Chapter 1786: Chapter 1778: Was It You Who Killed My Disciple?
Blood rain sprayed from high above, staining the bodies of the other two completely red.
The remaining two, upon seeing themselves covered in blood, screamed and could no longer suppress their inner fear, fleeing in a panic.
Watching the two panic-stricken flee, Huang Xiaolong casually waved his hand, sending them crashing into the distant mountain peaks, causing the mountains to collapse and bury their bodies.
Huang Xiaolong turned to Peng Xiao and said, "Let’s go and heal your injuries first."
Peng Xiao nodded obediently, full of tenderness.
Standing behind Huang Xiaolong just now, looking at his broad and strong back, she felt an unprecedented sense of security in her heart.
Huang Xiaolong took Peng Xiao and disappeared from the scene.
Just as Huang Xiaolong and Peng Xiao left, outside the Heavenly Platform Square, Bright Emperor Palace Ancestor Chen Wenqian’s face was gloomy. Just now, his direct disciple Lv Xiu had vanished from the leaderboard!
Dead!
He had three direct disciples, and though Lv Xiu wasn’t the most talented, he was definitely his favorite.
Moreover, he noticed that along with Lv Xiu, two other Heavenly Monarch Realm disciples of the Bright Emperor Palace had also vanished almost simultaneously.
Every Heavenly Monarch Realm disciple was a key focus for cultivation within the Bright Emperor Palace, and countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures had been spent, along with much heart blood.
"Investigate, make sure someone finds out clearly who’s responsible, who it is!" Chen Wenqian nearly spat as he spoke to the Law Enforcement Hall Master beside him.
Now, with only seven, almost eight days into the preliminaries, a shocking thirty-four disciples from the Bright Emperor Palace had fallen! And these were just the ones recorded on the leaderboard; who knows how many weren’t listed.
Among these thirty-four, eight were in the Heavenly Monarch Realm!
Chen Wenqian’s face twitched.
This was absolutely unheard of in previous Heaven battles.
In the past, rarely did Heavenly Monarch Realm disciples fall, and even then, it was just one or two.
But now, with only seven days passed, eight have already fallen! At this rate, won’t all the Heavenly Monarch Realm disciples of the Bright Emperor Palace be wiped out?!
Who is it? Who?! It must be someone targeting the disciples of the Bright Emperor Palace!
Chen Wenqian’s eyes were full of coldness as he looked in the direction of Creation Emperor Palace, where Zhao Lei and Li Shan were. In the Divine World, none would dare target their Bright Emperor Palace disciples or oppose them, except for Huang Xiaolong!
"Huang Xiaolong, you dog, born of a woman!" Chen Wenqian silently cursed in his heart.
No matter the outcome of this Heaven battle, he wouldn’t let Huang Xiaolong leave alive!
At this time, Huang Xiaolong and Peng Xiao arrived inside a small cave.
Taking out a Great Buddha Relic Pill, Huang Xiaolong had Peng Xiao swallow it, then channeled his Light Supreme Divine Power, placing his hand on Peng Xiao’s back to help her refine the pill’s medicinal power faster.
After a while, Peng Xiao’s originally pale face began to redden.
However, at the same time, Peng Xiao’s breaths from her delicate nose grew somewhat heavy.
"Peng Xiao, how are you?" Huang Xiaolong withdrew his hand, noticing Peng Xiao’s peculiar breathing and asked worriedly.
Peng Xiao glanced at Huang Xiaolong, her cheeks blushing with embarrassment, shook her head with a voice as low as a mosquito: "I’m fine, much better."
Just now, her unusual breathing was because of Huang Xiaolong’s hand against her back; his hand was solid, warm, and hot!
Hot enough to make her uncomfortable, a different kind of discomfort.
Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaolong breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "That’s good then."
As for Peng Xiao’s peculiarity, he hadn’t considered it further.
Peng Xiao stood up, calming her heartbeat, and looked gently at Huang Xiaolong: "I’m already fine, you should go to the competition."
Huang Xiaolong was momentarily stunned, then understood that Peng Xiao was worried she would hinder his ranking, as bringing her along could somewhat affect his speed in hunting Heavenly Demons and Fierce Demons.
"Silly girl." Understanding this, Huang Xiaolong laughed.
Unexpectedly, Peng Xiao gave Huang Xiaolong a flirtatious glance, her eyes filled with myriad charms, causing Huang Xiaolong’s heart to race suddenly.
"You’re the silly one." The lady retorted coyly.
Huang Xiaolong was speechless, smiling: "Alright, alright, I’m the silly one, I’m the silly one."
Peng Xiao watched Huang Xiaolong’s goofy look and giggled, her laughter full of tender charm.
Looking at the charming Peng Xiao, Huang Xiaolong was momentarily dazed.
Normally, Peng Xiao was as proud and aloof as Li Lu, and Huang Xiaolong rarely saw her display such charm. Her smile was like a warm spring breeze, like tens of thousands of flowers blooming.
"Dummy." Peng Xiao, seeing Huang Xiaolong looking dazedly at her, blushed and suddenly leaned in, lightly pressing her rosy lips against Huang Xiaolong’s left cheek, then pulled away.
Huang Xiaolong’s eyes widened.
Peng Xiao’s face turned even redder, like a ripe apple.
"Peng Xiao." Huang Xiaolong muttered.
"Yeah." The lady responded in a voice as soft as a mosquito.
"How about, we, do it again?"
...
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, twenty-nine days had gone by.
This was the last day of the preliminaries.
It seems that the competing disciples had exhausted all their efforts earlier, and by the last day, they were all exhausted, causing the points to grow at a slower pace.
Still ranked first was Huang Xiaolong, with an astonishing score of thirty-four million three hundred forty-six thousand!
This number was enough to shock many people.
The second-ranked Heavenly Son Emperor Di Jing only had twenty-five million six hundred twenty-three thousand.
A difference of over eight million!
Third place, Evil God Emperor’s Son Feng Shan, had only a little over twelve million, and fourth place, Bright Emperor’s Son Lan Tailong, had a little over eleven million.
As for fifth place, True God Sect Long Shaozhen had even less, not even reaching ten million, only over nine million.
In the varied eyes of the crowd at the Heavenly Platform Square, the preliminaries finally ended, and one by one, the competing disciples were transported out of the Heavenly Platform Secret Realm.
Huang Xiaolong, Peng Xiao, and the other Creation Emperor Palace disciples were successively transported out.
Seeing only a little over four hundred Creation Emperor Palace disciples transported out, Huang Xiaolong’s face darkened; the fate of those not transported out could already be imagined.
Under the Evil God Emperor Palace’s bounty, almost all other Emperor Palace disciples treated the Creation Emperor Palace disciples as prey.
At this moment, Bright Emperor’s Son Lan Tailong, along with Bright Emperor Palace Ancestor Chen Wenqian and others, walked toward Huang Xiaolong.
Then, Evil God Emperor’s Son Feng Shan, Evil God Emperor Palace Ancestor Liu Yuan, and others also approached.
Following the Bright Emperor Palace were the people from Gudu Emperor Palace, Nine Dragon Emperor Palace, Thousand Poison Emperor Palace, and Flying Flower Emperor Palace.
In an instant, the Creation Emperor Palace was surrounded by the other Emperor Palaces, watertight.
Huang Xiaolong looked at the crowds from the Bright Emperor Palace and Evil God Emperor Palace with a cold expression.
The first to speak was the Bright Emperor Palace Ancestor Chen Wenqian, who coldly looked at Huang Xiaolong: "Huang Xiaolong, speak! Was it you who killed my disciple?!"
