Chapter 204 – I alone am enough!

“Hong Yi, you know full well how powerful a Peak Tier is!” Xu Xiao sighed. “Relying on a group of ants is itself a mistaken idea!”

“Arrogance!”

Xu Xiao’s words undoubtedly provoked the anger of countless Experts from the two major regions—this was far too dismissive of them!

They numbered in the millions, far exceeding the Peak Tier faction led by Xu Xiao.

Moreover, there were numerous High-Tier Giants! Even if they had to swarm you, a single Peak Tier, they could overwhelm you through sheer numbers!

With the existence of the ‘Faction Breathing Technique,’ these High-Tier Giants could gather the power of countless individuals into themselves, unleashing a blow capable of destroying heaven and earth.

What could you possibly use to block it?

How dare you regard them as ants!

“Xu Xiao, you will pay the price for your arrogance!” roared a High-Tier Giant from the Southwest Region. Given their status, when had they ever been looked down upon like this?

Xu Xiao was the first!

Others echoed in agreement.

Even the Southeast Region was seething with indignation; the expressions of its seven High-Tier Giants were far from pleasant.

Ye Sheng’s face remained calm as he observed the figure of Xu Xiao from the Central Region. He had always been curious: how did these Aberrations manage to step into the ‘Peak Tier’ level?

Especially after he himself had entered this level, he increasingly felt just how difficult it was to achieve it!

…

Tang Hongyi raised a hand, signaling for the people of the two major regions to quiet down. Her white jade Fox Mask glowed as she looked coldly at Xu Xiao and said, “How would we know without trying?”

Xu Xiao shook his head; he had seen too many stubbornly deluded people.

In front of television screens, the entire Nanming Province was also focused on this battle.

After all, this was the first battle involving Peak Tiers, naturally attracting the attention of countless people. Numerous unimaginably Great Aristocratic Families were watching.

“A battle of this level is rare to see!” said a middle-aged man in a Ghost Mountain City teahouse, his eyes fixed on the television screen.

“Indeed!” another agreed. “Peak Tiers are rare to begin with. For four to appear at once this time is somewhat unbelievable.”

“I remember the highest level in the previous session was only High-Tier Giants…”

“This session’s competition is too intense!”

“I was originally worried about Ghost Mountain City, but now I can just slack off!”

Everyone discussed.

“This battle is likely to shake heaven and earth! Not to mention the sheer number of people involved, with Peak Tiers present and the Faction Breathing Technique in play, even Blood Fiend City might be shattered, right?”

“Stop talking, they’re probably about to make their move!”

The crowd began to grow tense.

…

At the border of the Central Region, it was eerily quiet. The forces from the two major regions had fallen silent in unison; not a sound could be heard in the air, so quiet that a pin drop would be audible.

Everyone turned their gaze toward Tang Hongyi, the alliance leader.

This time, she would take the lead. Only her Combat Power was infinitely close to the Peak Tier, allowing her to face a Peak Tier head-on.

No one else could!

Whoosh!

Amid the silence, Tang Hongyi took a step forward. Clad in red, her demeanor was graceful, and her white jade Fox Mask emitted a soft white light.

With this step, the Breathing Technique within Tang Hongyi’s body vibrated, and surging Aura Radiance shone forth.

Nearly 87% of the Aura Radiance outside her body had transformed into red, with only 13% remaining gold, indicating that she was still a High-Tier Giant who had not yet stepped into the Peak Tier ranks, leaving a gap between her and the Peak Tier.

At the same time, the Faction Breathing Technique also began to operate. Her body surface glowed, and a special energy resonance frequency appeared in the Void.

Boom!

“We are here to aid the Faction Lord!”

Tang Hongyi, as a Faction Lord, commanded a faction of nearly seven hundred thousand people. At this moment, they all stepped forward in unison to assist Tang Hongyi in her battle against the Peak Tier, each activating their faction’s unique ‘Faction Breathing Technique’.

The energy resonance frequency formed by the ‘Faction Breathing Technique’ of the same faction was identical to Tang Hongyi’s frequency.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

As the Faction Breathing Technique was activated, streams of energy radiance drifted like sparks from the bodies of over seven hundred thousand people, then followed a special frequency in the Void to transmit toward Tang Hongyi.

From a distance, it looked as though a sea of light had risen from the area where the seven hundred thousand people stood. That sea of light was boundless energy, converging toward Tang Hongyi alone.

Boom!

Tang Hongyi’s figure was instantly engulfed by the endless sea of light, which then surged into her body, causing her aura to become terrifyingly powerful in an instant.

“Xu Xiao, let me see just how strong you are!” Tang Hongyi spoke, her white jade Fox Mask glowing, the Void around her trembling!

Her momentum had climbed to its peak.

“Attack!”

Seeing this, the other High-Tier Giants roared in unison, activating their ‘Faction Breathing Technique’ at the same time.

Just like Tang Hongyi, an endless sea of light surged toward these High-Tier Giants, elevating their auras to unimaginable heights.

The seven High-Tier Giants from the Southeast District were not willing to fall behind either. They immediately activated their ‘Faction Breathing Technique’, choosing to join forces with the Southwest District to strike swiftly and decisively, aiming to deliver a thunderous blow to the Peak Tier faction!

Everyone understood the principle of striking while the iron was hot!

Especially when facing a Peak Tier faction!

…

“Peak, let us annihilate them!” In the Central District, an Expert from the Peak Tier faction requested to join the battle!

They had a million followers, no less than the two districts combined.

“Peak! We request to fight!”

Within the Peak Tier faction, countless voices shouted out, their eyes gleaming with boundless fighting spirit. They looked at the two allied districts without fear, even eagerly anticipating the battle!

Under the watchful eyes of all…

Xu Xiao remained unhurried. He put away his white handkerchief, a smile always on his face. Glancing at the two districts with millions of people, he chuckled, “I alone am enough!”

“What?!”

As soon as Xu Xiao spoke, even the members of the Peak Tier faction were utterly shocked!

Their Peak intended to face millions alone?

How was that possible?

…

Xu Xiao stepped forward, dressed in a blue robe, looking every bit like a scholar. Alone, he walked toward the millions from the two districts.

“Xu Xiao!”

Tang Hongyi soared through the air, accompanied by an endless sea of light, her white jade Fox Mask glowing. She intended to suppress and kill Xu Xiao, proving that even without stepping into the Peak Tier, she was no less than these Aberrations like Xu Xiao.

“Hong Yi… why are you so stubborn?”

Whoosh!

Amid the endless sea of light, Tang Hongyi’s momentum was overwhelming. Yet, in the next second, a figure in a blue robe appeared before her in the blink of an eye, gazing at her with pity in his eyes.

“Die!” Tang Hongyi struck out with a palm, the endless sea of light moving with her. This palm, backed by the power of seven hundred thousand people, was enough to pierce straight through Blood Fiend City.

Xu Xiao shook his head and struck out with a palm of his own. This palm carried no trace of aggression, simply brushing gently past Tang Hongyi’s cheek.

Crack!

The Endless Sea of Light shattered, and along with it, the white jade Fox Mask on Tang Hongyi’s face crumbled into countless fragments under Xu Xiao’s palm, revealing a breathtakingly beautiful countenance. Yet, in those eyes, there was nothing but utter disbelief!

She had lost!

With the might of seven hundred thousand souls and her own 87% cultivation of red Aura Radiance, she had still failed to withstand Xu Xiao’s seemingly effortless strike.

Time seemed to freeze, and all color drained from Tang Hongyi’s face.
