Mi Xuan narrowed his eyes and barked, “Presumptuous!”
A grey energy surged out from Mi Xuan’s body as he continued to say, “You asked for this, Ji Ying. You have to suffer the consequences of your actions.”
“It’s too early to tell who would suffer the consequences…” Ji Ying said indifferently. As the first true disciple of Ji You, the Heavenly Emperor of the Given Heaven, he was naturally not easily intimidated. Even if his opponent was truly a Nine Star God of War, he remained confident. Moreover, based on his opponent’s reaction earlier, it was likely that his opponent was not even a Nine Star God of War. Hence, he thought it was likely that his opponent was only a top of Eight Star God of War or had only just recently become a Nine Star God of War. Moreover, the strongest powerhouse in the Nine Serenities Battlefield were Nine Stars Gods of War like him; gods were prohibited from entering. For all these reasons, he was unafraid of his opponent.
Mi Xuan scoffed as his eyes shone with killing intent. At this moment, a figure that resembled him, or rather, Tang San Pao, appeared. The clone had red eyes, unlike Mi Xuan. Based on the pair of red eyes, it was obvious the clone was the Undead Doppelganger from the law of death.
Swoosh!
Ji Ying made a move as well. In just an instant, he shone with a green light. Like a gust of wind, he easily dodged Mi Xuan’s clone.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
As Ji Ying dodged Mi Xuan’s preemptive attack, he attacked at the same time. In just a blink of an eye, countless wind sabers appeared and swept toward Mi Xuan like a tsunami.
…
At the same time, the high-ranking members of the Given Alliance looked at the men from the Title Temple. Then, one of them explained, “Gentlemen, don’t worry. Our Leader won’t hurt Lord Mi Xuan. He’s only testing Lord Mi Xuan’s strength.”
In fact, the explanation was unnecessary. Even when the wind sabers swept toward Mi Xuan, their faces remained expressionless. It was obvious they were not worried at all.
These men were not familiar with Mi Xuan at all. They had only followed him here because of Wu Hong Qing’s orders. As Eight Star Gods of War, they naturally would not easily acknowledge someone whom they were familiar with. Hence, they were secretly thrilled by this chance to observe Mi Xuan’s strength.
One of the Eight Star Gods of War from the Title Temple said with a sigh, “I’ve long heard the first true disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Given Heaven is a Nine Star God of War. It’s not a waste of my time coming here since I’m able to witness his strength…”
Another one of the Eight Star Gods of War nodded. “You’re right.”
The group of Eight Star Gods of War discussed in low voices as they watched the fight before them. None of them was worried about Mi Xuan’s safety at all. Since none of them was present during the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses, they did not recognize him at all.
On the other hand, the members of the Given Alliance were shocked by the group of Eight Star Gods of War’s lackadaisical attitudes.
…
Back in the sky above the valley in the Given Alliance base.
Mi Xuan easily deflected the wind sabers before he vanished into thin air. When he reappeared again, it was clear he was not injured by the wind sabers at all. Then, he said indifferently, “Is this the extent of your strength?”
Ji Ying’s expression changed slightly. Although he did not attack with his full might, he did not hold back much of his strength as well. With this, he finally realized Mi Xuan was indeed a Nine Star God of War. He cursed inwardly at Mi Xuan for being so misleading with his words earlier.
Ji Ying attacked once again. This time, he did not hold back and attacked with all his strength. He was determined to end the fight in a draw at least. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing if he was defeated. After all, he was the one who had challenged Mi Xuan first.
“I’m going to defeat you with just a strike,” Mi Xuan said indifferently.
Ji Ying and the other high-ranking members of the Given Heaven were shocked by Mi Xuan’s bold claim. After all, even if Mi Xuan was a Nine Star God of War, it would be difficult for him to defeat Ji Ying who was also a Nine Star God of War.
“Presumptuous!” Ji Ying roared. Green energy surged, stirring up a gust of violent wind. At this moment, he looked like the god of wind who could destroy heaven and earth with just a wave of his hand.
“You’ll see soon enough if I’m being presumptuous or not,” Mi Xuan said indifferently.
As soon as Mi Xuan’s voice fell, a streak of light shot out from his glabella. It looked like a meteor as it flew across the sky. In just a blink of an eye, it was only a few inches away from Ji Ying.
Ji Ying’s Celestial Origin Energy that had been imbued with the law of wind was helpless against Mi Xuan’s attack.
…
“A-a soul attack?!”
The spectator gasped in shock. After all, even among their peers, there were not many who mastered soul attacks since it was difficult to master. Hence, they were shocked when they saw Mi Xuan casting a soul attack.
“Nevertheless, it still won’t be easy for him to defeat a Nine Star God of War with soul attacks alone, right?”
Although soul attacks were powerful, it was impossible for them to defeat someone who had the same cultivation base as the caster unless one used a soul-type divine artifact as well.
…
“A soul attack?” Ji Ying scoffed.
In fact, Mi Xuan was highly skilled in soul attacks. Moreover, he also possessed a soul-type divine artifact.
On the other hand, although Ji Ying was slightly skilled in soul attacks, he only used them to launch sneak attacks. He preferred to attack with his Celestial Origin Energy and the law he had comprehended.
At this moment, Ji Ying’s mocking smile suddenly froze on his face. When Mi Xuan’s soul attack was only a hair’s breadth away, he tried to dodge. He discovered that his attacks only managed to reduce half the force of Mi Xuan’s attack. Mi Xuan’s attack landed on him just as he was about to make his move. Following that, he felt as though his brain was growing heavier and heavier. He also found it hard to focus.
…
Boom!
A loud commotion rang in the air, causing the group of spectators to look in the direction of the commotion. They were shocked when they saw Mi Xuan’s clone sending Ji Ying flying with just a punch.
After being hit, the green energy that shrouded Ji Ying vanished immediately. He spat out a mouthful of blood as he tried to stabilize his footing. Traces of fear could be seen on his pale face when he looked at Mi Xuan again.
“Who are you exactly?!” Ji Ying did not think anyone could be so highly skilled in soul attacks without using soul-type divine artifacts.
Naturally, Ji Ying was unaware that his opponent was a member of the Phantom Clan from the Land of the Dead. Most importantly, he was unaware that his opponent was a King of Gods who had sealed his sous.
…
At the same time, the spectators looked at Mi Xuan in shock. None of them had expected this outcome.
The Eight Star Gods of War from the Title Temple sighed in relief inwardly. Fortunately, none of them tried to challenge Mi Xuan when they still doubted his strength. Otherwise, they would have suffered terribly. After all, even Ji Ying, the first true disciple of Ji You, the Heavenly Emperor of the Given Heaven, was easily defeated despite being a Nine Star God of War. Most of them could also tell that Mi Xuan had been holding back earlier.. If he did not hold back, just a punch from his clone could have killed Ji Ying.
