A little girl with no strength to tie a chicken? Are you sure?
She's at the peak of the ninth level of the Sea Opening Realm!
System, do you have a misunderstanding of what "no strength to tie a chicken" means?
[Beep! Host, do you accept this mission or not!]
I accept!
Of course, I accept!
With a reward better than advancing one minor realm, even a fool wouldn't refuse!
Whoosh!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
A series of sounds rang out.
Xiao Yao immediately snapped back to attention and looked toward where the sounds had last disappeared.
He saw Dai Tianwei, whose small stature was contrasted by her graceful curves.
Immediately after, sixteen cultivators arrived, surrounding Dai Tianwei.
The battle could have taken place below without issue, but Dai Tianwei was clearly kind-hearted and didn't want to lead the fight towards other innocent cultivators.
"Brother Yu, isn't that girl the Divine Maiden from the Shocking Heaven Tower?"
Hearing this, Yu Bu's gaze didn't change. "Just because she's the Divine Maiden of the Shocking Heaven Tower does that mean she can kill people as she pleases? Besides, the Xuanyuan Family we serve isn't afraid of the Shocking Heaven Tower."
The other fifteen cultivators naturally understood this.
However, if they killed the Divine Maiden of the Shocking Heaven Tower, the Shocking Heaven Tower's wrath would likely mean their deaths as servants.
But if they didn't avenge their second young master, death was certain.
Thus, choosing the lesser of two evils, they naturally chose to avenge their second young master.
As for the Divine Maiden of the Shocking Heaven Tower, Yu Bu had already devised a plan: capture her. That way, their chances of survival would be much higher!
In the past, Dai Tianwei would have chosen to argue weakly.
But through Xiao Yao's teachings, she had realized that explanations were useless. Only by displaying powerful martial force could she deter these people.
Only then would these people listen to her gentle explanations.
Whoosh!
A Saint Artifact Precious Sword appeared in Dai Tianwei's hand.
Without any hesitation, she condensed her Mana into the sword and unleashed the Saint tier spell, Shocking Heaven First Style.
In an instant, the clouds in the sky were scattered. Dai Tianwei's entire body erupted with an astonishing aura, containing the sharpness of two levels of Sword Intent, making Yu Bu and the other sixteen cultivators feel a chill.
The cultivators below twitched their lips. They truly hadn't expected such terrifying power to be contained within the seemingly weak girl from before.
"Big brother, we can only use that move now!"
Yu Bu nodded, and a dazzling golden needle appeared in his hand.
Dai Tianwei looked confused, clearly not understanding the needle's purpose.
[Beep! This item is a Venerable Tier magic treasure, the Nine Yin Golden Needle. It can break through the defenses of Venerable Realm cultivators. If struck, one will be unable to use Mana.]
They're actually using something like this to deal with a Sea Opening Realm cultivator.
The servants of the Xuanyuan Family truly have no shame!
But this was understandable. Yu Bu and the others didn't want to suffer losses, and they wanted to capture Dai Tianwei, so they could only resort to such a dirty trick.
Tzzt!
Yu Bu flicked his finger, and the Nine Yin Golden Needle shot out like a cannonball.
Its speed increased with every passing moment, making it impossible for Dai Tianwei, who was already strengthening her defenses, to track.
In response, Dai Tianwei directly slashed forward with her sword, and a vast sword light instantly engulfed the Nine Yin Golden Needle.
However, no matter how powerful a Sea Opening Realm cultivator's strength was, it couldn't compare to the hardness of a Venerable Tier magic treasure.
The Nine Yin Golden Needle, even using the sword light as cover, had already reached within 1 meter of Dai Tianwei.
At such speed, Dai Tianwei had no chance of blocking it, but she still swung her sword, hoping to block the Nine Yin Golden Needle with it.
But the possibility of that happening was extremely slim!
As expected, the Nine Yin Golden Needle pierced through. At this moment, it was only 0.01 centimeters away from Dai Tianwei.
Just as it was about to pierce Dai Tianwei's delicate skin, a Tai Chi Bagua diagram appeared around her, and above her, a shining mirror rotated.
BOOM!
The Nine Yin Golden Needle couldn't advance another inch. What was even more infuriating was that it was being forced outward by the power of the Tai Chi Bagua Mirror.
Yu Bu stared blankly and muttered, "This is the Tai Chi Pavilion's Saint tier magic treasure, the Tai Chi Bagua Mirror. How could a Divine Maiden from the Shocking Heaven Tower have it?"
"She doesn't, of course. This mirror belongs to this seat!"
With a loud bang in the sky, Xiao Yao's dashing figure made a dazzling entrance.
The cultivators below were all stunned, inwardly filled with lingering fear as they thought, "Damn! This god of slaughter hasn't left yet!"
Dai Tianwei smiled, her eyes like crescent moons, adding sweetness to her cuteness.
"Who are you?" Yu Bu questioned loudly.
Xiao Yao looked at Dai Tianwei and asked curiously, "Tsk! Are all the servants of the Xuanyuan Family a bunch of idiots?"
"Probably!" Dai Tianwei affirmed with a dazed, cute tone.
Yu Bu and the other sixteen cultivators in the Sea Opening Realm, who had been insulted, gritted their teeth.
Like Yu Bu, they stopped speaking and directly unleashed their strongest, full-power attacks.
However, before they could even launch their attacks, Xiao Yao's entire body was covered in a faint silver-white light, followed by a sword strike.
The sword light, containing the sixth level of Sword Intent, sent chills down the spines of the cultivators present; it possessed a sharpness and terror they could not yet imagine.
Upon seeing this, Yu Bu and the others abandoned their preparations and directly unleashed their moves.
Sword light! Saber light! Sound waves! Fire light! Sixteen dazzling spell lights rushed towards Xiao Yao.
Each of these spell lights was incredibly powerful, capable of dominating any other location.
But when they encountered the sword light Xiao Yao unleashed, they instantly dissipated!
"What? This is impossible!"
Yu Bu and the other sixteen Sea Opening Realm cultivators were dumbfounded!
This young man was only at the peak of the third level of the Sea Opening Realm!
And the weakest among them was at the peak of the eighth level of the Sea Opening Realm. How could they, working together, not be a match for this youth?
The most outrageous thing wasn't even this; it was that the sword light seemed to have suffered no loss in power. On the contrary, it was growing stronger!
"Brother Yu! Run!"
As soon as this cry escaped, the cultivator was engulfed by the swift and fierce sword light, leaving not even a speck of dust behind.
Yu Bu watched in shock. Just as he was about to flee, he saw Xiao Yao appear before him and, with a dishonorable move, kick him into the sword light.
In the blink of an eye, Yu Bu and the other sixteen Sea Opening Realm cultivators were gone, as if they had never existed.
The cultivators below felt a lump in their throats, their bodies trembling slightly, fearing that this god of slaughter, Xiao Yao, would turn his attention to them.
[Beep! Congratulations to the Host for completing the mission: Slaying all cultivators of the Xuanyuan Family present. Reward: Cultivation advanced by two minor realms!]
"Big brother, don't worry, I'll have my Master protect you," Dai Tianwei said in a clear, childish voice.
Xiao Yao smiled slightly and asked curiously, "Who is your Master?"
"The Tower Master of the Shocking Heaven Tower!" Dai Tianwei replied.
So her Master was Sun Weihao!
The Xuanyuan Family was the second-ranked family on the Southern Wilderness Domain's family rankings.
Indeed, the Shocking Heaven Tower could protect him!
However, his Master was the Lotus Sword Emperor. If the Xuanyuan Family dared to seek revenge on him, they would likely be wiped out from the Southern Wilderness Domain.
"I appreciate your kind offer!"
Hearing Xiao Yao's polite refusal, Dai Tianwei lowered her head. She felt that because the servants of the Xuanyuan Family had dared to attack her, a Divine Maiden of the Shocking Heaven Tower, the young brother didn't believe the Shocking Heaven Tower could protect him.
"And you don't need to call me 'Big Brother.' The age difference between us isn't that much. Just call me 'Brother'."
As soon as Xiao Yao said this, Dai Tianwei blinked, and the cultivators below blinked. They all found it hard to believe.
Dai Tianwei's terrifying feat was achieving the peak of the ninth level of the Sea Opening Realm at the age of twelve.
Xiao Yao, however, was different. His terrifying feat was being able to casually kill cultivators at the peak of the ninth level of the Sea Opening Realm at the age of twelve.
If one were to compare who was more formidable, it would undoubtedly be Xiao Yao!
This was because the strength one could unleash was always more important than their cultivation level.
Considering he had two minor realm cultivation advancement rewards yet to claim, coupled with the time needed to stabilize his foundation and absorb them, Xiao Yao decided to cultivate on Sword Mark Peak for the time being and said, "Dai Tianwei, go observe the sword marks. I will be cultivating here during this period."
Brother is planning to guard me while I cultivate!
Dai Tianwei's heart was filled with emotion. She nodded repeatedly, then remembered something and immediately asked, "Brother, you said that if we met again, you would tell me your name."
"Xiao Yao!"
After speaking, Xiao Yao put the Nine Yin Golden Needle into his System space and then casually found a spot to sit in meditation and cultivate.
The Nine-tailed Celestial Fox was no longer supported by his left hand but was resting on his crossed legs.
However, it was worth noting that the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox had been sound asleep the entire time, showing no signs of waking.
Xiao Yao wondered if all divine beasts loved to sleep so much, or if this was just how his Nine-tailed Celestial Fox was.
In any case, he would have to wait until he left to ask his Master about divine beasts.
Two and a half days later.
Dai Tianwei's Sword Intent had advanced to the peak of the fourth level. She opened her eyes with satisfaction, left her spot, and flew towards Xiao Yao.
With a single glance, she discovered that Xiao Yao's cultivation had already advanced to the peak of the fifth level of the Sea Opening Realm. Moreover, his aura was incredibly profound, indicating a very solid foundation for his cultivation.
What a fast cultivation speed!
"You're here!" Xiao Yao said.
Dai Tianwei nodded obediently and replied, "En! I'm here!"
"I plan to go to the mountain peak where the Immortal Palace is. What about you?" Xiao Yao stated his destination.
A different kind of brilliance appeared in Dai Tianwei's eyes, and she said with surprise, "Me too!"
"There's no time to delay, so let's set off immediately."
After speaking, Xiao Yao stood up, hugged the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox in his left arm, and flew towards the location of the Immortal Palace.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Watching the two disappearing streaks of light, the cultivators who hadn't dared to breathe deeply for the past two and a half days finally began to exhale.
"Phew! That formidable person has finally left!"
"I can finally breathe freely! How did I not notice how fresh the air around me was before?"
