Chapter 753: Boosting Yuan Elixir
Xiao Luo sensed Song Tianba was about to strike him from behind. With a fierce look on his face, he swiftly turned around and thrust out his palm instinctively. He did not even have to think about it.
BAM!
The energy flowing from their palms met in mid-air, creating a thunderous blast. The intense palm powers swirled around crazily like angry waves. The air around them distorted, and the ground underneath them cracked. Then Song Tianba, who initiated the attack, was sent flying back like a cannonball. BOOM! He crashed into a brick house and caused it to collapse like a house of cards. Song Tianba lay buried under gravel, broken tiles, and bricks.
What?
After witnessing what had happened, Liang Xinghua and the Song family elders gulped as they stared at Xiao Luo with their eyes wide open in shock and fear. He was a fearsome monster in their eyes. The crowd watching from afar felt the same, and everyone broke out in a cold sweat, disbelieving what they had seen.
“It… It is impossible. Song Tianba is a strong Martial Lord at his peak. It cannot be that he went flying from merely one palm attack by that guy. Could the young man have achieved the Martial Emperor level?” Liang Xinghua’s deputy muttered. He stood there looking stupefied.
Martial Emperor?
A Martial Emperor in his twenties?
It was a tremendous surprise for Liang Xinghua. He achieved the peak of the Martial Lord level when he was almost fifty. He not only worked hard but took extraordinary elixirs refined by the Danhui Sect. But what about that youngster? How did he become so talented?
In his mind, Xiao Luo’s image transformed to be as large as a mountain. He felt indiscernible pressure from the presence of this young man.
At first, the elders of the Song family prepared to attack Xiao Luo. But after they saw Song Tianba being thrown back after he attacked Xiao Luo, they were suddenly at a loss. They did not know what to do next.
BOOM!
Bricks and tiles flew into the air, throwing clouds of dust above the debris. Song Tianba broke out from where he was trapped. Covered in dust, there was blood at the corner of his mouth, but the pain he felt from the loss of his son was still raging within him. His eyes were red, and he was emanating aggressive energy.
“Tianba!”
Some elders came up to him. As long as Song Tianba was alive, they still found their courage.
“Tianba, this guy is a freak!”
“He is holding back. We cannot figure out what level he belongs to.”
“Do not go against him alone. Let us do it together!”
They sized Xiao Luo up with fear in their eyes.
Song Tianba kept quiet. He stared at Xiao Luo like a hungry beast ready to pounce on its prey. His intention to kill Xiao Luo was so deep, it ate into his soul.
“I killed your son because he asked for it. I gave him many opportunities. Likewise, I will give you one opportunity to live. If you don’t want to die, go back to your home with your men. Otherwise, I wouldn’t mind killing a few more people!” said Xiao Luo in a harsh voice. He returned the glare that Song Tianba gave him. Life was valuable for him, but it could be just as cheap, depending on what kind of person one was facing.
The corner of Song Tianba’s mouth twitched. He looked hideous. “Little jerk, you killed my son. I don’t care to hear the reason for it, and I will kill you to avenge him!”
Xiao Luo looked at him calmly for a while. Then, with an indifferent expression, he said, “Bring it on, then. Let’s see who will end up being killed in the end.”
“We’ll all attack together. Kill him!”
The Song elders shouted. The five old Song elders attacked Xiao Luo first. Holding knives, swords, and spears, they dashed over swiftly like five gusts of wind.
“God damned jerk. Show them what you’ve got!” said the Duck Emperor.
Even if the duck had not spoken, Xiao Luo intended to kill these people. They were conceited and self-serving, and they raised Song Feiyu to be what he was. The lord and elders of the Songs would not be good people. Besides, he already killed so many people, so what difference would it make if he killed a few more?
“The first!” cried Xiao Luo.
His voice was so chilly and emotionless that it sounded like he came from hell. Moving with precision and speed, Xiao Luo came up against the first of the Song elders. He grasped the elder’s neck with the index finger and thumb of his right hand, like two sharp teeth of a beast. Instantly, blood spurted out from the puncture that appeared on his neck. The elder collapsed into a pool of his blood with his eyes wide open, and he did not die in peace.
“The second!”
The call of death came again. Another elder of the Song family thought he saw a shadow flying past him, though he saw Xiao Luo right in front of him only moments ago. But before he could react, he felt a hot sensation on his neck. Blood spurted out copiously and the world suddenly seemed to spin around him. Then he blacked out and fell on his back.
“The third!”
“The fourth!”
At each ominous count, one by one of the Song elders fell dead to the ground.
“The elders of the Song family are all at the initial stage of the Martial Lord level, yet they can’t even fight back. It’s unbelievable!”
Liang Xinghua’s deputy went pale in the face. He could hardly believe what he was seeing. These dignified Martial Lords got killed like poultry by the young man. The deputy could not get over that fact.
The watching crowd had shivers down their spine. Who on earth was that guy? And exactly how strong was he?
“The fifth!”
Xiao Luo shot up to the last surviving elder of the Songs. He tore the elder’s neck open in the same way and killed him instantly.
Like the others, Song Tianba was in shock. He cautiously glared at Xiao Luo, frightened but still seething with hatred.
“Impossible… Absolutely impossible. How is it possible that you are so strong? Who… Who the hell are you?”
Song Tianba snarled in anger. He could not believe a twenty-something-year-old youngster could be this strong. He killed all the Song elders in an instant. If he were to tell anyone about that, no one would believe him.
“Who I am doesn’t matter at all. All you need to know is that you are the sixth!” said Xiao Luo unemotionally.
Song Tianba was startled momentarily, but he burst into a burst of chilling laughter. “Yeah? I’m afraid I will disappoint you!”
After he spoke, he took out an elixir and swallowed it.
After consuming the elixir, his energy increased rapidly. The silk clothes he was wearing ripped apart as his body suddenly grew much more muscular, and intense energy radiated from his body and spread out to the surrounding. Not only could the members of the Liang family standing nearby feel the force, but the crowd who were watching from far away also sensed it. It felt as if a mountain was pressing against their chests.
“That is Boosting Yuan Elixir. It can boost one’s strength instantly. But it has powerful side effects–it will tax one’s vital functions. Song Tianba must feel very desperate,” said Liang Xinghua’s deputy in shock.
Liang Xinghua sighed and had a perplexed look on his face. “No matter how this fight ends, the old fart Song will disappear from the Stan City forever. I’ve been competing with him for dozens of years. Seeing him end up like this, I feel rather heavy-hearted.”
“Lord, do you want to help him?” asked the deputy.
“Help him?”
Liang Xinghua snorted. “Are you stupid? I indeed feel heavy-hearted, but it’s better the old fart Song dies. Now I have an explanation for the Danhui Sect. I can tell them he and that youngster died together. Then, the Liang family will be the actual owner of Stan City.”
He would be happy to see Song Tianba killed. If Song Tianba won, he would have to kill the old fart himself. A rare opportunity had presented itself, and with it, he could eliminate the Songs, his biggest enemy, in one go.
