Chapter 446 (2/2)

The only reason he had been creating so many troubles for Xiang Shaoyun was because he believed Xiang Shaoyun was a weakling he could crush anytime he wished. When he saw that Xiang Shaoyun had a combat prowess comparable to his, he started regretting his past actions.

After all, Xiang Shaoyun was still a fourth-stage Skysoar Realm cultivator. After a breakthrough or two, wouldn't he be able to kill even Emperors? This realization alarmed Su Jun.

Huo Xudong was the only person smiling with joy. He was the only person who had been trying to befriend Xiang Shaoyun since the beginning, but even this display of prowess had exceeded his expectations. He knew that a person picked by the Seven Villains would not be weak, but Xiang Shaoyun's performance was truly heaven-defying.

Ugly Gambler is really worthy of his reputation. His eye for talent is something few can compare with, thought Huo Xudong with admiration. The only reason he had been trying to befriend Xiang Shaoyun was because of his confidence in Ugly Gambler's choice. To his surprise, he had made the correct decision.

Having a comrade-in-arms like this in the Devil Domain would only benefit him. n.o.body noticed that a slight trace of joy was also on Tang Longfei's face, looking like he was very satisfied with Xiang Shaoyun's performance.

At this time, the victor of the battle had finally been decided. The energy explosions settled, and two figures were sent flying backward covered in blood.

First, everyone looked at Xiang Shaoyun and saw that his clothes had turned into rags. Wounds deep enough to show his bones were all over his body, and he looked like he had just bathed in blood. He seemed like he was in a terrible shape.

His aura also seemed extremely weak. He most likely only had 10 percent of his combat prowess left right now. Even so, he was still able to remain hovering in the air. This proved that he had successfully survived Qian Xia'ao's attack.

Everyone then looked at Qian Xia'ao. His clothes had also been reduced to rags, revealing the exquisite inner armor he was wearing. A crack could be seen on the armor's midsection, and blood was spurting out of it. He was currently trying to stop more blood from pouring out to no avail.

In the observers' perspective, from the wounds both combatants had, Qian Xia'ao had only been slashed once while Xiang Shaoyun had been stabbed numerous times. From this, Xiang Shaoyun was most certainly the one to have suffered more in the battle.

Yet Xiang Shaoyun looked at Qian Xia'ao and said, ”You lose.”

His voice wasn't loud, but it still hit everyone there like a thunderclap, shocking them greatly.

Qian Xia'ao bowed slightly and mustered a reply with great difficulty, ”I...I lose...”

After saying that, he started to fly back toward the fort, his body swaying along the way. He could no longer face Yu Ziyi, nor could he face the other geniuses. His defeat had been so thorough he wasn't a tiny bit unwilling to acknowledge it.

In fact, during the critical moment, he had sensed Xiang Shaoyun withdrawing 10 percent of the attack's power. Otherwise, that slash would have cut him into two. One could say that Xiang Shaoyun had spared him. If he still acted unreasonably and refused to acknowledge his defeat, he would be insulting his own ident.i.ty as a martial cultivator.

Everyone stared in daze at Qian Xia'ao's departure. It lasted until Xiang Shaoyun's voice broke the silence, ”Di Tong, Su Jun, both of you want to get rid of me, right? This is the perfect chance for you. If you miss it, you won't have another opportunity like this.”
