Chapter 283 Courting Death
Clearly, this man named Steel Mark had frequently caused trouble for the Walker family.
"Steel Mark, don't go too far!" Walker Sin couldn't suppress his anger, shouting as his graying beard bristled in fury.
The Stun family was powerful, and the Walker family couldn't afford to provoke them for the time being. But the Steel Family, with only a sixth level spirit Imperial master, also wanted to trample them? This made Walker Sin feel immensely insulted.
"Old Walker, you're really getting old," Steel Mark sneered, shaking his head before suddenly stomping his foot. A powerful spiritual force surged toward Walker Sin, causing him to stagger backward.
Steadying himself, Walker Sin's face was filled with astonishment. Steel Mark's strength had already reached the seventh level Imperial grade, matching Walker Kimi!
"Wow!"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The sudden display of Steel Mark's power immediately caused an uproar, stirring unrest among many. A seventh level spirit Imperial master had the qualification to hold sway in Blood Stone Pass. The skies over Blood Stone Pass were changing!
Steel Mark's lips curled slightly, clearly pleased with everyone's reaction. His gaze then turned icy cold, sending chills down Walker Sin's spine as if he had fallen into an icy abyss.
Steel Mark intended to kill him to establish his dominance!
"Steel Mark, my father is also a seventh level spirit Imperial master. If you make a move, the Steel Family won't have it easy either!" Walker Adam, who still had some feelings for Walker Sin, quickly stepped in front of him to block the attack.
"Heh, just a useless drunkard. After dealing with a few of you, I'll kill him easily too," Steel Mark chuckled. Then, with a flash of cold light in his eyes, he threw a powerful punch at the terrified Walker Adam.
With a slight sigh, Blaze Regret extended his hand, his alabaster like fingers gently clasping Steel Mark's wrist.
"My friend, you've gone too far."
Steel Mark was slightly taken aback when Blaze Regret grabbed his wrist. He shook his arm vigorously, but Blaze Regret stood there calmly, holding Steel Mark's hand without budging an inch.
"What incredible strength!"
The onlookers were secretly amazed. Steel Mark was a seventh level spirit Imperial master, yet in front of this young man, he couldn't even put up a struggle.
"Let go," Steel Mark said coldly, steadying himself. What use was strength? In a fight, it's not the spirit master who steps in personally. As long as he released his spirit beast, he could tear Blaze Regret to pieces instantly.
"I can let go, but let's put an end to today's matter," Blaze Regret replied calmly. The cold wind lifted his black robe, and his sharply handsome face made many young girls' hearts skip a beat.
Watching Blaze Regret's retreating figure, Walker Sin's face flushed with regret. If he had known earlier, he would've been a bit more courteous from the start, avoiding such a tense situation.
Fortunately, this young man had a good relationship with Blaze Regret. Otherwise, he would have been in real trouble today.
"Should've stepped up sooner."
Unlike Walker Sin, Walker Nani snorted, as if Blaze Regret's intervention was only natural.
"Shut up!" Walker Sin snapped at Walker Nani, his fierce look making her shiver and tense up like a steel wire, not daring to make any more noise.
Turning back, Walker Sin was silently furious. If Walker Nani weren't his granddaughter, he would've slapped her by now. At her age, she should have better judgment.
"Why should I?" Steel Mark smirked mockingly.
"He's my friend," Blaze Regret said, glancing at Walker Adam.
"Haha, what a stupid reason!"
Steel Mark laughed so hard he doubled over, and the members of the Steel Family burst into laughter as well. This kid thought he was the young master of the Blood Seal Gate, daring to speak to Steel Mark like that.
"May I ask which faction you belong to?" Steel Mark looked at Blaze Regret with a mocking smile.
"An independent cultivator," Blaze Regret replied calmly.
"An independent cultivator."
Steel Mark repeated the words, scoffing, "So, you're a stray nobody knows about. Your mother must have died early, never teaching you to mind your own business."
As Steel Mark's words echoed, the Steel Family members laughed in agreement, while the surrounding crowd looked at each other in silence, not daring to make a sound.
Only Walker Adam, standing beside Blaze Regret, trembled slightly. He could feel a chilling killing intent emanating from Blaze Regret, growing stronger by the moment.
Blaze Regret's lowered eyes were bloodshot, and his previously gentle face twisted slightly. In his heart, his long deceased mother was a taboo subject. Whenever someone mentioned it, the once mild mannered youth would immediately show his fangs.
In Velorian City, even Snow Amar dared not provoke Blaze Regret with this subject, because when they were younger, a careless remark almost got him beaten to death by Blaze Regret, leaving him bedridden for months.
"Oh, are you angry? So, you really are a motherless stray?" Steel Mark raised an eyebrow, a smug smile on his face, as if hurting Blaze Regret was something to be proud of.
"You're courting death!"
The cold voice came out word by word as Blaze Regret suddenly raised his face, the fierce killing intent on it making Steel Mark shiver involuntarily.
"I am courting death, so what can you do about it?" Steel Mark steadied himself, dismissively stating that strength isn't gained by mere threats.
"Brother Steel, teach this kid a lesson, show him the reality!" The Steel Family members behind him laughed and jeered, confident that Steel Mark, a seventh level spirit Imperial master, was the future head of the Steel Family.
"Then go die!"
Blaze Regret's slender fingers clenched into a fist, a silver white glow enveloping it. With a roar, he swung his fist, creating a sonic boom in its wake.
The Rock Crumbling Palm, as the name suggests, strengthens the entire hand. This punch was as forceful as a steel hammer blow.
"Courting death!"
