Chapter 477: Kicking Bai Qi to Death

The same moment Bai Qi and Zhao Wu attacked, Tang Longfei woke up from his meditation. Like an awakening dragon, his aura soared. Once again, Zuo Zhentian joined the battle. He took one step forward, summoned a rain of more than 10 lightning bolts and sent them toward Tang Longfei.

“Zuo Zhentian, I won’t stop before killing you today!” Tang Longfei was finally fighting with the intention to kill. A golden aura swirled around his body as he met the rain of lightning with his overbearing fists.

“Hmph. Let’s see if you are actually capable of that,” said Zuo Zhentian coldly.

Once again, the two geniuses clashed. Just as Bai Qi and Zhao Wu were about to reach Xiang Shaoyun, one demonic mantis king and one man stood in their path.

“If you want to kill Young Master Xiang, you have to step over my dead body,” said the newcomer. He was none other than Shou Xie the Little Beast Emperor and his mount.

He had arrived the day before. When he saw everyone standing aside and watching Xiang Shaoyun, he did the same. When he noticed that Bai Qi and Zhao Wu were trying to kill Xiang Shaoyun, he rushed out without hesitation. After all, he had to put in some work to earn Xiang Shaoyun’s trust.

“Those who get in my way will die!” Bai Qi attacked Shou Xie with no hesitation.

Although Shou Xie was a ninth-stage King Realm cultivator, his individual strength was not at the level of a War Emperor. Thus, he did not dare to face Bai Qi in a head on clash and was forced to let his four-winged mantis take the attack.

The four-winged mantis was a peak Demon King with considerable combat prowess. Even so, it was sent flying with one slash from Bai Qi. At the same instant the mantis was sent flying, Shou Xie shot forth and threw an extraordinary punch forward.

Myriad Beast Fist, Tiger Punch!

This was a fist technique exclusive to the Myriad Beast Sect. Imitating the attacks of the myriad beasts, this was a technique of considerable might. Just from the fact that Shou Xie was using this fist technique made his resolution to protect Xiang Shaoyun clear.

He knew he only needed to buy Xiang Shaoyun a little bit of time. After Xiang Shaoyun regained full consciousness, this crisis would end. After all, the ghostrunes he had seen Xiang Shaoyun use was a force to be reckoned with.

“Brother Bai, leave this kid to me. You need to kill Xiang Shaoyun right now. Don’t allow him to regain consciousness or we will all die,” said Zhao Wu while keeping Shou Xie busy.

Zhao Wu was someone who had survived the ghostrunes and knew very well how terrifying they were. Furthermore, Xiang Shaoyun was someone capable of fighting a ninth-stage Skysoar Realm cultivator when he was a fourth-stage Skysoar Realm cultivator. Now that his cultivation had increased by three stages, he would be an extremely powerful War Emperor. If he was allowed to survive, they would be the ones to die.

A dazzling clump of radiance formed around Bai Qi as he erupted with his full strength. An over one kilometer long sword energy shot out from the clump of radiance toward Xiang Shaoyun who still had his eyes shut.

This was an ultimate attack capable of posing a threat to even an Emperor. In fact, regular Emperors would not be able to withstand this attack. It was clear how resolute he was in killing Xiang Shaoyun.

Yu Caidie wanted to help Xiang Shaoyun, but Yu Ziyi arrived beside her and said, “Sister Die, if he can’t even survive something like this, he won’t qualify as Yu Clan’s son-in-law.”

A look of astonishment flashed past Yu Caidie’s eyes. She nodded, understanding what Yu Ziyi was trying to say. This was a trip to obtain the yin devil wind. Although it seemed like this mission was solely for the purpose of helping them enter the Dragon Ascension Realm, the yin devil wind wasn’t really that important for them.

They only wanted to use the hardship of the trip to temper themselves and stabilize their foundations. While they were at it, they would also compete between themselves to see who was the more outstanding one, the one more suited to be the next Holy Maiden.

With the words Yu Ziyi just said, she had indirectly acknowledged her inferiority and gave up on the competition to be the next Holy Maiden. As for the reason she had advised Yu Caidie to not help, it wasn’t out of any malice toward Xiang Shaoyun. Instead, she wanted to personally see if Xiang Shaoyun truly qualified to be their clan’s son-in-law.

Although Xiang Shaoyun might not really be the son-in-law as he would only be a candidate for now, they still needed to see if he was worthy of being one. Even across the entirety of the dominion, the Yu Clan was a renowned clan. Each of their Holy Maiden was talented and beautiful, capable of attracting numerous marriage proposals from organizations no lower than tier-8. The geniuses here were only from some tier-6 and tier-7 organizations and only qualify as a backup candidate.

Right as Bai Qi’s attack was about to hit Xiang Shaoyun, his body shone with a dazzling gold radiance. Instantly, two layers of gold defensive walls appeared around him. An incomplete third layer had also formed. The three walls formed an indomitable protection around him, akin to an unbreakable fort.

Cling! Clank!

The sword energy clashed on the outer wall, creating a series of bright sparks.

“What?” Everyone was stunned to see Bai Qi’s attack failing to penetrate the defense. That was an attack capable of killing an Emperor yet Xiang Shaoyun had actually blocked the entirety of it. That was an insane feat.

“Impossible! Die!” Bai Qi’s face twisted as he roared and slammed his other hand on the hilt of his sword, applying more force on the stab.

Finally, his attack stabbed into the outer wall. Unfortunately, the sword failed to go in far. In fact, due to the swirling energy amid the walls, the sword was completely stuck. Even when Bai Qi tried to pull his sword out, he failed.

Finally, Xiang Shaoyun opened his eyes. His eyes shone brightly like a pair of stars. He scanned the crowd with disdain, his domineering bearing made all the geniuses look like they were nothing.

“Piss off!” His voice thundered, his rumbling voice reaching far and wide. Bai Qi felt his eardrums bursting. His blood roiled, and as he coughed a mouthful of blood, he was sent flying away.

“You want to kill me? Fine, you can join your dead brother in hell,” said Xiang Shaoyun as his figure vanished into thin air. He instantly appeared before Bai Qi who was still mid-flight and kicked.

“AHHH!”

A wail like a pig being slaughtered rang out as Bai Qi’s spine snapped from the kick, his body sent flying toward a different direction.

“Don’t worry, before you die, I will kick you around for a bit to acclimate myself with my new strength,” said Xiang Shaoyun before vanishing into thin air once again.

He flickered and reappeared before Bai Qi before unleashing another kick. Like a ball, Bai Qi was sent flying to a different direction. Once again, before he could even crash somewhere, Xiang Shaoyun reappeared before him and kicked.

This repeated for a few times until Bai Qi was kicked to his death despite the emperor armor he was wearing. The geniuses there were all overwhelmed with shock. None of them could even see Xiang Shaoyun’s movement. That proved that his speed had gone beyond what their senses could detect.
