Chapter 588 - One Strike to Kill
"Ugh!"
A few men clenched their legs tight together as their eyes almost popped out of their sockets. The cruelty and arrogance they had originally shown was completely nowhere to be seen.
"I've killed more people than the number of rice grains you've eaten. You think you can mess with me?"
Their fighting spirit couldn't compare at all to Tianming’s, after the countless battles he'd experienced in the Theocracy and the Grand-Orient Realm. His will had been honed through deathly battles time and again, something the disciples of Archaion Sect had no luxury of experiencing. Not to mention, he was killing fervently crazy fighters of the Nineshades Clan, to say nothing of the weak disciples of the Human Branch he was beating up now.
The Nine Yang Sword was exceedingly sharp. Each time it swept past, lifebound beast and beastmaster alike would kneel and shiver with fear.
"Buzz off!" Tianming looked around and saw that Xuanyuan Xixi's men had all collapsed and were groaning nonstop. Now, she was the only one remaining. The girl in the leopard coat watched him blankly. "What level are you at?"
"The second level of the Empyrean Saint Stage!" she snapped. Though she was surprised, she wasn’t frozen with shock.
"The same level as Autarch Qian, huh.... You're a little too dumb compared to him, though. I guess the heavens are fair after all," Tianming said.
"Are you insulting me? An errand boy like you? You think you're a hotshot just because you defeated them?"
"Do I still resemble an errand boy?"
"Lin Feng, are you faking it or do you really not know who I am? Do you know what the consequences of offending me are? I've killed tens of disciples just like you! Nobody dares to even ask about what happened to them! I’m going to teach you a lesson. Do you dare to resist?" she proudly said. It seemed that she was really confident about her family background. In fact, most people took it for granted that members of the Archaic House of Xuanyuan could do as they pleased without consequence, not to mention her elder brother was a deacon of the Dragonmight Faction.
"You've killed tens of them?" Tianming chuckled and pointed his sword at her. "It's not a matter of whether I dare touch you. I’ll rough you up today. You're only so rambunctious because nobody’s taught you a lesson, right? Usually, I don't mess with people that don't cause trouble for me, but you obviously tried to mess with me. So, I’ll give you a lesson. Tuition is free."
"Insolence!" Xuanyuan Xixi got the rest around her to buzz off, then charged into the fray with her lifebound beast, a Pentamount Purgatory Dragon. It was a legendary dragon with ninety-seven stars, ten more than Ying Huo. It seemed that empyrean manna was rather common in Archaion. In fact, there was enough for many lifebound beasts to have hundreds of stars.
The Archaic House of Xuanyuan was the most famous clan on the Flameyellow Continent with a dragon lifebound beast. Around two hundred thousand years ago in the ancient past, dragons were the absolute rulers of the Flameyellow Continent. However, the Nine Divine Realms eventually formed a new world order.
The first god beastmaster had a dragon lifebound beast, and the House of Xuanyuan had descended from this mythical figure. That was why those with the Xuanyuan surname formed a house that was granted the 'Archaic' appellation, for it was a name that had been passed down since antiquity. Apart from the first god, the other nine gods had also ascended during antiquity, the last one to do so being Xuanyuan Xi from a hundred thousand years ago. Ever since her time, no new gods had ascended.
