Chapter 821: Chapter 820 Terrifying Combat Power_1
The Water Witch pointed forcefully, her eyes filled with both pity and mockery.
She hadn’t seen such an adorable and perfect plaything in a long time. If Shi Xiaole were more sensible, she could even spare his life, as one person’s blood didn’t make much difference.
The Water Witch believed that under her guidance, he would definitely become very obedient.
However.
Her finger pointed at nothing.
Shi Xiaole, whom everyone thought they could manipulate at will, appeared way behind them; no one saw how he moved.
"Still daring to resist, lie down!"
Erta moved the fastest, charging at Shi Xiaole with a roar. Midway through, his fists had already unleashed the most powerful force of his life, turning into two blue trails of light.
He had long disliked the kid and now was a good opportunity to get rid of him. He believed that the Witch Queen would not mind.
Without looking back, without retreating, everyone thought that Shi Xiaole, caught off guard, couldn’t react in time, until the two blue trails were only three feet away from him – Shi Xiaole moved.
With his right hand’s middle and index fingers together, he didn’t even look back as he swung his hand behind him.
It was not the Wind Sword Technique nor the Wind Extreme Sword Technique, but Sword Qi emitted from two meridians, the Six Meridian Divine Sword!
To comprehend the Sword Realm, Shi Xiaole had started to learn various sword techniques from the system, either through free draws or by purchasing them with reward points, a long time ago.
Needless to say, the likes of the Huashan Sword Technique, Mount Tai Sword Technique, Hengshan Sword Technique, and Sky Mountain Sword Technique, and he definitely wouldn’t pass up on bizarre sword arts like the Six Meridian Divine Sword.
It was only because they were not high-level that he didn’t use them often, but when his cultivation plummeted, these sword techniques became his trump cards.
Swish! Swish!
With his profound internal power, Shi Xiaole’s Shangyang Sword was vigorous and lethal, piercing through the blue trails first, followed closely by another move from the Shangyang Sword, deceptively agile and varied.
Slash!
The Sword Qi cut through Erta’s right arm, leaving a wound deep enough to see the bone. Erta let out a scream of realization too late, his eyes bulging.
Meanwhile, Shi Xiaole had already reached the side of the two barbarians; his right hand turned from a sword into a palm, flipping and swaying left and right, elegant and graceful, the Wudang Grappling Hand!
In the blank moment in her mind, Yu Yourong only felt a burning hot hand wrapping around her slim waist, and then, out of her control, she leaned into the embrace of the other party, her body heating up.
It was not until then that Erta’s massive body crashed to the ground, producing a dull thud.
"Has this kid recovered his powers?"
"No, impossible, how could he recover to the first level of the Qi Absorption Realm so fast! Even if it’s just the first level, his strength couldn’t possibly be that strong!"
"Attack, take him down!"
The three men behind the Water Witch turned pale with fright.
Without their orders, the surrounding barbarians surged towards Shi Xiaole like the tide, nearly ten thousand in number, enough to exhaust someone to death.
"Don’t worry about me, just go..."
Yu Yourong came to her senses, shouting urgently.
"Rest assured, if I, Shi Xiaole, want to leave, they couldn’t stop me even if their numbers were doubled."
Shi Xiaole answered with a faint smile.
Yu Yourong’s mouth hung open. What nonsense was this guy spouting?
Standing still, Shi Xiaole stretched out his right hand, and five strands of Sword Qi burst forth simultaneously, each with its own characteristics – either sharp and forceful or bizarre and elusive, or grand and sweeping, or ingeniously simple. In an instant, the area was filled with Sword Qi slashing through, leaving group after group of barbarians falling to the ground.
The power of the Six Meridian Divine Sword depended on internal power. With the Heavenly Ghost Vine consumed and augmented by the effect of the Yang Blood Medium, Shi Xiaole’s internal power at the same level was unparalleled in the world. Killing these people in front of him was as easy as cutting wheat.
Wave after wave of people rushed forward, and even the quick Six Meridian Divine Sword couldn’t keep up. Shi Xiaole, carrying Yu Yourong, leapt up, soaring into the air as if ascending a ladder, executing the Cloud Ladder Stepping of Wudang.
Boom!
A surge of energy carrying the chill of ice attacked fiercely from below.
The person who made the move was none other than the gloomy-faced Water Witch.
In her wildest dreams, she had not anticipated such a turn of events, and for the life of her, she could not understand how Shi Xiaole’s strength had recovered so quickly—it was simply demonic!
Suspended in mid-air, unable to change his tactics, Shi Xiaole’s right hand ignited with a blaze of firelight, slicing downward rapidly and turning the blue energy into billowing white smoke.
Shaolin, Burning Wood Blade Technique.
"Water Night Brilliant!"
A palm strike filled with towering rage was unleashed, with the Water Witch appearing as a blue shadow, her surface rippling densely. Every ripple converged in front of her, forming a spearhead thrusting rapidly at Shi Xiaole, who had crashed to the ground.
The power of this strike astonishingly reached the pinnacle of the Qi Absorption Realm.
Shi Xiaole did not choose to withstand it head-on; his body twisted like a weathervane, his feet stepping on the Eight Trigrams, producing figure after figure, evading every spear-like surge of energy.
Lightweight Step!
In his previous life, many believed that the Lightweight Step and the Six Meridian Divine Sword were a perfect match, but in fact, the internal power of the Lightweight Step was unique and could not be used in conjunction with the Six Meridian Divine Sword.
Successfully evading the Water Witch’s offensive, Shi Xiaole struck out with the Shangyang Sword technique while his left hand’s little finger lightly flicked, bringing forth the versatile Shaoze Sword.
"No..."
The Water Witch barely dodged the sword strike, but where she paused, she was immediately met by a second sword strike as if she had thrown herself into it.
Spurt!
Blood sprayed as the Water Witch staggered backward, clutching the wound on her chest. She looked at the handsome young man holding a beauty in his arms, filled with both hatred and shock.
Shi Xiaole’s combat skills were extremely astute, and when combined with the Six Meridian Divine Sword, which appeared from nowhere with the unpredictability of a shotgun, it made him all the more formidable.
For him, defeating enemies across eight or nine minor realms within the Qi Absorption Realm was as easy as eating and drinking.
"Block him for me, kill, kill without mercy!"
The Water Witch’s voice was hoarse. As she commanded the others, she herself retreated into the crowd, waiting for an opportunity to strike. Shi Xiaole was strong, but he was still human; she refused to believe there would not be a time when he ran out of strength. When that moment came, she would see how she’d deal with him!
However, the Water Witch had completely underestimated Shi Xiaole’s strength. His power had transcended the bounds of normality, belonging to another dimension entirely.
Her subordinates who rushed at him didn’t stand a chance; many could not even touch a corner of his robe, instead colliding with each other and falling to the ground with strange cries.
Walking leisurely among the chaotic crowd, Shi Xiaole executed various sword techniques with ease as if embodying a young sword deity, unmatched in his edge by anyone.
Yu Yourong’s mouth hung open wide.
Was it possible?
A low-tier practitioner in the Qi Absorption Realm had played nearly ten thousand higher-tier peers in the palm of his hand, even effortlessly injuring two high-tier Qi Absorption martial artists before, all while dragging along the burden that was herself.
How could one man’s combat strength be so unreasonable, so infuriatingly incredible!
Looking at the man’s sculptured profile, Yu Yourong felt she would never forget the shocking scenes she had witnessed today for as long as she lived.
Leaving everyone behind, Shi Xiaole launched continuous strikes with his sword. Amidst the Water Witch’s despair and futile resistance, he crippled her legs and destroyed her dantian, took the token from her chest, and casually crushed the throat of Erta, who was fleeing. He then took Yu Yourong in tow and sped away.
"My lord..."
The people of the Water Witch Tribe wailed in despair. They had encountered a devil.
"Take me away, and also, inform the other level six tribes and the Fire Rat Tribe immediately. I want that kid to have no place to be buried, argh..."
The Water Witch screamed viciously.
