Chapter 68

Suddenly, the golden lightning that cut in was none other than Xiao Sheng.

As a prince of the Great Hao, Xiao Sheng instinctively detested any attempt to split the Great Hao. Moreover, Xiao Sheng had already discussed with the female strategist Yu Xuange to seek the Eastern Wasteland as his fief, where he planned to develop his own power. Now, with the sudden appearance of the so-called Son of the Eastern Wasteland, who intended to lay claim to what Xiao Sheng had already planned to take, how could Xiao Sheng tolerate it?

The situation was now very clear. Among the five dukes of the Eastern Wasteland, Niu Lao was already dead. Huangfu Yu and Sima Tianxia were both like reeds in the wind, swaying whichever way the wind blew. First Duke Jiuben was a fervent separatist. Only Wen Dahai firmly opposed secession.

Therefore, if Wen Dahai were killed, the Son of the Eastern Wasteland could smoothly integrate the Eastern Wasteland forces and further push for secession. In such a situation, Xiao Sheng had to take action.

However, the true strength of the Son of the Eastern Wasteland was still unknown. With Qian Dou Wuzhen assisting him, rashly engaging in a life-or-death battle with the Son of the Eastern Wasteland was definitely not a wise choice. Therefore, from the beginning, Xiao Sheng's goal was only to save someone. His attack and clash with the Son of the Eastern Wasteland were both to test the other's strength and to use the momentum to escape.

"Golden Wave Walk — Moon Step"

Xiao Sheng carried the unconscious Wen Dahai and rapidly flew through the night sky of Luoyang City. Wen Dahai's injuries were very severe, with his intestines spilling out. Although Xiao Sheng had already used "Life Wave Walk" to stimulate his life potential and allow his body to instinctively heal itself, it was clearly impossible to rely on this method to restore him to his pre-injury state. Therefore, Xiao Sheng had to take Wen Dahai to the Guose Tower, where the female strategist Yu Xuange could save him.

However, before that, he first had to shake off the pursuers. He absolutely could not let anyone know that the first courtesan of Luoyang at the Guose Tower was related to him.

In a flash, a figure trailed by red and yellow lightning streaked through the sky, quickly catching up to Xiao Sheng. In the blink of an eye, it was already alongside him, not a bit behind.

It was Jiuben! Who could have imagined that the man who had groveled before the Son of the Eastern Wasteland, almost wagging his tail, would possess such extraordinary strength?

A cold laugh, condensed into a mental imprint, struck Xiao Sheng's mind. At the same time, Jiuben clenched his fists, shouted fiercely, and unleashed a barrage of punches. In the blink of an eye, he had already delivered over a hundred punches. Sparkling stars danced and scattered, the remnants of his fists breaking through the air.

In terms of destructive power, Jiuben might not match the Son of the Eastern Wasteland. But in terms of speed, he was definitely faster, much faster. Even faster than sound! Faster than the speed limit that a Master could reach. So this attack was called...

"Starlight Limit Break"!

Faced with Jiuben's sudden burst of ultra-high speed, Xiao Sheng could not react in time. He made a quick decision, immediately shouting and activating "Armed Wave Walk — Steel".

With a thought, a metallic sheen covered Xiao Sheng's entire body, forming the most solid defense. "Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang~" A series of metallic clashes resounded, deafening and painful to the ears.

The golden light and the red and yellow lightning simultaneously disappeared. Both sides were jolted, breaking out of their high-speed movement and revealing their normal forms. But the massive inertia still pushed them to slide on the ground, continuing to move forward for several dozen feet before finally stopping.

The sound of water drifted into Xiao Sheng's ears. He calmed down and looked around, realizing he was already on the Tianjin Bridge. This wide stone bridge, capable of accommodating ten carriages side by side, spanned the Luo River and was part of the Qinglong Street that ran through the north and south of Luoyang City. After crossing the Tianjin Bridge, the Guose Tower was not far away.

The Tianjin Bridge was a major traffic artery, far from residential areas. More importantly, it was spacious and flat, suitable for a battlefield without causing greater disturbances. Xiao Sheng's mind was set, and he immediately put Wen Dahai down, rubbing his wrist—carrying a 300-pound fat man at such high speed while ensuring his safety was no small burden on his wrists.

"Hmph, so it's you. The deposed prince Xiao Sheng."

Jiuben didn't care where they were. He walked over with a cold snort and said indifferently, "To dare suggest to the Empress of the Great Hao to participate in the martial arts competition for the pearl, you indeed have some skills. But it ends here. Deposed prince, I give you two choices. Either swear allegiance to the Son of the Eastern Wasteland, or commit suicide immediately. You have no third option."

Xiao Sheng smiled and said, "Jiuben, I also give you two choices. First, immediately expose the Son of the Eastern Wasteland to the court, reveal all his plots, and atone for your sins. Second, well, I doubt you would commit suicide, so I'll help you by killing you."

"Stubborn fool! Since you're like this, don't blame me for showing no mercy. Hmph, what Great Hao prince? A lowly and despicable Zhonghuan person, go to hell! Starlight — Limit Break!"

Jiuben's face darkened, and he shouted fiercely. His arms suddenly disappeared, replaced by starlight! Brilliant starlight burst from Jiuben's shoulders, forming a boundless, surging river of starlight that roared and surged toward Xiao Sheng.

Exceeding the speed and power limits of a Master, Jiuben's strength had reached the Great Master realm. At this moment, each punch from Jiuben's fists possessed a formidable 64-ton force. Moreover, when these countless punches combined into a river of starlight, the destructive power was more than twice, even three times, that of a single punch! Once the target was engulfed in the river of starlight, it would be immediately devoured, crushed, and annihilated!

Although he insulted Xiao Sheng with every word, even despising him from the bottom of his heart, Jiuben would never truly regard Xiao Sheng as a weakling who could be crushed at will. Therefore, from the start, he had used his full strength, unleashing his most powerful force without reservation.

This could not be Jiuben's normal state. If he had truly reached the Great Master realm, he would not have revered the Son of the Eastern Wasteland, who was also a Great Master, as a deity and willingly submitted to him.

Xiao Sheng was 100% certain that Jiuben had concentrated his strength and then unleashed it in one burst. At most, he could maintain this state for a very short time. However, during this short period, Jiuben's combat power could rival that of a true Great Master.

However... who said that only Jiuben knew how to use secret techniques to enhance his strength?

In the blink of an eye, sixty moments passed, and in each moment, nine hundred transformations occurred. Faced with the surging river of starlight, Xiao Sheng smiled and lightly shouted, "Transform!"

As he spoke, golden light flickered. The Phoenix Belt appeared, automatically wrapping around Xiao Sheng's waist. Then, the engraving on the belt buckle projected into the air, forming a giant phoenix illusion that let out a long cry. Before the phoenix's cry had faded, the phoenix illusion suddenly folded its wings and pounced at Xiao Sheng!

Ten thousand feet of golden light erupted into the sky! The Golden Knight Phoenix Fang reappeared in the world.

The moment the Golden Knight's armor was equipped, the river of starlight also surged forward. The distance between them was less than ten feet. However, at this critical moment, the Golden Knight suddenly turned, exposing his back to the enemy's punch!

The distance between them was three steps. The Golden Knight raised his right hand, pointing to the night sky, and solemnly declared, "Three."

Another strange change occurred, and Jiuben was stunned, completely unable to understand what the deposed prince was doing.

Ignoring Jiuben, the Golden Knight continued on his own, uttering the second word since his transformation: "Two."

In an instant, Jiuben's martial arts practitioner instinct sensed a hint of danger. Unfortunately, there was no turning back. At this point, it was impossible to change his move. Moreover, he firmly believed that his "Starlight Limit Break — Endless River," which compressed all his strength, was invincible and could break through any trap!

Embracing absolute confidence, Jiuben not only did not retreat but also poured in his last bit of strength. The river of starlight surged even more, and its destructive power skyrocketed. The cost was that, regardless of success or failure, this attack would cost Jiuben at least ten years of his life!

The distance between them was now just one step. The Golden Knight's voice carried a hint of a smile as he declared, "One!"

As the words left his mouth, the Golden Knight turned with lightning speed and kicked out with his right leg, sweeping horizontally. It was the "Golden Wave Walk — Chaos Thunder Splendor."

One strike, stunning the ages!

One strike, subduing the land!

One strike, causing the sun to fall and the stars to sink!

Just one strike! The surging river of starlight, which had been so formidable, was instantly shattered, scattered, and completely defeated. The killing move that Jiuben had used to dominate the Eastern Wasteland and believed to be invincible was forcibly broken by the Golden Knight.

Jiuben's two arms were shattered on the spot by the overwhelming destructive power of Chaos Thunder Splendor. Then, a sharp pain in his chest, and he was struck squarely by the Golden Knight. The immense, irresistible force, like a flood breaking through a dam, poured in, impossible to withstand, impossible to digest, impossible to release.

Jiuben let out a惨叫, his body exploding from the inside out, turning into a mass of模糊的血肉. Then, in the brilliant golden light, he miraculously—disappeared forever. Mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotia.net
