Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Chapter 190 Submit, or Die!

In the void, sand filled the sky.

Only Xiao Yi's figure was nowhere to be seen.

Huang Bo stood suspended in the air, squinting at the drifting sand ahead, with a slight upturn at the corner of his mouth and a cold sneer, "A mere Golden Elixir Realm Peak, and yet you forced me to use my Annihilation Sandstorm, you are the first. Sigh, how lonely it is to be invincible, hahaha!"

"Invincible? Are you that confident?"

As Huang Bo was about to leave, he suddenly heard Xiao Yi's voice near his ear.

The voice was so close that it sent shivers down his spine.

"Not good!"

Huang Bo instinctively dodged to the side, but as soon as he moved, he banged his head against a wall composed of Sword Qi.

The collision broke Huang Bo's nasal bone.

Blood gushed wildly from his nostrils.

Tears streamed out uncontrollably.

He clutched his head wailing, and it took a good while before he recovered, looking around with a befuddled face.

At some point, several Qi walls, entirely condensed from Sword Qi, had appeared around him. The walls were extremely strong; he had just rammed into one of them. Rubbing his broken nose, which was now completely crooked, he clicked it back into place. Huang Bo's pupils contracted slightly, staring at Xiao Yi, "How did you break free from my Annihilation Sandstorm?"

Annihilation Sandstorm.

It was Huang Bo's Innate Divine Ability merged with the power of heaven and earth, a lethal move. With his cultivation nearly at the Seventh Layer of the Tao Tribulation Realm, even when facing someone from the Eighth Layer of the Tao Tribulation Realm, he could entrap and kill them.

That Xiao Yi managed to slip away without him realizing was truly astonishing.

Xiao Yi said indifferently, "Your move is indeed powerful, but its weakness is also very obvious. As long as one's speed is fast enough, one can leave before your sand completely seals off the area. It's not difficult."

"Impossible!"

Huang Bo angrily said, "I was watching the whole time, you were clearly surrounded by the sand..."

Xiao Yi scoffed, "Watching the whole time? Are you sure what you saw was me?"

"Hmm?"

Huang Bo was stunned. He rapidly recalled the previous moment, and his expression suddenly changed, "The one trapped was just your afterimage?"

Xiao Yi gave a mysterious smile.

When Huang Bo deployed the Annihilation Sandstorm, Xiao Yi sensed the terror of the move.

With the help of the sandstorm, he escaped the encircling sands at incredible speed, leaving only an afterimage wrapped in the dust.

But in Huang Bo's view, it appeared as if it was his real body that was trapped.

All of this seemed simple.

Yet achieving it was exceedingly difficult.

First and foremost, one needed to have an extremely fast movement technique, and additionally, a keen sense of timing was required.

Escape too early, and the afterimage would disappear before the sand had enveloped it.

Escape too late, and the sand would've formed an enclosure, preventing escape.

Huang Bo's face went from pale to flushed. He never imagined his seemingly unbeatable trump card would be directly broken through by Xiao Yi. His face twisted into a vicious expression, "No wonder Ge Zheng used up that favor to have me come kill you. You indeed are a troublesome opponent. However, do you really think this mere Sword Qi can stop me?"

Whoosh!

Huang Bo raised his arm, and countless grains of sand burst forth from his yellow robe, crashing against the Sword Qi walls around him.

Boom, boom, boom!

After several collisions,

the Sword Qi walls remained unmoved. Instead, countless grains of sand filled the cage, binding Huang Bo's range of motion.

"How is this possible? I can't break through this mere Sword Qi?" Huang Bo looked around in astonishment.

Never underestimate the sand in his hands, which seemed weak and powerless when scattered, but once gathered together, were as hard as mysterious iron and as sharp as any ordinary primordial weapon.

Xiao Yi hovered in the air, "Let me see you off!"

Swish!

Xiao Yi felt the divine power within him converge, flowing into the Fire Qilin Sword.

The Fire Qilin Sword glowed red, its scale-like patterns coming to life, as the fiery heat and Sword Qi surged forth. In an instant, the temperature within the cage of Sword Qi soared, turning everything into a world of flames, akin to being inside a volcano, facing the terrifying blaze.

The yellow sand began to melt, transforming into rolling magma.

Huang Bo, trapped within the magma, grimaced in excruciating pain. While the magma couldn't kill him, it inflicted unbearable, agonizing pain. "You scoundrels... Despicable humans, release me if you dare, and fight me fairly!"

"You, a high-ranking sixth-tier Beast King, dares to attack me, a mere human at the Golden Core Realm, and you speak of fairness?" Xiao Yi scoffed repeatedly.

"I, I..."

Huang Bo's face twisted in ugliness, his teeth clenched in anger, "Xiao Yi, release me, or I swear I'll annihilate your entire clan..."

"Clueless fool!"

Xiao Yi vibrated the blade of his sword.

Shua! Shua! Shua!

Sword Qi from all directions swarmed in, merging with the magma.

Chi! Chi! Chi!

The sword's edge effortlessly sliced open Huang Bo's body, leaving vicious wounds over him, and the magma seeped into every opening.

Should Huang Bo's demonic power not cover him in time, the magma would infiltrate and burn his flesh.

The piercing pain!

The scorching burn!

It completely drove Huang Bo mad. His face turned beet red, his body crisscrossed with ferocious wounds, many of which were scorched.

Finally...

Huang Bo gave up resistance: "I admit defeat..."

Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow, "That's it? You surrender just like that?"

"Hmph!"

Huang Bo snorted coldly, "Using such despicable tactics..."

"It seems it's not enough!"

Xiao Yi sighed, pointing his sword, "A Stroke That Surprises the Wind and Rain!"

Shua! Shua! Shua!

Sword beams fell like rain, bombarding Huang Bo frantically.

Incapable of dodging within the magma, Huang Bo resolutely bore the brunt of the relentless sword beams, frustrated and furious, "Xiao Yi, are you so desperate to force a fight to the death with me?"

"Still talking tough?"

"Ao... Xiao Yi, I command the allegiance of a million demonic beasts in Nanhuang. Believe me or not, if I instigate a beast tide..."

"A beast tide? Then I shall sacrifice you to Nanhuang!"

"No..."

"Xiao, ancestor Xiao, I admit my defeat... I was wrong... I lost..."

"Stop, please... no more..."

Huang Bo, covered in wounds and barely alive, had completely ceased to resist. He looked at Xiao Yi with dodging and fearful eyes, "Stop... I surrender..."

Xiao Yi's mouth curled into a small smile, "You surrender?"

"I surrender!"

Huang Bo nodded hastily, fearing to anger Xiao Yi further, "As long as you don't kill me, I'll agree to anything you ask!"

Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes, "If you don't want to die, then submit to me!"

"What? Don't even dream of it, I am the noble ruler of Nanhuang..."

Xiao Yi's Fire Qilin Sword thrummed with power, "Submit or die! The choice is yours!"

Huang Bo gulped down saliva nervously, quickly changing his stance, "I submit! I submit! I, the king, submit..."
