Chapter 813 - Bring it on (1/2)

SCREECH!

Everyone could hear the frightful sound of the Divine Bird screeching. It flapped its huge wings and dived toward the ring. So violent was the gust of wind from its wings, the Baiyue Nation citizens gathered there found their bodies being forced to the side.

A pair of scarlet eyes shone with a cold light, and its two enormous claws were terrifying weapons, flashing like swords. It headed straight for Xiao Luo.

“I’m in a hurry, so I’ll finish you with a single punch!” Xiao Luo said.

After saying that, Xiao Luo channeled a vast amount of energy to his fist, and a tremendous power built up. The Divine Bird was streaking toward him and suddenly sensed danger. It instinctively reduced its speed in caution.

Xiao Luo didn’t even bother to think and sent his punch forward…

KABOOM!

A thunderous sound resounded across the sky. The power force that was unleashed distorted the air and a mighty wave of pressure spread across the surroundings. This turbulence forced the Baiyue Nation citizens backward, causing them to stagger back, unable to withstand it. Their hearts thumped in fear and even Grand Master, up in the spectator’s grandstand, was no exception.

The Divine Bird let out a miserable wail and soared up into the sky with its immense body, disappearing into the clouds. After a while, it reappeared and fell out of the sky, crashing into a mountain in the distance with a loud boom. That mountain shook and crumbled into a small mound as the ground trembled violently. The Divine Bird struggled briefly before it stopped moving.

The sky rained golden feathers. They all came from that Divine Bird!

Xiao Luo stood resolutely in the ring. It was as if his body was nailed firmly to the floor with an iron stake. At that moment, he emanated a formidable aura, like a heavenly sovereign who had descended into this world. He looked high and mighty.

The Baiyue Nation citizens stared at him with their eyes and mouths wide open. With just one punch, this man defeated Baiyue Nation’s Divine Bird. How was that possible? No one could believe what they saw, and it was as if they were dreaming.

“My god, he knocked out our Baiyue Nation’s Divine Bird with one punch!” a Baiyue Nation citizen shrieked out in fear.

It took but a single panicked scream to send the entire arena into chaos. Everyone stared at Xiao Luo in abject fear, mumbling to themselves how unbelievable that man in the ring was.

Grand Master stared at Xiao Luo in shock. Defeating the Divine Bird with one punch was nothing like what she had expected. She found it hard to believe that this jerk, only at the level of a Martial Master, had such explosive power. But she was clear of one thing, and it was the fact that she had underestimated Xiao Luo’s skills.

“He’s so strong!”

Funing was shocked at first, then amazed. To defeat the Divine Bird meant that Xiao Luo’s ability was not beneath that of a Martial Guru. It might seem like Grand Master Mother might not even pose any threat to him at all.

“It’s just a simple test… Sit down, all of you, please sit down!”

Duck Emperor coughed a little. He made his presence felt by addressing the crowd of Baiyue Nation citizens.

Ghost glanced at the fat, heavy-set officer who was so shocked that her mouth was agape. “See, I told you I’m not daydreaming.”

The heavy-set officer stared at Xiao Luo in terror. She wasn’t paying any attention to Ghost at all. In the beginning, she thought that Xiao Luo was merely at the cultivation level of a Martial Emperor, but looking at it now, Xiao Luo was definitely above that of a Martial Emperor. Martial Guru? Or a Martial Venerable? But he looked very young, so how was it possible for him to have such a high and deep cultivation level?

Xiao Luo turned around and took a step forward as he looked into the grandstand.

“Humph!”

His body sent out an invisible force that rippled through the surroundings. The phoenix feathers falling from the sky vanished instantly and everyone gasped in shock.

With his eyes fixed icily on Grand Master Mother, he said, “What’s the third test?”

“Hiss…”
