To summon lightning bolts, one had to first possess a body strong enough to withstand the power of lightning. Generally, a lightning cultivator had to first go through the tempering of natural lightning bolts and obtain the ability to connect one's stars to the natural world before one could start summoning them.

Thus, reaching the King Realm and forming a certain degree of resonance with lightning were the minimum requirements. More often than not, many lightning cultivators would only be capable of this feat upon reaching late-stage King Realm.

Just summoning and borrowing the power of one or two lightning bolts would be enough to greatly increase one's combat prowess. As for Xiang Shaoyun's feat of easily summoning 12 mutated lightning bolts at once, this was something even those with the Innate Lightning Celestial Physique might not be able to do.

The sight of the 12 silver lightning bolts shocked Bai Yuji. But with his outstanding combat prowess, he swung his sword 12 times and destroyed all 12 of the lighting bolts before they could arrive. However, the only thing he accomplished was stopping the lightning bolts. Xiang Shaoyun's fist still arrived, striking him.

Bang!

Bai Yuji's defensive shield instantly collapsed, and the punch landed a clean hit on his nose. Blood sprayed out. Bai Yuji felt terrible. The punch had caused him to feel lightheaded and his vision to blur. Furthermore, the punch was powered by innate purple lightning, which also burned and numbed Bai Yuji. It was an extremely rough attack.

Xiang Shaoyun pressed on without pause as he continued attacking with the Lightning Bolt Fist, sending a torrential rain of fists toward his opponent. Every single punch was aimed at Bai Yuji's face. Thus, no matter how high Bai Yuji's cultivation level was, he still failed to escape the fate of having his whole face bruised. Even his long silky hair had been set on fire after the lightning burned it.

Furious, he created layers of blue energy shields around him before Xiang Shaoyun's final punch could hit, bouncing the punch off. A radiant blue light then erupted from his entire body. His aura surged to his limit as he roared, "Xiang Shaoyun, take my ultimate trump card, Torrential Tsunami!"

This was Bai Yuji's strongest attack, one with a might comparable to an Emperor's attack. However, the attack had barely been launched and hadn't even fully displayed its power by the time Xiang Shaoyun broke through it.

Havoc Dance—Havoc Fingers!

The moment Xiang Shaoyun noticed Bai Yuji's energy flow, he was able to determine the trajectory of the attack and react with a jab of his finger. Havoc Dance was his self-created technique capable of move prediction.

The reason "Havoc" was part of its name was because there were no set moves. He could use it with fingers, punches, palms, and even weapons. He only needed to adapt and chose the most suitable method to deal with his opponent.

Thus, he separated his Havoc Dance into several styles, naming them respectively Finger, Fist, Palm, Foot, and Weapon. And since he was using his finger this time, it was named Havoc Finger.

This so-called Havoc Finger was in fact an ordinary finger attack, yet he mixed the power of the incomparable sharp vicious gold energy within it, allowing his finger to penetrate all defenses.

Bang!

And since the essence of Havoc Dance was move prediction, before Bai Yuji fully unleashed the attack, Xiang Shaoyun's finger arrived at an opening and instantly caused the attack to fall apart.

Sphhlt!

Failing to fully release his attack caused Bai Yuji to suffer a backlash. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his aura started plummeting.

"Die!" Xiang Shaoyun moved like a specter and arrived at Bai Yuji's flank before throwing out another punch.

This time, Bai Yuji could no longer do anything. The punch struck his head, blasting it apart and killing him. One could say that Bai Yuji had died with great indignation. After all, he couldn't even fully release his strongest attack before he had died.

This was the true strength of the Havoc Dance Xiang Shaoyun had created. If one was able to predict the trajectory of an opponent's attack and find an opening, one would be able to finish off one's opponent with one move. This was certainly a terrifying new high-level battle technique.

Unlike other battle techniques he knew, he could also continue improving it. In the future, it would become even more powerful. As for how high this technique could reach, it would depend on how powerful he could make it.

After killing Bai Yuji, Xiang Shaoyun looked back and yelled at the other enemies, "Bai Yuji has been slain. It's your turn to die!"

As he spoke, he utilized the Tiger's Roar, causing his voice to rumble onward, displaying his majestic might. Bai Yuji's companions started panicking. After all, Bai Yuji was the strongest among them, yet he didn't even last long against Xiang Shaoyun. It was obvious how strong Xiang Shaoyun was.

"Kill!" Xiang Shaoyun roared as a murderous killing intent surged out of him. The Overlord Skyslaying Saber appeared in his hand as he activated his human saber unity mode before swinging the saber.

Thunder rumbled in the sky above as numerous silver lightning bolts rained down. A terrifying saber energy glided through the air and instantly arrived before one of the cultivators surrounding Jin Shui.

That person was greatly frightened. He clenched his teeth and used all the power he had to block the attack. Unfortunately for him, Xiang Shaoyun's attack had surpassed the might of a peak King. This was the might of a War Emperor. The lightning bolts arrived, bombarding the cultivator into a sorry shape. Then, one of his arms was sent flying in the air. He wailed and, gripping his wound, started fleeing.

Naturally, Xiang Shaoyun would not spare him. He swung his saber once again, slashing him into two. The bloody scene shocked the others, and they could no longer be bothered with Jin Shui and Ling Lin. They stopped attacking and scattered everywhere.

Xiang Shaoyun wanted to give chase, but he suddenly sensed a large number of devil wind beast kings approaching them. There were about 50 or 60 of them, and each was a late-stage Devil King. It would seem like they were here to surround and kill all the humans.

Xiang Shaoyun's face sank when he found how fast the devil wind beasts were moving. There were even ninth-stage Devil Kings among their ranks. These ninth-stage Devil Kings moved so fast even Xiang Shaoyun could barely get a clear look at them.

"Come with me! Quick!" Xiang Shaoyun directly dragged the injured Jin Shui and Ling Lin toward a direction with no incoming devil wind beasts.

Jin Shui and Ling Lin had no idea what was going on, but since they were injured and Xiang Shaoyun was their savior, they believed that he was only doing this because he had sensed even more danger.

Both of them were geniuses that had always been haughty and arrogant. But when they noticed how fast they were moving while Xiang Shaoyun was dragging them, they found it hard to believe he was only a fourth-stage Skysoar Realm cultivator.

And when they recalled the dreadful combat prowess Xiang Shaoyun had, both of them exclaimed inwardly, With this speed, he is like the son of the wind.

For the very first time, they felt a sincere admiration for him.
