Chapter 280 - The Power of One (1/2)
Tap~
Huangpu Qingtian’s every step instilled dignity and nobility, neither forced nor rushed. Chu Qingcheng’s group was unnerved, taking steps back in contrast.
The pressure was so big, each of his step made them back away faster.
Drifting Flowers Edifices, Veiled Dragon Pavilion, and Sword Marquise Abode had thousands of people behind them, yet faced with but a single man, they all shirked further back. A truly laughable and ridiculous scene.
Yet to the parties involved, humor was the last thing on their minds. When faced with the head of Six Dragons and One Phoenix, Huangpu Qingtian, all they could feel was fear and dread.
You Yushan and Yan Bangui had thousands behind them as well that just stood there, watching the other faction with contempt.
In the face of Huangpu Qingtian, anyone would end up a sorry sight.
If they switched places, You Yushan’s group had no doubt in their mind they would end up the same way.
As to why the situation devolved in such a way, it all came down to Chu Qingcheng’s group’s rotten luck. Or maybe having known so little about Regent Estate, yet insisting on making an enemy out of them…
“How long are you going to shirk back?” Huangpu Qingtian stopped at some point, with a beaming and noble smile, “Hand over the Brimming Sacred Pill and I’ll let you go.”
Frowning, Chu Qingcheng gnashed her teeth in silence. Her allies clenched her fists at the naked scorn.
Handing over what the three houses found was total humiliation.
Long Xingyun muled, [It’s best we’re flexible.] And smiled, “Young master Huangpu, is this how Regent Estate’s eldest young master carries himself? You’re no different from a shameless bandit at this point. There are four Brimming Sacred Pill out there so why are you after ours in particular?”
“Ha-ha-ha, Long Xingyun, I knew you’re a smooth talker, preaching sophistry. True, Regent Estate isn’t too keen on robbing you, but did you forget? This here is the Esoteric Debate, where might makes right. Everything belongs to the strongest!”
With a snicker, Huangpu Qingtian’s eyes flashed with greed and snatched at the air, “That is why all of them will be mine. You better hand it over now, or…”
“Or what, fight?”
Xie Tianshang snapped as he shot in the air, drawing his sword and releasing such shocking energy it reached the skies. The sword energy shuddered all who looked at it, feeling as if ten thousands swords were about to pierce them.
Even Yan Bangui and You Yushan turned serious, eying him with a sigh.
[Xie Tianshang is a true sword talent.] It was their first time seeing sword energy reaching such a level.
Thinking about it, they were no match for him in a straight out fight.
Long Xingyun looked at the hovering figure stunned. [It had been what, a few days? How did he get so strong?]
And yet…
Huangpu Qingtian’s calm demeanor left Long Xingyun sighing.
[Compared to this monster, Xie Tianshang had a long way to go.]
But even so, they had to fight regardless.
Long Xingyun shot his hands forward. Energy hummed off his hands and released a powerful attack.
There was a dragon roar echo and when the energy was upon Huangpu Qingtian, it shot for the ground.
The earth beneath Huangpu Qingtian exploded as a dragon opened its maw to swallow him.
“Profound ranked martial art, Sea Upturning Dragon Palm!” Long Xingyun roared.
He didn’t finish as a loud boom splintered the huge dragon into nothingness. Huangpu Qingtian shined golden as he walked out of the attack, looking down on all creation.
Pff!
Long Xingyun coughed blood, having just been injured internally.
Xie Tianshang clutched his sword and shot for Huangpu Qingtian. The piercing light of his sword tip was as dazzling as the night’s stars.
It pulverized anything it touched and left only this outstanding light.
This was Sword Marquise Abode’s profound ranked martial art Flowing Space’s Nine Forms’ strongest attack, Extinction.
When this sword flew, everything was erased!
Abode Lord Xie Xiaofeng watched in awe and pride, his house’s strongest move being unleashed just beyond the wood National Elemental Stone.
The son had surpassed the father.
