Everyone present was dumbfounded. The two withered old men turned to Huwang Xiao in astonishment.
Others might not understand the power they had used just now, but they themselves knew it well. Even a peak late-First Order Highgod Realm master couldn't do what Huwang Xiao just did, easily breaking the force contained in their palm strikes.
This young man was actually a terrifying master! More powerful than them, two mid-First Order Highgod Realm masters!
All of them had misjudged this young man!
Huwang Xiao slowly turned around, but his palm suddenly struck at the two withered old men’s chests. The two old men paled, lifting their arms to counter in panic while retreating at the same time.
However, all was in vain.
Huwang Xiao’s palm force seemed to neglect space, landing straight on the two old men.
The old men grunted in pain. Their chests exploded from Huwang Xiao’s attack, revealing a large bloody hole. Falling backward, their bodies slid across the floor, knocking off countless tables and chairs.
Loud crashes came from the inn. Everyone watched with a dazed look, having yet to recover from their shock.
Injuring two Highgod Realm masters with a single strike?!
Huwang Xiao then looked at Yelu Tianhao, not bothering with the two old men anymore.
Yelu Tianhao stared wide-eyed at the floor, at the two Enforcers that came with him, mumbling incoherently, “I-impossible, impossible!”
“Impossible?” Huwang Xiao laughed harshly.
Huwang Xiao’s voice jolted Yelu Tianhao to his senses, but he was quickly overcome with fear, “You, you, what are you planning to do? I’m the Yelu Family’s Young Lord, if you dare harm a hair on my body, my Yelu Family will…!”
Before he could finish, Huwang Xiao’s palm pressed against the air. The force sent Yelu Tianhao flying, falling down beside the two withered old men.
“Harm a hair on your body?” Huwang Xiao raised his leg, kicking between Yelu Tianhao’s legs. Something similar to the sound of eggs cracking was heard.
During Huwang Xiao’s days on the Golden Dragon Peak, the All Dragons League’s Jiang Yu and the others experienced his egg cracking technique the most.
It had been a long time since he used this skill, yet displaying it was so easy and familiar to Huwang Xiao.
Yelu Tianhao clutched his crotch, wriggling and shrieking on the floor in agony. His screams sent goosebumps down the surrounding people’s necks.
Shi Xiaofei couldn’t help but blush watching Huwang Xiao burst Yelu Tianhao’s lower parts, secretly scolding Huwang Xiao as ‘scoundrel’.
“Young Lord!” The two withered old men cried out seeing Yelu Tianhao’s miserable condition. Their faces turned white, ignoring the injuries on their own bodies to treat their young master.
“Take your Young Lord and immediately scram out of White Tiger City.” Huwang Xiao’s cold voice sounded, “In the future, don’t let me see him, or else, every time I see him, I’ll burst it.” As for what ‘it’ was, that was understood without needing to ask.
The two old men were frightened and furious, but they dared not retort. After all, Huwang Xiao was stronger than them.
Yelu Tianhao fainted in anger.
The two withered old men swiftly brought him out of the inn, disappearing from view moments later.
Looking at the ruined inn, Huwang Xiao frowned; he had lost the mood to drink here. Hence, he called for the inn owner, reserved a courtyard, and had them bring new dishes and wine to the courtyard. Huwang Xiao gave the inn owner a top divine grade spirit stone as compensation for the inn’s loss.
Ch.812
The inn owner dared not accept Huwang Xiao’s top divine grade spirit stone no matter what. Don’t joke, after witnessing his horrifying strength, injuring two mid-First Order Highgod Realm masters in one move, the inn owner was too afraid to accept Huwang Xiao’s payment.
Watching the inn owner refuse to accept the spirit stone no matter what he said, Huwang Xiao desisted from trying to convince him any longer.
The inn owner personally arranged the courtyard for Huwang Xiao and Shi Xiaofei, personally led them there, and personally sent their wine and food.
He was more respectful than any slaves or servants.
After ensuring that Huwang Xiao had no other instructions, the inn owner respectfully withdrew.
When he was out of sight, Huwang Xiao smiled faintly at Shi Xiaofei, “We can finally have a meal in peace.”
Shi Xiaofei rolled her eyes at Huwang Xiao, “Is that not your fault?”
Huwang Xiao smiled helplessly, “My Lady, the blame lies not with me.”
Hearing Huwang Xiao call her ‘My Lady,’ Shi Xiaofei’s heart raced with happiness.
The two of them sat down at the stone table in the courtyard. Wisps of steam curled up from the plates, stimulating their appetite.
“It smells nice.” Looking at the delicious and fragrant dishes on the table, Shi Xiaofei used the chopsticks and picked up a piece of unknown meat, putting it into her dainty mouth. On the first chew, the flavor of the meat filled her taste buds.
Huwang Xiao slightly dazed watching Shi Xiaofei’s loveable eating expression, forgetting to eat.
Shi Xiaofei was even more loveable when she was eating, her small cherry lips moved as she chewed her food, issuing low sucking noises.
She suddenly noticed Huwang Xiao looking at her dazedly and became flustered, assuming that her eating appearance was unseemly because she was impatient. Her face turned red, feeling embarrassed, sulking away as she scolded, “What’s so nice to look at when I’m eating?”
Huwang Xiao grinned, “You.” He paused slightly before adding, “I suddenly feel that these dishes aren't so appetizing anymore, I want to eat you.”
Shi Xiaofei turned even redder, chiding him, “Old lecher!” But there was a glimmer of delight in her eyes. She then changed the subject, “This inn’s roast meat tastes better than the one you used to make.”
Huwang Xiao picked a piece of meat with his chopsticks, interested, “Really?” and transferred the meat into his mouth. Flavor filled his mouth immediately.
“It’s been a long time since I last ate meat roasted by you.” Shi Xiaofei added.
Huwang Xiao smiled, “Tomorrow. I’ll go buy some condiments and we’ll have roast meat tomorrow night.”
Shi Xiaofei nodded enthusiastically, her face radiating joy.
“But, that Yelu Tianhao most likely won’t let leave things as they are, you must be careful.” Recalling the incident earlier, Shi Xiaofei couldn’t help worrying.
Huwang Xiao was unconcerned, “Don’t worry, if that Yelu Tianhao dares to come back, I’ll make sure his lower part is permanently destroyed!”
Shi Xiaofei reddened at his words, chiding Huwang Xiao again, “You’d better not use that move in the future, so lewd!”
Huwang Xiao feigned confusion, “Which move?”
Shi Xiaofei’s petite fist landed on the side of Huwang Xiao’s arm, “Naughty, always bullying me.”
“Then I’ll behave and let you bully me tonight.” Huwang Xiao said as he pulled Shi Xiaofei into his embrace.
While Huwang Xiao and Shi Xiaofei were basking in their romance, outside, a shocking piece of news spread through the White Tiger City.
“What? A black-haired young man wounded two mid-First Order Highgod Realm masters in one strike?!”
“Any idea who that black-haired young man is?”
“No, but I heard others say that those two Highgod Realm masters belong to the Saint Lord Galaxy’s Yelu Family!”
“Yelu Family? The same Yelu Family known as the Immortal Royal Family?!
Before the night ended, various forces were astonished.
Inside a restaurant in another part of White Tiger City, Liu Yun and Qi Wen also heard the news.
“I wonder who that black-haired young man is. Eldest Senior Apprentice-brother, do you think it might be Junior Apprentice-brother?” When Qi Wen h
eard the news, she asked Liu Yun with an interested expression.
Liu Yun was stumped by her question, answering while shaking his head, “Probably not, the talks going around said that the two Yelu Family masters are both mid-First Order Highgod Realm. A single one of them already rivals the Zhu Family’s Patriarch. Although Junior Apprentice-brother’s strength is amazing, injuring both of them at the same time isn’t very likely.”
Liu Yun remembered clearly that Huwang Xiao had used his full strength in that single palm strike, and it was barely sufficient to send Zhu Chu flying.
Qi Wen nodded, agreeing. Then she added, “That’s true, even though Junior Apprentice-brother’s is amazing, he doesn’t possess such strength at this point...” Qi Wen’s voice trailed off here, her delicate face stiffened.
Liu Yun felt her behavior was strange, hence he turned around to look; a few people were standing at the entrance. This group was none other than the Zhu Family Patriarch and several Zhu Family masters.
However, Zhu Chu wasn't at the front of the group. Instead, the one leading them was a tall and burly old man with an overwhelming aura, his eyes and hair were crimson red.
Liu Yun’s face tightened, this crimson-haired old man was the Zhu Family’s Ancestor, Zhu Heng.
The moment the Zhu Family’s group entered the restaurant, Zhu Chu almost immediately noticed Liu Yun and Qi Wen. Zhu Chu was surprised for a moment, but a cold snort came from Zhu Family Ancestor Zhu Heng. He then led the group to Liu Yun and Qi Wen’s table.
When Zhu Heng reached them, his cold voice bore into Liu Yun’s heart, “Little brat, take out the blood contract and I won’t kill you! I'll give Feng Yang this much face.”
Liu Yun was apprehensive and angry, this Zhu Family Ancestor was just downright shameless. The blood contract was lost by the Zhu Family Patriarch, Zhu Chu, and now they wanted the it back.
“It can’t be done.” Despite being pressured by Zhu Heng’s divine might, suppressing Liu Yun’s thoughts of refusal, he gritted his teeth and still refused.
After all, the blood contract was a hindrance to him and Qi Wen’s happiness.
Hearing Liu Yun’s answer, Zhu Heng’s expression became even colder. His hand suddenly gripped the air and Liu Yun was lifted by his neck. Liu Yun’s face turned purple, out of breath.
Qi Wen couldn’t bear watching Liu Yun being treated so and turned to attack Zhu Heng in fury. But, before she could make a move, she was knocked into the air by an invisible force, crashing to the floor.
Zhu Heng snorted, coldly looking at Liu Yun, “Little brat, you were so courageous to speak to me this way that I assumed you’ve already broken through to Highgod Realm.” Zhu Heng took off Liu Yun’s spatial ring and pulled it into his hand, breaking the restrictions on it. He directly took out the blood contract.
Watching the blood contract being snatched away, Liu Yun was anxious and enraged, growling like a wounded beast.
Zhu Heng casually waved his hand and Liu Yun was thrown out from the restaurant, his mocking voice sounded “If you want to take back the blood contract, tell your Master to come. Of course, you can also send Huwang Xiao over, I really want to see if that Huwang Xiao is as strong as the rumors say, able to defeat a Second Order Highgod Realm master!” Zhu Heng released his Second Order Highgod Realm pressure at the end to emphasize his power.
Liu Yun’s face tightened. Zhu Heng had indeed broken through to Second Order Highgod Realm!
Finished what he wanted to say, Zhu Heng turned around and left with all the other Zhu Family masters.
Zhu Chenyi had a complicated expression on his face when he walked past Qi Wen.
Ch.813
After the Zhu Family’s group left, Qi Wen hurried to Liu Yun’s side, fretful and anxious, “Senior Apprentice-brother, how are your injuries?”
Liu Yun wanted to reassure her, but just as he opened his mouth, blood spewed out all over the ground.
Watching this, Qi Wen was on the verge of tears, anguish gripped her heart.
Liu Yun forced a smile, trying to comfort her, “I’m fine.” But, just as he said that, he coughed up another mouthful of blood.
“Senior Apprentice-brother, we must return to the Black Warrior Institute and seek help from Master!” Qi Wen urged.
Liu Yun shook his head, “Master is in death seclusion, if only Fourth Junior Apprentice-brother was here... He has Spring Autumn Hundred Life Divine Pellets”
“Fourth Junior Apprentice-brother!” Qi Wen quivered, “Right, right, Fourth Junior Apprentice-brother! The Firmament Divinity Mainland auctioning a Heavenly God’s godhead roused a big wave in all the four galaxies, maybe Fourth Junior Apprentice-brother also heard the news and came here, I’ll contact him to see if he’s close by.” Qi Wen quickly took out a jade slip, crushing it.
At the same time, inside a courtyard within the Heavenly Feast Inn. Huwang Xiao felt something and took out a jade slip. His expression turned stern after hearing the message.
“What is it?” Noticing the change in Huwang Xiao expression, Shi Xiaofei’s heart thumped with a bad feeling.
“Eldest Senior Apprentice-brother and Third Apprentice-sister are also in White Tiger City, but in the message Third Apprentice-sister sent, she said that both of them have been heavily injured.” Huwang Xiao explained in a solemn tone.
Shi Xiaofei’s face darkened hearing this, “Where are your Eldest Senior Apprentice-brother and Third Apprentice-sister now? Let’s go to them!”
Huwang Xiao nodded and led Shi Xiaofei out from the yard without another word. In a flicker, both of them left the inn, heading toward the place Qi Wen mentioned in her message.
Moments later, Huwang Xiao and Shi Xiaofei appeared in front of the restaurant, however, when they walked inside, Liu Yun and Qi Wen had already left. On the floor were two pools of blood that haven’t yet dried. Looking at them Huwang Xiao’s face darkened with anger.
Even without asking, he knew that the blood on the floor belonged to Liu Yun.
Huwang Xiao’s piercing gaze swept over the surroundings, killing intent roiled like waves in his heart.
The people inside the restaurant naturally felt the horrifying killing intent in the air and instinctively retreated to a safe distance as they looked fearfully at Huwang Xiao.
“Big brother Huwang!” Shi Xiaofei anxiously called out to him.
Only then did Huwang Xiao snap out from his dark mood, becoming clear-headed again.
“Your Eldest Senior Apprentice-brother and Third Apprentice-sister must have just left, contact them with the jade slip and ask for their location.” Shi Xiaofei softly persuaded.
Huwang Xiao took a deep breath nodding at Shi Xiaofei, then he took out the jade slip and contacted Liu Yun and Qi Wen, receiving a reply almost immediately. Huwang Xiao was relieved to receive a response so fast, he looked at Shi Xiaofei and said, “Come, Eldest Senior Apprentice-brother and Third Apprentice-sister are close by.”
Together with Shi Xiaofei, he hurried to the place where Liu Yun and Qi Wen were, meeting them shortly after at an inn’s small courtyard.
Seeing Huwang Xiao arrive, Qi Wen was overwhelmed with relief.
Huwang Xiao’s eyes fell on the heavily injured Liu Yin, his face grim. Not saying a word, he took out two Spring Autumn Hundred Life Divine Pellets, giving Liu Yun and Qi Wen one each. At the same time, Huwang Xiao circulated his true immortal essence force, placing both palms on Liu Yun’s back to help him refine the Spring Autumn Hundred Life Divine Pellet.
With his help in refining the pellet’s effects, Liu Yun’s face gradually regained some color.
“Eldest Senior Apprentice-brother, who did this to you?” asked Huwang Xiao.
Liu Yun was reluctant to say anything, but under Huwang Xiao’s gaze, he briefly recounted what took place earlier.
“Zhu Family Ancestor!” Murder glinted in Huwang Xiao’s eyes.
Watching Huwang Xiao’s reaction, Liu Yun tried to dissuade him, “Junior Apprentice-brother, that Zhu Family Ance
stor has broken through to Second Order Highgod Realm, and I heard he has a unique physique called Myriad Poison King Physique. We’d best wait for Master to exit his seclusion before talking about this matter.”
Huwang Xiao was aware of Liu Yun’s worries, but he smiled reassuringly, “ Eldest Senior Apprentice-brother need not worry, I know how to handle this matter. I’ll get that blood contract for you.” Of course, Huwang Xiao wanted to do more than just take back the blood contract.
Liu Yun wanted to persuade him not to be reckless, but in the end no words would come. He understood Huwang Xiao’s personality quite well.
As things were, Huwang Xiao and Shi Xiaofei decided to stay at the same inn as Liu Yun and Qi We, taking the courtyard beside theirs.
There were six days left until the auction began.
Huwang Xiao and Shi Xiaofei tried getting in touch with the Ascending Moon Old Man and Yang Yi, but there was no response from either of them. Then again, he wasn’t that concerned about the two elders. Since they came for the godhead, he would naturally see them at the auction; as for the Zhu Family Ancestor, Huwang Xiao decided to hold off until the end of the auction before ‘taking care’ of him.
Amidst all this, Huwang Xiao found it odd. Knowing the power he possessed, the Zhu Family still made a move on his Senior Apprentice-brother?
Was it all just for the blood contract?
Weren’t they afraid of provoking his wrath? It was no secret that, on the surface, Huwang Xiao had fourteen Highgod Realm masters who signed a blood contract with him!
Fourteen Highgod Realm masters could easily annihilate the entire Zhu Family.
Huwang Xiao stood in the yard pondering over this matter, cold light gleaming in the depths of his eyes.
“You’re thinking about the Zhu Family?” Shi Xiaofei arrived behind Huwang Xiao, softly asking.
Huwang Xiao nodded, “The Zhu Family Ancestor’s motive may not be so simple.”
Shi Xiaofei continued in a somber tone, “He’s doing this to anger you, luring you to act?”
