Chapter 1826: Resounding Face Slaps
Qin Hongyan was slapped across his ancient face.
He roared in fury, "Xiang Shaoyun, you're courting death, devil spawn!"
Qin Hongyan released a powerful aura and charged, grabbing at Xiang Shaoyun with both hands in an attempt to tear Xiang Shaoyun apart. Any super expert had powerful foundations. Qin Hongyan was no exception. He was a veteran of many battles. Although he had not fought for many years, he was able to move ferociously the moment he attacked.
Ge Yi did not say anything and watched coldly. He was aware that Xiang Shaoyun was probably no weaker than him now. He believed that Qin Hongyang would be the one to suffer. Xiang Shaoyun met the attack head on and threw a punch out. In the most brutish manner, he punched through the incoming palms, showcasing the might of his Primal Inception Physique.
Xiang Shaoyun did not intend to waste more time on Qin Hongyan. He unleashed a storm of attacks on Qin Hongyang and delivered his opponent a heavy beating. Xiang Shaoyun had not even fully absorbed the lotus seed and the divine essence in his body. Qin Hongyang was the best punching bag for him. Through this battle, he could slowly disperse the energy in his astral cosmos sea and spread it all over his body.
Qin Hongyan felt incredibly humiliated. He had not expected Xiang Shaoyun to be so terrifyingly strong. His offenses were completely useless. Instead, he was the one receiving a beating. A punch struck his face, a kick landed on his stomach…every single move was simple yet powerful, beating him into a pulp. The sight terrified Qin Jiu so much he trembled in fear.
"Old fart, I've had enough of you. You must be the culprit who stripped me of my qualification as a young guild master candidate, right? Don't think that I know nothing. But do you really think I care about that stupid position? Bah!" Xiang Shaoyun felt much more comfortable after beating Qin Hongyan up and venting his repressed anger.
Gongsun Yingxiong felt a chill creep up his spine when he saw Qin Hongyan receive such a terrible beating. It truly is as Sanyang said. This kid is the real deal. What a pity, sighed Gongsun Yingxiong inwardly.
If Xiang Shaoyun had been given more time, he might have been able to become the next Venerable Yuan Shi. Unfortunately, they did not have much time remaining. After beating up Qin Hongyan, Xiang Shaoyun shifted his attention to Qin Jiu, who was trying to slip away.
Pa! Pa!
Grabbing Qin Jiu's jacket with one hand, he slapped Qin Jiu tens of times while scolding, "Damnable bastard filled with tricks. How many times did you try to assassinate me? You really think I don't know it was you?"
Qin Jiu fearfully explained, "No, it has nothing to do with me! Release me! I'm the guild master!"
He was afraid that Xiang Shaoyun would really kill him in a fit of anger. Everything would be over for him if that was the case.
"Guild master? Wow, that's so amazing!" said Xiang Shaoyun with derision as he continued slapping. Then, he channeled a stream of overbearing power into Qin Jiu's body, completely destroying Qin Jiu's cultivation. At the same time, thick death energy spread all over Qin Jiu's body and started to slowly execute him.
Of course, this slow execution would not kill Qin Jiu immediately. He would still stay alive for a while. His strength would slowly drop as he eventually became crippled before ultimately dying. Xiang Shaoyun had no mercy to spare for someone who wanted him dead. He then tossed Qin Jiu aside as if throwing away trash.
Far away, the old immortal from the Immortal Road Chamber and the Guangling Palace's master looked on with astonishment. They had truly not expected a super genius to emerge from the younger generation. Not even they could compare with this youth.
"The young are truly slowly replacing the old," said the old immortal with a heavy sigh.
The Guangling Palace's master had a look of praise as she said, "This child is a perfect fit for Ziruo. If the two can get together, they will be a couple the heavens will envy."
Only the Celestial Alliance's master wore an unsightly expression. He did not dare to stay and hurriedly returned to the Celestial Alliance. He was planning to find a place and hide. If not, what was he supposed to do when Xiang Shaoyun came knocking for revenge?
"Ge Yi, are you going to allow your disciple to treat this old man and the new guild master like this?" questioned Qin Hongyan unhappily after reforming his body.
He was clear that, like Venerable Yuan Shi, Ge Yi was a just person. He believed that Ge Yi would uphold justice. But what he received was a heavy slap. Once again, his face was slapped into a pulp.
"You..." Qin Hongyan did not expect Ge Yi to attack as well.
"Stop throwing the weight of your seniority everywhere. If it wasn't for the little contribution you and Gongsun had made to the dominion, I would have destroyed the two of you long ago. A perfectly fine guild was turned into a mess by the two of you. After completely forgetting the basic tenets of the guild, you have the galls to lecture my disciple? You even stripped my disciple of his qualification as a young guild master candidate! You really think I have no temper?" said Ge Yi with a look of disgust.
Ge Yi's anger was reasonable. He might not want to fight for the guild master position, but that did not mean that he didn't want Xiang Shaoyun to take the position. However, Qin Hongyan and Gongsun Yingxiong were too selfish. Xiang Shaoyun was obviously an outstanding candidate, a perfect leader for the younger generation. However, they had insisted on driving him away. How could Ge Yi still hold his temper? Qin Hongyan did not dare to say anything else. With a bitter look, he left gloomily with Qin Jiu.
At this time, Gongsun Yingxiong stepped forth guiltily and said, "Ge Yi, your martial uncle is in the wrong."
"It's pointless to say that now. The dominion will be lost soon anyway," said Ge Yi bleakly.
"Senior brother, do you not even have a way out of this?" asked Wu Xie.
"I might be able to enter the Reincarnation Realm after absorbing the world root essence, but that would destroy the dominion. The countless life forms here will lose their home and die. How would that be different from being destroyed by the aliens?" said Ge Yi.
Everyone sank into silence. If that really happened, those at the Saint Realm and above might have a slight chance of surviving in outer space, but those below that realm would stand no chance.
"Therefore, the dominion is already lost," said Ge Yi.
"Senior brother, just break through. At the very least, you can deal the aliens a heavy blow and preserve some hope for humanity," said Wu Xie through clenched teeth.
Ge Yi shook his head and sighed, not saying anything else. Clearly, he didn't want to do that.
"Master, if you can ensure that everyone listens to me, I might be able to provide an alternative living space for everyone," said Xiang Shaoyun after some hesitation.
