Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 868: Taking Action

Husbands and wives are merely birds in the same forest, when disaster strikes, they will fly separately. How much more so with Chu Yuan’s group of five?

Those four flower guardians previously wished to elevate Chu Yuan to the heavens, but now?

Each of them only cares about themselves, even pushing others behind them without hesitation.

As long as I survive, what does anything else matter?

Ling Xiao Qi uttered a mocking laugh, drawing his sword to kill.

With a slash, fresh blood splattered, and someone was already cut in half.

The others, seeing this, were even more terrified and ran faster underfoot.

They didn’t hesitate to act against each other, making others block behind them, buying themselves a chance for survival.

Slash, slash, slash, slash, Ling Xiao Qi’s sword rose and fell, killing one with each strike, swiftly and neatly. In five strokes, Chu Yuan’s group of five were all wiped out cleanly.

Shi Hao shook his head. If Chu Yuan’s group of five had cooperated sincerely from the start, they could have held off Ling Xiao Qi for a while. That way, Fire Silkworm Palace’s reinforcements might have arrived.

Now?

At most five breaths, and all five were exterminated.

Haha, their deaths were not regrettable.

Ling Xiao Qi withdrew his sword, tilting his head at Shi Hao. "You sure have courage, not having fled!"

Shi Hao smiled faintly. "Should I be afraid of you?"

Ling Xiao Qi nodded. "You should fear me, because if I want to kill you, one sword strike would be enough."

"Oh, I don’t believe it." Shi Hao shook his head. "Go ahead and try."

Ling Xiao Qi looked at Shi Hao with interest. "You’re the first who didn’t run upon hearing my name! Whether you’re reckless or truly brave, I’ve decided to give you a chance."

"Oh?" Shi Hao raised his eyebrows.

"Shout three times ’Fire Silkworm Palace will be defeated’, and I’ll spare your life," Ling Xiao Qi said blandly.

Shi Hao shook his head. "Not interested."

A character like Ling Xiao Qi, Shi Hao could crush him with one hand.

"Well said!" A voice praised, as another person approached, wearing a fiery red dress, with an extremely alluring figure, voluptuous and proud, with fiery red lips and a stunningly beautiful face.

"Jiang Xinyue!" Ling Xiao Qi raised an eyebrow, showing a mocking smile. "Sorry, I’ve just killed five of your Fire Silkworm Palace disciples!"

"No matter!" said the red-dressed woman Jiang Xinyue calmly, "I’ve also killed seven of your Ice Wheel Hall disciples, so we actually came out ahead."

Ling Xiao Qi’s hand gripping the sword hilt tightened, his gaze turned to Shi Hao. "Looks like I must kill this person."

"You cannot kill!" Jiang Xinyue stated, as if narrating a fact, yet also emphasizing.

"Really?" Ling Xiao Qi laughed, swinging his sword towards Shi Hao.

Ding!

Jiang Xinyue wielded a Gentle Sword, her hands trembled, and the sword body, like silk and snakes, instantly straightened, intercepting Ling Xiao Qi’s strike.

Ling Xiao Qi chuckled, unfazed, and continued attacking.

Clang, clang, clang, he continuously struck at Shi Hao, while Jiang Xinyue continuously blocked, using Shi Hao as a trading tool, they fought zealously.

However, Jiang Xinyue was on the defensive, inevitably quite passive, following Ling Xiao Qi’s movements, as he attacked, she defused, after over a hundred moves, she grew impatient.

If Shi Hao dies, then so be it, merely an ordinary disciple of a first-level palace, completely insignificant.

She was merely impulsive at the moment to protect Shi Hao, but getting caught in such a predicament wasn’t worth it.

Alright!

Swish, Ling Xiao Qi slashed another sword at Shi Hao, but Jiang Xinyue ignored it, directly retaliating against Ling Xiao Qi.

"Oh?" Ling Xiao Qi exclaimed in surprise, yet not too shocked, as he understood this woman, indifferent and merciless, unwilling to tie her hands.

Having already swung his sword, he had no intention of retracting it, casually slaughtering Shi Hao before focusing on Jiang Xinyue.

Thus, his right hand’s sword continued thrusting toward Shi Hao, while the other hand enveloped the Elemental Power, welcoming Jiang Xinyue.

This strike would cause him some harm, but it didn’t matter.

Slash!

The sword struck, yet the feeling was strange, but Ling Xiao Qi needed to focus on Jiang Xinyue, his eyes naturally fixed on her, with no intention of turning back to look.

If something’s off, then so be it, he could kill again later.

However, he was shocked to see Jiang Xinyue’s astonishment, staring at his back as though witnessing the most incredulous thing under the sky.

What trick?

Trying to trick me into turning my head?

"You are waving swords in front of me, have you received my permission?" Shi Hao’s voice rang out smoothly.

Ling Xiao Qi turned his head in horror, seeing his sword clutched in Shi Hao’s hand!

No wonder the feeling was off earlier, the sensation was totally different from piercing flesh to being held.

But how could an ordinary disciple grab a sword bare-handed?

Even among the Fire Silkworm Palace’s main palace’s younger generation, only about ten individuals could achieve this, definitely not including Shi Hao.

Boom!

Ling Xiao Qi quickly reacted, striking a palm at Shi Hao.

This attack was his full force, the power of the Supplementing Divine Temple bursting forth.

Thump!

Shi Hao casually slapped back, yet Ling Xiao Qi flew out like a cannonball.

Then, Ling Xiao Qi collided with the "Soul Calming" stele.

"Ouch!" Shi Hao grinned, seeing the stele crooked, while Ling Xiao Qi was turned into meat paste.

He really didn’t intend it, nor did he expect the stele would be so fragile upon impact.

Wasn’t this a method laid by the Almighty? How could it be so brittle?

"Little Stone, mourn." Purple Gold Rat patted Shi Hao’s shoulder in comfort.

Jiang Xinyue’s face twitched, nearly going crazy.

Shi Hao was truly strong!

She shamelessly claimed to protect him, yet ended up looking like a clown!

Importantly, she didn’t protect Shi Hao to the end, eventually abandoning him.

Originally, she could have done Shi Hao a huge favor, but now?

Moreover, Shi Hao undeniably hid his power, plotting so intricately, what could he be planning?

The scheme ought to be significant.

As a witness, might she be silenced?

Without a word, she immediately turned and ran.

But dense mist appeared ahead, as she charged through, she saw Shi Hao standing right before her.

Bang!

Shi Hao struck out a palm, and Jiang Xinyue met the same end as Ling Xiao Qi, smashed into scraps.

Alone in the enemy’s stronghold, he must not show mercy, lest he invites a calamity upon himself.

He walked to the edge of the stele and peered down, seeing a dark hole below, emanating endless coldness, enough to freeze one’s soul.
