Chapter 525: Mo Bing - Mo Jie

Some of them, such as Xuanyuan Mengli and Luo Feng, had already witnessed Tang Xiao’s cultivation breaking through to the Upper King Level.

They had also witnessed the Celestial God and War God silhouettes that appeared during Tang Xiao’s breakthrough, but they were still shocked to see him defeat a beast whose cultivation level was far above his own.

Unlike Jiang Haoming and the others, Duanmu Jingjing wasn’t surprised to see Tang Xiao defeat a peak emperor-level beast with just one normal sword slash. Tantai Lingyan had already told her some things about him, especially about his training and techniques.

Moreover, Duanmu Jingjing was present when Tang Xiao broke through to the Upper King Level, so she also saw the Celestial God and War God silhouettes.

Although Duanmu Jingjing knew nothing about the two silhouettes, she knew they were part of Tang Xiao’s strength. She believed they would help him surpass other cultivators in the future, including Xuanyuan Lingtian.

Xuanyuan Yueyao shook her head when she noticed their reaction, but her gaze was fixed on Tang Xiao’s figure above the sky, specifically the red aura covering his body.

Xuanyuan Yueyao knew that he possessed the fire element, and his elemental level was already quite high. However, she knew the red aura didn’t belong to him, and it came from something else.

For Xuanyuan Yueyao, a man’s physical appearance was not everything. What first sparked her attraction to him was his golden cultivation aptitude, which was on par with hers.

That was the reason Xuanyuan Yueyao decided to join the Nine Profound Sect when her marriage plans with Song Tianzun were canceled, and her main goal was to get close to him.

Unfortunately, Tang Xiao was overly cautious of Xuanyuan Yueyao, and he was unwilling to reveal too many secrets in front of her.

For the past thirty-three days, Xuanyuan Yueyao had stayed by Tang Xiao’s side, accompanying him to train as his sparring partner. However, she still couldn’t see through him, which made her even more curious about him.

Xuanyuan Yueyao inwardly sighed. ’How many secrets are you hiding, Tang Xiao? When will you reveal them to me?’

Regarding Tang Xiao, they didn’t know about his many advantages that other cultivators didn’t possess, such as his war god physique, void element, and sun stone.

Under normal circumstances, Tang Xiao wouldn’t be able to defeat a Peak Emperor-level Beast, but it was different after he utilized some of his advantages.

For example, Tang Xiao’s War God Physique is the embodiment of unyielding battle will and peerless martial dominance.

Other cultivators, especially cultivators from the lower realm like them, don’t have information whatsoever regarding Tang Xiao’s War God Physique.

Those who are born with it are destined to tread the path of conquest, feared as natural-born warlords who excel in endless combat. Their body becomes as strong as steel, and their muscles carry boundless strength.

Even without cultivation, their strength is equivalent to that of an ancient war god. Their presence alone could instill fear, suppress, and mentally destroy their enemies.

The second reason is Tang Xiao’s void element. He used it to confine the flying beast and restrict its movements, preventing it from attacking him or avoid his attacks.

The third reason is the sun stone, which boosts the power of Tang Xiao’s fire element attacks.

Tang Yin, Situ Lingxi, and Tang Xiao’s other wives almost laughed out loud seeing those people’s shocked expressions. They realized that some of them still underestimated him, but they felt that was normal because they didn’t know the truth about him.

Tang Huang crossed his arms in front of his chest; he looked proud as he looked at Tang Xiao. In the past, he couldn’t protect his son and daughter-in-law, and he also almost lost his grandson.

Fortunately, luck was on Tang Xiao’s side; he not only survived death, but he also managed to change his future by becoming a cultivator.

With Tang Xiao’s abilities and advantages, Tang Huang believed his grandson would stand at the peak of cultivation one day. ’Keep moving forward and reach the top, Xiao’er!’

’Show off!’ Tantai Lingyan muttered in her heart, but the pride in her eyes couldn’t be disguised. After all, she had raised Tang Xiao since he was five years old, and she taught him many things. ’Show them that their mindset is too shallow, Xiao’er!’

Tang Yuan looked at her nephew with a proud and happy look. In the past, Tang Xiao was an ordinary human; she and her father were forced to hide everything from him. However, fate had other plans for him, and he almost became her equal. ’Sigh! I have to work harder in my cultivation, or he will surpass me in the future. I’m his aunt, so I can’t fall behind him.’

Zhang Xingcai gazed at Tang Xiao’s figure without saying a word, yet a faint smile appeared on her cold face. She didn’t know when such feelings had begun to stir within her, but she enjoyed it. ’Perhaps, being with him is my destiny.’

Tang Xiao didn’t immediately descend from the sky, and he looked at the herd of beasts in the area around them. He smiled faintly, raised his right hand, and muttered softly, "Fire rain."

*Swoosh... Swoosh...*

Holy shit! Those people screamed in their hearts as they watched a massive ring of fire appear above Tang Xiao, followed by a rain of fire that rained down toward the beasts below.

Xuanyuan Mengli and several seniors immediately activated their defenses to protect the others, but they were ultimately left dumbfounded, as Tang Xiao’s attacks didn’t land in their area.

However, they heard the pained roars of numerous beasts from the area around them, further astonishing them. They hadn’t expected Tang Xiao’s elemental control to reach such a high level, even though his cultivation hadn’t long broken through to the Upper King Level.

Mo Bing and Mo Jie, who were a short distance away, could see Tang Xiao’s actions. Both were stunned after seeing his AOE technique, combined with his power to kill many beasts above his level.

"Big Sis, that man is really scary." Mo Jie said as his body shivered in fear. Although his cultivation was higher than Tang Xiao’s, he felt a chill after witnessing a bit of his power firsthand. Moreover, he was an ice demon, and the fire element was his nemesis. "His fire element is still not as strong as that flame demon bastard, but I feel like his attacks are deadlier than his."

Mo Bing nodded in agreement. "Perhaps he can help us to separate ourselves from them, Jie’er."

"Big Sis."

Mo Bing sighed. "Honestly, I don’t want to serve them, but I promised our late parents to protect you. Those two people are much stronger than me, and they will hunt us down if I refuse to serve them."

Naturally, Mo Jie knew the identities of the two people Mo Bing was referring to. They were the leaders of the demon race, Mo Shen and Mo Nu.

Mo Jie looked at her and asked. "Do you like Tang Xiao, Big Sis?"

"Hmm?" Mo Bing raised an eyebrow. "What are you thinking? I’m not interested in Tang Xiao as a person, but his strength and tricks have piqued my curiosity. For now, his cultivation is still too low to face those two, but I believe he will grow much stronger in the future. When the time comes, I’ll go see him and ask for his help to defeat them."

Mo Jie clenched both his fists. "Mo Wang killed our parents, so I want to kill him with my own hands, Big Sis."

"I want to kill him too, but he’s too strong for me," Mo Bing sighed. "Besides, he has Mo Nu by his side, and her strength is on par with his, so we won’t be able to defeat them."

"I’m sorry, Big Sis."

"What for?"

"I am a man, but I am too weak."

Mo Bing patted his head. "If you realize you’re weak, you have to strive harder to become stronger. I may be able to protect you now, but I can’t protect you forever, so you have to learn to protect yourself."

"I will definitely strive harder, Big Sis."

"Good." Mo Bing looked at Tang Xiao again. "Let’s go! We must not waste the information he gave us, and we must collect as many of those herbs as possible."

"Okay."

After killing several other herds of beasts, Tang Xiao transformed his golden sword back into a necklace and put it on. He landed in front of them, looked at Jiang Haoming, and smiled. "Are you satisfied with my strength, Young Master Jiang?"

Although Tang Xiao appeared to be smiling casually, Jiang Haoming could hear his tone had become distant.

Xuanyuan Yueyao, Tian Xiaoqian, Xuanyuan Wenxuan, Zhu Xuan’er, Tian Wuxian, Xiao Qingqing, and those elders also felt that Tang Xiao had changed somewhat after the incident just now.

Xiao Qingqing wanted to defend her fiancé, but her mouth only opened slightly without any words.

Tang Xiao did not press the matter further and looked toward his wives and their families. "Grandpa, you and the others should head out to hunt beasts now, but I forbid you from entering the deeper areas; otherwise, you might encounter many beasts at the Peak Tyrant Level."

"Okay."

Just like in previous days, Tang Huang went hunting for beasts alongside Sun Quan and Zhang Fei. Meanwhile, Mu Qingge set out with Tantai Lingyan and several other women, under Duanmu Jingjing’s protection.

Tang Xiao ignored the others, leading Tang Yin and the others to search for herbs and train. Since Situ Lingxi was with them, Taixu Wuxian, Huo Mianmian, and Situ Yang also followed them.

Xuanyuan Yueyao looked at her cousin. "Speak less and act more."
