At almost the same time, a great, terrible force attacked Xu Yangyi from behind.
The demon slayerâs body gracefully flipped through the air. All he felt was a billowing burst of qi from the clothes on his back. The power intensity made the blood and qi in his chest somewhat unstable.
âSo strong!â His gaze likewise chilled, and he flipped his hand to slash with his sword, but he didnât cut into anything.
The great hall was morbidly still.
Everyone watched this scene in astonishment. On the ground, Versaillesâs still-twitching headless corpse was spilling blood all over the ground. Elisana was dumbstruck⊠as was the great lycan who was looking face-to-face with Xu Yangyi, his hair standing on edge.
The hare rising and the falcon descending. The little white bunny, which theyâd previously thought they would capture, had suddenly transformed into a white tiger. In a span of several seconds, Versailles had been slain.
And although the high and lofty Savidean VII had taken action himself, he still couldnât block Xu Yangyi!
âVersailles⊠died?â Dumbstruck, a Marquis stared at the huge corpse, his lips shivering. âHe died⊠just like that?â
âHis Highness Versailles⊠was beheaded?â Out of reflex, a junior behind the Marquis stroked his neck. He shook without reason and went cold from head to toe. âHis Highness VII didnât save him?â
âI can hardly believe this⊠H-How is this possible?â
âI dare not believe this⊠His Highness Savidean VIIâs retainer was actually⊠actually killed just like that during the Holy War Feast⊠B-Beheaded right in front of us?â
âHis Highness VII acted himself, butâŠâ
The Marquises in the crowd tightly gritted their teeth and looked at Xu Yangyi.
This Chinese cultivator⊠was abnormally strong!
As Marquises in the same boundary, they understood all too well that they would be encircled by danger if confronted by Elisanaâs Hunting Technique. Regardless, Xu Yangyi had faced a double-sided pincer attack from Versailles and Elisana and the flagrant attack from a quasi Grand Duke at the same time. None of this had stopped him, though!
His killing intent was already determined!
âAll of you shut up!!!â An oppressive roar sounded. Savidean VII glared daggers at Xu Yangyi, his teeth grinding audibly. Each remark in the great hall was like a slap to his face.
The Holy War Feast was being overseen by him, but someone had died afterwards. And the one to die was even his personal attendant and retainer!
Even though Versailles was his dog, his death here posed an enormous problem! Especially since this dog had been beheaded by a mongrel cultivator!
Now that Savidean VII reflected on these recent events, how could he still not understand Xu Yangyiâs thoughts?
If one wanted to tear through an encirclement, first a point had to be ripped through. And Versailles was this fatal point.
The Realm Boundary Treasure drew attention, and the Heavenly Opening Great Explosion had caused him to split his attention. Xu Yangyiâs true goal, however, had been Versailles since the beginning.
A classic scheme of killing a chicken to ward off a monkey!
In slaying a man every ten steps, not a single leaf touched oneâs body.
But in front of all the Corvinusâ vassal families, he, the grand Savidean VII, actually hadnât managed to save his attendant! He could only look on as Versailles was beheaded!
âYou should be glad.â The great lycanâs golden slitted pupil bore into Xu Yangyi. âClown, you truly have angered me.â
Xu Yangyi smiled as he looked at Savidean VII. âIâm sorry, but Iâm not done talking yet.â
âIâve prepared two proposals, really. You refused my first one.â
âSo, next is the secondâŠâ All of his qi madly thundered. This time, the entirety of it was poured into the Fishbowel Sword without leaving a scrap behind. âNext is this move of mine.â
âLetâs see how many people here will survive!â
That terrible qi ascended once more, but this time it was even more berserk than before!
Blood-red runes seemed to come to a boil, faintly discernible in the great hall. This time, the qi swept through everyone. They could feel their skin grow numb!
BOOM!
At the same time, another extremely robust spiritual force violently erupted from Savidean VII, and all the people around him were blown over a dozen meters away. It was like a small storm had arrived. Behind him, a crescent moon could be faintly seen.
âCome tryâŠâ Savidean VII forced down the rage in his heart, his entire massive frame already creeping on the ground. He gnashed his teeth and said, âCome try⊠whether or not I can withstand this moveâŠâ
âIf you cannot defeat everyone here in one move, then I shall slice you apart and have them all eat you!â
Whoosh!
All of Xu Yangyiâs clothes rippled in the air, as if they had encountered an invisible wall. He, too, became completely solemn.
âVery strong. Right now⊠I might not be his opponent.â
â
This
is the high-end battle power of the West. Heâs much, much more powerful than his sibling Elisana⊠To the extent that even I feel⊠that not even Enihilus would be his opponent.â Xu Yangyi studied Savidean VII, but didnât act. Instead, he said in a calm voice, âYou can withstand it.â
âItâs good that you know,â Savidean VII coldly laughed, âBastard, you truly have the audacity to kill a member of the Corvinus during the Holy War Feast. But it is too late to pray.â
âBut what about everyone else?â Xu Yangyi said indifferently without paying any attention to the great wolf. He maintained the hair-trigger state of the Heavenly Opening Great Explosion
âAs for everyone else, I will naturally heal them.â Savidean VII grinded his teeth as if he was sharpening a blade. âDonât think about threatening me. Yes, I admit this move is strong, so much that it makes me feel as if I was sitting on pins and needles. No one else can withstand it. But! I can take on 70%! The remaining 30% cannot cause serious injuries!â
Xu Yangyiâs next words, however, caused all the fur on his body to stand on edge!
âRight before the Holy War comes?â
Right before the Holy War comes!
These words caused everyone to clamor!
Fright was revealed in everyoneâs gazes. Even Elisana at this time exhaled sharply as well. She couldnât help but take a step forward.
Yes⊠this move was the mid Marquis Xu Yangyi against a quasi Grand Duke. Furthermore, this quasi Grand Duke was well-known figure among quasi Grand Dukes. Perhaps the Heavenly Opening Great Explosion wouldnât instantly kill everyone here. Perhaps no one would even be seriously injured.
But the most important aspect of this was timing!
Ordinarily, none of this was important. Savidean VII held absolute confidence that he could kill Xu Yangyi. This was merely a question of time. But currently⊠this was a fatal point!
Not to mention the House of Corvinusâs Holy War Feast, if the scandal spread that all the participating Marquises were slightly injured and a majority of the Counts were seriously wounded⊠Still, this wasnât even the important part. It was after the Holy War that would become the most critical point.
In the exchange of moves between experts that were merely a hair apart from each other in prowess⊠could these wounds be healed before the Holy War? If they entered battle with injuries during the Holy War, would they possibly die?
If these wounds couldnât be healed⊠If the difference was down to a hundredth of a percent, then the Holy Relic would be easily taken in an instant!
âThis mongrel!!!â Elisanaâs eyes suddenly turned blood-red. She hadnât expected whatsoever that Xu Yangyi would actually threaten the entire House of Corvinus by himself!
Furthermore⊠while this threat appeared to be as soft as silk, a needle was in fact concealed within this silk. No one could imagine the resulting chain reaction!
For a moment, not a sound echoed through the great hall.
âOh?â Xu Yangyi glanced at the suddenly dead-silent crowd and laughed, âWhy arenât you attacking?â
âItâs not that you all hate me so deeply, but because youâre itching to slap me to death, right?â
No one spoke, but their gazes all looked to Savidean VII. He was the host. All of everything was his decision to make.
Gaze after gaze seemed to solidify. Ordinarily, they were respectful and worshiping, but at this moment they were like fire. They made him feel his skin burning!
Kill him! Kill him!
Savidean VII roared in his heart. This was already considered a humiliation! Through the compulsions of his subjects, a majestic quasi Grand Duke was taken hold of by a mid Marquis!
Kill?
He certainly couldnât do that. The Holy War was still a few months away. Under the system of accumulated points, ff it just so happened that some important battle power was injured and they happened to lose their battle, not to mention anyone else, then his strict father would have his hide!
Not to kill?
Did he have to forcibly choke down this vile stench in his stomach? Burning his internal organs like magma?
Truly⊠he truly wanted to devour Xu Yangyi. He wanted to chew the demon slayerâs bones to pieces and make the enemyâs blood flow along his snow-white furâŠ
âIâŠâ It could be said that in the crowdâs expectations that Savidean VIIâs teeth was audibly grinding. As a quasi Grand Duke, it had been too long since heâd suffered such silent humiliation.
After ages, he said with strong killing intent in his eyes, âI allow you to join the House of Corvinus.â
Xu Yangyi wore a smile on his face, and qi lingered over his entire body on alert. âAllow?â
Savidean VII didnât reply.
ShingâŠ
The rumbling over Xu Yangyiâs sword intensified even more!
âEnough!â Elisana was likewise wishing she could kick Xu Yangyi to death. Her eyes were flushed red through and through. âI invite you!â
âI represent the House of Corvinus⊠to invite you! To become New Yorkâs borough overseer!â
Xu Yangyi merely glanced at her disinterestedly. âWho are you?â
âI am the fourth princess of the Corvinus.â The top of Elisanaâs head was flaring smoke. She forced down the fury in her heart and coldly said, âMore or less, understand and be tactful⊠Many have died in the overseerâs position.â
Xu Yangyi nodded, but his next words nearly caused Elisana to vomit blood.
âYou are not worthy.â
âYOU!â
âThe one to invite me.â Xu Yangyi looked straight at Savidean VII. âWill be the one to make this decision.â
âYou are impudent!â
BOOM!
Before Elisanaâs angry shout even cleared the air, a sonorous noise immediately followed!
To the eyeâs extreme, an even gap strangely appeared on the ground in front of Savidean VII, just like a giant wolf had fiercely taken a bite out. It was no less than ten-odd meters all around.
Savidean VII didnât reply, instead looking at Xu Yangyi with a gloomy gaze. His white fur was moving freely of the wind, similar to a silver ripple. A good few seconds passed, and he said without any emotion, his voice like cold ice, âYouâre certain you want me to personally invite you.â
âBoy⊠each year, dozens of the House of Corvinusâ overseers die, but none cry for them in grievance.â
Xu Yangyi only smiled at this naked threat. The Fishbowel Sword in his hand hummed even more!
âGood.â A silent answer. Savidean VII looked at Xu Yangyi like a dead man. He was not raging, but began to laugh, âIn that case, I, Savidean VII, formally invite you to join the house of Corvinus. For the position of New Yorkâs overseer.â
His eyes, already flushed red in anger, narrowed. âI hope⊠you can survive for a little longer on this seat.â
However, Xu Yangyiâs next words caused everyone present to coldly gasp.
âThank you for your good intentions.â
âBut I donât accept.â
