"What's going on?" Li Xiang glanced at Yue Xingling, as well as Yu Zhitong and Xinyue, who were in her arms. He then glanced at the Azure King, who had an unfriendly expression.
"Big Brother Li Xiang, h-he killed my father!" Yue Xingling slowly landed on the ground and placed the two girls on the ground. She then ran over to the dying man and glared at the Azure King with tears in her eyes.
"Take good care of them for me," Li Xiang said to Ming Xu.
She nodded slightly. Even though she wanted to fight against the top players of the human world, she could only follow Li Xiang's orders.
Clone Ming Xu carried Ye Tong to the battlefield below. With a light sweep of her halberd, a large group of Warriors who tried to approach were decapitated, turning into a bloody mist that dissipated into the air.
"What domineering strength." The beautiful woman couldn't help but whisper as she looked at Ming Xu's clone. Her husband and daughter's attainments in strength were already terrifying, but compared to this beautiful and cold girl before her, it was like comparing a chicken to a human. They weren't even on the same level.
"As long as his soul hasn't completely dissipated, he can be saved. Don't worry." Replica Ming Xu squatted down and checked the man's injuries before saying faintly, "Are all human bodies so weak? What level is his strength in your human circle? "
Yue Xingling and the others recognized Ming Xu's face. They were even more confused when they saw this cold woman using her face to say such strange things.
However, since she was one of them, they temporarily suppressed their doubts. Hearing her say that her father could still be saved, Yue Xingling hurriedly begged her to save him.
Clone Ming Xu pressed her hand against the tall man's chest. A strange aura entered his body and began to rapidly heal his injuries.
This was a wound caused by the Azure King's power. Normal healing magic was completely ineffective, but her strange aura was able to easily dissolve the Azure King's power. Everyone was shocked.
Ye Tong could faintly sense that this power was completely different from the Origin Substance she knew of. It was as if it came from another world.
The tall man spat out several mouthfuls of black blood and gradually regained consciousness. Yue Xingling and her daughter wept with joy. The entire family hugged each other. Seeing this, clone Ming Xu became increasingly confused.
"Thank you, sister!" Yue Xingling wiped away her tears and smiled sweetly at her. "Oh yeah, about your question just now, my father is a level 2 player. Among the human players, he can only be considered a low-level player."
"Level 2 …" Clone Ming Xu had a general understanding of the classification of human players from Li Xiang. Level 2 was indeed very low, but this physical strength was too weak.
She looked up at the sky, her gaze locked onto the Azure King. That human gave her a faint sense of threat. He should be one of the strongest humans.
"What level is that person?" Clone Ming Xu asked as he pointed at the Azure King.
"Level 9," Yue Xingling replied, "and close to the peak of that level."
In the sky, the Azure King looked at Li Xiang with a serious expression. "I've long heard that an incredible figure has appeared in the younger generation. Today, I see that the rumors are true. You've also broken through to level 9."
The Azure King had personally pointed out Li Xiang's true strength, shocking everyone who was secretly observing.
Level 9 was the peak of the Seven Continents. There were quite a few of them, but this was the first time they had seen such a young Level 9 player!
When Li Xiang left the Seven Continents, he was only level 7. After a trip to the Sea of Stars, he did not know if he had successfully explored the Gate of Eternity. However, he was able to jump two realms in just a few years, reaching the highest level, level 9. This made many people restless and had the idea of exploring the Sea of Stars.
However, that was only a fleeting thought. No one dared to put it into action. The higher one's level, the more they understood how terrifying and dangerous the Sea of Stars was. Even a level 9 player might not be able to return safely from the Sea of Stars. Back then, Li Xiang had only been level 7, so no one had thought that he would be able to return alive.
Even though he had created one miracle after another along the way, traveling through the Sea of Stars at level 7 was still too shocking. No one dared to believe it.
However, Li Xiang had returned unscathed, and his strength had even risen to level 9.
"You're very strong, very talented, and very young. However, you're still far from being invincible. Even if you're both at level 9, the difference between us isn't something you can imagine."
The Azure King's long hair was resplendent, and his body flowed with an intimidating power. He gradually adapted to Li Xiang's pressure, and after confirming that Li Xiang was indeed only at level 9, his initial uneasiness gradually dissipated.
As long as he was still at level 9, he was not afraid.
Just as he had said, even though they were both at level 9, there was a world of difference in combat power. The Cursed Puppet Master that Fei Yujing had swallowed back then was the weakest among level 9, while he represented the strongest. There was a huge difference in strength between the two of them.
The ten people surrounding the Moon King were also elites among level 9. Otherwise, with the Cursed Puppet Master's strength, even another dozen wouldn't be able to trap the Moon King, who was about to reach the next level.
"I agree with that. Even though we're both at level 9, the difference in combat power is huge. Sometimes, it's like the difference between the stars and the earth." Li Xiang looked at him and nodded thoughtfully.
"Ha, there's no point in going down the stairs now. Let me see just how strong the so-called number one of the younger generation is." The Azure King stepped forward. His eyes glowed, turning into runes. It was extremely frightening.
His battle intent was released continuously along with the green light. A layer of green armor covered his body. All sorts of green lines extended around him, forming patterns that crisscrossed like a chessboard. It was dazzling.
"Be careful, Li Xiang. That's the Azure King's Green Chess Armor. It's a disaster weapon with both offensive and defensive capabilities," Yue Mei 'er reminded Li Xiang. She was fighting with the ten level 9s in the air.
She knew that this youth was the Yue family's only chance to survive this calamity. She couldn't let him die at the Azure King's hands.
As long as he could stall the Azure King, this new level 9 combatant, then the situation on the battlefield wouldn't change. There was still a chance to salvage the situation.
The Azure King had even taken out his trump card, the Azure King had no intention of letting Li Xiang go. He wanted to kill Bai Lili's only son with his own hands and make her regret not choosing him back then.
Li Xiang held the dark red Eternal Purgatory in his hand. The Azure King's rising aura and expanding domain seemed to have completely suppressed him.
The terrifying aura he'd felt when he'd first appeared was retracting and dispersing. It was as if the victor had already been decided without even fighting.
In his Cyan Domain, most Level-9 players would be restricted, and their powers would be greatly reduced. Furthermore, his opponent looked like he had just broken through to Level-9. He probably hadn't even generated his new job, let alone his mythical creature form.
Boom!
A corner of the sky seemed to have collapsed. A terrifying aura poured out, suppressing everyone on the ground so much that they couldn't even raise their heads.
Ye Tong summoned the Book of Prophecy with great difficulty, wanting to lead everyone out of this battlefield. However, under the Azure Domain, her Book of Prophecy's control was at its lowest. She couldn't teleport so many people at once.
Was this the might of a level 9?
She once again experienced this feeling of helplessness.
The Azure King punched out, his fist turning into countless runes in the air. They seemed to glow with extreme radiance, wanting to pierce through Li Xiang.
"Don't worry, it will be over soon. In the Cyan Territory and with the enhancement of the Green Chess Battle Suit, the power of my punch is enough to pierce through any Level-9 physical body. In just an instant, you will vanish into thin air and your soul will disintegrate. There will be no pain."
"You should be grateful that I'm using such a gentle method to kill you."
The Azure King's face was full of smiles. He didn't feel the slightest bit of resistance after his punch. This meant that either his opponent wasn't using a domain at all, or the difference between their domains was so great that it couldn't affect his movements.
Either way, in a battle of this level, being unable to block the enemy's attack would result in a tragic outcome.
With a loud hum, a blazing light blossomed. A terrifying aura surged out, covering the sky and covering the earth as it attacked Li Xiang.
The Azure King was prepared to kill in one blow. He wanted to intimidate the Yue Clan and show off how different he was.
He needed to know that to reach Level 9 and above, he needed a more famous name, and the name had to be based on battle results. Killing Li Xianghui was his first battle to become famous, and the ten people on the battlefield above him had the same idea.
In the end, the person who took Yue Mei 'er's head, or tamed her into a pet would obtain a brand new title. What better opportunity to become famous than defeating the previous Five Kings, or killing the current number one of the younger generation?
"Indeed, it'll be quick. I'll make sure you die before your soul can separate from your body. There won't be any pain." Li Xiang nodded slightly. Golden light flowed out of his eyes as the faint golden cogwheels spun continuously. The powerful origin energy in his body began to fill the space. He didn't use his domain because the Azure King wasn't worth it.
This was the killing move he'd used to pull his clone Ming Xu back to level 9. There was no need to use it on a mere level 9 human.
The surging origin aura quickly disintegrated the Azure King's Azure Domain. That terrifying power flashed past, but Yue Xingling and the others were so frightened that they prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to move.
This was an instinctive reaction, a sign of respect for a supreme being.
The moment Li Xiang released his origin aura, the Azure King finally sensed that something was wrong. However, his fist had already been launched and couldn't be pulled back. His body was like an arrow released from a bow as he approached Li Xiang step by step, closer and closer to death.
When the power was released in that second, even Yue Mei 'er, who was far above, could clearly feel an unprecedented pressure.
As one of the Five Kings, she was only a small step away from reaching level 9. Yet, she felt like she was being suppressed!
The other ten people paled. That aura was even more terrifying and powerful to them. It wasn't on the same level, but on another level. It made them feel powerless.
Clang!
The Eternal Purgatory, burning with destructive flames, slashed lightly.
Pfft, pfft, pfft!
With a few soft sounds, blood spurted out and heads rolled. The Azure King's fist was the first to turn to dust, followed by his body. Even with the Azure Chess Battle Armor, he couldn't block Li Xiang's sword move.
The battle armor was full of cracks and would shatter at the slightest touch.
The final slash landed on his neck.
Just like what Li Xiang said, it was only a split second. He did not even have time to separate his soul from his body. Just like that, he was beheaded.
Li Xiang didn't give the Azure King a chance to counterattack or escape. With a sweep of his left hand, the Paradise of Annihilation switched to its purifying form. With a blast, a powerful azure pillar of light purified the Azure King's remains into dust. As for that wisp of soul, as long as it wasn't at the Eternal level, there was no way it could block the purifying beam.
The commotion was immediately felt by the people above. Just as they'd said before the battle, the outcome would be decided in an instant.
However, this wasn't the result they wanted. It wasn't what they'd imagined.
The Azure King had been killed.
The Azure King, who was strong enough to match any one of the ten of them, had been killed by Li Xiang in a single blow.
Although his words were full of arrogance and he didn't think Li Xiang could really match up to a veteran Level-9 like him, he had indeed used his greatest trump card, the Azure Chess Battle Armor. At the same time, he'd sent out a punch filled with killing intent. No one present could guarantee that they could take that punch head-on.
But he was still dead.
Even the Azure Chess Battle Armor, hailed as a treasure for both offense and defense, couldn't withstand Li Xiang's sword intent.
The flames of the Eternal Purgatory seemed to come from hell. There was nothing that couldn't be burned by it.
The Azure Chess Battle Armor struggled in the air. After disintegrating from the Azure King's body, it jumped wildly, wanting to leave the battlefield and leave Li Xiang's side. However, it was suppressed by the aura of the Eternal Purgatory and could only struggle in place.
This was one of the highest-grade disaster weapons. Its raw material came from an ancient ruler. The Azure King had relied on it to win every battle, establishing his illustrious reputation among Level-9 experts.
However, the Azure Chess Battle Armor's disadvantage against the Eternal Purgatory and Heaven of Annihilation was obvious. It was incomparably afraid of these two disaster weapons. It wanted to flee frantically, but in the end, it couldn't escape destruction.
"Slash." Li Xiang laughed softly. The Eternal Purgatory slammed down. Sword Qi was invincible, destroying the tattered Azure Chess Battle Armor. It turned into wisps of azure light and fell to the ground.
The disaster weapon had actually been destroyed!
This was yet another thing that shocked everyone.
Generally speaking, even if the wielder died, the Calamity Weapon would still be able to leave undamaged and search for the next wielder. Because of their special materials and strength, the number of Calamity Weapons never decreased. They only changed owners from generation to generation, which was why they were called the strongest weapons and equipment.
The fact that it was immortal and indestructible was already amazing.
However, Li Xiang had shattered this understanding today.
The two disaster weapons in his hands had indeed destroyed the Azure Chess Battle Armor. The Azure Chess Battle Armor's fear when it tried to resist proved that it had already realized its fate. The other party had the strength to do so.
However, it still couldn't escape this fate.
The moment the Azure King died, the other Level-9 experts in the air felt their hearts tremble. The encirclement began to expand, showing signs of retreat.
Li Xiang's combat strength had exceeded their expectations. Once he joined the battle, the situation would be bad.
