Chapter 332 - Conflict
The battle royale was at its finale in the water region with less than 10 people left!
Apart from Ji Chengtian of Ethereal Peak who was watching from afar, the remaining few four meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivators had given their all for the last spot.
Shen Mengqi was injured. While it was not serious, she did not have the time to treat her wounds and blood was flowing continuously. Coupled with the lack of stamina and her spirit energy depleted, she could not hold on any longer.
“Hais.”
She sighed softly.
Although she was unwilling, her life was more important. She could only crush the escape jade talisman and leave the Five Elements Umbrella helplessly.
When she returned to the square, Shen Mengqi hurriedly took out a few elixirs from her storage bag and swallowed them. She then scattered some hemostatic medicine and bandaged her wounds.
Throughout the entire process, her lips were pursed in silence.
Everyone looked over and saw the Blood Crow King walk slowly towards the spectator area. He exuded a terrifying aura as he fixed his gaze on Su Zimo and hissed coldly, “I’m taking him with me!”
“No!”
Xuan Yi slammed the table and stood up without hesitation.
“Hmm?”
The Blood Crow King’s gaze flickered as he reached out with his withered palm and grabbed toward Xuan Yi through the void.
A terrifying burst of energy burst forth from the void!
Demonic qi surged into the sky as a withered and bloody claw appeared, clawing at Xuan Yi ruthlessly.
At the spectator area, many Golden Cores felt a chill.
That energy was way too strong and had already surpassed the limits of spirit energy!
That was a true Dharmic art!
That cultivator known as Xue Ya was actually a fiend demon at Nascent Soul realm!
At the thought of that, everyone was even more shocked.
It was one thing for a fiend demon to appear in the capital, but for him to actually attack right in front of the emperor… What sort of guts and backing did he possess?!
Xuan Yi’s face turned pale.
He was almost powerless against that pressure.
Furthermore, that claw of the Blood Crow King had sealed all of his escape routes!
Zeng! Zeng! Zeng!
Gritting his teeth, Xuan Yi struck out forcefully against the might of the fiend demon and pulled out six flying swords from his storage bag. He guided with his finger and swiftly produced a star-shaped sword formation.
Hexagonal Sword Formation!
Even though Xuan Yi did not manage to cultivate a Golden Core phenomenon, his Hexagonal Sword Formation was enough to compensate and put him on the same level as those who did.
“Go!”
He pointed forward.
The Hexagonal Sword Formation burst forth with endless sword qi and charged violently towards the blood-colored claw.
“Hehe, you overestimate yourself!”
The Blood Crow King let out a cold laugh as he clenched the claw.
Splash!
Instantly, Xuan Yi’s Hexagonal Sword Formation was torn to pieces by the Blood Crow King and the six superior-grade flying swords were snapped on the spot, falling to the ground.
The difference was too great!
The gap between a Golden Core and Nascent Soul was something that was almost impossible to cross.
“Bastard, how dare you!”
Suddenly, a roar burst forth from the spectator area; it was like a great bell and possessed boundless majesty.
A gigantic fist appeared in midair and smashed heavily against the Blood Crow King’s palm.
Boom!
The two Dharmic arts clashed and dissipated suddenly while the surrounding Golden Cores fell to the ground with frightful faces from the aftershock.
It was the emperor who had struck to stop the Blood Crow King.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk!”
The Blood Crow King gave a sympathetic smile as he glared at the emperor. “Ji Fang, don’t be a busybody. Otherwise, your Great Zhou Dynasty is going to be destroyed because of this! There are some people that you can’t afford to offend even if you’re the emperor of a dynasty!”
