Chapter 523: About to Breakthrough? [Fifth Update, For Heaven Knows More]
Looking at Li Xiaoyao, whose face showed not the slightest ripple of emotion, Lin Xiao sneered, "Let's see how long you can keep up this act."
In Xuan Country, two major Sects joined forces against Li Xiaoyao—a disparity in power that almost certainly doomed Li Xiaoyao to no chance of survival.
The nine disciples of Xuan Sect had long since lost heart; even if they had immense confidence in Li Xiaoyao, in such a situation, not even a superhero could turn the tide.
The nine disciples all wore different expressions. Ye Yisheng walked up to Li Xiaoyao's side, her pretty face filled with determination, and said, "Uncle Master Li, I will help you!"
A few disciples harbored thoughts of self-preservation, muttering softly, "In this situation, it's more important to save our own skins. Plus, Hehuan Sect has promised not to involve us—why suffer for nothing, Senior Sister Ye?"
Li Xiaoyao gave her a gratifying glance, smiled faintly, and casually surveyed the other disciples. Each disciple who made eye contact quickly lowered their head, seemingly afraid of being associated with him.
It's human nature to seek good fortune and avoid disaster; Li Xiaoyao didn't blame them.
"Li Xiaoyao, take a look—only a young girl stands by your side. Aren't you infuriated? Angry?" Lin Xiao, having noticed everyone's expression, couldn't help but laugh smugly.
Ignoring his mockery, Li Xiaoyao patted Ye Yisheng's head and said, "Go wait for me at the back; these few people can't hold your Uncle Master back."
Ye Yisheng opened her mouth to speak, but seeing the indifference in Li Xiaoyao's gaze, she suddenly froze. She had an illusion that even faced with the combined forces of Hehuan Sect and Luo Family from Dongshan, Li Xiaoyao wouldn't lose. It was a baseless hunch, but Ye Yisheng just had faith in Li Xiaoyao.
"Big talk!" Long Xiaotian, standing to the side, said with a voice resonant as a heavy bell that buzzed in everyone's ears.
"This is all the people you've got?" Li Xiaoyao remarked indifferently, "I'll give you another half an hour to call in everyone you can muster."
Hearing this, the crowd felt Li Xiaoyao had truly lost his mind.
Facing two major factions of Xuan Country, yet still thinking they were not worth his attention—just how arrogant could someone be?
"The Luo Family has arrived," shouted a disciple suddenly.
Lin Xiao turned his head and saw, indeed, a group of people coming their way, with none other than Luo Xuanyu, the foremost young generation of the Luo Family, leading them!
Nangong Xuan's frown deepened, and he was inwardly relieved that he hadn't just stepped forward on behalf of Li Xiaoyao. Otherwise, even he would face a mortal situation against these three major factions. He wondered what outrageous thing Li Xiaoyao had done to incite Lin Xiao to ally with two other major families against him.
"What's all the commotion?" Luo Xuanyu was slightly surprised, not expecting to find such a crowd gathered here.
"Brother Luo, you've arrived." Lin Xiao greeted him with a smile and a nod.
Luo Xuanyu chuckled and replied, "When Brother Lin asks for help, of course I must oblige. Where is this Li Xiaoyao you spoke of?"
Lin Xiao looked towards Li Xiaoyao and said, "That's the brat there."
"Oh? This one?" Luo Xuanyu sized Li Xiaoyao up and down, his face clearly scornful, "A fellow like this, I could handle on my own. Brother Lin, it seems you've made a mountain out of a molehill."
Lin Xiao felt somewhat annoyed inside, but it didn't show on his face.
Standing nearby, Long Xiaotian was becoming impatient as he said, "Let's quickly dispose of this brat, I have Demon Beasts to hunt, don't waste my time."
The Human Realm was only open for ten days, and every minute, every second was exceedingly precious to him. To waste so much time on an unknown youngster seemed hardly worth it. Had it not been for Lin Xiao's promise of a reward with a Third Grade Pill Medicine afterward, he wouldn't have bothered.
Shaking his head as if disappointed, Li Xiaoyao said, "These are the only people you could bring? I thought you could do better."
"Trash?" Long Xiaotian and Luo Xuanyu's eyebrows raised, a hint of killing intent appeared on their handsome faces. "No wonder Lin Xiao was so eager to kill you. With such arrogance, even if I had no grievances with you, I'd still want to kill you for the pleasure of it!"
Long Xiaotian's finger gently swiped over the Storage Ring, and a Long Spear appeared in his hand, "This one will be killed by me!"
As his voice was about to fall, Long Xiaotian had already transformed into a shadowy figure. With each step, he left a crater behind, and with the momentum of his spear, breaking through all defenses like bamboo, he thrust towards Li Xiaoyao's head with the force of the Dragon Tiger.
Li Pengcheng and Li Tiancai, hiding in the darkness, watched with glee as Long Xiaotian made his move with lethal intent.
Especially with Long Xiaotian's spear, so fast and powerful that even if it were him, he wouldn't dare to take it head-on.
"Brother Long still has the same hot temper as always," Lin Xiao said with a slight smile. In his view, there was no way Li Xiaoyao could dodge this spear.
A glint flashed in Luo Xuanyu's eyes, "Brother Long's spear technique seems even more refined than the last time I saw him."
No sooner had the two finished speaking than they saw Li Xiaoyao sidestep to the right, Long Xiaotian's spear tip piercing nearly through space, appearing to the left of his head.
Everyone was shocked, hardly able to believe it.
Li Xiaoyao's step seemed simple, but Lin Xiao and the others knew that even if it were them, performing such a maneuver would not be easy.
After all, under the impact of Long Xiaotian's spear force, an ordinary person would have already been frightened out of their wits, completely immobilized.
Li Xiaoyao's eyebrows were tightly knit together, he had intended to slap Long Xiaotian to death with one blow. But just now, he suddenly felt that the Spiritual Energy inside his body became tumultuous and started to surge chaotically.
"The prelude to a breakthrough?"
Li Xiaoyao was both delighted and speechless. What a time to have a breakthrough, right in the middle of a battle.
With no other choice, Li Xiaoyao could only circulate his cultivation technique to suppress the rampaging Spiritual Energy inside his body.
Seeing that Li Xiaoyao had actually dodged his attack, Long Xiaotian couldn't help but be surprised, but upon seeing Li Xiaoyao's expression, he guessed that the kid must have dodged by fluke.
Otherwise, how could a mere disciple of the Xuan Sect have the power to fight against him?
Just as he was preparing to continue his assault, a man's voice suddenly sounded.
"Monk Long, please show mercy."
Upon hearing this voice, everyone turned their attention to the source.
A group of a dozen or so monks, had unknowingly arrived at the scene.
"Yi Jie?" Long Xiaotian withdrew his spear and stood firm, his brow furrowing slightly upon seeing the newcomers.
Li Pengcheng, who was hiding in the shadows, felt his heart skip a beat at the sight of the people from Da Lin Temple.
Gui Hai of Da Lin Temple, who had brought Monk Yi Kong to the Li Family before, had shown intentions of cooperation within the Human Realm. With Yi Jie appearing as the leader of Da Lin Temple at this time, could it be that he was here to side with Li Xiaoyao?
Lin Xiao and Luo Xuanyu were also puzzled. Why had Da Lin Temple suddenly appeared, and why were they stopping Long Xiaotian from dealing with Li Xiaoyao? What was their intention?
