"I once said that in the face of a common enemy like the Strange Spirit, I can temporarily set aside past grievances, as long as you don't provoke first!"
The large silver Thunder Wings flapped behind him. Yun Xiao looked at the Sixth Elder of the Spirit Fighting Comrce on the city wall, whose face was sowhat livid, and let out a soft voice, causing many people to nod secretly.
The Tenglong Continent is so vast, with countless cultivators, and many of them have enmities with each other. Yet, in the face of a common enemy like the Strange Spirit, many of these internal grievances have been temporarily suppressed.
Not everyone in this world is like the Lonely Wolf Team or the Sixth Elder of the Spirit Fighting Comrce. Most people still value greater righteousness more, and Liao Qiguang's current actions undoubtedly went against this righteousness.
The mont they realized that the coarse-clothed young man was Yun Xiao, people like Duan Gen beside him knew that Liao Qiguang wanted to take personal revenge. Claims of being controlled by a Strange Spirit or deliberately trying to deceive the city gate were just nonsense.
"Yun Xiao, I think you've truly been controlled by the Strange Spirit, daring to go mad and attack ?"
But at this point, Liao Qiguang absolutely wouldn't admit to seeking personal revenge. He continued to insist that Yun Xiao was controlled by the Strange Spirit.
Besides, in Liao Qiguang's heart, even if this boy had killed several Late Stage Earth Bending Realm experts from Wuyan Palace's Thunder Sound Mountain a year ago, he might not necessarily be a match for him, the Sixth Elder of Spirit Fighting Comrce.
"If you don't provoke , I can turn a blind eye, but since you've provoked , you can only bla your bad luck!"
As the Strange Spirit army below was about to enclose, Yun Xiao wasn't going to waste ti with this old guy. He coldly spoke, and with a shake of his Thunder Wings, he instantly appeared on the city wall.
"Hmph, I don't believe a snot-nosed kid like you can create any big waves?"
At this mont, Liao Qiguang only felt that his authority was being challenged. In Spirit Fighting Comrce, he was just the Sixth Elder, with many big figures above him. But in Gushan City, he was the sole authority.
Power can be addictive, especially for a sinister person like Liao Qiguang. If Yun Xiao really ascended the city wall now, it would undoubtedly deal a huge blow to his future prestige in Gushan City.
Seeing the battle about to comnce, several people nearby retreated, making way for the battlefield. However, Duan Gen, who had stepped back, turned his eyes and instructed a subordinate next to him, who then quickly walked toward the bottom of the city wall.
In the minds of these onlookers, Liao Qiguang was a Late Stage Earth Bending Realm expert, and Yun Xiao was said to have killed Late Stage Earth Bending Realm cultivators before. Their fight would likely be a fierce dragon and tiger battle, and it would certainly take ti.
Duan Gen, known for his honesty, thought that if these two fought, the few people outside the city below would likely face more danger. For so reason, he suddenly had strange thoughts and had to prepare for both possibilities.
"Arrogant brat!"
Seeing Yun Xiao casually approaching with a slap, Liao Qiguang couldn't help but be enraged. It was blatant disdain for him, a re boy, what gave him this arrogance?
Bang!
At this mont, the overwhelming aura of a Late Stage Earth Bending Realm expert burst from Liao Qiguang, inspiring awe in many people.
At this level, each small realm was vastly different. Even those Middle Stage Earth Bending Realm experts knew they were far from being opponents.
Unfortunately for Liao Qiguang, the one he faced this ti was a demon that hadn't appeared in thousands of years on the Tenglong Continent. Even at the Middle Stage of Earth Bending Realm, Yun Xiao had already been able to kill Late Stage Earth Bending Realm experts, let alone now that he was at the Peak of Earth Bending Realm.
"Jade-Scaled Snake! Water-Covering Wolf!"
Liao Qiguang extended both hands, and two ridians Spirits soared into the sky. One was covered in scales that shimred with a jade-white glow, looking like a jade snake, unlike a living thing.
The other wolf-shaped ridian Spirit had its fur bristling, and water droplets continuously erged from its fur, appearing extrely mysterious.
"It's Elder Liao's two most skilled ridian Spirits. It seems he didn't underestimate Yun Xiao!"
Seeing this scene, Duan Gen couldn't help but feel extrely emotional, realizing that although Liao Qiguang appeared dismissive of Yun Xiao earlier, he actually took him seriously, after all, he was a demon genius who had killed Late Stage Earth Bending Realm experts before.
Both of Elder Liao's ridian Spirits had reached the Ninth Rank Interdiate, and such ridian Spirits in their lifeti would likely still challenge Late Stage Earth Bending Realm human experts.
One had to admit that the research of Spirit Fighting Comrce on ridians Spirits was indeed remarkable. Facing these two formidable ridians Spirits would undoubtedly be a headache for anyone, right?
Poof!
However, just as everyone was wondering how Yun Xiao would counter the attack of the two ridians Spirits, they saw the young man casually swing his right hand with a gentle palm, striking the Water-Covering Wolf's head with an unbelievable angle.
"Woo!"
A muffled sound ca from the wolf's mouth, followed by the entire wolf's body weakly falling from the sky, ultimately lying motionless, clearly having its brain smashed by Yun Xiao's palm.
"How?"
Such a scene left the spectators dumbfounded, especially Liao Qiguang, the owner of the Overflow Wolf ridian Spirit, who couldn't fathom it. That was a Ninth Rank Interdiate ridian Spirit, boasting incredible physical strength, yet it couldn't withstand even a single palm from that youth?
The spectators guessed correctly; Liao Qiguang indeed hadn't underestimated Yun Xiao in the slightest. Despite his loud cries, the mont Yun Xiao flew onto the city wall, Liao Qiguang already regarded him as a lifelong enemy.
Though the battle at Yanji Lake had been nearly a year ago, it remained a hot topic among the top figures of these major forces, never to be forgotten for even a day.
Particularly the top forces like Spirit Fighting Comrce and Wuyan Palace, which had enmity with Yun Xiao, considered that youth as the sect's greatest threat, destined to beco a formidable adversary one day.
Spirit Fighting Comrce was the first major force to feud with Yun Xiao, further fueled by Vice President Lu Tianrun's machinations, hence Liao Qiguang didn't hesitate to let Yun Xiao be surrounded and killed by Strange Spirits.
Who would have thought that the youth was so formidable, directly leaping onto the city wall to confront him? While Liao Qiguang was furious, he also felt a tinge of caution, knowing that the youth wouldn't act so recklessly without a trump card.
Thus, Liao Qiguang imdiately summoned his two most powerful ridian Spirits, believing that such formidable spirits could at least hold Yun Xiao off for dozens of moves.
In those few dozen moves, the Strange Spirit army below would have torn Yun Xiao's companions to pieces, causing Yun Xiao to panic over his companions' deaths, giving Liao Qiguang an opportunity.
However, all these plans were shattered by Yun Xiao's seemingly effortless palm. As fear gripped Liao Qiguang, he watched Yun Xiao's other hand slowly descend upon the remaining Jade-Scaled Snake.
"Wait a mont!"
Although the Jade-Scaled Snake was an exceptionally unique serpentine Vein Demon, having witnessed the scene where Yun Xiao killed the Overflow Wolf with one palm, Liao Qiguang dared not take such a risk and imdiately shouted.
Unfortunately, Liao Qiguang's shout didn't cause any delay in Yun Xiao's actions; his face didn't even twitch, and that hand, though appearing slow, seed to transform into the hand of Death.
"Pa!"
A peculiar sound echoed as Yun Xiao struck again, how could re Ninth Rank Interdiate Vein Demons evade it? Moreover, these weren't true Ninth Rank Interdiate Vein Demons but Liao Qiguang's ridian Spirits.
At this mont, many felt an illusion; the jade-like serpentine ridian Spirit seed unhard, but only a few sharp-eyed individuals realized the truth couldn't be otherwise.
Crack!
A soft sound followed, and sharp-eyed individuals like Duan Gen clearly saw a distinct fissure crawling up the Jade-Scaled Snake's head where Yun Xiao struck.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Crash!
In almost two breaths, the fissures on the Jade-Scaled Snake's body spread increasingly, finally shattering with a crash, as shards of jade scattered like a shattered porcelain doll.
The two Ninth Rank Interdiate ridian Spirits were each slain in rely two strikes, providing an unparalleled shock to the spectators.
Even though a Vein Demon's combat power diminishes sowhat after becoming a ridian Spirit, they were still the ridian Spirits of Liao Qiguang, a Late Stage Earth Bending Realm expert. No one present could say they were undoubtedly capable of taking them on.
Yet, that coarse-clothed youth not only took them on but killed the two formidable ridian Spirits with re palms, showing a strength far differing from rumors.
Like Duan Gen and others, the news they received claid Yun Xiao had to employ countless tricks and activate his Ancestor Vein Power to succeed at Yanji Lake against several Late Stage Earth Bending Realm experts from Wuyan Palace and Zhao Family.
But now, watching Yun Xiao's casual deanor, he seed completely relaxed. At this mont, not only Duan Gen and others but even Liao Qiguang himself felt an indescribable dread rising in his heart.
"Yun Xiao, I misjudged earlier, why don't we cease this and reconcile? I'll open the city gates to let your companions in."
Seeing the situation worsening, Liao Qiguang couldn't care less about his dignity as Gushan City's power holder and spoke these words, leaving many spectators with a peculiar expression.
People like Duan Gen were well aware of Liao Qiguang's arrogance, making it evident that a youth nad Yun Xiao had already earned his caution, even making him feel a significant threat, thus contemplating compromise.
