Chapter 292: Not Me Sparing You?

The person who shouted was none other than Zi Jingyun the Lightning Kid . He had not come alone . Behind him were about a dozen people, all of them experts of the Lightning Alliance . With a surging battle intent, Xiang Shaoyun looked straight at Zi Jingyun and said, "Oh, you want to kill me? Bring it on!"

He was itching for a battle, and he longed to have a fight with this Cloud Margin Pavilion's number one cultivator below the Skysoar Realm and see for himself how impressive Zi Jingyun was .

"There's no rush . Men, watch him . I'll go up there and see if there is a soul spring," said Lightning Kid before turning into a bolt of lighting shooting toward the summit of Soul Stone Mountain .

Apart from Lightning Kid, other experts were arriving from different directions as well . A few of them were no weaker than Lightning Kid, and they similarly soared toward the mountain's summit .

Xiang Shaoyun was in no hurry, so he waited there calmly and sank into thought, I harvested both the soul spring and the ghostbloom, but I did not find the soul raising stone . Looks like I need to ask Devouring Ghost about it .

"Devouring Ghost, any idea where I can find the soul raising stone?" asked Xiang Shaoyun through soul transmission .

"Oh! So you're here for the soul raising stone?" asked Devouring Ghost .

"Yes . I thought that the soul raising stone would be here, but even after excavating the entirety of the soul spring, I found nothing," replied Xiang Shaoyun .

"I ate the soul raising stone," admitted Devouring Ghost forthrightly .

Xiang Shaoyun staggered and nearly fell to the ground . "Y-you can eat that?"

"Of course . How would I have restored my soul foundation? Remember, I was completely sealed by those bastards back then and couldn't even use my soul power! Fortunately, a soul raising stone was hidden here as well . Left with no other options, I ate it and recovered my soul power," said Devouring Ghost . He added, "That is also why I can open this space once every 10 years, all for the sake of looking for someone who can help me . Finally, my efforts paid off and you appeared, young master . "

Xiang Shaoyun had never imagined even the opening of the Land of Soul Springs every 10 years was also the work of Devouring Ghost . This was a truth that would leave many people shocked if exposed .

But he couldn't be bothered to think too much about it as the fate of the soul raising stone was bothering him . The mission he had received from Hua Cheng was to obtain the soul raising stone . The fact that he couldn't accomplish his task soured his mood .

"Why do you want the soul raising stone? Sure, it is a decent item, but it's not very useful for you at your current stage," said Devouring Ghost .

"I was looking for it on behalf of someone else . But since the stone is no more, I'll just have to forget it," said Xiang Shaoyun in disappointment .

"I see . You might be able to find more in the ghostrune territory," said Devouring Ghost .

"That's great news! I'll go look for one right now!" said Xiang Shaoyun joyfully . But he had barely moved when he was surrounded by the Lightning Alliance people .

"You won't be able to escape . Just obediently wait here for our alliance leader to come deliver your verdict," said one of them with a sneer .

Xiang Shaoyun couldn't even be bothered to give a reply . His figure simply flickered before he vanished into thin air . Before that person could react, a slap landed on his face .

Pa!

He was sent flying, with a few of his teeth flying out of his mouth . The others were alarmed, and one of them shouted, "Move together and detain him!"

They attacked together, surrounding Xiang Shaoyun with a flurry of energy attacks .

"Since you are seeking death, you can't blame me for what I'm going to do next," said Xiang Shaoyun with a cold snort .  

His Nether Soul Domain surged in power, pushing his senses to a new height that gave him a detection capability comparable to an eighth-stage Skysoar Realm expert's . With that, the openings of all the incoming attacks were laid bare before him . It was the gift of instincts granted to him by his Nether Soul Domain .

Xiang Shaoyun charged into the openings he found and lashed out with his fists . The punches were all aimed at the openings, scattering all the attackers . Two of them were even sent flying with grave injuries .

Xiang Shaoyun was not holding back as his fists shot out like guided missiles before hitting a few more of his attackers . Before they could even erect any sort of defense, they were struck and sent flying while coughing blood .

"You are all from the Cloud Margin Pavilion, so I will spare you for now . If you continue pushing it, don't blame me if I kill you the next time we meet," said Xiang Shaoyun, who still decided to show them mercy .

If he wanted to kill them, not one of them would be able to escape . There were a few of them who had yet to attack, and fear was currently plastered all over their faces . They were people who knew very well Xiang Shaoyun's prowess .

Instead of attacking them, Xiang Shaoyun tried to leave . But Lightning Kid's voice suddenly rang out, "Stop him . He must have gotten the treasure!"

Next, Lightning Kid shot down from the top of Soul Stone Mountain toward Xiang Shaoyun . When the new arrivals heard his words, they blocked Xiang Shaoyun's path . Apart from the Lightning Alliance members, people from other organizations were also surrounding Xiang Shaoyun .

Lightning Kid finally arrived and said, "Xiang Shaoyun, hand over the treasure and I might consider sparing you . "

Lightning Kid was confident there was a treasure on the Soul Stone Mountain because he had seen a newly dug spot there . And since he had personally witnessed Xiang Shaoyun leaving the top of the mountain earlier, he concluded that Xiang Shaoyun must have obtained the treasure .

"Hehe . You? Sparing me? Not me sparing you?" Xiang Shaoyun sneered .

"Good answer . You may now die," said Lightning Kid with narrowed eyes before sending forth a palm attack .

Rapid Lightning Palm!

The lightning palm energy arrived in front of Xiang Shaoyun's face in the blink of an eye . The palm was worthy of its name, as it truly moved rapidly . Even some Skysoar Realm cultivators would find it hard to dodge the attack . This attack proved that Lightning Kid did not have his reputation for nothing . Xiang Shaoyun was not proficient in palm techniques, but he could meet the palm with his fist . Thus, he greeted the incoming palm with a Lightning Bolt Fist .

Bang! Bang!

In a flash, the two exchanged over 10 attacks, sending lightning energy splashing everywhere . After yet another exchange, they separated from each other . It seemed like neither of them was able to do anything to the other .

"So you actually cultivate the power of lightning as well? But you are overestimating yourself if you think you can defeat me with lightning," said Lightning Kid with a nasty laugh . The lightning energy around him surged and grew even more fierce . Numerous electrical currents coiled around his body, with a massive apparition of a lightning snake appearing behind him . The snake looked extremely fierce and dreadful .

This was Lightning Kid's true strength and the source of his resounding reputation . He had once obtained a lightning snake egg by fluke . After consuming the egg, his lightning power grew exponentially, granting him the might of a demonic lightning snake .

The lightning snake was a rare high-tier demonic beast . Thus, it possessed an extraordinarily powerful demonic power . Once again, Lightning Kid attacked . His strength had grown by more than onefold, and even a first-stage Skysoar Realm expert would have a hard time facing the current him .

Lightning Snake Exits the Cave!

He assumed the stance of a snake with his hand and stabbed it at Xiang Shaoyun . His hand shot forth like a snake shooting out of a cave at an unimaginably fast speed, the lightning energy around it dreadful and mighty .
