Chapter 1304: Should I Get Rid of All of Them?
On a small hill, three heavenly peach trees swayed in the breeze.
All of the heavenly peaches on the trees also swayed along with the leaves and branches, flaunting their delectable bodies and striking onlookers with the urge to pick all of them off their respective trees.
“Oh? Looks like someone else is coming?” a light, ethereal voice suddenly sounded.
An Lin turned to discover a man sitting in mid-air with a semi-translucent white-wind body who was looking down at him.
His eyes were like blue flames, and his body was as insubstantial as the wind. An Lin could just make out the outlines of a man. He could even see through him to the tree leaves and dust particles in the air.
This strange living being was the Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure of the Hall of Creation, Wind Walker!
“This is the first cultivator below Dao Integration Stage that has arrived here, right?” an extremely handsome man said with a smile.
An Lin turned around, and his heart jolted again with a hint of surprise.
Sect Leader Xuanyuan Lun of the Ten-Thousand Spirits Immortal Sect was also here!
“Sect Leader An Lin really is an exceptional talent. You were just lying in a coffin not long ago, but you’ve managed to get here ahead most of the other contestants.” Zhu Xuze was also here, and he spoke with an expression of approval and acknowledgment on his face as he looked at An Lin.
An Lin was going to be his future nephew-in-law, so he had to assess An Lin for himself.
At the moment, he was very impressed with what he was seeing!
Even though An Lin had been severely debilitated, he was able to get to this point ahead of many powerful beings and mighty figures, some of whom were even Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures. This was a small miracle in itself, and it was very much worthy of praise.
“An Lin pays his respects to all Seniors present.”
An Lin was given a fright by this bustling scene, and he quickly calmed his emotions before extending a respectful greeting.
He had thought that he was the first one to have reached the three heavenly peach trees, only to find that there were three super mighty figures here before him!
Wait, there was also a rock golem who appeared to be quite mundane and ordinary sitting nearby.
The rock golem was silently looking up at the sky, and An Lin would have mistaken it for a natural rock formation if it wasn’t for the two eyes on its head.
An Lin had seen this rock golem on the Heavenly Peach Banquet. This was Emperor Bo Lun of the Stone Tribe!
Hence, there were actually four Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures gathered here.
“There is an extremely formidable energy barrier around the three heavenly peach trees. Even I can’t do anything about it,” Little Xie said with furrowed brows.
An Lin instantly came to a realization upon hearing this. That energy barrier must have been why these four super mighty figures had not accessed the heavenly peach trees.
“What do we do then?” An Lin asked.
“This energy is slowly receding. I think it will eventually become weak enough for me to be able to break through it using brute force,” Little Xie continued.
An Lin looked around at all of the super mighty figures. That was probably what all of them were plotting as well.
“Mr. An Lin, that little girl looks quite interesting. Is she your sword spirit?” Zhu Xuze asked with a curious expression.
An Lin was keen to make a good impression on his future uncle-in-law, and he immediately gave a polite response.
“This is indeed my sword spirit. Her name is Little Xie. She’s quite powerful, so she’s able to manifest herself here,” An Lin explained.
All of the super mighty figures’ expressions shifted upon hearing this.
“That’s extraordinary…”
“This sword spirit must be very powerful indeed.”
“What an adorable little girl.”
…
Zhu Xuze was really liking what he was seeing from An Lin. “Your sword spirit is very adorable. Can I hold her?”
An Lin shuddered upon hearing this, and he was just about to clamp a hand over Little Xie’s mouth when Little Xie replied with a cold smile, “Piss off!”
Deathly silence ensued.
An Lin: “…”
Zhu Xuze: “…”
He was too slow in the end…
This was the perfect opportunity to curry his future uncle-in-law’s favor, but it had been ruined by Little Xie. An Lin was on the verge of tears as he provided an urgent explanation to Zhu Xuze.
Zhu Xuze was quite amicable and accepted An Lin’s explanation with a hearty laugh. He had even praised Little Xie for having character and that it was quite a refreshing experience to have someone be so rude to him after all this time.
Little Xie became even more disdainful toward him upon hearing this…
After a short while.
Boom boom boom…
The enchantment barriers around the three heavenly peach trees all tremored slightly, and they seemed to have become weaker as a result.
All of the Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures immediately focused their attention.
This was the perfect time to strike!
“Hehe… Looks like it’s time. May the best man win,” Xuanyuan Lun said with a warm smile.
“Mr. An Lin, don’t blame me for not going easy on you. If you insist on fighting for these heavenly peach trees, you’ll have to prepare yourself for the possibility of being severely injured.” Zhu Xuze also smiled with absolute confidence glowing in his eyes.
Wind Walker didn’t say anything. His eyes were completely glued to the three heavenly peach trees.
In a contest of speed and stealing things, no one could beat him here.
Emperor Bo Lun also came to his senses and looked around at his surroundings before focusing his attention on the heavenly peach trees.
All of the super mighty figures were preparing themselves for battle.
A tender, yet domineering voice suddenly asked, “An Lin, why don’t we get rid of these annoying guys first?”
Everyone instantly fell silent.
All of the mighty figures turned toward the little girl with incredulity etched on their faces.
“What did she say?”
“Ahem… I think she said she was going to get rid of all of us…”
“Er, Mr. An Lin, your sword spirit is, for lack of a better term, a little naive.”
Zhu Xuze tried to put things in a euphemistic way.
“Come fight me if you want to die.” Wind Walker was a lot more direct.
In his eyes, An Lin and Little Xie were no threat to him at all.
An Lin was also getting quite tense. “Why instigate a battle now? Shouldn’t we wait?”
“Wait? They’ll turn on us soon anyway. Shouldn’t we eliminate them before they have a chance to compete with us for the heavenly peach trees?” Little Xie answered his question with a question of her own.
An Lin had no response to that.
All of the super mighty figures were even more astonished.
From An Lin and Little Xie’s conversation, it appeared as if they were sure that they could defeat all of the super mighty figures here, and the only choice they had to make was whether to pick them off sooner or later!
“Don’t bite off more than you can chew.” Zhu Xuze couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Little Xie turned to him. “Alright, I’ll start off with you then. Be careful now.”
Generally speaking, Little Xie wouldn’t offer her opponents any words of caution before she attacked them.
However, Zhu Xuze was going to be one of An Lin’s future relatives, so she decided to be nicer to him.
Zhu Xuze chortled with mirth. “Come on then. Both of you can fight together. I’ll make sure to go easy on you.”
An Lin waved his hands with a smile. “I’m not fighting.”
Anyone here could easily beat the crap out of him, so of course he wasn’t going to fight!
He was just going to have to get Little Xie to carry him again!
Whoosh!
Little Xie stamped down onto the ground, and the earth split open explosively as she hurtled toward Zhu Xuze, leaving an afterimage in her wake. Her Evil-Slaying Sword was like a bolt of inky-black lightning, which was aiming directly for Zhu Xuze’s heart.
So fast!
Zhu Xuze’s expression shifted drastically as he snapped his fingers.
Boom!
White Holy Vermilion Flames exploded forth.
Terrifying, scorching flames melted the earth within a radius of over a hundred meters, and powerful shockwaves erupted forth for several hundred meters, making An Lin stumble back in retreat and almost knocking him off his feet.
This type of power could easily reduce a Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivator to ashes!
A faint smile appeared on Zhu Xuze’s face. “Sorry, little girl. Looks like I forgot to hold back after all.”
However, right at this moment, his scorching Holy Flames were torn apart by an inky-black sword blade.
“What?!” Zhu Xuze’s expression shifted again as he tried to evade through the use of movement techniques.
Little Xie’s entire body was enshrouded by a layer of black energy, which kept the Holy Flames completely at bay. As such, she was able to hurtle toward Zhu Xuze like a bolt of lightning without having to worry about her own safety.
She was way too fast! Zhu Xuze had no time to evade before the Evil-Slaying Sword fell mercilessly upon him!
Whoosh!
A black sword projection pierced through the air, parting the scorching expanse of Holy Flames.
Golden protective light erupted amid the sound of flesh being torn apart.
Little Xie exhaled as the Holy Flames were snuffed out, and Zhu Xuze fell to the ground.
“That’s the first one.”
