The newcomer was none other than Xiang Shaoyun, who had just returned from the Devil Domain. The moment he left the Devil Domain, he sensed that the three Skeletons were in bad shape. Thus, he rushed back to their headquarters.
Although the three Skeletons weren't exactly upstanding citizens, they were now under his control and were now his subordinates. How could he allow others to eliminate his subordinates? Thus, he rushed back as quickly as possible the moment he sensed what was happening. Fortunately, he had arrived just in time to prevent the full destruction of the Skeleton Gang.
Noxious Blood had not entered the Sovereign Realm for long. He had been waiting on dealing with the Skeleton Gang, as he needed some time to stabilize his cultivation base. On top of that, the rumors spread by the Ghostface Sect that they were protecting the Skeleton Gang had caused him to not dare to make any reckless moves.
In fact, even the attack today was primarily done with the intention to probe the Ghostface Sect's reaction. If the Ghostface Sect really did show themselves, he would retreat. And if they didn't, he would absorb the Skeleton Gang into his own gang. The Ghostface Sect had not appeared, but a group led by a young man had appeared instead. One of the members in the group was Meng Gansu, an elder of the Noxious Blood Gang.
Scorching Blood was able to recognize Xiang Shaoyun with one look, and he immediately pointed at him and shouted, ”You still dare to show yourself, you little b.a.s.t.a.r.d? Today, I will take your life to avenge my son!”
After saying that, Scorching Blood personally attacked Xiang Shaoyun. He cultivated the power of flame, and as he attacked, a clump of fire shot out of his weapon and flew toward Xiang Shaoyun.
”You want to harm my young master? Dream on!” Du Xuanhao roared and drew his saber. With a simple swing of the saber, the fireball was dispersed.
Moving like the wind, he charged Scorching Blood. Like Xiang Shaoyun, Du Xuanhao had also cultivated footwork intent. After over a year of training in the Devil Domain, he had finally entered the moving like the wind stage, and his speed had more than doubled.
The combination of saber intent and footwork intent was too much for Scorching Blood to deal with, and he was forced to request help from Noxious Blood. ”Great monarch, save me!”
As Scorching Blood begged for help, Noxious Blood sent a claw attack toward Du Xuanhao. It was a casual attack, and Noxious Blood believed that it was enough to kill Du Xuanhao. Alas, he was mistaken. Not only did Du Xuanhao determine the trajectory of the attack, he even destroyed the attack with a swing of his saber. The only thing the attack accomplished was forcing Du Xuanhao to take several steps backward. He was still completely unharmed.
”Is this the strength of a Sovereign? Nothing special at all,” said Du Xuanhao. He was akin to an exceptional saber, and it was time to display his outstanding combat prowess.
Noxious Blood frowned and said, ”Saber Emperor Du Xuanhao?”
”Haha, the great monarch of the Noxious Blood Gang actually knows my name? Today, allow me to have a taste at the combat prowess of a Sovereign!” said Du Xuanhao as he howled with laughter. With the human saber unity active, he charged Noxious Blood.
”You are overestimating yourself,” said Noxious Blood with a snort as he finally erupted with the true strength of a Soul Foundation Realm cultivator.
The eruption placed a ma.s.sive pressure on the very souls of the people present, causing them all to s.h.i.+ver in fear. Due to the suppression of their souls, they couldn't even move their physical bodies anymore. This was why Soul Foundation Realm cultivators were scary. Whether it be Kings or Emperors, they could rely on their presence to suppress and prevail over those with lower cultivation levels than them.
But a Soul Foundation Realm cultivator was capable of forming spiritual pressure to affect someone, suppressing their opponent's soul to plant fear in their mind before killing them with a single strike. The two were entirely different methods of suppression, with the latter being truly capable of suppressing even tens of thousands of people.
