Chapter 827: Mob
"I am going to say this again. The Time-Space Bracelet is mine, and all of you should… p*ss off!"
Xiao Luo raised his head and stared chillingly at the Martial Emperors, for his blood was boiling. Had he not known of the Time-Space Bracelet's existence, he would not have felt such a strong inclination to challenge this group of Martial Emperors. But now, it became his obsession, for he intended to use it to reach the Light Clan's sacred land. He had no time to waste, and it was reflected in his tone of voice.
"What an arrogant brat! I'm not sure what has gotten into you, but do you have what it takes to do so to challenge so many of us for the Time-Space Bracelet?" a Martial Emperor-level powerhouse sneered as he glared icily at Xiao Luo.
As soon as those words were spoken, his pupils shrank, and a chill ran through his entire body. He suddenly found himself shaking in horror, for Xiao Luo who was earlier on stage with him, just vanished without a trace before his very eyes. He did not see where Xiao Luo went but sensed imminent danger from the depths of his heart.
"Be careful! He is behind you!" Someone shouted out the warning to him.
Behind me?
The Martial Emperor exponent shuddered as he turned around. When he saw Xiao Luo descending from the void with his right palm extended toward him, he immediately broke into a cold sweat. In the next second, a massive burst of energy surged from Xiao Luo's palm.
BOOM!
From mid-air, Xiao Luo's blow ripped into the Martial Emperor and struck with an explosive force, knocking the Martial Emperor to the ground. The impact created a large human-shaped pit where the Martial Emperor had crashed and the hole looked rather deep.
"Gasp!"
Everyone held their breaths as they stared in awe at Xiao Luo, who was still hovering in the air. Being able to remain in mid-air suggested that he had to be the rank of a Martial Emperor or above. It was simply unimaginable that a young man in his twenties was already a Martial Emperor. Considering what they just witnessed, he might be even more skilled than a Martial Emperor.
Xiao Luo's move shocked the other Martial Emperor exponents. Every one of them looked stunned as they hovered in mid-air.
Meanwhile, Chen Feng took a pill out from his sleeve. He popped it into his mouth and swallowed it. From the moment he ate it, his aura suddenly elevated to the Martial Lord level from his present Martial Spirit level. Then it continued to move up to the Martial Emperor level.
BAM!
He stomped his feet on the ground and shot up into the sky, and there he hovered among the other Martial Emperors.
"Boosting Yuan Elixir? Was it a Boosting Yuan Elixir that he just consumed?"
"It certainly was. It is a forbidden elixir that temporarily increases a man's cultivation level but at the expense of his life force. Besides, the cost to refine such elixirs is immense. The people in Arcana Land can scarcely afford it."
"No wonder this guy dared to go up to snatch the Time-Space Bracelet. So this is what he was hiding."
"Unfortunately, someone highly skilled turned up halfway through. Even if this guy reaches the Martial Emperor level, I don't think he has a chance to get the Time-Space Bracelet."
"It may not be the case. The other young chap over there is too arrogant and has already stirred up the hornet's nest. I have a feeling that everyone will join forces to deal with the young chap first."
The people on the ground chatted as they raised their heads to look at the group in the sky. The once-in-a-hundred-year battle amongst martial art exponents had them all excited and anxious at the same time. They retreated to a safe distance to avoid getting hurt from the aftermath of the fight.
The Dwarven Elders descended back to the ground. The competitors had undoubtedly taken the battle into the air from the ground.
"Elder Lu De, it is against the rules to consume a Boosting Yuan Elixir, isn't it?" the grumpy old dwarven asked.
"The rule I have set is that one cannot use lethal weapons. The Boosting Yuan Elixir does not fall into the category. Hence, it is, therefore, allowed," answered Lu De.
Naturally, Lu De being a well-respected elder, the other Dwarven Elders did not question his decision and kept silent.
Lu De looked at Xiao Luo with concern. He muttered, "This young man is intensely hostile in temperament. His moves are bold and he is merciless. If someone as vicious as him acquires the Time-Space Bracelet, I am afraid it will cause serious harm to the entire Arcana Land."
"If you are afraid that something like that would happen, Elder Lu De, do not give him the Time-Space Bracelet," the grumpy old dwarf said.
Lu De smiled bitterly and replied, "It will give everyone the impression that dwarves are not trustworthy, will it not?"
"We are the ones hosting the God Weapon Conference. The final say is with us, and we can give our God Weapons to whoever we want. If he dares to cause trouble, I will be the first to destroy him," the grumpy old dwarf said.
"We shall see. The one who will triumph may not be this young man," said Lu De as he stared up at the group in the sky.
Up in the air, the Martial Emperors stood together against Xiao Luo.
"Noble ones, I believe every one of you is aware of the situation we are in. If we do not join hands, this man will beat every one of us. He will win the competition with ease and get the Time-Space Bracelet. It is unfair to all of us. For the sake of fair play, I suggest we team up to deal with him first. After defeating him, we can continue the competition among ourselves. In this way, no matter who gets the Time-Space Bracelet in the end, I believe we can all accept the result more readily," Chen Feng said in an attempt to fan the flames of discord.
Those words immediately won over the Martial Emperors.
"Very well, then. Let us work together and deal with this young brat first!"
"The brat is too arrogant, acting like he is invincible!"
"If I do not eliminate him first, I will feel uncomfortable inside!"
…
Xiao Luo glared at those people contemptuously and said, "Looks like you will only cry when death finally stares you in the face!"
Xiao Luo enraged a Martial Emperor with those words. "You little b*stard! Stop acting so superior! When I was out on the streets, you were still at some corner sucking on your mother's milk!" yelled the Martial Emperor. Then, he blasted a fist at Xiao Luo across the air.
ROAR!
His True Inner Force morphed into a golden lion, snarling and roaring as it charged for a few steps before leaping high toward Xiao Luo. It opened its massive jaws to reveal its sharp fangs, intent on tearing Xiao Luo into pieces.
"You are first!"
Xiao Luo grinned. In the blink of an eye, his body vanished, and the snarling golden tiger snapped its jaws at thin air. Instantly, Xiao Luo appeared before the Martial Emperor and mercilessly slapped him. The tremendous force of the palm shattered the Martial Emperor's True Inner Energy barrier.
"Arrgh!"
The Martial Emperor spat out a lot of blood. Like the person before him, he plummeted from the sky. He smashed onto the ground like a falling meteorite, creating a giant crater.
"Hiyah!"
Quickly, the other Martial Emperors recovered from the shock. They charged all at once toward Xiao Luo, bellowing their battle cries.
Xiao Luo was humming lightly. From the ground, his figure appeared to flicker as he streaked through the air, leaving a trail of afterimages. And each time he reappeared, he was suddenly meters ahead. It was hard to impede his movements.
In the sky, the energies of several Martial Emperor exponents shone like stars descending from the Ninth Heaven. Every inch of space was filled with violent flashes of energy. Their unified forces caused space to distort and the ground to shake.
"Little gnat, die!"
The Martial Emperors joined forces to combat Xiao Luo. The immense power unleashed from their palms encapsulated Xiao Luo, and the destructive energy gradually tore at the space surrounding him. As long as they worked as one, Xiao Luo would be shredded to pieces.
Chen Feng seized the opportunity to sneak up on Xiao Luo. He took out a jet-black dagger from his sleeve and viciously stabbed Xiao Luo in his heart. There was a blind spot in the sky. Chen Feng was confident that the Dwarven Elders on the ground could not see what he was doing.
