Chapter 305: Blood Prison General

Chapter 305: Chapter 305: Blood Prison General

As Xing Jian Gang, the third-strongest expert in the Chaotic Alliance Domain and a master at the Ninth Layer of Nascent Soul Transformation, it was no surprise that he possessed such a powerful Spiritual Skill.

But faced with this Void Rift of utterly terrifying power, Yi Xiaoyao showed no intention of backing down.

A violent Slaughter Qi surged forth, instantly dyeing the entire void crimson.

Yi Xiaoyao was about to counter Xing Jian Gang’s ultimate move with his own.

"Nine Swords of Slaughter, Eighth Form!"

"Blood Prison General!"

As his voice fell, the crimson void transformed into a Blood Prison. Blood surged wildly within, and a colossal, blood-colored giant clad in battle armor rose to its feet. It looked like a great general emerging from a blood-soaked battlefield.

The blood-colored giant looked up at the rumbling Void Rift. It raised an open hand, and a blood-colored giant sword instantly materialized in its grasp. With thunderous steps, it charged toward the Void Rift and unleashed its Blood Prison Sword!

This was the first time Yi Xiaoyao had ever used this move. Had he not accumulated such an astonishing amount of Slaughter Qi from his battles, he would have been completely unable to execute it.

This just went to show how incredibly powerful the technique was!

Two utterly terrifying powers clashed in the void. The mere aura they emanated caused the onlookers to tremble uncontrollably.

"These two are so strong!"

"We would stand no chance against either of those attacks!"

"Xing Jian Gang’s reputation is well-known throughout the Chaotic Alliance Domain, so his strength is a given. But for our Commander to be this powerful... it’s simply unbelievable!"

"Is a second Cang Tianxing truly about to emerge?"

Before they could recover from their shock, the Void Rift and the Blood Prison General clashed.

The blood-colored giant’s slash made the entire void tremble. The light of its blade frantically tore at the Void Rift.

Xing Jian Gang had intended for the terrifying Void Rift to devour the Blood Prison General first, then Yi Xiaoyao. But seeing this, his expression changed.

His Golden Punishment Heaven-Breaking was a wide-area absorption technique, exceptionally good at preventing Yi Xiaoyao from escaping with his Celestial Fire Illusion Body. Against a direct contest of power and defense, however, it was somewhat lacking.

The blood-colored giant now had one hand gripping the edge of the Void Rift to keep from being swallowed, while the other wielded the Blood Prison Sword. Each earth-shattering slash brought the Void Rift closer to collapse.

Xing Jian Gang’s heart clenched. He raised a hand and waved it sharply.

"Close!"

At his shout, the entire Void Rift rumbled and began to seal itself shut.

The blood-colored giant, however, was caught with half its body inside the closing rift, and it roared as it struggled.

At the same time, Xing Jian Gang didn’t dare reopen the Void Rift. He poured all his power into reinforcing the void to prevent the blood-colored giant’s escape.

Yi Xiaoyao’s brows knitted. His hands moved continuously as he too poured out Spiritual Power, trying to prevent the blood-colored giant from being crushed and help it break free.

The two were locked in a stalemate once again, a battle of attrition over their Spiritual Power reserves.

The moment one of them ran out of Spiritual Power would be the moment of their death.

"Hmph! Yi Xiaoyao, you may be strong, but your cultivation is far beneath mine. You dare compete with me in a battle of Spiritual Power reserves?"

Xing Jian Gang sneered. It was common knowledge that a higher cultivation meant a stronger Nascent Soul, which in turn could store far more Spiritual Power.

But how could he have known that Yi Xiaoyao possessed three Nascent Souls? While none of them could individually match Xing Jian Gang’s, with all three combined, it was anyone’s guess who would run out of energy first!

Hearing Xing Jian Gang’s sneer, Yi Xiaoyao paid it no mind and simply burst out laughing.

"Xing Jian Gang, I can’t say for sure whose Spiritual Power is greater, but I do know one thing for certain: your Criminal Alliance members are almost all dead."

At these words, Xing Jian Gang’s eyes blazed with fury. ’Of course I know that. Wasn’t that the whole reason I used Golden Punishment Heaven-Breaking—to end this quickly?’

’But now it has devolved into another stalemate. What can I do?’

As the dying screams of his Criminal Alliance members reached his ears, Xing Jian Gang’s face twisted with frustration and rage, his heart growing ever more anxious.

Because they had already been severely wounded by Yi Xiaoyao, all the Criminal Alliance’s experts were annihilated by the Carefree Alliance in the time it takes an incense stick to burn.

Finally, the experts of the Carefree Alliance joined forces to besiege the last holdout—the Criminal Alliance’s Right Protector—and utterly obliterated him.

"Commander! We’ve come to help you!"

A tidal wave of voices surged from all directions, and Xing Jian Gang’s face filled with despair.

Over Yi Xiaoyao’s laughter, the experts of the Carefree Alliance unleashed a barrage of powerful attacks. Like a splendid meteor shower of fireworks, they rained down on Xing Jian Gang from all sides.

The combined assault of so many experts was no less powerful than a mid-tier Celestial Tier Spiritual Skill. Even Xing Jian Gang dared not underestimate it.

Left with no choice, Xing Jian Gang reluctantly reopened the Void Rift. He swallowed all the incoming attacks into the void and directed it to consume the members of the Carefree Alliance.

But before the Void Rift could continue its advance, a smirk touched Yi Xiaoyao’s lips. He commanded the now-freed blood-colored giant to swing its Blood Prison Sword violently at Xing Jian Gang.

"AHHH!!!"

Suppressed by the Destruction Sword Realm and the Blood Prison, Xing Jian Gang’s speed was severely restricted. Escape was impossible. He could only let out a roar of defiance as he watched himself become engulfed by the bloody light. The Void Rift dissipated along with him.

The third-strongest expert in the Chaotic Alliance Domain had been slain by the Carefree Sword.

A titan of the Chaotic Alliance Domain had fallen, its power base annihilated in the void above the Criminal Alliance’s headquarters.

As the blood-colored giant faded away, the members of the Carefree Alliance erupted in frenzied, ecstatic cheers.

The battle was won!

The blood of the various Alliance Leaders boiled in their veins, completely ignited. They had never felt such passion in all their lives.

Because they had challenged—and destroyed—a behemoth!

"I imagine this is how our ancestors felt when they followed Cang Tianxing to war against the Great Xia!"

"Exactly! This exhilarating feeling is what we’ve been searching for!"

"I knew I wasn’t wrong to follow the Commander! He’s helped me rediscover that fire in my heart!"

Watching their fervor, Yi Xiaoyao’s eyes gleamed.

The Carefree Alliance had suffered losses in this battle, but far fewer than anticipated. This was all thanks to Yi Xiaoyao’s one move—The Drunkard’s Intention Was Not in the Wine—which had severely wounded the Criminal Alliance’s experts.

And their gains would outweigh those losses many times over.

First, there was wealth.

The Criminal Alliance, after all, controlled a massive Spirit Stone Vein with a virtually inexhaustible supply of billions of Spirit Stones!

"I will not take a single thing from this vein!"

Yi Xiaoyao gazed at the distant vein as he addressed the crowd.

Everyone looked bewildered. ’He’s not taking any of it? What does he mean?’

But in the next moment, Yi Xiaoyao smiled. "The entire vein will be divided among the brothers who fought in this battle!"

Instantly, every jaw dropped. ’Did we hear him right?’

This vein was the Criminal Alliance’s greatest treasure, coveted by countless factions. And Yi Xiaoyao was just going to... give it all away?

A moment later, everyone erupted in a unified, ecstatic cheer.

"Long live the Grand Alliance Leader!!!"

Yi Xiaoyao smiled faintly. He had never cared for material wealth, as he had no lack of it. For these men, however, it was the very thing they had fought their entire lives to obtain.

The second reward, however, was what Yi Xiaoyao truly desired.

Prestige.

’Before tomorrow even arrives, the entire Chaotic Alliance Domain will be in an uproar!’

Of course, Yi Xiaoyao wasn’t one to chase fame for its own sake. He needed the prestige simply because it would make unifying the Chaotic Alliance Domain that much easier.
