Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Chapter 247 Battle with Xue Wuhen

No one can break it?

Then let me be the one!

Before this...

This sentence had been the butt of many jokes, with people thinking Xiao Yi was overrating his own abilities.

But now.

Xiao Yi had actually done it.

At least.

In the Combat Pavilion, under the same conditions of being at the Golden Elixir Realm Peak as Xiao Tianjiao was at the time, he reached the same level as Xiao Tianjiao.

Ninety-nine consecutive victories!

He had equaled Xiao Tianjiao's record!

"Impossible, how could this be possible? My son Tianjiao's record has been equaled? No, it can't be..." Xiao Zhengde was completely enraged, venting like a madman in the VIP room, smashing tables and chairs, beating maidservants.

The floor gained a few more cold corpses.

All beaten to death by him.

The guard was trembling with fear, hiding in the corner and watching the hysterical Xiao Zhengde with a sense of dread.

"My son Tianjiao is the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor, unique through the ages... The record he set was unprecedented and unmatched; how could it be equaled? Why has it come to this..."

Xiao Zhengde's eyes were bloodshot.

In his heart, Xiao Tianjiao was perfect; no blemish could be tolerated.

But now...

Xiao Yi's equaling Xiao Tianjiao's record was like a black blemish on a pure and flawless piece of jade, tarnishing the beautiful gem, utterly ruining that perfect jade pendant.

"Bastard, damn it all!"

Suddenly, Xiao Zhengde, like a man possessed, looked at the guard and grabbed him by the neck.

He needed to vent his frustration and anger through killing.

The guard's face turned red, struggling desperately, he yelled with all his might, "Master, I have a way..."

"Hmm?"

Xiao Zhengde paused, loosening his grip a little, he frowned and said, "What did you say?"

The guard gasped for breath, disregarding his narrow escape from death and said hastily, "He, he has not quite equaled the young master's record yet. In the young master's hundredth fight back then, he withstood two moves from Xue Wuhen before showing signs of defeat, and he also seriously injured Xue Wuhen. As long as he dies at the hands of Xue Wuhen, the record will still belong to the young master!"

Xiao Zhengde's eyes lit up, he laughed and said, "You're right, if Xue Wuhen kills this boy in one move, the record will still be my son Tianjiao's. Go, tell Xue Wuhen that if he kills that boy within one move, I will grant him a breakthrough opportunity to the Dharma Manifestation Realm, and besides, the Xiao family will owe him a favor."

"I will go immediately!"

The guard let out a long sigh of relief and quickly left the VIP room.

A moment later.

He found Xue Wuhen through the Combat Pavilion.

Xue Wuhen was preparing to take the field himself; he didn't care whether Xiao Yi could break Xiao Tianjiao's record, what mattered to him was that he absolutely could not let Xiao Yi achieve a hundred consecutive victories.

At this time, the guard of the Xiao family actually came to him.

Xue Wuhen squinted and said, "He?"

The guard hastily said, "Pavilion Master Xue, my master asked me to inform you... if you can kill that boy within one move, our Xiao family will grant you a breakthrough opportunity to the Dharma Manifestation Realm, additionally owing you a favor!"

"Hmm?"

Xue Wuhen was startled, a trace of burning desire flashed in his eyes.

A favor from the Xiao family meant a favor from Xiao Tianjiao.

That was worth a fortune!

Moreover...

There was the opportunity for a breakthrough to the Dharma Manifestation Realm.

If it had been anyone else who made such an offer, he might have had doubts, but the Xiao family, with a monster like Xiao Tianjiao, indeed had the ability to offer such an opportunity.

Plus, Xue Wuhen already intended to stop Xiao Yi from getting a hundred consecutive victories.

To go with the flow, why not?

Xue Wuhen nodded and said, "Go back and tell Xiao, I accept this matter!"

"Then I hereby wish Pavilion Master Xue a triumphant victory in advance!" The guard also breathed a sigh of relief.

No sooner had the guard left.

Yang Jin appeared in front of Xue Wuhen. Xue Wuhen dared not treat Yang Jin as lightly as he did the guard, he saluted with his hands and said, "Your Highness!"

Yang Jin nodded and said indifferently, "I want you to kill him!"

"Rest assured, Your Highness!"

Xue Wuhen bared a ferocious and cold smile, "I will execute him!"

"Hmm!"

Yang Jin left with an indifferent expression on his face.

Xue Wuhen took a deep breath, his eyes glinting with a cold, knife-like light, "Kid, you can't blame me for this. Too many people want you dead!"

...

In the dueling arena.

Xiao Yi sat cross-legged, with his eyes closed, gathering his strength.

Whoosh!

He suddenly opened his eyes to see Xue Wuhen appearing not far in front of him.

Their eyes locked.

Xue Wuhen spoke indifferently, "I didn't want to kill you, but someone came to me, wanting your life!"

Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow, "The Xiao Family?"

"Not just the Xiao Family!"

"Tianjian Sect?"

Xue Wuhen nodded, not surprised that Xiao Yi could guess the Xiao Family and the Tianjian Sect. Within the vast Great Qian Dynasty, probably only these two powers wouldn't want to see the legend of Xiao Tianjiao shattered.

With firm steps approaching Xiao Yi, Xue Wuhen said with an indifferent expression, "To make it this far at the peak of the Golden Core Realm, you are truly strong, even giving me the impression that you're stronger than Xiao Tianjiao in his early days. If it were me back then, even if I could beat you, it would be extremely difficult. But now, killing you would be as easy as flipping my hand!"

The murderous aura on his body became more and more concentrated, chilling to the bone.

A cold breath enveloped the entire Heaven Character Pavilion.

Everyone subconsciously tightened their collars.

The chill was bone-piercingly cold.

It was the concentration of a supreme killing intent.

Tao Tribulation Realm Peak!

Even if the great battle back then had damaged his foundation, after many years of healing, his injuries had long since recovered. Even without stepping into the Dharma Manifestation Realm, he was much stronger than before. Xue Wuhen beckoned, "Sword, come!"

Whoosh!

A flood of blood erupted from within his body, spreading up his arm, ultimately condensing in his palm.

A blood-colored longsword appeared.

The sword was coiled with a blood snake; its scales were lifelike, as if it were alive.

"A Sixth-Layer Primal Soldier Bloody Mang Sword?"

"Who would have thought Xue Wuhen would bring out this sword — he's going to slice that man with a single strike!"

"It's over, it's over, I, I actually placed a hundred billion on him! If he loses now, won't I be ruined?"

"Idiot, we knew from the start that the Combat Pavilion wouldn't let him win easily. We all bet on Xue Wuhen to win. You dared to place a bet on him; if you lose, who can you blame?"

A low shout drowned out the murmured discussions.

"Blood Python Swallowing the Dragon!"

Xue Wuhen thrust out the Bloody Mang Sword in his hand.

Whoosh!

The blood snake on the sword seemed to come to life, its eyes emitting a dim, cold light, and a blood snake over ten meters long opened its huge mouth.

A blood-colored glow instantly covered the entire dueling arena.

The ground of the platform thundered and roared wherever the blood sword light passed, like a dragon turning over, shattering the ground with loud noises. Everything seemed to be on the verge of destruction, even the protective Array surrounding the dueling area was violently trembling, appearing as if it might shatter.

Xiao Yi's pupils suddenly contracted, as he struck against the tide with his Fire Qilin Sword, "Azure Lotus Rebirth!"

Whoosh!

A Three-Colored Sword Lotus condensed.

However...

Xue Wuhen's strength was ultimately far too much for him, as a giant blood python swallowed the Three-Colored Sword Lotus in one bite.

With a booming sound.

Xiao Yi's figure flew backward, vomiting fresh blood, landing staggeringly.

The Fire Qilin Sword in his hand shattered into pieces amidst crackling sounds, and fresh blood continuously spilled from Xiao Yi's mouth.

After all, he was only at the Golden Elixir Realm Peak.

Even though the Golden Elixir Halo had been reformed and had shrunk back to twenty layers, and even though he was bolstered by the Wind Thunder Holy Body, he was only comparable to an ordinary Tao Tribulation Realm Peak. Faced with Xue Wuhen, who was among the top warriors of the Tao Tribulation Realm Peak, Xiao Yi's current cultivation was still not enough.

"You lost!"

Xue Wuhen said expressionlessly, "In consideration of your talent, I will leave you a whole corpse!"

"Heh, heh-heh..."

Xiao Yi, however, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and let out a series of low chuckles, slowly raising his head and staring intently at Xue Wuhen. On his body, a layer of blood-colored light continued to spread as he said, word by word, "This is just the beginning!"
