CHAPTER 722: CHAPTER 722: IT’S ALL THE FAULT OF THAT TRASH, THE SEVENTH SAINT SON

In the square, the silence was instant.

Everyone’s eyes were wide with shock and confusion.

What in the world was up with Lu Xiao?

How was it that Lu Xiao was unharmed by the Seventh Saint Son’s full-force attack, and more importantly, what ability was he using to gather the flames?

No one had ever seen such a bizarre superpower.

He was able to consolidate such immense energy in the blink of an eye.

Keep in mind, this was a genuine Master Level energy intensity.

"Damn it!" the Seventh Saint Son said as he saw Lu Xiao safe and sound, instinctively turning to run away.

But unfortunately, just as he turned, he found himself immobilized.

"No rush to leave, my friend. We did sign a life-and-death covenant, so it’s either you die or I live,"

"Come on, let’s continue,"

With that, Lu Xiao extended his other hand, lightly hooking his index finger.

Thirty meters away, the Seventh Saint Son was forcefully repelled with a "song" noise.

By the time everyone could see clearly again, the Seventh Saint Son appeared right in front of Lu Xiao, and at the same time, his neck was tightly clamped by Lu Xiao’s hand.

"Dominator Level Ability, Object Control!"

"But that’s not right, even if a superpower is slightly rarer, it shouldn’t be able to control someone at Master Level."

"Unless... "

As the Seventh Saint Son was manipulated like a puppet by Lu Xiao, the Holy Spirit Guard finally understood.

Lu Xiao was also at Master Level.

And a stronger Master Level than the Seventh Saint Son, at that.

"You... you..."

"Lu Xiao, please let me go, I..." the Seventh Saint Son started to beg for mercy from Lu Xiao’s grasp.

"Sorry, we’ve signed a life-and-death covenant," Lu Xiao said dismissively, thoroughly ignoring the Seventh Saint Son as he pressed the fire energy sphere he had condensed in his other hand mercilessly into the Seventh Saint Son’s mouth.

The Seventh Saint Son’s body visibly started to turn red.

His skin quickly cracked and caught fire.

Finally, a plume of black smoke exploded, and the Seventh Saint Son was completely obliterated.

"Such a weakling," Lu Xiao said shaking his head as he dusted off his hands.

Although the Seventh Saint Son had broken through to the Master Level, if it really came down to fighting, a few of the stronger Half-step mentors would probably be enough to handle him.

Over the square, there was once again dead silence.

No one had expected the matter to end and be resolved in such a way.

Nor had anyone imagined that a twenty-something-year-old could be at Master Level.

That was absolutely preposterous.

"So yeah, I came here to take care of the official procedures,"

"Could one of you help me out?" Lu Xiao said, pulling out the Holy Spirit Guard token Ryan had given him.

Everyone’s facial muscles twitched.

Bro, you’re at Master Level, why don’t you just forget about joining the Holy Spirit Guard and say you want to take over all the Holy Spirit Guard instead, we have no objections.

They really didn’t think much of a Master Level like the Seventh Saint Son; after all, he was older and his superpower was less rare, with no real significance for reference.

But Lu Xiao was different; he was only in his twenties.

If Lu Xiao was willing to share his experience, their chances of achieving Master Level would definitely increase substantially.

"I’ll do it!" Ryan immediately ran up to Lu Xiao, taking the Holy Spirit Guard token from his hand.

"Good, thanks, Saint Ryan. I’ll be in your care from now on," Lu Xiao said, patting Ryan’s shoulder.

Saint Ryan?

Everyone paused for a moment before understanding Lu Xiao’s intention.

But no one had any objections; although Ryan was a bit stubborn, his talent and character were definitely solid.

With the Fifth Saint Son and the Seventh Saint Son disposed of by Lu Xiao, it made sense for Ryan to fill the spot.

"Take care of the rest, will you? Chen Fei and I have other matters, so we’ll be leaving first,"

"Sure thing," Ryan nodded promptly.

"Oh right, I saw that many people were planning to quit the Holy Spirit Pavilion, what a pity. I was hoping to have some time to share insights about superpowers with everyone," Lu Xiao suddenly added.

In the square, all the Holy Spirit Guard members began to breathe heavily.

"What a joke, the Holy Spirit Pavilion is my home, how could I possibly leave!"

"The Holy Spirit Pavilion is the Holy Land in my heart; I could never leave it."

"I must have been possessed just now; it’s definitely that rubbish Seventh Saint Son’s doing."

"Right, the Seventh Saint Son confounded our minds; it’s all his fault, he deserved to die,"

After a round of scapegoating, everyone pinned the blame on the Seventh Saint Son.

After all, the Seventh Saint Son was already gone with the wind; they could put any hat on his head, and he couldn’t complain, right?

Lu Xiao smirked; though these guys were first-class at talking, most of them had pretty solid principles.

They were willing to leave the Holy Spirit Pavilion in the face of a series of disgusting moves by the Seventh Saint Son.

"Let’s go," Lu Xiao said, looking at Chen Fei.

It should be just the right time to head to Lamp Street.

If we browse for three hours, it’ll be well into the night.

It’s troublesome to get back to the house at night, so we would have to stay at an inn...

Hopefully all the inns here have king-sized beds, and there’s only one room left.
