Chapter 123: Forced Into an Impasse

Xiang Shaoyun and Little White both stared at the newcomers vigilantly . It was already clear they had not come with friendly intentions . When Xiang Shaoyun finally got a good look at the newcomers, he found that he knew none of them .

"Are you sure you got the right person?" Xiang Shaoyun asked calmly .

There were seven of them, and all of them had mighty cultivation levels . Two of them were already in the Transformation Realm . As for the other five, even the weakest was an eighth-stage Astral Realm cultivator . In the Battle of Towns, such a group could already be considered an extremely powerful group . Xiang Shaoyun studied them carefully and was sure he had never seen these people before .

"It's fine if you don't know who we are . You only need to hand over your jade plate and break your own legs, and we will be done here," said the person who had spoken earlier .

The speaker was a youth dressed in black . He had a robust body and a ruthless expression on his face . After he spoke, he waved his hand and ordered the people around him to move on Xiang Shaoyun .

They were clearly here to rob him without giving him any explanation . Xiang Shaoyun could see that these people were not about to spare him . He naturally couldn't sit there and allow them to do whatever they wanted even if he was currently badly injured .

"Let me pluck his head off his body," said a young man . Eager to perform, he moved ahead of his companions . Dashing forward, he swung his pair of scythes straight at Xiang Shaoyun's neck .

Double Dragon's Feast!

He was attacking to kill, not intending to spare Xiang Shaoyun at all . Xiang Shaoyun did not do anything . Little White was the one who jumped forth to face the incoming attack .

"Howl!"

Little White thunderous roar rumbled out and stunned the attacker with a shocking soundwave . Then, Little White's merciless paw clawed the attacker's chest, digging a chunk of flesh off the chest to reveal the bones and internal organs within .

"AHHHH!" With a miserable wail, the young man died .

"Bastard! Everyone, attack together!" the youth in black cried out . After giving the command, he dashed forth and led the attack . He was a Transformation Realm cultivator . Although he was only at the first stage, his cultivation was enough to let him defeat many disciples in the competition .

Like a nimble snake, his black sword pierced through the air straight toward Xiang Shaoyun's neck . At the same time, the other Transformation Realm cultivator also slashed his blade at Xiang Shaoyun . The other four cultivators surrounded Xiang Shaoyun and Little White, preventing any escape .

"I don't care who you are . Since you want to die that much, I'll grant you your wish," Xiang Shaoyun roared . Ignoring the pain all over his body, he drew his Overlord Skyslaying Saber and raised it, the saber erupting with the power of innate purple lightning .

Rumble!

The saber attack arrived like a sudden lightning bolt from a clear sky with an unstoppable might . The youth in black was greatly shaken by this attack, but he was still a Transformation Realm cultivator . Clenching his teeth, he pressed on and faced the attack . He felt terrible after meeting the attack head on .

The innate purple lightning was terrifyingly powerful and directly burned his entire body black . He was sent flying far away before crashing on the ground . Even on the ground, his entire body twitched repeatedly, looking extremely sorry .

The two companions beside the youth in black were scared shitless by what they saw . Just as the two were distracted, a purple trail streaked across the air, followed by two severed heads .

After killing the two, Xiang Shaoyun clenched his teeth and was about to continue attacking the youth in black when a fresh fountain of blood burst out of an old wound on his arm . He nearly dropped his saber in pain . Forcing himself to fight at full power had worsened his injuries . These were the injuries he had sustained when killing gold serpentine crocodiles . If he kept on fighting, he would be in an even worse condition .

"Little White, let's leave," Xiang Shaoyun said .

Little White wasn't any better off than Xiang Shaoyun . He bit a head off one of the attackers before jumping back to Xiang Shaoyun . The two then fled .

"Damn it! He is already so injured yet is still so powerful . No wonder the Gateflag Academy people are willing to pay to have him killed . They won't be able to run far . You, stay behind and look after them . I'll chase after them," said the other Transformation Realm cultivator that was still uninjured .

He left the other uninjured person behind to look after the others while he went after Xiang Shaoyun alone . The reason he went after them was because of the heavy injuries Xiang Shaoyun and Little White had sustained . If he was able to kill Xiang Shaoyun, not only would he obtain Xiang Shaoyun's points, he would even obtain the reward Gateflag Academy was offering for Xiang Shaoyun's head .

Xiang Shaoyun's vitals were protected by his king-grade armor, but his four limbs were badly injured . His aura was growing increasingly unstable, as he could no longer suppress his cultivation base, which was trying hard to rush into the eighth stage . But this was not the time for a breakthrough .

"You won't be able to escape!" shouted the young man hot on his tail .

A short while later, Xiang Shaoyun arrived at the edge of a deep canyon that was more than 10 meters wide . It was also so deep the bottom couldn't be seen . With his injuries, it was impossible to jump over the canyon . As if to make matters worse, he could see gold serpentine crocodiles in his immediate vicinity, blocking all other paths . This left him with nowhere to go .

"Hehe, run, keep running . Why are you not running anymore?" the Transformation Realm cultivator smiled gleefully .

At present, the gold serpentine crocodiles were attacking Xiang Shaoyun and Little White . Because the Transformation Realm cultivator had arrived later, the gold serpentine crocodiles ignored him .

He was in no rush to attack . Rather, he stood there waiting for the gold serpentine crocodiles to further injure Xiang Shaoyun and Little White . If Xiang Shaoyun and Little White were outright killed, it would be even better .

To his disappointment, Xiang Shaoyun and Little White were still fighting on valiantly and were able to kill the gold serpentine crocodiles attacking them . But because of the battle, their injuries worsened .

One of Xiang Shaoyun's arms had a fractured bone while the other had a long wound on it . Both his legs were filled with bloody cavities, and his entire person was soaked red with blood, looking to be in an extremely terrible shape .

Propping himself up with the Overlord Skyslaying Saber, he kept his back straight and stared at the young man that was leisurely walking toward him . Numerous expressions flitted through his eyes .

"My . . . my only . . . question is . . . which academy are you from? Why are you after me?" Xiang Shaoyun spoke with great difficulty .

"You are already a dead man . What is the point of telling you?" the young man sneered .

"Sure, come on then . We shall see who is the actual dead man," Xiang Shaoyun said, a ruthless glint surfacing in his eyes .

By his side, Little White was also roaring furiously . But his injuries were even worse than Xiang Shaoyun's . He couldn't even stand anymore .

"Haha, fine, you are going to die anyway . I'll let you know . You are going to die in the hands of Sun Songli . " The young man roared with laughter before darting forward . He attacked with his full power .
