Dozens of crimson-black Light Blades cut through space like thunderbolts. They traveled with lightning speed and roared like beasts, shaking both Heaven and Earth. Tucked within the mountains, the people at the Xiahai Survivor Base could see the shower of crimson-black Light Blades in the distance.

  “My God, what… what is that?”

  “It’s like a Light Blade—they always appear in martial arts series!”

  “Is the peerless fighter from earth fighting the Yi Clan?”

  All of them stared anxiously at the spectacle with a feeling of dread in their hearts.

  Tian Zhenxing pondered solemnly as he gazed up at the sky.

  Is it Group Leader?

  Is Group Leader the one fighting the Yi Clan?

  Liu Yiyao and Si Yueting trembled in fear. Images of Xiao Luo battling against the invading Yi Clan flashed in their minds. They knew he was doing it to save the human race.

  …

  Saiki was remarkably calm in the face of the oncoming crimson-black Light Blades. “Energy Shield Level 10!”

  HUMM!

  A golden sphere instantly formed around him. It was a protective shield that completely encased his body.

  The crimson-black Light Blades struck the golden energy shield, resulting in an earth-shattering blast that reverberated like thunder. The impact also sent waves of energy across the ground, causing the air to distort and the ground to shake. It lasted quite a while before it gradually came to a stop.

  Saiki was unscathed. He glared at Xiao Luo smugly, and said, “You are nothing when facing me, the ultimate power. Let me give you a warning—you better listen to…”

  He abruptly stopped speaking, for Xiao Luo was headed straight toward him like a ferocious beast. With the Dragon Saber in hand, he aimed for the energy shield.

  CLANG!

  Again, the Dragon Saber struck the shield, ringing loudly like the sound of two metal objects smashing into each other. A shower of sparks flew from the tip of the saber.

  “Scarlet eyes? Are you the one who represents The Ultimate Martial? So, you are from the Xiao War Clan!”

  There was a look of surprise on Saiki’s face, but his arrogant expression quickly returned and he said, “The Ultimate Tech has completely suppressed The Ultimate Martial. We wiped out your Xiao War Clan from the universe. I did not expect one of your survivors to be hiding on this planet. You even assimilated with the lowly beings of this planet and bore offsprings. How pathetic. What a joke!”

  “Shut up!”

  Xiao Luo scowled as he gritted his teeth, and the veins on his head throbbed. Unleashing all the power in his body to crush the energy shield had taken a toll on him. But it was futile as the golden energy shield was too strong. It was impenetrable, and he was at a complete loss as he hovered in the air.

  Saiki snickered and continued to rile Xiao Luo up. “To think that the system we sent into the universe chose you, a descendant of the Xiao clan, as its carrier. It looks like Destiny has determined the Xiao Clan will go extinct. This trip will surely earn me a big reward.”

  After mocking Xiao Luo, a red laser beam suddenly shot out from his right eye.

  Even though Xiao Luo had attained an exceptionally high level of power, he was no match for a weapon the speed of light. Besides, it was virtually impossible to evade at such close range. His body reacted instinctively, but the laser beam still shot him right through his left shoulder. It was the best Xiao Luo could do against the laser beam. Otherwise, it would have got him in his heart.

  POOF!

  Blood gushed out from behind his left shoulder. The pain was so intense that Xiao Luo let out a painful groan.

  Without giving Xiao Luo a chance to recover from the hit, Saiki teleported in front of him and thrust his palm into Xiao Luo’s chest.

  \r \r \r

  BAM!

  The tremendous power from the strike was like a raging wave. The energy force spread from Xiao Luo’s chest to his limbs. The quick palm assault from Saiki traumatized his internal organs, and Xiao Luo spat out a mouthful of thick blood and fell from the sky.

  Su Li’s astute pair of eyes squinted a little. Then, she immediately transformed into a beam of Divine Light and sped toward Xiao Luo. She caught him in midair, and they continued hurtling down for another ten feet before she could cushion the impact and steady her flight.

  After Su Li caught him, Xiao Luo spat out several more mouthfuls of blood. His face had turned white and pain showed on his face.

  SWOOSH!

  Su Li landed on the ground and hurriedly tapped on his major acupuncture points to contain the hemorrhage within his body. She then gave him a recovery pill.

  “Quickly heal your injuries by yourself!”

  After she said that, Su Li bounded into the sky, leaving behind a lingering trail of her fragrance around him.

  Xiao Luo sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and focused on healing his internal injuries. There was a formidable enemy in front of him. He could not let his feelings for her distract him. Otherwise, he could protect anyone, most of all his own woman, Su Li.

  In the sky, King of Thunder was the first one to launch an attack against Saiki.

  “Kill!”

  The fearsome war hammer delivered a powerful blow. It shook the air and filled the sky with numerous purple thunderbolts that resembled pythons charged with a venomous aura. They flew at Saiki from all angles.

  The King of War soon joined in the assault. He pointed his broken sword at Saiki and went straight for him. The tip of his weapon was bursting with energy and sliced through the air effortlessly. He intended to stab Saiki with it.

  “Forget it, let us just work together this time and get rid of this guy from the Yi Clan once and for all.”

  King of Blade snapped out of his indifferent nature. With great urgency, he attacked Saiki from another direction, soaring through the sky with his mighty sword. The golden-hued Blade Light was dazzling, and it was charged with an incredible amount of energy. It was a weapon of overwhelming power.

  “Chiba…”

  The King of Swords muttered an incantation and the sword in his hand turned into a thin blade that resembled peach blossom petal. Then, it broke up into a cluster of blades that looked like sharpened bamboo strips and swarmed the entire sky as they too flew straight at Saiki.

  “So much energy being used against me… It looks like a level ten protection will not be enough. Let us increase it to level twenty!”

  Saiki smiled calmly as the golden energy shield around him grew brighter and enlarged in size. He stayed at the same spot without moving, waiting to take on the attack heading to him.

  BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

  Four massive energy beams smashed into the surface of the energy shield. The shield glowed as it absorbed a horrific amount of energy that kept building up before it exploded violently and shot toward the Xiahai Survivor Base. All the people there could feel the pressure of the blast against their chests. Their ears were humming as they fell into a temporary state of deafness.

  “You people are overestimating yourselves!”

  Saiki glanced at all Four Kings as he spoke, looking utterly arrogant.

  Suddenly, a dazzling Divine Light pierced through from below and smashed into the energy shield that protected him. The blast shattered the golden energy shield and blew Saiki into smithereens.

  The blast stunned the Four Kings, and they looked in the direction where the light came from. They saw Su Li and realized what had happened-she had launched her Divine Light.

  “This King here finally understands what ‘The villain dies from talking too much’ really means. Haha, haha…” the King of Thunder quipped as he burst out laughing.

  King of War could not help but sneer as well. “Garbage! I thought he could take the hit. He has disappointed me.”

  “Hey, hey, hey, do not jump to conclusion so soon. Something does not seem right,” muttered the King of Blades. He continued to stare at the space with a frown.

  “Does not seem right?”

  King of Thunder did not understand what he was getting at, and asked, “What is it?”

  “We saw him blow up into pieces, but there are no bloodstains at all. Do you not find it strange?” King of Blades asked.

  Hearing the King of Blades’s opinion, it suddenly dawned on the King of Thunder and King of War that something was indeed amiss.

  In the next instant, something shocking happened that made all of them open their eyes in horror.

  The countless broken fragments in the sky turned into bits of golden light. Each piece was a light source, and they rapidly came together, forming a massive orb of golden light. The light was glaringly bright and resembled a golden crow. It was difficult for them to keep their eyes open. Then the bright golden orb morphed from a spherical form into a human form. As the light faded, what they saw was Saiki, completely in one piece.

  “How… how is this possible?” exclaimed King of Thunder. He was so shocked his eyes were about to pop out.

  The King of War felt chills running down his spine. How did Saiki resurrect himself after being blown apart? What breed of monster was he—the undead?

  “I knew it wasn’t going to be so easy,” muttered the King of Blades.

  King of Swords furrowed his eyebrows a little as he hovered in midair. He stared at Saiki without blinking.

  “Hmm.”

  Saiki let out a long sigh, then smiled as he turned to look at Su Li, and said, “I did not expect the maidservant I chose to be this capable. She is much stronger than every single one of you here. I am impressed that even the level twenty energy shield could not block her attack. But it is useless anyway. I have restored my body and fortified myself with this armor. Even if you smash me into pieces, I can still rapidly bring my body back together and revive myself. I am immortal. You people do not have what it takes to kill me no matter what you do.”

  “Cannot kill you? I refuse to believe that nonsense!”

  The King of War roared. The Inner Force surged within his body and he emanated a dark, murderous aura. With a fierce look on his face, he charged at Saiki like a bull as he twirled his sword.

  The power he unleashed was so immense that even the laws of Heaven and Earth seemed to change along with him. Dark clouds filled the sky as a peal of rumbling thunder cracked above them, and the force he released smashed the mountains beneath him.

  “Air Energy Cannon!”

  Saiki muttered. Extending his right hand, his armor allowed him to draw the air around him and compressed it. With a thrust of his palm, he launched it at King of War.

  The compressed air turned into a hot white orb of light and shot from his palm. The surface of the orb was crackling with energy as it hurtled straight toward King of War at lightning speed.

  King of War instinctively crossed his arm in front of his chest. He chose not to evade it and prepared to take the direct hit.

  BOOM!

  The Air Energy Cannon exploded when it came into contact with his body. Smoke billowed out, and the explosion echoed through the sky.

  When the smoke cleared, the King of War stood unscathed, brushing the dust off his body, and mocked, “Nothing more than a mediocre parlor trick! I have nothing to fear!”

  “Is it so? Then I will let you have a taste of a bigger one.”

  Saiki gave him a sinister smile. The armor on his body sucked in more air this time, and once again, it gathered in front of his palm. Slowly, the energy orb formed, and it looked far more destructive than the previous one.

  HUM!

  The fiery light illuminated both heaven and earth. The energy cannon was gigantic, and it moved at the speed of light. The fiery orb sliced through space with devastating effect, and its aura filled the entire atmosphere.

  “King of War, you fool! Hurry and dodge it!” King of Thunder shouted.

  King of Blades, King of Swords, and Su Li watched with their hearts in their throats. They worried for the King of War.

  Dodge it?

  The King of War wondered how in the world he was going to dodge the incoming blow.

  He flashed a bitter smile, for he was too close to it to dodge it in time. The energy cannon was too fast, and it enveloped him in an instant.

  BOOM!

  The aftermath of the explosion was devastating. A thundering roar filled the air. A mushroom cloud rose, and a massive burst of energy waves spread across in all directions. King of Swords, King of Blades, and Su Li were all pushed back about four meters.

  Swirling winds formed a vortex that sucked various small objects from the ground into the air like a roaring sandstorm.
