Master was always followed by servants to run his errands. It turned out that it was really a disadvantage when there was no one to serve you.

Fortunately, a message was released in the Mercenary Guild, and Yan Zao who had arrived in the City of Redemption rushed over.

Seeing Yue Yang holding the flowers, he quickly stepped forward to help him: “I'll take it, I'll take it.”

Yue Yang asked for news about Bi Lu, and when he heard that Yan Zao hadn't found her, he hurriedly sent him to continue searching, the messy pile of information he collected temporarily suppressed. Matters always had to be sorted in order of importance after all. Yan Zao handed back the flowerpot again, rushing towards the Mercenary Guild with a whiff of smoke as Yue Yang estimated that Bi Lu would send someone there to wait. Yue Yang and City Mistress Luo Hua strolled for another half an hour. A riot seemed to be happening in front. They couldn't help but feel slightly curious.

Jumping into the air, he looked down at the crowd in front.

Ahead of him, the fellow Black Skeleton Group Leader Lei Qie was also there, the only 'acquaintance' that Yue Yang recognized.

However, it was not him who was involved in the conflict, but the friend of the skeleton man. That vampire-like fellow also had a pretty good strength, as he was at the Level 3 of the Heaven Rank. He wore a blood-red robe with a special emblem embroidered on it, seeming to come from a big family or a big sect.

The person who was opposing the vampire, was a tauren [1].

TL note: [1] a term in the fantasy world to describe a human with the body of a man and the head of a bull, usually with horns as well. Often can be called a 'Minotaur', according to Greek mythology.

With a strength that was similar to that of the vampire.

**His muscles puffed and decorated his upper body, whereas his chest and back were painted with scary tattoos. His nose, ears and lips were pierced with gold rings and nails of different sizes, which made him look terrifying. With such an ugly appearance, if he was placed in the Soaring Dragon Continent, no matter how strong he was, the beauties of the continent probably wouldn't admire him. That was because the bull's head was very unattractive, to the point where it could stop children from crying! Even classmate Yue Yang, who was used to seeing the world, was startled when he saw him. He sighed secretly: to have the courage of living like this, his heart was very strong indeed!

The part that made Yue Yang most confused was that beside the tauren stood a fascinating beauty, uncertain if she was from a snake clan or some other race. Her skin had faint traces of scales and was especially slippery. Looking at the opening between her red lips, as if she was hunting , there lingered a particularly cold and weird feeling.

This fascinating snake girl not only used her slender arms to hold the tauren's stout ones, her long snake tail also curled around the tauren's thighs with a bit of a seductive vibe.

Yue Yang noticed one thing.

The tip of this coquettish snake girl's tail resembled the tail of a bee.

“You motherfucker[2], immediately apologise to my girl, otherwise this motherfucker will definitely kill you!” The tauren cursed at the vampire in a dialect.

TL note: [2] The original word is pronounced as 'Lima' in the Wuhan dialect, but it doesn't make sense in English, so I used the closest word to replace it. It literally means “Your mother” but when used, it's more accurate to perceive it as referring to someone in a downright insulting manner.

P.S Later on 'Lima' can also be used as the tauren's alias, as he probably used that word way too many times, so people just refer to him as that.

“It seems that this guy is a wandering bandit from the Southern Heaven Realm, 'Lima'. I've heard of this name. He is a cruel guy, but I didn't know he was a tauren.” Lie Yan explained to Yue Yang. Besides the bandit group , there were many other robbers. There are those who didn't want to manage a large group of people and preferred to do things alone would usually sneak attacks on small vendors for profit. They are known as 'Wandering Bandits'. Of course, most of them were self-proclaimed 'Wanderers', and only a handful of vicious guys who were truly evil with notoriety will claim to be Wandering Bandits, such as the tauren 'Lima'.

“Hahaha, and here I thought it was someone important, yet it just turned out to be 'Lima', the brainless bug.” The vampire laughed loudly.

“I am not 'Lima', I am the famous Wandering Bandit Hei Yan.” 'Lima' was just a nickname given to the tauren from the outside world, because there were so many people he addressed as 'Lima', yet no one knew his real name.

“Let's duel, we'll bet your girl!” The vampire stretched out his pale hand and put it under the tip of his nose, sniffing it lightly: “When I touched it just now, I found that it felt pretty good. There was also a tinge of pungency, it seems that her skills in bed must be very good… 'Lima', I want your girl. If you don't want me to make you find your teeth on the floor, just get out of here. Don't bother having such beauty to yourself if you don't have the ability to.”

“You're asking for death! I'll fucking beat you up!” The tauren was furious. Waving his palms like an axe, it caused a strong shock wave to form and he slammed the force at the vampire.

“Small tricks of a bug.” The vampire dodged easily, sneering amusedly.

Yue Yang was bored. This kind of battle of comparably equal strength, he predicted that there will be no sign of victory or defeat for a few days and nights. The tauren was slightly stronger, whereas the vampire was a bit faster; it would be really difficult to determine who is stronger among the two.

Especially in this City of Redemption, if one dared not use destructive attacks and make small moves only, it was even more improbable to tell who would be the victor at once.

City Mistress Luo Hua didn't think the match was worth watching either and it was probably better to continue looking for the unique flowers and weeds in the Heaven Realm so she turned to leave with Yue Yang. Lie Yan wanted to watch the decisive battle, but when Yue Yang was leaving, she immediately followed. After walking around the flower market for half an hour in the neighboring street, Yue Yang and Lie Yan had a few more pots to add to the collection. Even City Mistress Luo Hua helped them hold one pot when she saw their hard work.

The three then strolled back happily.

Suddenly, there was a loud boom.

A shadow flew over from a distance like a shooting star.

It was the tauren who fell heavily in front of Yue Yang and Luo Hua. In the sky, Lei Che and the glamorous snake girl have already fought each other. The vampire with a blinded eye fell angrily from the sky, pointing at the tauren grimly: “You dared to sneak an attack on my eye? 'Lima', you have really succeeded in angering me. Today will be the day of your death!”

“You can barely protect yourself, yet you still want to talk that much?” The tauren stood up, vomiting blood and sneered again.

“What?” The vampire was stunned.

“From your out-of-control heavy attack just now, the shock wave's afterglow had hit someone, you know? The redeemed concubine of the City Lord, she was standing upstairs at the time, watching us fight… Do you know why I had to endure your attacks and blinded your eyes? I know that you have a way to recover and I have also heard of your name as a blood-sucking evil demon… The reason I did so was because when you got angry and lost control, you would accidentally injure people who shouldn't be harmed. Do you know why I stood in that direction? It was to deliberately trick you! Among so many onlookers, only the concubine of the Redemption City Lord was not of Heaven Ranked and only she can be hurt by mistake. Haha, you motherfucker will be wanted by the City Lord now, are you sure you still want to fight with me? Besides, this fellow's strength is not inferior to you at all. If I wasn't trying to purposely fool you, what made you think that I would take a heavy blow from you and fly a kilometer away?” The tauren said, making the people around him listen with cold sweat trailing down their backs.

Whoever says that this bull has no brains would be the real idiot.

On the surface, the vampire looked to be full of bad intentions, but who knew that the real cunning one was instead the tauren who looked like he was mentally challenged?

When Lei Qie and the vampire heard it, they fled the scene quickly. Hurting the concubine of the City Lord, the matter could be both big or small. They flew away, deciding to flee as far as possible before any incidents occurred, and did not dare to stay for another second.

A few words scared Lei Qie and the vampire away.

Lie Yan was speechless.

No wonder the tauren Lima, a lone Wandering Bandit, could be in the Southern Heaven Realm. Everyone who saw him was deceived by his appearance.

The tauren looks like a fool, a very stupid one. Who would have thought that his mind was more cunning than anyone else's.

Yue Yang, Luo Hua and Lie Yan saw the fight had ceased, they were about to leave.

Who knew, the tauren stretched out his hand and stopped them: “Head of Flames, if I remember correctly, you are the wanted Raging Flame Bandit Leader? I wasn't looking carefully during the quarrel just now, and you left in such a hurry, I almost thought I would never meet you again. Fortunately, you still had the leisure to go shopping, otherwise, I couldn't have found out that you were still here…Although it hurt to get a punch from that guy in vain, I can take this opportunity to catch up with the largely wanted Head of the Flames. This business exchange was not that bad of a loss either!”

Lie Yan's expression was dark and angry: “Only with your abilities, you want to restrain me?”

The tauren shook his head and waved his hand, the bull's eyes full of cunning looks: “Of course not. Before I came, I asked my companion to report to the City Lord. If one kills a concubine, the City Lord may not care because he has more than a hundred of them. But if one can catch you, who made the Central Palace declare you a wanted criminal, it would be a great contribution from me to offer you as a gift to Lord Heavenly Ghost and the warden of Tantai before executing the prisoners! I think the City Lord will definitely be moved!”

Yue Yang couldn't help but stretched out a thumb to the tauren and praised him: “Not bad. Among all the taurens I have ever seen, you are indeed the smartest! And also the worst!”
