Chapter 475: Those Who Approach Will Be Killed
Why was Tang Longfei addressing Xiang Shaoyun as "Brother Xiang"? What was his relationship with Xiang Shaoyun? Nobody knew, not even Xiang Shaoyun himself. Di Tong was also completely clueless as to why the son of the Bloodsin City's governor was siding with Xiang Shaoyun. He did not bother fighting Tang Longfei. Rather, after blocking several attacks, he fled with his mount.
He had to return to the Ziling Sect as soon as possible, gather an army, and come kill Xiang Shaoyun. They could not allow him to continue growing, or he would bring disaster to their clan in the future.
Tang Longfei did not give chase. Rather, he remained and stood guard for Xiang Shaoyun. He could sense that Xiang Shaoyun was currently in a thoughtless state of cultivation. If he was ambushed during a random momentary pause, he would probably have no way of stopping the attack.
"This kid is really quite a fine young man," praised Tang Longfei.
Somewhere else, Zuo Zhentian was looking at Xiang Shaoyun with a complicated look on his face. Inwardly, he thought, Wind and lightning? Is this kid cultivating two different powers? And how about those silver lightning bolts? How is he controlling them?
Zuo Zhentian was a lightning cultivator, and he had longed to get his hands on a unique lightning power for a very long time. However, unique lightning powers were extremely hard to find. Even if he could find some, those would always be lightning powers at way too high of a level for him to refine. Silver lightning was comparatively lower level among the unique lightning powers that wouldn't be too dangerous for him to refine.
That was why he was envious of Xiang Shaoyun. He would not hesitate to steal the silver lightning power from Xiang Shaoyun if an opportunity presented itself. Some of the geniuses there also realized that Xiang Shaoyun had most likely refined the yin devil wind, and they all wore unsightly expressions.
One of them spoke to a white-clothed young man, "He is the one who murdered your big brother, Bai Yuji."
The person speaking was Zhao Wu, the one who had escaped the ghostrunes Xiang Shaoyun had previously released. He had a battle helmet on, and that was the same helmet he had relied on to survive the ghostrunes’ soul attacks.
Zhao Wu had not only participated in the fight against Jin Shui and Ling Lin, he had also participated in the battle against Shou Xie. Both times he had been lucky enough to escape from Xiang Shaoyun.
As for the white-clothed young man, he was Bai Qi, also from Yu Ziyi's group. He came from the tier-7 Bai Clan and was the younger brother of Bai Yuji. Together, they were both known as the Bai Clan’s Two Heroes. Reaching peak King Realm at such a young age, the two were worthy of the title.
Xiang Shaoyun had killed Bai Yuji in the battle against Jin Shui and Ling Lin. When Bai Qi learned of that, he was furious. With a sword in hand, he strode toward Xiang Shaoyun as he said, "Xiang Shaoyun's head will be mine for daring to kill my brother."
As Bai Qi strode forward, his aura surged out imposingly, displaying the prowess of his 65 percent complete draconic aura.
"Those who approach will be killed!" declared Tang Longfei coldly as he stared at Bai Qi, his fists tightly clenched. He was radiating an aura of an explosive dragon.
"Tang Longfei, get out of the way. He killed my big brother. I won't spare him," said Bai Qi.
Although Tang Longfei's draconic aura was 5 percent higher than his, he showed no fear. However, it would certainly not be easy for him to defeat Tang Longfei. Tang Longfei did not reply. Instead, he crossed his arm in front of his chest and stood tall with the bearing of a lone hero facing a massive army.
"Zhao Wu, work with me to take him down," said Bai Qi.
Zhao Wu hesitated slightly before stepping forward with his halberd in hand. He locked his aura on Tang Longfei, displaying his determination to join hands with Bai Qi.
"Bring it on. I am still craving for more battle anyway," welcomed Tang Longfei. He was the number one young master of the Bloodsin City. Not only was he valiant, he was extremely warlike as well. He had earned his reputation through his own hands, possessing a strength worthy of his fame.
Bai Qi’s sword shone with a bright white radiance, and he brandished it, instantly stabbing forth 81 times and sending a sword storm toward Tang Longfei. As for Zhao Wu, he was in his optimal condition. Gripping his halberd tightly, he stood in wait, prepared to land a heavy attack at any moment.
Tang Longfei stood there calmly. No fear could be seen on his face as astral energy converged around his fists. Around each fist the apparition of a dragon appeared and curled. He threw a punch at the incoming attack.
Soaring Dragon Fist!
It was an overbearing attack, as if a dragon had come to life. The dragon charged forward and crashed into the 81 sword energies. The sword energies shattered, while the dragon continued its way toward Bai Qi. Bai Qi moved to the side and avoided the attack. Draconic aura surged out of his body, and he swung his sword, sending another attack toward Tang Longfei.
Moment in Time!
A dazzling sword energy one kilometer long formed and streaked across the air. It was comparable in power to an Emperor’s attack. At the same time, Zhao Wu also made his move. He spun his halberd, which shone with a green radiance, causing numerous vines to grow before wrapping themselves around Tang Longfei, preventing him from moving away from the attack.
The two were planning to kill Tang Longfei then and there. However, a smile formed on Tang Longfei's face, and he said, "Interesting. Hahaha!"
He continued punching, sending a torrential wave of fists toward his opponents, attacking with even more power. Each of his punches seemed capable of smashing the sky apart.
Rumble! Rumble!
After a series of explosions, Bai Qi and Zhao Wu were sent flying while coughing blood.
"Piss off if you don't want to die," warned Tang Longfei.
"Not possible. I won't stop without killing Xiang Shaoyun today!" roared Bai Qi, still radiating a thick murderous intent.
Just as Bai Qi was about to attack again, Zuo Zhentian stepped forth and said with a smile, "Bai Qi, you are one of us. Therefore, we share your grudge. Let me deal with Tang Longfei. You can focus on Xiang Shaoyun."
This was Zuo Zhentian's scheme to hold up Tang Longfei so Bai Qi could kill Xiang Shaoyun. Perhaps he would then have a chance to get Xiang Shaoyun's silver lightning power. After all, the source of these unique powers would not perish together with the cultivator. Rather, they would separate from the cultivator and once more rejoin the natural world. After Xiang Shaoyun was killed, Zuo Zhentian would be able to blatantly take the silver lightning power for himself. On top of that, he could also get the yin devil wind.
"Ok. Thank you, Brother Zuo," said Bai Qi gratefully.
"Zuo Zhentian, you sure you want to do that?" asked Tang Longfei murderously, his eyes narrowed.
"Come on. I have been wanting to have a taste of your fist technique, Brother Tang," said Zuo Zhentian. With his spear in hand, his purple hair whipped about as his battle intent surged. Purple electrical currents started dancing around his body.
He lifted the spear and stabbed it at Tang Longfei, sending his innate lightning energy forward. It transformed into a roaring flood dragon. At the same time, Bai Qi and Zhao Wu took the chance to charge toward Xiang Shaoyun.
