Chapter 4774
“So, the people from the Ten Palaces really did engage in battle!” Huo Qing remarked.
“Young Master, have you ever fought against this so-called master?” Steward Lu asked.
Huo Qing shook his head.
“Brother, have you ever seen this master in action?” Huo Ming followed up.
Once again, Huo Qing shook his head.
“Brother, when did you become so timid? No matter how powerful this so-called master is, I’ll face him today!”
Huo Ming waved his spear, causing the entire void to tremble.
“Brother, this—”
Huo Qing wanted to stop him, but before he could say anything, Huo Ming had already led his men straight into the Xiao Dynasty’s territory.
Huo Qing hesitated, wanting to follow, but fear still held him back.
“Second Master, please wait. I will go see the Eldest Master first.”
With that, Steward Lu also rushed into the Xiao Dynasty’s territory.
The Tenth Palace Master stood watching, attempting several times to step forward but hesitating at the last moment. Huo Qing’s earlier words made him uneasy.
As the saying goes, ignorance breeds fearlessness. Huo Ming and Steward Lu simply refused to believe that such an extraordinary cultivator could exist in the Heavenly Realm.
Inside the Xiao Dynasty
Kai led Lin Kefan and the others into the imperial city.
Seeing them arrive, their bodies covered in wounds, Xiao Yuanshan was visibly shaken.
For someone to injure Kai and these ninth-rank Mahayana cultivators so badly, their opponent must have been terrifyingly strong!
Fortunately, the Xiao Dynasty was protected by Mr. Shi’s divine fortune. Even the most powerful cultivators wouldn’t dare act recklessly here.
“Everyone, recover your strength as quickly as possible. I doubt the Ten Palaces would dare step into the Xiao Dynasty.”
Kai instructed his companions to begin their recovery.
Their desperate escape had drained them considerably!
“Emperor Xiao, intruders!”
Just as Kai finished speaking, a loud shout echoed through the hall.
Kai and the others immediately stepped outside. Looking up, they saw that the forces of the Ten Palaces had indeed arrived!
More than a dozen powerful cultivators descended, their oppressive auras making it difficult for anyone in the Xiao Dynasty to even lift their heads.
Huo Ming pointed his spear forward, causing the void itself to distort. A formless pressure spread across the land, suffocating everyone beneath it!
“Why are there so many powerful cultivators in the Ten Palaces?” Lin Kefan muttered, frowning.
So many people from the Ten Palaces had been killed, yet their forces still seemed formidable. From this, it was clear that the strength of the Ten Palaces was at least on par with Sun and Moon City!
“These people aren’t from the Ten Palaces…”
At that moment, Yun Li appeared behind them without anyone noticing.
“They’re not from the Ten Palaces?” Kai asked, visibly surprised.
“They’re all members of the Huo family, likely summoned by Huo Qing. The Ten Palaces themselves aren’t this powerful!”
As the son of the Ten Palaces’ master, Yun Li knew their true strength better than anyone.
“It seems the Huo family is far from ordinary,” Xuan Bin remarked.
Kai calmly observed Huo Ming and his men.
Now that they had reached the Xiao Dynasty, he had nothing to fear. Even if an immortal appeared, Mr. Shi could probably crush them with a single slap!
“I heard there’s a master here. Where is he?”
Huo Ming turned his gaze to Kai and asked.
“You’re not worthy of Mr. Shi’s attention. If I weren’t already exhausted from battle, I could take on two of you myself!”
Kai scoffed coldly.
Huo Ming was momentarily stunned before bursting into laughter. “Such arrogance! You’re just a second-grade Mahayana cultivator, yet you dare to talk so big. I doubt you have any real skill beyond boasting.”
“You’ll find out soon enough. Come at me!” Kai taunted, waving him forward.
“You think I won’t?”
Huo Ming stepped forward, raising his spear and pointing it directly at Kai.
With that single motion, a terrifying force capable of shattering the heavens shot toward Kai!
Huo Ming had made his move!
Yet, Kai remained utterly unfazed. He didn’t even try to dodge.
“Die.”
Kai uttered the word softly.
In an instant, a radiant white light descended from the sky, piercing straight through Huo Ming’s body!
The sight left Steward Lu and the others completely stunned.
Huo Ming’s eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the gaping wound in his chest.
