NOVPUBChapter 608: Chapter 608: Shocking【The Fifteenth Update】 Chapter 608: Chapter 608: Shocking【The Fifteenth Update】 “Boom!”
The overwhelming aura erupted directly from beneath the ruins, leveling the damaged villa into a flat ground.
A figure suddenly burst forth from beneath the ruins, soaring higher into the sky.
The onlookers, still in shock, noticed the commotion and turned their gaze toward it.
“Is that!”
“It’s Huo Yingfei!”
“This old guy is still alive?”
...
“That aura… has he made a breakthrough?”
“Tsk tsk, this old man is still as formidable as ever, making a breakthrough in such a desperate situation.”
“That young man is a Mentalist, and by the looks of his cultivation level, he’s probably about the same as Golden Core Realm. Now that Old Huo has officially broken through, the kid is probably in for it.”
“That’s right. This old man isn’t exactly kind-hearted. After taking such a huge loss, how could he not strike back?”
These Cultivators gathered at a distance, looking as though they were watching an exciting show.
Li Xiaoyao looked at him in surprise and muttered to himself, “He actually made a breakthrough? But what of it, I could kill him with one slap!”
Huo Yingfei stood atop the ruins, looking over his body with great delight, thinking to himself, “Is this the Golden Core Realm? My strength is dozens of times greater than before, and the spiritual power within my body seems inexhaustible!”
Not only that, but after breaking through, Huo Yingfei felt his frail body burst forth with astonishing vitality.
With his current physical condition, living another hundred years was absolutely no problem.
“You dare to harm me?” Huo Yingfei’s gaze shifted, and flames danced in his eyes as he said, “Before my breakthrough, no one in Zhu Island City dared to disrespect me. Now that I’ve reached the Golden Core Realm, even fewer dare to slight me!”
Li Xiaoyao spoke indifferently, “You dare to speak to me with such tone, just as a mere Golden Core Realm? I’ve killed countless cultivators of the Golden Core Realm. Someone like you can be crushed to death with just one finger.”
Huo Yingfei’s eyebrows twitched violently, and he laughed in anger, “What audacity! A mere Cultivator, relying on your Mentalist status, dares to insult me?”
“Today, you will be the first one I kill after my breakthrough into the Golden Core Realm!” As the words fell, Huo Yingfei’s entire being shot toward Li Xiaoyao like a javelin.
When he stepped off the ground and soared into the air, the area beneath his feet turned to ash and dust in an instant.
This ferocious momentum also drew gasps of admiration from many Cultivators.
“Such power, so formidable!”
“I couldn’t take this blow if it were me,” one Cultivator said, shaking his head in envy.
Li Xiaoyao stood in midair, motionless as a mountain. Only when Huo Yingfei charged towards him did he leisurely lift a hand as clear and lustrous as jade, and, under the disdainful eyes of the onlookers, he struck at the furiously aura-filled Huo Yingfei.
“The impudent youth!” Huo Yingfei was so insulted by his arrogance that he was enraged. When had he ever been humiliated like this? Concentrating all his spiritual power into his right fist, he was determined to obliterate Li Xiaoyao’s head with a single punch.
“Bang!”
Fist met palm, and an earth-shattering explosion echoed. Everyone’s eyes were glued to the scene, not wanting to miss a single detail.
Yet, what happened next left everyone speechless.
Li Xiaoyao remained in the air, without a single movement, not even a crease in his robe.
In contrast, Huo Yingfei was sent flying by that single palm, his speed several times faster than when he had approached.
The sound of breaking bones echoed through mid-air as he flew, until his body crashed back down into the ruins, and it was only then that the crowd recovered from their astonishment.
“This… this…”
The crowd was stammering, at a loss for words to describe what they had just witnessed.
“`
“Too terrifying!”
“This is Huo Yingfei who had broken through to the Golden Core Realm, just to be slapped away like that?”
“Is the old Huo… still alive?” someone asked, prompting everyone to look over in unison.
In the ruins, a huge crater, and in the crater lay Huo Yingfei.
Huo Yingfei’s body was covered in wounds, blood spurted out like it cost nothing, his chest caved in, and his right arm was twisted in an exceedingly bizarre shape.
He was alive but hardly different from being dead.
Seeing him in this state sent a chill through everyone’s heart. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
This Li Xiaoyao was truly too horrifying.
With just one palm strike, he had left Huo Yingfei, who had advanced to the Golden Core Realm, half dead. How powerful must his true strength be?
When did Zhu Island City produce such a strong cultivator—and so young too!
Li Xiaoyao’s figure blurred, and in an instant, he appeared amidst the ruins, stepping over to Huo Yingfei’s side.
Under the bewildered gazes of the crowd, Li Xiaoyao raised his palm and with one motion, Huo Yingfei rose into the air like a withered leaf, flying towards Li Xiaoyao.
Huo Yingfei hung three feet above the ground, his entire person dyed red with blood, his gaze hollow, unfocused.
Li Xiaoyao didn’t even look at him, just moved his hand slowly over to his Dantian, grasped into the void, and a golden core the size of a chicken egg emerged from Huo Yingfei’s Dantian, caught in Li Xiaoyao’s hand.
As soon as the Golden Core left his body, Huo Yingfei’s entire body started convulsing, and with a flick of Li Xiaoyao’s finger, Huo Yingfei was sent flying out.
Giving Huo Yingfei, whose body was violently twitching, a cold glance, Li Xiaoyao surprisingly didn’t take his life.
With his Dantian destroyed and his Golden Core taken, Huo Yingfei was now a cripple among cripples. Whether he could survive depended entirely on his fate.
With an indifferent look, Li Xiaoyao glanced at the surrounding cultivators who were watching and turned to fly towards the Ancient Sword, carrying the unconscious Zhang Meng and heading towards the cruise ship.
After Li Xiaoyao left, an instant hush fell over the silent peak of Ping Mountain, and many people let out a breath of relief.
“That pressure was too terrifying, I didn’t even dare to speak.”
“Not just that, his mere gaze made me lose all thoughts of resistance.”
“The Huo Family is done for!”
“Although that powerful person didn’t kill him, destroying his Dantian and taking his Golden Core is more despairing than death.”
“I wonder what unforgivable things the Huo Family did to provoke such a powerful being to their doorstep for slaughter.”
The cruise ship.
Lisa was somewhat restless in front of the piano, but she never dared to leave the spot. It was as if Li Xiaoyao had cast a spell on the place, no one dared to approach her, but if she left this area, it’d be another story.
Just ten minutes ago, there was a loud noise outside, the three surviving Sect Leaders and the ordinary cultivators all ran out. From time to time exclamations could be heard, and they haven’t come back in yet.
While Lisa was feeling uncertain, a flash of light zipped by, and Li Xiaoyao holding a woman descended from the expansive Ancient Sword and walked towards her.
Lisa thought she must be crazy, she rubbed her eyes hard, confirming that the man in front of her was Li Xiaoyao.
It was really him, that bastard.
But what on earth had happened to him in this half a year? Why had he changed so much?
And he could even fly with a sword?
Isn’t that something only those legendary knights and angels were supposed to do?
