âLi Xiaobai, this is the Confucian Killing Formation. If you seal your cultivation level and willingly hand over the secrets of the Tangneng First-class, I, the King, will spare your life!â Ouyang Di laughed heartily.
âYour Majesty, time and again I have offered you opportunities, yet you seem intent on courting death. Well, it seems I, Li Xiaobai, shall have to oblige you.â
A cold light flashed in Li Xiaobaiâs eyes; the fragment must be in this great hall. First, he would kill Ouyang Di, then search for it.
Flipping his wrist, a longsword appeared in his hand, slowly being raised above his head.
Ouyang Shuangerâs expression turned bitter, and she closed her eyes. She knew that once this sword came down, everyone present would be doomed, just like that day in the Tianbei Secret Realm; no one would be spared.
She wanted to advise against this, but her royal father was like a man possessed, obsessed with capturing Li Xiaobai. It was all her eldest sisterâs doing; had it not been for her poisonous words before their father, he wouldnât have been so easily convinced that Li Xiaobai was merely a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
âLi Xiaobai, donât overexert yourself. If you hand over the secret of the Tangneng First-class, I, in my authority, promise you your life,â said the woman behind the curtain.
âGiggle, and who the hell are you? A mere hiding, tail-showing rat, yet you dare to be arrogant in front of your lord Ji Wuqing?â
âKid, swing your sword. Take her down!â
Ji Wuqing burst forth in fury, for it hated people showing off in its presence the most.
âYouâre given a face yet you want no face. Donât say I didnât give you an opportunity. In this world, there are some people you simply canât afford to provoke!â
Ouyang Di formed a Seal Spell with his hands, and the light from the Formation within the great hall surged violently. In the void, a blood-colored shadow transformed into a dense blood mist that merged into the Formation, a ferocious aura sweeping across the entire place.
The Formation began to operate in full-swing. The ground cracked inch by inch, and tables, chairs, and benches were reduced to powder.
Li Xiaobai chuckled softly, and the longsword in his hand swung slowly downward.
Hundred Percent Barehanded Blade Catch!
In an instant, Ouyang Diâs face drastically changed. He felt the vast Spiritual Power within him being forcibly suppressed in a moment, and the Cultivation Technique he was wielding was aggressively halted.
At the same time, a strong impulse to catch the sword surged in his heart.
He involuntarily charged toward Li Xiaobai, knelt on both knees, raised his hands high and caught the longsword firmly in his hands.
Most critically, he had charged toward the center of the Formation. Now that the Formation was fully activated, with his body unable to perform any movement technique, he couldnât hold out for long at all!
The rest of the cultivators did the same, charging uncontrollably toward the core of the Formation. Their faces were filled with horror: âSword Imprisonment, the Demonâs Wicked Sword, itâs that Li Xiaobai whoâs been causing such a stir recently!â
âI have a third of the cultivation of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, and even I can be controlled?â
Ouyang Diâs eyes were filled with shock. How powerful must one be to control even those in the Tribulation Crossing stage?
Even the prodigies of Central Province couldnât possibly do this, could they?
The curtain stirred, and a beautiful woman let out a cry as she, too, rushed toward Li Xiaobai like a gust of wind, kneeling down and firmly fixing herself at the very center of the Formation.
âWhat is happening?â
âHow can I be pinned down, when I am but a prodigy? How could I possibly be subdued by him!â complained the beautiful woman in disbelief. She struggled frantically in her mind, but her body couldnât move an inch.
The affair of Li Xiaobai was known to them through the Immortal Spirit Daily, yet none had imagined he could control themâhow could a young genius possibly subdue long-standing powerhouses?
âA mere Tribulation Crossing cultivation level doesnât catch my eye. Youâre all nothing but frogs at the bottom of a well. If the old monsters of Zhenyuan Country were revived, perhaps I would have a thing or two to worry about. As for you? Just two words: random slaughter,â Xiaobai stated indifferently.
The moment the sword made contact with Ouyang Di, he received a prompt from the chat group.
[Achievement: Trouble Maker (6/108).]
[Blood Sacrifice Fragment: 2.]
Ouyang Diâs Space Ring released two inconspicuous streams of light that shot into Li Xiaobaiâs forehead.
[Attribute Points+10000â¦]
[Attribute Points+10000â¦]
Two fragments remained.
âHeh heh, when I roamed the universe, none of you had even been born yet, mere Transcendance Tribulation Stages, only in this remote corner can you be so complacent!â
Ji Wuqing said with a mocking expression.
Ouyang Di felt panic inside. The other party was right; he truly couldnât move. Not even a little, as long as that sword was there, he had to keep kneeling on the ground, unable to do anything.
Passively enduring the torture of the Formation, his flesh rapidly dissolved in a time visible to the naked eye.
At the same time, the bodies of many cultivators who rushed over uncontrollably cracked and blood splattered everywhere.
âMy body!â
âYour Majesty, quickly stop the Slaughter Formation!â
âThis humble officialâs cultivation level is too low, I canât hold on much longer!â
âLi Xiaobai is also in the core of the Slaughter Formation, why is he unaffected?â
The nobility screamed and shouted, hoping to get a response. Their cultivation levels were even more vulnerable than those in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage; they couldnât withstand the running Slaughter Formation at all, as their bodies disintegrated piece by piece.
Unfortunately, at this moment, Ouyang Di had already been controlled and couldnât make any movements.
Moreover, as the king of a nation, every action was closely related to the kingdomâs fate. This kneeling dissipated almost half of the Dragon Qi that had accumulated above the Imperial City in an instant. The combined kneeling of several princesses and Ouyang Diâs couple almost eradicated more than half of Zhenyuan Countryâs qi luck.
For a long time to come, Zhenyuan Country would be greatly weakened!
Ouyang Di was filled with fear and roared loudly, âSupreme ones, Wuhua, someone protect me!â
Several figures exploded outside the palace, transforming into streaks of light rushing straight towards Li Xiaobai.
âHow dare you! You made the King, the Queen Mother, and the various princesses and ministers of Zhenyuan Country kneel down!â
âLi Xiaobai, right? No matter what powerful force is backing you, today youâre undoubtedly going to die!â
The several attendants, upon hearing Ouyang Diâs call, immediately rushed into the hall, and seeing the scene inside, their faces were filled with rage. The ruler of the nation had actually knelt downâwhat a humiliation!
They had already sensed the rapid disappearance of the Dragon Qi within the Imperial City, and the kingdomâs fate was swiftly fading.
Li Xiaobai must be killed quickly!
âDonât come near him, he has the Demonâs Wicked Sword which can control anything, fight from a distance!â
Ouyang Di roared.
But it was already too late.
âOh, there are still some that slipped through the net. You must be the several attendants of Zhenyuan Country, right? Youâve brought me some good heads, saving me quite a bit of time.â
Li Xiaobaiâs wrist flicked, and another longsword appeared in his left hand, casually waving it towards the direction of the rushing attendants.
In an instant, the divine light flowing around the attendants dissipated like melting snow, and their bodies uncontrollably charged towards Li Xiaobai, knees hitting the ground, hands raised high, firmly kneeling at the feet of Li Xiaobai.
âWhat the hellâ¦â
âWhatâs this? You can control someone with a cultivation level of the fourth layer of Tribulation Crossing?â
âWhat exactly is this sword?â
