Xue Jianhe stopped what he was doing and roared furiously, "Which bastard dares to challenge the Noxious Blood Gang? Show your face!"

"Hehe, I'm here. Bastards from the Noxious Blood Gang, come and accept your death," said Xiang Shaoyun as he casually strode over from not far away. There was a smile hanging on his face.

A short while ago, Xiang Shaoyun had sensed what was happening with his Nether Soul Domain. Thus, he came over. To his surprise, he saw Xue Jianhe humiliating the Han Clan sisters. He couldn't watch any longer and decided to do something about it.

More importantly, Scorching Blood Monarch from the Noxious Blood Gang was his enemy, and the Noxious Blood Gang was preparing to attack the Skeleton Gang. There was no way he would allow this group to return to the city.

"Huh? It's a little boy? Old Meng, what are you waiting for? Deal with him. Don't spoil my fun," said Xue Jianhe with disdain.

Meng Gansu waved his hand at his subordinates, getting them to surround Xiang Shaoyun. At his command, several late-stage Skysoar Realm cultivators surrounded Xiang Shaoyun and sent numerous random attacks toward him. This combined assault was enough to deal with any regular peak King. In their eyes, this kid was only a seventh-stage King. Even if he was a super genius, there was no way he could survive.

The Han Clan sisters became excited when they saw Xiang Shaoyun, but when they saw the barrage of attacks sent his way, their hearts started thumping nervously. The Noxious Blood Gang people sent several waves of attack in a row toward Xiang Shaoyun, showing him zero mercy. However, not one of the attacks could break Xiang Shaoyun's Six Goldplate Manual.

"Your attacks are too weak to even scratch my itch," said Xiang Shaoyun. He soared to the sky and kicked several times.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Instantly, several small hurricanes appeared and crashed into his opponents.

"Ahhhh!"

The Kings couldn't even react before they were struck by the hurricanes, coughed blood, and died.

"This kid is quite strong. De Jia, go deal with him," commanded Meng Gansu with a frown.

At that command, a first-stage Dragon Ascension Realm expert charged Xiang Shaoyun. Mid flight, he sent a massive blue hand formed of energy flying toward Xiang Shaoyun, as if a massive lake was crashing down upon him. It was a palm attack mighty enough to kill any peak King. Only a War Emperor would stand a chance to put up some fight against it.

"Hmph. A mere first-stage Emperor is dreaming of killing me? You are underestimating me," said Xiang Shaoyun. His battle intent surged as he charged forth like a raging dragon. He threw out a Lightning Bolt Fist. A massive explosion erupted, and the punch blew apart the blue energy palm. As for Xiang Shaoyun himself, he was nowhere to be seen.

"De Jia, watch out behind you!" Meng Gansu sensed that Xiang Shaoyun had quickly arrived behind De Jia the instant the fist and the palm collided.

With the reminder, De Jia immediately erupted with aura and surrounded himself with an energy barrier to protect himself. At the same time, he sent several bright blue palm attacks behind him, forcing Xiang Shaoyun to retreat.

Although Xiang Shaoyun had grown much stronger, without using any trump cards, he was merely a War Emperor. With this much strength, fighting a first-stage Emperor equally was already an amazing feat.

However, he possessed a speed comparable to a second-stage or even a third-stage Emperor. Using his speed superiority, he circled the Emperor while throwing punch after punch, bombarding the Emperor with a series of lightning attacks, forcing the Emperor into a defensive position.

The humiliation infuriated De Jia, and he roared as he erupted with strength, "Damn it! A puny King dares to provoke an Emperor? Die!"

The blue radiance around him became resplendent, as if a sea had formed around him. Numerous waves rippled out of him, forcefully pushing Xiang Shaoyun into a retreat. He took this opportunity when Xiang Shaoyun was disrupted, and formed a seal with his hands before blasting Xiang Shaoyun with another attack.

Roiling Sea Seal!

This was an extremely dreadful seal attack, capable of unleashing a might that could overturn seas. This was the true strength of an Emperor, and regular War Emperors were nothing before such might. Upon reaching the Dragon Ascension Realm, a cultivator would gain an ability to accurately control the spiritual energy in the air to release powerful and destructive attacks.

The wave attack had just disrupted Xiang Shaoyun, and he had no way of avoiding the rapidly arriving Roiling Sea Seal. Thus, he was forced to channel the power of his gold star into his finger and jab the wave with his full power.

Vicious Prison Finger!

The Vicious Prison Finger had the sharpness of gold energy and the support of vicious energy, granting it a dreadful might. The two attacks collided and created an explosion of two different powers. The Vicious Prison Finger was slightly weaker than the Roiling Sea Seal, and it crumbled apart while the seal pressed on toward Xiang Shaoyun.

Bang!

When the seal attack hit, a look of disdain appeared on De Jia's face. De Jia said, "This kid must have hit his head somewhere. Why is he challenging the Noxious Blood Gang with only this much strength?"

"Hehe, you are the one who has hit your head somewhere. Why are you trying to kill this young master with just this much strength? That won't work, you know? Come on, use everything you have," said Xiang Shaoyun, once again appearing before De Jia. His clothes were in a mess, but he did not seem to have suffered any bad injuries.

Three layers of complete golden walls and a 70 percent complete golden wall were surrounding him, shining resplendently.

"A high-tier defensive technique? De Jia, kill him. I want this technique," said Meng Gansu with a look of greed in his eyes.

"Yes, Lord Meng," De Jia answered. A trident appeared in his hand, and he attacked with it.

Surging Wave Crush!

De Jia attacked with his full power, sending a wall of trident energies toward Xiang Shaoyun. Each trident was extremely powerful, possessing the might of a torrential wave.

"This is more like it!" Xiang Shaoyun said in excitement.

A pair of gloves appeared around his hands as he sent numerous Lightning Bolt Fists flying forward. With a massive amount of electrical currents dancing around him, each punch was sent out without him holding anything back. Both his legs were kicking without stop as well, sending attacks of wind and lightning that worked together to showcase the power of a War Emperor.

Rumble! Rumble!

An intense battle erupted between the two, creating numerous explosions around them.

"What a trash. He can't even kill a seventh-stage Skysoar Realm bastard? What an embarrassment to the Noxious Blood Gang! You two, go! Kill him already. Stop wasting my time, and don't spoil my mood," said Xue Jianhe unhappily.
