Chapter 292 Meet your Death!
Hua Qiyue also t.i.ttered.
The Third Elder’s face was flushed red. Neither the Second Elder nor Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan had made any indication. In other words, they were hinting that he could act.
“Let me teach you, a wild boy, a lesson!” the third Elder growled. Yun Shimo gave a cold snicker. This old man at the Great Completeness of Round Sun had dared to be so arrogant before him. These intellectually disabled people were living under a rock.
“Tempest Palm!” the third Elder growled coldly. The light sword in his hand turned into anima energy. As he unleashed his palm, the anima energy turned into a ma.s.sive palm, hitting out at Yun Shimo forcefully!
Yun Shimo raised his handsome brows. Tianci watched this scene with great interest. Anyway, the thing he was most interested in now was fights.
Usually, when he had nothing to do, he would exchange moves with Caiqing and Caining for fun. Yet now, when his true strength had developed so quickly, Caining and Caiqing were no longer his matches. Those two handsome private guards had felt quite discouraged.
“A trifling skill!” Yun Shimo gave a light laugh and pointed out a finger. White light instantly streamed out like an arrow, smashing that huge palm violently into smithereens.
“Humph, how can light from a firefly compete with the moon?” the third Elder sneered conceitedly. He executed his most adept and most powerful lethal skill—Firmament Seal!
Instantly, the ceiling of the inn was swept up by a wild gale. The surrounding crowds started to gasp repeatedly.
An expert Qi Artist was, of course, someone out of the ordinary. No matter what move he executed, it would erupt with overwhelming power.
Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan watched this with a frosty face. He felt somewhat uneasy, seeing Hua Qiyue and her friends so nonchalant.
The second Elder laughed complacently. “Patriarch, this time, we will surely dispatch of this stinking lad. This is the Third Elder’s most adept skill. It can even slay someone at the medium level of Holy G.o.d!”
His words had just faded when Yun Shimo’s cold voice wafted waveringly to their ears. “Deity-slaying Finger!”
The heavy palm print, as thick as a dark cloud, had almost blocked everyone’s sights. Yet after Yun Shimo’s voice rang out, a few streaks of light pierced through the palm print, their brightness permeating everywhere. The palm print had turned totally transparent!
With a boom, the palm print turned into a cloud of white mist and then disappeared.
“Hahaha… he said that this is his most powerful move. Yet it has disappeared into a fit of mist. That’s the power for you!” An arrogant man on the tree started to laugh.
The others also started to guffaw.
After all, the Xuanyuan Family was a powerful clan which had suppressed the people in many ways. Many were unhappy with such ancient clans like the Xuanyuan Family. Most of the resources in the world were appropriated by such families.
They also put on a haughty face, looking down on commoners whom they treated as inferiors. So who would like them?
“Haha, so the Xuanyuan Family isn’t that great after all!”
“That’s right. A grand elder can’t even beat a young man!”
The crowds started to jeer insolently. Even if the Xuanyuan Family eventually won, they would not be able to locate these mockers in the crowds and kill them.
“I’ve already refrained myself from retaliating for two moves. So let’s now settle the feud between our Yun Family and your Xuanyuan Family!” Yun Shimo said coldly. He suddenly stood up, a teacup still in his hand. Then, instantaneously, he vanished!
Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan was shocked. Even as the Patriarch, he had no such powerful footwork!
“Thunderbolt Palm!” Yun Shimo’s voice rang out from behind the Third Elder.
Under the gaze of the public, Yun Shimo had effortlessly managed to a.s.sault the Third Elder!
There was a m.u.f.fled thud. When Yun Shimo’s figure reappeared in its original position, the Third Elder had been thrown off by his palm. He crashed into a big tree in the near distance!
“Third Brother!”
“Third Elder!”
Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan and his men started to yell in great shock. Although Yun Shimo was rumored to be very powerful, his true strength had far exceeded what they had imagined!
The third Elder collapsed down, vomiting blood. His body jerked a few times and then became completely motionless.
Two of the disciples dashed over to help him catch his breath. Even the Second Elder hurried over to treat his injury. When he felt the Third Elder’s pulse, fury appeared on his face. “This stinking lad… has killed Third Brother! Patriarch, you must shred Yun Shimo into a thousand pieces and avenge Third Brother’s death!”
The second Elder growled agitatedly, his bloodshot eyes full of murderous malice.
The two disciples looked at the dead Third Elder. In their eyes was not only rage but also terror!
After all, Yun Shimo was around their age, but his true power exceeded theirs by many times. It might have been by even more than 10 times. He had managed to slay a Qi Artist at the Great Completeness of Round Sun in three moves!
Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan gritted his teeth and kept on nodding. “Great, great! I didn’t expect this inconspicuous lad from the past to kill my man before my eyes! Yun Shimo, go and meet your ancestors with your parents!”
When had the Xuanyuan Family ever suffered such a loss? The Xuanyuan Family had never lost once in their battles with the other clans, seizing their resources and properties, ma.s.sacring them.
This was the reason why the Xuanyuan Family was so glorious today.
“The Xuanyuan Family’s perverse bloodl.u.s.t is behind their glory and plunder. Let me put an end to them today!” Yun Shimo stepped out. Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan did not care much for one-to-one fights. The latter waved his big hand. “Kill all the rest. Don’t leave anyone alive!”
Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan emanated overbearing might and raging, murderous malice. He terrified the other Qi Artists that they all fled.
After all, in the battle between superiors, many innocent parties would be caught in the crossfire. They had to run far away to preserve their lives.
Hua Qiyue raised her brows. Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan was almost 80. His power must be quite awesome, probably at par with Yun Shimo’s.
Neither Xuanji nor Bai Qianxue had acted. Hua Qiyue took out the Spirit-summoning Mirror from the inner lining of her robe and captured in it all the spirits of Qi Artists under the first level of Holy G.o.d!
Seeing the dazed disciples and elders rooted to the ground, Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan became enraged. “Shameless la.s.s, I will shred you into a thousand pieces later!”
Hua Qiyue gave an indifferent smile. She watched the tiny, drifting spirits in the mirror. She had not taken this mirror out for days. She saw Hua Mengshi’s face distorted as she screamed, “Hua Qiyue… Eldest Sister, I beg you to let me out. I beg of you… I can’t die, I can’t!”
“You witch! You dared to steal my spirit! Wait until the Patriarch dispatch of Yun Shimo, he will grind you into squashed meat!”
“I can’t get out! Rotten girl, let us go at once! Or you’ll pay for this!”
The spirits which had been absorbed by the mirror began to shriek with pain. But their voices were low—so low that only Hua Qiyue could hear them.
She raised her brows and nodded, putting the Spirit-summoning Mirror into a special hemp sack.
It was good to have a Spirit-summoning Mirror. She did not need to execute her Spirit Summoning Art all the time and could save herself a lot of energy.
“Boom, boom, boom—”
“Rumble, rumble, rumble—”
Yun Shimo was formally engaged in a fight with Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan. The two had already razed the inn to the ground. Hua Qiyue could only take Tianci away, retreating to one side and watching the battle calmly.
Although it was easier to kill Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan with some helpers, Yun Shimo felt that it was his own family feud. So naturally, he did not wish anyone else to be involved.
If he managed to kill Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan by himself, it would be a great honor for his family.
Xuanji and the rest had already retreated to the small pavilion by the stream. Hua Qiyue also brought Tianci there. Tianci enthusiastically pointed at the sky, rife with dust particles. “Mom, Dad… look how fast Dad is. I won’t be able to distinguish him soon! Dad’s so awesome. When I grow up, I must be as awesome as Dad!”
Hua Qiyue was completely speechless. The Tianci now was already very powerful, alright? In another four to five years, he would probably surpa.s.s her and Yun Shimo!
“Tianci, can you tell who has the upper hand?” Xuanji asked with a quiet smile.
Tianci blinked and shook his head.
The Hare on his shoulder started to chuckle. “At present, they are about even. But it’s already quite a good showing from the lad. You must know that Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan is at the Great Completeness of Holy G.o.d. He’s nearly at the Great Deity Realm.”
The others were silent. They stared fixedly at the actions before them, like the bystanders in the distance.
Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan stood there. They had exchanged 10 moves and their surroundings had all been razed to the ground. The small pavilion by the stream survived thanks to Xuanji’s protection. But one could still sense waves of tremor from the fight.
Yun Shimo’s face was expressionless and Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan seemed unhurt. Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan had wanted to slay Yun Shimo in 10 moves. He never expected that Yu Shimo, as a Qi Artist at the first level of Holy G.o.d, could exchange 10 moves with himself, at the Great Completeness of Holy G.o.d.
“Quite something. I didn’t expect my agents’ reports to be true. But a Qi Artist at the first level of Holy G.o.d can only kill a big shot at the medium level of Holy G.o.d.” Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan coldly curled up the corners of his lips. The mockery in his eyes intensified.
Yun Shimo was as indifferent as the wind. The dust before his eyes was whirled away by his moves. “I not only can kill someone at the medium level but also at the Great Completeness. If you don’t believe me, you will have to, soon.”
Seeing Yun Shimo so confident, the fury in Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan’s chest flared up repeatedly. Hua Qiyue had captured the spirits of the Second Elder and the others. He must eliminate Yun Shimo and capture Hua Qiyue alive so that he could grab her mirror and release the members of the Xuanyuan Family.
Before the two had started to fight, Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan had already shifted the bodies of his soulless clan members to 50 kilometers away.
After all, the Xuanyuan Family was renowned. Although there were many bystanders, no one would dare to lift a finger to slay these soulless elders and disciples.
At this moment, Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan’s face looked ghastly. He snorted coldly. “What an arrogant upstart. Yun Shimo, prepare to die. The members of your Yun Family will forever be my clan’s slaves. They will all be ma.s.sacred by the Xuanyuan Family.”
Yun Shimo coldly curled up the corners of his lips. “I have allowed your family to be arrogant for too long. But after this battle, your Xuanyuan Family will forever lose its halo of glory!”
After he said this, his figure whizzed and his entire body disappeared.
Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan’s body also flashed, leaving behind only a streaking shadow. “Demonic Cloud-shaker!”
Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan’s voice resounded. A large cloud of black mist emerged from his palm, rapidly enveloping the surroundings in its midst.
This kind of demonic cloud was made up of the most lethal toxic fumes. Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan had mastered many forbidden arts. This was one of his most adept.
But Yun Shimo seemed to have disappeared. The demonic clouds were dark and forbidding. No one could see where Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan and Yun Shimo were.
But Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan could still sense the presence of Yun Shimo, even the latter’s position.
Yun Shimo was standing right behind Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan, five steps away.
“Hahaha, Yun Shimo, meet your death! Demonic Clouds Strangler!”
Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan suddenly guffawed in a raving fashion. The moment his voice died away, the rest could only see these dark demonic clouds turning into countless black threads, madly gyrating. They hurtled toward Yun Shimo, aiming to strangle him.
