550 Li Xiang Takes Matters into His Own Hands
"What the f*ck? That kid is crazy! He just mocked the Jōnin right in his face! What the hell is he trying to do?"
"What a load of crap! I have to be as crazy as him to know what the hell is he thinking about!"
...
At that moment, the crowd was fazed. Having witnessed Chen Xiaobei's insanity earlier, they never dreamt that there was no limit to his madness; the things that he was about to do was getting crazier and crazier. It was as if he was born to shake the core of human beings. One after another; his actions might be enough to cause heart attacks.
"Kid, did you bring your brain with you today?"
Glaring at Chen Xiaobei condescendingly, Dongtiao Wugui said, "You are just a defenseless chicken! How dare you boast here in front of me?! Now, I'm curious. Who is the one pretending to be tough now?"
While talking, Dongtiao Wugui strode towards Chen Xiaobei while his True Qi was circulating through his entire body. It seemed like he had no intention to talk anymore.
"Mr. Chen! Be careful! That guy is really powerful!"
Anxiously, Faction leader Mu and Tan gave Chen Xiaobei a fair warning. Though they had issues with Chen Xiaobei, they still stayed close to their life principles. On the contrary, Elder Qiu from Xuanjian Faction had already made up his mind that he was going to side with the Japanese.
"This kid is just putting up a tough front! I will bang my head on the wall if he can defeat Mr. Dongtiao!"
Once the word spread, the crowd tossed a despicable glare at this traitor. Even Qiao'er could not help but express her dissatisfaction.
"This old man is spineless! It is so embarrassing to have an elder like him in Xuanjian Faction!"
"Qiao'er, stop talking. It's time for you to take a few steps back!"
"Why?"
"Stop asking why. That idiot is going to die if I don't help him!"
"What? You want to help him? No way! I will not agree to this!"
Immediately, Qiao'er held the arms of the masked lady tightly – not allowing her to take the risk.
"Your body has just recovered from an illness. You should know that your body is still rather weak! Forcing your body to perform martial arts is going to cost your life!"
"Qiao'er, let go… You…"
Before she could finish her sentence, the masked lady was left speechless. Everyone in the crowd was perplexed at the same time!
*Swoosh*
A white shadow dashed out from within the crowd like a white phantom and landed in front of Dongtiao Wugui within split seconds!
*Boom!*
With a loud noise echoing in the air, Dongtiao Wugui struck the white shadow with a punch. The terrifying collision created blast waves; causing sand and stones to scatter everywhere. Dongtiao Wugui and the white shadow were forced to take three steps back after attacking each other. Seemingly, they were both as powerful!
"Good heavens! This man is another elite with True Nirvana Stage!"
"Why is he standing in front of Chen Xiaobei? Is he protecting him?"
"But… But… He looks really weird… Is… Is that a human being?"
"Blood descendant! He is the legendary blood descendant!"
.....
Immediately, the crowd screamed in terror. Most of the folks here were experienced Jianghu folks. In a chaotic place like Dragon City, surely, they had heard about the blood descendant even if they had not seen one with their own eyes. Left in bewilderment, the crowd finally witnessed a real blood descendant.
This blood descendant looked really young. It seemed like he was in his twenties. However, his hair was all white. A pair of bloodshot eyes with silver pupils made him looked like a real-life monster! Aside from having sharp fangs and claws, there was also a pair of wings that were similar to bat wings on his back.
Certainly, regular folk would have been scared to death if he appeared in the crowded part of Dragon City! Thankfully, the crowd of people there was rather knowledgeable.
"Li Xiang?"
Immediately, Chen Xiaobei recognized that blood descendant.
"It's me…" Li Xiang nodded his head and continued to say, "I will be your weapon to defeat them but you have to promise me something!"
"Hehe… Actually, I do not require your assistance. This Dongtiao 'Turtle' can do no harm unto me." Cheng Xiaobei replied with a confident smile on his face.
"Alright. Quit the tough act! How is it possible that you can defeat him? Take a few steps back! I'm going to use all my strength to fight him!"
Promptly, Li Xiang regained his focus. The combination of bloodshot eyes with silver pupils, white hair and a pair of wings made him look really cool! To him, Chen Xiaobei was just trying to be boastful in front of everyone. His opponent's speed and strength would land him a total defeat even if he had a magical item in hand!
"Bastard! Who are you calling a turtle? I can understand your language well! Do you really think hiring a vampire can protect you? You have underestimated the ninjas of Japan! Octadic Spectral Squad! Formation!"
Immediately, the members of Octadic Spectral Squad carried out their roles.
"Stabilize your mind! Channel energy! Synchronize with the universe! Restore! Sense the crisis! Invisibility! Control the time! Control the five elements!"
Each of them shouted a phrase and eight hand seals were formed. Immediately, eight streams of True Qi with different colors rushed out from the eight of them and entered Dongtiao Wugui's body. He was transformed into an entity that looked like Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki! Dazzling, eight rays of True Qi circled around him. A powerful aura shadowed the whole area. It was as if a divine soldier had set foot on earth, filling him up with mighty power!
"This is the result of the formation!"
Suddenly, Dongtiao Wugui shouted and the Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki opened his eyes and prepared to strike Li Xiang with both of his fists.
"Good heavens! What… What the hell is going on?"
At that split second, the crowd was terrified! Immediately, the crowd fell back to around ten meters. Some of them could not even stop shaking. Though most of them were faction leaders, they had never seen something like this in their entire lives.
"Too… Too powerful!"
Even faction leaders with Half Step True Nirvana Stage like Mu and Tan were shocked to the core.
"Master Dongtiao is so powerful! This power is equivalent to the Middle Phase of True Nirvana Stage! Haha! That vampire is so dead!"
Standing afar, Elder Qiu was cheering. Seemingly, he was glad that he sided with the right team!
"Aren't you going to run?" Chen Xiaobei asked.
"Of course not! I want to be able to gain your trust! I want to do something big for you!"
Li Xiang knew that chances of him defeating Dongtiao Wugui was extremely low. However, there was nothing that could change his mind right now. He then charged at Dongtiao Wugui without any hesitation.
"Want to gain my trust? I want to see if you can sacrifice your life to protect me."
Focusing his gaze, Chen Xiaobei would not put his trust in Li Xiang easily.
*Boom!*
A loud noise echoed in the air, Li Xiang's True Kang was unleashed from his body. His entire being that was white as snow collided with the Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, powered by the Octadic Spectral Squad! The terrifying collision caused the ground to tremble. Ravaged by the shockwave, the whole place was barely recognizable.
