Under Xue Jianhe’s command, two other Emperors joined the battle. Of the two Emperors, one was at the first-stage while the other was at the second-stage. With their addition, Xiang Shaoyun was now facing three Emperors.
If news of this spread, this feat alone was enough for Xiang Shaoyun’s fame to skyrocket. He was only a seventh-stage King, yet he forced three Emperors to work together against him. It was obvious how much potential he had.
“Eat my sword and die, kid!” The first-stage Emperor was the first to attack, and he stabbed his sword at Xiang Shaoyun.
Skybreaker Sword!
The second-stage Emperor also attacked, sending a spinning chakram toward Xiang Shaoyun.
Meteor Disk!
The two Emperors attacked together, completely sealing Xiang Shaoyun’s path of escape.
“Hahaha! This is great!!” Xiang Shaoyun started howling with laughter as he activated his lightning bone. At the same time, he started drawing from his lightning star as well. Dark clouds gathered in the sky above, and numerous thick silver lightning bolts rained down on the world below.
Rumble! Rumble!
After fusing with the silver lightning core, Xiang Shaoyun’s entire spine had turned purple and silver in color. The same color had also spread to two of his ribs, signifying that the number of lightning bones in his body were increasing. His innate lightning power was growing stronger, and the silver lightning core in his lightning star had also greatly increased his ability to summon lightning bolts.
At the same time, a dreadful storm appeared around them. This storm was not as simple as some hurricanes created by the Hurricane Kick. Rather, it was formed by the yin devil wind. This was the same storm that had surrounded the yin devil wind before it was refined by Xiang Shaoyun, and the only difference was that this version was much weaker and smaller in scale. Even so, when combined with the silver lightning bolts, a dreadful natural disaster had still been created.
This attack was none other than the technique Xiang Shaoyun had accidentally created when refining the silver lightning core and the yin devil wind, Wind and Lightning.
Shock instantly covered the faces of the three Emperors. They could feel an intense sense of threat from this attack. Soon, they were completely submerged amid the storm of wind and lightning, losing the ability to even see their surroundings clearly.
“Shit! What forbidden technique has that kid used? Why is it so scary?” Meng Gansu cried out in alarm. He rushed over and slammed his palms forward, sending two dreadful attacks toward the storm.
Rumble! Rumble!
Meng Gangsu lived up to his identity as a late-stage Emperor. With his strength far beyond Xiang Shaoyun’s, he erased the storm and rescued the three Emperors. Even so, the three Emperors looked extremely sorry. Their bodies were scorched black, their clothes reduced to rags and dyed red with blood. They had clearly been seriously injured. With one attack, Xiang Shaoyun had reduced three Emperors into such terrible shapes. This was an astonishing feat.
“Young brother, wherever you come from, please leave. We can forget about this if you leave now,” said Meng Gansu calmly.
He did not seem to care one bit about what had happened before. One could say that he was even slightly deferential when speaking with Xiang Shaoyun. Naturally, Xue Jianhe found that unacceptable. He roared at Meng Gansu, “Are you stupid? You are pretending like everything is fine even though he has just killed our people? Are you going to do the same after I’m killed as well?”
“Shut up!” Meng Gansu shouted and glared at Xue Jianhe.
Inwardly, he was cursing, What a brainless fool. This person is already so powerful with just a cultivation level of seventh-stage Skysoar Realm. He also dares to enter deep into the Devil Domain alone. He is definitely someone with an extraordinary background that the Noxious Blood Gang can not afford to offend!
Meng Gansu was able to think of all that, yet Xue Jianhe, the son of their great monarch and the future leader of the Noxious Blood Gang, failed to reach the same conclusion. Meng Gansu was right that he was a brainless fool. Since young, Xue Jianhe had never been scolded by anyone besides his father. He viewed Meng Gansu’s behavior as insubordination and was completely infuriated.
Very well. After this is over and when we are back at the gang, I will get my father to cripple you, old bastard, cursed Xue Jianhe inwardly.
Since he was still in the Devil Domain and needed the protection of Meng Gansu and the others, he suppressed his anger and shut his mouth with the sliver of reason he still had. Inwardly, however, he had already labeled Meng Gansu a traitor.
“You are a smart person. How about this, give me the two beauties. They have caught this young master’s eye. Hand them over, and I will let this rest,” said Xiang Shaoyun with a cheeky grin.
He had an extraordinary handsome face, and combined with the grin, he radiated a different sort of charm. The sight caused the anxious Han Clan sisters to feel like they were bathing in the warm embrace of the sun, their nervousness receding like a tide.
They knew that Xiang Shaoyun was behaving like that just to save them. Saying that they had caught his eye was merely an excuse. After all, if he really wanted to do something to them, they wouldn’t have been able to leave the Skeleton Gang safely back then. They were quite surprised to find that this young man who was even younger than them was actually such a powerful combatant.
“Young brother, they are the captives of our Noxious Blood Gang. I’m afraid I won’t be able to hand them over. I advise you to leave right away. Otherwise, it doesn’t matter what background you have. If you are killed here, nobody will know that the Noxious Blood Gang is the culprit,” threatened Meng Gansu.
He had been surviving in the Bloodsin City and the Devil Domain for many years and was extremely experienced in terms of survival. Even the threat he was throwing Xiang Shaoyun’s way was in fact his way of showing respect. But if this young man really wanted to fight it out, he wouldn’t mind killing him either.
“Sure. Come on, then. Kill me. Don’t worry, I don’t have any backer,” said Xiang Shaoyun with a nonchalant shrug.
The calmer Xiang Shaoyun seemed, the more Meng Gansu hesitated. He no longer dared to make any rash moves.
Finally, Xue Jianhe couldn’t stand it anymore and roared, “All of you, go and turn him into mincemeat. I will personally inform my father of your contributions when we are back in the city.”
That was an attractive promise to the Emperors. There were still five Emperors on their side. It wouldn’t be hard if they wanted to kill a War Emperor. Thus, they charged Xiang Shaoyun, fighting to be the first to capture or kill this young man so as to please their future leader.
“You should have done this long ago,” said Xiang Shaoyun with an indifferent smile.
Meng Gansu had a bad premonition when he saw that smile. Sure enough, as the Emperors approached Xiang Shaoyun, an unknown space suddenly appeared and covered them all. By the time the Emperors noticed the unknown space, it was already too late for them to flee.
