Chapter 385: Giant Rat
Thinking for a second, Shang Xia continued, “Elder Huang, for you to run all the way out here for a mere Martial Intent Realm cultivator, aren’t you afraid that the Tongyou Institution will manage to gain the upper hand?”
Shang Xia didn’t actually know the situation out there. He was merely trying to bait some information from Elder Huang.
The moment Elder Huang appeared, a bad premonition appeared in Shang Xia’s heart. It seemed as though the institution wasn’t doing too well if the opponents could afford to send another Martial Extermination Realm expert to look for Shang Xia.
Chuckling softly, Huang Yunxiang could obviously tell Shang Xia’s intentions. After all, an old fox like him was too familiar with the ways of the world. Shang Xia was truly too inexperienced when compared to him. He continued nonchalantly, “Since I showed my face here, why don’t you take a guess?”
Shang Xia grinned after hearing what Huang Yunxiang said. “Since Elder Huang put it so ambiguously, you guys probably failed to gain the upper hand. Haha. I am much more relieved now. Looks like the Tongyou Institution isn’t doing too badly.”
.
The smile on Huang Yunxiang’s face faded as the killing intent in his eyes grew stronger. He didn’t expect himself to be outsmarted by a little brat like Shang Xia.
Shang Xia added again, “Elder Huang, you’re a Martial Extermination Realm expert. Your divine sense should be able to cover a much larger range than me. Did you discover the Lightning Fire Jujube Tree?”
“What’s the matter? Are you trying to waste my time now? Or do you think you can deal with me after harvesting the fruits on the tree?” Huang Yunxiang raised an eyebrow and mocked the kid.
“Haha. I don’t want you to die without even seeing the tree, that’s all… At least you can leave this world without regrets.” Shang Xia sniggered softly.
Huang Yunxiang’s expression turned cold the moment the words left Shang Xia’s lips. “Hmph, in that case, you’ll definitely be leaving the world with regrets today!”
As soon as he spoke, he waved his sleeves violently and a yellow cloud emerged. It expanded in the skies above Shang Xia before crashing down mercilessly.
Shang Xia didn’t expect an elder of the Changbai Holy Land to act so unscrupulously towards a Martial Intent Realm cultivator. Luckily, he had prepared himself for it. The moment Huang Yunxiang made his move, Shang Xia threw himself in the opposite direction and ran across the sea of pebbles.
He knew that he wouldn’t be able to outrun an attack from a Martial Extermination Realm cultivator. He could only try to take it on with the assistance of the terrain around him. When he was running, he didn’t forget to mock the elder. “Heh, as an elder of the Changbai Holy Land, you can’t even keep your composure when speaking to juniors. You won’t even give me a chance to fulfill my last wish. Are you really so afraid of me?”
“Go talk to Sima Zhanxing when you’re dead. Don’t waste my time.” Huang Yunxiang growled before pointing downwards. “Fall!”
The cloud that was slowly descending suddenly increased its speed and it resembled a huge yellow hurricane that was tearing down the land. It went straight for Shang Xia.
The yellow storm filled the skies and it seemed to want to swallow everything in its path!
Raising his spear, Shang Xia released Startling Moon without even turning back. Piercing a hole in the storm, he created a small safe space for himself.
“Hmm… To affect space when you’re in the Martial Intent Realm. You’re truly a genius worth sending out a Martial Extermination Realm expert for.” Huang Yunxiang complimented Shang Xia before his tone sank again. “It’s a pity your actions are futile. How long can you last under my Desert Mist Extermination?”
The moment he completed his sentence, he discovered that Shang Xia had already increased the distance between them by more than ten feet.
“Huh? How is he able to avoid my divine sense detection? Is this something Shang Bo left behind?” Huang Yunxiang muttered. He wanted to look at the situation under the yellow storm, but he suddenly realized that something was wrong. “Not good!”
He suddenly felt a strong disturbance coming from under the yellow cloud. Shang Xia tore his way through the land, and when Huang Yunxiang saw how his extermination origin wasn’t able to stop Shang Xia’s his expression turned incomparably serious.
Of course, he didn’t think that the situation had turned bad yet. He didn’t use his full strength earlier because he didn’t think he had to. Now that Shang Xia had jumped out of the range of the yellow cloud, he didn’t wait for Shang Xia to land before pointing at him.
A thin ray of light emerged from his fingertips and shot straight at Shang Xia.
The instant it came into contact with his divine sense, Shang Xia felt a bone-chilling sensation and he felt his divine sense freezing over.
Shang Xia understood that Huang Yunxiang had revealed his second extermination origin.
In mid air, Shang Xia circulated his inner qi again and the Scarlet Star Spear trembled in his hands. He unleashed his ninth move, Piercing Sun, without hesitation.
A huge spear appeared in mid air and smashed at the ray of light that came from Huang Yunxiang.
That was the only move he had with power close to his Divine Killing Spear and Shang Xia knew that he had to use it in order to deal with the threat at hand.
Clashing with the ray of light in mid air, Shang Xia achieved something that wasn’t supposed to happen. He stopped an attack from a Martial Extermination Realm cultivator with his rank three spear art!
The giant spear couldn’t avoid its fate of being frozen over and it eventually dissipated in mid air. It didn’t stop there. Shang Xia had to block the remainder of the attack with his Scarlet Star Spear. His weapon froze over instantly.
Everything happened so quickly that Shang Xia was unable to land on the ground even after his spear froze.
He might have lost his weapon, but Shang Xia didn’t seem flustered in the slightest. Instead, he stared at Huang Yunxiang while laughing. “Is there a reason you’re holding back even after so many failed attempts to kill me? Are you preparing for something to happen?”
Huang Yunxiang’s expression turned extremely ugly and he simply grunted at Shang Xia to indicate his annoyance at the kid. The chill in his gaze grew stronger.
In contrast, a pained look appeared in Shang Xia’s eye when he saw his frozen-over weapon that had already fallen to the ground. He knew that with the damage it suffered, it was definitely going to be badly damaged after the battle.
He quickly regained his composure and an annoying smile appeared on his face again. “Elder Huang, you’re a Martial Extermination Realm cultivator at the end of the day. I’m not your opponent… It won’t take much for you to kill me either. Why don’t you come closer since you seem to be wasting a lot of energy trying to kill me from so far away.”
Fury flashed through Huang Yunxiang’s eyes but he remained where he was. He sneered coldly, “Brat, you’re asking to die!”
Shang Xia ignored him completely and he chuckled coldly, “We shouldn’t be far from the tree, right? Are you afraid of damaging the fruits if you act recklessly now?”
Seeing the sneer on Huang Yunxiang’s face, Shang Xia seemed to have thought of another possibility. “... Or… Are you afraid that there’s a spiritual beast guarding the treasure?”
Shang Xia barely completed his sentence when he discovered a huge disturbance coming from underground. Violently rumbling filled the lands and a massive crack appeared under him. It was like a giant mouth that wanted to swallow him whole.
With his expression changing, Shang Xia didn\'t dare to leap into the air to flee from the crack. Instead, he unleashed his Irregular Steps to its limit. Running to the side, he quickly hid his aura.
If not for the fact that Huang Yunxiang had his eyes on Shang Xia, he would have expected Shang Xia to be swallowed up by the crack. He wouldn’t believe that a Martial Intent Realm cultivator could hide his presence so perfectly.
However, that wasn’t time for him to worry about Shang Xia’s abilities.
That was because after Shang Xia retracted his aura, the existence that was underground locked onto him!
“Squeak, squeak!” With two loud squeaks, the crack on the ground widened and a massive mouth appeared. Two large teeth that resembled large blades chomped at Elder Huang Yunxiang.
