Chapter 555: Delay!

“Pu!”

Han Kui in the far distance spewed one mouthful of blood, rendering its Qi useless.

“I must thank you all. If it were not for you, I would have been stuck at Thousand Year King realm third layer. Out of gratitude, I shall grant you death!”

Lu Xi Mu clenched his fists and made a loud growl, sounding like an erupting volcano as his body had visibly grown a few times stronger. Standing there alone was enough to make him look like a murderous beast! At that very moment, powerful energy was gushing through his body like an endless river!

Just standing there was enough to make everyone feel the pressure. Even the surrounding Heaven Earth Lingqi condensed to form a mist.

“Break!”

With one thought, Lu Xi Mu dug up big chunks of high-grade spirit stones from around him. With a grasping motion, astonishing amounts of Ling Qi were released and absorbed into his body.

“Darn it, who would have thought Lu Xi Mu would break through at this time. Like this, Pan Yun Fei’s death would no longer mean a loss to Qing Zhou Chamber of Commerce.”

“Wow, breaking through in a battle! Looks like this bunch of people won’t be able to accomplish much.”

“Yes, Sir has broken through!”

“Thinking you can do whatever just because you have a few Thousand Year realm Demonic Beasts? Prepare to pay for challenging us, the Qing Zhou Chamber of Commerce!”

The surrounding cultivators discussed fervently. People of the Qing Zhou Chamber of Commerce were naturally happy as the breakthrough was a form of assurance for their victory.

After all, in everyone’s eyes, two of Bei Feng’s Thousand Year King realm Demonic Beasts had already lost fighting power. Even the gangster rabbit could not possibly be completely unharmed after battling Pan Yun Fei.

As Lu Xi Mu broke through, he not only recovered, but had improved by a great deal!

Cultivators who had unkind intentions, on the other hand, were greatly disappointed. They knew they could no longer benefit from the fight after Lu Xi Mu had broken through.

In the corner of the Heaven Connecting Tower’s world, a thousand year king realm cultivator could be deemed extremely powerful. Other than the army and local demonic beasts, few could defeat Lu Xi Mu.

Conversely, Bei Feng and gang were viewed as mere Hundred Year realm cultivators, who would stand no chance against Yan Bai.

As vast amounts of Ling Qi entered Lu Xi Mu’s body, his burnt skin started to heal.

“Ji-ji!”

Without giving much thought to it, gangster rabbit Gu Qi charged at Lu Xi Mu!

“Heaven Splitting Punch!”

Lu Xi Mu executed a punching move, which shot out out three fist imprints, encircling the gangster rabbit and blocking its escape paths!

“Squeak!”

The gangster rabbit lifted up its paws and swung them at Lu Xi Mu!

“Pu-chi!”

“AH!”

Countless sword marks appeared on Lu Xi Mu’s body, causing him to cry out in pain!

Initially, breaking through felt like a taking a dip in the hot springs, but the feeling had turned to dipping in burning lava!

“Die! I want you to die!”

Lu Xi Mu’s Qi started to travel in all directions inside his body. Suffering just one blow, his breakthrough level dropped considerably!

Eyes burning with hatred, Lu Xi Mu could not wait to devour Gangster rabbit’s meat and drink its blood! Killing Pan Yun Fei was enraging enough, but it could not compare to what it had done to him!

Spoiling one’s fortune was equivalent to killing one’s parents, and blocking one’s path would be starting a feud!

Though it was possible to break through Thousand Year King realm fourth layer again, it was impossible to know when it would occur. It might even take another three or five years!

“Ji-ji!”

“Dang!”

The gangster rabbit growled in pain as it had just taken the attack head on. The blood-red clock vibrated fiercely before cracking open, exposing a blood-spewing gangster rabbit inside.

The gangster rabbit, too, did not expect Lu Xi Mu’s Qi to be disturbed so easily, causing him to become badly injured even after having a successful breakthrough!

As though losing his mind, frayed hair Lu Xi Mu started to execute all sorts of moves aimed at the gangster rabbit!

Weaker than before the breakthrough, Lu Xi Mu gathered all his might to fight the gangster rabbit, ready to perish together if necessary.

“Amazing beasts. What about you guys?” Xie Shi San said, standing at the same place he stood earlier on, not having made a single move. The terrifying waves of energy dispersed into light breeze whenever they came near him.

The amazed Xie Shi San wanted to see what amazing capabilities Bei Feng and the two others had.

Xie Shi San wanted Bei Feng and the gang to defeat Yan Bai so that he could get the high-grade spirit stones without a fight.

“I have to admit that you guys are the most talented cultivators I have seen. Not yet reaching thousand year king realm, and you still survived so many of my attacks,” Yan Bai said with a serious face, his eyes undeniably showing slight admiration.

It was exactly because of their talent that Yan Bai became determined to kill them. If Bei Feng and the gang reached Thousand Year King realm, they would be a great threat to him!

Bei Feng and the others were not in good condition. Bei Feng was bleeding and hurt in the arm.

Lu Bu and Lu Bing were no better, one with deep cuts in the chest, and another bleeding through the shirt.

Lu Bing’s sword was also cut into half.

“Kill! Heavenly Laws Embodiment Technique!”

Bei Feng’s blood Qi began to rattle, which hurt his internal organs. Eyes gleaming, he let out a roar as he began to transform into a six zhang tall giant, tearing his shirt apart and beaming with powerful Qi!

The show was not over yet! A black shadow appeared behind Bei Feng, staring at everyone with a pair of creepy eyes.

“Calamity Curse!” Bei Feng pointed at Yan Bai, and a wave of eerie Qi shrouded Yan Bai!

“Eh?” Yan Bai felt tense when the black shadow appeared as the darkness it brought was unsettling. He even prepared to fight when Bei Feng pointed at him. Unexpectedly, nothing much happened to him except feeling some discomfort.

“Deities In Disguise!”

Yan Bai felt embarrassed for overestimating Bei Feng’s move earlier, and so he charged at Bei Feng with a whip!

The green whip had many small scales and a sharp knife at the tip.

“Distorted Moon!”

Lu Bu pressed on a few acupuncture spots on his body and spat out some remnant blood!

A crescent moon then loomed above Lu Bu’s head, emitting cold light. The land within 500 meters’ radius immediately froze as a thick layer of ice formed above the ground.

“Charge forward, fearless of death!”

A gust of intense Qi enshrouded Lu Bing’s body completely, making it hard for one to differentiate his body from the cloud of Qi.

“Heavenly Dragon! Sky and Earth attack!”

Yan Bai also gathered his strength, and transformed his whip into a green dragon which charged at his opponents.

“Bang!”

Four energy attacks collided, igniting an explosion which destroyed the ground around them!

“Pu!”

Three shadows could be seen flying backwards before landing harshly on the ground.

“Ta, ta!”

Yan Bai took ten steps backwards, and stared at his weapon in disbelief.

“What? These three are not yet down!”

“It is indeed true. Maybe Yan Bai is just playing with them.”

The loud commotion had attracted the attention of most cultivators away from the battle between Lu Xi Mu and gangster rabbit. Bei Feng and the gang left everyone speechless with how they remained alive after being attacked like that.

“No, I have been paying attention to this battle the whole time. Although Yan Bai did fool around with them in the beginning, I can tell that he was serious with the last few moves,” one onlooking cultivator said in amazement. He wondered where these three men came from, and why they were so strong despite being at Hundred Year realm level. Even cultivators of the same level would die instantly when facing them!

The thought baffled him greatly as he wondered if he had incorrectly attained his Hundred Year realm level!

“But how is this possible… The opponent is none other Yan Bai!”

Looking at the shattered ground, everyone knew Yan Bai had given his all, but just could not believe the result…

“Hou!” Lu Bu howled like a dragon, and the blood Qi inside him started to rumble, transforming into a huge dragon before charging towards the neck of Yan Bai!

Pockets of Qi floated around his body, making him look like a thousand year king at one moment, and like a hundred year realm second layer cultivator at the other.

“Yan Bai! Just what are you doing?! Quickly kill these people, quit playing around!”

A loud voice echoed. It turned out to be Lu Xi Mu, who felt Yan Bai was being an idiot for not killing Bei Feng and the gang earlier as killing them would have prevented the death of Pan Yun Fei and his failed breakthrough!

“Want to break through as though I am not here?!”

Yan Bai’s face turned dark as he heard Lu Xi Mu’s words. Was it alright to tell everyone that he was not playing around, and that he really could not defeat those three? As Lu Bu’s Qi fluctuated, he felt more insulted. How could Lu Xi Mu think of breaking through while he was struggling to fend off these three guys?!

“Let’s buy time for Lu Bu!” Bei Feng said to Lu Bing before aiming his palm at Yan Bai.

Blood flowing out of his mouth, unbothered by a severed arm, Bei Feng charged at Yan Bai with his sword!
