Hearing that, Zhu Ningyu was stunned.
Did this Hong Dali hold any trump cards? He was just an ordinary person and a prodigal. What other tricks did he have up his sleeve?
“Alright, since you’re done showing off, it should be my turn now.” Hong Dali smiled. His bright expression made Zhu Ningyu frown. Did Hong Dali really have a trump card?
“Honestly speaking, I actually hate playing this kind of boring game with you.” Hong Dali sniffed and rotated his shoulders. “But I hate looking at your faces and it makes me uncomfortable. So, although I’m unwilling to, you are practically climbing all over our heads. So, I have no choice but to do this.”
At this moment, when they heard what Hong Dali said, Hua Yueling and Hong Xingyu looked at each other. They immediately understood that Hong Dali was getting ready to insult the other party again!
Tang Muxin and the others narrowed their eyes and they smiled meaningfully. They had already sensed that someone was about to get a big slap in the face and they felt good about it.
“You think your talent is very powerful?” Hong Dali snapped his fingers. “Lackeys, this bitch wants to compare talents with us. I think she has got the wrong people for that. Shouldn’t we do something?”
“Yes!” Everyone cheered. Instantly, beautiful bone armor appeared on everyone from Hong Dali’s side. His nine lackeys, his wives, and wives-to-be all started transforming!
“This... this is...” Everyone in the room froze.
These people who were under Hong Dali, their transformation was...
Everyone’s mouths gaped open in shock. The Hong Family members cried out in surprise. “King Knights, they are all King Knights! God, so many King Knights!” “All of them are King Knights. Isn’t this Hong Dali a prodigal? How are all his subordinates King Knights?” “So many King Knights, such strength...”
Zhu Yunzhou and Bei Mingxuan were obviously stunned and stood up in surprise!
So many King Knights...
This was not all. Hong Dali smiled and snapped his fingers. “Hey, lackeys, show them. This is not all you’ve got, right?”
Hong Dali was usually harmless, but when he showed off, he could definitely shock people to death!
“Yes!” Everyone grinned as they entered the second level of their strength display. All of them were ability users!
If ordinary Zergs corresponded to ordinary people, Mutated Zergs corresponded to Planet-levels, and King Zergs corresponded to ability users, then King Knights were on the same level as Stellar-level ability users!
After all, Star Sector-levels were not like Chinese cabbage, they were not so common. Now that Hong Dali had so many King Knights, the amount of power they had would be incomparably horrible!
Everyone’s scalp went numb with fear when they thought about the King Zergs who were with the King Knights.
After being shocked momentarily, Zhu Yunzhou was just about to say something. Unexpectedly, Hong Dali chose this time to speak again.
“Ah, I know you will definitely say this is no big deal.” Hong Dali chuckled and winked mischievously. “But, since I’m showing off, it must be done in waves, one thing after another. Otherwise, wouldn’t you be disappointed?”
Speaking up to this point, he said gruffly, “Star Knight, transform!” In an instant, Hong Dali’s entire body began to shine with a golden light. The golden light was like the sun in the sky. It was so bright no one could look directly at it.
After the golden light flashed, everyone opened their mouths in surprise.
At this time, Hong Dali was covered in glittering bone armor. His appearance was so stupendously impressive, everyone was blinded!
Star Knight transformation!
Actually, this transformation required 60 health points, and Hong Dali’s Health points were only 94. Previously, he had been very reluctant to do so. However, he had no choice this time. Since the two families had shed all pretense of cordiality and even brought up the eternally sore spot in Hong Xingyu’s heart, Hong Dali was really angry this time. When Dali was furious, the consequences were dire!
“Well done!” Hong Xingyu could not help but give a little shout of surprise. He smiled so widely it was akin to a flower in full bloom. “Dali, good boy. I knew our little sweetheart is amazing! Haha!”
“Star Knight!” The faces of Zhu Yunzhou and Bei Mingxuan were all frozen in shock! Obviously, they did not expect that Hong Dali could transform into a Star Knight!
“You actually have such an ability!” Zhu Ningyu’s expression really changed this time.
As a member of the Shenglong Royal Family, she naturally understood what the Star Knight transformation meant!
The Golden Emperor Beetle! The Star Knight transformation was a skill that was obtained only after successfully merging with the Golden Emperor Beetle! After transforming into a Star Knight, all attributes would increase like a volcano eruption. Not only could the physical body enter space, most importantly, the Star Knight was like the brain of the Golden Emperor Beetle. That was not all. The Golden Emperor Beetle’s entire body was full of treasures. The amount of attribute gain that could be obtained from eating one kilogram of its meat...
“Hehe, Star Sector-level?” Hong Dali looked at Zhu Ningyu and said flatly. Then, he laughed disdainfully. “I have long stopped bothering with levels.”
He said looking at Jiang Qianxue behind him and said, “Qianxue, did you bring your sword?”
“Yes.” Jiang Qianxue stepped forward immediately and handed her sword to Hong Dali.
Hong Dali took the sword over and waved it around casually. Then, he pointed the sword at Zhu Yunzhou. “I saw that your protective shield is quite strong. I don’t get exactly how strong it is. Uncle, how about you let me test it by slashing you with the sword?”
It was coming! As soon as she heard Hong Dali’s words, Tang Muxin knew that it was time for the show to begin.
Hong Dali did not bear grudges. He would usually take his revenge on the spot.
Earlier, when Hong Xingyu attacked in a fit of anger, Zhu Yunzhou blocked his attack. Now that Hong Dali had gone ballistic, he was going to take him all the way down!
“What arrogance!” Zhu Yunzhou’s gaze concentrated and a transparent barrier erupted around him. The barrier looked like a crystal, but it could even withstand Hong Xingyu’s wrath. No one would doubt the hardness of the barrier.
“Well, it’s not bad.” Suddenly, the sword Hong Dali was holding shone brightly. At the same time, Hong Dali’s body exploded into golden light, and he swung the sword!
The entire space they were in trembled, a shattering sound was heard and the solid barrier created by Zhu Yunzhou was cut open by Hong Dali!
Swoosh—
Zhu Yunzhou’s crystal diamond-like barrier, the barrier that even Hong Xingyu was unable to break with a furious blow, was cut open by Hong Dali’s sword!
“This... this is... this is the power of the Star Knight?!” Everyone shuddered violently and looked at Hong Dali with obvious envy and jealousy.
The Star Knight transformation was as powerful as described in legends. Most importantly, Hong Dali was still young and still had a long road ahead of him!
The terrifying group of lackeys was all King Knights and ability users! Having fused with the Golden Emperor Beetle and obtaining the Star Knight transformation, the halo enveloping Hong Dali seemed to tear the sky asunder.
The power that Zhu Ningyu had as a Star Sector-level seemed so inconspicuous in front of Hong Dali.
“Good! Good!” Hong Xingyu couldn’t help but shout. All the melancholy that he felt from being oppressed by both families at the same time was relieved.
This was fantastic! Fantastic! Today, the heads of the Bei and Zhu families joined hands and came together. Ordinary people would probably not be able to withstand such oppression. They would probably not be able to even say a word. If they could remain standing, it was already an accomplishment.
Unexpectedly, Hong Dali single-handedly suppressed both of them. So much so that they could not even lift their heads!
“Who says that my Dali is not good enough for Zhu Ningyu, haha. What a joke!” Hua Yueling laughed. She looked at Zhu Ningyu with eyes that were full of ridicule. “You are indeed a genius to be able to become a First Order Star Sector-level. However, compared with my little sweetheart, you’re still not good enough!”
Zhu Ningyu bit down hard on her lower lip. She looked at Hong Dali with eyes that were filled with a myriad of expressions, seemingly unable to believe what she was seeing.
Hong Dali was just a prodigal. How was this possible?!
However, it was obvious. It was mentioned that Hong Dali either did not put people down or if he did, he would go all out to bring them to their knees.
“Hehe, if you think this is all, I’m sorry to tell you that you underestimated me.” Hong Dali looked at Zhu Yunzhou and casually swept his eyes over Bei Mingxuan. “The wealth of the royal family is indeed immense, especially the most royal among the royal family. Both your families are able to stand side by side with our Hong Family, it’s worth some admiration. Unfortunately, in my eyes, the amount of wealth you have... hehe...”
He smiled mysteriously, then called out loudly, “Xiaoyi, show them what real wealth is! Let them witness the beauty of the Tower of Life!”
Tower of Life!
At this time, Hong Dali finally showed them his most valuable possession.
The Tower of Life. Something that even Hong Xingyu and Hua Yueling had been stunned to see. It was absolutely priceless! Were your Bei and Zhu Families rich? Could your money buy the Tower of Life? Hehe, just the Stone of Life was enough to make you jealous, not to mention the Tower of Life?!
“Yes, Young Master.” Soon, Ling Xiaoyi stepped forward and played the holographic projection video of the Tower of Life on New Earth.
Everyone had already quieted down. Now their eyes were all wide open in shock and they had gone completely wild!
They stared fixated at the Tower of Life shown in the image. The green light of life emanating from the tower was so dazzling and so bright. It was like a treasure in the universe, stunning and irresistible. Everyone wished they could be right in front of it so they could kiss it!
“This... this is...” Everyone was stunned. Bei Mingxuan and Zhu Yunzhou were completely dazed.
The Hong Family’s Stone of Life alone was enough to make them both infinitely envious. Now, having seen this...
Hong Dali was right. The Tower of Life was indeed a priceless treasure. No matter how rich you were, you could not buy it! It belonged to Hong Dali, to the Hong Family!
Based on the relationship between the three families at that time, so what if your Bei family and Zhu Family were rich? What could you do? In this lifetime, you could forget about even laying a finger on the Tower of Life!
This felt so good! So good they could fly! Hong Dali’s performance today made everyone feel good from the tip of their toes to the top of their heads!
Zhu Ningyu? Calling off the marriage arrangement? Haha, were you even worthy of Hong Dali in the first place? You even came here to show off?
Hong Dali’s expression was extremely calm. His gaze fell on Zhu Ningyu, and the corner of his mouth turned up in a sneer. “You took the initiative to come here and even arrogantly wanted to publicly denounce us? Now I want you to tell me, who is the one who has been disgraced? Who is the unreasonable one?”
Everyone’s hearts were beating like cymbals. After the fierce heartbeats, it became completely numb.
Hong Dali’s words rang like a slap to the face in the ears of the Bei and Zhu families. It was so shocking, so jarringly loud.
Even though the two families joined forces, they were still completely defeated by Hong Dali. There was no doubt about that.
“Call off the marriage arrangement?” Hong Dali’s eyes were full of disdain. He patted the non-existent dust on his leg with his hands, then chuckled and said, “In fact, one of the things you said previously is absolutely correct.
“The gap between you and me is so high, millions of light-years apart. Although your talent is not too bad, in my eyes, that’s about it.” This time it was Hong Dali’s turn to stare into Zhu Ningyu’s eyes. He said condescendingly, “You were right. My life has just begun. Your life is nothing compared to mine. We are fated to be two parallel lines, our paths will never cross. Hence, no matter what you do or say today, nothing can cover up the great differences between us.”
His words were exactly the same as what Zhu Ningyu had said to him.
The reversal in positions between the two was dramatic. Before, Zhu Ningyu’s was high and mighty. Now, her face was pale. She bit down hard on her lip and trembled.
It corresponded to the lyrics of a song on Earth called “The Sea”. “I want to say something, but I do not know where to start. So, I can only keep it in my heart.”
“Beautifully said!” The more Hua Yueling looked at Hong Dali, the more she liked him. “This bunch of odds and ends want to bully people from our Hong Family? Hahaha, what a joke! Little sweetheart, I have not doted on you in vain!”
“Great-Grandmother, it’s just so-so.” Hong Dali chuckled. “It’s not that I’m too strong, they are just too stupid.”
As he spoke, he turned around and looked at Zhu Yunzhou. “Now, I want to hear you tell me in your own words. Who is the one calling off the marriage arrangement? Who is the one who got disgraced? I think, with the Zhu Family social standing, you will not lie without blinking an eye, right?”
Another blow!
