Chapter 1056: Chapter 1055 Facing 3 Alone_1
Three overwhelming auras that shook heaven and earth simultaneously targeted the figure in green standing before the Jingyun Tower, and some people even heard a crisp shattering sound coming from the void.
At this moment, coinciding with the final stages of the weapons contest, most had ceased their actions, and their gazes toward the figure in green were incredibly complex. Was this the Kirin?
He dared to venture deep alone—could it be that he was no longer afraid of the three from the Black Absolute Emperor?
"It should be impossible. However, I’ve heard that the Kirin is adept in both martial arts and the Spiritual Path, and his Flying Skill is exceptional. As long as he is careful, even the three from the Black Absolute Emperor might truly not be able to catch him,"
the Ink Emperor muttered to himself while stroking his ink-colored beard.
It had been less than half a month since Shi Xiaole was pursued by the three from the Black Absolute Emperor. If it were said that in half a month’s time, Shi Xiaole had improved further, the Ink Emperor wouldn’t believe it—even if he were beaten to death, it was impossible.
Thinking about it, it made sense. If the Ink Emperor were Shi Xiaole and had the ability to escape, he would not have missed such a grand event. At the very least, he would be able to scoop up a few weapons.
On the other hand, the Ink Emperor was also secretly looking forward to the three from the Black Absolute Emperor acting out in anger. With Shi Xiaole’s abilities, he would at least wear them down a bit, giving himself a greater advantage when seizing the superior Spiritual Weapons.
"Boy, he sure has guts."
The Thunderbolt Emperor licked his lips.
He had pondered for a long time and still felt it was necessary to lend Shi Xiaole a helping hand! Compared to offending the three from the Black Absolute Emperor, he valued this continuously miracle-creating genius more. The future of such a person was unpredictable, and even the Tang Sect had to foster good relations.
Of course, now was far from the time to intervene. Helping also required strategy; the timing had to be perfect. Otherwise, how could his importance be highlighted?
Beside him, the Ice Emperor, with his deep and inscrutable white pupils, was a mystery to everyone about what he might be thinking.
"What a profound Array System."
Ignoring the three from the Black Absolute Emperor, Shi Xiaole looked at the crystal barrier outside Jingyun Tower. The sensation from this barrier reminded him somewhat of the Nine Profound Array—not because the arrangement was similar, but because the aura was.
This was a Sky Origin realm Array System!
Jingyun Palace, although renowned in the ancient Martial World, was not the most elite sect. If even they owned a Sky Origin realm Array System, then what about the other top sects?
The dust-covered ancient eras—did they harbor a martial civilization brighter and more prosperous than that of the present day?
Shi Xiaole suddenly remembered something Ling Jingsi told him over a decade ago; Shi Xuanzhong toured various places in the world seeking the buried ancient martial civilizations, and indeed, from those relics, he had gained great insights. (Chapter 797)
"The Nine Profound Array is a Sky Origin realm Array System, and here appears another Sky Origin realm Array System—this cannot be a mere coincidence. Perhaps there will be even more in the future."
Dimly, Shi Xiaole seemed to catch a glimpse of the grand epoch in miniature. However, his thoughts were swiftly interrupted by a ruthless and merciless voice.
"Kirin, return my possession immediately, or even at the ends of the earth, I will behead you as an offering. As for your relatives and friends, I will personally wait outside the Nine Heavens Mountain, killing one for every one I meet, a pair for every two."
The Black Absolute Emperor spoke coldly, each word laced with a heavy threatening tone.
In such a short time, the Black Absolute Emperor believed the spiritual essence of the Immeasurable Jade Ring wouldn’t be exhausted, and quite possibly more than half might remain. With superior Spiritual Weapons to be claimed, he did not wish to waste energy dealing with Shi Xiaole at the moment.
If the other party was sensible enough, perhaps he would consider forgoing any reckoning after autumn.
"Hand over the item, or suffer death without mercy!"
The Four Symbols Sword Emperor and the Unfathomable Leg Emperor also shouted simultaneously, their voices like thunder, shaking the long sky with continuous booming.
Ye Junlan and his wife Shang Rong had just arrived and, under the deterrence of this powerful aura, both felt their Vigorous Air greatly obstructed, unable to exert even seventy to eighty percent of their strength, their faces turning pale with fright.
Such formidable strength, could such a person really be someone Young Hero Shi could contend with?
Looking at the three, without the caution and solemnness everyone envisioned, Shi Xiaole’s expression remained calm from start to finish, he said lightly, "First of all, the item isn’t yours; everyone just competes for it fair and square. Secondly, I detest people who threaten me with my relatives and friends. Those who dare to do so, are all dead. You three had better not play with fire and burn yourselves."
Everyone listened in astonishment. They say the Kirin appears gentle on the outside, but is arrogantly proud on the inside, and this was indeed true. To dare to threaten in front of three Martial Emperors, completely disregarding them.
Regardless of his actual strength, at the very least his courage and boldness, there were few in the Martial World who could compare.
"You, should die!"
The Black Absolute Emperor’s eyebrows stood up in anger, seething with rage. After so many years, who dared to speak to him in such a manner, and now, a junior had rebuked him like this. If he did not make a statement, others might think he was easy to bully.
The expressions of the Four Symbols Sword Emperor and the Unfathomable Leg Emperor were no better. They were itching to immediately dismantle Shi Xiaole’s bones.
"Kill!"
A sword cry rang out, and a stark white Sword Qi suddenly lit up the long sky. The Four Symbols Sword Emperor made his move, the Sword Qi morphing into a giant dragon with bared fangs and claws, fiercely slamming into Shi Xiaole.
The Black Absolute Emperor and the Unfathomable Leg Emperor were not slow either, attacking Shi Xiaole from left and right, their domineering Vigorous Air tearing the void into pieces.
Patience has its limits, and the three would not endure being humiliated like grandchildren by a junior whose strength was not as great as their own, all for the sake of a superior Spiritual Weapon.
Of course, the main reason was that the three had already discussed that once the superior Spiritual Weapon appeared, they would immediately join forces against the Ink Emperor. In doing so, they also would not need to worry about depleting their strength.
"Young Hero Shi..."
The sudden attack from the three Martial Emperors caused Ye Junlan and Shang Rong to change color simultaneously, the couple being the only ones at the scene to make their stance clear.
Boom!
Facing the onslaught of three massive, unbounded currents of Vigorous Air, Shi Xiaole’s eyes gently lifted. Without fear, without panic, all that was present was endless composure and calm. With a light step, he used the Ascending Immortal Step to retreat swiftly.
The speed of the three currents of Vigorous Air was too fast, especially the Sword Qi of the Four Symbols Sword Emperor. Often just as Shi Xiaole would retreat, the very next moment, the void he had just passed through would be torn open, the long dark fissures frightening everyone.
The ’slowness’ of the Black Absolute Emperor and the Unfathomable Leg Emperor was only relative, and besides, each had their own specialties.
The palm strikes of the Black Absolute Emperor were omnipresent, like a Sky Net, allowing no escape. The leg strength of the Unfathomable Leg Emperor was elusive; you would never know from where it would strike at you.
Anyone, even the Ink Emperor faced with the combined attack of the three, had no other choice but to retreat. Yet Shi Xiaole did not retreat. Not only did he not retreat, but he also actively moved forward, using his arm as a sword, wielding the Body-Breaking Invisible Sword Qi.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Three huge ripples appeared, clashing and canceling each other out. The Sword Qi, easily shattered by the three streams of Vigorous Air, but Shi Xiaole took advantage of the momentary pause to slip through the gaps in the Vigorous Air like a darting fish, rushing towards the Unfathomable Leg Emperor who had just made a move.
His middle two fingers coming together, Shi Xiaole raised his left hand, thrusting a sword towards the Unfathomable Leg Emperor. The sharp and glaring Sword Qi obscured the sky and sun!
