“What powerful spirit energy.”
Just as Xiao Yun’s spirit energy shot out from his mind, Qiu Yu Chen’s eyelids jumped. “For this boy to have such powerful spirit energy, he would be quite outstanding, even within the Heaven Origin Sect. He is definitely a true genius.”
Although he felt quite surprised, Qiu Yu Chen did not panic. “Hmph, you want to use this to kill me? It’s a pity that it’s not enough,” Qiu Yu Chen coldly laughed, as if he was familiar with spirit energy.
Before he had even finished speaking, his hands moved as a powerful wave of Essence Qi erupted forth, blocking the front of his body like a shield and stopping the spirit energy. As the spirit energy crashed into the barrier, it only rippled.
“It was blocked?” Xiao Yun frowned.
“Haha, let’s see what other tricks you have. If you don’t have any more, then prepare to die,” Qiu Yu Chen laughed, “I haven’t experienced the feeling of killing a genius in a long time. Even within the Heaven Origin Sect, someone like you would be rare!”
“I’ll have to go all out!” Xiao Yun tightly frowned. Now, he knew what his weakness was.
Although spirit energy was powerful, True Essence realm cultivators had acute senses and would sense its dangerous aura immediately. Adding on the fact that they were proficient in controlling their Essence Qi, they could easily defend his spirit energy attacks. It would be too difficult for Xiao Yun to attain victory like this.
However, Xiao Yun did not give up. His expression darkened as he circulated all of the spirit energy within his body towards the Heaven-Devouring Tower. He wanted to see the inscriptions on the wall of the tower. For some reason, he felt that the things written on there were extremely important.
Perhaps they would be able to reverse this situation.
Xiao Yun’s spirit energy came to the first layer of the Heaven-Devouring Tower, and was immediately shaken by the powerful restrictive force. Under the ma.s.sive impact, his body uncontrollably trembled.
“No! I must break open this seal.” Xiao Yun gritted his teeth as he condensed his spirit energy and sent it shooting to the seal again. He didn’t know why, but he felt that the seal was quite extraordinary. After breaking through it, he felt like he would be able to control the Heaven-Devouring Tower.
Boom!!
Suddenly, the seal trembled and was broken through by Xiao Yun’s spirit energy.
The inscriptions seemed to squirm and move around, as if they had come alive. Following this, the inscriptions started to flow into his mind, and from the fusing of such information, he felt that his connection with the Heaven-Devouring Tower had become tighter.
With his powerful spirit, Xiao Yun almost instantly processed all of the information.
“Spirit-Destroying Spear?” An important name surfaced in his mind, leading Xiao Yun to feel ecstatic.
“So there was a spiritual divine weapon on the Heaven-Devouring Tower…” Xiao Yun immediately gathered his spirit energy into the first layer of the Heaven-Devouring Tower, and found a dark spear flashing with strange runes.
This spear seemed to be formed from runes, giving it an incredibly wondrous appearance.
“Haha, since you don’t have any strength left, then go die,” Qiu Yu Chen smirked as he walked over.
“Young master Qiu, please stay your hand.” Not too far away, Duke Yan was rushing over. He gave off a powerful aura.
“This old fellow?” Qiu Yu Chen frowned, feeling a sense of danger from Duke Yan’s aura.
“It’s too late for you to save him.” Qiu Yu Chen did not hesitate and shot out his hand, forming a gigantic dark blue palm which descended towards Xiao Yun. If he could kill Xiao Yun, the situation would be stabilised and the Duke would no longer dare to act against him.
After all, he was a disciple of the Heaven Origin Sect. Who would dare to offend the Heaven Origin Sect over a dead person?
“You…” Seeing that Qiu Yu Chen wanted to kill Xiao Yun without hesitation, Duke Yan tightly frowned. He had just reached the stage, and would be too late to stop him. Duke Yan’s heart sank and he felt a great sense pity.
This was a genius among geniuses, and it was a pity for him to die like this.
“Xiao Yun!”
“Big brother Xiao Yun!”
“Yun’Er!”
Seeing the giant hand descending towards Xiao Yun, countless cries sounded out. Yan Shi Fei had a devastated look on her face, and her eyes were beginning to water up.
The Xiao family’s old patriarch was completely furious, and almost went crazy.
“Your grandson’s also going to die!” the Fang family’s old patriarch savagely laughed.
“What a pity!” Countless onlookers sighed. Everyone knew that Xiao Yun had been injured and was lying on the ground. How could he defend against Qiu Yu Chen’s attack?
“Haha, Xiao Yun’s doomed,” Fang Wei and the others from the Fang family said with a grin.
“Once Xiao Yun dies, what future does the Xiao family have? Everyone, hurry and help this elderly man destroy the Xiao family!” the Fang family’s old patriarch cried out, wanting the experts from the various families to help him kill Xiao Hai and the others.
At this moment, Xiao Yun’s eyes suddenly flew open as a light shone within them that made Qiu Yu Chen’s heart tremble.
“Go die!” Xiao Yun’s eyes gleamed as he roared, “Spirit-Destroying Spear, kill him for me!”
Buzz!
Suddenly, a vortex of runes of light appeared between his eyebrows as a gateway to h.e.l.l appeared. A horrifying aura seeped out, causing everyone’s souls to tremble.
“What is that?” A look of terror appeared on Qiu Yu Chen’s face and he felt extremely uneasy.
Before Qiu Yu Chen could react, a dark spear shot out from within the vortex.
This was a short spear, at about 30 centimetres long. It shone with a dark light, in which countless runes flashed and gave off a terrifying aura. Anyone would feel dread upon feeling the might of this Spirit-Destroying Spear, and the runes on it had a profound feel to them, as well as a murderous air.
Qiu Yu Chen’s gigantic palm was about to land on Xiao Yun.
Bang!
The spear shot out like a meteor and stabbed through the gigantic palm formed by the Essence Qi, then continued on towards Qiu Yu Chen’s forehead. The monstrous aura it gave off caused the youth’s heart to tremble.
Qiu Yu Chen’s pupils contracted as he saw the dark spear pierce through the air and into his head.
In the next instant, the dark light flashed and under the powerful might of the spear, Qiu Yu Chen completely lost his senses.
Buzz!
The runes flashed as the Spirit-Destroying Spear bore into Qiu Yu Chen’s head.
“Arghhhh!!!”
After the Spirit-Destroying Spear embedded itself in his head, Qiu Yu Chen gave a piercing shriek.
His cry was incredibly sharp and was filled with terror. Just as it sounded out, it was abruptly cut off.
Following this, the Spirit-Destroying Spear turned into a dark light and returned to Xiao Yun’s mind, where under the control of his spirit energy, it was sent back to the Heaven-Devouring Tower. By now, Qiu Yu Chen had stopped breathing, and his body lay face-up on the ground.
Following Qiu Yu Chen’s demise, the berserk Essence Qi on the stage settled down.
“I finally succeeded!” Looking at the fallen Qiu Yu Chen, Xiao Yun let out a breath and narrowed his eyes. He lay on the ground, started to recover his aura and replenished his spirit energy.
Just then, he had broken through the seal on the Heaven-Devouring Tower and had obtained the Spirit-Destroying Spear technique. However, this had exhausted all of his spirit energy. He was completely spent, and his mind was incredibly weak.
Using the Spirit-Destroying Spear required boundless spirit energy, which was not something that Xiao Yun could currently use continuously.
However, getting rid of this powerful enemy was enough.
After Qiu Yu Chen fell to the ground, all of the cultivators stared in shock.
“What’s going on?” Countless people stared at the stage as they muttered amongst themsleves. Just then, Qiu Yu Chen was about to land a killing blow on Xiao Yun, so why was he the one who had fallen?
What’s more, he looked like he wasn’t breathing!
“Qiu Yu Chen’s dead?” By now, Duke Yan had made it onto the stage. His gaze became serious as he looked over in shock. He could feel Qiu Yu Chen’s killing intent – how could an Innate realm cultivator block such an attack?
However, with his senses, he could confirm that Qiu Yu Chen was indeed dead.
There were 2 people lying on the stage. Qiu Yu Chen was already dead, but the other youth was shallowly breathing, and was evidently still alive. This scene completely exceeded everyone’s expectations, and the elders of the various families were completely dumbfounded.
The entire arena fell silent, and everyone stared with looks of disbelief towards the stage.
“Xiao Yun, are you alright?” Duke Yan asked as he walked towards the youth who was still breathing.
“Don’t worry, I won’t die.” Xiao Yun had finally recovered enough strength to struggle to his feet. He had expended too much spirit energy, but he hadn’t been injured too badly, so he wasn’t in a dangerous condition.
“Thank goodness, thank goodness.” Duke Yan looked at the youth, feeling incredibly excited, but that was all he could say. He was at a loss for words – a youth at the Innate realm had directly killed a True Essence realm expert.
“Thank you, Duke Yan, for acting.” After standing up, Xiao Yun looked around, then cupped his fists towards Duke Yan.
“I was too late.” Duke Yan waved his hand, indicating that he didn’t deserve the thanks.
“This Qiu Yu Chen was a member of the Heaven Origin Sect, so Uncle Yan had some reservations about acting against him. I hope you can understand,” Duke Yan said with a smile.
“I know,” Xiao Yun replied calmly. He naturally understood the crux of the matter.
“What just happened? Is there something wrong with my eyes?” Seeing Xiao Yun stand up and talk with Duke Yan, the crowd was sent into a frenzy as countless people rubbed their eyes. They felt that this scene was simply impossible, and felt as if they were dreaming.
“Is this Xiao Yun even human?”
“Even Qiu Yu Chen died under his hands. This youth is simply heaven-defying!”
“Once this Xiao Yun grows, he’ll be able to shock the heavens and shake the earth. He’s definitely someone who ordinary people will compare themselves to.” The entire arena was full of discussions, and the cultivators from the various large families felt as if their hearts were going to jump out of their chests.
An Innate realm youth had instantly killed a True Essence realm expert. What did this mean?
It wasn’t difficult to imagine just how terrifying the youth would be once he stepped into the True Essence realm.
“Luckily we didn’t attack just then!” The elders of some of the families felt incredibly relieved. If they had attacked and offended the Xiao family, they would not have been able to escape this youth’s revenge, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
“Haha, Fang family’s old ghost, my grandson’s good fortune fills the heavens, and is destined to be extraordinary in future. You think your Fang family could kill him?” Seeing that his grandson hadn’t died, the Xiao family’s old patriarch loudly laughed and was able to relax.
“Time for you to die.”
Dragon Snake Form!
The Xiao family’s old patriarch’s attacks became more and more vigorous, the blood within his body boiling. He gave off a sensation that he had become one with heaven and earth.
Roar!!
A loud roar sounded out, and it appeared as if a real dragon and snake had appeared by the Xiao family’s old patriarch.
