Chapter 1319 Outside
1319 Outside Cultivation Online
All it took was a mere glance at Xiao Hua"s face for the Exiles to lose their will to continue fighting.
"C-Crimson Empress?! We were after the Crimson Empress this entire time?!"
When the Exiles came to this realization, their faces twisted with fear and despair.
"What"s going on? Why did they stop the moment they saw her face?" Fiery Queen and the other Players wondered inwardly as they tried to comprehend the situation.
Unlike the Exiles, the Players were oblivious of the Asura Clan"s true influence and power, much less about this Crimson Empress.
"Crimson Empress! We didn"t know you were here! Please, spare me!" One of the Exile suddenly got onto his knees and kowtowed while begging for his life.
"I-I was tricked into doing this! If I had known it was you, I wouldn"t have came here!" Another Exile dropped his weapon and surrounded his hands toward the sky.
"They are this terrified of her? Just what kind of person is her sister?" Yuan wondered inwardly, finding the Exiles" reaction to be quite entertaining.
Abruptly, several Exiles in the vicinity pivoted and started sprinting away, displaying a sense of urgency as if their very lives hinged on making a swift escape, devoid of any hesitation.
"Where do you think you are going?!" Yuan swiftly reacted to their escape and acitvated Ten Thousand Ghost Blades, creating hundreds of Starry Abyss to chase after the Exiles.
None of the Exiles managed to run away successfully and perished out of sight shortly after they ran.
When the other Exiles saw this, they tossed away any thought of running away. However, most of them never even intended to run away in the first place, as they weren"t foolish enough to turn their backs on the Crimson Empress.
"Crimson Empress, please have mercy! We will accept any punishment you give us!"
This was the best way for these Exiles to save their lives— by giving it up on their own and hoping the Crimson Empress would spare them. However, it wouldn"t be out of pity or generosity. In the Crimson Empress" eyes, they were as insignificant as ants, and unless one was a psychopath, they wouldn"t go out of their way to step on every ant they saw.
Xiao Hua wasn"t sure what to do in this situation. She didn"t expect to cause such a commotion by using her sister"s appearance.
Suddenly, just as Xiao Hua opened her mouth, her figure began shrinking.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Hua returned to her original appearance. This was witnessed by everyone there.
Naturally, it was due to the appearance-altering pill running out of effect. Yuan also reverted to his original appearance.
Following a prolonged moment of silence, the Exiles, initially trembling in fear, transitioned to trembling with rage upon understanding the situation.
"Y-You little b.i.t.c.h! Who the f.u.c.k are you?! How dare you mess with us by using the Crimson Empress" appearance!"
The Exiles rose to their feet, gripping their weapons with renewed determination. Their eyes gleamed with a potent killing intent, fueled by an unprecedented sense of humiliation.
"Even if it"s the last thing I do in this life, I will make you pay for humiliating me!"
"How dare you play with me?!"
"You little b.i.t.c.h! I"ll skin you alive!"
The Exiles roared as they ran towards Xiao Hua, completely ignoring Yuan.
Xiao Hua was startled when all of the Exiles started running at her and contemplated releasing her seal again.
A calm sigh that none of them heard suddenly resounded, followed by an immense pressure that appeared out of thin air.
[Heavenly Domain]
Yuan activated Heavenly Domain, abruptly freezing the movements of the Exiles in their tracks.
"Turning your backs to your opponent in the middle of a fight… You guys are either really confident or dumb." Yuan spoke as he replaced the Starry Abyss with the Empyrean Overlord.
"I guess it"s about time I finish this and make my way to the Fourth Heaven."
[Dragon Awakening]
Yuan"s aura surged toward heaven, and his presence began to mirror that of a divine beast. His once pristine black hair and clear eyes transformed into a resplendent gold.
"This won"t take long."
[Vanis.h.i.+ng Ghost"s Soundless Blade]
Yuan"s sword flickered for an instant. The next moment, half of the Exiles there collapsed to the ground without realizing that they had been killed.
A solitary swing of his sword cleaved through over 40 Exiles, rending them in half and causing a river of blood to flow.
When the other Exiles saw this, their faces paled, but before their mind could even comprehend their situation, Yuan swung his sword again.
Sha!
An unyielding and overwhelming sword light flashed, sweeping the rest of the Exiles in the blink of an eye.
In a span of mere seconds since Yuan"s transformation, he had obliterated all the Exiles, leaving only the one beside Xiao Hua standing. His overwhelming prowess was on full display, leaving the Players in absolute shock and disbelief.
Seeing this, Xiao Hua quickly snapped out of her daze and went to finish the Butcherer within a minute.
Yuan deactivated Dragon Awakening afterward and approached the Players with a nonchalant look on his face as he casually stepped on the corpses in his path, stopping only a few steps away from Xiong Lu.
"Now that all of your Exiles are gone, what are you going to do?" Yuan asked.
Xiong Lu didn"t know how to react and subconsciously smiled in a nervous manner.
"You f.u.c.king monster…" he uttered in a trembling voice.
"If you have nothing else to say, I"ll end this right now."
Xiong Lu gritted his teeth and bellowed, "You might wield power in this world, but don"t forget who truly holds authority and influence in the real world! You"re just a mere orphan without any substantial support. I can crush you and everyone around you like an ant whenever I please!"
Yuan smiled at his threat and said, "You can"t defeat me in this world, so you"re going to fight me outside of Cultivation Online next? Of course, I don"t mind, but don"t forget…"
The smile on Yuan"s face suddenly disappeared, and his expression turned grim, "You won"t die if I kill you in this world, and you will at most lose your ability to cultivate. However, if you decide to fight me on the other side, I can"t guarantee that you"ll still be alive afterward."
Xiong Lu"s expression darkened after hearing his words.
