Chapter 865: Threat from a Consolidation Stage
Xiaoyao Hou died tragically, unable to withstand even one strike from Lu Xuan!
The Geng Metal Sword was far sharper than any other sword; it even split Xiaoyao Hou’s inner armor in half.
He perished within a split second!
Everyone was immediately startled. They were dumbfounded, unable to believe their eyes.
“Xiaoyao Hou is dead? How could the famous Xiaoyao Hou died so easily?”
Many people couldn’t believe it. Since the moment they were born, most of them have heard of Xiaoyao Hou’s name.
Since they were born, Xiaoyao Hou had remained a top figure in the world for hundreds of years.
Now, however, everything had changed.
The hierarchy of power altered within a fraction of a second!
The disciples of the Holy Nun Gate were left with their mouths agape. None of them could believe it, either. They knew that if the word were to spread, the entire world might boil over.
Although Xiaoyao Hou was not among the Five Consolidations, he was still highly influential; in that regard, he might’ve been on the same level as the Five Consolidations.
His every move would still incite great impacts in the world!
Now, however, he perished at the Holy Nun Gate. If the Holy Nun Gate was not guarded by Lin Ziyi, any regular sect would have needed to face criticism from all over the world. They would’ve even been overthrown as a result.
This was how influential Xiaoyao Hou was. Otherwise, he would not have caused Lu Xuan such trouble during his past life. Xiaoyao Hou’s made him a target to countless people.
It was not until Lu Xuan stepped into the Consolidation Realm and killed Xiaoyao Hou that the hostile situation of the world improved.
Enraged, Li Shou approached and bellow, “How dare you kill him! Didn’t you hear what I said earlier?!”
Xiaoyao Hou was defeated too quickly, so much so that he was not even given any time to prepare himself.
Xiaoyao Hou believed that even if he could not match up to Lu Xuan, he could at least cross 300 blows with Lu Xuan as long as he had both Azure Real Body and Xiaoyao movement arts.
When he was at the Three Flower Realm, even at the pinnacle of power, what he could accomplish was still limited.
Nobody expected Xiaoyao to have been completely powerless against Lu Xuan before being taken down within three blows from the latter.
During the battle, Lu Xuan even held back so that Xiaoyao Hou had the chance to display the greatest of his power. Even so, he still ended up getting killed by Lu Xuan.
How utterly disappointing!
Li Shou was so angry that he could even feel his soul on the verge of leaving his body. He had never encountered a person bold enough to disobey him.
Lu Xuan was even more rebellious than he thought.
“I think you are courting death!”
Li Shou flew into a rage as he exclaimed, “I guess you have a death wish, then!”
Li Shou immediately attacked. A ginormous palm struck down from the air with the sky full of flames. Like a millstone of extinction, it fell right towards Lu Xuan.
That kind of horrible feeling would bear one down with the weight of Mount Taishan. Any regular Three Flower Realm master would have already had their minds crushed crumbled by such immense pressure.
A cold ray of light flickered in Lu Xuan’s eyes. Aware of Li Shou’s uprising, he had long been prepared; he amplified his power to its limit.
He was ready to take out the Chaos Heaven Stabilizer Bell at any time. As long as the Chaos Heaven Stabilizer Bell was present, he could freeze time, travel through space, and maybe even escape the hands of a Consolidation Realm.
However, a stretch of shiny silk pierced through the sky like a comet and ruptured the enormous hand.
The crowd watched the massive hand scatter into sparks of light and vanish without a trace.
Then, there was a muffled hum. Everyone glanced over only to see Li Shou’s palm that was pierced, constantly and steadily oozing out blood.
His attack just now was halted. Li Shou was looking at Lin Ziyi next to him, his eyes full of anger. Evidently, his attack just now was stopped by Lin Ziyi.
Li Shou bellowed, “Lin Ziyi, what do you think you’re doing? Why are you protecting Lu Xuan?”
Lin Ziyi nullifying his attack immediately after she made a move made him feel like a disgrace.
Lin Ziyi sneered and said, “So what if I’m protecting him? This is a fair fight, and Xiaoyao Hou died. What else can he do if he’s inferior in the first place?”
Within Lin Ziyi’s eyes, glistened three portions of smile and seven portions of mockery. Lin Ziyi’s eyes glistened, 30% out of delight and the remaining 70% in contempt.
She also suffered the same thing that Xiaoyao Hou did.
Back in the day, she was hunted so intensely that she almost died. None of that would’ve changed anything just because she had successfully entered the Consolidation Realm.
She could overlook the fact that she was not able to find Xiaoyao Hou in the past because she was too lazy to scour the Tempest Ocean Realm to find him.
This time, however, Xiaoyao Hao had the audacity to show up before her. Did he think that he was allowed to do whatever he wanted as long as he had the Xuanhuo Sect to support him?
Even if Lu Xuan did not kill him today, she would have done it herself.
For someone of her status, Xiaoyao Hou was no longer significant to her.
However, Xiaoyao Hou’s very existence was like swallowing a fly; it was disgusting whether he was dead or alive.
Refusing to back down even one bit, Lin Ziyi shouted, “You wish to commit murder outside the gates of the Holy Nun Gate? Li Shou, is it true that you wish to ascend the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun?!”
Lin Shou’s face turned green. He wished to fall out with her right away, but he knew just how powerful Lin Ziyi in front of him was.
Decades ago, she was already on the same level as him. Now that a few decades passed, he almost did not improve at all. On the other hand, she managed to improve by leaps and bounds.
Even the Sect Leader of the Xuanhuo Sect once secretly said that with time, Lin Ziyi would be able to rival against him.
This was an astonishing evaluation, that even he did not think of earlier.
It was precisely because he knew too much that even he had to hear her.
Li Shou forcibly held back his anger as he said, “This is just an aboriginal world, Lady Lin. I’d appreciate it if you could show some respect and not interfere in this matter!”
Lin Ziyi said faintly with a sense of stubbornness, “Show you some respect? Do you deserve any of that at this point? Even if your Sect Leader is here, I will still do whatever I want. What can you possibly do about it?”
Lin Ziyi then went on to bluntly saying, “Today, I have decided to protect this person. It’s either you fight with me, and I’ll let you kill him if you win. Otherwise, don’t even try to bring up this matter or say that I’m not giving you any respect!”
“You…! Very well, Lin Ziyi! I shall see how long you can remain this arrogant once the sectmaster has returned!”
Li Shou covertly glared at Lin Ziyi, then looked at Lu Xuan again.
“Lu Xuan, cherish your final moments. Stay in the Holy Nun Gate forever if possible!”
After he finished speaking, Li Shou morphed into a streak of light and swooped away.
“Pay no attention to him. He’s just a fox masquerading as a tiger!”
Lin Ziyi sneered and said, “When I just entered the Path, he gave me a lot of trouble. If it weren’t for the guy behind him, I would have killed him a long ago!”
