Chapter 893 - He Is My Servan (1/2)

“Commander Zhang, What is going on? I thought I asked you to close off the area. Why are there intruders?” Hu Xiao asked in an even voice.

However, the dozen or so Golden Core Perfected Cultivators were drenched in sweat. The leader of the group was Commander Zhang and he was wearing a set of armor engulfed by flames. He stepped forward and answered, “I will stop those intruders and prevent them from disturbing your party.”

As soon as he gave an order, hundreds of cultivators wearing iron armors flew up into the sky and pressed onward.

Thinking the matter had been handled, both Hu Xiao and Fairy Violet Moon turned around and continued chatting with each other.

Those hundreds of cultivators were elite guards from the Hu Family. Each of them had reached a level higher than Connate Spirit. Worse, they could join forces to cast Battle Formations that were powerful enough to counter a Golden Core Cultivator.

However, only ten seconds later, the fire went up again. This time, it burned with more intensity and urgency.

“They’ve been defeated already?”

Hu Xiao furrowed his brow in displeasure.

Commander Zhang’s face darkened. He snorted, then ordered a cultivator wearing a golden armor to step forward. As the golden armor s.h.i.+ned brighter, he flew into the air, and darted to the distance, turning into a flash of light.

“Rest a.s.sured, my G.o.ddess. The Perfected Cultivator in golden armor is the pride of our family, Jin Minzhen. He’s at the early-stage of the tier three Golden Core, and can handle most other Perfected Cultivators.”

Even as Hu Xiao boasted about his warrior, another conflagration rose in the sky.

Hu Xiao’s smile froze.

“Even Jin Minzhen was defeated?”

The development even caught Violet Moon Fairy’s attention. She turned around and looked to the flames in curiosity. Meanwhile, the smugness in Hu Xiao’s eyes was replaced by a cold light.

“Commander Zhang, if you can’t protect our guests, I can only ask the Ancestral Patriarch to replace you with someone else.”

“Please bear with me for a moment, I will not disappoint you.”

Sweat hung on Commander Zhang’s forehead. He dropped to his knees and kowtowed to Hu Xiao to placate him. He then ordered three more Perfected Cultivators to fly in the direction of the flame.

Those three Perfected Cultivators worked as a team and their combined might could defeat a mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator. However, the fire in the sky only dimmed a brief moment before it came back again.

By then, everyone was seized by disbelief.

Hu Xiao’s face darkened even more and was awash with embarra.s.sment.

“Whoosh, whoos.h.!.+”

Five beams of flames flashed toward them with incredible speed. It wasn’t long before Hu Xiao could use his divine will to make out what was in the fire.

He registered a man on a horse-drawn Carriage. The exterior of the sedan was painted in black, and it was drawn by a fearsome looking dark horse. On the driver seat was an elder in a black robe. The scene was eerie, mysterious and dangerous.

“The elder has an unusual energy, unlike any other Golden Core Cultivators I have seen,” Violet Moon Fairy said with interest.

Hu Xiao turned around and said in a cold voice, “Humph! What is a carriage driver to the mighty Hu family? Even a royal family member would have to pay dearly for picking a fight with us.”

“Zhang Baiye, this is your last chance to redeem yourself. ”

“Yes, my lord, I will not disappoint you.”

Commander Zhang gritted his teeth as fire engulfed his body. He charged out and stopped right in front of the carriage.

His eyes glinted as the fire around him burned more intensely until the flames turned white. Nine dragons curled around the Battle Halberd in his hand, making him look like a Fire Demon.

“Who goes there? How dare you trespa.s.s the Hu family encirclement? You’re courting death!” Zhang Baiye shouted and brought the Nine Dragon Halberd to a swing.

Suddenly, the Essence Qi in the surroundings caught fire. Nine giant fire dragons shot out from the Battle Halberd, each more powerful than a Golden Core Cultivator. The joint attack of the nine dragons would be devastating.

As soon as he swung his halberd, his body flickered out of view for a fraction of second and reappeared before the carriage. It was as if he had folded s.p.a.ce.

The man in fancy outfit who had accompanied the carriage exclaimed:

“That’s the Void Dimension Battle Art! I have heard that this Divine Power is able to bend s.p.a.ce, allowing the user to break the barrier between dimensions. That man must be Perfected Cultivator Fire Drake, Zhang Baiye! He is a mid-stage Golden Core warrior, and is only half a step away from reaching the Grand Perfected Cultivator realm.”

Zhang Baiye’s power surged as the nine dragons danced in the sky. Even as people thought that Zhao Juexian was in for a long fight, Zhao Juexian stood up gently.

“Boom!”

The sun and the moon fell from the sky as the earth began to shatter.

A gush of colossal energy poured out from Zhao Juexian.

Suddenly, he transformed from a wizened chauffeur to a behemoth whose body filled up the s.p.a.ce between the sky and the earth. Behind him was an apparition of the Sky-Swallowing Python. Everyone watched as Zhao Juexian closed his fingers and landed a gentle touch on the Halberd. That was enough to wind Zhang Baiye, bending his prized weapon.
