Chapter 785: Chapter 785 Leave a Finger [Fifth Update] Chapter 785: Chapter 785 Leave a Finger [Fifth Update] “Have we met before?” Li Xiaoyao’s eyebrows raised slightly.

“We have not.” Wu Xuan shook his head faintly, his face always adorned with a trace of a faint smile, which seemed gentle but concealed a hint of chilliness.

“I know you, but you may not know me,” Wu Xuan’s smile under the sunlight took on an unsettling curve as he said, “Someone asked me to take your life, but I think killing is always bad, so if there is a peaceful way to resolve this, why resort to violence? Don’t you agree?”

Li Xiaoyao’s brow furrowed deeper, “What exactly are you trying to say?”

“Let me remind you.” Wu Xuan’s finger lightly traced his lips, those blood-red lips, thirsting for blood, “The Tang Family of Jindu, remember them?”

The Tang Family of Jindu!

Li Xiaoyao’s pupils contracted slightly, so that was it, that was it!

...

He had thought by killing the Tang Family’s head, he could thoroughly deter the Spirit Attacher forces of the Tang Family overseas, yet he had underestimated the great clan.

Indeed, one of the most powerful families in Jindu, a centipede dies but never falls down; even if he had control over the Tang Family of Xuan Country, their overseas influence still had such extensive connections, able to call even a warrior from an Ancient Sect out of seclusion.

Where there is profit, there people will go.

Such a simple truth, how could Li Xiaoyao not understand?

The warrior from an Ancient Sect was no ordinary cultivator. To move someone from an Ancient Sect, the Tang Family overseas must have paid a tremendous price.

The Sect Leader of an Ancient Sect, their cultivation level was at least at the seventh rank of the Nascent Soul Realm.

With Li Xiaoyao’s current cultivation level, even if using his trump card, it was unlikely he could kill them; of course, if it was just about escaping, there would be no problem.

As for Elder Luo Jiang of the Rakshasa Sect, his cultivation level was roughly that of the fourth rank of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Li Xiaoyao, now after his time in the forbidden lands and with improvement in his cultivation level, could potentially kill a Venerable of the fourth or fifth rank of the Nascent Soul Realm with the right combination of time, place, and harmony, though it would be a stroke of luck.

“You return the Tang Family to me and leave behind a finger, then I will pretend I never saw you today. How does that sound?” Wu Xuan proposed with a smile.

“And if I refuse?” Li Xiaoyao would not agree to any of Wu Xuan’s demands.

Even if the Tang Family were dispensable to him, that was not a reason to hand them over.

“Refuse? Heh.” Wu Xuan seemed somewhat to have underestimated Li Xiaoyao, but his attitude was indeed as stubborn and arrogant as the rumors—with no difference.

Wu Xuan stepped aside, turning his gaze to Luo Jiang, “Luo Daoyou, as you wish.”

Luo Jiang had been somewhat indecisive, unsure of what Wu Xuan intended, but upon hearing his words, the weight in his heart suddenly lifted.

The Sect Leader of the Rakshasa Sect was in a critical moment of breakthrough, so even for a ceremony as important as the patrol envoy festival, he could not attend, and thus sent him in his stead. How could he have expected to encounter Li Xiaoyao today?

If the Sect Leader of an Ancient Sect intervened under these circumstances, he would have no choice but to swallow his pride and give up. After all, the cultivation level of any Sect Leader of an Ancient Sect was far beyond his comparison.

Luo Jiang’s gaze turned icy, landing on Li Xiaoyao, “Boy, you killed an Elder of my Rakshasa Sect. Today, I will kill you to avenge our Elder.”

“Kill me? You are not enough!” Li Xiaoyao’s narrowed eyes suddenly sprang open, unleashing two fiery flames.

The flames shot out from his eyes, blocking Luo Jiang’s left and right escape paths. Luo Jiang was shocked, not expecting Li Xiaoyao to have such a tactic, and immediately raised his hand to strike at the flames encircling him.

However, just as he was about to take action, he caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye of Li Xiaoyao’s mouth curling into a smile of someone whose plan was succeeding.

“A trick!?” The thought flashed through Luo Jiang’s mind, but as soon as it appeared it vanished; with Li Xiaoyao’s level of cultivation, even if there was deception, what could it do?

“Trapped Sky Finger!”

“One Finger Shatters Mountains and Rivers!”

The piercing, ice-cold voice spilled from Li Xiaoyao’s mouth, word by word, and as he spoke, even the surrounding air seemed to drop in temperature considerably.

Everyone watched as Li Xiaoyao extended a single finger. At the tip of his finger, there appeared a speck of gold light that seemed unremarkable, but as the gold light emerged, they realized, too late, that they were unable to avert their eyes.

It was as if that speck of gold light possessed some special trait that captivated their minds.

“What is this?”

“This presence…”

“How could that kid possibly execute such a powerful martial art?”

Trapped Sky Finger suddenly erupted, with golden rays shooting out from the fingertip at an astonishing speed that alarmed all who saw it.

Luo Jiang sensed danger, with hairs on his back standing on end, and almost reflexively dodged to one side. The Trapped Sky Finger narrowly missed his brow, but it did not completely miss him.

The golden ray pierced through his left eye, exiting the back of his skull.

Luo Jiang’s body was sent flying backward almost immediately, clothed in flames that charred his clothes into a crisp layer fused to his skin.

“Ahhhh!!!”

Screams echoed through the land, leaving everyone frozen in shock, including Liu Chengxiang, who had assumed he understood Li Xiaoyao, now staring in utter astonishment.

Luo Jiang was a Fourth Rank Nascent Soul Realm Venerable, and yet he was blinded in one eye by Li Xiaoyao’s single strike.

If one had not witnessed it with their own eyes, who would dare believe it? Who could believe it?

If someone had said in front of them that a Cultivator in the Spirit Condensation Realm could gravely injure a Fifth Rank Nascent Soul Realm Venerable with a single move, everyone would think that person was out of their mind.

A cold glint flashed in Li Xiaoyao’s eyes, filled with an unprecedented intensity of murderous intent. With a light tap of his foot on the ground, a flash of silver appeared and a soft rumble of thunder was heard; his body transformed into a black stream of light, weaving through the flames in pursuit of the severely wounded Luo Jiang.

Chen Li had already decided to abandon helping Li Xiaoyao when Wu Xuan appeared.

Against Luo Jiang alone, he could boldly declare, “Being an enemy of Xuan Sect means being an enemy of me.”

But with the addition of a Sect Leader from an ancient Sect, even he would not risk offending two Ancient Sects for the sake of a favor.

At his level, pragmatism dominated his considerations; they had a specific set of criteria to measure what was worth pursuing and what was not.

To offend two great Ancient Sects for the sake of a favor was simply not worth it, an unwise decision indeed.

Wu Xuan was momentarily stunned as well, the sudden surge of power from Li Xiaoyao had taken him by surprise. By the time he recovered, Li Xiaoyao had already pursued Luo Jiang.

Rage boiled within Luo Jiang, never had he imagined that one day he would find himself in such a miserable predicament, especially at the hands of a youngster whose cultivation level was clearly lower than his. The shame and anger mingled within him, igniting a fierce urge to devour Li Xiaoyao’s flesh and blood.

Li Xiaoyao soared close to the ground, his body nearly grazing the earth, his speed so fast that not a whisper of sound was made.

Under the influence of his immense spiritual power, flames whirled around him, suddenly rising to form a Fire Phoenix that screeched and spread its wings, diving toward Luo Jiang.

Both man and Fire Phoenix, like angels of hell, sought to snatch away Luo Jiang’s life.

This spectacle was indeed absurd to the dozen or so Nascent Soul Realm Venerables witnessing it.
