Chapter 456, are you getting cocky?
Swoosh!
Although Yun Xiao’s movements were fast, the unforeseen event still occurred. The sound of a piercing wind rapidly approached, and immediately after, Yun Xiao’s formidable Power of Soul sensed a hint of danger. His extended fingers eventually retracted.
Snap!
Another faint sound followed, Yun Xiao’s gaze darkened with a mix of relief that he had withdrawn his hand promptly. At the edge of the Mixed Element Grass, a shiny short blade was now stuck. Had his hand withdrawn any slower, he might have lost all five fingers.
The two strangers went for the kill from the get go, which even for someone of Yun Xiao’s temperament, unavoidably aroused fury, especially since the ambush was aimed at the Mixed Element Grass he was determined to obtain.
"My senior brother told you to wait, didn’t you hear him? Or are you deaf?"
Just when Yun Xiao turned around with anger on his face, what first entered his ears was an exceedingly arrogant voice. At the same time, three figures entered his vision. The speaker was a lean young man with a face full of maliciousness.
However, upon a closer look, Yun Xiao found the trio unfamiliar, at least not someone he recognized from any major sects or the royal families within the Xuanyue Empire.
But on sensing the Meridian Qi aura of the leader, Yun Xiao’s heart tensed up, for this person turned out to be a supreme genius who had reached the Late Stage of Meridian Union Realm.
At such an age, the only talents he had seen who reached the Late Stage of Meridian Union Realm were the Xuanyue Crown Prince Xuan Jiuding, Lingtian Crown Prince Nie Qianqiu, and a few others from the Lingyun Sect, such as Xu Hongzhuang.
Even the Jade Pot Sect’s formerly top genius Mo Qing and the second genius Yue Qi had not broken through to the Late Stage of Meridian Union Realm; so who exactly was this guy?
