Chapter 2912 - 2916: Scorn from a Foreign Genius

"Perhaps Ling Xiao was severely injured during the battle with the Thunder Emperor! I knew it, with such an intense fight, how could he come out unscathed."

"I didn’t expect it, this newly established Eight Immortals Kingdom is going to be destroyed by one person."

"Brother Yi, are you alright?"

Xiao Mu Yu hurriedly rushed to Chen Buyi’s side to check his injuries.

At this moment, Chen Buyi could no longer stand up.

His life wasn’t in danger, but he was seriously injured.

"You’re quite sturdy for trash, taking a hit from my Fire Meteor and still staying alive."

Huo Yu looked at Chen Buyi mockingly and said.

"Damn it!"

Xiao Mu Yu couldn’t stand her man being insulted like this, and she drew her sword ready to charge.

"Don’t go!"

Chen Buyi stopped Xiao Mu Yu, "You’re not his match, if Ling Xiao doesn’t come in ten minutes, I will fight to the death. In any case, I will not let him break into the Royal Palace!"

After clashing with Huo Yu, Chen Buyi understood how terrifyingly strong he was, it was crystal clear to him, unless he wanted mutual destruction, he couldn’t stop the opponent.

Xiao Mu Yu stood even less of a chance.

"Three minutes!"

Huo Yu indeed didn’t make another move, merely waited coldly, calculating the time.

The situation was extremely tense.

Although many Martial Artists guarded the Royal Palace, numbers meant little against a stronger Martial Artist.

Even if the tens of thousands of troops within were to die in battle, they’d probably not hurt Huo Yu in the slightest.

Of course, if there were tens of millions, that would be another matter.

Numbers in such quantities are still quite terrifying.

Time passed second by second, and the mocking expression on Huo Yu’s face grew more pronounced.

The faces of the Royal Palace’s guards, however, were set with determination.

Even if outmatched, they would fight!

They were soldiers Ling Xiao brought from the Eight Immortals County City!

The army of the Heavenly Dynasty Empire!

No doubt about their loyalty; even if not strong enough, they would never retreat!

"Nine minutes have passed. It seems that useless Ling Xiao won’t show up. It’s truly pathetic that so many of you are risking your lives for that waste; it’s really sad."

Huo Yu’s aura began to climb.

The tension in the atmosphere grew even thicker.

Everyone understood that this man was not joking; once ten minutes elapsed, he would undoubtedly start a massacre, turning the Royal Palace into a river of blood.

"Whom are you calling a waste?"

Suddenly, a cold voice arose from behind the guards.

The people made way, looking toward the voice’s owner.

Ling Xiao and Yue Fanghua had just finished their conversation, realizing the chaos outside as they emerged.

And of course, he happened to catch someone he didn’t recognize referring to him as waste.

Nowadays, in the Chen Dynasty, hardly anyone would dare say that, which meant this person must be a foreigner.

Chen Buyi, Xiao Mu Yu, Mu Qing, and the Royal Palace guards all showed excited smiles.

They knew their key figure had emerged.

Before the Eight Immortals Kingdom stabilized completely, Ling Xiao’s presence was irreplaceable.

They believed that Ling Xiao’s arrival would resolve all issues.

For these people, Ling Xiao had almost become a myth, a symbol.

Of great significance indeed.

This guy Ling Xiao, after leaving Yuhua Town, how many experts and enemies has he slain along the way?

By now, he easily defeated the Thunder Emperor and seized the Chen Dynasty’s throne.

These people witnessed it all firsthand.

He’s absolutely a monster!

Other than death, nothing can halt his stride forward.

As long as he lives, one day, he will reach the pinnacle of the Xuanwu Continent!

Even the high and mighty Eternal Palace must bow before him.

"Oh, so he was just flirting with his lover, not actually afraid, huh? This Huo Yu really picked the wrong time to come."

"Didn’t you just say Ling Xiao was scared?"

"Heh, can’t I be wrong? I thought Ling Xiao was injured in the previous arena battle, who would have thought he was still so vigorous that he could do that kind of thing."

"Yeah, apparently he doesn’t consider that nonsense Huo Yu worth his attention."

"You guys are all underestimating him, aren’t you? That Huo Yu isn’t someone so easy to deal with."

Some relaxed, while others didn’t dare let their guard down.

After all, Huo Yu sent Chen Buyi flying with one move, such strength is not just talk.

He’s terrifyingly formidable.

"Master, take the Injury Healing Pill first. Since he’s here for me, I’ll handle it.

Actually, I’ve long expected this day to come.

Volcano Kingdom has always been coveting the Chen Dynasty, how could they hand over the dynasty’s throne so easily?"

Ling Xiao put an Injury Healing Pill into Chen Buyi’s mouth and then said.

"Be careful, this Huo Yu is formidable; he’s one of the three prodigies of the Volcano Kingdom, stronger than Chen Cangxiong.

This guy struck me heavily with one move and said if you didn’t come out within ten minutes, he would invade the Royal Palace and bathe Thunder City in blood!"

After taking the Injury Healing Pill, Chen Buyi felt much better and finally had the strength to speak.

"What arrogance!"

Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes at Huo Yu: "You are indeed stronger than Chen Cangxiong, but so what? Isn’t it good to stay in Volcano Kingdom, coming here is a death wish!"

"Seeking death? Hahaha, this is the biggest joke I’ve ever heard since I was born."

Huo Yu threw his head back and laughed heartily.

He didn’t sense any fearsome element on Ling Xiao.

So he grew more arrogant.

"How pitiful you are, living in tragedy even until death."

Ling Xiao walked slowly toward Huo Yu: "You just called me a waste; now I’ll see if you can take a punch from this so-called waste!"

With that, Ling Xiao moved like a ghost, instantly arriving in front of Huo Yu.

Then launched a punch.

"You’re courting death!"

Seeing Ling Xiao dared to punch him, Huo Yu couldn’t help but sneer.

He, Huo Yu, was most skilled in fist techniques.

And this Ling Xiao, having cultivation similar to his, dared to confront him with fists.

He circulated his inner strength and his fist immediately enveloped in flames, identical to the punch used to send Chen Buyi flying.

As Ling Xiao’s fist approached.

He grew angrier.

Because he discovered that Ling Xiao’s fist didn’t contain any inner strength.

In other words, this guy punched purely with the strength of his Physical Body.

"Bastard, you’re underestimating me! I’ll blast you into pieces!"

Huo Yu was extremely angry.

No one had ever dared to look down on him like this.

"Dealing with you doesn’t even require inner strength!"

As Ling Xiao’s voice rang, their fists collided instantly, producing a massive booming sound.

Sparks flew everywhere.

The scene of Ling Xiao being torn apart, which Huo Yu imagined, did not happen.

Instead, at the moment of collision, an incredibly terrifying force surged through his arm.
