Sensing the powerful force erupting from Xia Duoduo, Li Sheng’s expression changed drastically. He dared not be careless and hurriedly mobilized the battle qi within his body.
Suddenly, the surrounding space began to distort. A Rune Inscription quickly condensed before him, and he unleashed a ferocious palm strike!
BOOM—!!
A deafening sound erupted, seeming to burst the eardrums of everyone present.
The two forces collided fiercely, sending terrifying energy ripples sweeping endlessly outward!
Witnessing this, the disciples of both the Sword Ancestor and the Martial Sect instinctively retreated, terrified of being caught in the blast.
"Ah!!!"
Immediately after, a scream echoed from the air. A figure plummeted from the sky and crashed heavily into the ground.
BANG!
A cloud of dust billowed out, making it difficult for the onlookers to see who had fallen. Looking up, they saw Xia Duoduo floating in the air.
Everyone’s hearts trembled violently. This woman is completely unharmed... That means the one who crashed into the ground must be Li Sheng! He was defeated by her?! But he’s an expert at the First Layer of the Warlord Realm! She didn’t just defeat him, she came out of it without a scratch. Just how terrifyingly powerful is she?
Such thoughts surfaced in everyone’s mind, and their fear of Xia Duoduo intensified.
When the dust settled, Li Sheng was revealed lying on the ground, his clothes in tatters. He lay in the center of a deep pit his body had carved into the earth. His face was covered in dust, obscuring his deathly pale complexion. His body was a mess of wounds and blood. He looked utterly wretched!
"No..."
Feeling the searing pain from his wounds and seeing his own miserable state, Li Sheng shook his head incessantly, unable to believe what had happened.
"I can’t be defeated!"
"Impossible!"
Li Sheng’s heart filled with bitter defiance. He tried to push himself up, but the agonizing pain contorted his features and his body refused to obey.
Xia Duoduo teleported before him, looking down from above. Murderous intent blazed in her eyes.
Li Sheng trembled, his back soaked in a cold sweat.
He swallowed hard and asked, "I have no grudge against you. Why did you attack me?"
"Who are you?"
Xia Duoduo spoke slowly, "I told you. You will pay the price for what you’ve done."
"Pay the price?"
Li Sheng forced himself to calm down, his voice turning cold. "I’m warning you, don’t do anything reckless. I’m backed by the World King Palace!"
"If you dare to touch me, the World King Palace will hunt you to the ends of the earth and make you pay a hundred times over!"
"The World King Palace? I’ve never paid it any mind."
Xia Duoduo’s expression was placid as power gathered in her palm. She brought it crashing down on Li Sheng’s head!
"No, don’t—"
Terrified, Li Sheng frantically began to beg for mercy, but before he could finish, his head burst open like a smashed melon!
Blood splattered everywhere.
His headless body crumpled to the ground.
He never imagined, not even in his final moment, that he would die in such a way.
Everyone was stunned into a dead silence. You could hear a pin drop.
A wave of terror washed over everyone present as they stared at Li Sheng’s headless corpse. That was someone from the World King Palace, and she killed him just like that? If the Palace investigates this, things are going to get very troublesome.
"You wretched woman!" a member of the World King Palace, the first to snap out of his stupor, roared as he glared furiously at Xia Duoduo. "You dare to lay a hand on one of our own?"
The expressions of the other members from the World King Palace darkened as well. The World King Palace governed the entire Mysterious Heavenly Realm, an existence no one dared to provoke. Yet now, Li Sheng had been killed in public, which was undeniably a slap in the face to the World King Palace. If we don’t settle this debt, and word gets out, won’t the great World King Palace become a laughingstock?
"Noisy," Xia Duoduo’s voice was laced with killing intent. "Since you all want to die, I’ll grant your wish."
As soon as the words left her mouth, she unleashed another palm strike.
A crimson Palm Shadow, radiating horrifying power, surged toward the few members of the World King Palace.
Seeing this, the faces of the World King Palace members changed drastically. They scrambled to defend against Xia Duoduo’s attack.
HUMMM!!!
The space around them suddenly distorted.
These men were only at the Ninth Level of the War King Realm. Faced with Xia Duoduo’s mighty attack, they had no power to resist whatsoever.
SPLAT! SPLAT! SPLAT!
The air filled with the stench of blood.
Like kites with their strings cut, the World King Palace members were flung backward in unison, crashing heavily to the ground, all dead on impact.
The crowd gasped in unison, shocked by the scene. Is she trying to kill them all? Where in the world did a woman with such deadly skills come from?
Only Long Chen shook his head and smiled. The moment Xia Duoduo appeared, she had resolved the entire predicament in one fell swoop.
In the end, it all comes down to strength.
