Chapter 1302: One Hit
Wan Kaishan and his people weren't pushovers. Those who had attacked first were merely the weakest among them, and they were only responsible for verifying the strength of Xiang Shaoyun's group.
Wan Kaishan had not expected the youngsters to be so strong. He frowned and shouted, "You dare resist? Take all of them down! Show no mercy!"
At his command, about a dozen people behind him released their soul foundations simultaneously and charged Ouyang Chuanqi, Han Chenfei, and Jiang Qi. They had all been baptized by blood in the Devil Domain. Their combat strength was not to be underestimated. With their higher cultivation levels, they were able to snatch the upper hand from Ouyang Chuanqi, Han Chenfei, and Jiang Qi.
Tang Longfei and Zhuge Zhantian wanted to help, but Xiang Shaoyun stopped them, saying, "There's no need. They are enough to deal with these people."
Ouyang Chuanqi, Han Chenfei, and Jiang Qi were all genius disciples from their respective academies with the strength to match peak Soul Foundation Realm cultivators. It wasn't possible that they wouldn't be a match for their opponents. It was more likely that they were holding back since there were two late-stage Soul Foundation Realm cultivators who had yet to make a move beside Wan Kaishan.
Ouyang Chuanqi was originally no weaker than Xiang Shaoyun. Over the years, he had cultivated hard to keep up with Xiang Shaoyun. His cultivation level had surpassed Xiang Shaoyun's, granting him the ability to fight peak Sovereigns. As he spun his fiery spear like a flaming wheel, his opponents were forced to retreat again and again.
His gaze landed on the weakest of his opponents. He became one with his spear and transformed into a surging torrent of flame, crashing toward him. His opponent did not expect to be targeted. Before he could even put up any defenses, the fiery spear pierced through his chest.
At this time, two people charged Ouyang Chuanqi from his front and back, each sending a slash at him. Ouyang Chuanqi's opponent thought that the combined attack would work, but Ouyang Chuanqi reacted nimbly and bent down, avoiding the fatal attack. Ouyang Chuanqi then swept his leg out with a bizarre posture. His kick struck his opponent's crotch, causing his opponent to wail in pain.
Ouyang Chuanqi roared, "Is this all you have, maggots? This is too disappointing."
As Ouyang Chuanqi revealed his strength, his opponents suffered a crushing defeat.
Han Chenfei and Jiang Qi also had impressive combat strength. Both of them had comprehended the profundity of powers, allowing them to maximize their respective element. Both had eight-star physiques, granting them a strength comparable to ninth-stage Soul Foundation Realm cultivators.
If they didn't have such strength, they wouldn't be qualified to be regarded as geniuses of their academies. If it wasn't for the fact that Wan Kaishan's side had more people, their opponents would have already suffered a complete defeat.
Wan Kaishan lost his patience and said to the two beside him, "You two, go take them down. Capture the two women alive. I'll let them suffer the consequences of offending me."
The two charged Ouyang Chuanqi and Han Chenfei.
Wan Kaishan looked at Xiang Shaoyun and said, "Since you dare to steal from my cousin, I'll cripple you."
After saying that, he charged forth and grabbed Xiang Shaoyun's throat. Wan Kaishan was a peak Soul Foundation Realm cultivator. He definitely had impressive combat strength. As he charged, his aura surrounded Xiang Shaoyun, not giving Xiang Shaoyun a chance to escape.
Beside Xiang Shaoyun, Tang Longfei and Zhuge Zhantian did not do anything to stop Wan Kaishan. Rather, they retreated while sneering. It was truly lamentable for Wan Kaishan that out of all the people present, he had picked Xiang Shaoyun as his opponent.
"Cousin, destroy that bastard!" Hu Ruhai cheered in excitement.
Just as Wan Kaishan's hand was about to reach Xiang Shaoyun's throat, Xiang Shaoyun moved. He activated the profundity of earth and created a powerful gravity field around him, forcefully slowing Wan Kaishan.
Wan Kaishan himself was an earth cultivator, but he had yet to comprehend the profundity of earth. Facing a gravity field, he could only resist with his body. With a vicious expression, he said, "Nothing can save you from me!"
"Idiot," said Xiang Shaoyun coldly as his hand shot out like a bolt of lightning. He grabbed Wan Kaishan's wrist and sent a kick out. Wan Kaishan couldn't even react when he was sent flying away.
He had not imagined that Xiang Shaoyun would be so strong. Only upon being sent flying did he realize he had provoked an enemy he couldn't defeat. Unfortunately for him, this was a mistake he couldn't recover from.
Like a specter, Xiang Shaoyun approached him. Before Wan Kaishan had even landed on the ground, Xiang Shaoyun kicked him again. With a unique exertion of force, he had kicked him toward Hu Ruhai like a ball.
Hu Ruhai had not imagined that his powerful cousin would be so useless before Xiang Shaoyun. He also hadn't imagined that Xiang Shaoyun would still be paying attention to him. He couldn't even react, and his cousin crashed into him, sending him flying away. Hu Ruhai was only a Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator. He couldn't withstand such an impact, and he started coughing blood.
However, the collision allowed Wan Kaishan to regain his balance. He glared at Xiang Shaoyun and roared, "You're dead!"
He mustered all his strength, and his body started enlarging. His muscles bulged, erupting with an alarming strength. A two-handed axe appeared in his hands. The earth quaked as he stepped forward and swung the axe at Xiang Shaoyun.
Mountain Cleaving Axe, seventh stance: Hacking Mountains and Splitting Earth!
A projection of a collapsing mountain appeared in the air, and the ground below them cracked, showcasing the might of this attack. Powerful soul marks appeared on his nine-layered soul foundation, emitting a boundless power that sealed Xiang Shaoyun's escape route, not giving him a chance to escape the attack.
An attack like this would be troublesome for any Soul Foundation Realm cultivator, but it was nothing for Xiang Shaoyun. Boundless lightning gathered around his fist as he threw a punch out. The destructive fist collided against the axe, instantly shattering the axe energy. The axe was sent flying from Wan Kaishan's hands while Wan Kaishan himself was blasted away by the lightning. With one hit, Wan Kaishan was defeated.
