Chapter 651 650: Killing the Great Elder

"You want to fight me, little one?"

Seeing Yang Xiao approach him step by step, his body radiating a cold killing intent, the Great Elder of Star God Academy felt a stir in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged.

Because he believed,

Vice Dean Xing Hanzi wouldn't lie to him.

Since this kid only had the strength of a Tier One True God—barely approaching a Tier Two True God—by relying on some Secret Skills, then before him, a Peak of Tier Two True God, the boy was absolutely nothing to worry about and couldn't possibly cause any trouble.

As for Nangong Tianling,

there was even less to say.

Since neither of them could make waves, what did he have to fear?

The only reason he had told Yang Xiao to leave earlier was to trick Yun'Er into willingly becoming the Third Young Master's woman. Besides, he was also somewhat wary of the Divine King Level expert backing him.

Therefore, if he could avoid killing Yang Xiao,

he would.

Because once he was killed, it would mean a complete falling-out with the Holy Spirit Body, Lin Yun'Er, creating a deep-seated grudge.

Although it wouldn't be a major problem, it would still have some repercussions.

It would create potential complications.

Moreover, the Great Elder had long ago conspired with Vice Dean Xing Hanzi. As long as this Holy Spirit Body became the Third Young Master's woman, they would then reveal her relationship with Yang Xiao.

At that time,

the Third Young Master would deal with this kid himself.

There would be no need for him to act at all.

This way, even if that Divine King or the Holy Spirit Body found out in the future, they couldn't be blamed.

The plan would be perfect.

But now, it seemed,

this young man was a reckless fool.

He actually dared to unleash his killing intent on him.

'In that case, don't blame me for being impolite!'

He snorted coldly in his heart.

The Great Elder grew vigilant.

Although the best plan was to use Yang Xiao to threaten the Holy Spirit Body, Yun'Er, it seemed that was no longer possible. The Great Elder didn't mind.

After all, he was working for the Third Young Master.

The crucial point...

...was that the job had to get done.

If he couldn't even accomplish the task, that would be a real disaster.

As for how to do it,

he would just have to see. If the best method failed, it was fine if another method succeeded.

Therefore, the Great Elder wasn't afraid of Yang Xiao's anger at all.

A sneer appeared on his face.

'Looks like these guys think they've figured me out.'

Seeing this,

Yang Xiao's face was cold.

He sneered inwardly.

He couldn't care less what this person was thinking.

No matter what tricks they pulled, a confrontation was inevitable.

Because their target...

...was Yun'Er.

They wanted to use this girl as a stepping stone for their own advancement.

And that...

...was something he could never tolerate.

Therefore, this man before him...

...had to die.

Even the others present.

If they didn't step forward, fine.

But if they did,

they would all die.

Yang Xiao didn't plan on letting a single one go.

At this thought,

the killing intent in his heart grew even stronger.

"Young Master! Don't!"

But just as he was about to clash head-on with the Great Elder of Star God Academy, a figure suddenly rushed toward him.

It was Yun'Er.

Earlier,

the words of Star God Academy's Great Elder had stunned her.

She was so shocked that when Yang Xiao prepared to strike, she didn't react at all, frozen in a daze. But when she saw her own Young Master about to face this Great Elder, who was even more powerful than her master Nangong Tianling, endless worry flooded her heart.

She could sense that Yang Xiao's cultivation was only at the Small Divine Ability Realm, far inferior even to her own.

And the strength of Star God Academy's Great Elder...

...was the Peak of Tier Two True God.

He could probably kill her Young Master with a single wave of his hand.

How could Yun'Er not be worried?

Moreover, she was naturally intelligent. Although she had only heard the Great Elder's words once, she had already understood many things.

She knew these people wanted her to be with someone called the Third Young Master.

Although she didn't know who this person was,

Yun'Er didn't want to know.

But if it could save her Young Master,

she...

...was willing!

Willing to do anything.

So, after snapping out of it, Yun'Er threw herself forward and hugged Yang Xiao tightly.

As she stopped him,

she also looked at the Great Elder of Star God Academy and said, "I can agree to any of your demands, as long as you can guarantee my Young Master will be safe."

Her words were resolute.

Instantly, the Great Elder's killing intent subsided.

To put it bluntly,

what he wanted most was to avoid a falling-out with the Holy Spirit Body and Yang Xiao.

Now that the Holy Spirit Body was being so sensible, he was naturally willing to agree.

As for Yang Xiao's killing intent,

and his offense,

they were insignificant.

However, just as he was about to agree,

Yang Xiao gently pulled Yun'Er's hands away.

He turned back around.

Then,

he cupped the girl's face,

and kissed her deeply.

In an instant, the girl froze solid.

Everyone else present froze as well.

They never imagined that Yang Xiao would do such a thing at a time like this, in front of everyone. If the Third Young Master found out about this...

The Great Elder's expression...

...changed instantly.

'This kid is courting death!'

His previously triumphant expression turned frigid. "Brat, do you have any idea you're walking a dead-end path?"

"A dead-end path?"

Yang Xiao laughed.

He gently let go of Yun'Er, whose face was still completely blank, unable to process what had happened.

He turned around.

Once again, he faced the Great Elder.

This time,

there were no more words.

A jet-black longsword...

...instantly...

...appeared in his hand.

Without any flourish,

he slashed out with his sword.

With this strike,

Yang Xiao did not use Meteor Fall, nor could he have used Celestial Moon. It was just an ordinary strike.

But the aura within his body...

...surged violently at that moment.

The Divine General Talisman.

He had used it.

Therefore,

after that one strike,

what everyone saw was the Great Elder's corpse.

The next moment, it vanished into nothingness.

Because the sword Yang Xiao used was no longer the Void Divine Sword, but the Bloodthirsty Divine Sword.

The sword struck.

The Great Elder died.

Then, everything was devoured completely.

It was countless times stronger than when Yang Xiao had used his Devouring Power before.

If not for the fact that everyone present was at least a Demigod or stronger, they probably wouldn't have even seen the moment of the Great Elder's death. Those with slightly weaker sight would only have seen...

...Yang Xiao swing his sword,

and the Great Elder vanished.

The aura that belonged to him also disappeared at that moment.

"Wh-what's going on?"

At that moment,

everyone present was dumbfounded.

Just before, they had been stunned when they saw Yang Xiao kiss Yun'Er.

But they never expected...

...that just a moment later,

the kid would do something even more astonishing.

With just a single strike, he had actually slain the Great Elder, a man second only to Vice Dean Xing Hanzi.

And it was such a thorough kill, reducing him directly to nothingness.

This was insane!

'How can this kid be so strong? Oh no, he's coming my way! He's coming to kill me! This is bad!'

In fact, at this very moment, even Xing Hanzi, a Tier Three True God, was panicking.

Because after killing the Great Elder, Yang Xiao suddenly discovered that his Divine General Talisman hadn't consumed much energy. In contrast, the power fed back from the Bloodthirsty Divine Sword was even greater.

His heart immediately settled.

'In that case, it's time for a massacre.'

And the first on his list was the man behind the scenes, Xing Hanzi.

But just as Xing Hanzi was losing his nerve,

and Yang Xiao was planning his massacre,

suddenly—

a terrifying aura emanated from the skies above Star God Academy.
