Chapter 798 - : Slashed (1/2)
The air turned frigid, and the pressure increased.
The crowd stared at Elder Zheng, who was descending with a powerful attack from the air. They waited with a deep sense of trepidation and almost forgot to breathe.
“Arrogant jerk, go to hell!”
Elder Zheng roared in a terrifying voice before he sent the shimmering sphere filled with his spiritual energy flashing toward Xiao Luo, who stood his ground awaiting the attack.
WHOOSH!
The powerful sphere of spiritual energy zoomed toward its target like a bolt of light without stirring the air. For the crowd gathered on the ground watching, the strike made their hair stand on ends, as in the next instant, the powerful ball of light struck Xiao Luo.
KABOOM!
The explosion was deafening. A destructive wave of energy issued from the blast. The sky disappeared from sight as the air swirled violently across the field and cracks suddenly appeared in the ground. Thunders peals accompanied the fierce gale that formed and everything around them suddenly to turn gray at that moment.
The disciples kept retreating further from the scene in abject fear. But the energy unleashed only got stronger, and the winds shrieked like a fierce dragon. The blast of rippling energy smashed across the area like tidal waves, wreaking havoc like a hurricane. Everyone was frozen in shock and fear.
“Is this how destructive a Martial Emperor can be?” Hu Qingsong muttered. The corners of his eyes were twitching, and he shivered as he stared at the palm attack.
“It is such a powerful attack. I am afraid Brother Xiao…”
Luo Jinshi’s face looked concerned. The attack was so powerful that even the ground had collapsed. He was afraid that Xiao Luo could not escape the destructive force.
Gradually, the destructive energy dissipated. It was not unexpected to find an enormous crater with a diameter of about thirty feet in the ground. All eyes opened wide when the crowd saw the figure still standing in its center. They drew in their breaths and gasped in shock.
“What? How is it possible?”
“He is still in one piece after taking the dreadful attack from Elder Zheng!”
“Gosh, who on earth is he? At what level is he?”
“It is impossible. How could this have happened?”
“Is… Is this man a monster?”
The crowd was shocked beyond belief.
“The bastard… what… what is it with him?” Zheng Feihan mumbled as he shivered. Like everyone else, he was astonished.
Chen Junbin could not speak as his body began trembling uncontrollably.
Hu Qingsong, Luo Jinshi, and Ai Linda were equally shocked. There was indeed a crater in the ground, but in the center where Xiao Luo stood, the earth remained intact. With his hands behind the back, Xiao Luo stood there with Ghost. He looked calm, unhurried, and relaxed.
“Well…”
The other Elders of the academy exchanged looks. They saw the surprise in each other’s eyes. Elder Zheng intentionally restricted the range of the explosion to safeguard the academy. But he exerted the strength of Martial Emperor in his strike. However, Xiao Luo was unhurt. How was it possible? They continued to stare at Xiao Luo, who was standing at the center of the crater. They found it hard to reconcile what they saw—there was something exceptionally odd with Xiao Luo.
“Who the hell are you?” shouted Elder Zheng at Xiao Luo as he hovered in the air. His eyes were bulging with exasperation and looked like they were going to explode anytime.
A smile lifted the corners of Xiao Luo’s mouth. “It does not matter who I am. It is now my turn—it is all that matters now.”
Without warning, he gripped his right hand, and a giant hand appeared from nowhere. It came swatting at Elder Zheng.
One could compare the monstrous hand to the hand of Buddha, and Elder Zheng was smacked down to the ground immediately. He fell from the sky like a cannonball and created a big hole where he crashed.
Suddenly, Xiao Luo recalled what had happened to him in the Danhui Sect, and his instinct to kill showed in his eyes.
“Now, I want you to die!”
As his voice rang out, Xiao Luo unsheathed his Dragon Saber. With no hesitation, he slashed at Elder Zheng as the Martial Emperor was trying to get to his feet in the crater.
