Chapter 855 - Let me handle

When the massive fireball exploded, it blew Su Li away like a bowling pin struck ferociously by a bowling ball. She fell from the sky and left a trail of blood that dissected the horizon like a bright red rainbow.

"Your Holy Highness!"

The King of Thunder roared in anguish as he watched the defeated Su Li spiraling down from the sky.

Without a word, the King of Sword forced his battered body up, intending to intercept Su Li's fall. Before he could leap into the air, a feral roar thundered nearby. Xiao Luo catapulted into the sky like a rocket, his crimson red eyes leaving two streaks of deep red light across the sky.

Su Li was grievously wounded, and as she fell in a spin, Xiao Luo caught her in midair and held her close to him.

Su Li stared at him in surprise, and a fleeting look of tenderness flashed in her dazzling eyes. But she immediately suppressed her feelings and a look of indifference formed on her face. "Let me go!"

"No!"

Xiao Luo had made up his mind. He sealed her red lips with his, cutting off any further argument.

Su Li felt a tingling feeling run through her body as all effort to suppress her love for him vanished instantly. As hard as she tried, she could no longer hide her feelings for Xiao Luo. She struggled briefly, but eventually closed her eyes and let her man dominate her. As Xiao Luo continued kissing Su Li, the holy aura surrounding her gradually weakened. The energy she emanated from her body vanished.

"Huh?"

The Four Kings and their subordinates stared at them and their jaws dropped in disbelief. It could only mean that their Holy Lord still had feelings for Xiao Luo, and they know it would cost half of her cultivation power. Su Li was already having a tough time with the alien, and with half of her cultivation gone, there was no way they could win this battle.

"We're done for!"

The King of Thunder quickly recovered from his shock and heaved a long sigh as he voiced out what was on everyone's mind.

The King of Blades put on a smile and said, "Hey, do not be so pessimistic. At least we have Xiao Luo. Did the alien not say that the Xiao Clan represented the best of the Ultimate Martial? Maybe Xiao Luo is the only person who can beat this guy who represents the best of the Ultimate Tech."

"Are you delusional? The kid could not even beat the King of Swords when he was in his element. How can he even defeat this alien?" the King of Thunder retorted, not agreeing with what the King of Blades had said.

The King of War nodded, siding with the King of Thunder in a rare display of camaraderie.

"If not for the alien's atomization ability, the King of Swords could have finished him in one move. So, the secret of his power lies in his ability to atomize!"

The King of Thunder disagreed and replied, "Wrong. His energy barrier is also incredibly sturdy. Even our combined power cannot break through it. There is only one person on this planet who can do it—and that person is our Holy Highness.

The King of Blades frowned. He began to doubt Xiao Luo's capability after hearing what the King of Thunder had to say, and responded, "I am just saying maybe, not guaranteeing that Xiao Luo can beat him. Let us observe quietly. It is all we can do now. Watching them here on the ground."

The King of Thunder and the King of War smiled wryly as they looked each other in the eye.

The King of Swords was next to Curisa and had managed to stop his bleeding. He was now healing himself with his cultivation ability. There were bloodstains on the front and the back of his white robe where the alien's sword had pierced. The corner of his mouth still had traces of blood, but the King of Swords' aloof demeanor and sense of pride remained.

Xiao Luo finally stopped kissing Su Li.

He looked at the beauty blushing in his arms, and said, "Don't suppress your feelings toward me anymore. Let me handle everything. I will make sure he pays back a thousand times for what harm he has done to you!"

They landed lightly, and Xiao Luo placed Su Li gently on the ground.

He then lifted his head to the sky and stared at Saiki with his crimson red eyes. A violent and bloodthirsty aura emanated from his entire body.

His ferocious demeanor stunned Su Li and the Four Kings, for Xiao Luo resembled a demonic beast that had just awoken from its slumber.

"Saiki, I will skin you alive, slowly and surely!"

Xiao Luo stared at Saiki with murderous intent and enunciated the statement word by word.

Saiki, who was a little stunned at first, then chuckled and said, "The Ultimate Tech sent me to hunt down all the violent warriors in the universe, like those from the Xiao Clan. We hunted all of you like helpless prey. What gives you the courage to talk to me like that?"

"ROAR!"

Xiao Luo bellowed ferociously. He did not bother to argue with Saiki anymore and pounced on him like a feral beast. His intention to kill Saiki was apparent as he locked his sights on Saiki and flew directly at him. When Xiao Luo tightened his right fist, the energy it emitted shattered the surrounding space before smashing into Saiki's energy barrier.

CRACK! CRACK!

The surface of the energy barrier shuddered as waves of highly charged energy flashed violently across its surface. A deep rumble reverberated through the air and the space around them slowly cracked like a shattered mirror as web-like lines ran across the sky. The overwhelming force of the impact burst out in waves of tremendous energy, distorting the air as the waves traveled outward.

"You idiot! My Level 20 energy barrier can block all your attacks. So, what are you going to do now?" Saiki scoffed at Xiao Luo.

"I'm going to do this!" Xiao Luo shouted back as he launched another attack.

A sinister-looking black dagger suddenly appeared in Xiao Luo's left hand. Before his foe could react, Xiao Luo channeled his True Inner Force into it and stab at the golden energy barrier fiercely.

The dagger had once belonged to Chen Feng. Xiao Luo snatched it from him during their fight at the God Weapon Conference in Tarawa City. The dagger was imbued with evil energy, and Xiao Luo had initially intended to use it against the Four Kings of the Light Clan. He found no opportunity to use it then, but the chance now presented itself. He would use it on Saiki.

To the black dagger, the golden energy barrier was like a layer of butter as it penetrated Saiki's chest with ease. Xiao Luo then yanked it upward, and the sharp dagger cleaved Saiki's upper body in half, right through his skull. The upper halves of his body split apart and fell to either side.

Xiao Luo did not stop there. He raised in the air and opened his palm, and the Dragon Saber flew into his hand from the ruins below, like a ray of bloody-red light.

"Die!"

He roared as he slashed down at Saiki.

TRING!

The blood-red saber, a dozen meters long and three meters wide, looked like a black rainbow as it came crashing down on Saiki. The strike from Xiao Luo was like divine punishment—even the dark clouds separated in the sky.

The energy field of the invincible blade immediately engulfed Saiki. A trail of energy from the blood-red blade aura hit the ground after slicing through Saiki. It cut into the surface, gouging a deep valley that was a thousand meters long and pitch-black within.

The King of War, King of Thunder, and King of Blades were all completely stunned. Although it was not the first time they had seen Xiao Luo's blade aura, his strike in anger still shook them to the core. After the blade aura had subsided, there was no sign of Saiki anymore, not even a tiny shard of his body remained in the sky.

Could Xiao Luo have destroyed Saiki with that slash?

The three of them and their subordinates wondered.

Su Li and the King of Swords also scanned the skies, looking for traces of Saiki. They did not believe that Xiao Luo could so effortlessly destroy a powerful alien such as Saiki.
