189 An unforeseen even (1/2)
Shi Chang Xiao had already decided that he'd flee once he had gotten his hands on the Xuan Core. His cultivation level had already reached the peak of Spirit Xuan realm several years ago, but there hadn't been any progress ever since. However, he could attack the next bottleneck with the help of this Xuan Core, and could then reach new and insurmountable heights!
Shi Chang Xiao was confident that he would become capable of waging and winning a battle against Mo Wen Tian after he had succeeded in expanding his Xuan Qi further, and was sure that he could even challenge Li Jue Tian thereafter, which meant that he would rise up in the list of the 'Eight Great Masters'!
If he was successful in defeating Li Jue Tian, then his name would be spoken in the same breath as Yun Bei Chen!
He'd be at the peak of the world!
Even the Shen Ci Empire would benefit from this, and would become the overlord of the Xuan Xuan continent! After all, the strongest man alive, Shi Chang Xiao would belong to the Shen Ci Empire!
Shi Chang Xiao couldn't control his excitement as these thoughts gushed about in his head, so much so that he had even started to thank the Solitary Eagle for allowing him to seize this opportunity!
The Three Elders of the Silver Blizzard City were flatly unable to understand the reason behind the Solitary Eagle's lack of action at the moment, but knew that they simply couldn't allow Shi Chang Xiao to succeed. Therefore, the three of them joined hands once again, and rallied to attack Shi Chang Xiao!
However, Shi Chang Xiao was so close to success at the moment that he completely ignored their advance, and focused his attention on getting his hands on the Xuan Core first! The three Elders of the Silver Blizzard City had been refraining from using their Qi fields to contest against Shi Chang Xiao for the fear of sustaining injuries, but that fear was nothing compared to the terror that Shi Chang Xiao would reek in case he succeeded in capturing this Xuan Core!
The situation however, had already gotten out of hand now...
Jun Mo Xie stared at the proceeding helplessly; even though the Yin and Yang Escape law was beyond anyone's strangest imagination, and even though the Solitary Eagle and Shi Chang Xiao were unable to detect his presence as a result, but even though his silhouette was invisible, his body was real. If he rashly rushed into Shi Chang Xiao's Qi field, and something went wrong then he'd end up in a significant amount of danger; after all, his strength was much weaker in comparison!
[Aren't those two weird looking guys going to do anything?] Jun Mo Xie was rather angry at the moment, and had already started cursing inwardly. In fact, Jun Mo Xie had even forgotten that those two strange looking men weren't under his control…..
[Should I use the Hongjun Pagoda's burst as a last resort?] The Young Master Jun couldn't help wondering; [If things get out of control then I'll use it as a last resort! ]
However, another unexpected turn of events startled everyone again...
”That Xuan Core belongs to me!” a loud voice rang!
Coincidentally this loud voice's sound coincided with a bolt of thunder; however, the booming sound of this voice actually managed to suppress the sound of the thunder!
The powerful and sonorous voice rang in everyone's ears, and seeped all the way down to the bottom of their souls!
Two black colored figures emerged from their hiding spot at speeds surpassing that of thunder strikes; one of the two men was in humanly big and burly! In fact, his body was so huge that even Dugu Wudi's stature seemed humble in from of him!
He smashed his way forward and past the three Elders of the Silver Blizzard City, and then landing straight in front of Fei Meng Chen and the Solitary Eagle, and started punching them wildly.
The other man floated through the air swiftly and towards Shi Chang Xiao; comparing his body's stealth to smoke would have been an understatement as he casually extended his arm and grabbed the Xuan Core right from under Shi Chang Xiao's nose. Meanwhile, his other hand firmly stretched out to confront the angered Shi Chang Xiao's desperate attack, and solidly collided with Shi Chang Xiao's palm!
”Bang” their collision gave rise to a loud noise, and Shi Chang Xiao was sent staggering back in the air, unable to control his decreasing altitude; the black colored man was already sent out somersaulting through the air, creating a marvelous air show, but then his body suddenly changed its direction in the most bizarre of ways, and he starting speeding away with the Xuan Core!
”Got it, let's go!”
Jun Mo Xie's mind was thrown in a state of complete shock all of a sudden, and he immediately started pushing his Qi into the Hongjun Pagoda to incite the Pagoda into full force rotations in the hope of using its energy to regain control over the situation.
Since Jun Mo Xie had deployed the Pagoda into action under the cover of the Yin Yang Escape Law's stealth, the Solitary Eagle and Shi Chang Xiao took no notice of it, but the body of that black colored man who was bolting away with the Xuan Core immediately trembled, and he suddenly turned around. His sparkling eyes started searching for the source of this momentum, clearly reflecting the desires of his heart; however, his speed of escape still didn't reduce.
Even the other black colored man's body trembled at the instant when the Hongjun Pagoda was set into motion, and he too started looking around in all directions.
That big and burly man was engaged in combat against five Spirit Xuan experts at the moment, but he was making no attempt to dodge their attacks. In fact, he was readily exchanging blows with them, kicking them back for every kick, and punching them back for every punch he received. His body had turned into a punching bag for the five Spirit Xuan Experts, and all five of them punched and kicked him several times in quick succession, forcing the man to cover his stomach with his hands for protection as he screamed twice to relieve himself of his physical pain.
