CHAPTER 977 AMELIA'S REAPPEARANCE
As soon as his words trailed away, the Hong Clan's disciples immediately felt embarrassed. As a result,
a strong and unparalleled killing intent awakened in their hearts. At this moment, they were so angry
that all they wanted to do was to chop Curran and grind him into meat paste.
But of course, they were forbidden to do that. If they could defeat Curran fairly, then the Chu Clan
would not have any justifiable reason to give them some trouble. But if they swarmed forward and beat
Curran together with the majority, then it would only give the Chu Clan their needed reason to retaliate.
If this happened, then Amelia would have no choice but to accept her fate, which was the opposite of
what they had wanted for her.
In fact, Amelia was the hope of the Hong Clan, and they had seen her as a goddess and they all
admired her.
'Damn it! How dare he show up here with his arrogance? If only Ablett and Amanda were here!' all the
disciples of the Hong Clan thought with resentment in their hearts.
'Ablett has broken through and become a demi-spiritual emperor. Even if he were here, I'm afraid that
he would still not be able to fight against that lousy Curran. I guess that's why the damn Curran dared
to come here in the first place, '
one of the disciples of the Hong Clan thought. Despite looking very angry, all of them chose not to open
their mouths. Seeing this, Curran felt nothing but amusement.
Being Carney's cousin, he was also considered as a genius in the Chu Clan. Otherwise, he wouldn't
have been close to the demi-spiritual emperor realm at all. In fact, he had already won most battles
against opponents at the same level.
Meanwhile, if the Hong Clan obediently agreed with their request, then they would not have gone so
far. However, the Hong Clan didn't cooperate with them. Despite this, they could not bully the Hong
Clan out in the open since the Chu Clan was a spiritual-emperor force, after all. They needed to keep
their decency in the public.
One of the reasons why Curran came this time was to subdue the disciples of the Hong Clan. All he
wanted to do was to let the Hong Clan know that they were nothing in front of the powerful Chu Clan.
Although he was close to a demi-spiritual emperor, he was still considered as a completed spiritual
king. So when he came to the Hong Clan, his only intention was to challenge the completed spiritual
kings at peak state. Knowing that he was invincible with his talent of defeating opponents in the same
realm, he believed that he could multitask and defeat several disciples of the Hong Clan
simultaneously.
'You are really over-confident! How dare you refuse the Chu Clan's offer?' Curran thought to himself as
he laughed grimly in silence.
Soon after, he opened his mouth again and sneered, "What's going on here? Don't tell me you're still
afraid to fight me. Oh, come on, I've already given you the permission to fight me five at a time! Or
maybe the reason why you can't is because the Hong Clan doesn't even have five completed spiritual
kings at peak state to fight against me? Tsk. Too bad."
Crack! Crack!
As soon as the disciples of the Hong Clan heard Curran's audacious words, they could not help but
clench their fists in anger, deeply stabbing their fingernails right into their flesh and emitting the sound
of crushing bones.
"What are we waiting for? Let's kill him! Go ahead!" several disciples of the Hong Clan communicated Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
with each other through telepathy as they could not bear such an embarrassment.
"If we kill him, then the entire Hong Clan will be doomed!" some other disciples echoed their thoughts
as they disagreed with the matter.
"So are you trying to say that we have no choice but to watch him assume great airs in front of us? We
can be killed, but we can't stand here and be humiliated!"
"Once you die without regret, you will leave everything behind. But have you ever considered the
welfare of the old, weak, sick, and disabled members of the Hong Clan? I'm afraid that they would have
to become slaves by then."
After voicing their concerns, silence began to fill the air.
"Well, it seems that there's nobody strong enough to challenge me here. Alas, could this be any more
pathetic? I wanted to compete with you, but you don't even have the courage to stand up for
yourselves and fight. I guess we'll call it a day. Let's go!" Curran let out a sigh and ordered his
attendants to follow him.
Now that he had achieved his goal, he didn't need to humiliate the members of the Hong Clan
anymore. All he knew was that he had to have a sense of decency. Otherwise, if he went too far, then
the demi-spiritual emperors of the Hong Clan might stand out to fight him. If that happened, Curran was
sure that he would be defeated. By then, the demi-spiritual emperors of the Chu Clan would also have
to take part in the fight, which would make things too problematic and chaotic.
After all, their purpose had to be too obvious—all they wanted to do was to force the Hong Clan to
submit to them.
If they pressed the Hong Clan too hard, then they might choose to surrender to the Spirit Sect
unconditionally. If that ever happened, the Chu Clan would get nothing in the end.
"Since you want to test how capable the younger generation of the Hong Clan is, then say no more. I
will fight with you!" At this moment, a clear yet angry voice pushed through the dead silence that filled
the air.
When everyone heard this, all their eyes tried to find whom the voice belonged to.
Just then, all their eyes were plastered onto this girl from the Hong Clan who bravely walked gracefully
towards Curran.
Wearing a red robe, the girl appeared to be skinny as her clothes loosely fit her. Although what she was
wearing did not fit her very well, it still displayed her perfect figure. As she walked, she fixed her long,
jet-black hair that fell straight like a quiet waterfall.
On the other hand, her cheeks seemed to be soft, rosy, and well hydrated.
All the disciples who watched her from her side could not help but gush over her perfectly outlined face.
At that moment, no one dared to take their eyes off her for her exceedingly beautiful face caught
everyone's attention.
If Ricky were here, he could surely recognize, based on his memory, this girl as Amelia. He had once
promised her that he would immediately come to her aid whenever she needed one, no matter how
serious and difficult the situation might be.
During that moment, all the disciples of the Hong Clan were delighted and astonished by her presence,
for they all adored and idolized her.
In fact, they did not expect Amelia to be there. For the longest time, Amelia had been in seclusion to
avoid Carney's chase. All they could remember was that she was like a goddess, even if a lot of the
disciples were double her age.
"What? It's Amelia. I heard that you have been in seclusion, and I didn't expect you to come out today.
It seems that the timing could never be more perfect than this," Curran exclaimed as he was also
surprised to see Amelia in the flesh.
He stared at Amelia with obscene eyes. After all, with the beauty that Amelia exuded, no man could
stay unmoved by a woman like her.
But Curran was only kidding himself, for he clearly knew that Amelia already belonged to his cousin,
Carney. As he remembered this, he thought of the consequences of casting his greedy eyes upon her.
At that moment, fear suddenly poured all over his body like cold water.
"Well, since you said that there was nobody strong enough in the Hong Clan, of course I have to stand
out and defend my clan! After all, that's not true," Amelia said indifferently as she directly jumped onto
the battle platform where Curran was standing.
"Oh, really? Dear Amelia, are you sure that you want to fight with me?" Curran asked, grinning, after
hearing what Amelia had said.
"Certainly!" Amelia said blandly. Meanwhile as she stood still, a strong wave of water power rose from
her body, going up to her maximum.
In fact, that was the power of a completed spiritual king at peak state.
"Now, my power, come out!" Amelia exclaimed with firmness after bursting out the power of her
Rainwater Mutant. Soon enough, some of the water power around her was also transformed into
raindrops.
Meanwhile, the water and the raindrops interlaced around Amelia's body, evolving into her strongest
Rainwater Momentum. The Rainwater Momentum should have been a kind of soft power, but because
of Amelia's surging anger, it had developed an obvious killing intent on the surface.
The anger that pushed her was no other than her undeniable hatred towards the Chu Clan.
Due to the Rainwater Mutant, Amelia's power directly increased from a completed spiritual king at peak
state to something that was close to a demi-spiritual emperor. As a result, her power was at par to that
of Curran.
At that moment, all the disciples of the Hong Clan gathered around and looked optimistic as soon as
they felt Amelia's strong power. They looked forward to seeing Amelia defeat and destroy the hateful
Curran.
Seeing the energy that Amelia had summoned, Curran's eyes immediately darkened.
At the sight of this, all he felt was more arrogance, for he knew and believed in his own capabilities and
strength.
"Amelia, if that's what you want, then let me put your Rainwater Mutant to the test," Curran said as he
grinned while his momentum rose rapidly.
