Cultivation Esoterica - C133
The more he heard, the angrier he became. He glowered furiously at Ou De, then sneered, “Even if you’re right, what can you, or any of you, do to me?” He crossed his arms in front of his chest and had an extremely arrogant expression on his face.
Lin Xi also knew what was going on. It was very simple. Yi City’s main cultivation base was at the middle stage of the Spirit Severing Stage, while the Chang Ping Union’s president, Ou De, was at the early stage of the Spirit Building Stage. The rest of them were like Captain Hao, both late stage Void Stage and one or two middle stage Void Stage.
Looking at the situation, as long as City Lord Yi was willing to use a few Black Level Martial Arts, they would not be able to withstand it. Moreover, for someone as greedy as City Lord Yi, there should be plenty of Black Level Martial Arts. He might even be able to obtain an Earth Level Martial Art.
“We don’t want to do anything to you. We just hope that you will reduce the taxes and give us a chance to live!” After President Ou De said this, everyone became silent. Only the rustling sound of the leaves under the breeze revealed the unrest in their hearts.
At a certain moment, President Ou De turned his head slightly and gave a look to Captain Hao who was beside him.
A cold killing intent soared to the sky from Guild Leader Hao’s body.
“Whoosh!”
With a manic killing intent, he leaped towards City Lord Yi and shouted with anger, “I, your father, will avenge my brother’s death!”
City Lord Yi also quickly reacted. He slowly raised his left hand and a layer of mist sprayed toward Captain Hao.
Just as the furious Guild Leader Hao was about to come into contact with the mist …
“Bam!”
“Swish!”
A ray of light flashed past and hit Captain Hao, knocking him five to six meters off the ground.
The owner of this stream of light was Lin Xi. When Lin Xi felt that the mist spat out by City Lord Yi was filled with violent energy, if Guild Leader Hao were to touch it, he would probably be turned into a blood mist in an instant.
In addition, these members of the Beast Hunt Squad had all died under his Primordial Storm, and the self-blame existed in their hearts. Lin Xi didn’t want to see the last survivor die here, so he used his spiritual qi, which had dissipated most of the force, to knock out Captain Hao, who was about to face death.
Seeing that his “chicken” that was waiting to be slaughtered “saved”, Mayor Yi looked at Lin Xi with anger, while Lin Xi also glared at him. Lin Xi’s anger was purely because of City Lord Yi. He had just wanted to kill Captain Hao.
Looking at the resentment in Lin Xi’s and Mayor Yi’s eyes, the president of the Changping Union, Ou De rejoiced in his heart, “I’ve really fallen into his trap! “Haha!”
The only woman in this group cried out with tears in her eyes, “We… The Fire Fox Beast Hunting Team, for the sake of killing more … He had already found high level beasts. Over ten brothers … Little Sister stays in the Elephant Mountain… I’ll never be able to come back … Now you have to continue to raise taxes … ” As he spoke, he threw himself onto the shoulder of a cultivator beside him and began to cry.
With the Fire Fox and Guild Leader Hao taking the lead, the other captains and guild leaders were filled with righteous indignation as they recounted the bitterness in their hearts.
The more Lin Xi listened, the more furious she became. The lord of this city before her was actually a beast in disguise.
“Little brother, you and I are in the same boat. Moreover, you just saved him, so he won’t forgive you …” Ou De said. He covered the sly smile in his eyes with his hand and continued to speak with grief and indignation, “I hope little brother can stand on our side and get rid of this greedy killing demon!”
Lin Xi didn’t answer, because there were too many people here that were worthy of his suspicion. Just as he was thinking about what was wrong with him, City Lord Yi sneered and said, “Crossing the boundary privately, you should be executed!” Then, he looked at Lin Xi and said with an even heavier tone, “Do you want to die, or pay the tax and let me let you live?”
Of course, Lin Xi did not want to die, but he did not have spirit essence stones. In his dilemma, City Lord Yi did not know if it was because of the insanity in his mind, or if it was his intention to kill!
“Hu, hu, hu!”
City Lord Yi raised both of his hands into the air, and a large amount of greyish white mist was ejected from each of his palms. The mist reached a certain height and then began to settle on the ground.
In less than a second, the fog that had been released earlier had already started to descend. At this moment, Ou De shouted to Lin Xi, “Quickly use your storm to suppress them. If we were to absorb the fog into our bodies, we would all become puppets!”
Ah!” Lin Xi was so surprised that her jaw almost dropped to the ground. Since this move was so fierce, how could Lin Xi dare to be negligent? He hurriedly released the two prehistoric storms, hoping to have some effect.
Lin Xi was still rather surprised, “This fog looks similar to the fog on the Misty Bridge, but why is this person’s move so abnormal, even simpler than a butterfly’s method of making puppets …”
The moment Lin Xi let go of the tornado, the air in the entire forest started to move faster, and trees and grasses were quickly blown away by the wind. All the cultivators were using their spiritual energy or other methods to restrain themselves and maintain their original forms.
However, the storm had actually started a battle with the fog. Other than the whistling sound of the wind, there were no other sounds in this battle.
Two different colored energy bodies, two different forms of energy.
The storm was furious and strong. It had the ability to tear everything apart and its unique whirlpool flow could also absorb or disperse the fog, making it no longer possessing terrifying energy.
But most of the time, many things looked like they were the winners. However, the battle situation really made it hard for people to determine which energy body was stronger.
Other than Captain Hao who was surprised, all the other cultivators raised their heads to look at the flickering sky. They focused on the wild storm, but the fog was like a rope, wrapping around the two independent storms.
From the looks of it, not only was the fog not attacked by the storm, but it had also unexpectedly changed its form. Of course, this was not the most unexpected thing.
If it wasn’t for them and seeing the beads of sweat on Lin Xi’s forehead, they would’ve thought that Lin Xi was controlling the storm to deliberately release water for City Lord Yi. Although the battle between the two sides was not a real encounter between cultivators, the consumption of spiritual energy and control was not something that an ordinary person could afford.
City Lord Yi steadied his trembling legs, glancing at Lin Xi in disbelief, thinking in his heart, “Why is this kid so powerful!?” Ah ~! It was a mistake, I pushed a hidden expert towards my enemy! “
