Chapter 550: Chapter 548: Frenzied Threat
"Arrogant, aren’t you? Weren’t you being so arrogant just now? Try acting arrogant for me again!"
Chi Ling let out a twisted, savage laugh, intoxicated with his own triumph.
Over a hundred puppets—this was his trump card.
Xu Yang had practically driven him mad with rage. They’d already reached the Chi Xue Dao Field, and Xu Yang still dared to act this wildly before him?
"Brat, kneel and beg for mercy right now. If I’m in a generous mood, maybe I’ll spare your miserable life." Chi Ling sneered arrogantly, watching the grim look on Xu Yang’s face—inside, he was savoring the moment to the fullest.
Now you finally know fear?
Too late!
"Make me kneel to you? Do you even deserve that honor?"
Xu Yang’s gaze was icy and menacing: "A mere lackey like you, so brazen—does your master know?"
Chi Ling exploded with rage: "What the fuck are you? You dare insult me? My master’s affairs are none of your concern!"
"Ignorant piece of shit, I’ll make you wish you were dead, unable to live or die!"
"Kill!"
Chi Ling was seething, no longer holding back—his order was absolute.
Boom!
Over a hundred puppets erupted at once, stirring a storm that ripped through the air. The overwhelming Evil Qi that blanketed heaven and earth was torn asunder as killing intent surged mightily, closing in on Xu Yang from every angle.
The scene left Shi Hu’s soul frozen, terror forcing him to withdraw.
"Hmph!"
Xu Yang let out a cold snort, summoning out the Celestial Refining Divine Tripod like lightning.
Shhh!!
Fifteen Life Fire Elixirs forged from Minghuo, along with dozens of newly condensed Evil Elixirs, shot forth like arrows, hovering above the Divine Tripod and emanating an astonishing murderous aura.
At the same time, he didn’t hesitate to once more resonate with the Tripod of Heaven and Earth.
This time, all the way to the limit!
Xu Yang grunted—a muffled sound, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.
Vicious Evil Qi surged outward, making his very bones feel thunderstruck—pain beyond endurance.
But he ignored it completely, his chilling gaze locked onto Chi Ling.
Whoosh!
That terrifying, ancient Evil Qi spilled out from his very pores—the kind of presence that threatened to bury all of creation.
Chi Ling’s scalp went numb.
"Stop!"
A thunderous shout fell suddenly from the sky.
Xue Sheng tore through the clouds of Evil Qi, revealing himself—at a single thought, he commanded every puppet to halt.
His expression was grave as he looked at Xu Yang.
That ominous aura left him deeply uneasy.
"Stop what?"
Xu Yang sneered. "A hundred puppets, sure, that’s impressive. But I’d like to see how many can withstand my Evil Elixirs, let alone the assault of this Evil Qi!"
"You have a death wish."
Even at this point, Xu Yang didn’t flinch—the sight of it made Chi Ling’s whole body shake with fury.
Xue Sheng’s face was equally grim,
but it was laced with wariness.
Though those Evil Elixirs were formidable, they couldn’t threaten that many puppets just yet.
But the ancient Evil Qi radiating from Xu Yang was utterly indescribable.
Especially when seen from above—the Evil Qi faces and banners from earlier had been shattered instantly by the torrent coming from Xu Yang’s body.
If that force truly erupted...the Evil Qi clouds here would be annihilated!
The loss of the puppets would be incalculable!
If the Dao Master found out...
"No matter what, you won’t be spared today. Afterward, the Dao Master might punish me, but you—you’ll die here!" Chi Ling growled lowly.
"Shut up!"
Xue Sheng snapped coldly.
He turned to Xu Yang. "If you want to unleash that Evil Qi within you, you’ll pay a hefty price!"
"Apologize and admit your fault now, and this ends here!"
Xu Yang heard this and couldn’t help but mock, a sarcastic laugh escaping him: "Who broke the rules first, I wonder?"
The two lackeys’ faces darkened at once.
Boom!
Xu Yang abruptly began forming incantation seals.
Spirit Fire burst from his body, engulfing heaven and earth, merging together every dimension.
In a few blinks, hundreds and then thousands of layers of the Universe stacked and swirled within the raging Spirit Fire.
The fifteen Life Fire Elixirs hummed in unison, each releasing ancient Evil Qi ripples—crisscrossing, swirling, threatening to bury everything beneath heaven and earth.
This staggering momentum made both lackeys’ faces pale drastically.
The power of these Evil Elixirs exceeded all expectations.
"This alone isn’t enough!" Chi Ling’s eyes flashed with shock—but he gritted his teeth and sneered anyway.
"Really?"
Xu Yang smiled faintly, swallowing back the taste of blood rising in his throat, before suddenly snarling low.
Boom!
His skin cracked, his very body strained to its limit by the ancient Evil Qi’s assault.
Puff! Puff! Puff!!
Streams of ancient Evil Qi erupted uncontrollably, pouring into the universe forged by Spirit Fire.
Whoosh!
Boom!
It was as if wind fanned the flames—the Universe twisted and convulsed, radiating waves of terror that made the heavens shudder beneath the entangled Evil Qi.
Above, the vast clouds of Evil Qi shuddered violently. They couldn’t withstand even this faint glimmer of ancient Evil Qi!
Xu Yang glared at the two, unleashing the Tripod of Heaven and Earth unceasingly, surges of Evil Qi exploding outward.
The sheer, indescribable pressure made both men’s bodies run cold, as if plunged deep into a frozen abyss!
"This Evil Qi... damn it!"
"He really is insane!"
"If it explodes, the Evil Qi clouds will collapse—this whole place..."
"Even if the puppets could restrain him, most would be destroyed, maybe even alert the Dao Master!"
Meeting Xu Yang’s manic gaze, Chi Ling’s eyes twitched uncontrollably—his mouth went dry, and for a moment he couldn’t utter a single threat!
"Enough!"
Xue Sheng’s face was ashen. He couldn’t be bothered to scold Chi Ling anymore, focusing his will instead.
All the puppets retreated in unison, vanishing like lightning into the wilderness!
"This ends here!"
"Go any further and not even you could bear the consequences!"
"What’s the rush?"
Xu Yang grinned savagely, finally holding nothing back.
Spurt!
He coughed up a mouthful of blood on the spot, popped a few elixirs, then threw his head back and roared to the sky.
Clang!
The Divine Tripod quaked. The worlds within shuddered as if struck by lightning, phantom chains rattling wildly along its surface.
Roar!
In that instant, it was as if an ancient will had awakened—its roar reverberated through their souls.
A will far fiercer than any previous Evil Qi surged out of the Divine Tripod in tidal waves.
It was a terrifying, rolling maelstrom.
Crack!
The Evil Elixirs couldn’t bear the force—they shattered one after another, unleashing storms of unbridled violence.
Xu Yang fought desperately to suppress it, but even a thousand layers of Spirit Fire Universe were barely enough.
Only the fifteen Life Fire Elixirs continued to hold their form, barely absorbing the Evil Qi.
Sweat broke out in bright streams across Chi Ling’s ghastly face, making him stumble back several steps, terror plain in his eyes.
"Maniac, maniac!"
Xue Sheng’s scalp prickled—if this went any further, disaster was inevitable.
The two of them couldn’t possibly contain it, and the aftermath wouldn’t be limited to just the Dao Master’s punishment!
Plus, the Blood Ming Divine Sparrow was about to awaken.
Enraging that lord would end far, far worse!
Shit!
At that moment, Xue Sheng wished he could slap Chi Ling to death.
"What the hell do you want?" Xue Sheng gritted out, suppressing his fear in a low, hoarse growl.
Xu Yang’s lips curled into a faint smile. He spoke slowly: "I suffered such injustice here—and I’m this badly wounded. Don’t you at least owe me some compensation?"
"Y-you—you have the guts to ask for compensation?" Chi Ling’s eyes nearly popped from his head.
Xu Yang sneered: "You take this to any corner of the Spirit Realm and I’d be in the right!"
"Without at least a hundred drops of Divine Demon Blood, we’re not done here!"
"What did you say?"
At that demand, Xue Sheng’s scalp instantly went numb!
A hundred drops of Divine Demon Blood?
Are you fucking kidding me?!
Off in the distance, Shi Hu heard this and shuddered from head to toe!
So this was what you were waiting for!
A hundred drops of Divine Demon Blood...
Gulp.
Shi Hu swallowed hard.
Xu Yang—you’re ruthless, all right. Ruthless enough to open your lion’s mouth wide!
