Chapter 1270 Unforgivable!
1270 Unforgivable!
"How many times do you have to humiliate me before you are satisfied, woman…? If I don't rip you from limb to limb, my surname is not Bai!" Bai Xutao roared, his aura soaring even further.
Using his movement technique, Bai Xutao quickly approached Feng Yuxiang, who also used her movement technique to confront him.
Just like her appearance, Feng Yuxiang's combat prowess had changed drastically. However, even with her upgrade, she was still behind Bai Xutao and was unable to land a single hit even after a thousand exchanges.
'Just how strong is this crazy bastard?!' Feng Yuxiang couldn't believe that she was still losing to him despite her transformation, and Bai Xutao was still a Spirit King while she had entered the Spirit Emperor realm.
Not wanting to disturb Feng Yuxiang's pace, Xi Meili watched them fight from a distance for some time at first, but when she realized that Bai Xutao was slowly pushing Feng Yuxiang back more and more, she decided to join the fight and support Feng Yuxiang, even removing her own restriction, allowing her Spirit Emperor cultivation to surge forward.
"How many times do I have to tell you that you won't defeat me even if you worked together?!"
Bai Xutao became more defensive when Xi Meili joined the battle, and despite his disadvantage in numbers, he did not seem to be worried even in the slightest.
Of course, neither Feng Yuxiang nor Xi Meili was going all out, as they were still in the middle of a city, so they were subconsciously holding back their strength, unlike Bai Xutao, who couldn't care less about his surroundings or the innocent people around them.
Eventually, the guards in that city showed up, surrounding them.
"Halt! Do you even realize where you rascals are currently? Fights between cultivators are strictly prohibited inside a city, especially those at your cultivation level! Are you trying to level this entire city?!" Thousands of guards surrounded them.
"That crazy bastard attacked us first! We're only defending ourselves!" Feng Yuxiang responded to them.
"I don't give a fuck who started this fight! You will stop now and come with us for interrogation!"
Bai Xutao looked at these guards and sneered, "Unless you plan on participating in the fight, I suggest you all get out of here before I make you participate."
"Who the hell do you think you are?!" The leader of these guards roared at him.
"You're not worthy of knowing my identity," Bai Xutao retorted in a chilly tone.
"Arrogant little bastard… If you think you can fight all of us, you can go ahead and try! Arrest these fools!" The leader commanded.
"Yes!"
The guards immediately began approaching them in a massive formation for apprehension, making sure that they couldn't escape.
Bai Xutao merely scoffed at their pointless attempt, and just as he prepared to slaughter these guards, another voice boomed.
"What is going on here?!"
A slender figure descended from the sky moments later. She was a gorgeous young woman with a noble aura around her, appearing to be around Feng Yuxiang's age at first glance. Her hair was a mixture of mostly white with some black, and she had yellow eyes, much like Bai Xutao.
Upon the arrival of this newcomer, her mere presence was sufficient to freeze the guards in their tracks, and Bai Xutao began to display signs of unease.
During the ensuing moment of silence, the young woman surveyed her surroundings, taking note of the city's devastation.
"I leave you alone for a few days, and in such a short span of time, you've managed to create such a colossal mess? Are you intentionally trying to piss me off, Bai Xutao?" The young woman spoke in a cold voice as she stared at him with a piercing gaze that could penetrate even the heavens.
Bai Xutao trembled as he replied in a bashful manner, "I-I can explain this, Elder Sister Ning—"
The young woman suddenly disappeared from her location and appeared in front of Bai Xutao faster than one could blink their eyes before punching him in the stomach so hard that Bai Xutao's body arched like a bow.
"Does it look like I care about your reasoning?" she asked him, and she continued, "In case you forgot, we are not here to play around. If you're not going to cooperate, I will send you back home."
"I-I know! But those two dared to disrespect the Immortal Clans!" Bai Xutao pointed at the puzzled Feng Yuxiang and Xi Meili in the distance.
Bai Ning turned to look at them with a narrowed gaze before turning back to look at Bai Xutao, "Have you forgotten where you are? The Immortal Clans don't exist down here, so they wouldn't know much about us. Why waste your energy over something so insignificant? How childish— not that I expected more from you."
Bai Xutao clenched his teeth in the realization that he couldn't talk his way out of this predicament.
'Hold on a moment,' then a sudden spark of inspiration ignited within him.
"T-They also mocked the Immortal Monarch!" he immediately cried out loud.
Bai Ning's entire face froze after hearing this, and her body began trembling a moment later.
Bai Xutao smiled inwardly at her reaction and quickly continued in a sorrowful voice, "That's right! They called him a phony, among other vile epithets that I wouldn't dare repeat even on my deathbed! When I heard their disrespect toward the Immortal Monarch, my rage got the best of me, and I felt compelled to reprimand them!"
ƈοm The sky above the city suddenly darkened despite the early hour, and it felt as if the world itself trembled in apprehension of some impending event.
"What the hell is going on?" Feng Yuxiang mumbled in a dazed voice.
"I have a bad feeling about this…" Xi Meili swallowed inwardly.
"How dare they… my beloved Immortal Monarch… unforgivable!" Bai Ning murmured in a chilling tone, her presence radiating such killing intent that it could fill the heavens.
She fixed her gaze on the startled Feng Yuxiang and Xi Meili, and the intensity of her look sent shivers down their spines, their very instincts urging them to flee.
