Chapter 556: Learning Moment (2/2)

This was the first time someone had so openly challenged him like this. Hao Xuan couldn't help but become a little angry. He had been trying his best to keep his cool but that seemed useless now.

”So you won't move without a fight, right?” he asked again.

The mask didn't cover the lower part of his face, only from the nose above.

They could all see his lips arch upward into half a smile, but it was pretty obvious to tell he was losing his temper.

”If you don't mind,” the man replied in the same disdainful tone as before and unleashed his cultivation in its entirety.

An invisible pressure fell on Hao Xuan's shoulders. The other individuals all did the same, suppressing Hao Xuan before he could even begin to fight.

Seeing the undisguised contempt towards him, Hao Xuan nodded with gritted teeth. A searing pain shot through Hao Xuan's temple, making him almost puke but he held back.

”So be it. I should really make this a learning moment for you nice folks then, huh?”

He waved his hand.

”The ones that are holding a weapon, cut off their arms and legs. Those that aren't, just break their arms so the next time they see me, they show a little more caution and respect,” Hao Xuan ordered.

The cultivators in front of him were taken aback, to say the least. They swiftly put up their guards and looked around but there was no one.

The man let out a forced laugh.

”Is that some sort of a scare tact-” he started speaking but was cut off mid-sentence by a beastly voice.

”Yes, master...”

All pressure being exerted from these more than ten Spirit Realm cultivators popped like a balloon.

Following the direction of the voice, they all looked up into the sky and saw a green figure floating some ten meters or so above Hao Xuan. A huge tail swayed back and forth in the night breeze.

”Th...The-”

Someone tried to speak up but it was too late.

The figure had already vanished.

A cold glint flashed before Hao Xuan's eyes as a tinge of red covered his pupils.

”AAAH!”

”NO PLEASE!”

Gut-wrenching screams came from all around him. Warm blood splattered across Hao Xuan's white shirt, ruining it once again. He closed his eyes and listened intently.

Ripping and tearing, cutting and crunching, the sound of panicked footsteps as they tried to flee in different directions followed by pained moans and screams for mercy when the Scorpion King caught up to them, all of them reached his ears clearly.

Hao Xuan could feel the Scorpion King's unbridled bloodlust. Their soul connection transferred more than what he initially thought possible.

He could very clearly tell how elated the Scorpion King was as he preyed on this much weaker fleshy beings. And he could also feel the absolute dread and helplessness of the cultivators that were all so full of pride just a moment ago.

With a single word, he could make it all stop. But he chose not to.

And it was an intoxicating and powerful feeling.

For some reason standing amidst all this violence and brutality, the Chaos Qi that had been stagnant for along started circulating on its own.
