Chapter 496: 496: Weren’t You Very Awesome?
“You seemed pretty cocky just now, acting like some top-tier mastermind who could easily crush me.”
“Huh? Not feeling so bold now?”
After saying that, Jiang Xiaobai lunged towards Feng Xiushan.
Feng Xiushan was startled at his speed. Remembering Jiang Xiaobai’s terrifying strength, he couldn’t believe his eyes!
How could such a desolate place like the Northern State have such a monstrous genius?
The guy was merely in the late Dividing the Gods stage!
If he reached the initial Transcending Tribulation stage, wouldn’t he kill him as easily as if squashing an ant?
Despite his shock, Feng Xiushan wasn’t completely losing his judgment. He knew Jiang Xiaobai was powerful, but it was simply not possible for him to kill him.
Just as Jiang Xiaobai approached, a golden clock appeared in Feng Xiushan’s hand.
The clock rapidly expanded, eventually enveloping him.
Immediately after, Jiang Xiaobai struck it with his sword.
Thud!
The sound was deafening. Jiang Xiaobai felt a sharp pain in his eardrums, let alone Feng Xiushan inside the clock.
At that moment, Feng Xiushan felt like his head was bleeding!
He gritted his teeth against the pain, and through the clock, he stared at Jiang Xiaobai with pure hatred, as if he wanted to rip him apart alive!
“Very well, you’re the only one who can make me, a prince, look so disgraced. You just wait, I won’t let you get away with this!”
Feng Xiushan roared.
His voice could actually penetrate the clock, reaching Jiang Xiaobai clearly.
Then, the artifact started spinning rapidly, and eventually, it vanished from sight, leaving no trace as to where it went.
Without a doubt, that bastard had run away!
Jiang Xiaobai touched his nose, looking unconcerned.
Run away then. He’d beaten him once, and he could easily do it again next time they met.
As for his identity as someone from the Holy City, so what?
Jiang Xiaobai had never been afraid!
Without further ado, Jiang Xiaobai turned to watch the intense fight nearby.
After slicing off one of Feng Wu’s arms with a single strike, Ao Yan stopped participating and left the rest to Ao Cheng and Zhuang Huanling.
Ao Cheng didn’t disappoint. After a long battle, he crushed Feng Wu’s heart with a punch!
Feng Wu collapsed to his knees, disbelief and resentment written all over his face.
He couldn’t believe he had been killed by such a bunch of amateurs!
The strongest among them was just Ao Yan, who was at most at the pinnacle of the Fusion stage. In his eyes, the rest were as insignificant as rotten shrimp and stinky fish.
He could squash them easily.
And now, these people he had never taken seriously had actually killed him?
Even in death, Feng Wu couldn’t understand what had happened!
“Bloody hell, dare to attack this young master, are you seeking death?”
“You dog-like thing, just because you have a powerful master, do you think you’re all that?”
“Hmph, what ‘Prince’, he’s just a piece of trash, he’s still being hammered by my brother, right?”
Ao Cheng mocked Feng Wu’s corpse unceasingly after killing him.
If Feng Wu could see this in the afterlife, he’d definitely be infuriated to the point of resurrection!
“Enough, cut the shit and let’s go.”
Jiang Xiaobai laughed lightly, walked up and helped Kong Yuhuai, who was buried in the ruins of the wine shop.
Ever since the fight began, no one had taken care of him, so it was a relief that he was relatively unscathed, otherwise, it would have been a major headache.
Carrying the drunken Kong Yuhuai, the group hurried back to the Zijing Pavilion.
The happenings at the wine shop quickly spread throughout Qingxuan City!
The city was astir!
Those who hadn’t witnessed the real fight only heard that several Dividing-the-gods stage masters and a Fusion stage one had defeated two mid-Transcending Tribulation individuals, one dead and one fled.
Such a record was terrifying, and those who heard rumors were shocked.
Those who were on the outskirts of the fight, watching, were even more startled.
At the scene, if they didn’t know any better, they’d think it was a fight to the death between two peak Transcending Tribulation masters!
Suddenly, someone recognized that one of the fighters was Jiang Xiaobai.
For a moment, the people of Qingxuan City were not just shaken, they were scared!
Jiang Xiaobai?!
“Damn, is this the same Jiang Xiaobai who caused quite a ruckus in the Northern State upon his first arrival?”
“It’s him, he’s like a plague wherever he goes, always stirring up trouble!”
“There’s never a moment of peace, it’s a wonder how he’s still alive and hasn’t been killed yet with all the trouble he causes.”
As the crowd speculated, Jiang Xiaobai and his gang were already enjoying food and drinks in the courtyard of the Zijing Pavilion.
The group didn’t pay much attention to the events of the afternoon, especially Jiang Xiaobai.
Having been around for such a long time, what kind of situations hadn’t he encountered?
What was this compared to those?
It wasn’t until late in the night that Kong Yuhuai sobered up from his drunken stupor, completely oblivious to the events of the afternoon.
Seeing Kong Yuhuai staggering around, Ao Cheng felt irritated.
However, since Kong was due to compete in the alchemy competition the next day, he didn’t confront him about it.
He was more curious about why Jiang Xiaobai wasn’t participating?
“Indeed, Brother Jiang, your alchemy skills are far superior to mine, so why aren’t you participating?”
Kong Yuhuai spoke in surprise, “This is the grandest alchemy competition in the Eastern Territory, where all the alchemy geniuses from the territory will participate. It’s even rumored that the Holy City will send people to check it out.”
“If one performs well in the alchemy competition, they might attract the attention of the experts in the Holy City, who might invite them to become guests and receive special training!”
“Moreover, the champion of the competition will certainly have a high status in the Holy City!”
“Brother Jiang, with your dreadful alchemy skills, it really would be a pity if you didn’t go.”
Ignoring Kong Yuhuai’s continued regret, Jiang Xiaobai shook his head.
He knew clearly how advanced his alchemy skills were. To participate in such a competition would be akin to bullying others.
It’s like a university student going to a kindergarten and teasing children.
It’s not interesting at all!
As for being respected by these powerful factions in the Holy City, he didn’t care about it either.
Jiang Xiaobai only trusted his own strength for respect. So what if his alchemy skills were strong? If you can’t even protect your own life, what good does it do?
Fame? Seeking assistance?
It’s absolutely nonsense!
But it does have a great ability to make money…
Therefore, Jiang Xiaobai didn’t delve into the topic of the alchemy competition with Kong Yuhuai and the others.
At the same time, within a palace in the Holy City.
Feng Xiushan had a ferocious look on his face, his facial features almost twisted!
“Jiang Xiaobai, you bastard. You’ve made me a laughingstock. I swear, this isn’t over between us!”
