Chapter 518: Sovereign's Wrath

The newcomer was none other than Xiang Shaoyun, who had just returned from the Devil Domain . The moment he left the Devil Domain, he sensed that the three Skeletons were in bad shape . Thus, he rushed back to their headquarters .

Although the three Skeletons weren't exactly upstanding citizens, they were now under his control and were now his subordinates . How could he allow others to eliminate his subordinates? Thus, he rushed back as quickly as possible the moment he sensed what was happening . Fortunately, he had arrived just in time to prevent the full destruction of the Skeleton Gang .

Noxious Blood had not entered the Sovereign Realm for long . He had been waiting on dealing with the Skeleton Gang, as he needed some time to stabilize his cultivation base . On top of that, the rumors spread by the Ghostface Sect that they were protecting the Skeleton Gang had caused him to not dare to make any reckless moves .

In fact, even the attack today was primarily done with the intention to probe the Ghostface Sect's reaction . If the Ghostface Sect really did show themselves, he would retreat . And if they didn't, he would absorb the Skeleton Gang into his own gang . The Ghostface Sect had not appeared, but a group led by a young man had appeared instead . One of the members in the group was Meng Gansu, an elder of the Noxious Blood Gang .

Scorching Blood was able to recognize Xiang Shaoyun with one look, and he immediately pointed at him and shouted, "You still dare to show yourself, you little bastard? Today, I will take your life to avenge my son!"

After saying that, Scorching Blood personally attacked Xiang Shaoyun . He cultivated the power of flame, and as he attacked, a clump of fire shot out of his weapon and flew toward Xiang Shaoyun .

"You want to harm my young master? Dream on!" Du Xuanhao roared and drew his saber . With a simple swing of the saber, the fireball was dispersed .

Moving like the wind, he charged Scorching Blood . Like Xiang Shaoyun, Du Xuanhao had also cultivated footwork intent . After over a year of training in the Devil Domain, he had finally entered the moving like the wind stage, and his speed had more than doubled .

The combination of saber intent and footwork intent was too much for Scorching Blood to deal with, and he was forced to request help from Noxious Blood . "Great monarch, save me!"

As Scorching Blood begged for help, Noxious Blood sent a claw attack toward Du Xuanhao . It was a casual attack, and Noxious Blood believed that it was enough to kill Du Xuanhao . Alas, he was mistaken . Not only did Du Xuanhao determine the trajectory of the attack, he even destroyed the attack with a swing of his saber . The only thing the attack accomplished was forcing Du Xuanhao to take several steps backward . He was still completely unharmed .

"Is this the strength of a Sovereign? Nothing special at all," said Du Xuanhao . He was akin to an exceptional saber, and it was time to display his outstanding combat prowess .

Noxious Blood frowned and said, "Saber Emperor Du Xuanhao?"

"Haha, the great monarch of the Noxious Blood Gang actually knows my name? Today, allow me to have a taste at the combat prowess of a Sovereign!" said Du Xuanhao as he howled with laughter . With the human saber unity active, he charged Noxious Blood .

"You are overestimating yourself," said Noxious Blood with a snort as he finally erupted with the true strength of a Soul Foundation Realm cultivator .

The eruption placed a massive pressure on the very souls of the people present, causing them all to shiver in fear . Due to the suppression of their souls, they couldn't even move their physical bodies anymore . This was why Soul Foundation Realm cultivators were scary . Whether it be Kings or Emperors, they could rely on their presence to suppress and prevail over those with lower cultivation levels than them .

But a Soul Foundation Realm cultivator was capable of forming spiritual pressure to affect someone, suppressing their opponent's soul to plant fear in their mind before killing them with a single strike . The two were entirely different methods of suppression, with the latter being truly capable of suppressing even tens of thousands of people .

There was a saying that the wrath of a Sovereign would result in fields of corpses . That much was proof of a Sovereign's might . Apart from the Noxious Blood Gang members, everyone there seemed to have been struck by some invisible attacks, and many started coughing blood .

Du Xuanhao was also a target of this suppression, but his will remained firm as he continued his attack . This was the benefit of having cleansed himself with the blood cocoon stone . He now possessed a much stronger physique .

Noxious Blood was displeased with the fact that he couldn't defeat Du Xuanhao through suppression alone . Thus, he said, "Today, I will use you to establish my dominance!"

He erupted with power, sending a massive power crashing forth toward Du Xuanhao . And thus, a battle erupted between a Sovereign and an Emperor high in the sky . Scorching Blood took the chance to command his men to kill the Skeleton Gang members who refused to submit, with the leaders as their priority targets . If they were allowed to recover, things would get troublesome . As for himself, he wanted to personally kill Xiang Shaoyun to take revenge for his dead son .

But before Scorching Blood could arrive before Xiang Shaoyun, Han Pojun stepped forth and said, "Young Master Xiang, let me deal with this fellow . "

He then charged Scorching Blood . Now, only Meng Gansu and the Han Clan sisters were left around Xiang Shaoyun .

"Old Meng, go say hi to your ex-brothers . Don't worry about me," said Xiang Shaoyun indifferently .

Meng Gansu nodded and charged toward the Noxious Blood Gang members . The Noxious Blood Gang members knew who Meng Gansu was, but they were unaware that he was already under Xiang Shaoyun's control . The moment he arrived in their midst, he killed a few of them .

Meanwhile, Xiang Shaoyun brought the Han Clan sisters with him and headed toward the three Skeletons . Naturally, someone from the Noxious Blood Gang tried to stop them .

"A tiny King dares to disregard our Noxious Blood Gang? Die!" said an Emperor . But before he could even do anything, a tall and slim figure appeared before him . With a punch, his chest exploded .

"Kill them all," commanded Xiang Shaoyun, showing no mercy whatsoever .

At his command, the nether prison devil puppet started slaughtering the Noxious Blood Gang members . This was a puppet with the combat prowess of a late-stage Sovereign . Thus, under its assault, the Noxious Blood Gang members were akin to vegetables on a chopping board . They were utterly defeated, their corpses creating rivers of blood .

Noxious Blood also noticed the existence of the nether prison devil puppet, and he started getting nervous . He could see just how terrifying that puppet was . In fact, that puppet wasn't weaker than him at all .

Furthermore, Du Xuanhao actually had the strength to put up a fight against him . Although he still had the advantage in the fight, he wasn't able to immediately kill Du Xuanhao . If this continued, the entire Noxious Blood Gang would be slaughtered before he could kill Du Xuanhao .

Noxious Blood’s gaze landed on Xiang Shaoyun, coming to a realization that this young man was the one controlling the puppet . So long as he could take this young man down, the crisis would be over . At that thought, he blasted Du Xuanhao away before quickly flying toward Xiang Shaoyun .

"Die, kid!" shouted Noxious Blood as he churned his soul foundation and sent a boundless soul power crashing down upon Xiang Shaoyun before following up with a casual slap . He believed this would be enough to reduce Xiang Shaoyun into a pile of mincemeat . Unfortunately for him, the nether prison devil puppet appeared in front of him before his palm could hit Xiang Shaoyun .
