The stars in Mi Shen’s radiant eyes were filled with absurdity as he coldly said, “Tang Luo, what are you playing at? Are you planning to kidnap Li Shaoyuan ’ again?”
Once one’s status reaches his level, a reputable course of action becomes critically important, even in battle. One should fight on legitimate grounds as it determines whether the clan will back them if anything goes awry. Thus, even though he was rather eager to fight right then, he had to disingenuously ask the question.
Smiling, Tang Luo waved at Mi Shen and raised his voice, “From the way you speak, it seems like I’m planning another kidnap. I intend to… kill him!” Perhaps he could forgive a villain who resorted to highway robbery out of desperation, but he could never forgive a bastard who would control a gang to attack innocent people just to make a bit more money.
For all the heinous deeds performed by the Righteous Gang over the past two years, which one wasn’t orchestrated by Li Shaoyuan behind the scenes? Could someone as simple-minded as Gong Zheng possibly come up with so many devious money-making schemes? Therefore, Li Shaoyuan must die, for he has crossed Tang Luo’s line.
Hearing these words, Li Shaoyuan’s face changed dramatically as he hurriedly pleaded to Mi Shen, ’Young Clan Leader, save me! ”
Mi Shen didn’t turn around, his face darkening as he said, ”1 wonder how you plan to take Li Shaoyuan’s life in my presence today!”
“You want to see it? Alright!” Tang Luo responded with a mysteriously mocking expression as he snapped his fingers.
With a clear snapping sound, a blue flame suddenly erupted over Li Shaoyuan who was bowing to Mi Shen, and shot into the sky. This startled Mi Shen, who retreated swiftly, so quickly it seemed that he left an afterimage of himself in his wake.
Ahhh — Li Shaoyuan let out a scream. In a span of a single breath the blue flame enveloped this ambitious strategist, causing him to roll around painfully on the ground.
“Shaoyuan!” Mi Hou’s eyes were almost popping with fury. As he attempted to rush forward to extinguish the spiritual fire on him, he was firmly held back by two warriors. They had witnessed the ferocity of the blue flame and wouldn’t allow Mi Hou to venture close.
In the crowd, two warriors stepped forward, extending their palms toward Li Shaoyuan. They unleashed a burst of icy momentum, hoping to stop the spread of the spiritual fire and save him.
The icy momentum burst forth like a water tap that couldn’t be turned off, but the flame, which should have been quickly extinguished, seemed to be fueled instead. It burned even more fiercely.
Amidst the chaos, Tang Luo lightly said whilst examining his fingertips “Don’t waste your efforts. A mortal realm martial artist hit by my nameless fire is surely fated to die.”
The nameless fire, a product of his pastime, indeed had many advantages. For instance, it was concealed and difficult to extinguish.
This technique, a fusion of a spell and spiritual fire, was perfect for surprise attacks. Whether it’s a mere mortal or a transcendent martial artist, without a powerful protective technique, they would be burned to ashes by the Nameless Fire’s spiritual flames.
The Nameless Fire fed on spiritual power. If Li Shaoyuan had retracted all his spiritual power to his Dantian when the spiritual flames ignited, the flames would have extinguished themselves after burning for a short while. The worst-case scenario was severe burns all over. Yet, being a martial artist, albeit one of low level, Li Shaoyuan vigorously stimulated his spiritual power when the spiritual flames burned. His spiritual power – ejected from his pores – served as fuel for the Nameless Fire. This was the real reason why the spiritual flames shot into the sky.
Li Shaoyuan, who had originally been rolling around on the ground, stopped moving. The blue spiritual flame on his body also disappeared, leaving behind only a charred body, with faint blue smoke coming off of it.
Shaoyuan ! Ahhh!!!” Seeing his chief minister reduced to a charred body, Mi Hou’s heart filled with sorrow and he was nearly in tears.
Gong Zheng hadn’t expected Tang Luo to decisively kill Li Shaoyuan like that. Panicked, he handed the child in his arms to his wife, hastily saying, “Take the child and run!”
The woman took the girl, quipped “be careful”, and then fled with the child.
The face of Mi Shen was never as gloomy as it is now, he didn’t expect that just as he had just promised to protect Li Shao Yuan, his supposed charge would die right in front of him.
This feeling of humiliation was something he had never experienced, and he felt a surge of rage churning within him. All he wanted to do was kill Tang Luo in rage. “Prepare the Combined Attack Technique!” He raised his arm high and commanded.
But before he could select his target, thousands of Invisible Sword Qi of the Innate Body Breaking technique rushed towards them. Mi Shen’s pupils constricted as he activated the Qingmu Battle Body. A bluish-green image emerged around his body, deflecting the copious Sword Qi.
The group of warriors who should have prepared the Combined Attack Technique also cut off their spiritual power for the technique, using their Spiritual Energy to dissipate the Invisible Sword Qi.
After all, these warriors were trained by the Mi Clan and knew how to deal with this sort of Sword Qi. Thousands of Sword Qi were scattered under the spiritual attack of these warriors, and they somehow remained unscathed.
Just from this, it was obvious that the overall quality of the Mi Clan’s warriors was many times higher than that of the four small families in West City However, to the World Walker of the Xu Clan, these were nothing.
Because these thousands of Sword Qi were just a warm-up. Xu Lao Ying’s eyes became cold as he prepared to launch dozens of Spiritual Swords for the attack, but Tang Luo grabbed his arm and gave him a look that suggested to hold back.
Respecting the promise he made before coming here, Xu Lao Ying could only turn his head indignantly and say, “They’ve already made their move. Can’t we retaliate?”
“I’m afraid you’d strike too hard and kill them…” Tang Luo replied helplessly.
Besides, the key is, they dare not make a move.”
“Nonsense, look, they are readying their Combined Attack Technique again!” Xu Lao Ying pointed at the group of warriors who had once again condensed. He couldn’t believe that they were preparing the Combined Attack Technique for merely deterrence.
Tang Luo replied with a relaxed face, “Look at Mi Shen’s disgruntled face. He should have recognized you.”
The combat experience of the martial artists from the noble family meant that the Metamorphosis Team of the Mi Clan would not stupidly stand still after fending off the Sword Qi. They quickly dispersed, each preparing their Combined Attack Technique, waiting for the command from Mi Shen at the front.
Judging by the loose positions of the Mi Clan’s team, it was almost impossible to interrupt everyone’s Combined Attack Technique. But, surprisingly, Mi Shen raised his hand to stop the release of the Combined Attack Technique. His face was gloomy, and his eyes were filled with wariness.
The scene suddenly became stalemate, with a repressive atmosphere spread in the air, making it hard for people to breathe.
But as for momentum, if you are not afraid of it, it’s as good as nothing. So, Tang Luo casually announced, “Before we start, allow me to introduce the ’ person standing next to me. He is the son of the Xu Clan of Yuanzhou, this generation’s World Walker. Mi Shen, by the looks of your heated aura, are you planning to kill him?”
A crisp phoenix chirp echoed through the heavens. Xu Lao Ying stood tall, holding the Emperor’s Void Phoenix sword ablaze with golden flames, a sharp sword intent soaring into the sky.
Since Mi Shen saw those thousands of Sword Qi, his face had become increasingly grave. With the acuity of the Mi Family’s Wind Media, although the Battle of the Plains was still shrouded in mist in the eyes of many clans, it was clear as day to the Mi Family.
They, too, from that battle, became acquainted with an unrivalled fierce man newly arrived in Xiling, the son of the Xu Clan from Yuanzhou, that arrogant swordsman who rode into the city on a Starmoon Coral Rhinoceros.
However, Li Shao Yuan died in front of him. If he couldn’t seek justice for him how would the warriors of the Mi Clan behind him view him? Mi Shen’s eyes ’ were firm, and his intent to kill was decided. “Tang Luo, you publicly killed Li Shao Yuan. It’s a provocation to my Mi Clan.. If I don’t seek justice for him, how can my Mi Clan stand in Xiling!”
