Chapter 189: Someone Who Can Be Killed with Two Punches
The night was thick.
Countless men in black cowered timidly along the long street, following two figures, none daring to step forward.
One was chasing the other, the other fleeing. The man in front stumbled, drops of blood dripping from his black robe, leaving a clear streak on the road.
The man behind walked leisurely, as if strolling through the streets, following at a leisurely pace.
"Are we just going to watch?" A man in black on either side of the street observed the scene and whispered to someone they knew.
"Hush, are you trying to kill yourself?"
The man being questioned glanced cautiously at the black figure on the street before quickly pulling him back and whispering, "You don't know since you just arrived, but the commander-in-chief stepped forward to question him, but was knocked through by a light punch from the man behind him!"
As he spoke, he shuddered with fear, as if recalling that scene.
"Gudong!" The man in black swallowed silently, his eyes gleaming with horror as he exclaimed, "One punch? Isn't the Grand Commander at the peak of the Dou Ling realm?"
"So that's why! Do you think any of the city guards dare to step forward now?"
He gently patted his friend's shoulder and advised, "Your life is your own. Just follow the others and pretend. You only earn so little a month, there's no need to risk your life. If the sky falls, there are taller men to hold it up!"
Elsewhere, the taller man, as they were referring to him, stood at the highest point of the auction hall, gazing grimly at the scene on the street.
"Master, judging by Young Master Bu's appearance, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold out for much longer!" Chief Hu hunched over, cautiously glancing up at the middle-aged man in front of him, and whispered.
"You useless piece of shit! You caused such a commotion! Now you can't hide it even if you wanted to!" The middle-aged man slammed his palm on the windowsill in front of him, sending splinters flying. He shouted angrily.
Seeing two figures approaching the auction house entrance, one in front and one behind, he sneered, "Haha. So fearless, chasing people in the streets? Do you really think there's no one in my Eight Sects?"
A fierce murderous intent flashed in his eyes. After so many years in the Black Horn Territory, no one was a coward. Now that the matter was exposed, they had to fight swiftly.
Xiao Bai, strolling along, seemed to sense this murderous intent. He glanced up at the vague, imposing figure in the distance and smiled faintly.
Like a cat playing with a mouse, he continued to follow the frail figure in front.
A moment later, a magnificent building appeared before him. The two large characters "Black Seal" gleamed a cold light in the dim light from the sides.
"Haha! A distinguished guest has arrived. I'm sorry for not welcoming you!"
A hearty laugh echoed from the entrance of the Black Seal Auction House.
"Haha. Sect Master Yuan, please forgive me for my intrusive visit!"
a clear voice rang out. Xiao Bai, hands behind his back, leisurely emerged from the dark street.
"Haha. No wonder, no wonder!" Yuan Yi's face was full of smiles, but his eyes were devoid of laughter, only a coldness. He said, "I wonder how my son has offended the young master to provoke such a rage!"
Xiao Bai teased, "Master Yuan, don't you know?"
"I don't know!" Yuan Yi shook his head calmly. "Today, a valuable treasure of my Eight Gates was stolen. I've been working tirelessly to find the thief!"
"Foster father, the treasure is with this man. He's the thief!" a weak, hoarse voice interrupted.
"Shut up!" Yuan Yi shouted angrily. "This young master is a rare talent, so dignified and impressive. How could he be the thief?"
Then, changing the subject, he gritted his teeth and said, "It must be this young master who killed that despicable thief and helped my Eight Gates recover the treasure!"
"Please return the treasure. The entire Eight Gates will be grateful!"
"Tsk tsk. Interesting, interesting!" Xiao Bai looked at the surprised eyes around him and clapped his hands and smiled.
This Yuan Yi actually knew how to occupy the greater good, wanting both fame and fortune. Even in the chaotic Black Horn Region, one should not underestimate the reputation. Even the most evil people prefer to deal with people with good reputations.
And it seems that he has him in his arms. Only living people can bring him benefits.
He is even more certain that he will not make excuses, because once the little golden dragon is taken out and spread in the Black Horn Region, although Yuan Yi's plan will fail, he, Xiao Bai, will also be in endless trouble.
What a good plan!
"I do have something on me that can be called a treasure. Master Yuan, please describe its appearance in detail and let me confirm it!" A hint of amusement flashed in Xiao Bai's eyes.
"If you really want me to tell you!" Yuan Yi's face changed and darkened.
I didn't expect that this kid would have no scruples and want to make the matter of the golden dragon public in public!
"Speak!" Xiao Bai's smile faded, his eyes sharp and disdainful. He said, "You're returning the Eight Gates' precious treasures, and you don't even pee to look at them. You're not worthy!"
"You..." Yuan Yi's anger surged. It had been so many years since he founded the Eight Gates. How many years hadn't someone dared to point his nose at him and scold him like this?
His Dou Qi suddenly surged, his pressure was undeniable. Those around him suddenly felt their breathing was suffocated and they retreated frantically.
"What do you mean by you? You're just a three-star Dou Huang. If it weren't for this injury, you could be killed with two punches. How dare you covet Xiao's things!"
Xiao Bai's robes rustled in the strong wind brought by this pressure, but his body remained as majestic as a mountain, unshaken.
"Haha."
Yuan Yi laughed in anger, his aura intensifying. His tone was both angry and playful as he shouted, "What a shame! You're so severely injured now, your breath is weak. I want to see how you can kill me with just two punches!"
"Die, you little brat!"
With that, Yuan Yi stretched out one hand, forming a claw. Violent energy waves emanated from it. His body left a trail of afterimages, and in an instant, he arrived.
He fiercely grasped Xiao Bai's heart.
A gust of wind whipped against his face, his black hair flying. Xiao Bai watched the claw marks approaching. Without hesitation, he clenched his fist and swung it out with a piercing sonic boom.
Claw and fist collided fiercely in the air.
"Bang!"
A massive explosion echoed through the silent, empty street, sending those watching from afar into a tizzy, and they quickly covered their ears.
Ripples of air, seemingly tangible, rapidly spread outward, impacting the houses, causing them to shake and tiles to fall.
Under the tense gaze of the crowd, the smoke and dust slowly settled, and both figures seemed to take a few steps back.
"What a strong body!"
Yuan Yi put his hands behind his back, a trace of shock and solemnity flashed in his eyes. He could sense that there was no energy fluctuation on the young man's body, which meant that he did not use his fighting spirit.
He felt a tingling sensation on his hand. The bones of the arm of the hand that had just formed a claw were broken.
"Cough cough." Xiao Bai coughed twice and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth calmly. The tendons in his body that had just begun to heal felt a tearing pain.
Now he could only rely on his physical body to fight the enemy, because all the fighting spirit energy in his body had been exhausted after using the Thunder Dragon Split Sky Move in the magma underground.
"Damn Lizardman!"
He cursed in his heart. The underground pressure made his meridians so fragile that he dared not use too much strength. Otherwise, with his physical body, he could beat Yuan Yi half to death with just that punch!
"You are indeed very strong, but if you only have physical strength, you will probably die here today!"
"When I think about being able to hunt down such a genius, my heart seems to be very happy, and I can't wait!"
Although Yuan Yi's eyes were solemn, his tone was very relaxed and confident.
"Haha. You're not qualified to mess with my mind!" Xiao Bai shook his head in disdain.
"There are many people in this world who can kill me, but you are the most presumptuous!"
"Haha. Then give it a try!"
Yuan Yi laughed heartily. His majestic figure moved, and a pair of energy wings shimmered with yellow light. He drew a ghost-headed broadsword from his ring. The blade was thick and heavy, and a sharp cold light flashed on the edge.
He soared into the sky and hovered in mid-air, holding the sword with both hands. Energy from his body gathered frantically, continuously pouring into the blade.
The blade hummed, and the light flashed rapidly for a moment. After a few moments, a sword light several feet long, piercing the sky, appeared in the air.
Xiao Bai's face darkened as he felt the terrifying pressure rising from the air.
Did Yuan Yi think he was a wandering chicken?
"Slash through the air!"
The snow-white sword light, flashing with a sharp coldness, slashed down towards Xiao Bai on the ground.
As the blade's light pressed down, Xiao Bai felt a faint pain, like a knife's slash.
"Heavenly Frost Fist!"
Xiao Bai's body felt like a furnace, surging with scorching blood and energy. A red mist curled around the area several feet in radius. He raised his fist and swung it fiercely, colliding with the blade's light overhead.
"Crack!"
As if unable to withstand the pressure, the black stone ground beneath his feet suddenly cracked and turned into stone powder. Xiao Bai's knees sank into the earth.
"Boom!"
The three-story house behind him was sliced in half by the blade's tip, like tofu, and then, shaken by the energy, collapsed with a loud bang.
Everyone looked at the vast ravine stretching for hundreds of meters in front of the auction hall, their faces pale. Is this the power of a Dou Huang?
"What a powerful blow! That man should be dead, right?"
"To face such a powerful blow head-on, even if he doesn't die, it must be very painful!"
As they discussed, the smoke and dust on the long street cleared.
A figure, nearly half sunk into the earth, remained motionless. A wave of doubt filled their hearts. Had the sect leader truly slain them with a single blow?
"Ahem! You deserved to die!" a voice as cold as ice rang out faintly.
Xiao Bai swallowed the blood in his mouth and gazed at the fragments of inner armor on the ground, a flicker of anger in his eyes.
This was the inner armor Yunzhi had given him. It hadn't shattered even in the magma beneath the earth, but now, due to a careless mistake, it had shattered here!
Pulling his legs free from their entrapment, Xiao Bai stood up and reached out, carefully gathering the fragments from the ground.
Then, with a flick of his sleeve, a flash of golden light flew out, swallowed by him before anyone could react.
Then, the figure, whose aura was ethereal and devoid of any energy, suddenly gained a stronger aura.
A faint rumble of thunder emanated from its body, and suddenly, everyone saw a multicolored light emanate from Xiao Bai's body, arcs of lightning dancing across his form like spirits.
Yuan Yi watched the young man's aura rise, his heart trembling with fear, as if something unforeseen and terrifying was about to happen.
Without time to think, he raised the heavy sword in his hand again, and the energy in his body surged wildly, pouring into the sword.
No matter what he was going to do, he had to strike first. If the person was dead, no matter how many trump cards he had, it would matter.
"Sky-Severing, Earth-Splitting Slash!"
As the sword flashed, the young man on the ground stretched out a hand, and a golden spear appeared in his hand, thunder surging from it.
"Thunder Dragon Splits the Sky!"
The spear tip, reflecting a cold light, pointed directly at the sword light in the sky.
"This guy is crazy! Just pointing a gun like this will do nothing. It's better to use fists like before!"
"That's right. All this fuss, it's useless!"
Yuan Yi's face relaxed slightly, and he looked at the young man with the gun pointed at him in confusion, wondering what he was going to do.
Just as everyone was in disagreement, a faint dragon roar echoed, accompanied by a thunderous roar like the power of heaven.
An illusory dragon head, ablaze with multicolored lightning, emerged from the spear's tip.
"Ang!"
A thunderous roar rose to the heavens, and the dragon's head struggled with all its might, leaping from the spear as if freed from its fetters.
At that moment, everyone in the city heard this terrifying roar, and even the more timid ones felt their hearts tremble.
"Ang!"
Another hearty dragon roar echoed. A nimble figure several feet long, meandering through the air, streaking through wisps of multicolored light, ascending towards the blade's gleam.
A massive blade's light whistled down from the sky, and a multicolored thunder dragon several feet long soared into the air. The onlookers from afar gaped in amazement at the sight of such a spectacle.
As it approached the blade's light, its thick, nimble claws, gleaming with lightning, extended, colliding fiercely with it.
"Bang!"
Amidst a flash of lightning, a resounding explosion echoed. The sharp blade's path through the air abruptly stopped, as if it had struck a steel wall, leaving the Thunder Dragon's claws untouched.
As if possessed of intelligence, the Thunder Dragon halted its long blade's downward trajectory, then clenched its five claws like scimitars. With the sound of thunder, cracks spread amidst the blade's gleaming crackle.
Finally, before Yuan Yi's astonishment, the blade shattered into pieces.
"Ang!"
Another resounding dragon roar echoed. The Thunder Dragon's tail swung, streaking with multicolored light before it appeared before the stunned Yuan Yi.
Before he could react, the dragon's body pierced through Yuan Yi's chest and vanished.
"Puff!"
A gulp of blood spurted out. Yuan Yi stared in disbelief at the gaping hole in his chest, as if pierced by a spear, leaving him completely transparent.
"Master!"
Three Dou Wang auras appeared from afar, watching the majestic figure fall like a bird with broken wings, and exclaimed in disbelief.
"The Eight Gates are finished! Black Horn Territory is about to fall into chaos!"
Some spies from other factions, hiding in the shadows and observing the scene, were stunned for a moment before shaking their heads.
"Indeed! Without Yuan Yi in charge, Black Seal City, this lucrative piece of meat, is likely to be the subject of renewed conflict!"
"Have you forgotten that the man who killed Yuan Yi is still around? Judging from his tone, anyone who enters Black Seal City would have to think twice before attacking Black Horn Territory!"
Xiao Bai stood in front of the auction hall. Although a little exhausted, he remained erect, his expression insolent, making everyone around him very wary.
"Haha." A hoarse, unpleasant voice suddenly burst into laughter. It struggled to its feet and walked towards Yuan Yi, who had fallen from the sky, his eyes wide open.
"Dad! He's dead, he's finally dead! Did you see that?"
Xiao Bai watched the scene with a cold gaze. Not far behind him, a shadow suddenly shifted, wriggling and rising, transforming into a ghostly figure. It bowed and said, "Ling Ying, hello, Master!"
