However, the Mid Emperor Level practitioner also suffered a tiny bit of injury from the boulder's recoil damage. There were two reasons for this.
First, this Mid Emperor Level practitioner's technique hadn't truly unfolded yet when it was suddenly interrupted, which would cause a little backlash. If it were just this alone, there wouldn't be any real problem - this little backlash could be suppressed.
This leads to the second reason - the boulder's force was quite substantial. If an ordinary person were hit by this boulder, they would definitely vomit blood and die. To put it simply, this boulder's power was equivalent to a master's full-force attack.
This master's level might not reach Emperor Level, but under full force, and at such a coincidental timing, it happened to deal injuring damage to that Mid Emperor Level practitioner. This could only be called a very, very coincidental coincidence.
If this was rely a coincidence, others could still accept it. But if this coincidence was a calculated result by soone, this would be sothing people wouldn't dare believe, or even think about.
At least, the people here wouldn't imagine this possibility!
How could they think that Xiaoyao had long ago arranged many chanisms and traps here, including those that eliminated the two Emperor Level Peak practitioners? Behind the small waterfall, he had similarly arranged quite a few traps.
Why arrange these? Did this even need asking? Guxing was the one breaking through - she was about to break through to Saint Level. At such a mont, how could Xiaoyao not make so preparations just in case?
...
Previously, Xiaoyao and Guxing had rested here, and during one of Guxing's cultivation sessions, she discovered she seed about to break through, so she stayed here.
Whether for Xiaoyao or Guxing, breakthrough was most important. As for whether it would delay their journey, this was a completely insignificant small matter. Even if they might be refused entry to the Huangpu Family because of this, it didn't matter.
Even for Guxing, if there was a chance to break through, it couldn't be missed!
When Li Yihun arrived here, Xiaoyao had already been here for two days. In those two days, he had completed all preparations, enough to handle martial artists below Emperor Level including Emperor Level, as long as the numbers weren't too many.
This was also Xiaoyao's precaution. He hadn't expected Emperor Level practitioners to really co cause trouble, and more than one at that. Originally, on this land, Emperor Level practitioners were a very rare portion of people, and these people wouldn't cause trouble for no reason. Before this, he really hadn't thought such a situation would occur.
His arrangents were rely precautionary. As a result, this one-in-ten-thousand situation appeared, making his arrangents not wasted effort. It was unknown whether this should be called lucky, or that every matter should be fully prepared for.
Even with advance preparation, that boulder attack just now wasn't sothing that could be easily accomplished just by being prepared. This required very delicate operations and precise calculations - it had to be just right, not a fraction faster or slower.
At the sa ti, one first had to see through that Mid Emperor Level practitioner's technique. This was the most difficult and most crucial point. That Mid Emperor Level practitioner understood this too - he just felt this was only a coincidence. Otherwise, how could a small figure like Xiaoyao possibly see through his technique? This wasn't sothing such a small figure could do.
At minimum, this small figure was rely General Level - impossible to see through his Mid Emperor Level technique. Even if he happened to see through it, there wouldn't be ti to react.
Therefore, this was rely a coincidence!!
Continue - I want to eliminate this kid. Let's see if this coincidence can continue to accompany you.
Although this Mid Emperor Level practitioner was injured, it was only a minor injury that wouldn't prevent him from continuing to attack. It could even be said that his combat power hadn't suffered any damage.
If he couldn't even suppress this little backlash, then his Mid Emperor Level would be an empty reputation!
"Kid, go die!!"
That Mid Emperor Level practitioner used another major technique, and this ti he even charged it up. This technique was much more powerful than the previous one, with far fewer flaws. This ti, the possibility of being countered beca much smaller.
However, Xiaoyao found this technique seed very familiar...
"Break!!"
Xiaoyao sohow controlled the chanisms again, and another stone flew toward that Mid Emperor Level practitioner, precisely hitting that tiny flaw in the Mid Emperor Level practitioner's technique - a flaw that even sa-level experts couldn't find, but was once again found by Xiaoyao.
Almost without any difficulty, because Xiaoyao had seen this move before. This was one of the few techniques from this land that he had witnessed, and he had seen it not long ago at that. This was that—
Supre Sword Arts!!
"Another coincidence!"
When the stone flew toward his flaw, that Mid Emperor Level practitioner's view of this matter was that it was still a coincidence. He imdiately made changes, covering up the flaw.
Techniques were dead, but people were alive. So flaws could be redied when discovered by others, as long as your speed was faster than the opponent's and you didn't let them hit your flaw.
This was also why sotis, even knowing a technique had flaws, one couldn't use fixed patterns to counter it, because the opponent would change their moves!
Under this change, the Mid Emperor Level practitioner's technique was not only not stopped, but beca even more powerful. This new variation made the original technique's power even greater - this was originally a type of variation of the Supre Sword Arts.
The Supre Sword Arts weren't without flaws, but so of their variations turned these flaws into attack thods. However, mastering these follow-up variations was quite difficult, especially being able to naturally change during battle.
Being able to reach this level ant this move had been successfully mastered.
This Mid Emperor Level practitioner's Supre Sword Arts move had clearly been successfully cultivated. Previously, relying on this move, he had defeated many formidable opponents. For soone like Xiaoyao, he felt this was already too much - this was a kind of grace toward Xiaoyao!!
However, sothing unexpected happened - that miraculous coincidence appeared once again...
Near Xiaoyao, stone attacks continued appearing, almost imdiately after the previous stone attack appeared, even before the Mid Emperor Level practitioner could change his move, already advancing along certain trajectories.
These trajectories seed sowhat inexplicable at first glance, as if they had missed their target and weren't attacking that Mid Emperor Level practitioner. But from subsequent developnts, everyone understood this wasn't missing - it was a terrifying predictive attack.
When the Mid Emperor Level practitioner's technique changed, one stone coincidentally appeared at the flaw in his new variation. So the Mid Emperor Level practitioner began changing again, but this change was exactly restrained by another stone, so he began changing again.
But he discovered with horror that these changes were still being restrained. Most terrifying was that so stones had clearly missed past him, but after his changes, he happened to collide with them.
This gave observers an illusion - it seed like this Mid Emperor Level practitioner was deliberately colliding with those stones, making the scene very eerie.
"Bang!"
Finally, that Mid Emperor Level practitioner was hit in the chest by a stone. This ti, he was sowhat injured...
"Pah!"
The Mid Emperor Level practitioner spat out blood, looking at Xiaoyao. Now in his eyes, besides anger, there was also a trace of fear. He couldn't understand how Xiaoyao had done this.
Not to ntion how he saw through his changes - even how he controlled these stones was completely unclear to him.
Knowing nothing could summarize his current situation. What made it hard for him to accept was that Xiaoyao was still a General Level small figure. If Xiaoyao were a worldly master, he would find it sowhat more acceptable.
This made him think more and more without understanding, with frustration stuck in his heart, more uncomfortable than his injury.
"What exactly are you?"
At this point, if he still thought Xiaoyao was just an ordinary small figure, then he shouldn't mix in the martial world anymore. Those who mixed in the martial world were all cautious people, unless they were inexperienced young masters from aristocratic families.
"? Just a small servant, nothing worth ntioning. You'd better say who you are instead - this topic is easier to discuss." Xiaoyao smiled, making no movents, his feet fixed in that spot.
"You don't need to know who I am, or you'll die even more miserably." That Mid Emperor Level practitioner clearly wouldn't reveal his background, or perhaps he simply didn't know how to explain his background.
"Then there's nothing much to say. If you want to continue, continue. If not, wait here." Xiaoyao said indifferently.
"Wait for what?" That Mid Emperor Level practitioner was sowhat confused. Logically, Xiaoyao should say "scram," not "wait."
"Wait for my boss to finish her seclusion." Xiaoyao replied.
Wait for your boss to finish seclusion? What does that an?
For a mont he didn't understand the aning of these words, but soon he understood. If Guxing erged from seclusion, then he would only have annihilation awaiting them.
Simply put, this waiting ant waiting for death!!
The Mid Emperor Level practitioner's expression began turning gloomy, his gaze toward Xiaoyao changing - sotis angry, sotis thoughtful, sotis...
He was uncertain, uncertain what to do. Killing a small figure like Xiaoyao wasn't important, but the problem was if Guxing successfully broke through, then killing Xiaoyao would be equivalent to having Guxing kill him. Even if he didn't know the relationship between Xiaoyao and Guxing, he could be certain he would die in that case.
Because at that ti, he would be the small figure, the ant, with his life and death in Guxing's hands. Having killed her subordinate, she would definitely kill him first.
If he didn't kill Xiaoyao now, then what should he do? Should he swallow this humiliation and retreat, or summon more people? But with a Saint Level appearance, did his side still have people who could handle this?
He didn't want to think about this - better leave it for his master to consider. All decisions would depend on his master.
