Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Chapter 320 It's My Honor

"You're the one seeking death!"

The cold voice was filled with ghastly murderous intent.

Xiao Yi burst forth from the Cave of Desire, bringing with him a gale that with a bang, pounced directly upon Tan Zheng.

"Hmm?"

Tan Zheng's face changed, his body radiating light for a hundred yards.

Vast amounts of vital energy converged in front of him, forming an energy shield that gleamed with the luster of gold, as if forged from the metal itself. It was immensely solid, such that even the common warriors at the Tao Tribulation Realm Peak would dream of shattering it.

However...

Under the sweep of this ferocious wind.

This powerful energy shield exploded with a bang.

The violent wind enveloped Tan Zheng, hurling his form viciously through the air.

Wow!

Tan Zheng let out a scream, his body flying backward like a kite with its string cut, bright red blood spraying wildly from his mouth. It traced a beautiful arc in the air and then crash-landed dozens of meters away with a thump.

Hiss!

Before the Cave of Desire, a deathly silence prevailed.

Everyone was staring, dumbstruck at the scene before them.

Tan Zheng was a warrior at the Tao Tribulation Realm Peak, yet the mere air disturbance caused by Xiao Yi's rush was able to destroy his vital energy shield?

How terrifying must that strength be?

Even a common master at the first layer of the Dharma Manifestation Realm would likely find it difficult to manage this feat, wouldn't they?

Gulp!

Sha Ying involuntarily swallowed, his arms which were previously crossed in front of his chest with an indifferent spectator's gaze, unconsciously loosened and fell to his sides.

Xiao Yi helped Along up and pulled out the long spear from his body.

He threw him a pill to consume.

Xiao Yi said with a dark face, "Are you alright?"

Along forced a weak smile on his pale face, "I won't die!"

"That's good. You rest here; the rest is up to me."

Xiao Yi's icy gaze turned to the trembling Tan Zheng as he struggled to stand up, fresh blood continuously pouring from his mouth and his pale face with a pair of pitch-black eyes glaring fixedly at Xiao Yi, "Who on earth are you?"

Xiao Yi coldly said, "Weren't you looking for the culprit who killed Tan Huajian? It is I!"

"You..."

Tan Zheng's face changed slightly, and with a somber expression, he said, "With your strength, why would you have to deal such a ruthless hand to my son?" Your next read awaits at My Virtual Library Empire

Xiao Yi replied, "Your blind son wanted to kill me; if I don't kill him, should I just stretch out my neck for him to do the deed?"

"..."

Tan Zheng was left speechless, his expression changing uncertainly, and he said sternly, "Even if my son was wrong, you could have spared his life, and I would have made him apologize to you. That would have been the end of it. Yet you cruelly took his life..."

Xiao Yi responded with an "Oh," and said, "I'm sorry!"

"Ah?"

Tan Zheng was stunned.

The surrounding crowd was equally bewildered.

What was going on?

Xiao Yi clearly had the absolute upper hand, so why had he suddenly apologized?

While Tan Zheng was still in a daze.

Xiao Yi indifferently said, "I apologize to you first, then I shall kill you, and that will be the end of it!"

Tan Zheng stared, dumbfounded: "..."

Just as he was about to speak.

He suddenly felt the world spin, and before his progressively blurring vision, his own body appeared.

It turned out...

His head had taken off on its own.

Flying towards the ground behind him.

Bang!

Tan Zheng's head landed firmly on the ground, while Xiao Yi shook his head, looking at Along, "I've never heard such a peculiar request before, that an apology could permit killing..."

Along: "..."

Sha Ying: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Xiao Yi, too lazy to pay attention to the crowd, walked straight to the elder and said, "Senior, please trouble yourself to write my name up there!"

"Alright!"

The elder, facing Xiao Yi again, no longer acted as casual as before and his expression became more solemn. He said, "May I ask for your name, young master? To which level of the Cave of Desire did you reach?"

Xiao Yi enunciated each word, "Xiao Yi! The eighteenth level!"

Boom!

Even though everyone had a premonition when they saw Xiao Yi make a move, they still couldn't help but gasp in shock when they heard Xiao Yi himself speak of reaching the eighteenth level.

The elder's hand trembled slightly as he meticulously wrote Xiao Yi's name on the leaderboard.

A full eighteen dazzling gold stars.

All were incredibly brilliant.

Like a blazing sun, they outshone all other lights in the world.

The one most directly affected...

...was none other than Xiao Tianjiao, who once topped the list as the idol and target of everyone's pursuit!

Those once highly glorious seventeen stars.

In front of Xiao Yi, became dim and lacklustre!

Looking at the name Xiao Tianjiao beneath his own, Xiao Yi's lips curled up slightly, "Xiao Tianjiao, I'm getting closer and closer to you!"

After the elder had written Xiao Yi's name on the leaderboard, it seemed he remembered something and looked towards Sha Ying: "Sha Ying, didn't you say earlier that you wanted to be notified immediately if anyone reached the eighteenth level? His name is Xiao Yi, this young master right here!"

Sha Ying, who had been preparing to sneak away, felt a shiver down his spine and cold sweat ran down his back; he wanted to curse that old man to death!

His mouth twitched into a smile uglier than a cry as he cupped his hands towards Xiao Yi: "Xiao, Xiao Yi, congratulations on breaking Xiao Tianjiao's record."

Xiao Yi's face showed a hint of amusement: "You've been waiting here to congratulate me?"

"That, that of course!"

Sha Ying nodded hastily, having witnessed Xiao Yi slaughtering Tan Zheng like a pig or dog, he dared not entertain any other notions.

The onlookers looked at Sha Ying with thick disdain: "Just now, we didn't know who was spouting bold claims, saying something about letting the person who broke into the eighteenth level know why the flower is so red!"

"Now he's chickened out..."

"But Xiao Yi is indeed powerful, killing Tan Zheng as if crushing ants. Speaking of which, he also has the surname Xiao; since when did the Xiaos have so many geniuses..."

Sha Ying's face turned green.

The whispered conversations of the crowd felt like thorns in his back.

Damn it!

Shut your mouths!

Sha Ying looked towards Xiao Yi and, seeing the mocking look in his eyes, hurriedly said: "Brother Xiao's talent is astonishing, and his martial prowess is unmatched. I am utterly in awe. I would like to offer you a banquet at Dragon Phoenix Tower, Brother Xiao, and wonder if you would honor me with your presence?"

"Xiao, I'm hungry..." Along suddenly said.

Little Lin in his arms: "Boss, I'm hungry too!"

Xiao Yi: "..."

He looked at Sha Ying and shrugged his shoulders, "Then I'll trouble you!"

Sha Ying was dumbstruck.

He was just being polite, trying to change the subject.

But who would have thought that Xiao Yi would actually agree?

Sha Ying wanted to cry but had no tears: I really don't want to spend another moment with you!

Still, he could only manage a forced smile and said humbly, "It's no trouble, it's my honor..."

The party of three headed straight for the Dragon Phoenix Tower.

Dragon Phoenix Tower in Beast Emperor City is a top-tier restaurant where even a casual meal costs several thousand silver, and the most extravagant Dragon Phoenix Banquet is worth a hundred million silver.

Today, Sha Ying had reserved the Dragon Phoenix Banquet to celebrate reaching the sixteenth level of the Cave of Desire.

He also invited many friends.

As Sha Ying stepped into Dragon Phoenix Tower, a group of friends greeted him, congratulating him one by one: "Hahaha, Brother Sha, congratulations on your new achievement!"

"Now, aside from Xiao Tianjiao, you're the one on the Cave of Desire leaderboard, right?"

"Today, we're definitely going to have a good time at your expense..."

Listening to his friends' congratulatory words, Sha Ying's eyes twitched, and he felt like crying but couldn't. Just as he was about to reply, he heard one of them, a sly-looking young man, step forward and say: "Brother Sha, we've gone to great lengths to celebrate for you, even tricking the young lady from the city lord's manor to come here..."
