Chapter 1990: The Eight Protectors of Heavenly Evil
Chapter 1990: Chapter 1990: The Eight Protectors of Heavenly Evil
These two people, in terms of cultivation alone, are nothing special.
But their methods, especially Lingg Hong’s astonishing shot from ten thousand miles away just now, were enough to surprise him.
That arrow was even enough to instantly kill a Supreme 9995 Dao expert.
The profound meaning behind it was definitely a legendary arrow skill, perhaps even stronger.
"The famous Black Robe Xiao Xun, indeed, has some skills." At this moment, Heu Youu sneered coldly.
"But, do you know us?" Lingg Hong frowned and asked.
Just now, Xiao Xun had obviously spoken their names.
Xiao Yi glanced at the two indifferently, "You two are the Eighteen Mansions’ Talents; even if I haven’t seen you before, I know your appearances."
"Why are you looking for me?" Xiao Yi asked directly.
"Just to bring you a message." Lingg Hong said coldly.
"Miss Shui is giving you one last chance, whether to seize it or not."
Xiao Yi squinted his eyes slightly upon hearing this.
Even before, he had suspected that not only the Dominating Star Mansion, Medicine Star Mansion, and other forces were obeying Shui Ninghan.
Now it seems, this is indeed the case.
Lingg Hong and Heu Youu likely were already under Shui Ninghan’s command.
"The same answer, do I have to say it several times?" Xiao Yi said indifferently.
"So, it’s a refusal." Lingg Hong sneered.
"Good, I’ve received your answer."
"However, as young talents, let me remind you once more."
"In the Central Region, those who love to meddle often don’t live long."
"Today, we are here to stop you from continuing to meddle."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi squinted his eyes again, "I suppose you’re talking about my recent slaughter of evil cultivator branches in various regions."
"Whether you can stop me depends on your abilities."
"Perhaps, I’ll capture you instead?"
As the words fell, Xiao Yi took action instantly.
He had always felt that Shui Ninghan was mysterious and unfathomable.
This time, capturing Lingg Hong and Heu Youu might perhaps lure Shui Ninghan out again.
Then, maybe it would clear up many doubts.
Lingg Hong and Heu Youu simply floated in mid-air, looking at the attacking Xiao Yi without making any moves.
On their faces were cruel smirks.
"Hmm?" Xiao Yi’s heart skipped a beat; his intuition told him something wasn’t right.
Sure enough, just as he was about to seize Lingg Hong and Heu Youu, a silhouette appeared out of thin air.
It was an old man.
The old man only snorted coldly.
A single snort, yet like heavenly thunder, exploded incessantly in Xiao Yi’s mind.
The assaulting silhouette of Xiao Yi was directly flung away heavily.
"Pff." Once Xiao Yi steadied himself, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Inside, his Qi-Blood rolled uncontrollably.
"A Legendary Expert." Xiao Yi’s eyes narrowed sharply.
The old man before him was definitely an old legendary expert.
Though not on the level of Hall Master Lei Xiao, far stronger than the likes of Tu Qianqiu.
"A mere Three-star Ghost Hunter dares to lay a hand on my apprentice? Audacious." The old man voiced coldly.
Xiao Yi squinted his eyes.
Lingg Hong sneered, "Xiao Xun, my master could have killed you today."
"However, I’ll spare your life for now."
"Anyway, someone else will take your life, hahaha."
Lingg Hong laughed several times.
Heu Youu also sneered, "Guisha Festival is just a few days away."
"Too bad, you won’t live to see it."
"The title of Ghost Hunting King will belong to me and Lingg Hong."
"Ah, I forgot to mention, Lingg Hong and I are also Ghost Hunters."
As the words fell, the two followed the old man, disappearing into thin air.
Xiao Yi frowned.
The face under the mask was extremely cold.
If not for this old man, he would have already captured Lingg Hong and Heu Youu.
First there was Lei Xiao, now there’s this old man.
Being toyed with repeatedly like this, unable to fight back, truly made him feel a bit suffocated.
However, Xiao Yi was also used to it.
Those who could bully him were these old monsters.
Indeed, having a strong expert at your back lets you act recklessly.
But Xiao Yi didn’t have one.
But he didn’t care.
He would walk this path of strength personally.
...
A day later.
Xiao Yi routinely slaughtered the evil cultivation branches, clearing out various regions.
At this time, he had just finished clearing one region and was preparing to go to the next.
Swoosh... Swoosh... Swoosh... Swoosh...
Beside him, eight figures appeared out of thin air.
Eight terrifying icy auras instantly locked onto him.
The eight surrounded him, sealing all directions.
"Black Robe Xiao Xun, we’ve finally caught up to you." One person said through gritted teeth, face icy cold.
"Evil cultivators." Xiao Yi’s eyes turned cold.
He could immediately tell that these eight were evil cultivators.
Moreover, their strength was frighteningly strong.
The strength of any one of these eight exceeded that of Elder Tian Xie.
In other words, each of these eight was at least a Fifty Thousand Dao expert.
"For not seeking you out, you came to me instead." Facing the encirclement, Xiao Yi was unfazed.
Though his heart was tensed, exceptionally cautious.
Simultaneously, there was a sense of excitement.
If he guessed correctly, these eight were definitely on the evil cultivator mission.
And, absolutely above five stars, maybe even a six-star assassination mission.
"Such an arrogant boy." One person squinted his eyes.
The others were already impatient, no, to be precise, unable to contain their anger.
"Stop wasting words, just kill him directly."
"Elder Tian Xie was killed; if we don’t bring this boy’s corpse back to the General Mansion, they’d blame us, and we won’t survive."
"Attack."
The eight simultaneously shouted coldly and attacked instantly.
Xiao Yi’s eyes sharpened, he sneered, "Ice Storm Devouring Soul."
His hand had already grasped the Universe Ring.
The Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace appeared out of thin air.
Boom...
A formless ice and snow storm surged out instantly.
The eight who attacked were surrounded by snow and wind in an instant.
Their originally extremely fast speed was conveniently slowed.
Xiao Yi sneered.
He had long known that now, Ice Storm Devouring Soul was his biggest trump card.
The Ice Phoenix Sword had originally been his biggest trump card.
But if he used the power within the Ice Phoenix Sword, the backlash would be terribly severe.
Nowadays, Ice Storm Devouring Soul as a soul skill, could indirectly unleash the power of the Ice Phoenix Sword.
Coupled with the sufficient soul power supported by the Soul Power Origin.
Naturally, Ice Storm Devouring Soul became his biggest trump card.
Boom...
Xiao Yi increased the consumption of soul power.
The speed of the eight became extremely slow, but they weren’t harmed.
"Hmm?" Xiao Yi frowned.
The soul power he was now employing was extremely massive.
If it were a single Fifty Thousand Dao expert, they might not have been able to withstand it, dying under the Ice Storm Devouring Soul.
But now, dealing with eight was much more challenging.
Xiao Yi had no choice but to continue increasing the mobilization of soul power.
Though using Soul Power Origin and Ice Storm Devouring Soul didn’t produce backlash, his mind could withstand only limited soul power burst.
If the soul power burst continued, his mind might not hold up.
This was far more than the pressure of the Hundred Thoughts Sword Intent on his mind.
"Brat, die."
One suddenly burst forth, his speed surging, arriving before Xiao Yi in an instant, delivering a palm strike.
Xiao Yi’s pupils shrank, without hesitation he increased the soul power burst.
But that evil cultivator’s palm struck heavily on his chest eventually.
"Pff." Xiao Yi spat out blood, severely injured in an instant.
Boom...
Xiao Yi’s eyes turned icy cold.
The Soul Power Origin exploded incredibly in that moment.
The ice and snow storm immediately became a beam of white light.
The white light swept across.
Within miles, everything froze.
In the air, eight ice sculptures, lifelike, and vividly real.
Inside the ice sculptures were already eight cold corpses.
...
The third update.
Today’s update is done.
Originally, Xiao Ba intended to make up for the previous misses today.
But now, it’s too late, even if I make it up, at most only two Chapters can be added.
Thus, I can only call it off and make it up tomorrow.
