Chapter 2036: Chapter 2041: Doomed to Disaster
"And what if it’s me?"
Xia Liu chuckled coldly, recalling the time in the Extreme Cold Secret Realm.
Why was Zhuang Bifan’s cultivation entirely destroyed? Hadn’t he ever thought it through carefully?
Is it only permissible for him to ambush and kill others?
But others aren’t allowed to fight back?
Just because he had a Golden Core Stage cultivator protecting him, could he do as he pleased?
Humph!
In front of Xia Liu, you may be unreasonable, but you cannot trample on the bottom line!
"Today, you have no chance of escape!"
Zhuang Bifan said word by word.
"Young Master Zhuang, at least give a reason for killing, right?"
Qingcheng suddenly spoke up.
In this muddled situation, Xia Liu was about to face the Zhuang Family.
With his Golden Core Stage cultivation, how could he possibly survive?
"He cut down my family’s elder! Destroyed my energy body! Is this reason not sufficient?"
Zhuang Bifan roared at Qingcheng.
"I believe that for him to ruin your energy body, there must have been some misunderstanding."
Qingcheng knew very well that Xia Liu was full of Haoran Righteous Energy.
How could he kill someone without a reason?
This doesn’t align with his path.
"Fairy Qingcheng, there is no misunderstanding in this. The Zhuang Family people couldn’t tolerate us loose cultivators because of their noble status; I merely resisted a bit, who knew he was so weak that a single touch would scatter him."
...
Listening to Xia Liu’s words.
The cultivators present held their breaths.
What he said might be true.
The Zhuang Family, being a leading second-rate power in the Myriad Realms.
Could be likened to nobility in the Cultivation Realm.
They hold high status.
But the latter part of his statement was clearly unwise.
Right in front of the Zhuang Family Nascent Soul cultivators, wasn’t this a direct slap in the face?
If Xia Liu was originally destined for ruin, now he wouldn’t even qualify for reincarnation!
"Very well! Very well!"
Zhuang Fei inadvertently revealed a smile!
A death-like smile!
If today Xia Liu is not slain, if his soul is not extracted and refined!
Then Zhuang Fei would not be worthy of the surname Zhuang!
"Sect Master Zhuang, seal his energy body, abolish his foundation, leave him to me, let me tear off his flesh and blood bite by bite!"
Hiss...
Zhuang Bifan’s words made everyone present gasp in shock.
Such a method was not only cruel but also revolting!
What deep-seated hatred would drive one to such lengths.
Evidently, Zhuang Bifan’s hatred for Xia Liu cut to his very soul!
"Alright!"
"Young Master Zhuang has quite the taste, but doesn’t your Zhuang Family division only have this one Nascent Soul Stage cultivator?"
Xia Liu asked with interest.
"How many Nascent Soul cultivators do you think it takes to crush your foundation and seal your soul consciousness?"
Zhuang Fei scoffed.
"I’m not sure how many it requires, but you alone can’t handle me!"
"Boasting!"
Zhuang Fei lost his composure.
Just how arrogant must Xia Liu be to say such words.
The cultivators present were equally taken aback.
Xia Liu, a young-looking cultivator, whose energy body couldn’t be sensed.
Could he really have Nascent Soul Stage cultivation?
Could it be that he planned to bluff Zhuang Fei and escape during the chaos?
Heh...
Everyone’s hearts filled with cold laughter.
Did Xia Liu really think Nascent Soul Stage cultivators were naive children?
If this tactic could deceive the other party.
Then all the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators in the world wouldn’t survive.
While everyone was speculating, a young girl quietly pushed a wooden chair and left.
As soon as everyone saw this, they hastily retreated.
Qingcheng, feeling helpless, also stepped back.
However, they did not go far.
Xia Liu facing off against Zhuang Fei.
Even if Xia Liu’s foundation reached the Golden Core Stage.
What chances did he have to win this life-and-death duel?
Boom!
Just as everyone was imagining, a deep rumbling erupted from within Zhuang Fei’s body.
Instantly, the entire resting area burst into fragments.
Amidst the desolate debris, only an elderly man and a young man remained in opposition.
"Unleash your full capability, just one strike! After one strike, you will have no foundation left!"
Xia Liu glanced at Zhuang Fei with contempt.
Now, facing an Early-Stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
He felt no trace of tension.
Especially after he had slain Qi Yun with his strength.
Xia Liu was brimming with confidence.
At that time, he merged the Five Elements Origin with the Taiqing Sword’s power to slice through Qi Yun’s physical form.
Today, Xia Liu intended to amplify his strength, using all his might.
So that even Zhuang Fei’s Nascent Soul wouldn’t escape!
Under the watchful eyes of all, Xia Liu extracted the Flowing Fire Sword.
Instantly, the Fire Attribute spread within a hundred miles radius.
"A decent Supreme-Grade Dharma Artifact, but your power is pitifully weak. Pray that you won’t be slain by a single move of mine!"
Zhuang Fei shook his head helplessly.
Zhuang Bifan instructed him to keep Xia Liu alive.
For him, that was truly a challenge...
After all, killing a Golden Core Stage was just too easy.
"Heh..."
Amidst the cold laughter, Xia Liu’s foundation erupted, a Golden Core Late Stage aura swept out like an endless stream!
This power, coupled with the Supreme-Grade Dharma Artifact Flowing Fire Sword, could confront an Early-Stage Nascent Soul cultivator!
The onlookers sensed all this.
Their breaths became rapid.
Especially those late-stage Golden Core cultivators who had mocked Xia Liu and vowed to teach him a lesson.
Now it seemed.
Xia Liu, daring to confront a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.
Where would they find the courage to face him?
Moreover, the artifact he wielded could already overwhelm them!
"Good heavens! It’s actually the Golden Core Late Stage!"
Qinghong couldn’t help but marvel.
He initially thought Xia Liu had a young and handsome appearance.
Even if he had a Golden Core Stage realm, it would only be around the early stage.
But it turned out to be the peak of the late stage!
This fellow must have been cultivating right from his mother’s womb...
"Don’t speak, just watch silently."
Qingcheng’s spiritual eyes remained fixed on Xia Liu, without shifting for even a second.
She had a hunch that at this moment, Xia Liu was just the tip of the iceberg!
"Humph!"
With a disdainful snort, Zhuang Fei unleashed his divine sense in an attempt to suppress Xia Liu with the might of his realm.
Upon realizing its futility.
He instantly deployed his Nascent Soul Stage might, gathering strength.
Absorbing nature’s spiritual energy from all directions, intending to smash Xia Liu’s body with one strike!
Xia Liu, witnessing this, raised his right hand high with a palm directed to the heavens: "Peerless Technique, Energy Depleted to Mystic Yellow!"
Using the same Heaven and Earth Energy, but with a different foundation and state of energy!
This unique scene.
Left all the onlookers greatly astonished.
Some even thought Xia Liu had reached the Nascent Soul Stage.
Otherwise, how could he compete for Heaven and Earth spiritual energy?
"Divine Skills?"
In a moment of shock, Zhuang Fei, upon seeing this scene, suddenly understood.
He had read in ancient texts that some Divine Power Arts, even without Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, could utilize Heaven and Earth spiritual energy.
However, compared to the Nascent Soul Stage, the Golden Core Stage could never surpass it!
"Die for me!"
Zhuang Fei launched a casual strike, resonating with the heavens and earth, scattering myriad ghosts in retreat.
"Let’s see who controls life and death!"
Xia Liu struck with his palm, and the space in front of him distorted, on the verge of collapse.
With increasing depth in his energy body and exceptional state of mind, Xia Liu utilized Energy Depleted to Mystic Yellow.
His might surpassed the past.
This attack, despite being from a Golden Core Late Stage, would inevitably cause severe injury!
Between heaven and earth, two extreme forces swept through the void, crushing all things.
Rumble!!!
Upon impact, waves of mud surged, rolling across the surroundings.
In an instant, the mighty strength all pressed towards Xia Liu’s position.
It was glaringly evident that despite showcasing his Divine Power, how could Xia Liu contend with a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator...
