The Lord's Empire

Chapter 1655 Halfling Blood Crystal

The Halfling indeed had a treasure that contained powerful Halfling power. It was a blood crystal and contained powerful Halfling King Power, but it was very important to him and could increase his power. As such, he was not willing to give it over to Zhao Fu.

“I don’t have any treasures; you’ve got the wrong person,” the Halfling shook his head as he called out.

Zhao Fu did not believe him, as the Halfling did not look simple and definitely had good treasures on him. As such, he said, “Is that so? In that case, don’t run and let me examine you. If you don’t have any, I’ll let you go.”

However, how could the Halfling agree to this? He could only sit in his boat and continue flying away.

Zhao Fu followed behind the boat, and as the boat became slower and slower, the distance between them closed and Zhao Fu started to try to attack again.

The golden pupil in his left eye quickly spun and chains shot out of the air and shot towards the Halfling incredibly quickly. However, the Halfling controlled the boat to nimbly dodge while continuing to fly forwards.

However, more and more cracks appeared on the boat before it finally exploded into countless pieces that fell to the ground.

The Halfling started to panic; the boat was his biggest trump card and now that it was destroyed, he definitely would not be able to outrun Zhao Fu.

At that moment, chains containing great power once again shot out, and the Halfling took out a scimitar and blocked as he flew away.

Zhao Fu continuously attacked, and the distance between them continuously shrank.

In the end, the Halfling gave up and understood that he would be caught by Zhao Fu sooner or later, so he called out, “I’ll give you a treasure but you have to let me off.”

Hearing this, Zhao Fu directly agreed because he just wanted the Halfling treasure and was not interested in the Halfling at all.

The Halfling tossed out the blood crystal while he shot off in a direction.

Zhao Fu flew towards the blood crystal and grabbed out, causing a formless energy to grasp the blood crystal and pull it to Zhao Fu.

After examining the blood crystal’s power, Zhao Fu gave a satisfied smile.

Seeing that Zhao Fu did not continue to give chase, the Halfling let out a sigh of relief and continued to fly away.

After obtaining the blood crystal, Zhao Fu did not plan on going back for now. After all, he had been giving chase for three days, so he decided to separate from his group for now and then came back to find them later. They would head to the center of the secret realm, so he could just meet up with them there.

Zhao Fu found a secluded place to refine the blood crystal, but he discovered a Giant City. The Giants here were not very big, only around 2.5 meters tall. They were relatively short Giants, as most Giants were about four or five meters tall.

Zhao Fu thought about it and decided to refine the blood crystal later, and see if he could make any gains in this Giant City.

After coming to the Giant City, he found that it was quite lively inside. They seemed to be holding some kind of event, with Giants sitting in front of tables and arm-wrestling. There were people spectating in the surroundings and were calling out excitedly.

Zhao Fu came over, drawing the attention of some Giants. They were quite surprised to see someone as little as Zhao Fu and only having Harmony Realm Cultivation so they did not pay him much mind.

Zhao Fu asked a Giant next to time, “What are you guys doing?”

The Giant happily laughed as he replied, “This is our Giant’s arm-wrestling tournament to choose our City’s Hercules. Not only will the winner receive great rewards, but he might also be able to catch the eye of our City Lord’s daughter!”

Hearing this, Zhao Fu asked, “What are the rewards?”

The Giant pointed at a blood-red orb on a stage and said, “That’s the reward, a Giant Power Crystal. Anyone who refines it will obtain immense Giant power.”

Hearing this, Zhao Fu smiled and asked, “Can I participate? Are there any restrictions on this tournament?”

Hearing Zhao Fu’s words, the Giant could not help but laugh as he said, “There are no restrictions and you can participate. In fact, our City Lord welcomes you examinees, but with your physique and cultivation, you’ll be completely annihilated if you go up.”

Hearing this, Zhao Fu felt at ease. The Giants here were all quite powerful and most of them had Great Earth Cultivation, and some of them had World Realm Cultivation.

Zhao Fu decided not to steal the Giant Power Crystal and instead compete and win it.

After a while, Zhao Fu registered and faced his first opponent. It was a Giant with ordinary looks and Great Earth Realm Cultivation.

The two of them sat down on opposite sides of a table and each stretched out a hand. Because of the difference in body sizes, Zhao Fu’s hand was half the size of the Giant’s hand. As such, the Giant held onto Zhao Fu’s wrist and they soon began.

The Giants all looked down on Zhao Fu because he looked like a bean sprout to them. That tiny arm of his might be broken in one go, and none of them thought that he would succeed.

The ordinary-looking Giant facing off against Zhao Fu felt quite delighted to go against such a weak opponent. As soon as the referee told them to start, he vigorously slammed his hand down.

However, the Giant soon looked quite confused because he could not make Zhao Fu budge at all. Zhao Fu’s arm seemed to be made of steel and Zhao Fu did not mind at all as he lightly moved his hand and sent the Giant’s slamming against the table.

This round was undeniably Zhao Fu’s win. The Giants all looked incredibly shocked; it seemed that this beansprout was not simple and had some power.

On a viewing platform, a beautiful woman with long, black hair and giving off a seductive aura watched on. She had a mature figure and was dressed in leather armor, and she smiled as she looked at Zhao Fu; she was the City Lord.

There were two seats next to her: one seated a handsome middle-aged man, who was the woman’s husband. The other seated a woman with long, black hair; a slim figure; and gave off a pure aura. She was the City Lord’s daughter.

After defeating this Giant, Zhao Fu was given another opponent. Just like before, Zhao Fu swung his arm down and easily pressed the Giant’s hand against the table, winning the match.

The Giants became more and more shocked as they found out that Zhao Fu was actually quite powerful.

After easily winning a few more rounds, Zhao Fu made it to the finals.

All of the Giants were dumbfounded that Zhao Fu would make it to the finals, but they felt quite excited. Such a little and skinny person like Zhao Fu making it to the finals was a miracle, and all of the Giants felt quite interested and curious about him.

“Daughter, what do you think of him?” the beautiful woman smiled as she asked her daughter.
