Chapter 605 - 605 The Power of a Single Command

Chapter 605: Chapter 605: The Power of a Single Command [Twelfth Update] Chapter 605: Chapter 605: The Power of a Single Command [Twelfth Update] The second eldest of the Huo Family of Zhu Island City held peak status in terms of identity and fortune, standing at the pinnacle of Zhu Island City.

Li Xiaoyao, an insignificant figure whose name was unknown to the world, dared to kill Huo Dongjie without any hesitation, rising like a comet, became well-known in the upper echelons of Zhu Island City society in an instant and was feared by them.

However, such a rapid rise was not something ordinary people could achieve.

The four Sect Leaders and Huo Dongcheng moved like phantoms, suddenly splitting into five directions to encircle Li Xiaoyao completely, each unleashing their strongest techniques.

They all knew that if they were to fight him one-on-one, none of them would be a match for Li Xiaoyao. The only strategy for the moment was to join forces and aim for a killing blow.

Just as they were about to make their move, a piercing sound carrying a howling wind arose from the sea outside the cruise ship.

Everyone turned their heads to look, even Li Xiaoyao was drawn towards the sound.

...

On the pitch-black sea, only the faint moonlight sprinkled onto it, allowing ordinary people to see a white wave like that made by a swiftly swimming shark, speeding toward them.

But such a night could not obscure the vision of Li Xiaoyao and the other Cultivators.

Under their focused gaze, at the origin of the white wave, there was a man in black.

As the white trail grew closer, even ordinary guests could vaguely discern that it was a figure running swiftly on the sea’s surface.

“My God!”

“Is that even human? How can someone run on the sea like that?”

“I must be seeing things!”

Everyone was shocked, staring agape at the white wave drawing near, until it approached the shore. The man in black lightly tapped the crest of the wave with the tip of his foot, causing a wave several meters high to rise suddenly.

The sea wind howled as the man in black, like a sea eagle spreading its wings, landed steadily on the cruise ship.

Under the bright lights of the cruise ship, the silhouette of the man in black was clearly outlined, his whole body wet with seawater, yet he stood as straight as a Long Spear piercing the sky.

“Huo Dongjun!”

“It’s the Huo Family’s third brother!”

“The most talented of the Huo Family’s second generation, Huo Dongjun!”

“Rumors have it that the third young master’s Cultivation Level has reached the Seventh Rank of the Spirit Cultivation Realm, ranking second in the entire Huo Family, only behind Old Master Huo!”

Huo Dongjun’s gaze was sharp as a knife, scanning the hall bit by bit. When he saw Huo Dongjie, who was already dead on the floor, his eyes suddenly erupted with a chilling murderous intent.

“Who did this!?” Huo Dongjun roared repeatedly, his voice like Heavenly Thunder suddenly exploding in the hall, causing the ordinary guests to feel as if their ears would burst, and many became dizzy and collapsed.

Huo Dongjun walked over, squatted down, and looked at the dead Huo Dongjie, anger and sorrow mixing as he gritted his teeth, “Second brother, no matter who killed you, I will avenge you. I will grind that person to pieces, summon the Great Yin-Yang Master of the Qianye Family to bind their soul, ensuring they will never rest in peace.”

“Third brother!”

Huo Dongjun looked up and saw Huo Dongcheng standing to the left of Li Xiaoyao, ready to strike.

“Big brother, who killed the second brother?” Huo Dongjun stood up and asked.

“It was this vile spawn.” The appearance of Huo Dongjun had greatly relieved him.

In the entire Huo Family, aside from Old Master Huo, who had been in seclusion for many years, Huo Dongjun possessed the strongest Cultivation Level.

At the Seventh Rank of the Spirit Cultivation Realm, even within the entire Zhu Island City, he could be proud.

With him here, Li Xiaoyao would undoubtedly die today.

Huo Dongjun’s gaze shifted towards Li Xiaoyao, his eyes brimming with murderous intent as if shooting out two tangible flames.

Without any superfluous words, Huo Dongjun suddenly stomped his foot, his figure surging over three feet tall, shrouded in what seemed like a mist. He snapped his fingers in the air repeatedly, each flick producing a sonic boom that was thoroughly terrifying.

“This is the Dragon Tiger Physical Refining Technique of the Dragon Tiger Sect!”

“Who would have thought the relationship between the Dragon Tiger Sect and the Huo Family had grown so close that they are even exchanging martial skills!”

Huo Dongjun clapped his hands together with great force, the explosive clap instilling fear in one’s heart.

“Die!”

With a roar of fury, Huo Dongjun, like a raging humanoid weapon, took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of Li Xiaoyao. At the same time, his right hand formed a palm, carrying the force of tens of thousands to strike at Li Xiaoyao’s head.

If this palm strike landed, even a cultivator with a Cultivation Level not far off from Huo Dongjun’s would be severely injured.

The onlookers, seeing Li Xiaoyao unmoving, thought he had been intimidated by the aura let out by Huo Dongjun and were too scared to know how to react.

However, they were obviously thinking too much. At the critical juncture, Li Xiaoyao’s lips parted and he suddenly spat out a cold and arrogant word.

“Scram!”

If previously Huo Dongjun’s shout made people feel as though their feet were floating, then Li Xiaoyao’s “Scram” was like thunder from a clear sky, shocking the brains of the ordinary guests into blankness, causing them to faint.

This shout, infused with spiritual power and Spiritual Power, was primarily aimed at Huo Dongjun. Under this scolding, Huo Dongjun’s face turned deathly pale in an instant, his tightly clenched fist also became limp and powerless, as if hit by an immense and invisible force in the chest, his body arching and flying backwards towards the sea.

“Buzz buzz~”

Amidst the sound of thunder from beneath Li Xiaoyao’s feet, his body lightning-fast chased after Huo Dongjun. Under the horrified gazes of Huo Dongcheng and the four Sect Leaders, while still in midair, he fiercely stomped towards the flying Huo Dongjun.

“Bang!”

Under such terrifying leg strength, Huo Dongjun was like a human-shaped cannonball, crashing into the sea at a speed surpassing the speed of sound, and caused a colossal wave.

In the hall, aside from Huo Dongcheng and the other five, only those dozen or so cultivators who had attended the birthday banquet remained conscious.

These dozen people had witnessed Li Xiaoyao’s strength grow stronger as the Huo Family members, or the cultivators they invited, grew in power.

Li Xiaoyao was like a bottomless pit; just when you thought he was hopeless, he would suddenly burst forth with a fearsome strength that astonished and terrified, crushing you with absolute superiority.

The Huo Family was a prime example.

These cultivators felt a tragic sense of mourning for them in their hearts.

What unforgivable sin had the Huo Family committed to have provoked such a terrifying cultivator to create such chaos and kill the members of the Huo Family on the day of their annual gathering?

Li Xiaoyao’s body slowly landed on the sea surface, his toes lightly touching a wave before returning to the cruise ship.

In this moment, the faces of Huo Dongcheng and the other five were as dark as water.

The strength of Li Xiaoyao surpassed everyone’s imagination.

Even Huo Dongjun, being at the Seventh Rank of the Spirit Cultivation Realm, didn’t last a single move against Li Xiaoyao. No, to say a single move was an understatement; merely a word from Li Xiaoyao was enough to send him flying.

With such strength, Huo Dongcheng felt that in Zhu Island City, barring those few reclusive old monsters and true experts, only Old Master Huo could possibly fight against Li Xiaoyao.
