Chapter 998: Western Desert"s Xiang Clan
Neither Gui Mochou nor Feng Xiaosha felt anything until the very end. Xiang Shaoyun"s attack was too clean, and they were killed before they could feel anything. Xiang Shaoyun had long found Gui Mochou and Feng Xiaosha eyesores.
They had been pus.h.i.+ng his patience again and again, and they had acted against him many times. He had long listed them as people he must kill. With them serving themselves on a silver platter, he could finally get his revenge.
Feng Huosuo and Shadowflash raged.
"b.a.s.t.a.r.d! I"ll kill you!" shouted Shadowflash with a sinister look in his eyes.
Feng Huosuo also roared, "You little b.a.s.t.a.r.d! I"ll tear you apart!"
"Give it a try. I won"t mind getting rid of you two as well," said the wolf guard as he locked onto the two with his aura.
The wolf guard was incredibly strong, and neither Feng Huosuo nor Shadowflash was his opponent. That was something that had been proven back in the Dragon Phoenix Academy.
Shadowflash glared at the wolf guard and said, "Wolf guard, Xiang Shaoyun has just killed the disciples of our academy!"
"Hehe, you mean those shameless disciples? They deserved it," said the wolf guard as he started clapping. He then looked at the other elders and said, "There have always been casualties in the compet.i.tion of the four academies. This is normal. Anyone stepping on the stage should always be prepared to die. Are you going to kill the winner just because your disciples were killed on the stage?"
The other elders nodded in agreement. All of them knew the compet.i.tion"s rules well. Shadowflash and Feng Huosuo had been too shameless, and the elders disdained a.s.sociating with such people. Dragon Phoenix Academy"s reputation would probably drop greatly due to this compet.i.tion.
Feng Huosuo and Shadowflash came to a realization that with the wolf guard here, they wouldn"t be able to touch Xiang Shaoyun. Thus, they had no choice but to suppress their hatred for now.
Xiang Shaoyun"s clone returned to stand beside his main body. Standing there, he roared, "Are there any other challengers?"
The voice rang loud and clear, seemingly capable of stabbing straight into the hearts of everyone. The surrounding disciples blanked out for a while before they recovered. A clamor broke out among them.
"Why is there another Xiang Shaoyun here? Are they twins? That"s cheating, right?"
"That"s right. That must be Xiang Shaoyun"s elder brother. He is so terrifyingly strong, so he"s definitely a Sovereign. He is cheating!"
"Are you stupid? That"s his soul clone. That fellow is too crazy. His clone is actually stronger than his main body. He is so strong it feels unfair."
"That doesn"t seem possible. Since when were Dragon Ascension Realm cultivators capable of forming soul clones? I thought only Saints could do something like that."
Everyone had a hard time believing it, and it was very hard to accept that Xiang Shaoyun really had a soul clone. Only a small number of them were sure that Xiang Shaoyun was really using his soul clone.
People like Dugu Qiubai, Devil Concubine, Little Overlord, and the others were finally fully convinced of their defeat. They were each a genius among geniuses, with a powerful physique and the most ancient of inheritances. They couldn"t accept being defeated by an unknown kid, but when they found that Xiang Shaoyun had actually formed a soul clone that was stronger than his main body, they had no choice but to accept their defeat.
In fact, if Xiang Shaoyun had decided to use his soul clone earlier, they would have been defeated much faster. Not even Dugu Qiubai would be an exception. After all, the so-called physiques and inheritances were nothing before absolute strength.
Not one of the remaining disciples dared to challenge Xiang Shaoyun. After all, he had made it clear that he would kill, and he had already killed two to prove his point. He was not joking around. Those who provoked him would only suffer.
At this time, the True Martial Academy elder finally announced, "I hereby declare that Xiang Shaoyun is the champion of the compet.i.tion."
Those close to Xiang Shaoyun started cheering.
"I knew my boss was the best," shouted Xia Liuhui as he ran over, as though he was afraid that others wouldn"t know that Xiang Shaoyun was his boss.
Ouyang Chuanqi, Han Chenfei, Tang Longfei, and Xuan Yuantian also walked over and congratulated Xiang Shaoyun.
"Truly worthy of being called the overlord," praised Ouyang Chuanqi as he raised his thumb.
"Um. I remember the match I owe you. We can proceed with that later," said Xiang Shaoyun"s clone.
Ouyang Chuanqi"s face instantly collapsed as he said, "We"ll talk about that after I enter the Soul Foundation Realm."
It would be a joke for him to challenge Xiang Shaoyun with his current strength, and it would be no different from asking for a beating. He wasn"t that stupid.
"Overlord, is this really your clone?" Han Chenfei asked curiously.
"Yes. My main body is still healing," Xiang Shaoyun replied. "We"ll catch up later. I still have something else to do. Guard my main body on my behalf."
The clone then flew toward Xiang Chenxi, the Little Overlord. When the Little Overlord and his people saw Xiang Shaoyun coming over, they got nervous.
The Little Overlord met Xiang Shaoyun"s gaze and asked, "I surrendered, so what else do you want?"
"Hand over my brother"s celestial horn!" said Xiang Shaoyun.
"What celestial horn? I don"t know what you"re talking about," replied the Little Overlord.
Money rushed over and said, "I found a horn in the secret s.p.a.ce, and you were the one who stole it from me."
"Hear that? Hand it over, or we can continue sparring," said Xiang Shaoyun nonchalantly.
The Little Overlord was infuriated. If anyone else spoke to him like this, he would have attacked immediately. But facing Xiang Shaoyun, he did not have the courage.
"Take it," said the Little Overlord as he returned the horn without hesitation.
Money hurriedly caught the horn like it was the most precious treasure, and his eyes were filled with excitement. As for the Little Overlord, he was feeling rather gloomy. He did not know what the horn was good for. He had researched it several times, but he hadn"t been able to stimulate any sort of response. Ultimately, he concluded that the horn had probably been destroyed and was probably only good for its toughness.
Thus, he couldn"t be bothered with squabbling over the horn. Looking at Xiang Shaoyun, he asked, "Which Xiang Clan are you from?"
When Xiang Shaoyun first appeared, he had felt that Xiang Shaoyun greatly resembled the statue of an ancestor they had been wors.h.i.+pping. But when Xiang Shaoyun had subsequently displayed his mastery over the other energies, he dispelled that notion. But after hearing Xiang Shaoyun"s name and learning that Xiang Shaoyun actually used the power of lightning as well, he started suspecting that Xiang Shaoyun was related to his clan again.
"Western Desert"s Xiang Clan," the clone replied indifferently before returning inside the main body.
And that caused the Little Overlord to be completely stunned. He was from the Western Desert"s Xiang Clan as well! However, he had never seen Xiang Shaoyun before, so he was sure Xiang Shaoyun was not part of his clan. He could also hear a clear provocative tone in Xiang Shaoyun"s voice.
