Chapter 332
The old Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master's eyelids trembled slightly, utterly horrified.
You must understand, this is the palace wall of the Sun God Palace, forged from countless divine materials and incorporating more than one protective formation. Even if he used all his strength, he probably wouldn't be able to break through the Sun God Palace, yet Princess Xiao shattered it so easily!
Although he had reached the pinnacle of the Supreme Realm, he was not known for his physical prowess. If he had been struck by that sword, he would probably have been annihilated, body and soul!
Suddenly, Xiao Minghuang appeared on the broken palace wall. She stood on a huge rock, like a fairy descended to earth, graceful and charming, yet utterly indifferent.
"What are you up to?"
The old Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master had an extremely gloomy face, staring intently at the stunningly beautiful woman standing not far away with her hands behind her back. His eyes were bloodshot, and he spoke with a fierce but weak tone.
Xiao Minghuang glanced at him but did not respond. Instead, she raised her right hand, flicked her finger, and a ray of starlight suddenly surged, transforming into a Starlight Sword that tore through the void and slashed down fiercely.
Pfft!
Sizzle!
Blood splattered everywhere, and a severed limb fell to the ground. The old Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master screamed, his body stiffening on the spot. He looked down at the bloody hole in his chest, which was covered in blood, with disbelief on his face.
"You bastard!"
The intense pain stimulated the nerves of the old Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master. He roared and threw a punch at Xiao Minghuang. The force of the punch was as powerful as the rising sun.
However, Xiao Minghuang simply raised her hand and clenched it, and the rising sun immediately dimmed, as if it had encountered something terrifying, and quickly collapsed.
"Vulnerable."
Xiao Minghuang shook his head, then opened his right hand, and a starlight blade appeared out of thin air. In an instant, the old Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master's entire arm was severed, and scalding blood spurted out, staining the hall red.
The Star Blade, undeterred, struck the sturdy walls of the Sun God Palace with unwavering force.
Click!
With a sharp crack, the entire palace wall was severed in half, and countless dense rows of lines spread out, covering the entire temple like a spider web, a shocking sight.
The next moment.
There was a loud "boom"!
The entire Sun God Palace collapsed with a deafening roar.
Smoke and dust filled the air, and flames soared into the sky.
Hiss--
The old Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master gasped, staring at Xiao Minghuang with a face full of shock.
He hadn't expected this little girl to have such strength.
440. Suppressing the Supreme
Xiao Minghuang's figure soared into the air, flying above the ruins of the collapsed Sun God Palace. Looking down at the devastation below, a faint smile appeared on his lips.
She turned around, took slow steps, and approached the old Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master. With each step closer, the icy aura emanating from her body grew stronger.
The old Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master's expression changed drastically, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead.
At this moment, because of Xiao Minghuang's sword strike, the walls of the Sun God Palace were shattered, exposing the entire interior of the palace to the eyes of many disciples.
"What happened?"
"It's the Sun God Palace! Everyone look! The Sun God Palace has collapsed!"
"I think I saw the old Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master... I saw him before at the Young Pavilion Master's inauguration ceremony..."
"It seems he's had a conflict with someone?"
"I saw it! That person... that person is Princess Xiao!"
"What!? Princess Xiao?"
In an instant, all the disciples looked up, their gazes fixed on Xiao Minghuang and the old Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master in the sky.
At the same time, murmurs of shock echoed from all directions, with many disciples staring wide-eyed in disbelief.
After all, the situation is quite clear.
Princess Xiao's clothes were as good as new and spotless.
The old Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master had lost an arm, and his whole body was covered in dust and blood.
Clearly, Princess Xiao had a conflict with the old Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master, and judging from their expressions, Princess Xiao had the upper hand.
"Why did Princess Xiao suddenly start Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master?"
"No, no! Aren't you focusing on the wrong thing? What level is Princess Xiao at? How could she possibly fight against the old Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master?"
"Ah, right! Princess Xiao should be at the peak of the King Realm now... no, she should be at the Saint Realm, right? The old Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master is an immortal supreme being who has lived for countless years. The two of them are not even on the same level!"
"... But what exactly is going on?"
Immediately, countless voices of discussion arose.
Hearing these words, the old Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master was somewhat embarrassed. If the chaos could not be quelled quickly, the news of his defeat at the hands of Princess Xiao would likely spread like wildfire. In the future, how could he possibly save face in the Five Directions One Realm?
But he seriously underestimated Princess Xiao. Putting aside everything else, he simply couldn't withstand that sword strike.
"The best course of action now is to flee!"
Thinking of this, he snorted coldly and said, "Princess Xiao, considering your youth and ignorance, I will not stoop to your level and will forgive you for now. Take care of yourself!"
After saying that, he swayed and turned into a blur, fleeing away.
"Coming and going as you please? It's not that easy!"
Watching the departing figure of the old Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master, Xiao Minghuang's lips curled into a disdainful smile. Then, she flipped her hand, and a beam of starlight was held in her palm before she waved it out.
The starlight shone brightly, illuminating the dark night sky, and a chilling killing intent emanated from it, making the entire world seem to freeze.
Under the watchful eyes of countless Sacred Academy Disciples, a dazzling beam of starlight stretched across the sky, seemingly tearing apart heaven and earth and piercing through the universe!
At this moment, the old Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master had already passed the outer edge of the Sun God City and was preparing to leave.
However, at that moment, he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his head, and a strong sense of life and death crisis suddenly arose in his heart.
He quickly turned around and saw a dazzling sword light, carrying the force of a thunderbolt, rushing towards him.
This sword strike was incredibly powerful, like a star falling from the sky, destroying the world and leaving everyone breathless.
Seeing this, he dared not be careless in the slightest. He quickly circulated his magic power and summoned one protective magic treasure after another, which transformed into layers of golden light shields in front of him.
Click, click!
In an instant, the starlight sword beam slashed fiercely at the light shield, and immediately, dense cracks appeared on the light shield, as if it were about to shatter.
The old Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master contracted. He gritted his teeth and roared, a flame flashing between his brows. The surging supreme laws poured into the light barrier, constantly repairing the broken barrier.
Finally, the starlight sword's radiance vanished.
The old Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master also breathed a sigh of relief.
However, he soon realized something.
"Um?"
He looked down and saw that his body, which had been covered by the light shield, now had a deep bloodstain that ran from his shoulder down to his waist, splitting his body in two.
Bright red blood gushed out.
He struggled to lift his head, gazing at the void ahead, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Pfft!
In the blink of an eye, his body collapsed to the ground.
In an instant, the surroundings fell into a deathly silence.
Countless disciples stared blankly at this scene, feeling a chill run through their bodies.
"That's... that's terrifying."
"Has the old Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master... fallen?"
"Was it... was it Princess Xiao who did it?"
"How is this possible?!"
Everyone was stunned, unable to believe their eyes, and some even wondered if they were hallucinating.
No one expected that Xiao Minghuang would actually dare to kill someone on the spot!!
And the crucial question is, how did she even manage that?!
How could she dare?!
This is the Holy Academy!
While everyone was in shock, Xiao Minghuang slowly emerged from the void, her beautiful figure exuding nobility and elegance.
Even though she didn't exude the slightest killing intent at this moment, she still made countless disciples tremble with fear and silence.
Her gaze swept over everyone around her, her clear pupils filled with an overbearing arrogance that seemed to look down upon the heavens.
This is chilling!
Especially that invisible aura of authority made it difficult for people to breathe.
Xiao Minghuang looked down at the crowd and said in a clear voice, "The old Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master insulted my master. I taught him a lesson to avenge my master. Please be aware of this and do not spread rumors..."
"Otherwise, you will be punished according to the rules of the Holy Court!"
Xiao Minghuang's voice was neither hurried nor slow, but gentle yet filled with boundless majesty. When it reached everyone's ears, it was like a raging storm, stirring up waves.
Her words were both a warning to everyone present and a condemnation of someone lurking behind the scenes, avoiding the public eye.
Upon hearing her voice, the surroundings fell completely silent.
Hearing Xiao Minghuang's words, everyone was shocked and realized once again how powerful Princess Xiao was!
More importantly, Xiao Minghuang's forceful action in suppressing the old Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master signaled something.
She no longer belongs to the so-called younger generation.
After all, even the renowned Elder of the Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master among the Supreme Beings was defeated by her, so how could she still be regarded as a young person?
Even the ruler of the Eastern Pole should understand this.
441. The ultimate supreme being, comparable to an earthly immortal.
Immediately, Xiao Minghuang raised his hand and made a grasping motion in the air, forming a large silver hand that grabbed the old Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master and pulled him in front of him.
At this moment, the old Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master was no longer arrogant and conceited. His old face turned ashen with fright, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans kept appearing on his forehead.
In that instant, he was filled with remorse.
If he had known this would happen, why would he have bothered arguing with a junior?
If he had known Xiao Minghuang possessed such strength, he would have kept his mouth shut.
Not only the old Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master, but all the elders and disciples of the Holy Academy present were terrified by Xiao Minghuang's actions.
This was a supreme-level old monster, yet Xiao Minghuang held him in her hand like a chick, making him seem as insignificant as an ant, completely at her mercy.
Just how powerful is Xiao Minghuang?!
"What... what do you want to do..."
The old Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master's voice trembled, his face filled with fear.
At this moment, Xiao Minghuang looked down at him and said indifferently, "Sect Master, you're lucky this time. I'll spare your life, but next time, you won't be so fortunate."
Upon hearing this, the old Hundred Inquiries Pavilion Master broke out in a cold sweat.
"I... I understand."
"Good to know." Xiao Minghuang nodded, a slight sneer playing on her lips, and said, "Before you disappear from my sight, apologize to my master!"
Now that the dust had settled, the Sun Hall Mistress revealed himself from the void.
