417: Chapter 417 A Single Strike to Deter

"What's the misunderstanding?"

Dongfang Baichen said, "I'm just a spectator on this trip to Azure Dragon Island."

"A spectator?"

Everyone was puzzled. It was common knowledge that Daxia was going to take action against Azure Dragon Island. Especially in the past two months, having the various Families fetch their younger generations from Azure Dragon Island was almost like spelling it out for everyone.

But now Dongfang Baichen was saying he had only come to Azure Dragon Island as a spectator.

If they didn't know Dongfang Baichen's character, they would really think he was lying to them.

At this moment.

Xiao Weiqing spoke, "You haven't forgotten, have you? I told you, I would definitely return."

The Azure Dragon Divine Envoy remained expressionless and did not respond.

"Kid, you..."

"Bang!"

Xiao Weiqing's figure flashed, and he sent the speaker flying hundreds of meters away with a single punch.

"Noisy!"

"Cough... cough..."

"Old Qin..."

"You brat, how dare you strike!"

Xiao Weiqing's gaze was cold. Ignoring the others, he remained locked onto the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy.

"Coming here today is a private matter between me and the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy. Those who don't want trouble, please leave."

"If you stay here..."

"Life or death will be of no consequence!"

The cold voice spread throughout the space.

A powerful Aura erupted from Xiao Weiqing's body. His Killing Intent seemed to freeze the air, making it difficult for some people to breathe.

"How is this possible!"

"Who is this kid?"

"How can he have such strength?"

The Eighth Realm Experts in the front row couldn't help but tense up. Xiao Weiqing's Killing Intent was locked onto the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy, with only the aftershocks reaching them.

Even so, it still left them terrified, not daring to make a move.

Soon.

Some Powerhouses reacted. How many years had it been since they were scolded like this by a wet-behind-the-ears brat?

"Boom! Boom!"

Powerhouses in the first row erupted with internal energy to resist Xiao Weiqing's Killing Intent.

The others also snapped out of it, releasing powerful Auras to go head-to-head with Xiao Weiqing.

There were only four people on the opposite side. So what if Dongfang Baichen was there? There were more than four hundred of them.

However.

There were also cautious individuals who quickly left the group and departed.

And many more people left than expected.

Once one left, others followed. One after another, nearly three hundred people departed.

What a joke.

If no one fought, fine, but if things really came to blows, who the hell would risk their life for this?

The situation on the field changed in an instant.

Only seventy or eighty people remained behind the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy. These were mostly loners and desperadoes who wanted to get a piece of the pie from the Divine Temple. Some even planned to fish in troubled waters, waiting for the Divine Temple and the four people in front of them to fight to the death so they could reap the benefits.

The Azure Dragon Divine Envoy looked at the three hundred departing people. Even he couldn't help but feel a bit unstable. Each and every one of them was indeed unreliable.

Although he was mentally prepared and wouldn't truly pin his hopes on these people.

But...

These people had turned their backs far too quickly.

"Leave now, and I will not pursue the matter of your trespassing on Azure Dragon Island,"

the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy shouted.

Xiao Weiqing sneered.

"Azure Dragon Divine Envoy, when I had my Second Awakening, you ambushed me, intending to kill me. I said then that I would definitely return."

"Do you think I would just leave like this?"

"It's not impossible to make me leave, as long as you agree to one condition."

The Azure Dragon Divine Envoy fell silent.

"Tell me."

"Hehe... hand over your dog head!"

After saying that.

A trace of mockery appeared at the corner of Xiao Weiqing's mouth, and he vanished from the spot.

"What?"

"He disappeared?"

Suddenly.

Bathed in flames, Xiao Weiqing appeared, holding a fire blade high and slashing down fiercely at the front.

"Slash!"

The angry shout echoed through the world.

The Azure Dragon Divine Envoy's pupils constricted. Reacting quickly, he extended his porcelain-white, baby-like hands from his sleeves and pushed gently forward.

He deployed an energy shield dozens of meters in diameter.

As the energy shield formed, the strike arrived.

"Rumble!"

Like a meteorite crashing into the earth.

A terrifying shockwave spread outward, accompanied by a massive sonic boom, knocking back the entire energy shield, the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy, and the various Powerhouses.

Dongfang Baichen, Xie Zhiyuan, and Palace Master Palace Master Yun Shu quickly retreated.

"Has this kid's strength already reached this level?"

Xie Zhiyuan was shocked. This speed and power alone had already surpassed him. Yet, Xiao Weiqing had clearly just finished Constructing a Divine Body and had entered the Eighth Realm less than a month ago.

While everyone was in shock.

Xiao Weiqing's figure flashed again, appearing above the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy.

"Vast Manifestation, strike again!"

In that instant.

An Aura of destruction descended from above. The powerful pressure made everyone feel chest tightness; their blood flowed slowly, and their hearts skipped a beat.

Everyone stared stiffly at that fire blade.

No.

It was a volcano.

A volcano that had slumbered for ten thousand years and was about to erupt, collapsing toward them.

At this moment.

They were in such despair; they wanted to flee but couldn't move their feet.

A hint of fear flashed in the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy's eyes, which lacked Life Qi, but he did not sit waiting for death.

"Rise!"

Immediately.

Layer after layer of energy shields appeared. When the fifth layer condensed, the terrifying power finally erupted.

Like a stone breaking through bubbles.

With just one strike.

The scorching fire blade completely shattered all the energy shields and sent the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy flying hundreds of meters.

Even those behind the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy were blown away.

They were scattered in disorder, finding it difficult even to stabilize their flight.

"Cough..."

"Damn it."

"Run! Run fast!"

"This is a devil..."

Dozens of Eighth Realm Experts, including many at the Eighth Realm Peak, were frightened out of their wits by this strike and no longer dared to stay.

They would die.

They would definitely die.

Even the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy couldn't block it; the Divine Temple was finished.

At this moment, they no longer thought about Innate Skills or Cultivation Techniques. What use were those if their lives were gone?

The Powerhouses didn't look back, only wishing they had more legs. Why were they running so slowly?

"Hmph."

The Azure Dragon Divine Envoy extended a finger, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and stared fixedly at Xiao Weiqing.

"What have you experienced during this time?"

Xiao Weiqing gave a savage grin.

"Guess!"

Before his voice faded.

Xiao Weiqing used his Movement Technique again and vanished.

The Azure Dragon Divine Envoy did not face the attack head-on. The moment Xiao Weiqing vanished, he turned and flew toward the Divine Temple.

"Slash!"

Looking at the back of the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy below, Xiao Weiqing swung his blade without hesitation.

Just as Xiao Weiqing thought he had succeeded, the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy's figure strangely vanished and reappeared fifty meters away.

"Hmm?"

Xiao Weiqing frowned, puzzled, not understanding how the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy had done it.

There was no time to overthink.

With a thought, Xiao Weiqing's figure continued to descend, sweeping toward the Divine Temple.

"Where do you think you're going!!"

"Fire Owl!"

Scorching flames condensed in his hand and were quickly pushed out. A violent pillar of fire pointed directly at the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy's path.

Unexpectedly.

The Azure Dragon Divine Envoy's figure seemed to fast-forward again, passing through the flames and appearing at the Divine Temple's entrance.

Seeing that the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy was about to hide in the Divine Temple, Xiao Weiqing threw ten thousand calamities like a flying dagger, aiming straight for him.

As soon as ten thousand calamities left his hand, it arrived behind the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy.

Just then.

"Ding!"

With a soft sound, ten thousand calamities flew backward and returned to Xiao Weiqing's hand.
