Chapter 32 – Shangguan Xi Hong (2/2)
“Despicable? Are you, a little Fourth Grade Celestial, actually qualified to say I’m despicable? You’re courting death!” With an explosive shout, Shangguan Xi Hong’s single palm condensed a rich yellow internal energy, launching a palm strike through the air. The yellow internal energy came out like surging waves, directly aiming for the old man.
*Bang!* An extremely strong palm strike hit the chest of the old man. From the impact of the attack, the old man’s body flew out backwards landing in the grass, blood spraying out from his mouth.
“Strong!” This was the first impression Lei Yu got. Was this the person in charge of all matters in Martial Sect, in charge of the entire military of Tenglong country, the master of the Shangguan family, Shangguan Xi Hong? This was without a doubt the strength of a Sixth Order Warrior.
“You two kids back up a bit, I’d like to see why this trash of Celestial Court thinks he is qualified to boast in front of my Martial Sect.” Shangguan Xi Hong waved his hand implying to Lei Yu and Nuo Hu to back up. This sense of awe-inspiring dominating appearance made Lei Yu and Nuo Hu slightly startled.
The old man on the ground struggled to get up and the two youngsters hurriedly approached to support his arms. Compared to dying, how much worth was the demonic beast? Even if he had gotten the spiritual bead of longevity, what use was it here? In front of a Sixth Order Warrior, wouldn’t he still instantly die with no ashes remaining? This the old man could still comprehend, “you are ruthless! We Celestial Court will not let this go so easily! We’ll leave!” While supporting the old man, the two youngsters and he quickly left the area.
Once the three left, Lei Yu coldly said: “Chief, since you were already here, why did you watch Eagle Group’s Hui Wei Tao get killed without lifting a finger?”
“What a joke!” Shangguan Xi Hong turned around and said, “as a warrior, when facing an opponent you believe you cannot overcome, you must carefully probe the situation. Are you telling me that while in Dragon Group, Nuo Yi Long and them did not teach you this?”
This was obviously treating his men as cannon fodder, it looks like everyone’s opinion was not wrong, Shangguan family members saw their own lives as more valuable compared to others.
“But…”
“There is nothing left here! Your mission has been accomplished; you can go back and report to command!” With those final words, Shangguan Xi Hong walked towards the direction of the wild beast.
It seems to be able to sense the immense strength of Shangguan Xi Hong, the wild beast within the cage of swords frantically roared and struggled. But it was useless, no matter how hard it struggled, it was unable to break out.
Both feet planted firmly on the ground, the surrounding area started shaking and waves of yellow internal energy came out from Shangguan Xi Hong. The twelve swords seemed to come alive; each of them took off from the ground into the sky, flying off into the distant. The direction was exactly where the three Celestial Court members were headed. And the internal energy sealing the wild beast disappeared without a trace.
This so called demonic Ink Beast realized its cage had been broken, so it desperately moved in the opposite direction of Shangguan Xi Hong to escape.
“Demonic beast! Where do you think you’re going?!” Once again condensing a powerful yellow internal energy on his palm, using the same technique like the one he dealt with the old man from Celestial Court, he threw a palm strike. A ferocious and powerful energy flew straight at the Ink Beast.
*Howl!* A loud sharp cry of pain, the Ink Beast instantly fell to the ground, its body thrashing around, Two of the spikes on its back was split into two due to the power of the energy, and blood kept flowing out.
Walking forward, wanting to finish off the Ink Beast with another palm strike, but at this moment, Lei Yu’s body intercepted with the speed of lightning, blocking Shangguan Xi Hong’s path.
“What are you doing? Move aside!” Shouted the angry Shangguan Xi Hong at Lei Yu.
“You can’t kill it!”
“You are not qualified to tell me what to do!” Knowing that the Ink Beast possessed a spiritual bead capable of eternal life, he only had to kill the Ink Beast and extract it, no longer needing to capture it alive.
