Chapter 436: 436 – Fight Hard
The strength and speed were so daunting that Jiang Xiaobai didn’t even have time to react before he was sent flying.
Bang!
Crashing fiercely onto the ground, Jiang Xiaobai spat out a mouthful of blood. He managed to barely stand up by leaning on the hilt of his sword, Yuanhong, which was stuck into the ground.
Just a little bit more!
If only Yuanhong had been a bit faster, it could have slashed directly across GuBei’s throat, causing him to perish completely.
Unfortunately, Jiang Xiaobai’s speed was no match for the Tribulation Crossing master, and the distance between them was only a few steps. At such close range, Jiang Xiaobai was completely unable to dodge the attack.
The shocked audience had been captivated by Jiang Xiaobai’s words earlier.
Did he actually dare to criticize the Hall of War Gods and completely ignore their words?
You’ve got to be kidding. The Hall of War Gods had once wiped out a powerful entity in the East Domain. Had Jiang Xiaobai lost his mind?
Ao Cheng, Zhuang Huanling, and others were also shocked, but they clenched their fists harder than ever. Comparing Jiang Xiaobai’s words to their situation, they were more concerned about their failure to kill GuBei.
These past few days, they had been relentlessly pursued by the Gu Clan, barely escaping death countless times. If they could kill GuBei, it would deal a massive blow to the Gu Clan and cause them substantial damage!
In the crowd, Xu Lingyu’s face was icy cold.
Narrowing her eyes slightly, she looked at Jiang Xiaobai: “Don’t be ungrateful. What do your grievances with the Gu Clan have to do with me? I’m just here to take you back with me.”
“Whether you want to refuse or agree, it’s not up to you.”
“Jiang Xiaobai, don’t think too highly of yourself just because you’ve achieved a little something. In my eyes, you’re nothing but trash that I can crush with one hand.”
“I’ll say this only once. Right now, either come with me willingly, or I’ll drag you along.”
Xu Lingyu spoke coldly, her attitude harsh, treating him like a pet to be ordered around.
Not only Jiang Xiaobai, but also Ao Cheng and Anran found this hard to bear.
“Miss Zhuang, who is this woman? She’s getting too arrogant, isn’t she?” Anran frowned, grinding his teeth.
“Haha, you and the An family are no match for her. Even the powerful Hai Xianzong isn’t someone she’d bother to consider,” Zhuang Huanling said scornfully, glancing at Anran. Hearing her words, Anran immediately felt deflated.
Well, I guess I’ll just leave it to Jiang Xiaobai. I can’t handle this.
Are you kidding me? He can’t afford to provoke such a powerful existence.
At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai, who was in a sorry state, suddenly seemed to be engulfed by the will to fight. His face was ferocious, and his eyes were blood-red.
“So, the Hall of War Gods is just as unreasonable and overbearing?”
“Just because you’re a bit more powerful, you can do whatever you want? Are you trying to get me to join the Hall of War Gods and then give me some handouts so I’ll be grateful?”
“Let me tell you, I won’t join, no matter what youy do!”
Jiang Xiaobai roared in anger, raising his hand and launching an attack toward Xu Lingyu.
Nine Revolutions Skill Fourth Level, Activate!
Nine Heavens Starlight Swordsmanship Second Level!
Fully powered Yuanhong, Activate!
Blood Essence, Burn!
Spiritual power, Go All Out!
This stroke was Jiang Xiaobai’s strongest one so far, and there was none to match. The terrifying might could even harm those in the Tribulation Period!
However, facing this stroke, Xu Lingyu’s face remained expressionless. With a casual swipe of her palm, she smashed the brilliant sword energy, which couldn’t even get close.
This scene shocked everyone present, showing them the real strength of the Hall of War Gods and what a monstrous genius truly looked like!
Are all the disciples of the Hall of War Gods so strong?
Known that they couldn’t possibly withstand Jiang Xiaobai’s sword just now without getting wounded.
“Is that all?”
Xu Lingyu mocked with a smirk: “Your so-called strength is nothing more than a three-year-old child playing with knives and guns in my eyes. You’re just a piece of trash. Your gap with me is wider than you could ever understand.”
Jiang Xiaobai fell silent.
Was their gap really that wide?
Although he had only just begun the Soul Division phase and hadn’t even fully sculpted his divine spirit, he could now compete against those in the early and even middle stages of Fusion.
Even if he was weaker, he should at least stand a chance against Xu Lingyu.
So why was it that his sword strike was so easily neutralized by Xu Lingyu?
Staring at his own hands, Jiang Xiaobai fell silent. He knew this had to be a problem of their realms.
Why did he always encounter such desperate situations?
Is it that no matter how much effort he puts in, he can’t fight back?
Even giving his all, he couldn’t even touch the hem of her clothes?
Why?!
Just because he’s been cultivating for a shorter period, he has weaker strength, and he must be humiliated by others?
In his heart, clusters of rage merged into a sky of seething flames, on the verge of explosion.
“Congratulations, Host. You have triggered a choice.”
“Choice One: Accept your fate, follow Xu Lingyu, and receive the reward: Sword Heart.”
“Choice Two: Reject Xu Lingyu again, and receive a reward of Fifty Reputation Points, a Fairy Stone, and a direct rise to the next minor level.”
“Choice Three: Rise and fight back, no matter the cost, cause harm to Xu Lingyu. Reward: A Strand of Merit, a thread of Law power, Three Hundred Thousand Reputation Points, Ten Fairy Stones, and a one-time comprehension of the second layer of Nine Heavens Starlight Swordsmanship.”
“Reminder: Choice Three carries risks. Please proceed with caution, Host. Do not take risks for the sake of rewards.”
“Another reminder: If the Host completes Choice Three within three minutes, the rewards will be doubled!”
Boom!
The sudden appearance of the system voice made Jiang Xiaobai’s heart explode.
Reward?
Benefits?
No, what he needs now is not that. What he wants is valor, dignity, and integrity!
When those people used to humiliate him, almost all of them ended up slaughtered by him.
If he just didn’t fight back because Xu Lingyu was stronger, then was he worthy of living in this world where the weak were prey to the strong?
From the beginning till now, from being weak to the present, Jiang Xiaobai has never given up on any struggle!
When he knew he was going to marry Ao Yan, he didn’t give up the struggle; when he knew the Gu Clan was coming to break up the wedding, he didn’t give up the struggle; when he knew he was no match for the Gu Clan and Hai Xianzong, he didn’t give up the struggle!
Now, it’s even more unlikely!
“System, you damn well better mean what you said!”
“I choose three!”
“I’ll show you what it means to have the courage of a man. She’s just a bit stronger than me, is that it? I’ll tell you, having a powerful backing doesn’t necessarily mean anything!”
Jiang Xiaobai suddenly roared, his veins bulging, pushing off the ground hard, his body rushing towards Xu Lingyu like a bolt of lightning.
At this moment he wanted to prove that he was not a piece of trash.
No matter who you are, if you dare to stand in my way, I’ll show no mercy!
Kill, kill, kill, just kill them all!!
