Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Chapter 176 Wind Thunder Starts to Show Its Power

"How do you want to die for harming my brother?"

Xiao Yi's gaze was icy as he looked at Zhan Bitao and the others.

He had sensed the presence of the group earlier when the Golden Crown Black Eagle arrived. At the time, he was digesting the First-turn Wind Thunder Elixir, healing his body from the erosion of the gang winds and thunder.

He couldn't move hastily.

He hadn't expected Little Lin to nearly encounter a fatal accident, and his rage was uncontrollable.

Liu Mubai frowned and looked at Xiao Yi with a sneer on his face, scoffing, "I wondered who it was, turns out it's just a mere Golden Core Realm Peak. Boy, I see your Body Refinement Technique is not weak, just hand over that technique and the serpent-like magical beast, and I can leave you a whole corpse."

Xiao Yi sighed, "Leave me a whole corpse? I'm afraid you can't afford to do so!"

"Hmm?"

Liu Mubai let out a cold laugh, seeing Xiao Yi at just the peak of Golden Core Realm, he was not worth his attention at all, he turned to Wu Lun and said, "Cut off his limbs!"

"Rest assured, Your Highness!"

Wu Lun smiled confidently, striding towards Xiao Yi like a dragon stalking a tiger.

In his footsteps.

Each step was firm and powerful, showing his mastery in leg techniques.

His leg muscles tensed in an instant, as tough as if they were cast from gold and iron. With a ferocious push against the ground, a resounding boom filled the air and dust flew from the ground as he suddenly leaped into the air. In a flash, he appeared before Xiao Yi, and as he spun in the air, two white whips flew from his hands.

These whips were intertwined with chains and were incredibly sturdy.

With two clanking sounds, they wrapped around Xiao Yi's hands.

Liu Mubai laughed derisively, looking at Zhan Bitao by his side, "I thought he was some kind of expert, but it turns out he's just a silver-spearhead that looks good without substance. Once bound by Wu Lun's bloodthirsty white satin, even an ordinary warrior at the Tao Tribulation Realm would struggle to break free! After Wu Lun severs his limbs, we'll use severe torture to extract the Body Refining Techniques from him!"

"Congratulations to Your Highness for acquiring a set of Body Refining Techniques!" Zhan Bitao said with a smile.

Xiao Yi's cultivation was merely at the Golden Elixir Realm Peak.

He had not yet stepped into the Tao Tribulation Realm.

In their eyes, he was no different from an ant.

"Certainly, congratulations are in order, only..."

Liu Mubai glanced at the Golden Crown Black Eagle lying in a pool of blood, shaking his head with regret, "This Golden Crown Black Eagle was a gift from my mother, and now it has died here, truly a pity!"

"Your Highness, that little silver snake is much stronger than the Golden Crown Black Eagle. I believe the Queen Mother will also like it!" Zhan Bitao said in a heavy voice.

The queen of the Great Jin Kingdom was a rare Beast Tamer.

Many formidable magical beasts of the Great Jin Kingdom were personally tamed by her.

Her greatest hobby was collecting powerful magical beasts with pure bloodlines and extremely rare mutated magical beasts.

The two were talking when suddenly a harsh crackling sound came from ahead. The men looked at each other and both laughed, "Wu Lun doesn't hold back, does he? That sounded like a crippling fracture!"

However...

When they followed the sound to look, both were momentarily stunned.

Xiao Yi still appeared easy and carefree, standing with his hands behind his back.

But Wu Lun's limbs were broken, and like a flagpole, he was stuck into the ground, half his body buried in the earth, blood spurting from every orifice, his face pale with horror and despair as he shouted towards them, "Save me... Your Highness, save me..."

"Wu Lun?"

Liu Mubai looked on in astonishment.

Zhan Bitao also showed a surprised expression, "What happened? How did he break free from the bloodthirsty white satin?"

That bloodthirsty white satin was a genuine Yuan weapon, exceptionally tough, and not easily broken even by warriors at the Calamity Realm in a short time.

What exactly had happened?

"Your Highness, save me..." Wu Lun bellowed, his face covered in blood.

Liu Mubai's complexion alternated between pale and flushed as he looked at Zhan Bitao, his face distorted with ferocity, and he growled, "Kill him, kill him for me!"

"Yes!"

Zhan Bitao slapped his hand on the hilt of his sword; with a piercing sound of metal slicing through air, the longsword he cradled shot out of its sheath, becoming a silver streak heading forward. Zhan Bitao tapped the ground with his foot, skimming swiftly across the surface like a swallow, grabbing the sword hilt and slashing a sword arc in follow-through, "Diagonal Moon!"

Swish!

The silver arc, like a diagonal moon, swept close to the ground.

Swish, swish, swish!

Wherever the sword arc passed, the ground was torn apart, and the air itself was cleaved open, forming walls of force on either side of the sword edge.

Xiao Yi reached out a hand, spread his fingers, and grasped toward the sword arc.

"You think you can catch my sword with your flesh and blood? That's delusional wishful thinkin—" Zhan Bitao's fierce and confident expression froze on his face.

The sharp sword light could not advance an inch further in Xiao Yi's hand.

"That's all!"

Xiao Yi closed his hand.

Crack!

The sword arc shattered, scattering a sky full of sword light.

"A sword without a trace!"

Zhan Bitao, after all, was a battle-hardened warrior. Shock quickly gave way to composure, as he gripped his longsword with both hands, his figure turning into a phantom.

Whoosh!

His figure suddenly vanished from the spot.

By the time he reemerged,

he stood behind Xiao Yi.

The two stood back to back.

Zhan Bitao slowly raised his longsword in front of him and gently stroked the blade, a proud look on his face, "With this sword of mine, my strikes are always met with blood. Until now, no one of my realm has ever avoided it. Take pride in dying by this sword!"

As he spoke,

Zhan Bitao intended to sheathe his longsword!

However...

There suddenly came a crisp crack from the longsword, followed by a spreading crunching sound.

Apart from a section of the tip that had entered the sheath, the rest of the blade shattered to pieces.

Turning into fragments on the ground.

Zhan Bitao: "..."

His body jolted as if struck by lightning, before freezing in place, disbelievingly staring at the fragments on the ground, his throat moving up and down.

Gulp!

Zhan Bitao forcefully swallowed his saliva, stiffly turning to look at Xiao Yi, "You-you-you aren't dead?"

"Indeed, your sword strike was remarkable!"

Xiao Yi snapped back to reality, touched his neck, finding a white line of a sword scratch there.

The speed of the strike had indeed been extremely fast.

Even Xiao Yi had been grazed slightly, and for any ordinary fighter even a slight touch would have been enough to slit their throat.

Xiao Yi relied on the power of his Wind Thunder Holy Body to protect his throat at the crucial moment, leaving only a sword scratch.

The fifth-grade Yuan weapon, however, was shattered by the power of Wind Thunder.

That's what led to this scene.

"No-no way, my sword has never failed..." Xhan Bitao's eyebrows twitched violently, his face full of shock.

Xiao Yi looked up at him and said indifferently, "You did not miss, but you just didn't break through my defense. As it happens, my Body Refining Technique is newly completed, so I'll use you to practice."

Boom!

Xiao Yi suddenly dove forward, the wild force from his body blasting the ground apart.

A cloud of dust billowed behind him.

His iron fist was already in sight.

"Damn it!"

Zhan Bitao crossed his arms in front of him and suddenly, his whole body shook, with a terrifying power of Wind Thunder coursing through him, paralyzing his body in an instant.

The terrible force spread throughout his body.

Zhan Bitao was sent flying more than fifty meters away, plowing through everything in his path.

Boom!

Zhan Bitao's whole body became embedded in the rock wall, blood covering all his orifices.

Xiao Yi shook his arm, the Wind Thunder power fading away from his fist, "Worthy of the Wind Thunder Holy Body, being this powerful even in the first-turn realm!"

Xiao Yi withdrew his fist and turned back to look at a stunned Liu Mubai.

Thud!

Liu Mubai's legs gave out, and he knelt on the ground, his face full of fear and trepidation, "Spare me, young hero, spare my life. Here's a billion in silver notes as compensation, please let me live..."

Whether it was the common folk or the high and mighty emperors and generals,

when faced with death, most are the same.

Xiao Yi gave him a cold glance, casually taking the billion silver notes and said indifferently, "Today I'll spare your life. Remember to be more careful with your eyes in the future!"

"Yes, yes, Mubai will keep it in mind!" Liu Mubai was earnestly fearful.

Xiao Yi snorted and took off into the sky.

Long after Xiao Yi had left, Liu Mubai finally stood up, his body drenched in sweat. He glanced at the dumbstruck Wulun, steeled his heart, and with a ferocious face walked towards Wulun.

Wulun trembled and struggled frantically, "Your Highness, please don't kill me... I swear I won't speak of today's events, please don't kill me..."

"Only the dead can keep secrets!"

Liu Mubai smashed Wulun's skull with a palm strike, then approached Zhan Bitao, finding that Zhan was knocked unconscious, and heaved a sigh of relief. He pried him from the rock wall, fed him Healing Pills, and after a while Zhan Bitao came to, his face full of pain, "Your Highness, I failed my duty and couldn't protect you..."

"Zhan, you exaggerate. This man is beyond you and me, it's not your fault," Liu Mubai consoled him.

Zhan Bitao managed a bitter smile, "Your Highness, now that both my hands are shattered, I won't be able to wield a sword for some time. Are we still heading to Qingyun Kingdom?"

"Why wouldn't we go?"

Liu Mubai's eyes were filled with ferocity, "We can't afford to provoke that young man, but what's Xiao Yi to us? I have the top-quality Golden Healing Elixir that can restore fifty percent of your injuries. Even if you can't wield a sword, Zhan, you should still be able to capture him. Besides, if it weren't for Xiao Yi, we wouldn't have come to this godforsaken place and ended up like this. I will make Xiao Yi pay dearly..."
