"Hehe, those are confident words. You're not even the Guardians Guild's young guild master yet, and you're already so cocky. You will probably become even smugger after becoming the young guild master," said Di Clan's Eunuch Cai with a peculiar tone of voice.
"The youngsters nowadays are all too arrogant," remarked Nangong Shangbing with a flat tone.
Tan Xinji of the Divine Fist Sect remained silent, but the chill in his eyes could cause one to shiver.
"Come and die," said Xiang Shaoyun as he swept his gaze over the Nine Revolutions Realm experts with derision.
"What an arrogant kid. This eunuch shall teach you a lesson," said Eunuch Cai, the first to lose his patience. He assumed the orchid gesture with his fingers and pointed, releasing a beam toward Xiang Shaoyun.
Orchid Fingers!
His attack was incredibly fast. It reached Xiang Shaoyun at almost the same instant Eunuch Cai moved. It appeared Xiang Shaoyun couldn't dodge; the beam struck him.
Just as everyone was waiting to see Xiang Shaoyun's body explode into chunks of flesh, he appeared above Eunuch Cai before anyone knew it. "I'll stomp you to death, accursed eunuch."
Abruptly, a foot dropped down from the sky. It carried an alarming strength, causing space itself to sink down when the foot reached Eunuch Cai's head. By the time Eunuch Cai realized what was happening, he could no longer move his body. His head was instantly crushed.
Tan Xinji and Nangong Shangbing reacted speedily. Earlier, they had been caught by surprise as they did not expect Xiang Shaoyun to be so strong and fast. The two attacked together, not giving Xiang Shaoyun the chance to press on, or Eunuch Cai would be dead for sure.
Nine Divine Transformative Fist!
Tan Xinji threw his fist out. The single punch seemed to contain countless transformations, transforming from a roaring dragonsnake to a clinking metallic weapon, to a roaring river, and so on.
As a Three Revolutions expert, Tan Xinji was the strongest of the newcomers. He was also an old monster who had lived for an unknown number of years. His combat strength was deep and unfathomable.
Initially, he was too proud to mount a sneak attack alongside Nangong Shangbing. But he could feel a sense of danger from Xiang Shaoyun. If he did nothing, he might also suffer later. His name was Xinji, which meant scheming, so he had always acted in accordance with his judgment. His judgment had never failed him before.
At the same time, Nangong Shangbing swung his sword. With one slash, the world could be pacified. It was a simple swing, yet it was powerful enough to cleave the sky and obliterate the earth. Boundless sword intent wrought havoc around them.
The two attacks forced Xiang Yangzhan and Yu Caidie to retreat as far away as they could. When some stray shockwaves reached them, an unseen power appeared before them and protected them from all harm.
As for the Di Sovereign and Yu Clan members, they had Yu Grand Ancestor's protection. Even so, they still had unsightly expressions because Xiang Shaoyun's strength had grown far beyond their expectation. He wasn't even 100 years old! He truly had unrivaled talent in cultivation. If he was allowed to continue growing, he would probably become the second Venerable Yuan Shi.
"We must kill him!" shouted Di Sovereign in agitation. His heart was filled with apprehension after witnessing Xiang Shaoyun's strength.
Yu Second Ancestor and Yu Third Ancestor thought the same. Their palms were sweating from their anxiousness. Xiang Shaoyun surprised them more by showcasing even more strength. As he faced the two attacks, nine-colored energy rippled out of his body and turned into a wall, fully blocking both attacks.
The Primal Inception Wall had undergone a qualitative change; the layers of protection seemed to be solid objects rather than intangible energy. Its defensive prowess was freakishly strong, and not even Tan Xinji's punch and Nangong Shangbing's sword could damage it.
Xiang Shaoyun took the opportunity to crush Eunuch Cai's body. Eunuch Cai's soul flew out in fear. He wanted to flee, but Xiang Shaoyun's aura was too powerful, rendering escape impossible.
"S-spare me, I'm willing to ser—" pleaded Eunuch Cai.
"Accursed eunuch, you're not even qualified to be my slave," declared Xiang Shaoyun mercilessly. With another stomp, Eunuch Cai's soul was destroyed.
Just like that, a One Revolution super expert perished before their eyes. Tan Xinji and Nangong Shangbing no longer held back. They both took out their trump cards. If they couldn't even break through Xiang Shaoyun's defense, how could they even dream of taking him down?
"Are you done? Time for both of you to go to the afterlife as well," said Xiang Shaoyun. The Primal Inception Wall suddenly spun and unleashed a massive backlash of energy toward the two attackers.
The Primal Inception Wall contained not only the primal chaos profundity. It was also powered by the yin yang profundity. This move of redirecting an attack back to the attacker was in accordance with the dao of yin and yang. The backlash contained not only the might of their attacks but also Xiang Shaoyun's very own primal inception energy. Thus, the two were unable to stop it.
"Why is this little bastard so strong?" both Tan Xinji and Nangong Shangbing exclaimed in alarm.
"In my previous life, I suffered greatly from your clans. In this life, both your clans shall stop existing." Xiang Shaoyun delivered his judgment as though he was the ruler of the underworld.
He then immediately threw his punch out. That was a punch carrying the prowess of the simplified great dao. Xiang Shaoyun had comprehended the undefeatable fist his master cultivated. There was a saying that by keeping calm and valiantly advancing, one could break through all obstacles. This punch was a demonstration of that principle.
Rumble! Rumble!
The fist advanced with the might of a star, crushing the constantly transforming fist and the boundless sword intent. One dreadful crack after another appeared in the air. The spatial currents had barely leaked out of these spatial cracks before they were erased by the advancing punch.
It was as though someone had punched through reality itself. Even those observing the battle from far away paled in fright. A power so destructive was something even a God stood no chance against.
After numerous shockwaves, two sorry figures were seen flying away. They were none other than Tan Xinji and Nangong Shangbing. The two did not even dare to resume their battle with Xiang Shaoyun. They immediately turned tail and fled.
They knew very well that this was their last chance to flee.
Alas, Xiang Shaoyun had decided not to spare them. Instead of giving chase, he commanded indifferently, "Get them."
Three figures appeared noiselessly, and three different energies streaked toward the escaping duo. When Tan Xinji and Nangong Shangbing sensed the three terrifying auras, they despaired.
