While he was still at the Shackles Realm, Xiong Qi understood the Mountain Authority, a Middle-Grade Authority with superb defensive capabilities.
After his breakthrough, Xiong Qi doubled down on the aspect of defense, supplementing his Vision with the Earth and Gravity Authorities.
As such, the form of his Vision was that of a giant humanoid creature made out of stone, gravel, and soil, with a small illusory mountain floating right above its head.
This mountain exuded a powerful aura that oppressed its surroundings as if it were pressing down on them.
Earth Spirit- this was the name that Xiong Qi had given to his Vision, and although it was only a Middle-Grade Vision, its power was extremely strong.
Its powerful defense was its biggest advantage, and Xiong Qi had always believed that even in the face of true disciples’ attacks, it could still defend without any issue.
However, as Xiong Qi looked at the point of collision between the Earth Spirit and the holy sword in the angel’s hand, his face showed a hint of disbelief.
"Impossible!", he couldn’t help but mutter, unwilling to believe what he was seeing.

In his eyes, the moment the holy sword hit the raised hands of the Earth Spirit, the strongest point of his Vision and the source of his confidence, its defense, actually let him down.
"Crack... Crack... Crack!"
Countless cracks formed on the hands of the Earth Spirit and quickly spread to the rest of its body, while they became more and more severe.
In the blink of an eye, the Earth Spirit was covered in deep cracks.
"Bang!"
Then, it shattered, turning into countless pieces of dust that flew everywhere.
Without the Earth Spirit blocking it anymore, the holy sword continued unabated, its sharp edge pointing toward Xiong Qi.
A feeling that death was imminent suddenly spread in Xiong Qi’s heart, shocking him to the core.
Fortunately, his years of experience allowed him to quickly wake up, and he instantly immediately. Read exclusive adventures at freewebnovel
"Earth Armor!", he whispered in a low voice, and following his command, the remains of the Earth Spirit who had yet to fall down rushed towards him, attaching to his skin and turning into thick armor that covered him completely.
The speed at which this happened was very fast, and by the time the holy sword fell on him, the fusion between the Earth Spirit and his body had already been completed.
"Bang!"
The sword landed on the armor and not surprisingly, the armor cracked easily just like the Earth Spirit had done before it, shattering and turning into dust once again.
Fortunately for Xiong Qi though, the "death" of the Earth Spirit and the destruction of the armor completely relieved the sword’s force, giving him the time to react.
Taking this opportunity, Xiong Qi urged the Mana in his body and rushed back, flying out of the range of Chu Wuyao’s attacks.
When he landed, he couldn’t help but wipe the sweat off his forehead, feeling as if he had survived a disaster.
However, although he was relieved, he knew that now was not the time to relax.
Just a single attack.
All it took for Chu Wuyao to defeat him was merely an attack, and if it were not for his quick reaction and his Visions’ powerful defense, he would have been severely injured if not outright dead.
"Has she really just broken through the Awakening Realm, or is she just pretending?", Xiong Qi wondered, feeling as if he was in a dream.
The thought of retreating popped up in Xiong Qi’s mind, but he quickly suppressed that thought.
"No! She’s so powerful even though she has just broken through the Awakening Realm."
"This means that as long as she breaks through to the Aspect Stage, she will have the strength to easily kill me."
"I’ve already offended her through my previous actions. When she gets stronger, she will surely take revenge on me!", Xiong Qi judged and his expression darkened.
"I can’t let her go! This is the only opportunity to get rid of her! I’ll never have such a chance again!", he thought and he brushed his fingers gently against the golden sword in his hand, the Dragon Slaying Sword.
As if he had made a decision, he poured all of his Mana into it, wanting to awaken the Dragon Slaying Sword’s Weapon Spirit.
"Boom!"
His actions seemed to be fruitful, as before long, a small transparent figure appeared right above the sword.
This figure was a middle-aged man with a fierce expression, whose dazzling golden armor was covered in red blood.
The moment the Weapon Spirit showed up, the aura of the Dragon Slaying Sword surged and a scarlet color flashed on its surface.
"Kill!", the middle-aged man shouted, and following this shout, his body blended into the Dragon Slaying Sword.
After he broke free from Xiong Qi’s control, the sword rushed towards Chu Wuyao at a high speed.
Witnessing this sequence of events, everyone who was paying attention to this place was shocked.
"What happened to Xiong Qi? Has he gone insane?", a true disciple couldn’t help but mutter, as its eyes were glued on the Dragon Slaying Sword.
From the power of the sword, it was obvious to everyone that Xiong Qi was trying his best, clearly wanting to take Chu Wuyao’s life.
But it was because of this that they were surprised.
How dare Xiong Qi do this?
Wasn’t he afraid that the Original Desire Sect would hold him accountable?
The same thought arose in everyone’s minds, and this included Wu Feng, the initiator of everything.
"Idiot! What are you doing? Who asked you to kill a true disciple?", he couldn’t help but yell in anger, knowing that Chu Wuyao’s death was bound to affect him.
After all, he was the one who gave Xiong Qi the Dragon Slaying Sword.
Of course, neither Xiong Qi nor Chu Wuyao cared about what the onlookers were thinking.
Facing the Dragon Slaying Sword’s attack, Chu Wuyao didn’t show any reaction and remained still, as if she had frozen from the fear, rendering her unable to defend herself.
Seeing this, a triumphant smile flashed on Xiong Qi’s face and he could already imagine the scene of the sword cutting her head and harvesting her life.
However, just when Xiong Qi thought that Chu Wuyao’s death was imminent, she moved.
