Chapter 606 (2/2)
Lightning Slash From the Clear Sky!
Instantly, numerous silver lightning bolts rained down. The saber energy seemed unstoppable as it split apart Li Haonan's attack and continued toward him. The attack was unleashed with saber intent, carrying an overbearing might that was even sharper than Li Haonan's attack.
Li Haonan had not imagined that Xiang Shaoyun's attack would be so dreadful. He was forced to focus on defending himself. Xiang Shaoyun did not spend more time tussling with Li Haonan. Instead, he summoned the nether prison devil puppet and pointed at a certain direction before shouting, ”Those who are here for me, show yourself. Why do you keep hiding?”
As he said that, the nether prison devil puppet shot toward the direction he was pointing and threw a powerful punch forward. The force of the punch pulverized the numerous trees in its way. A figure appeared and flew out to block the puppet's attack.
The newcomer was actually a Soul Foundation Realm cultivator, but he seemed weaker than the nether prison devil puppet, and the impact of his collision with the puppet sent him flying. Unfortunately, the nether prison devil puppet was incapable of using energy. Otherwise, the Sovereign wouldn't have withstood the punch.
”That puppet is strong. You guys go and kill that kid. I'll keep this puppet busy,” said the Sovereign as he started bombarding the puppet with attacks.
The Sovereign fought smartly. Instead of meeting the puppet force with force, he focused on keeping the puppet busy, preventing it from leaving his range of control so the others would be able to move on Xiang Shaoyun.
”We're only here for Xiang Shaoyun. Everyone else, p.i.s.s off,” a loud voice rang out.
A boundless aura surrounded Xiang Shaoyun, an aura at the level of a peak Emperor. Apart from that person, a few others appeared as well, all of them late-stage Emperors. Their combined strength was enough to put a check on the courage of Xiang Shaoyun's group.
It was at this moment that Li Haonan finally realized why Xiang Shaoyun had been in a rush to leave. It turned out Xiang Shaoyun had already realized that some enemies were coming after him. He wouldn't have suddenly proposed to leave otherwise.
At that thought, guilt flashed in his eyes, but it was soon replaced by delight. He muttered, ”Well, serves you right.”
”Let's leave,” said Li Haonan toward Shou Xie, Yan Gang, Zhong Xia, and the others. He did not believe that he would be strong enough to deal with their opponents. There was even a Soul Foundation Realm expert involved.
Yan Gang, Zhong Xia, and company left unhesitatingly. After all, they had just met Xiang Shaoyun. There was no need for them to die together with him. As for Tang Longfei and Lady Shura, they wanted to stay. However, Xiang Shaoyun spoke using voice transmission again, ”You two leave as well, or you will only distract me, making it harder for me to escape.”
The two clenched their teeth before leaving with the others. Shou Xie also received the same voice transmission. Thus, he left without delay. The only reason the attackers had even spared them was because of the Dragon Phoenix Academy.
If they really killed so many disciples at once, the academy would do all they could to vent their anger. Although they weren't Dragon Phoenix Academy members, the people who had sent them on the mission were members of the academy. They couldn't cause their employers trouble.
”Send him on his way,” coldly commanded the peak Emperor. At his command, one of them, a seventh-stage Emperor, attacked Xiang Shaoyun. Even though Xiang Shaoyun had freakish talent, it would be hard for him to escape the seventh-stage Emperor.
