He had been waiting for a long time for this day to arrive.
“Go, inform Deities Templar’s Senior Liu Yang and Senior Li Molin that Huwang Xiao is here!” Chen Tianqi instructed one of his Domain Leader subordinates below the dais.
Ch.405
“Huwang Xiao?!” That Site Leader was surprised, but saluted smartly and then retreated from the fantastic hall in a hurry to notify Deities Templar’s Liu Yang and Li Molin.
Chen Tianqi pondered for a moment and decided to recall all Area Leaders from the branches to assemble at to the headquarters. When that was done, Chen Tianqi snickered, “Huwang Xiao, I wonder which stage of the Asura Techniques you are at. I hope you won’t disappoint me.”
Within a flicker, Chen Tianqi’s figure disappeared from the great hall, leaving on the quiet, serene hall.
At the same time, in a mountain forest on the northern side of the Central Oblast, a small bonfire crackled merrily, a wonderful aroma of roast meat weaved between wine fragrance suffused the air.
“Sovereign, those Domains Leaders are extremely devoted to Chen Tianqi, it seems that making them submit will be difficult!” Beside the bonfire, Zhang Fu commented.
Both Domain Leaders of Peach Blossom Sea and Tranquility Valley were so.
“If they do not submit, then kill all of them!” A solid bloodlust glinted in Huwang Xiao’s eye.
Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu exchanged a glance.
“Sovereign, if things continue that way, our Asura’s Gate’s strength would diminish greatly, I’m scared…” Zhao Shu hesitated to go on.
Huwang Xiao viewed Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu saying, “I know what you’re concerned about, but don’t be concerned, after I dominate Asura’s Gate, I've ways to enhance Asura’s Gate overall power, making it stronger than ever!”
Both Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu were perplexed, neither had any knowledge to the ‘ways’ Huwang Xiao mentioned. Both of them were aware that Huwang Xiao experienced a lot of divine quality nature pellets, and definitely not lacking in high-grade Heaven rank cultivation techniques, but despite that, to nurture a Saint world expert for a force couldn’t solely rely on just heart pellets and cultivation techniques.
It needed the long-term accumulation of the force’s resources. Although doubtful, they didn't pursue the matter.
“Sovereign, on top of that, this subordinate is worried about the Elders at the headquarters. This subordinate has been trying to get in touch with the Elders at the headquarters but received no reply. Not one.” Zhao Shu looked concerned, “Could something have occurred to the Elders at the headquarters?”
Zhang Fu also wore a worried look, “These headquarters Elders have always resisted Chen Tianqi, but now that Chen Tianqi has allied himself with Deities Templar, sweeping away the obstacles that these Elders were…!” the words trailed off here at the worst possibility.
All of Asura’s Gate headquarters Elders eliminated!
Working in cahoots with Deities Templar, Chen Tianqi was definitely with the capacity of doing that.
Huwang Xiao’s voice was somber, “Perhaps not, I believe Chen Tianqi probably has all the resisting Elders locked up somewhere.”
Zhao Shu sighed heavily, “I am hoping so.”
Zhang Fu felt the same heaviness. If the band of Elder was annihilated by Chen Tianqi and Deities Templar, and Huwang Xiao was now eliminating off Asura’s Gate Saint realm experts one by one, it was inevitable that the Asura’s Gate would be kicked out from the ranking of the twelve super forces.
The night passed without any more words and light gradually replaced the dark sky.
Huwang Xiao exited the Godly Xumi Temple.
These days, he had been practicing the nine different Golden Dragon Pill Refinement Tactics with diligence. After a two weeks’ work, Huwang Xiao mastered the first Dragon Clan pill refinement tactic. It was an advanced grade tactic, Dragon Weaving through the Clouds.
Practicing tablet refinement tactics was similar to cultivating, it took into consideration one’s comprehension ability. In general, for someone to familiarize themselves and further master a pill refinement tactic, it would take years, even decades, but Huwang Xiao were able to do it in two a few months’ time.
Reappearing in the exterior world, the very first thing Huwang Xiao noticed was Lil’ Tian dozing on top of a big boulder, his snores sounded at a regular rhythm as saliva drooled from his mouth area.
This scene brought a smile to Huwang Xiao’s face. This little guy’s presence brought liveliness with their otherwise dull journey.
Being cautioned by Huwang Xiao, the little guy no longer went looking for fights everywhere, and was more well-behaved, for Huwang Xiao scared him, stating that if he didn’t listen, there wouldn't be any more roast Tyrant Boar meats.
Evidently, nothing could beat roast Tyrant Boar in the tiny guy’s eyes.
Afterwards, Lil’ Tian woke up, rubbing his eyes. Spotting Huwang Xiao, he asked, “Big brother, can I fight today?”
Huwang Xiao smiled, “You can when I say you can.”
The next question that came out from the little guy’s mouth was if there's roast Tyrant Boar for dinner?
This had become a habit. Every morning, when Lil’ Tian woke up, the first question he would ask was if he could battle today, and the second question was: is there roast Tyrant Boar for supper?
When Huwang Xiao confirmed that there would be roast meat for dinner, the tiny man would jump into the air, clapping his hands in pleasure.
The group left the spot moments later, continuing on the way towards Asura’s Gate third branch.
Huwang Xiao designed to subjugate the Domain name Leaders. Those who refused would be killed, weakening Chen Tianqi’s pushes at the same time. Then, he'd check out the headquarters for the final confrontation with Chen Tianqi.
However, they arrived at the third branch only to discover that the Website Leader of the branch was absent. Actually, all the disciples were nowhere to be observed as well.
“Looks like Chen Tianqi already knows that we’ve found its way to Central Oblast.” Huwang Xiao sneered.
“What should we do next, Sovereign?” Zhao Shu inquired.
“Head straight to the headquarters.” Huwang Xiao mentioned in a chilly voice.
“Sovereign, Deities Templar forged sets of Divine Dragon Armor, I’m afraid that the Poison Corpse Scarabs…” Zhang Fu hesitated. Huwang Xiao’s biggest trump card were those Poison Corpse Scarabs, with those Divine Dragon Armors forged by Deities Templar, rushing recklessly to the headquarters just relying on their strength, they might be powerless against Chen Tianqi and the Deities Templar.
“Don’t worry, I have my plan.” A light flashed in his eye.
“Let’s go.”
Thus, following Huwang Xiao’s order, the group headed right to the Asura’s Gate headquarters. In half a day’s time, they reached the Heavenly Sky Phoenix Mountain.
It had been dusk by the time the four of these stepped on the Heavenly Sky Phoenix Hill. The scenery on Heavenly Sky Phoenix Mountain at this time of the day as the fiery ember sunset glow fell on earth added a touch of tranquil beauty.
Yet, underneath this tranquility, Huwang Xiao detected a surging killing intent.
“It seems like Chen Tianqi has been looking forward to us for a long period.” Huwang Xiao said coldly, in a flicker, he, Zhao Shu, Zhang Fu, and Lil’ Tian flew towards the fantastic hall of Asura’s Gate. Moments later, they descended on the square before the great hall. The square in front of the Asura’s Gate great hall was large enough to accommodate ten thousand people.
At the sides of the square, there have been statues of Asuras with grim expressions, holding wicked looking spears, blades, and swords, emitting a frigid aura of death and slaughter.
Just like Huwang Xiao and the others’ ft landed on the ground, an obnoxious laughter reverberated in the square.
“Huwang Xiao, we’ve been waiting a long time for you!” Several silhouettes flew right out of the central g
reat hall and stood some distance before Huwang Xiao.
These people were non-e other than Chen Tianqi and a group of Asura’s Gate Domain Leaders. It did not end there though, space rippled as more people surfaced from the void, Li Molin, and the others of Deities Templar group of Elders.
The experts on Deities Templar’s aspect seemed armed to the teeth with a full set of deep red armor, the torso area of every armor was inscribed with a divine dragon symbol. Dragon spikes formed defensive barriers on both arms and legs. Li Molin and the Deities Templar Elders exuded a faint coercive dragon might with the armor on them. Those deep red spiky armors that the fifteen of these were wearing were the fabled Divine Dragon Armors that Deities Templar forged from the Dragon corpses.
Li Molin and the fourteen Elders disseminate, encircling Huwang Xiao’s group and blocking most of Huwang Xiao’s escape routes.
“Huwang Xiao, I didn’t expect you to really have the guts to come!” Li Molin looked at Huwang Xiao, her icy gaze matched her coldness in her voice.
Ch.406
Huwang Xiao’s face remained his usual calm, “Oh, why wouldn’t I dare to come?”
Huwang Xiao’s reply made the killing intent in Li Molin’s eyes even stronger. She smiled, yet it didn’t reach her cold gaze, “Huwang Xiao, do you really think just because you subjugated some Poison Corpse Scarabs that you’re invincible between this heaven and earth? We have the Divine Dragon Shield, those Poison Corpse Scarabs of yours are useless against us!”
“Is that so?” Huwang Xiao retorted with nonchalance.
“Huwang Xiao, hand over the God Binding Band and Total Soul Pearl.” Liu Yang, who was standing beside Li Molin, interjected coldly, “Don’t even think that you can run, the area in this entire area has been locked down by us using Golden Silkworm Thread, if you obediently give the God Binding Ring and Overall Spirit Pearl, we can consider letting you die more comfortably!”
Golden Silkworm Thread was a rare religious item that could cut off space connection. Although a Saint world expert could manipulate space, if space was completely locked even they couldn’t get away.
Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu’s encounters tightened-Golden Silkworm Thread!
Neither one of them expected Deities Templar to have such a thing.
Both of them were aware of how terrifying Golden Silkworm Thread was, the legendary Golden Silkworm Thread produced every ten thousand years. It was tough enough to flay the flesh of a Saint realm expert. The Golden Silkworm Thread’s sharpness was evident.
However, Huwang Xiao blatantly ignored Liu Yang, shifting his attention onto Chen Tianqi’s group, revealing the Asura Band on his finger.
The moment the Asura Ring emerged, it reflected a cold glint in the setting sunlight, exuding an inviolable mysterious power.
“Asura Band!” The band of Site Market leaders behind Chen Tianqi paled somewhat taking a look at the Asura Ring, yet there is an indescribable excitement in their eyes at exactly the same time.
The Asura Ring was the highest symbol of the Asura’s Gate.
Huwang Xiao snapped, “Seeing the Asura Ring is like seeing the Sovereign, kneel down!” Huwang Xiao’s tone of voice carried a power that jarred their thoughts.
The group of Area Leaders behind Chen Tianqi shook. Their knees bent slightly, going to kneel down in salute when Chen Tianqi’s noisy bellow brought them back to their senses.
Chen Tianqi faced Huwang Xiao with a sarcastic sneer, “Huwang Xiao, do you reckon that with a mere Asura Ring, you really will be the Asura’s Gate Sovereign? Truly ridiculous! I been successful the Sovereign position based on the unanimous vote of all Domain Leaders, thus I am the rightful Sovereign. Huwang Xiao, since you’re my Master’s disciple, that means you’re also my Asura’s Gate disciple. Viewing this Sovereign, why aren’t you kneeling down in salute?!”
While telling this, Chen Tianqi viewed Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu, ordering in a stern tone, “Zhao Shu, Zhang Fu, before this Sovereign why aren’t you kneeling down in salute? You two know perfectly that those not kneeling when viewing the Sovereign will be handled as traitors!”
Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu’s expression sank. It never occurred to them Chen Tianqi would reverse black to white, turning the tables on them, claiming them to be traitors instead!
One of the Domains Leaders, Gu Wen, behind Chen Tianqi stepped forward with a sneer, “Huwang Xiao, Peach Blossom Sea, and Harmony Valley’s Domain Leaders were killed by you, right? As an Asura’s Gate disciple, eliminating brothers of the same sect, do you know your crime? Kneel down and seek mercy from Sovereign Chen!”
Huwang Xiao’s manifestation became grim, “Since that’s your choice, then all of you can go to hell!”
Chen Tianqi burst away in a rancorous laughter: “Audacious! Huwang Xiao, do you think that you’re a God World master?”
Gu Wen and the rest of Domain Market leaders laughed out loud.
Although Huwang Xiao had the Poison Corpse Scarabs, the Deities Templar’s experts had the Divine Dragon Armors, therefore, in Chen Tianqi’s and the Asura’s Gate Domain name Leaders’ view, Huwang Xiao’s Poison Corpse Scarabs had lost their lethality.
At the moment, Lil’ Tian’s voice sounded, “Your government, can I fight later?”
Huwang Xiao was stunned, then a brilliant smile appeared on his face, “You are able to. Later, when you combat, hit as hard as you can.”
Lil’ Tian was ecstatic receiving Huwang Xiao’s permission and seriously nodded his little head, “Alright, I will use all my energy as if someone is robbing milk from me personally!”
Huwang Xiao chuckled.
Then, Li Molin’s low bellow sounded, her figure flickered into a blur. When she made an appearance, there was a long azure sword in her hands, directed directly at Huwang Xiao.
The azure longsword emitted a curtain of azure glow, sharp sword intent bursting out in all four directions. There was no doubt that this azure longsword was a godly weapon.
This time, Deities Templar made a conviction to kill Huwang Xiao at all costs. That was why, not only did they take out the rare spiritual Golden Silkworm Thread, but all fifteen Deities Templar’s Elders present were also equipped with a godly tool like Li Molin’s.
Almost at the same time, Li Molin attacked Huwang Xiao. Liu Yang and the others of Deities Templar Elders also acted, launching their attacks toward Huwang Xiao, Zhao Shu, and Zhang Fu’s path.
A chilly sneer flashed across Chen Tianqi’s face watching things unfold.
This is something agreed beforehand between him and Deities Templar, they would resolve Huwang Xiao and his group. But, of course, he also promised Deities Templar a great deal of good things.
Because Deities Templar also had plans to expand to Starcloud Continent.
Asura’s Gate cooperating with Deities Templar was beneficial to Deities Templar’s foundation on Starcloud Continent.
Just when Li Molin’s attack was about to reach Huwang Xiao, Huwang Xiao and Lil’ Tian suddenly disappeared from view. While a black cloud materialized in the air out of nowhere.
“Poison Corpse Scarabs!” Among the Deities Templars’ face ashen, exclaiming aloud.
Everyone was instantly alerted.
“Why are there so many Poison Corpse Scarabs! Didn’t the message say that there were only ten thousand?!” Liu Yang stared at the large black cloud created by the Poison Corpse Scarabs in shock.
According to their information, the number of Poison Corpse Scarabs that Huwang Xiao subjugated was no more than ten thousand. But the black swarm of Poison Corpse Scarabs was not just twenty thousand, it was at least thirty thousand!
The number also frightened Li Molin, but a cold sneer soon sounded from her, “it doesn’t matter how many there are, we are wearing the Divine Dragon Armors and have godly weapons in our hands! To destroy these Poison Corpse Scarabs will be effortless!” She waved the azure longsword in her hand to the cloud of Poison Corpse Scarabs to demonstrate to everyone.
Zhenggg-! A crisp sound
rang.
However, in the next second, Li Molin’s face warped unpleasantly, for those Poison Corpse Scarabs cut by her azure longsword didn't split in two!
‘What is happening?! These Poison Corpse Scarabs’ toughness actually reached such a terrifying degree, not even a godly weapon can eliminate them?!’
Liu Yang and others looked just like grim, having the same results as Li Molin.
Li Molin swung out her azure longsword once more, and an azure curtain of sword intention slashed across space, sending greater than a dozen Poison Corpse Scarabs tumbling back in the air. Yet, occasions later, those insects beat their wings and flew up again, continuing to attack.
“Impossible!”
“How are these Poison Corpse Scarabs’ defenses to horrifying?!” Li Molin shrieked.
Only at this moment did Huwang Xiao and Lil’ Tian’s silhouettes appear again.
Huwang Xiao appeared around, sneering, “I forgot to let you know, these Poison Corpse Scarabs can actually evolve.” In the last months, to be able to push the Poison Corpse Scarabs’ evolution, he even took out some Dragon Bloodstream Crystals he collected from the Old Dragon Clan ruins to feed them.
Huwang Xiao noticed that after swallowing those Dragon Blood Crystals, their evolution was faster compared to purely eating Saint world experts’ corpses by several times.
In the end, Huwang Xiao even took out Divine Dragon Pills to feed these Poison Corpse Scarabs. Within the last several months, they had scourged more than three hundred pieces of Huwang Xiao’s Dragon Bloodstream Crystals and one hundred Divine Dragon pellets.
“They can evolve!!” Li Molin, Liu Yang, and everyone who noticed it switched sickly white.
Including Chen Tianqi and the Asura’s Gate band of Website Leaders. It never happened to them these Poison Corpse Scarabs could develop, and their protection could be raised to the terrifying level!
