Chapter 792 - This Generation Is Useless (2/2)
Yi Tuan’s figure flickered momentarily, as if in disbelief. Although Shao Xuan could not see his face in this form, he could guess Yi Tuan’s expression.
That white light had been the source of the flame beast’s energy, its life force concentrated in a bone. Since the source had just been destroyed, then it no longer existed.
At the same time, within the courtyard of Yi Residence, a piece of bone placed frontmost on the ground before Yi Tuan shattered.
Amidst the pin drop silence, the sound of the shattered bone was oddly startling. Everyone standing around looked at it.
A middle-aged man nearest to them widened his eyes so much they almost fell out of their sockets. He stared at the shattered bone.
“It shattered… How could it shatter?!” A large bead of sweat dripped down his temple.
It meant the bone was now useless. In the Yi family’s words, this piece of bone was now truly dead. There was no more life force within.
While he had already expected this, the shattering had happened too soon. He felt even worse.
Every bone chip used by Yi Tuan came from a powerful fearsome beast. The fact that they were still here today meant that the bone came from a very mighty beast with strong life force! Yet now it had been destroyed- turning into crumbs and powder so suddenly without warning.
How long has it been?!
This is bad! – this was what everyone thought.
Within the infinite illusory space.
Yi Xiang stopped for a moment after destroying the beast, scanning the crowd. “This generation… is useless.”
His tone was flat and emotionless. No one knew what he felt.
Other enemies might give off cold arrogance but Yi Xiang was different- an eerie calm. They could not tell what insanity hid behind the wall of calmness.
It was the first time he spoke too. In layman terms: he was calling Yi Tuan and his people a bunch of useless idiots!
This remark included all three elders and the entire Yi family, a tight slap across their faces.
To face the disapproval of a senior clan member, also a traitor, was an insulting matter. Yi Tuan was utterly humiliated but had to admit exasperatedly that the test had left them speechless.
When Yi Xiang finished, he turned his head towards Shao Xuan. Although there was no face, Shao Xuan felt his piercing glare going right through his heart and brain. He felt completely seen.
Shao Xuan: “…”
Why are you looking at me?! Just carry on with your fight!
Shao Xuan was ready to run the moment anything felt wrong. This was the Yi family’s turf and he would be at a disadvantage. Fighting them would be a bad idea, especially Yi Xiang, who was currently an unknown variable. Shao Xuan would retreat immediately if they attacked. He was not a Yi family member, he was not restrained by family pride in the face of Yi Xiang.
Luckily, Yi Xiang did not keep staring at Shao Xuan. After a look, he turned to Yi Tuan and the crowd again without a word and took another step forward. He continued walking mechanically like a machine- same pace, same steps.
Shao Xuan felt as if Yi Xiang was a ticking time-bomb, his legs being the hands on the clock. When the clock ticked to its last second, there would be a destructive, terrifying explosion.
