Chapter 851 851: Do You Think I Dare?
As soon as Yun Xiao began controlling the Sealing Array of Thunder King Valley, he was aware of such a change, which is why he was so confident and not flustered by Xia Yong's actions.
Since Yun Xiao joined the Spirit Fighting Commerce in Yuyang City, Xia Yong had always been his greatest enemy. Even though Yun Xiao had now broken through to the Peak of the Qi Seeking Realm, he still could not be a match for the special envoy from the headquarters of the Spirit Fighting Commerce in a one-on-one fight.
Moreover, since Xu Huang had brought along a Flying Beast Pulse Demon, Yun Xiao's greatest trump card was rendered ineffective. Now, with such a golden opportunity, how could he simply let the tiger return to the mountain?
Especially considering, as Xia Yong had just thought, Yun Xiao's control over this Sealing Array with the Thunder King Token was also time-limited, possibly a method set by the original master of Thunder King Valley to allow the destined person who acquired the Thunder King's Heart to have some means of protection.
However, the Thunder King Token's energy was limited, and it couldn't last long. Therefore, Yun Xiao had to completely eliminate Xia Yong within this effective time to extinguish the deadly danger.
These things Xia Yong and Xu Huang were unaware of, and the onlookers also did not know. The only thing they knew was that, at this moment, their fate under the complete shroud of the Thunder King Valley's seal was dependent solely on Yun Xiao's mood.
Even those spectator cultivators had no idea about their own fate, whether Yun Xiao would unleash the array's thunder upon them and turn them all to dust, despite them numbering hundreds or nearly a thousand.
After all, today Yun Xiao wanted to kill Xia Yong, and if the news of him slaughtering the special envoy from the headquarters of the Spirit Fighting Commerce spread, it would likely become impossible for this youth to have a place on the Tenglong Continent, as the Spirit Fighting Commerce is one of the four top powers.
Judging others by oneself, to ensure that his actions and whereabouts are not exposed, it wouldn't be impossible to kill all these hundreds of people, especially under such circumstances that are entirely within Yun Xiao's control.
"Yun Xiao, I admit you indeed have means, but if you can stop now, I agree to let bygones be bygones, and we can part ways here, each minding our own business. What do you think?"
After a short moment of shock, Xia Yong, after all, was a seasoned special envoy from the headquarters, so after a quick turn of his eyes, he unexpectedly spoke these words, surprising the crowd.
However, sensing the thunder array covering the sky, everyone understood. The situation dictates terms, and in such a lopsided situation, lowering one's head to Yun Xiao wasn't a big deal.
Some of those with more profound intentions were still thinking that this might just be a delaying tactic by Xia Yong. Once this peak of the Seeking Origin Realm expert regained his strength, he might come back full force, which isn't the style of the Spirit Fighting Commerce to swallow such a loss.
"Hahaha, Special Envoy Xia Yong, you speak so lightly. The enmity between us started merely due to your coveting my Meridian Spirit, yet you speak as if both sides are at fault. Your face is really thick!"
Yun Xiao first raised his head and laughed three times, then what he said finally made the crowd understand the reason for his vendetta with Xia Yong. Hence, some well-meaning individuals cast looks of disdain at Xia Yong.
Due to commercial reasons, the Spirit Fighting Commerce had always shown a harmonious facade in public, while their despicable methods were rarely discovered or displayed so blatantly as this.
"These guys, not a single one must be left!"
Sensing the gazes of the people around, Xia Yong harbored malicious intentions. Since these guys knew his secret, they had no chance of survival, but at this moment, he seemed to have forgotten his own predicament.
"Yun Xiao, stop spouting nonsense here. I am a special envoy from the headquarters of the Spirit Fighting Commerce, do you really dare to kill me?"
Knowing there was no longer room for reconciliation after Yun Xiao said those words, Xia Yong, like Xu Huang earlier, could only bring up the background of the Spirit Fighting Commerce. Being a special envoy from the headquarters, he was much more confident than Xu Huang, the branch president.
After all, Xu Huang was merely a branch president from Yuyang City, whereas Xia Yong represented the headquarters of the Spirit Fighting Commerce. If he were killed, the impact would be far more severe than the entire Yuyang City Spirit Fighting Branch being wiped out.
Moreover, as Xia Yong rambled on, he had a deeper purpose, which was to stall for time. If that kid really engaged in an argument with him, once the array's energy was exhausted, the situation could be reversed.
"Is Special Envoy Xia Yong trying to stall for time?"
To his surprise, just as this thought crossed Xia Yong's mind, Yun Xiao's voice echoed, causing Xia Yong's face to darken, realizing he might have miscalculated some things.
"Actually, your guess is correct, this Sealing Array in Thunder King Valley indeed has a time limit, but... before that time is up, it's more than enough to kill you!"
With a faint smile on his face, Yun Xiao's words made Xia Yong's previous thoughts appear utterly ridiculous, as he believed that his confident remarks indicated a complete lack of fear.
"Hmph, I don't believe you really dare to kill me?"
At this moment, Xia Yong's arrogance, belonging to the headquarters envoy of the Spirit Fighting Commerce, suddenly rose. As he spoke, it seemed that an invisible aura surrounded him, an aura belonging to the Spirit Fighting Commerce.
Among the four top forces on the Tenglong Continent, although the Spirit Fighting Commerce ranks last, it is by no means something that the cultivators from the small families and small sects of the Southern Continent can imagine.
As the headquarters envoy of the commerce, if Xia Yong were to be killed, everyone present would undoubtedly face endless trouble. The dignity of a top force like the Spirit Fighting Commerce cannot be challenged, even if they were at fault first.
"Do you think I dare?"
However, just as everyone thought Yun Xiao would at least ponder for a moment, they heard him utter such a light sentence, then saw him raise his right hand once more.
Seeing Yun Xiao's sudden movement, everyone was on edge, especially Xia Yong, who thought Yun Xiao intended to attack him, immediately becoming fully alert.
But this time, Yun Xiao's arm wasn't pointed at Xia Yong's direction, but elsewhere. There, a dejected individual was present, precisely Xu Huang, the branch president of Yuyang City's Spirit Fighting Branch.
Perhaps in Xu Huang's mind, he never imagined that he would face such deadly peril when the headquarters envoy Xia Yong appeared. Unfortunately, after being seriously injured, he had no means to resist the thunder controlled by Yun Xiao.
BOOM!
A bolt of thunder, as thick as an adult's arm, followed Yun Xiao's pointing finger and descended upon Xu Huang's head. The dazzling silver light illuminated the pale face of the Yuyang City branch president, appearing extremely panicked.
"Envoy, save me..."
Realizing his life was at stake in an instant, Xu Huang, sensing the terrifying aura within the descending thunder, knew this was a much stronger attack than the previous Four Symbols Locking Thunder Array. He called out in panic for help.
But Xu Huang only managed to utter five words before the thunder engulfed him. After that, it was as if he never existed in this world at all, disappearing in an instant.
Xu Huang was merely a cultivator at the middle stage of the Origin Seeking Realm, and suffering severe injuries had reduced his strength to the peak of the Qi Seeking Realm. He had no ability to resist and was worse off than the Golden Cat Meridian Spirit. Thus, this outcome under the thunder's strike was as expected.
Xu Huang's instant annihilation made Xia Yong's face grow increasingly somber. His glaring eyes fixed on the black-clad youth, cursing, "Yun Xiao, you have chosen to fight to the death with my Spirit Fighting Commerce!"
"The envoy is jesting. If I were to stop now, would the Spirit Fighting Commerce truly let me go?"
As Xia Yong's words fell, Yun Xiao retorted with a cold smile. Hearing this, everyone deeply agreed. Given the enmity between the two sides, there seemed to be little room for reconciliation between this young man and the Spirit Fighting Commerce.
Even if Xia Yong were still alive, the Spirit Fighting Commerce members in Yuyang City had been nearly wiped out, including Xu Huang, all eliminated by Yun Xiao's powerful means.
Perhaps since the Spirit Fighting Commerce established itself on the Tenglong Continent, there had never been an instance where a city's branch was uprooted so completely. Even if someone had killed a member of the Spirit Fighting Commerce before, the outcome would have been extremely tragic.
It's fair to say that Yun Xiao's act of extinguishing Xu Huang with a single point had already cemented a deadly feud with the Spirit Fighting Commerce. Regardless of the final outcome, this young man's boldness was certainly admirable.
"I usually don't like being remembered, so... sorry!"
Yun Xiao once again spoke coldly, and this time he said no more wasteful words, lifting both hands high before pressing them down fiercely.
At the same time, the sky above flashed with silver, with dozens of silver thunderbolts crashing down, targeting the Spirit Fighting Commerce headquarters envoy Xia Yong, whose face was filled with horror.
Seeing this scene, the onlookers couldn't help but retreat a few steps, though they couldn't escape the range of this sealing array. Their faces also displayed shock and terror.
Previously, whether Yun Xiao obliterated the Meridian Qi Giant Lion or the Golden Cat Meridian Spirit, or even Xu Huang, he only used one bolt of Thunder Power. Now, with dozens of thunderbolts crashing down, Xia Yong's fate was predictable.
Xia Yong clearly didn't expect Yun Xiao to "value" him so much. At this moment of life and death, he erupted with an extremely strong desire to survive, unwilling to be just wiped out amidst countless thunder energies.
He was a dignified headquarters envoy of the Spirit Fighting Commerce, ambitious to achieve great things. How could he willingly die so inexplicably outside a desolate mountain and valley?
