Chapter 111: Terrifying Strength

Chapter 111: Chapter 111: Terrifying Strength

Yi Xiaoyao carried the Spirit Fruit Tree on his shoulder, darting through the mist. With his Body Technique, it wouldn’t be difficult to shake off the six people chasing him.

But in the next moment, Yi Xiaoyao came to an abrupt halt, his brow furrowed as he stared ahead.

"This is getting a little troublesome..." he murmured.

Xiang Hai and his five companions quickly caught up from behind. Seeing that Yi Xiaoyao was no longer running, they assumed he was giving up.

"Hmph! Yi Xiaoyao, trying to hoard the Hidden Spirit Fruit from us is nothing but a fool’s dream. Hand it over!"

As they spoke, Xiang Hai and the others quickly moved to encircle Yi Xiaoyao.

But at that very moment, a voice echoed from nearby, "The Hidden Spirit Fruit belongs to us!"

Following that, nine Righteous Disciples emerged from the mist in front of Yi Xiaoyao.

The moment Xiang Hai’s group saw the nine Righteous Disciples appear, their faces tensed and they froze in place.

Yi Xiaoyao narrowed his eyes. ’Looks like a fight is unavoidable now.’

The nine Righteous Disciples glanced at Yi Xiaoyao’s group and said coldly, "Hand over the Hidden Spirit Fruit if you know what’s good for you."

Xiang Hai and his men looked grim. They were outnumbered. If they tried to keep fighting for the Hidden Spirit Fruit, they would suffer disastrous losses.

"We’re leaving!"

Xiang Hai gritted his teeth and hissed. The six of them turned and left.

The Righteous Disciples didn’t stop them. In truth, they didn’t want to get into a fight right at the start and waste too much energy.

Then, they turned to Yi Xiaoyao, who hadn’t left, their expressions a little strange.

"Hehe, our luck is pretty good. This kid is Yi Xiaoyao, the one the Cloud Transformation Sect’s Sect Leader specifically ordered to be killed."

"If we kill Yi Xiaoyao, not only will these Hidden Spirit Fruits be ours, but we might also get a reward from the Cloud Transformation Sect."

"This kid isn’t completely stupid. He knows we won’t let him go, so he’s given up on running."

The nine Righteous Disciples sneered at Yi Xiaoyao. "Yi Xiaoyao, if you hand over the Hidden Spirit Fruit obediently, we’ll give you a quick death."

Yi Xiaoyao showed not a hint of panic. Hearing their words, he just smiled faintly.

"Kill me? We’ll see if you have what it takes."

With that, Yi Xiaoyao stomped his right foot heavily. The ground immediately trembled, and a crack appeared.

The nine Righteous Disciples stared at the crack in the ground, their pupils shrinking slightly.

’This kid... such incredible strength!’

The men were secretly amazed. How could they possibly know just how terrifying Yi Xiaoyao’s Physical Strength was?

Meanwhile, Yi Xiaoyao planted the Spirit-Encompassing Fruit Tree into the crack in the ground and looked at the nine men indifferently.

"As for the Hidden Spirit Fruit, it’s right here. Come and get it if you have the guts."

From beginning to end, Yi Xiaoyao maintained a calm and carefree demeanor, as if he didn’t even register the men standing before him.

Seeing how Yi Xiaoyao looked down on them, the nine Righteous Disciples all laughed in anger.

"How arrogant! Yi Xiaoyao, killing you would be easy for me. I’ll take the Hidden Spirit Fruit whenever I please!"

As soon as the words fell, one of them shot toward Yi Xiaoyao, unleashing a punch surging with immense Spiritual Power.

In his eyes, he didn’t even need a weapon to annihilate some kid at the Sixth Layer of Foundation Establishment.

The wind from his opponent’s fist rushed toward him. Yi Xiaoyao’s gaze sharpened, and he threw a punch of his own.

At this time, Xiang Hai and the others, who had just left, hadn’t actually gone far. They were hiding in the mist, observing the situation with Yi Xiaoyao and looking for a chance to take back the Spirit-Encompassing Fruit Tree.

"Yi Xiaoyao won’t survive without us."

"Look at that kid. So arrogant even when death is at his doorstep. I almost feel sorry for him."

"That Yi Xiaoyao thinks he’s so great. We offered him one Hidden Spirit Fruit and he wasn’t happy. He deserves to die."

Xiang Hai and his men conversed in low voices, their tones laced with schadenfreude.

But in the next instant, their voices died abruptly, their faces filled with shock.

They watched as the man who had charged at Yi Xiaoyao met his punch. The man’s arm instantly exploded, and Yi Xiaoyao’s fist slammed him deep into the ground. A final stomp sent blood splashing wildly.

"What!"

It wasn’t just Xiang Hai’s group; the eight remaining Righteous Disciples in front of Yi Xiaoyao also cried out in disbelief.

To kill a man at the Ninth Realm of Foundation Establishment with a single punch... what kind of power was that!

Yi Xiaoyao watched the expressions of the people before him change, a cold smile playing on his lips.

"Perhaps if all of you attack together, you might stand a chance against me."

This time, Yi Xiaoyao’s voice was just as wild and arrogant as before.

But the eight Righteous Disciples no longer thought Yi Xiaoyao was being arrogant, nor would they ever look down on him again.

"This kid’s strength is astonishing, but even so, there’s no way he’s a match for all of us! Let’s kill him together!"

The eight men’s faces were grim. They each drew their weapons and closed in on Yi Xiaoyao from all sides.

It had to be said that the strength of these men was absolutely top-tier among those of the same Realm. All of them had comprehended Sword Qi. In the past, faced with so many experts, Yi Xiaoyao would have had no choice but to flee in disarray.

But now, Yi Xiaoyao was even more terrifying than them.

With Physical Strength alone, he could already battle someone at the Ninth Realm of Foundation Establishment. Now, he drew the Bloodthirsty Long Sword from his back.

"Spirit-Devouring Swordsmanship!"

"Silent Swordsmanship!"

The two types of Swordsmanship were executed to their absolute limit in Yi Xiaoyao’s hands.

Under the light of the Spirit-Devouring Swordsmanship, all the surrounding Sword Qi closing in on him was devoured and disintegrated before it could even touch the hem of his robes.

The Bloodthirsty Sword, which radiated an aura of silence and annihilation, was already shockingly powerful. Combined with Yi Xiaoyao’s immense Physical Strength, it was simply unstoppable.

"This power! It’s so strong!"

"Not good!"

"Watch out!"

Voices filled with terror erupted from the Righteous Disciples.

They immediately used their various Divine Techniques to try and block Yi Xiaoyao’s Bloodthirsty Sword. However, the power and strength behind the Bloodthirsty Sword were far, far too great.

Even though the Sword Shadows struck all eight of them simultaneously, they were still so powerful that the eight men were completely unable to parry.

WHOOSH!

A sharp wind swirled as a demonic sword light flashed out, slashing directly at the weapons the eight men were using to defend themselves.

CRACK!

With one sweep of the sword, the weapons in the hands of all eight Righteous Disciples shattered.

Yi Xiaoyao sheathed his sword and stood as if nothing had happened. He turned, hoisted the Spirit-Encompassing Fruit Tree onto his shoulder, and departed with indifference.

Behind him came the sound of bodies falling to the ground, followed by complete silence.

Not far away, Xiang Hai and his men stood frozen in the mist. Their bodies began to tremble slightly as an intense fear welled up inside them.

"How is that possible?!"

"Nine cultivators at the Ninth Realm of Foundation Establishment... all of them killed by Yi Xiaoyao in such a short time!"

"Am I dreaming? How can Yi Xiaoyao possess such terrifying strength?"

GULP. The men swallowed hard in unison.
