Chapter 546 - 546: Su Xiaotian's Shock
"Hahaha!!" as the draconic prince continues to laugh thinking that even a prodigy with genius above himself can also be so foolish, he couldn't help but feel that something is off as he heard said genius' voice laughing alongside him.
With his instinct screaming at him that he is in extreme danger, Noveus realized the fact that he said something he shouldn't have way too late, the sensation of pain spreading from his sides all the way to his entire body the next thing that his brain is aware of as his vision darkened for a few moments.
The rest of the Great Ones, initially planning to laugh along with their unofficial leader, couldn't help but shut their own mouth as even they couldn't think of a reason why the immortal-like young man just flipped a switch, the previously laid-back, playful tone he has even when he's talking coldly to them now completely gone, replaced by a thick murderous intent that seems to suffocate them even harder than when they were drowning in all the blood beneath them.
The resolve to hold the laughter back strengthens itself even more as they watched the person who they thought is an unrivaled figure in their generation, get handled with complete ease by yet another person, this time, a completely unknown vampire different from the noble lady that overwhelms their entire group previously.
While he makes sure to hold back just enough so he won't kill the draconic prince, Su Xiaotian definitely shows no mercy as he starts beating Noveus up, his hand balled into a fist swinging into a curve that hit, or rather, shatters some of the dragon's ribs and shaking his organs violently, forcing the kneeling prince to vomit out blood from the blunt, brutal force raging havoc on his body.
"Mind repeating what you just said?" as he takes a look of disdain at the supposed 'peak' of this continent's current generation of geniuses writhing in pain on the ground clutching his abdomen hard as if trying to soothe the suffering he is currently experiencing, the immortal-like young man asked in a calm, cold voice before hitting the draconic prince once again, this time kicking him on his sides, forcing him to roll with his back in the air.
With the pain stinging his entire body and making him unable to move, Noveus couldn't even form coherent thoughts in his head, causing his followers, the other geniuses of the Great Ones, to just look at a daze as they stare at the person who they once thought of as an unbreakable pillar of their group now unable to even converse with the person in front of him.
"Just a little punch and a kick and you're acting up like that? What strongest genius of the current generation, what prince of the dragon? You look more like a lizard to me than anything" Su Xiaotian mutters as he refuses to stop his advances here, raising one of his feet as he slams it on the back of the draconic prince's head driving his face onto the bloodied ground, gurgling sounds echoing across the surrounding as air gradually starts escaping his lungs.
Eventually, the body of the dragon starts to struggle as it flails around, feeling the life gradually escaping from itself, the struggle, or rather, the attempt to struggle causing blood to splash everywhere as his limbs either try to hit or grasp everything within its range, which will usually scare anyone near given the physical strength of their race, and yet the one forcing him to kneel with his face on the ground just stand there, unconcerned with the strength of a dragon's physique.
"Xiaotian, be careful…" seeing the prince of the dragon's violent flailing, Liliana couldn't help but remind, taking a few steps forward as if to make sure that the immortal-like young man hears her concern, this concern seemingly affecting the other ladies beside her all nod in agreement, the beastkin even warning him about something.
"Your kin is right, Mister vampire with a weird name, Noveus might not be a good person but I gotta give credits where it is due, he's a prodigy of cultivation alright, but his combat power excels in terms of his physique the most" Orvus stated as a matter of factly, knowing what sort of monster the dragon prince is given that she had fought with him for more than several times already.
Hearing the warning of concern, as well as seeing the eyes of these members of the Great Ones seemingly looking forward to his victory more than their leader's, Su Xiaotian couldn't help but wonder just what sort of experiences did they have as a part of this group that it made them act like this even when he's practically humiliating their unofficial leader already.
Still, he doesn't let his curiosity show too much as he shows a confident smile at Liliana as he spoke words of assurance that just made her feel relieved rather than the usual annoyance she feels whenever he sounds bragging like this.
"Haha, yeah, a dragon's physique might be strong, but it's nowhere near enough to contest with me"
Except for Liliana who knows the 'true extent' of his strength, everyone else who heard his words thinks nothing too much of it, at worse, perhaps it is just some sort of bragging to make himself more appealing to the eyes of the young vampire earl.
'Well, every genius gotta have their own arrogant personality' the three front row seats even thought to themselves as they watch the back of the immortal-like young man, a smile on their faces as they all felt quite interested with this character, even more than who the initially thought was the start of this show.
All but Su Xiaotian knows the truth is that he even downplayed his estimation of the difference between his and this young man's physique, as forget now, even when the prince of the dragons pushed his physique to the limits in the future, the dragon wouldn't even be able to rival the current level of physique he has granted by his two body talents, talents that not only pushes his brute strength to the extremes, but grants him limited true invulnerability as well.
'I wonder if I can completely merge the Grand Desolation and Grand Completion Transcendent Bodies in the future…' as he thinks of the reason as to why he is capable of suppressing this young man through brute physical force alone, Su Xiaotian couldn't help but wonder, as the effects of the two activating at the same time is just too absurd, causing him to look forward to improving them in the future even more.
Shoving those thoughts to the back of his mind for now though, he then returns his attention to the dragon kneeling in front of him, lifting his feet of the back of the head to allow said dragon to breathe air, only for him to smash him down on the wet ground again, this time causing the prince to fall unconscious.
"They might be worse of an asshole compared to you, but even those Extreme Martial Sect worms have tougher will than yours" he mutters more to himself, his mind in quite the disbelief that there will be a time when he will find those detestable people who made his sister suffer in a better light one way or another compared to someone else.
