Chapter 1796: Slapping The Powerhouse
Celestial Alliance's master.
That was an incredible individual. He wouldn't have been able to establish a superpower like the Celestial Alliance otherwise. The figure who had appeared was only one of his clones, but it had enough strength to suppress even a peak God. Perhaps it was even stronger than regular Nine Revolutions Realm experts.
When the Celestial Alliance members knelt down, the distant observers all retreated farther away with reverence in their eyes. This person was one of the nine powerhouses. Even a clone of such a person was worthy of being idolized.
When the alliance master appeared, with a casual wave of his hand, he pulled out the three nails pinning the envoys onto the cliff. The three knelt down before the alliance master and complained about their suffering.
The alliance master ignored them. Rather, he gazed toward the Ziling Sect. When he saw the sect's incorporeal power, astonishment flickered in his eyes. He then stepped forth in midair, arriving before the sect. He said, "Not only do you have the incorporeal power of a tier-9 organization, but you are even forming the embryo of a tier-10 organization. Not bad at all, Ziling Sect."
He then grabbed at the purple energy above the sect, attempting to erase the purple energy entirely. That was an extremely sinister move. The moment the purple energy was removed, the fortune and foundation of the Ziling Sect would be greatly affected.
Right this moment, a figure rushed over and threw a ferocious punch at the alliance master. That punch was imposing and domineering, seemingly capable of crushing all living beings.
Nine Divine Transformative Fist!
That was Tan Xinji's fist technique. The attack forced the alliance master to shift his attack to meet the punch.
Boom!
The explosion was deafening, but not many shockwaves were actually created from it. Both combatants had controlled their strength flawlessly. The fist energy was crushed by the palm, but that did not signify Tan Xinji's defeat. He threw eighty-one punches in a row that contained nine different variations, flooding the sky with the afterimages of his fists.
In a calm and unruffled manner, the alliance master unleashed several palm attacks, erasing all of the punches. Then, a sparkling palm flew past all the punches and landed on Tan Xinji's chest.
Tan Xinji coughed up blood and was sent flying far away. He was a Three Revolutions expert, yet he couldn't even defeat a mere clone of the alliance master's. One could only imagine how terrifying the alliance master was.
"Ziling Sect, it is surprising how capable you are. Even the grand elder of the Divine Fist Sect has submitted to you, but he alone won't be enough to face me," said the alliance master with derision. Once again, he grabbed at the purple energy. Evidently, he wasn't about to give up on his goal.
Right that moment, a figure appeared noiselessly and blocked the palm.
"Old fart, you tried to mess with our foundation the moment you came? Are you tired of living?" roared the newcomer in an overbearing manner.
The distant observers were greatly frightened, while the Celestial Alliance members were all alarmed. They all knew that their alliance master's authority was not to be challenged. Someone was actually shouting at their alliance master. That person was simply too brave.
One ought to remember that he was shouting to one of the dominion's nine powerhouses. The person shouting was none other than Xiang Shaoyun. Similarly, Xiang Shaoyun was using only his clone. Of course, he was the only person here with the courage to shout at one of the nine powerhouses.
The alliance master gazed at Xiang Shaoyun with his hazy eyes. A ruminating look flickered in those eyes as he said, "What an interesting kid. Not even your master would dare to speak like this to me."
"Of course my master won't say anything to you. He will slap you instead," said Xiang Shaoyun as he aimed a slap at the alliance master's face.
The alliance master's eyes flickered as he hurriedly stepped back. However, he was too slow and was slapped across his face.
Pa!
The sound was crisp as though it had landed on the alliance master's main body, not a clone. Everyone heard it clearly. And everyone was stunned. What an incredible man.
Xiang Shaoyun even pressed forth to deliver even more slaps to the alliance master.
There was a saying that one should never hit the face in a fight, but Xiang Shaoyun obviously did not intend to follow that principle. The alliance master raged. His entire body shone as he engaged Xiang Shaoyun with his powerful palm attacks.
"Today, I won't stop until the Ziling Sect is erased!" roared the furious alliance master.
Although the alliance master was only here as a clone, having his clone slapped was basically the same as having his main body slapped.
"Old fart, even if your main body was here, you stand no chance. Just see what I'm going to do to you," said Xiang Shaoyun with a strong tone. He mustered all his strength, unleashing a far greater strength than Tan Xinji and the alliance master's clone.
Pa! Pa!
Xiang Shaoyun attacked rapidly, swatting away the alliance master's palm attacks while also slapping the alliance master repeatedly. The alliance master became increasingly sullen. He was a great powerhouse. He stood at the top of the dominion, yet he was being suppressed to such an extent by a junior. But there wasn't anything he could do either. He could defeat Tan Xinji, but he couldn't defeat Xiang Shaoyun.
Ultimately, he could only issue some threats, "Little bastard, just you wait. When my main body comes, you will be destroyed for real. I'll skin you alive!"
It was unknown if the clone was exhausted of energy or if it was the alliance master's doing, but the clone faded into nothingness after those words were uttered.
The Celestial Alliance people panicked. They hurriedly turned around to flee. However, a massive palm dropped down from the sky before they could run. They were all crushed, whereas their war chariot was grabbed.
"The Ziling Sect just happens to be lacking these toys to show off our might. This overlord will gladly accept this gift from you," said Xiang Shaoyun with a smile.
The distant observers wiped their cold sweat and retreated as far as they could. A person so aggressive and powerful would be able to crush them all with a single attack. The Celestial Alliance people were taken prisoners, and none of them managed to escape.
News that the Celestial Alliance's master was slapped rapidly spread throughout the dominion. Everyone was shocked by Xiang Shaoyun's courage, and everyone also realized that the Celestial Alliance would not let this slide.
Sure enough, calls to flatten the Ziling Sect appeared within the Celestial Alliance. However, the Ziling Sect provided no response. Nobody knew what the rumored aggressive overlord was thinking, but their lack of response had instead hastened the submission of other Western Desert organizations to the Ziling Sect.
