BXBX NOVEL Chapter 732: Boom!
It wasn’t something that was supposed to happen, but it happened before their eyes!
An enraged cry came from Brother Xie who was trying to shatter the water screen as Gong Xinlan and the others looked at what had happened in disbelief.
Killing an expert at the Martial Dipper Realm was no easy task. Even if he had been cut in half, he wouldn’t die! Especially since he had refined more than a single fate dipper, killing him was an even taller task.
Along with the sound of the water screen tearing, Brother Xie took a single step and appeared between the body and Shang Xia’s squad. He pushed himself to the limit as he tried to buy as much time as he could for Brother Wu to recover.
“He’s not dead! We only managed to destroy a Fate Dipper Clone by tearing him in half!” Shen Baisong yelled at the side. He was forced to retreat under Brother Xie’s tyrannical strength. As he tried to increase the distance between them, he yelled out in warning.
At the same time, a figure was struggling to restore itself behind Brother Xie. The half bodies crumbled and turned into some sort of dried-up skin as Brother Wu reappeared.
The strange skin-like treasure was probably related to Brother Wu’s fate dipper, and it was heavily damaged after being torn apart. Even if he refined it again, he wouldn’t be able to fully restore his cultivation at the second element of the Martial Dipper Realm.
“You… All of you will suffer a fate worse than death!” Brother Wu roared with a sinister expression on his face.
While he yelled his threats, Brother Xie was already suppressing Shang Xia and gang. He didn’t know how Brother Wu suffered such a disastrous defeat in the hands of the bunch of cultivators who barely stepped into the Martial Dipper Realm.
There was no way he could chalk it up to negligence. Even if someone was careless, there had to be a limit as to how far they could mess up. His fellow cultivator was clearly just a useless fool!
Brother Wu had endless rage and resentment in his heart, but he didn’t dare to express it in front of his fellow expert from the Spirit Abundance World.
He wanted nothing more than to shatter every bone in their body and tear them to shreds. However, the fear of what happened earlier lingered in his heart. His actions were tardy as he hesitated in his actions.
Useless fool! Brother Xie cursed inwardly.
Even though that was what he felt, he continued to suppress Shang Xia and the others with all his might. Gong Xinlan and the others hadn’t recovered after unleashing their strike against Brother Wu, and they were forced into a sorry state as a result.
Shang Xia couldn’t do anything in a situation like that. He could only try to circulate his Five Element Inner Qi the best he could to help hasten their rate of recovery.
It was also then that Brother Wu found a weak point. Appearing from behind Brother Xie, he tossed a metal claw at Lady Yu whose water screen had been torn apart earlier.
At that moment, her body trembled violently due to a powerful strike from Brother Xie. Her internal qi fluctuated violently and it would be hard for her to maintain her personal protection barrier.
Right before the claw could land, a ray of five colored light shot out from Shang Xia’s hand under the cover of the five colored light ring around his body. Almost no one noticed what he had done.
The only person who felt something was Brother Xie. He felt a tiny spatial fluctuation flying past him but due to the nature of the battle, massive shockwaves filled the area. Space was trembling unceasingly and he couldn’t be bothered with such a small disturbance. After all, it felt too weak to do any harm to an expert in the Martial Dipper Realm.
Too bad for him, reality proved him wrong. The tiny fluctuation actually had the ability to injure an expert in the Martial Dipper Realm!
The sinister expression on Brother Wu’s face froze as he stared at Lady Yu. The metal claw lost all its power the next instant and was easily repelled by the weak barrier around her body.
Brother Xie’s eyes widened in shock as he took the chance when everyone was forced away from him to glance over his shoulder. He saw his companion completely frozen as all signs of life had left his body. Extending his divine will over, he immediately discovered the cause of death. He didn’t know when it happened, but a hole had been pierced through Brother Wu’s dantian. His dipper qi detonated inside him and his innards had been turned to mush.
Brother Xue was a seasoned expert in the Martial Dipper Realm. Everything that happened earlier replayed in his mind and he thought back to the tiny insignificant spatial fluctuation he felt earlier. His gaze landed on Shang Xia who was currently hiding among his fellow cultivators.
“You did this…” Brother Xie stared at the youngster who killed his companion. He didn’t think that the coward who was hiding among the others posed the greatest threat!
While cursing Brother Wu for being absolutely fucking useless, he was also racking his brains to think of how Shang Xia achieved the kill. A trace of fear filled his heart and he became a lot more cautious.
That was also the reason why rather than focusing on the others, he paid more attention to Shang Xia. It didn’t take too long for him to realize the youngster was located at the true core of their battle formation. The unassuming youngster who seemed to be providing support by maintaining the balance of everyone’s inner qi was the greatest asset they had!
It was a shame he discovered the fact too late.
After getting rid of Brother Wu, Shang Xia and the others were able to fully focus on dealing with Brother Xie. Without anything holding them back, they started to regain the initiative in the battle. They were no longer suppressed like before and they eventually turned the tables. They forced him away from the spatial tunnel before allowing the other squad to take their place.
Shang Xia didn’t forget to gather his spoils of war. He retrieved everything Brother Wu brought with him.
The only thing Shang Xia found a pity was that he couldn’t gather anything like a fate dipper fragment or shards of it after Brother Wu’s dantian was destroyed.
Fortunately, the Tongyang Needle he used was a high-grade weapon. It remained relatively intact after killing Brother Wu. Shang Xia infused a strand of inner qi into it after he retrieved it. He didn’t intend to hide the fact he was doing it and it caused Brother Xie’s eyelids to twitch violently while fighting the others.
Actually, he wasn’t the only one who was terrified by his companion’s death. Gong Xinlan and the others also found it extremely unbelievable. Earlier, Lady Yu was already prepared to be heavily injured after the metal claw slammed into her.
They might not be as perceptive as Brother Xie who managed to sense the slight spatial fluctuation, but they realized what happened after seeing the needle in Shang Xia’s palm.
Understanding what had happened, their evaluation and perception of Shang Xia increased to new heights.
