Chapter 706: Chapter 705: They Have Arrived

“Yang Xiao, watch out!”

The four Demigod Peak guards were closing in again.

Nangong Yin cried out once more.

At that moment, she truly felt useless.

She couldn’t help at all.

As for Yang Xiao.

Even though he had killed the Demigod Peak guard with a single poke of his finger—and in such a terrifying manner—deep down, she was just as skeptical of Yang Xiao’s true strength as Qin Tianlong was.

Moreover, she knew Yang Xiao came from no ordinary background.

Deep down, she was more inclined to believe he had accomplished the earlier feat by using some sort of Secret Treasure.

This made her even more worried.

After all, Secret Treasures were exceedingly rare, and she had no idea how many more Yang Xiao possessed.

If he ran out,

wouldn’t he be finished?

‘This girl is this worried about me?’

Her anxious expression actually came as a surprise to Yang Xiao. They hadn’t spent much time together, and their previous interactions had been quite unpleasant. Yet now, it seemed this girl’s character was actually decent.

At least,

she had no intention of harming him.

As for these guys in front of him,

they had to die.

He had already given them a chance.

“When this guy killed Old Ninth, it was because his finger touched him. That’s when the trouble started. We don’t need to get that close. Anyway, we don’t need to be right on top of a mere brat from the Great Divine Power Realm to kill him.”

The third brother among the Demigod Peak guards suddenly spoke up.

The moment he spoke,

the other three’s eyes instantly lit up.

Truth be told,

although they were following Qin Tianlong’s order to kill Yang Xiao, Old Ninth’s death had been quite intimidating, and they couldn’t help but feel apprehensive.

They were afraid of meeting the same fate.

But now, hearing what their third brother had to say, they calmed down.

“That’s right. The kid’s cultivation is only at the Great Divine Power Realm Sixth Stage Peak. If he could really kill Old Ninth on his own, he’d have to be a renowned figure on the Hidden Dragon List. Every single one of of those people is a genius disciple from a major power. How could one just appear before us like this? It must be some bizarre Secret Treasure that requires physical contact to be activated.”

One of the guards, who had been silent until then, offered his conclusion.

“Old Seventh has always been the smart one, and he’s well-informed. If he says so, it must be true. Let’s stay away from him and kill him from a distance!”

“Right!”

And with that,

the four Demigod Peak guards no longer hesitated in the slightest.

Each one of them attacked Yang Xiao from a distance of three meters.

A mere three meters.

Even for an ordinary Grand Martial Artist of the Innate Realm who had just learned True Qi Emission, such a distance was trivial—let alone for Demigod Peak experts like them, who were on the verge of becoming True Gods.

Earlier,

the Demigod Peak guard they called Old Ninth had been too careless, thinking he could kill Yang Xiao with ease. That was the only reason the guy had found an opening.

Now that they were on their guard,

the four of them felt

that this was foolproof.

Even

Qin Tianlong, who was watching from a distance, felt his heart settle at the sight.

His grip on the white Jade Talisman relaxed slightly.

However,

just as the four Demigod Peak guards attacked from a distance, each unleashing a terrible power that seemed poised to obliterate Yang Xiao and the very ground beneath his feet,

Yang Xiao moved.

“Just a few at Demigod Peak. *Sigh*… How boring!”

The faint words

had only just reached their ears.

Before anger had a chance to brew in their hearts,

they saw

Yang Xiao lightly flick a finger.

Four strange streams of power landed on the four Demigod Peak guards.

The four of them

stiffened.

A moment later,

four raging fires erupted from their bodies.

Just like the last one,

in the end,

they were reduced to four balls of Blue Flame.

The flame from the most powerful of them, the one they called their third brother, even carried a faint hint of purple qi.

Apparently,

when all the power in his body was incinerated, the resulting flame was vaguely close to reaching the level of a Purple Flame.

Yang Xiao raised a hand, beckoning.

The four balls of Blue Flame flowed into his body,

where they were devoured by his Heaven and Earth Origin Fire.

He immediately sensed his Heaven and Earth Origin Fire strengthen slightly.

He was one step closer to the Blue Flame Realm.

‘This is incredibly useful. This burning Talent Power not only kills my enemies, but it also cultivates a homologous Flame Power for me. It’s a great supplement for the Heaven and Earth Origin Fire. I wonder, when I become a True God and try this on those Great Emperors, if I’ll be able to burn out a black flame.’

Yang Xiao smiled faintly.

In his first life, the power within his body had already reached the level of a Great Emperor.

He had been on the verge of evolving black flames.

It was only because he was limited by a weak physical body that he couldn’t truly convert his power on a large scale.

That was why he had remained stuck at the level of a Supreme Divine King.

But that purplish-black flame was anything but weak. The title of Flame Emperor, one who could contend with a top-tier Emperor at his peak, was not just for show.

Now, he had also obtained this burning talent.

Even though the Blue Flame Realm and Purple Flame Realm required an unimaginable amount of energy, with this Talent Ability,

he would still be able to drastically increase his power level in the future.

And this time around…

‘My physical body may not be strong, but its potential is countless times greater than before. If I continue step by step, becoming a Great Emperor—or even a Saint Emperor—will be within my grasp.’

Yang Xiao thought to himself.

His gaze,

however, turned toward Qin Tianlong.

His four guards, all at the Peak of Demi-God Level, were dead.

The man had lost all of his backing.

Now,

it was time to deal with him.

And as Yang Xiao’s gaze swept over,

it jolted Qin Tianlong back to his senses in that same instant.

He had already been prepared.

It was just that Yang Xiao had killed the men too quickly, and the guards’ response had caused him to let his own guard down for a moment.

That was why he hadn’t reacted immediately.

Now,

the moment he came to his senses,

he immediately crushed the white Jade Talisman in his hand.

As he crushed it,

a terrifying aura surged out from within.

It traveled up his palm and directly entered his body.

At that same moment, Yang Xiao’s eyes

suddenly lit up.

‘So it’s that kind of power. Don’t tell me this kid is also connected to *them*? Tsk, tsk. The world is a small place. In that case, I’m rather interested to see what sort of being this fellow will summon.’

Yang Xiao smiled.

He stared at Qin Tianlong,

but he did not attack immediately.

Instead, he remained calm and composed, as if waiting for something.

When Qin Tianlong saw this, he was both confused and pleasantly surprised.

What he feared most was Yang Xiao killing him on the spot without another word.

Now, it seemed,

this guy was incredibly arrogant.

He actually wasn’t attacking.

And he was even giving him that look.

‘Hmph, once they descend, I’d like to see just how you’ll die!’

As the thought crossed his mind,

the strange aura in his mind

poured into his Divine Soul.

Qin Tianlong offered no resistance,

allowing the aura to merge with his Divine Soul.

Instantly, a mysterious will connected with his Divine Soul.

With a single thought, Qin Tianlong

transmitted his current situation.

After doing all this,

he discovered

that Yang Xiao still hadn’t moved.

He still wore that detestable smile on his face.

Qin Tianlong’s mood instantly improved dramatically.

However, on his face,

he showed no trace of it, maintaining an expression of faint terror.

Until…

A powerful aura descended.

Only then did his expression finally change,

becoming full of confidence.

‘This kid is dead for sure!’

Because they… had descended!
