Chapter 923 923: Does He Look Down on Me?
When Mei Qian said these words, it seemed as if she had forgotten something, even the original reason she had come to confront Yun Xiao.
Indeed, the background of the Spirit Fighting Commerce is overwhelmingly powerful, so much so that nearly no one on the Tenglong Continent dares to provoke them. Yet, the young man before her was an exception.
If Yun Xiao had truly been mindful of the Spirit Fighting Commerce, he wouldn't have antagonized them initially, nor would he have slaughtered all those elders of the Thunder City Spirit Fighting Branch before the Thunder King Valley, not to mention the fact that even Chairman Xu Huang died by his hand.
Leaving aside Xu Huang, the branch chairman, that Special Envoy Xia Yong from the headquarters was also obliterated by Yun Xiao with the Sealing Array of the Thunder King Valley. The enmity between him and the Spirit Fighting Commerce had long been marked by 'Undying'
At least Yun Xiao believed that if he spared Mei Qian today, he would likely face even more frantic retaliation from the Spirit Fighting Commerce. In any case, since it was a matter of 'Undying', why would he let go of this woman who dared to meddle with him?
Yun Xiao had no pity whatsoever for the fairer sex. Even if Mei Qian seemed exceptionally charming, to him, she was just a Red Powder Skull.
"Yun Xiao, I have some influence in the Commerce headquarters. If you let me go, I can arrange for someone to smooth over what you've done in the past. What do you think?"
Seeing no signs of compromise from Yun Xiao, Mei Qian grew anxious. The "things" she mentioned, naturally referred to Yun Xiao's extermination of the Yulei City Commerce Branch and the killing of Special Envoy Xia Yong.
If it were a normal cultivator hearing Mei Qian's plea, they might be moved. After all, no one would want the daunting weight of the Spirit Fighting Commerce hanging over their head when there was a chance to resolve it.
Crack!
But unfortunately, Yun Xiao wasn't someone indecisive. Just as Mei Qian finished her words, a soft sound suddenly echoed, and she felt a pain in her chest, causing her to lower her head uncontrollably.
"This... you... Yun Xiao, you..."
As Mei Qian lowered her head, she was horrified to see the tip of an ebony sword protruding from her chest. This wooden sword was not unfamiliar to her; it was Yun Xiao's indestructible peculiar wooden sword.
Mei Qian never expected this coarse-clothed young man to be so decisive. Even while she was persuading him, he didn't even give it a thought and used this wooden sword, hidden who knows where, to pierce her heart.
Was he truly unafraid of the Spirit Fighting Commerce settling scores with him later? At least Mei Qian knew that if the Spirit Fighting Commerce wanted to trouble someone on the Tenglong Continent, that person would certainly not escape, unless they were an important figure in one of the other three principal forces.
"With just you, an Origin Seeking Realm Middle Stage division elder, do you really think you're qualified to do those things?"
In the last moments as Mei Qian's life dissipated, she finally heard this young man across from her utter these words. Then, her vision went black, and she knew nothing more.
Indeed, Mei Qian's previous statements held no confidence. Even if a Commerce branch elder had ties with some influential figures at the headquarters, such significant matters were not for her alone to decide.
If it were some trivial matters, perhaps those strong figures interested in her would deal with them casually. But who was Yun Xiao? He was the one who killed Special Envoy Xia Yong and destroyed the entire Bianlei City Commerce Branch.
If Mei Qian knew that the Special Envoy Xia Yong who died by Yun Xiao's hand had actually been dispatched personally by the Vice President of the Commerce headquarters, one wonders if she would have taken back her words?
In any case, these matters were things the now dead Mei Qian would never know. Her beautiful presence now forever gone, perhaps for some time, the Bianlei City Spirit Fighting Commerce Branch would lose much of its charm.
Killing an Origin Seeking Realm Middle Stage Mei Qian didn't bother Yun Xiao in the slightest. He raised his head, shooting a cold glance at a distant silhouette.
"Is he coming to kill me?"
Even at such a distance, Ye Suxin, under Yun Xiao's glance, felt as if her life was no longer her own. The shocking events of this battle left her unable to regain her composure for a long time.
Originally, she believed that with Zheng Qiming, the Seven Killings Guardian of the Peak of Seeking Origin Realm, at her side, that brat named Yun Xiao wouldn't be able to cause much trouble.
Moreover, it wasn't just the Killing Heart Sect looking to trouble Yun Xiao today; the Thunder King Valley, Spirit Fighting Commerce, and the Xiao Family's formidable forces were also not to be underestimated.
Who could have expected the final outcome? Zheng Qiming was punched to death, Xiao Baishi of the Xiao Family was kicked to death, the Kong brothers from Sky Thunder Valley were obliterated, and Mei Qian of the Bianlei City Spirit Fighting Commerce Branch met her end.
All of this was contrary to Ye Suxin's expectations. It was completely opposite. Just how many hidden cards did this young man have?
Every time you think you've seen through him, another kind of unique and overwhelming trump card emerges, easily wiping out his enemies.
In fact, at this moment, Ye Suxin was nearly ten miles away from Yun Xiao, but even so, she still felt that if he wanted to kill her, even doubling the distance wouldn't guarantee her safety.
However, in the end, that coarse-clothed boy did not pursue her. While Ye Suxin breathed a sigh of relief, she unexpectedly felt a vague sense of disappointment. This contradictory mindset was truly bewildering.
"Does he look down on me?"
This thought inexplicably rose in Ye Suxin's mind, but she knew that from today onward, she could never be considered an opponent by that coarse-clothed boy, because there was simply no comparison between them.
Yun Xiao, who glanced at Ye Suxin from such a distance, indeed had such thoughts in mind. Of course, this reason was only a small part of why he did not pursue and kill Ye Suxin.
For a genius from the Killing Heart Sect who wanted to kill him from the moment they met, Yun Xiao had no tender feelings at all. If Ye Suxin were standing in front of him, he would undoubtedly slap her to death with a flick.
But now, Yun Xiao had reached the peak of the Seeking Origin Realm with the power of the Golden Snake Worm Xiao Wu. After making moves against Zheng Qiming, Xiao Baishi, and Mei Qian, he was actually at his limit.
Just as Zheng Qiming and Xiao Baishi had thought earlier, this time Yun Xiao's "secret technique" enhancement couldn't last long, although it was already longer than previous times borrowing Xiao Wu's power.
Yun Xiao knew that even if he chased over to Ye Suxin, he would fall into a terrifying period of weakness due to the exhaustion of his Meridian Qi. At most, he could rely on Chi Yan and others to protect him, but couldn't possibly attack Ye Suxin.
Given this, he might as well stop. After all, Ye Suxin, who was only at the early stage of the Seeking Origin Realm, posed no real threat to him even without external force. Letting her go was of no consequence.
Huff... Huff...
Not until Ye Suxin had disappeared into the distance did the power in Yun Xiao's body recede like the tide, causing him to slump to the ground, finding it extremely difficult to even lift a finger.
"Huh? This time you didn't fall asleep?"
However, when Yun Xiao's inner vision caught a small figure, he was a bit surprised. Previously, when ending the use of the Golden Snake Worm Xiao Wu's power, it always entered a period of sleep, unfailingly.
But now, apart from its golden glow dimming slightly, the Golden Snake Worm Xiao Wu did not fall asleep. This was a marked difference from before, to Yun Xiao's slight surprise and joy.
After all, the Golden Snake Worm Xiao Wu was Yun Xiao's greatest trump card. Without its power, he might have been forced to use the Thunder Dragon's Wings to escape, never achieving today's astonishing victory.
Among the enemies who came, besides leaving Ye Suxin alive, only one Flying Beast Pulse Demon lay obediently by his side. Other figures like Zheng Qiming, Xiao Baishi, Mei Qian, and the Xue brothers of Thunder Valley had all turned into cold corpses, never to move again.
This was all thanks to the Golden Snake Worm Xiao Wu. Yun Xiao alone couldn't achieve this, at least not yet, making the fact that Xiao Wu didn't fall asleep a pleasant surprise for him.
However, Xiao Wu now seemed drained, lacking even the strength to banter with Yun Xiao. All it could manage was to stay awake, but to restore its peak combat power, it would take some time.
"Heh, this time I've reaped quite a bit!"
Guiding his Inner Vision Eye outward and summoning back Red Feather and the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad, Yun Xiao then closed his eyes for some meditation. Before long, he rose, collecting the Waist Storages from the corpses. When he sensed the wealth within, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Although Yun Xiao was not short on money now, more wealth was always welcome. The spoils of this battle had more than compensated for his losses at the Thunder City Douling Commerce auction, with a sizeable surplus.
"It's a pity there was no thunder attribute heavenly materials and earthly treasures!"
However, the next moment, a hint of regret surfaced on Yun Xiao's face. After breaking through to the early stage of the Seeking Origin Realm, according to the Golden Snake Worm, the second Thunder Attribute Ancestral Vein had started to surface. But to truly activate it, he needed to seek out thunder attribute heavenly materials and earthly treasures for stimulation.
Having tasted the sweetness of the Thunder Dragon's Wings several times, Yun Xiao valued this heaven-defying ability, achievable in the Earth Rank Third Realm, even more.
If he could fully activate this second Thunder Attribute Ancestral Vein, not only would his flying capability improve, but his speed would likely receive a significant boost as well.
