Chapter 537 - 537 Qiongyu
He was curious about why he always ran into this woman.
Qiongyu was equally curious, “How strange, the chances of bumping into each other multiple times in this vast War God space are pitifully small.”
“You are indeed a bit peculiar.”
“And… How has your strength grown so much in such a short time?”
“Haven’t you also increased your strength as well?” Jiang Xiaobai chuckled.
He had gained some understanding of this War God space system. If Qiongyu in front of him hadn’t improved, they wouldn’t have had a chance to meet at all!
Because the pace at which Jiang Xiaobai was improving was alarmingly terrifying!
However, Qiongyu’s rating in the War God system was also constantly rising, otherwise, they surely wouldn’t have met.
“I’m not like you.”
Qiongyu said coldly, “Enough talk, let’s get to it.”
Jiang Xiaobai nodded. He knew that wasting time was meaningless, so he charged forward to start the battle.
This time, he dared not take it lightly and gave everything he had!
But what he never expected was that he was still no match for Qiongyu.
In an instant, Jiang Xiaobai found himself in a stone chamber.
Looking at his own hands, Jiang Xiaobai was at once amused and upset.
He thought his progress was terrifying, but compared to Qiongyu, his improvement seemed insignificant.
Especially because Qiongyu remained at the peak of the Tribulation after stage without changing.
However, this did not mean that Jiang Xiaobai was really incapable. This time, he was the only one who saw clearly how Qiongyu made her move!
She simply flicked her wrist gently.
Just like that!
Just thinking about it, Jiang Xiaobai was utterly astonished. The opponent took his life so easily with just a casual flick of her wrist!
And this was in the War God space, without any treasures or other things to enhance her!
If he faced Qiongyu in the real world, Jiang Xiaobai wouldn’t even have the ability to resist.
“Is the gap really that big?”
Jiang Xiaobai murmured, wondering why there was such a big gap between him and Qiongyu even though they were at the same stage.
“Could it really be a problem with the rules of the world?”
Jiang Xiaobai was extremely curious.
He knew that Qiongyu was from the Upper Three Thousand realm and compared to it, the Tianxuan Continent where he was from was nothing.
He guessed that the difference between these realms resulted in completely different abilities even if they were at the same stage.
“I’m really looking forward to visiting the Upper Three Thousand realm and broadening my horizons someday.”
Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but sigh at this thought, but soon, he remembered that he could complete the task of world traversal using the system.
Especially now that the prerequisite task had been completed.
“System, when will the challenge task of crossing the world barrier be released?”
“According to the evaluation of the host’s personal strength, the task will be automatically issued by the system once the host’s strength reaches the top of the pyramid on the Tianxuan Continent.”
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai secretly nodded in agreement and did not say anything more.
Clenching his fists, he knew what he should do now.
…
Not far from the outside of Cliff City, there were more than fifty men dressed in black standing in a clearing!
All of these men were experts from the Holy City, and in front of them was a sack, with a person tied up inside.
Around the perimeter of these high-level Holy City experts, there were as many as a thousand people!
They did not make any attempt to hide, nor were they here to watch the show. They were part of the coalition that vowed to kill Jiang Xiaobai.
They came here for one purpose, to kill Jiang Xiaobai or to watch him die.
Everyone knew where the fifty or so men in black came from and the kind of power and status they held!
“Is that dog Jiang Xiaobai too scared to show up?”
“Who knows? Can’t believe he doesn’t care about his own disciple?”
“Take a look at the disciple, Jiang Xiaobai has barely given any guidance.”
The men in black had been waiting for a long time, but half a day passed and Jiang Xiaobai still hadn’t shown up.
This inconvenienced those who had a high opinion of Ouyang Haohai, as it was his idea to capture Huseng in order to make Jiang Xiaobai show up.
But how much time had passed since they spread the news?
Not only had Jiang Xiaobai not shown up, they hadn’t even heard any news from him. It was like he had evaporated from the earth.
“Ouyang Haohai, are you messing with us on purpose?” A disciple from the Void Sect frowned.
He still had a lot of disgruntlement towards this person who had been specially recruited in.
Not just him, other disciples from the Void Sect, and even those experts from the Holy City, all looked at Ouyang Haohai in the crowd.
Suddenly, Ouyang Haohai felt confused.
He guaranteed that Huseng was Jiang Xiaobai’s disciple and any master who turned a blind eye to their disciple being bullied like this would have their reputation ruined!
Anyone would come!
“Relax, Jiang Xiaobai will definitely come back. This is his only disciple. Let’s wait a bit longer, if he doesn’t show up today, just kill him!”
After thinking about it, Ouyang Haohai explained with flushed cheeks.
He felt a bit panic inside, after all, he was the eldest brother in Jade Ling Palace, but here, in front of so many experts from the Holy City, he was nobody.
If this stratagem indeed resulted in a split, not only would everyone blame him, but he might also be risking his life!
Jian Wuhui, that guy, hated Jiang Xiaobai so much that if Jiang Xiaobai didn’t show up, he’d surely vent his anger on him.
“Let’s give him a bit more time.” Jian Wuhui squinted and stared deeply at Ouyang Haohai.
Just then, suddenly someone in the crowd thought of something and cried in surprise.
“Could that dog Jiang Xiaobai have gone to raid our base in the Holy City?”
Once these words came out, everyone was shocked at first, then laughed loudly.
“Stop joking, if Jiang Xiaobai dares to go to the Holy City, he’ll definitely be torn to pieces.”
One disciple scoffed, “That damn Jiang Xiaobai, he’s quite clever, he knew he couldn’t keep his treasures safe, so he pawned them off?”
“Pity, the treasures might not be with him, but Jiang Xiaobai’s life, I, Li Xi have claimed it.” Li Xi sneered continuously.
He kept rubbing his hands together in anticipation of Jiang Xiaobai’s arrival, when he would be caught between a rock and a hard place!
Everyone had this idea, and the person who suggested the idea earlier immediately blushed, as if he had done something extremely embarrassing.
Yet, the corresponding fact was that Jiang Xiaobai hadn’t shown up until now, which made all these people feel angry.
Why hasn’t Jiang Xiaobai come yet?
Just then, suddenly, a figure burst out of the ground and appeared before them.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Ouyang Haohai’s face filled with excitement.
Jiang Xiaobai had really arrived.
And he had come all alone, single-handedly!
