Asura Sovereign VI

by Shian Jeen

  “So, you’re nothing more than an embroidered pillow, nice to see but of no use!” The tiny squad leader laughed aloud. However, just like the first note of laughter sounded, the cutlass’ energy that slashed into Huwang Xiao rebounded.

  Seeing his strike being rebound, the tiny squad leader was frightened, leaping back hastily to dodge it. The attack energy flew past his face, millimetres away from his pores and skin. However, his back again dampened from chilly sweat.

  He glared at Huwang Xiao, veiling his embarrassment with anger, “They want to trespass into the palace grounds, everyone assault, get rid of them!”

  The surrounding palace guards recovered using their shock, unsheathing the swords and cutting blades in their hands and aimed attacks at Huwang Xiao’s group of three.

  At this point, Huwang Xiao viewed, his eyes icy. Since they chose this, then your blame had not been on him. Raising both his hands, his palms struck out.

  Before many pairs of horrified eyes, fiendish Asura qi flooded away, transforming into an underworld evil dragon. The evil dragon merely hovered in the air, but all the guards were thrown back. When these palace guards fell to the ground, their body were dark, twitching, and wailing in pain.

  Huwang Xiao’s Saint realm Asura qi was more terrifying than it used to be, not even a Fourth Order Saint world expert could resist his Asura Qi, what more these measly palace guards.

  Initially, those families’ disciples that came to join up for the palace guards tryout were gloating inside viewing Huwang Xiao as he dared to anger a small squad leader, but just when they thought that Huwang Xiao was inactive for sure, the result shocked everyone, they were rooted blankly on the spot.

  Dread filled their eye as they looked at Huwang Xiao.

  At the same time, inside the Luo Tong Kingdom Palace’s great hall, laughter and music packed the environment, it was an extremely festive atmosphere.

  In the fantastic hall, several palace maids was playing musical instruments and dancing, swaying their hips and twisting their naked bellies.

  On the King’s throne sat an old man with a ruddy, glowing face, and silvery white hair, looking quite dignified. At this moment, he was staring fixedly at the dancers’ exposed bellies, a twinkle flitting across his eyes from time to time.

  This old man was none other than Deities Templar’s Great Elder, Gě Gé.

  There were a complete of nine Great Elders in Deities Templar, each one was a Tenth Order Saint realm and above, possessing strength parallel using their status. And below the throne, sat ten Deities Templar Elders.

  Killing Lu Kai three years ago, apart from Ao Baixue being area of the reason, Deities Templar also wished to lure Huwang Xiao out, even sending Gě Gé and ten Elders to a little kingdom such as Luo Tong Kingdom, laying in wait for Huwang Xiao to appear.

  Amongst the 10 Deities Templar Elders within the hall, Yao Shan was one of them.

  His most brilliant descendent, Yao Fei, have been killed by Huwang Xiao, thus Yao Shan requested to be one of the Elders watching over Luo Tong Kingdom. He wanted to severe Huwang Xiao’s head from his shoulders along with his own hands, it was the only way the hatred in his center could be pacified.

  “Everyone, please.” Gě Gé raised his wine cup, toasting the Elders.

  Yao Shan and the other Elders followed, raising their wine cups for a toast, downing it all in a single gulp.

  Gě Gé placed his wine glass down, smacking his lip area and grinning, “This Snow Moon Wine, I really like it.”

  This sentence brought murmurs of assent from the Elders below.

  Yao Shan spoke, “We’ve been waiting here for 3 years, I didn’t expect Huwang Xiao, that punk, to hide for three years, too cowardly to show up. No one understands where he’s hiding at.”

  An Elder, Jiang Shi, that was sitting beside Yao Shan chuckled, “He’s afraid of our Deities Templar, however, if he actually succeeded the Asura’s Gate Sovereign position, it would quite troublesome to your Deities Templar.”

  Gě Gé laughed with dismissive shade, “No need to worry, he won’t succeed Asura’s Gate Sovereign position, that Chen Tianqi joined hands with Bedlam Lands’ LAS VEGAS Castellan, Zhao Yi, and not long ago, our Temple Preceptor has sent Elder Li Molin to the Asura’s Gate headquarters. A heaven’s net has been set up, just waiting for Huwang Xiao to jump in. The instant he dares to seem, he’s dead!”

  Exactly at this moment, a robust energy fluctuation originated from the palace doors outdoors. Everyone was amazed and exchanged looks among themselves.

  “There are people who dare to cause trouble in Luo Tong Palace?” Jiang Shi said.

  “Could it be Huwang Xiao? He’s finally here!” Yao Shan blurted as the thought flashed through his brain.

  Expressions tightened at the possibility.

  Gě Gé stood up from the throne seat, sneering coldly, “Huwang Xiao? Better still if it’s him! We’ve been looking forward to today for 3 years. Come, let’s us go welcome Martial Nature World’s most dazzling monstrous genius of all time!”

  Everyone got on their feet, flying out from the hall, proceeding straight to the palace’s main doors.

  At the same time, at the palace’s main doors, Huwang Xiao stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the palace great hall structure with a taunting smile, “Eleven Saint realm experts? Deities Templar really puts me on a high pedestal.”

  A bright light flickered, Gě Gé and the ten Elders appeared in the area above the palace’s main doorways. As soon as those eleven Saint world experts appeared, a suffocating pressure enveloped the whole square. Before some of the palace guards and family members’ disciples could react, their physiques exploded from the pressure, and the others fled in horror.

  “You’re Huwang Xiao?” Gě Gé scrutinized Huwang Xiao from head to toe upon introduction.

  “Correct.” Huwang Xiao replied calmly.

  “Huwang Xiao, I didn’t expect you to really dare showing up here!” Yao Shan sneered, “Today’s your end! I want to see if you can still flee this time!”

  Gě Gé signaled the 10 Elders along with his eye, and they all disseminate, encircling Huwang Xiao, Zhao Shu, and Zhang Fu.

  Gě Gé stared at Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu, saying, “Both of you are probably Asura’s Gate Left and Right Custodians. Truth be told, there is no advantage for you to risk your life for Huwang Xiao. If you’re willing to swear allegiance to Deities Templar, we will definitely treat you justly.”

  Ch.371

  Swear allegiance to Deities Templar?

  Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu showed indifference at Gě Gé’s try to lure them.

  Viewing their reaction, Yao Shan harrumphed, “Our Temple Preceptor said that it is not easy that you should have cultivated until this level, thus he was gracious enough to give you a chance. Know your place and be grateful! Otherwise, your endings will be the same as Huwang Xiao’s, death!”

  Zhao Shu mocked disdainfully as he viewed Yao Shan, “Die? Base on your capability?”

  Yao Shan was just an insignificant Sixth Order Saint realm in Zhao Shu’s eyes. That time in Increasing Sunlight City, if it weren’t for Li Molin and Yao Shan operating fast enough, Yao Shan would have definitely passed away under his hand.

  Yao Shan turned red viewing the mocking disdain in Zhao Shu’s eye, “You…!”But Yao Shan knew, going one on one, he wasn’t Zhao Shu’s opponent.

  Gě Gé interjected at this point, “Huwang Xiao, if you hand over the God Binding Band and the Absolute Soul Pearl, I can consider letting you die more comfortably. Have you any idea how that Lu Kai died? We skinned him and dug his tendons, allowing him to die only after half of a month of torture.”

  A clear glint flickered in Huwang Xiao’s eyes, pools of black fiendish qi surged in their depths.

  “Therefore, in a little while, I won’t let you die so comfortably!” Huwang Xiao’s voice bore frigid coldness.

  Gě Gé laughed obnoxiously, “Is that so? Huwang Xiao, ah, Huwang Xiao. Your death is near, yet you
r mouth remains so stubborn! Do you think that counting on Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu, only two persons, that they can still protect you now? ” Gě Gé signaled the Elders with his eye again as he said this, his own momentum increased sharply as a giant of a bear materialized above him. This is Gě Gé’s martial soul.

  Gě Gé spirit changed immediately, both his hands became twice as big, looking like paws, slamming down on Zhang Fu.

  At the same time, Deities Templar Elder Jiang Shi and the other four Elders aimed their attacks at Zhao Shu.

  Gě Gé and Zhang Fu’s strengths were at similar levels. Although Jiang Shi and the other Elders' strength wasn't at peak late-Tenth Order Saint world, these were still a formidable group, consisting of an early Tenth Order Saint realm, and a mid-Tenth Order Saint world. Five Elders together was enough to suppress Zhao Shu.

  This was decided way back when.

  The remaining five Elders, including Yao Shan, exposed smug expressions, encircling Huwang Xiao in the middle.

  “Huwang Xiao, without Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu, killing you is only a flip of palm for me personally!” Yao Shan sneered, “Guarding here for quite some time, it was only to eliminate you with my own hands!” His palms were right like blades, chopping down on Huwang Xiao.

  “Mountain Breaking Palm!” The power of his hand carried a momentum that could break up mountains with one strike!

  Ruthlessness exploded in Yao Shan’s eyes.

  The other four Elders did not move, standing at the side, watching Yao Shan attack. Within their opinion, Yao Shan’s Sixth Order Saint realm power was more than sufficient to kill Huwang Xiao, stating it was as easy as snapping his fingers was no exaggeration. They need not do anything.

  However, just as Yao Shan’s palm struck away, Huwang Xiao’s silhouette vanished into thin air, when he reappeared, he was high above the sq .. Watching the five people below, a snicker sounded from Huwang Xiao. Then, with a wave of his hands, countless dark beetles flew direct at Yao Shan and the four Deities Templar Elders.

  Looking at the large number of black beetles, Yao Shan laughed out loud, assuming they were just average poisonous dark beetles, “Huwang Xiao, don’t inform me you don’t know, poisonous creatures are useless against us Saint world experts!”

  A Saint realm expert's physique was extremely tough and immune to average poisons.

  The four other Deities Templar Elders were also laughing at the side. Just like Yao Shan, non-e of these paid any attention to those poisonous black beetles. When those dark beetles reached in front of them, the five Deities Templar Elders simply flicked their sleeves, sending a battle flame to burn away those insects.

  But what occurred next shocked them. Those black beetles actually flew approved their fight flames, baring their razor-sharp teeth at them.

  “This, what is happening?!” One of the Elders was flustered, slamming both his hands at the dark beetles coming at him, but in the next second, he pointed out that the black beetles that were slapped away crawled back up almost instantly and continued to attack.

  The five Elders’ faces became grim.

  Viewing their reaction, a cold smirk tugged at Huwang Xiao’s mouth, these black color beetles were the Poison Corpse Scarabs that he tamed from the foundation Forest. How terrible these Poison Corpse Scarabs could be, he had experienced it for himself.

  Which was why Huwang Xiao exerted extra effort using Ancient Puppetry Artwork and Spirit Mandate to regulate the Poison Corpse Scarabs after returning from the Origin Forest. Until today, the number of Poison Corpse Scarabs that Huwang Xiao could control experienced reached ten thousand.

  “What damn things are these?!” Yao Shan’s angry tone of voice rang out. Those dark beetles actually didn't dread his battle flame, and didn’t pass away no matter how he attacked them!

  Gě Gé, Jiang Shi, and other Deities Templar Elders noticed the situation on Yao Shan’s side and looked over.

  Suddenly, one of the Deities Templar Elders felt a sharp pain in his arm. Checking the location, he noticed a dark beetle on his arm with its poisonous pinchers trapped deep into his flesh.

  Before he could react, a numbing paralysis rapidly spread through his entire body. Within the next minute, he noticed that he was actually struggling to collect his fight qi!

  Struggling to gather battle qi!

  Whole body numb, unable to move!

  His eye widened in shock. In the blink of an vision, one Poison Corpse Scarab after another landed on the Elder’s body-arms, thighs, waistline, chest, head, even drilling into his ears and nostrils.

  “Save me, quick, save me!” He screamed in horror at Gě Gé and Yao Shan as despair crept up his eyes.

  Yao Shan, Gě Gé, and others were greatly alarmed as they watched the black beetles cover the Deities Templar Elder entirely, eating off his flesh at terrifying acceleration.

  “Save me you all!!” That Elder screamed again, voice shrill with fear. He struggled, attempting to run, to attain out for help, but everything was futile.

  No more than a dozen breaths later, the Poison Corpse Scarabs did their work on the Elder, leaving behind the white bone fragments of the skeleton. Seeing this result, Yao Shan and the others drew in cool breaths, the hair on the necks standing on ends.

  Those dark beetles were so horrifying! That Elder was a Fifth Order Saint realm expert!

  But, the nightmare had yet to end. When all the flesh was gone, they saw those black beetles starting their little mouths, sucking. Even the Elder’s soul didn't survive, torn into a huge selection of pieces in to the dark beetles’ mouths.

  Yao Shan and all the Deities Templar Elders could no longer hide the terror in their eyes.

  “These… are ancient Poison Corpse Scarabs!!” All of a sudden, Jiang Shi, who was simply attacking Zhao Shu, blurted aloud.

  “Poison Corpse Scarabs!” Gě Gé’s tone of voice trembled.

  Everyone’s faces were ashen.

  “Poison Corpse Scarabs, it’s actually those abhorrent creatures!” A Deities Templar Elder’s legs were shaking, “How can these Poison Corpse Scarabs still exist nowadays? Weren’t they extinct hundred thousand years back?!”

  They had heard of those infamous ghastly insects, Poison Corpse Scarabs.

  Still in shock with the emergence of the Poison Corpse Scarabs, another Elder was bitten and met with a similar end as the first Elder.

  A series of tragic screams rang in the air.

  The impact was too much for Yao Shao and the remaining Elders to accept, nearly pissing in their pants. Now, to them, those little black critters were simply life reaping death gods.

  “Attack their mind, as long as their heads are severed, these Poison Corpse Scarabs will perish! ” Jiang Shi shouted anxiously.

  Hearing Jiang Shi’s words, all the Elders hastily took out their weapons, but very soon they uncovered that the Poison Corpse Scarabs’ defenses far exceeded their imagination. Average weaponry couldn’t even leave a scratch mark on them.

  Divine weapons?

  The number of divine weapons in the Martial Spirit World could be calculated, for these were even scarcer than the amount of Saint realm experts. Even while Deities Templar Elders, Yao Shan, and others did not have any divine or godly weapons in their possession.

  They were petrified. Death and despair spread on the square.

  Ch.372

  In a short span of your time, three Deities Templar Elders had died, eaten by the Poison Corpse Scarabs, even their souls became food in those Poison Corpse Scarabs’ stomachs.

  Things went awry, much beyond Gě Gé, Jiang Shi, Yao Shan, and every Deities Templar Elders’ expectations.

  Don’t mention getting rid of Huwang Xiao, at this moment, Yao Shan and the Elders couldn’t even touch a hair of his. Before those Poison Corpse Scarabs, they had no chance to strike Huwang Xiao in any way.

  Initially, there have been five Deities Templar Elders surrounding Huwang Xiao, however now, with three lifeless, only Yao Shan and another Elder remained. More a
nd more Poison Corpse Scarabs shifted their sights on these two.

  Yao Shan was forced to dodge left and right, he was extremely miserable. What enraged Yao Shan further was Huwang Xiao, who was position at the medial side with the Cutting blades of Asura in his hands, occasionally sending an attack or two in his direction.

  Tempest of Hell!

  Tears of Asura!

  Wrath of the Nether King!

  Asura Sword Skills moves were executed one after another, Huwang Xiao practically treated Yao Shan as target practice. A living focus on practice like Yao Shan, a Sixth Order Saint world expert, was extremely hard to find.

  Huwang Xiao attacked again and again, expanding his insight into the Asura Sword Skills. Ever since he stepped in to the Saint realm, Huwang Xiao spent less time practicing his sword skills, showing these moves again made Huwang Xiao realise that the energy of Asura Sword Skills was more powerful than he imagined.

  Combined with his space law comprehension, every assault included insurmountable Asura qi, the sky converted dark as though hell got over. Cold hellish tempest, tears from the cries of an Asura, the Nether King’s wrath, wails of countless bad spirits from hell.

  As seconds passed, Huwang Xiao entered a selfless state of enlightenment.

  It felt as if he merged with heaven and globe, he himself was the embodiment of hell. From afar, others could only see Huwang Xiao being wholly shrouded in moving dark Asura qi.

  Yao Shan dodged another Poison Corpse Scarab and looked up to the sky. Currently, Huwang Xiao was the embodiment of the Asura in Yao Shan’s eye. Unimaginable dread snaked into his heart, if he understood that Huwang Xiao got an army of Poison Corpse Scarabs under his control, even if someone beat him to loss of life, he wouldn’t have requested the Temple Preceptor’s permission to come to the Luo Tong Kingdom.

  “Elder Gě Gé, we should retreat!” Dodging another Poison Corpse Scarab, Yao Shan shouted, his build transported a hint of whining: “I, really cannot hold on much longer!”
