Editor: Phoobiee
“Don’t you dare!” Seeing that Xiao Yun was truly going to act against Fang Hao, a panicked expression appeared on Fang Xun’s face as he prepared to charge towards the stage again.
“Yun’Er, kill that brat!” Xiao Hai and Xiao Hong roared as they hurriedly went to stop Fang Xun.
“Hold it!” The Fang family’s old patriarch’s expression darkened as Essence Qi swirled in his hand, preparing to attack.
“Hmph, your opponent is this old man.” The Xiao family’s old patriarch was extremely domineering and blocked in front of the Fang family’s old patriarch, also striking out with his hands.
It was at this moment that Xiao Yun attacked and directly killed Fang Hao. A snapping sound rang out as Fang Hao’s neck hung at a crooked angle as he died on the spot.
“Hao’Er!” Fang Xun’s eyes became blood-red; he felt grieved and inconsolable and wanted to go to the stage to kill Xiao Yun.
“Hmph, go die, Fang Xun!” Behind him, Xiao Hai abruptly launched a vigorous attack.
Whoosh!
A dense stream of Essence Qi rushed out like a gigantic dragon, giving off an air that made it seem like it could sweep away the entire world.
The Xiao family’s Dragon Snake Dual Travel looked like it had mediocre strength, but the higher cultivation the user had, the more might it would display.
The dragon of Essence Qi travelled incredibly quickly, and appeared right behind Fang Xun.
“d.a.m.nit!” Fang Xun frowned and hurriedly returned with an attack of his own.
“Hmph, didn’t your Fang family want to destroy our Xiao family? Your elder wants to see just how strong your family is.” Xiao Hai coldly harrumphed as he attacked with his full strength towards Fang Xun. Behind him, Xiao Hong also came quickly as the two of them attacked together.
Bang!
The might from the attacks from True Essence realm experts were fearsome, and boundless Essence Qi swept out like a gigantic wave. The cultivators nearby all felt a sense of fear within their hearts and hurriedly retreated. At the same time, the Xiao family’s old patriarch was battling with the Fang family’s old patriarch.
Bang!
The Xiao family’s old patriarch gave off a mighty air as he controlled Essence Qi with both hands: one hand looked like it was holding a ma.s.sive dragon while the other looked like he was holding a python. His hands continuously guided them, and they weaved by and around each other, giving off a feeling of the laws of heaven and earth; it caused this Martial Skill to feel even more vigorous and profound.
Roar!!
The dragon and snake actually gave a roaring sound, as if they were real.
“It’s actually forming a dragon?” The Fang family’s old patriarch’s gaze became serious. He could feel a sense of life from the dragon.
It seemed that the Dragon Snake Dual Travel was not just a simple Black grade Martial Skill; today its might had been fully revealed.
Bang!
Despite putting all of his strength into a Heavy Mountain Seal, the Fang family’s old patriarch was unable to stop the ferocious onslaught of the dragon and snake.
Under the impact from the ma.s.sive wave of energy, the Fang family’s old patriarch took many steps back in retreat and started to breathe raggedly.
“Haha, old ghost Fang Kun, looks like you’re not up to this!” The Xiao family’s old patriarch loudly laughed. The longer they fought, the more vigorous his attacks became. The Essence Qi coming from his body felt like a sea; there seemed to be a dragon and snake hiding within it, preparing to furiously attack at any moment.
Dragon Snake Dual Travel was an ancient Martial Skill which the Xiao family’s progenitor had left for them. However, in the recent 100 years, very few people from the Xiao family had stepped into the Essence Core realm, so almost no one comprehended the true power of the Martial Skill.
Now that the Xiao family’s old patriarch had stepped into the Essence Core realm, as he used the Martial Skill, he gradually understood how profound it was.
On the platform, cultivators from various families began to descend and leave, not daring to stay any longer.
The might of an Essence Core realm cultivator was simply too powerful and almost could not be blocked.
Even the shockwaves from such a battle could harm True Essence realm cultivators.
Seeing the current state of affairs, those who were about to join the battle hesitated. Now that Fang Hao had died, if they attacked, what would they gain out of it?
“The Xiao family has committed a grave sin and has dared to kill someone who was to be the disciple of an elder of the Heaven Origin Sect. Their crimes cannot be forgiven, and anyone who kills a member of the Xiao family will have performed a great service, and will be rewarded by my Heaven Origin Sect.” Qiu Yu Chen’s gaze was dark and sinister as he looked around, saying, “Everyone, when will you act, if not now?”
“That’s right, kill the Xiao family’s people!” The Zhou family’s old patriarch’s eyes burned as he shot towards Xiao Hai.
With the Zhou family’s old patriarch acting, Fang Xun was able to breathe again. However, the cultivators from the other families still looked hesitant.
The Xiao family’s old patriarch had stepped into the Essence Core realm, which turned the tides. If they recklessly attacked, the consequences would be unimaginable – if the Fang family’s old patriarch lost, who could resist the power of the Xiao family’s old patriarch?
Even if the Heaven Origin Sect was powerful, they could not save them from imminent doom!
Seeing how hesitant the elders of the other families looked, Qiu Yu Chen tightly frowned, knowing that they were still reluctant to act.
Qiu Yu Chen’s gaze became serious as he thought, “Once Xiao Yun dies, and the Xiao family has no hope, perhaps these people will act.” After thinking this, Qiu Yu Chen’s figure flashed as he rushed towards Xiao Yun.
“He actually wants to kill Xiao Yun?” Everyone felt quite shocked.
Duke Yan deeply frowned. However, Qiu Yu Chen was a disciple of the Heaven Origin Sect, and couldn’t be offended recklessly!
Whoosh!
Qiu Yu Chen flew lightly and gracefully like a sparrow onto the stage. Xiao Yun had just killed Fang Hao, and was watching how the situation unfolded. Seeing Qiu Yu Chen come over, his eyes became cold.
This person had repeatedly tried to stir the other families into destroying the Xiao family, causing Xiao Yun to be filled with killing intent towards him.
“Xiao Yun, you dared to kill a soon-to-be disciple of my Heaven Origin Sect, and deserve to die ten thousand times. Hurry up and surrender!” Qiu Yu Chen landed on the stage and walked towards Xiao Yun as a powerful aura erupted from his body; he coldly spoke and looked at the youth.
“The might of the True Essence realm?” Xiao Yun tightly frowned as he felt Qiu Yu Chen’s aura.
“Hmph, should I just have let Fang Hao kill me then?” Xiao Yun calmed himself down as he coldly asked. Even against a True Essence realm expert, he had no plans of retreating.
“Naturally,” Qiu Yu Chen said as he smirked. “In front of my Heaven Origin Sect, even if you’re a dragon, you need to submit.”
There was a proud look on Qiu Yu Chen’s face, as if he was a peerless expert looking down on Xiao Yun.
“Heaven Origin Sect?” Xiao Yun coldly laughed, “Do you think you can represent the Heaven Origin Sect?”
“Here, of course I can represent the Heaven Origin Sect.” Qiu Yu Chen’s eyes flashed with a cold gleam as he spoke, “If you surrender now, your family can still live. Otherwise, if you anger my Heaven Origin Sect’s experts, your entire Xiao family will be bathed in blood. Killing someone from our sect is an unforgiveable crime.”
“Wanting me to surrender is wishful thinking. If you have the ability then show it to me.” Xiao Yun’s gaze became serious as he collected his spirit energy and prepared to launch a lightning-fast attack. He needed to catch Qiu Yu Chen unaware, as he did not have the strength to fight someone at the True Essence realm directly.
Qiu Yu Chen coldly laughed, “What futile resistance. Since it’s like that, don’t blame me for not holding back. Even the Imperial Capital’s Emissary won’t be able to do anything to me for killing you. This is revenge, as well as revealing my Heaven Origin Sect’s might in order to protect the order of the Moonwind Kingdom.”
“Father, please help Xiao Yun.” In the arena, Yan Shi Fei looked over at Xiao Yun with a worried expression and misty look in her eyes.
She was full of confidence in Xiao Yun, but with Qiu Yu Chen attacking, how could Xiao Yun defend against him? After all, Qiu Yu Chen had stepped into the True Essence realm!
“Father, hurry and teach that Qiu Yu Chen a lesson.” Beside them, Yan Shi Yan also had an extremely worried look on her face, and almost started to sob.
Everything had happened so suddenly that they didn’t know what to do.
“That young master Qiu is a disciple of the Heaven Origin Sect; how can we be disrespectful to him?” Madam Yan said.
“That’s right, we can’t afford to offend the Heaven Origin Sect,” Duke Yan frowned as he sighed.
“Please, father.” Yan Shi Fei pulled on her father’s sleeves as she started to sob.
“Young master Qiu, would it be possible for you to stay your hand? After all, Xiao Yun has obtained the right to take the Heaven Origin Sect’s examination, and can count as half a disciple of the Heaven Origin Sect already.” Duke Yan’s expression became grave as he deeply breathed in and spoke towards the man on the stage.
“Half a disciple?” Qiu Yu Chen coldly laughed, “Fang Hao was someone my uncle decided to take as a disciple; how can Xiao Yun compare to him? If I don’t kill him today, people won’t take my Heaven Origin Sect seriously anymore.” Qiu Yu Chen’s att.i.tude was cold and unyielding as he said, “Duke Yan, although your Yan family is quite powerful, you’re not part of our Sect. If you offend our Heaven Origin Sect, perhaps your entire family will be dragged into this.”
Duke Yan’s expression darkened as he revealed an expression of hesitation.
“Hmph, what’s so great about Fang Hao?” Yan Shi Yan pursed her lips. After coldly harrumphing, she once again grabbed her father’s sleeves as she pleaded, “Father, hurry and help big brother Xiao Yun. He even cured big sis’ poison; how can you let someone else bully him?”
“What? He cured your big sister’s poison?” Duke Yan stared in shock. “How is that possible?”
“Shi Fei, is this true?” Madam Yan looked over in shock.
“Mm,” Yan Shi Fei nodded as she replied.
“That’s good, that’s good.” Madam Yan let out a sigh of relief.
“What’s going on?” Duke Yan asked.
Yan Shi Yan smiled as she replied, “Big brother Xiao Yun is a Pill Refiner, and is amazing.”
“Pill Refiner?” Duke Yan’s eyes lit up as he looked at Yan Shi Fei.
“Mm,” Yan Shi Fei nodded. “That was how Uncle Xiao Hai and the others stepped into the True Essence realm.”
“Father, hurry and help him,” Yan Shi Yan pleaded. “It’s best if you could beat up that Qiu Yu Chen as well.”
“Very well.” Duke Yan came to a decision as he let out his powerful aura.
As Duke Yan stepped out, he looked to Qiu Yu Chen as he said, “Young master Qiu, please stay your hand or this Duke will have to act against you.”
“I’m afraid you don’t have the ability to save him.” Qiu Yu Chen’s gaze became cold as he ignored Duke Yan.
“Who would have thought that you can refine pills. I definitely can’t let you live.” Qiu Yu Chen glared at Xiao Yun with a sinister look, his eyes full of killing intent.
If this youth joined the Heaven Origin Sect, everything would be over. A Pill Refiner would definitely be fostered as much as possible by the Heaven Origin Sect!
“If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for stealing this young master’s woman. That’s why you have to die,” Qiu Yu Chen said as he attacked with his powerful might.
Qiu Yu Chen sent out a palm which seemed to cover the sky as it descended towards Xiao Yun.
Whoosh!
As the giant palm descended, anyone could feel the ferocious Essence Qi it contained, which spread like fog in all directions.
Xiao Yun felt his heart tremble as almost all of his blood vessels exploded under the pressure.
Firecloud Palms!
Xiao Yun tightly frowned as he hurriedly sent a palm of his own towards Qiu Yu Chen. At the same time, he quickly activated the Heaven-Devouring Divine Art, trying to quickly absorb that powerful Essence Qi.
“Insignificant tricks,” Qiu Yu Chen coldly laughed. As the giant palm descended, it destroyed the violet cloud of fire as if it was rotten wood. The might of the True Essence realm was able to completely suppress Xiao Yun, who was only in the Innate realm. It was incredibly difficult to bridge the gap between them.
Bang!
Xiao Yun was sent flying by a powerful force.
At the most critical moment, he had used the Heaven-Devouring Tower’s vortex to defend against the ma.s.sive wave of energy that entered his body. Despite this, when he landed on the ground, he coughed up a big mouthful of fresh blood.
The True Essence realm was simply too powerful, and Xiao Yun had no way of fighting against Qiu Yu Chen.
“In front of me, so what if you have a variant flame?” Qiu Yu Chen walked over as he gave a savage smile. “In the face of absolute power, nothing can take a single blow. Today, you’re doomed to die, and yet you thought you could steal my woman? Haha, don’t worry, I’ll take care of that Yan Shi Fei for you.” After saying this, Qiu Yu Chen prepared to land the killing blow.
“I’m afraid you don’t have the ability to kill me.”
Xiao Yun’s eyes flashed. Although he was lying on the ground, a powerful wave of spirit energy shot out from his mind.
This spirit energy had been condensed into a thread, and shot towards Qiu Yu Chen’s head.
