Chapter 2845 - 2849: The 6th General Burned to Death

"He’ll come back alive!"

Chen Buyi’s trust in Ling Xiao had become unbreakable ever since that night when Ling Xiao wreaked havoc in Yunzhong Feng Mansion.

He simply did not believe anyone could kill Ling Xiao.

Unless it was some terrifying existence that could make Ling Xiao unable even to escape.

But in the Chen Dynasty, there was no such person.

So naturally, he wasn’t worried.

Overlord Blade Gui Li frowned, clearly not having expected Chen Buyi’s reaction.

The only reason he had said so much was purely because he feared Chen Buyi’s strength and wanted to use Ling Xiao to disturb Chen Buyi’s mind.

Of course, another purpose was to take advantage of this occasion to tell everyone that whoever dared disobey the Royal Family of the Chen Dynasty would have to die.

This time, all seven generals of the Thunder Corps had gone out, and the two princes who were cultivating outside had returned to lead the troops.

These nine people were all experts at the First Turn Yinyang Realm Twelfth Layer Hell.

Adding Overlord Blade Gui Li made it ten.

Such a terrifying lineup was nothing but a way to shatter the Demon Dragon Sect crowd’s will to resist.

"Gui Li, stop wasting words. Since this old thing doesn’t know what’s good for him, just kill him!"

Behind him, an expert of the Chen Royal Family spoke coldly.

He was now the Sixth General of the Thunder Corps, his cultivation having already broken through to the First Turn Yinyang Realm Twelfth Layer Hell’s Peak.

He knew Chen Buyi was of the same cultivation level.

Precisely because of that, he had absolute confidence he could annihilate Chen Buyi.

He didn’t want Gui Li to keep wasting time.

Gui Li cursed "idiot" in his heart.

No one knew Chen Buyi’s strength better than he did; underestimating Chen Buyi would absolutely lead to a miserable end.

These hidden world experts were strong, but their vision was far too narrow.

Chen Buyi looked coldly at the Sixth General, a mocking smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. "If you want to make a move, then go ahead. I guarantee you won’t live to see tomorrow’s sun!"

Contempt!

That’s right, what showed in Chen Buyi’s expression was merciless contempt.

"You’re courting death!"

The Sixth General’s face turned incredibly ugly. This Chen Buyi was already at death’s door, yet he still dared to show him such contempt.

It was something he could not accept.

Boom!

Killing intent soared and exploded across the entire field.

The Sixth General stepped out from the crowd, shoving Overlord Blade Gui Li aside with one hand.

He wanted to kill Chen Buyi and end this pointless standoff.

"To kill you, I don’t even need to act. Xiao Jin, you go."

Among the three experts, Chen Buyi was the strongest, so he had to keep his eyes on the First General, Second General, and those two princes at all times.

As for the others, leaving them to Xiao Jin and Xiao Mu Yu would be more than enough.

"Alright!"

Xiao Jin flapped his wings and flew to stand in front of Chen Buyi.

"Damn, are you looking down on me? You’re actually sending a Monster Beast to fight me?"

The Sixth General was extremely displeased.

"Looking down on you? If you can withstand one strike from him, then come fight me."

Chen Buyi sneered with disdain.

"Fine, in that case I’ll kill him first, then kill you!"

The Sixth General looked at Xiao Jin, casually hooked his finger, and said, "Beast, come on, don’t waste my time!"

Xiao Jin understood that the Sixth General looked down on him.

But that was perfect.

He did not transform into his Golden Crow true form, instead keeping his palm-sized little bird body as he flew toward the Sixth General.

Only when the opponent was completely underestimating him would he truly have a chance to kill the man with a single strike.

He flew very slowly, as if he had no strength at all.

Yet the power within him was rapidly condensing, prepared to erupt in an instant at the critical moment.

"If you’re scared then scram. With your turtle-like speed, you still want to touch this General? What a joke!"

The Sixth General was very irritated; he wanted to finish off Xiao Jin quickly, so he took the initiative to strike.

But he looked down on Xiao Jin too much and merely sent out a casual palm.

In his eyes, this palm was enough to easily slap Xiao Jin to death.

He could feel the power releasing from Xiao Jin’s body surface.

He burst out laughing, "Beast, with that bit of strength, don’t say killing this General— even an ordinary Martial Artist with Eleventh Layer of Hell cultivation, you wouldn’t be able to do anything to him."

Yet in the next instant, his laughter cut off abruptly.

The Sixth General suddenly felt a terrifying heat so scorching it could completely melt his Soul.

Heat!

Scorching heat!

So hot that his Divine Sense became unclear.

In that instant, he knew he’d underestimated his enemy.

He hurriedly circulated his inner strength, attempting to counterattack.

But the time was far too short—how could he respond to Xiao Jin’s long-gathered, explosive strike?

The Powerful Energy he had just managed to circulate was actually dissolved in an instant by that terrifying heat.

"Save me!"

He shouted in terror, turning to flee while at the same time yelling to his own people.

This guy looked fierce on the outside, but his courage was truly smaller than a needle’s eye.

"You think you can escape?"

Xiao Jin spat out human words, his body suddenly swelling enormous.

The entire space was wrapped in a sea of golden light.

The heat increased geometrically; in just an instant, the stone slabs on the ground were burned into ash.

"Kill!"

Xiao Jin roared, and the golden light wrapped around the Sixth General like a molten iron ball.

The Sixth General could clearly feel his body melting, like a candle.

"Stop!"

Standing right beside him, Overlord Blade Gui Li naturally couldn’t just watch the Sixth General be burned alive.

Losing a Sixth General wasn’t the issue; the problem was that once the Sixth General died, the Chen Dynasty Army’s morale would plummet, while the already fearful Demon Dragon Sect remnants would have their morale soar.

At that point, things would get troublesome.

With a furious roar, he drew his War Saber and hacked toward Xiao Jin.

Wild, ferocious Sword Energy seemed as if it would slice Xiao Jin clean in half.

"This isn’t a place where you can run wild!"

A crisp female voice rang out as Xiao Mu Yu suddenly made her move, thrusting out a Longsword that looked as though it were condensed from ice crystals.

Chilling aura coiled toward Overlord Blade Gui Li’s body.

What!

Overlord Blade Gui Li had never imagined that Xiao Mu Yu, who had never revealed her strength, would be so powerful.

If his saber really hacked toward Xiao Jin, then he would die.

That kind of trade was far too disadvantageous.

Helpless, he could only use the saber meant for Xiao Jin to block Xiao Mu Yu’s attack.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion erupted within the space.

Overlord Blade Gui Li’s body was blasted back dozens of steps, while Xiao Mu Yu merely retreated three or four steps.

Between acting first and being forced to defend, the difference was indeed quite large.

"Ah—!"

A shrill scream came from within the blazing golden light—that was the last sound the Sixth General left in this world.

His entire body was actually melted completely by that scorching golden light, turning into blood-red steam.

The Sixth General—dead!

Killed by the Monster Beast he had looked down on, and with just a single move.

Xiao Jin displayed the ferocious combat power that belonged to him, and at the same time intimidated all the enemies.

Ling Xiao had once told him: unless absolutely necessary, do not reveal your true strength.

And now was the moment of absolute necessity; he had to unleash himself completely, otherwise he would die.
