From the start, Li Ziqi had never thought of ending the battle in a draw because she wanted to win. Hence, in this stalemate situation, she had long since considered what she should do if she encountered her opponent.
"If you had used any other method, it would have been more troublesome for me to decipher it. But you used the Spiritual Communication Technique. Don't you know that my teacher knows the Four Great Spiritual Divine Languages?"
On the surface, Li Ziqi seemed to be listening to Xia Taikang's words and was very angry. But in her heart, she was chanting the Freedom Proof.
When the Qi King stood up, Li Ziqi's right hand also shot out a halo toward the qilin.
The speed of the halo was too fast. Just as Xia Taikang had the thought of dodging, he was struck.
Boom!
The Qilin's body erupted with a light that soared into the sky, so bright that no one could look directly at it.
"Oh no!"
Xia Taikang's heart skipped a beat, because his spiritual connection with the Qilin had been broken. This made him panic, and his instinctive reaction was to kill the culprit.
"Kill her!"
Xia Taikang roared, but the Kirin did not obey. Instead, it violently shook Xia Taikang off its back.
Hu!
Xia Taikang fell to the ground.
Huh?
The onlookers cried out in surprise. What was going on?
Thud!
Grand Tutor Su stood up with an excited expression. "It's the divine language of psychics!"
Bang!
Xia Taikang landed on the stage. Everyone thought that the battle had ended and Li Ziqi was the victor. But at this moment, Xia Taikang was like a cannonball fired by a tank. With a boom, he soared into the sky and shot toward Li Ziqi.
Rumble!
The floor under Xia Taikang's feet was completely crushed by the recoil, countless gravel flying everywhere like bullets.
"Die!"
Xia Taikang let out an explosive bellow and swung his sword to kill the little sunny egg.
Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!
Dozens of Wind Blades shot out, all hitting Xia Taikang's body, but they didn't hurt him at all.
"What?"
Li Xiu was shocked. Why did the Xia Kingdom's Crown Prince's combat power suddenly increase so much?
"Hmm?"
Han Cang Shui raised her eyebrows and revealed a gloating smile. Xia Taikang didn't just increase his combat power, he also increased his cultivation level.
This time around, Li Ziqi was dead for sure.
"Grand Tutor Su, save him!"
King Qi shouted. He could see Xia Taikang's killing intent.
There was no need for Grand Tutor Su to act because Sun Mo teleported and appeared before Li Ziqi. He waved his wooden blade and forcefully received Xia Taikang's slash.
Boom!
The powerful impact caused Sun Mo and Li Ziqi to be sent flying.
Hua!
The crowd was in an uproar.
"Xia Taikang is so strong?"
Xianyu Wei was shocked. Her teacher was at the Longevity Realm, and among those of the same age, he was the number one existence. This Xia Taikang could actually send her teacher flying with a single strike?
Xia Taikang rushed over again. Each of his sword strikes was fatal, wanting to kill Li Ziqi.
This was because psychic spells were very mysterious. Generally speaking, to dispel a psychic spell, the caster had to be killed at the very least.
Sun Mo blocked.
"Great Teacher Sun, you are openly interfering in the sparring. You are insulting the five empires!"
Xia Taikang roared.
"Is it wrong to stop someone who is cheating?"
Sun Mo coldly snorted. "If it was a fair competition, I would close one eye. But you actually want to kill Ziqi? Do you treat me as non-existent?"
"What does Great Teacher Sun mean by this?"
The onlookers whispered among themselves.
"Grand Tutor Su, quickly stop them!"
Qi King urged.
At this moment, some great teachers and knowledgeable cultivators could also tell that something was wrong. This Xia Taikang was too powerful.
"Your Highness Taikang, please stop. If not, I won't be polite anymore!"
As Grand Tutor Su warned, his hand grabbed the air.
Prison World!
Swish!
A semi-transparent sphere compressed toward Xia Taikang from all directions, wrapping him up and pulling him toward the ground.
Rumble!
Xia Taikang's Prison World was actually shattered. This caused Grand Tutor Su to have a look of fear on his face.
"Xia Taikang, what are you doing?"
Qi King was angered.
Xia Taikang had a secret treasure that could allow him to soar. It was just that he didn't use it because he wanted to destroy fairness. Now that he wanted to kill Li Ziqi, he decided to use it.
One could say that if it wasn't for Sun Mo's reaction being fast enough, the little sunny egg would have died.
"This fellow made me break the contract with the kirin. Tell me, should I kill him or not?"
Xia Taikang roared in anger.
"What?"
Qi King blinked. "You are saying that you no longer have a contract with your country's guardian divine beast?"
"Of course!"
Xia Taikang angrily retorted.
"Audacious!"
The guards berated. (Even if you are the crown prince of Xia Country, your actions are too rude.)
Qi King waved his hand. He had a look of wanting to laugh but was too embarrassed to do so.
Xia Country lost its guardian divine beast?
This was simply too praiseworthy. They should hold a banquet and drink for ten days.
This kirin had protected Xia Country for over ten thousand years. When Xia Country was on the verge of destruction, it alone forced back a million enemy troops and protected the country. This was why Xia Country could rise today. If not, it would have been destroyed long ago.
Naturally, a million enemy troops was definitely an exaggeration. However, this kirin had saved Xia Country many times.
Every time Qi King mentioned this kirin, he would feel like dying of greed. But now, the kirin was gone...
(Wait a minute, can I capture this kirin?)
King Qi immediately looked at the divine beast flying in the air, its four hooves on fire, and then at Grand Tutor Su.
Grand Tutor Su also wanted an ancient ferocious beast as a battle pet. However, he knew that the chances weren't high.
"Kirin, re-establish a contract with me!"
Xia Taikang persuaded.
The kirin ignored him and looked at Li Ziqi.
"Li Ziqi."
Xia Taikang roared, "Look at what you have done. You have destroyed the 10,000 years of our Xia Country!"
Everyone saw Xia Taikang's gaze as though he wanted to eat Li Ziqi alive. They could understand his anger. After all, the guardian divine beast was gone.
"Firstly, this is a duel. As long as it's not against the rules, all methods can be used!"
Li Ziqi retorted sarcastically, "You don't know the divine language of spiritual control, yet you are blaming me?"
"You..."
Xia Taikang was almost angered to death. If he knew that Li Ziqi knew such a top-notch incantation, he would rather lose the competition than call out the kirin.
"Grand Tutor Su, is the divine language of spiritual control very powerful?"
The queen asked in a low voice.
"It's not a problem of it being powerful or not. It's just that it's extremely rare. Even a grandmaster spiritual controller wouldn't be able to understand it, let alone reciting it. This thing can only be understood but not conveyed through words."
Grand Tutor Su explained.
"Moreover, the probability of failure is very high. I succeeded this time around mainly because this kirin doesn't want to be your battle pet anymore."
Li Ziqi looked down on Xia Taikang. "Your Xia Clan has let down the kirin, causing it to rebel. What has this got to do with me?"
"Some masters and spiritual beasts are close friends. Even without a spiritual contract, they would fight for each other. Some masters completely rely on the contract to forcibly enslave their spiritual beasts. Hence, the moment there's a chance, the spiritual beasts would definitely rebel!"
Grand Tutor Su explained. At the same time, he felt a little curious. Logically speaking, this kirin was the guardian divine beast of Xia Country. In that case, its relationship with the previous emperors would surely be as close as brothers or father and son. But from the looks of it now, the kirin had borrowed Li Ziqi's divine language of spiritual control to regain its freedom.
"Bullshit, I'll treat it as close..."
Xia Taikang still wanted to say something but was interrupted by a rough voice.
"Shut up, your words will make me feel disgusted!"
The kirin spoke up, speaking in human language.
Hua ~
This melon was so big. The guardian divine beast didn't love Xia Country and was scolding the current emperor. There would be a good show to watch.
Xia Taikang's countenance turned green. He clenched his fists tightly and endured it for a while before he tried his best to maintain his calm. "Return to the palace with me first. No matter what the matter is, we can discuss it."
"Would I still be able to come out after I return?"
The kirin coldly laughed. "You should feel fortunate. If it wasn't for the fact that I'm thinking of Xia Jie's kindness, you would have already been eaten by me."
"Who is Xia Jie?"
Lu Zhiruo's curiosity exploded.
"He's the leader of Xia Country's resurgence, a mighty emperor!"
Qin Yaoguang explained.
"I no longer owe your Xia Clan anything. Not killing you is my final gratitude to Xia Jie. From today onward, we have nothing to do with each other!"
The kirin was in great pain. In order to repay Xia Jie for saving its life, it was willing to sign a contract and become his spiritual beast. The two of them had agreed that when Xia Jie died, the kirin would regain its freedom.
However, Xia Jie looked at his empire and his children and couldn't bear to let the kirin go. In truth, it was precisely because of the kirin that they had managed to safely avoid many crises of annihilation.
After the kirin spoke, it no longer bothered with Xia Taikang. Instead, it looked toward Li Ziqi. After that, its gaze turned to Sun Mo.
Sun Mo smiled, but he was thinking in his heart whether he should toss a Lu Certificate over. If it was effective, wouldn't he have profited greatly?
"Thank you. As a repayment for helping me regain my freedom, I can do three things for you!"
After the kirin spoke, it transformed into a shooting star and flew toward the east.
"Wait a minute..."
Xia Taikang shouted loudly, but it was useless. Hence, he vented all his resentment on the little sunny egg. "Li Ziqi, I want to start a war with the Great Tang Empire. Either you die, or I die!"
"You are too shameless. You basically can't afford to lose!"
Qin Yaoguang scolded loudly, stirring up the emotions of the spectators. Hence, many people started scolding as well. After all, Xia Taikang had really lost his bearing.
"Hmph!"
Xia Taikang didn't care about anyone. He directly called out to the people of the envoy group and prepared to leave. "Let's go!"
"Taikang, Taikang, wait a minute!"
Qi King called out, wanting to be a mediator. However, it was useless.
"Xia Taikang, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Sun Mo spoke.
"Sun Mo, so what if you are the hottest rising star in the Nine Provinces? Today, even if the Saint Gate's Sect Leader comes, the Great Tang Empire and I will not rest until one of us is dead. "
Xia Taikang staked everything on this.
Sect Leader Su Taiqing left after receiving the painting. He didn't have the time to watch the martial battle.
"Don't misunderstand. I don't plan to persuade you to change your mind. I just want to say that before you leave, can you first explain the matter of you cheating?"
Sun Mo smiled and asked.
He originally didn't plan to expose Xia Taikang's scheme, but this fellow insisted on starting a war. This wasn't good because once a war broke out, many people would die.
Hence, he could only let Xia Taikang's reputation be ruined and he should die first.
Xia Taikang's eyes narrowed and he had a sullen look on his face.
"What nonsense are you talking about? What did my crown prince brother cheat? "
"Black Doggy Sun, don't think that you are amazing just because you are a great teacher. Our Grand Xia also has genius great teachers."
"Come out, I want to have a life-and-death battle with you."
The people of Grand Xia immediately started scolding.
The people of Great Tang naturally didn't want to appear weak and all of them started scolding back.
