Elder Wan Zheng and the rest were stunned.
At that moment, Jin Lei and the others had already taken action! Almost at the same time, the academy elders immediately followed!
A portion of them was stopped. After all, quite a few elders had come out from the academy’s side, and the two parties had equal numbers. But amongst them, some people were faster and surrounded Rong Xiu and Chu Liuyue.
Rong Xiu suddenly took a step closer and lightly patted Chu Liuyue’s shoulders. “Stay here. Leave the rest to me.”
Chu Liuyue felt her shoulders sink. Then, something silently flowed down her shoulders.
She opened her hands and quickly put the item into her Cosmic Ring. Then, she looked at Rong Xiu.
The two of them exchanged a glance and understood what the other party meant.
She silently nodded. “Senior Brother, be careful.”
The next moment, Rong Xiu lifted his hand and rapidly set up a golden barrier around Chu Liuyue! Then, he moved his figure and stood before Chu Liuyue. “Their target is me.”
He lifted his chin slightly and looked calm, but he revealed a natural nobleness that came from his bones. “Come up together!”
Rong Xiu’s sentence completely agitated those few people. “Arrogant!”
These few years, Rong Xiu had a famous reputation as the Sky-Cloud Empire’s His Grace. Rumors had it that his birth mother secretly married someone from outside the realm and gave birth to him.
He was only discovered by the Sky-Cloud Empire’s people a few years after he was born and was later brought back.
In the beginning, the Sky-Cloud Empire planned to kill him directly. After all, such a matter was a huge stain to any top-tier country in the God Residence Realm. However, the Sky-Cloud Empire still kept him in the end—because of his shocking talent!
In the end, not only could he live in the Sky-Cloud Empire, but he even became His Grace!
Rumors had it that his personality was violent, and his methods were vicious. If not, he wouldn’t have held great power during the mere few years the Sky-Cloud Empire’s clan leader was in seclusion, taking control of the entire Sky-Cloud Empire.
Hence, from the very start, Jin Lei and the others didn’t underestimate Rong Xiu. But hearing him say this now, they still found it ridiculous.
After experiencing the previous battle, they roughly already knew how capable Rong Xiu was. It was normal for him to be able to resist for a while, but it was impossible for him to challenge so many people at the same time!
Jin Lei took action first!
The others didn’t lag behind as they were terrified that Jin Lei would snatch the item away, so they quickly followed!
Rong Xiu floated in mid-air and raised his arm.
A ball of golden light rapidly appeared in his palms! At the same time, his surrounding aura crazily exploded!
The shocking suppression started spreading in all directions with him as the center!
Jin Lei’s heart tingled, and he suddenly felt uneasy. After experiencing the bitter battle just now, Rong Xiu should be weaker. However, why does he seem the same as before?
At this point, Rong Xiu looked up.
Two balls of golden fire quickly flashed across the depths of his two eyes!
Jin Lei suddenly noticed something, and shock flashed across his face. “Why do you have a god—
Rumble!
Jin Lei didn’t even have time to finish his sentence.
Rong Xiu waved his wrist, and a golden ball of fire silently flew out!
It was the size of a fist, but the outer layer seemed to be wrapped by a transparent layer of glass as it contained rich golden light.
When it glided through the air, it very strangely didn’t cause any energy ripples. It seemed like it just floated forward in a slow and ordinary manner.
Shock quickly flashed across Jin Lei’s eyes as he rapidly moved backward! This Rong Xiu still hid his true abilities previously!
He panicked and retreated as if that small golden ball of light was something extremely terrifying.
He was fast, but that golden ball of light was even faster! Jin Lei also quickly realized that his surrounding space became sticky and heavy!
His every move used up more strength than ever!
“Why is his God Realm so powerful?!” At this point, the few people at the side finally realized something was wrong as they all yelled in shock.
Jin Lei’s throat tightened, and all the blood in his body seemed to freeze as his mind turned blank!
Rong Xiu was the Sky-Cloud Empire’s His Grace. According to the rumors, his bloodline power had long awakened, and he had already crafted Your Grace’s Golden Body.
The so-called ‘Your Grace’s Golden Body’ was a special Holy Body. It was the Sky-Cloud Empire’s unique technique.
Even if other cultivators became true gods, they might not be able to produce their own Holy Body. However, the Sky-Cloud Empire was different. Over the years, their His Graces could unleash their bloodline power and form Your Grace’s Golden Body when they broke through to become a true god. This was akin to crafting their own His Grace.
This was also why the Sky-Cloud Empire’s His Grace always had strong combat skills.
This was beneficial, but it also had cons. Once they formed Your Grace’s Golden Body, they wouldn’t be able to produce an even stronger Holy Body.
This was their greatest weakness, but just now, Jin Lei clearly felt that Rong Xiu… had unleashed a Holy Body suppression that was stronger than Your Grace’s Golden Body!
He has two Holy Bodies! His God Realm’s suppression is naturally two times—no, more than two times stronger! When these crazy thoughts kept flashing across Jin Lei’s mind, that golden ball of light had arrived three steps in front of him.
Rong Xiu’s expression was nonchalant as he looked down at the others. His thin lips curled up slightly, and he spat out a word—the suppression was very heavy, like a royal verdict. “Break!”
