RETURN OF THE EMPEROR

CHAPTER 169: HALF MARTIAL EMPEROR

Husk and Verki were standing in front of the cave where Yerfa was hiding before, around them were piles of corpses of people wearing black clothes like spies.

Verki couldn't help but shake her head "Why are there so many strange people coming here? Are they spies from the Emperor of Technology?".

"It is most likely like that" said Husk who brought the bodies to throw them into the sea "However, the Emperor of Technology still does not know who the perpetrator who killed his 2 hands, moreover, he must also be suspicious of Yerfa, their relationship is not too good. Therefore, the Emperor of Technology must have sent spies here to observe Yerfa's actions".

Verki nodded and did not ask about the matter any more, instead he looked towards the cave "Master Husk, what do you think you are doing there? Master has not shown himself for a day, has something happened to master?".

Husk who finished throwing all the bodies into the sea so as not to leave a trace immediately cleaned his hands "Master is cultivating, however while cultivating then it is a time where one's guard decreases. So everyone must need some alone time to cultivate, even I am like that as well. This master did not because he did not trust us, but it would not hurt to keep watch so as not to give anyone a chance to try to kill".

Verki only slightly nodded, in fact she did not really understand about this kind of thing which made her only able to act as if she understood.

Husk also did not explain more, he again stood at the door of the cave and observed around, as long as there were traces of spies again then he would hunt and kill them.

...----------------...

Currently Myro was sitting in the empty space of the cave and continued to absorb the energy present from his body, all of this energy came from the 9-colored snake pill that he absorbed yesterday.

When Myro continued to absorb all that energy, finally the cultivation core he had was already full of energy, not long after the sound of explosions sounded from Myro's body.

"Booooom!".

Suddenly the entire Myro cultivation core absorbed all of the accumulated energy, then his cultivation core started to become stronger.

After that among all of Myro's cultivation cores, a new cultivation core shone. With the shine of 1 more cultivation core, then there are only 2 more cultivation cores that are still dim.

Along with the cultivation core that re-shone, Myro finally reached Half Martial Emperor, 1 stage below Martial Emperor.

Not stopping there, the energy from the 9 Color Snake Pill was still present in Myro's body so his strength continued to increase.

Half Martial Emperor level 2.

Half Martial Emperor level 3.

Finally the energy that was still in Myro's body was completely exhausted, he slowly opened his eyes to find the zodiac signs that were standing guard around.

The Libra who was behind Myro instantly slightly bent his body "Master, you are now already a Half Martial Emperor, just a step away from Martial Emperor. With this, master was already not far away from returning to become Emperor or even surpassing the past master, which was to become a Martial God".

Myro who was just standing slightly nodded, he took a breath before pulling his right hand back then hitting him with all his might towards the front.

"Booooom!".

However, this place is the main headquarters of Yerfa which makes most of the walls in this room made of special treasures or iron that is not easily destroyed, therefore 1 punch from Half Martial Emperor should not be able to make this cave crack.

However Myro who had just become a Half Martial Emperor could not be equated with the others, however Myro's strength was dozens of times higher than that of a normal Half Martial Emperor which made him almost destroy this cave.

Husk and Verki were also slightly surprised by the explosion, Verki couldn't help but jump "What happened? It looks like the explosion came from a cave! Mr Husk, do we have to storm into the cave? However there was a possibility that the explosion earlier was the one who attacked the master".

Different from the panicked Verki, Husk only slightly smiled before waving his hand "It was not an enemy attack, but the power of the master. As I thought, master is indeed different from other normal people. Whereas the new master had the strength of a Half Martial Emperor, yet he might already be able to be at the same level as a new Martial Emperor, the master is truly extremely admirable! When master reaches a tier 5 Martial Emperor, then I might not be the opponent of his 1 punch anymore".

Myro who was in the cave did not know the talk of Verki and Husk at all, rather he did not care much, however, all of Myro's attention was more focused on the power of his punch earlier.

Myro pulled back his right hand and looked at that fist while smiling "Not bad, although not as strong as I was in the past but it shouldn't be far away anymore".

"Master! The master! Is Taurus also allowed to try his strength?", said Taurus excitedly, he tried to lift the hammer in his hand to hit towards the cave wall, after all since Myro became a Half Martial Emperor, the power of Taurus has increased.

When the Taurus is about to hit the cave, the entire zodiac surrounding it immediately holds Taurus back.

Capricorn even scolded Taurus "Sister Taurus, you don't have to try your strength here, if you do then the entire cave must have collapsed! After all, big brother Taurus is not the master, you simply cannot withstand the power you used".

"That's right!", said Virgo a little speechless "Have you never learned from past events, Taurus? How many places have you destroyed because of your stupid act to test power".

Seeing all the zodiac signs disagreeing with her testing, even Cancer holding her hand carrying the hammer to keep it from moving, Taurus looked at Myro for support.

But Myro shook his head which showed that Myro was not supporting him either.

Knowing that he was forbidden from trying how strong he was now, Taurus could only lower his hammer with an unhappy smile "I understand!".

When Taurus had lowered his hammer then everyone sighed to throw away his worries, as long as Taurus hit this cave then this place must have collapsed instantly.

Since the matter of trying to increase his strength was already done, Myro again spoke "I will summon a new zodiac spirit again, you guys must also already know who will appear this time".

Scorpio nodded "If it's a Half Martial Emperor stage, then only that zodiac can appear".

Virgo said proudly "Although the zodiac is pretty enough, compared to me it still loses quite a distance".

Taurus moves his head to the side to look unconcerned "Isn't that the woman just showing up? I don't care, as long as we hit each other then I'll definitely win".

All the other zodiac signs nod indicating that they also know who the zodiac sign appears to be, only Leo looks towards the zodiacs around him "Absolutely who showed up this time? Why can't I remember?".

Looking at this forgetful Leo, the Capricorn who was holding a goat doll in his hand slightly rolled his eyes "Isn't that obvious, though, when the master reached Half Martial Emperor then it was time for Big Brother Aquarius to reappear".
