Chapter 769: Horrifying “Disguise” Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Everybody was shocked to see the three strangers, as if they were looking up to superior entities. “Are—Are they Star State warriors?” Some of the customers in the queue were at the Fate State. They also felt cold and were trembling. They were too shocked to say anything. Anyone with a Star State cultivation could possibly rule a planet! And yet, three of them had made an appearance? The fact that they were flying in Woffett City already suggested that something unusual was taking place. They could be from the Ryan family. Every descendant of the Ryans had permission to fly in the cities of Rhea. Alternatively, they had special identities from other forces, or boasted the power of the Star State! They didn’t bother to conceal their auras, unstoppable as giant eagles blotting out the sky. Everybody on the street felt an enormous pressure and almost fell to their knees! “S-Star State...” Some Ocean State passersby were already pale and shaking, about to kneel due to the pressure. They felt such an intense threat of death, as if they were facing Star State beasts. It seemed that the space around them had thickened and went beyond their control. It could suffocate them at any time! “They’re grandpa’s friends!” “It’s them! Why are they here?” While in the crowd, Cleo and the purple-haired young man were shocked to realize the three strangers were guests of the Ryan family. They were also friends with the O’Neils. Why have they gathered here? Did the ten Class A dragons sold here catch their attention? Did they find out that there was a master trainer or maybe a grandmaster trainer backing the shop? Cleo thought quickly with flashing eyes. Whoosh! Very soon, the three men stopped above Su Ping’s shop. Everybody on the street looked at them in awe; the previously prosperous street became dead silent. “This is the store, right?” “That’s right.” “This many people are waiting in line? Seems like the business here is quite good.” “Something’s wrong with this store. My senses cannot peer inside.” The three men floated above the shop and looked down at the shop indifferently. They were actually surprised to find that their senses had been unable to penetrate the shop’s defenses. “Let’s do it. Make him come out,” said a red-haired young man. His hair was fluttering in the wind, and the bulging veins on his temples made him look aggressive; they looked like tattoos. He raised his hand as he talked, then he unleashed scorching flames. The space in contact with the flames began to twist and crack. As a result, the edge of the flames was almost black. Bang! He directed the fire to smash the shop, leaving a black trace behind. At the same time, a white-robed old man raised his hands as if he were about to sweep them through water; the customers outside of Su Ping’s shop were pushed away by an invisible force. The space between them and the shop was lengthened; even though they didn’t move and the street didn’t change, Su Ping’s shop became isolated once the surrounding space was lengthened. “The Star State experts are going to attack this shop?” “What is going on?” “Did this shop do anything to piss off these three Star State experts?” All the people present were astounded by the scene. They were shocked by the Star State experts’ methods, nor did they expect that they would attack Su Ping’s shop. The next moment, the previous flames—which contained the horrifying power of laws—reached the top of Su Ping’s shop under everybody’s shocked eyes. All of them thought that the shop would be destroyed after a deafening surprise, but reality presented the opposite result. The flames died out without a sound, as if they would have been doused with freezing water; they didn’t even cause a sizzle. “What’s happening?” “Were they blocked by the shop’s defenses?” “I almost wet my pants. That attack definitely involved the power of laws. How can any defense block that?” All the people on the street were dumbfounded. How rich must the shop owner be, to equip the place with defenses that could resist Star State powers? The Ryans’ HQ was probably the only place that had such luxuries. Su Ping’s shop—which everybody thought would turn into ash—remained unscathed. It was quite shocking. Still mingling in the crowd, Cleo was quite stunned. On the other hand, the brawny man, the purple-haired young man and the others who were yelling on the street were quite astounded by such development. They didn’t expect that the shop would be able to resist a Star State attack. It was obvious that the shop was supported by a powerhouse! “No wonder he was so arrogant...” The brawny man ducked his head and felt lucky that nobody had opened the door when he yelled just then. He probably would have been taught another lesson if a bigshot were to show up. In the air— “Huh?” The red-haired young man was surprised to see his attack nullified. He sensed that his attack didn’t hit a thing. It was almost like touching cotton, and then it was absorbed without causing a blast! His partners were also surprised. They didn’t see it coming either, for an attack infused with the power of laws to be ineffective. It had to be noted that they could turn the entire city upside down if they wanted to! Star State experts could sweep across a planet; given enough time, they could destroy it! “Set up a barrier and let me have another try,” said the red-haired young man with a low voice and piercing eyes. The old man and another black-haired woman nodded. They quickly raised a barrier, separating the shop from the street. Once the barrier was set, the red-haired young man took action again. His body glowed with a red tint, making him look like a brilliant sun. Violent energy was gathered on his hands which were burning like magma. He then smashed down, unleashing an aura that swallowed the shop. The daunting attack caused the entire street to quake. However, the aura thawed like snow the moment it touched the shop’s roof. There was no sound; it simply disappeared like the previous attack. “I can’t believe it!” Both the white-robed old man and the black-haired woman were surprised by such an outcome. This shop remains untouched even after all the secret techniques and laws we’ve already used? The red-haired young man narrowed his eyes in shock. He became gloomy as he looked at the shop, which continued to stand quietly. After taking a pause to ponder, he said, “Let’s attack together. I don’t believe that the defenses of this shop can compare to the O’Neils’ astral diamond defenses.” Both the white-robed old man and the black-haired woman nodded and gathered their strength. Soon after, their attacks were launched to consume the entire shop. The leaked power from those attacks made everybody on the street tremble. Some battle pet warriors who hadn’t reached the Ocean State had even fallen on their knees. Bang! Bang! Bang! The three attacks shattered space and struck the shop, only to disappear again. A solemn looking trio attacked again. Brilliant attacks, secret techniques, and auras that contained laws were unleashed. The red-haired young man had already drawn out his weapon, which was a red long spear. He condensed the shadow of a roaring tiger on his spear and launched it. The spear was deadly enough to pierce an ordinary Star State beast! However, the shocking attack disappeared again after hitting the roof. No matter how much power they exerted, the shop remained unmoving, like a reef by the sea. Bang! Bang! Bang! The primary space was torn apart; the shop then stood in the dark secondary space and showed no reaction to the bombardments. After the attacks disappeared and space was healed, everybody found that the roof of the shop remained undamaged! What level could such a defense be? The whole street was silent. Everybody was wide-eyed, too stupefied to talk. The three people in the sky breathed heavily. They were surprised and wary; that defense had turned out to be even more horrifying than the astral diamond defenses used in the Ryan family’s HQ, which would have been unable to resist their attacks with such ease, and would have collapsed if they had kept attacking! However, there were no ripples at all on the shop’s defenses. It seemed that they hadn’t even damaged them, at all. “The man in the shop was bold enough to come back after killing the sixth prince. Was he relying on us being unable to destroy this shop’s defenses?” “This can’t be a top black star shield, can it? If so, not even O’Neil would have been able to break it if he were here.” The three of them looked at each other in bewilderment; that was completely out of their expectations. They had tried their hardest for a long time and had almost ended up breathing heavily, yet they couldn’t even break in. The power that such horrifying defenses represented made them flinch. Anyone who had such defenses installed had as many resources and connections as the Ryans did. While the Ryan family ruled that planet, it wasn’t the only planet in the universe; who knew whether some foreign adversary would ever decide to set up a branch there? “Should we retreat?” “Yes!” The red-haired young man’s proposal was supported by the white-robed man and the black-haired woman. Exactly at that moment... The shop’s door was suddenly opened. Su Ping walked out of the shop. He had just returned to the shop with a batch of trained pets when he detected several Star State vibes that were on a rampage outside the shop. He was slightly surprised, so he paused the training and opened the door to find out. He saw the Lightning Rat by the door the moment he opened the door. The rat had gotten a lot fatter; it was looking up at the sky, with more curiosity and thoughtfulness than fear. Su Ping was not surprised by the Lightning Rat’s reaction. After all, it had been to the Chaotic Realm of the Undead with him. There were many people who were even more horrifying than Joanna’s original self. It was a top world that could compare to the Archean Divinity! Su Ping raised his head and saw three Star State battle pet warriors in the sky. “Huh? Who are you?” Su Ping was confused. He looked out of the shop, only to find that the customers seemed to be at arm’s reach when they actually stood thousands of meters away; they were considerably separated from each other, but their queue was still obvious. Could it be that the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons he sold had attracted Star State battle pet warriors? Su Ping opened his mouth and said to the strangers, “Are you here to train your pets? Today’s business hours are over. Come again tomorrow.” He then added, “Of course, feel free to get in line in advance. No line cutting is allowed.” “???” The three people in the sky were completely stunned. Queue up? Queue up my ass! So, this guy didn’t know about the attacks they had launched just then? He didn’t know anything? “Is he... at the Ocean State?” “How is it possible? Let me take a look.” The white-robed old man took out a delicate device the size of his hand and aimed it at Su Ping. Su Ping was soon captured by the device. He had Ocean State signals when the data were read and examined! The old man’s eyeballs almost popped out due to shock. They had all seen the video where Su Ping killed Randall, so they recognized him immediately after they met. Su Ping broke the titanium cage with a slash made with his fingers, which indicated the power of the Star State. He also killed multiple Fate State guards! 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦 Yet, you’re telling me that he’s only in the Ocean State? Can anyone in the Ocean State crush those in the Fate State so easily? “What a horrifying disguise...” The white-robed old man gasped with shock and fear. Even a device specifically configured was unable to see through him; so, his disguising technique was truly remarkable. The old man didn’t believe that Su Ping was the only one with the Ocean State paradigm. The other two strangers also wore solemn expressions. “You’re the one who killed Randall, aren’t you? Why don’t you come with us?” said the red-haired young man coldly. Su Ping was stunned. So, they’re not customers? “Who’s Randall? You mean the piece of garbage I killed earlier?” asked Su Ping curiously. The trio immediately became gloomy, and the red-haired young man said, “I don’t know where you’re from, but this is Rhea, Ryan family’s turf. It was inappropriate of you to kill innocent people in the open. Besides, one of your victims was a student of the Hugh Mia Academy!” “So, you’re from the Ryan family...” Su Ping was enlightened and lost interest in him. “If you know I killed him, you must know why I did it. I’ll give you a chance to apologize to me. I’ll spare you if you do.” The trio was stunned while one of them nearly choked.
